        The Costume of China

        Fifty Coloured Engravings

        by William Alexander

        In 1814, carefully selecting 50 Chinese engravings that were supplemented by wonderful text descriptions, William Alexander published the book The Costume of China in London. As the pioneering work introducing Chinese dresses overseas, this book is a true and complete restoration of the customs of China in the Emperor Qianlong era. It is now available in both Chinese and English as a hardcover book set. 50 precious hand-colored engravings depict the images of emperors, officials, soldiers, court ladies, booksellers, actors, and hawkers. They show us, in the eyes of Europeans, the Qianlong Heyday, a colorful era that dates back far.

        Secret Shakespeare

        Studies in theatre, religion and resistance

        by Richard Wilson

        Shakespeare's Catholic context was the most important literary discovery of the last century. No biography of the Bard is now complete without chapters on the paranoia and persecution in which he was educated, or the treason which engulfed his family. Whether to suffer outrageous fortune or take up arms in suicidal resistance was, as Hamlet says, 'the question' that fired Shakespeare's stage. In 'Secret Shakespeare' Richard Wilson asks why the dramatist remained so enigmatic about his own beliefs, and so silent on the atrocities he survived. Shakespeare constructed a drama not of discovery, like his rivals, but of darkness, deferral, evasion and disguise, where, for all his hopes of a 'golden time' of future toleration, 'What's to come' is always unsure. Whether or not 'He died a papist', it is because we can never 'pluck out the heart' of his mystery that Shakespeare's plays retain their unique potential to resist. This is a fascinating work, which will be essential reading for all scholars of Shakespeare and Renaissance studies. ;

        Interweaving myths in Shakespeare and his contemporaries

        by Janice Valls-Russell, Agnès Lafont, Charlotte Coffin

        This volume proposes new insights into the uses of classical mythology by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, focusing on interweaving processes in early modern appropriations of myth. Its 11 essays show how early modern writing intertwines diverse myths and plays with variant versions of individual myths that derive from multiple classical sources, as well as medieval, Tudor and early modern retellings and translations. Works discussed include poems and plays by William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and others. Essays concentrate on specific plays including The Merchant of Venice and Dido Queen of Carthage, tracing interactions between myths, chronicles, the Bible and contemporary genres. Mythological figures are considered to demonstrate how the weaving together of sources deconstructs gendered representations. New meanings emerge from these readings, which open up methodological perspectives on multi-textuality, artistic appropriation and cultural hybridity.

        Die großen Dramen, Tragödien, Historien und Komödien in zehn Bänden

        Ausgewählt, nach den Erstdrucken neu übersetzt und erläutert von Rudolf Schaller. Geschenkausgabe mit Dekorüberzug

        by William Shakespeare

        William Shakespeare wurde vermutlich am 23. April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon geboren. Seine schöpferische Sprachkraft und die meisterhafte psychologische Gestaltung seiner Charaktere begründen seine Bedeutung und seinen Ruhm als Dramatiker und Dichter. Werke wie König Johann, Ein Sommernachtstraum, Der Kaufmann von Venedig, oder seine Tragödien Hamlet, Romeo und Julia, Othello oder König Lear markieren Höhepunkte der Weltliteratur und sind von den großen internationalen Bühnen nicht mehr wegzudenken. William Shakespeare verstarb am 23. April 1616 in Stratford-upon-Avon.

        Die Sonette

        by William Shakespeare, Wolfgang Kaußen, Friedmar Apel

        William Shakespeare, getauft am 26. April 1564 in Stratford- upon-Avon, ist am 23. April 1616 dort gestorben. Kein lyrisches Werk der Weltliteratur hat den Spürsinn von Dichtern, Literaturwissenschaftlern und Übersetzern so angeregt wie Shakespeares Sonett-Zyklus, und nirgendwo ist die Rätselhaftigkeit Shakespeares so zu erfahren wie in diesen 154 Gedichten. Vierhundert Jahre nach der ersten Erwähnung von Sontten Shakespeares durch Francis Meres nach zweihundert Jahren heftiger und oft genug indezenter Liebesmühe einer weltweiten Armada von Forschern und Enthusiasten, erstrahlt das Werk mehr denn ja in ästethischer Schadenfreude: Es hat nichts preisgegeben, was die gemeine Neugier befriedigt. Shakespeares Sonette stellen die Frage nach Wahrheit, sie stellen sie dar, richten sie auf, richten sich als sie auf: Doch Wahrheit und Geltung, Schönheit und Schönschein, Obsession und Treue, Sinn und Widersinn, Lieb und Liebe, Tag und Nacht - in paradoxalen Konfigurationen werden sie der Magie des großen "Durcheinanderwerfers" ausgeliefert, und es erscheint nicht sogleich ausgemacht, wer als wessen Schatten zu gelten habe.

        »Ihr wißt ja, wie die Kleinen immer über Große reden«

        Shakespeare für Kinder

        by William Shakespeare, Peter Härtling, Hans Traxler

        Es mag sein, daß William Shakespeare der größte aller Dichter war – doch darüber wird gestritten, seit seine Theaterstücke gespielt und gelesen werden. Manche meinen, er habe gar nicht alle Stücke geschrieben, und andere nehmen an, es habe ihn gar nicht gegeben. Nicht wenige halten ihn tatsächlich für den Größten, für einen wunderbaren Geist, der mit Wörtern und Gestalten spielte. Von seinem Leben ist nicht allzu viel bekannt. Er wurde wahrscheinlich am 23. April 1564 in dem englischen Ort Stratford-upon-Avon geboren. Sein Vater, ein erfolgreicher Händler, amtierte eine Zeitlang als Bürgermeister des Ortes. Seine Mutter stammte aus einem alten Adelsgeschlecht. Er ging in seiner Stadt zur Schule, lernte Lesen, Schreiben, Rechnen, Latein. Wann er nach London ging, weiß man nicht. Er begann zu schreiben, Theater zu spielen und schloß sich bald einer Theatertruppe an, die mit Erfolg in London auftrat und das bekannteste und beste Theaterhaus gründete, das Globe Theatre. Er starb 1616. Peter Härtling hat einige der schönsten Szenen und Lieder aus Shakespeares Dramen zusammengestellt, aus den Tragödien, Komödien und Zauberspielen. Hans Traxler hat die Auswahl mit leiser Ironie illustriert.

        Dress and globalisation

        by Margaret Maynard, Christopher Breward, Bill Sherman

        Dress and globalisation is the first work to survey dress around the world, drawing together issues of consumption, ethnicity, gender and the body, as well as anthropological accounts and studies of representation. It examines international western style dress, including jeans and business suits, headwear and hairdressing, ethnicity and so called 'ethnic chic', clothes for the tourist market, the politicisation of traditional dress, 'alternative' dressing, and T-shirts as temporary markers of identity. It also considers dress and environmental issues, touching on adventure gear, the 'green' consumer and the possible impact of 'smart' clothing. Dispelling the myth of universal 'world' attire, this book demonstrates that western-style clothing transcends geographical boundaries but along with other forms of dress, can form a montage of differing tastes, ethnic preferences and national and local imperatives. By discussing the nature of globalisation, this book shows that, if economics permit, all cultures are selective in their choice of what to wear. Dress and globalisation will be welcomed by students of dress history and cultural studies. ;

        Crop Pollination by Bees, Volume 2

        Individual Crops and their Bees

        by Keith S Delaplane

        Since the second half of the 20th Century, our agricultural bee pollinators have faced mounting threats from ecological disturbance and pan-global movement of pathogens and parasites. At the same time, the area of pollinator-dependent crops is increasing globally with no end in sight. Never before has so much been asked of our finite pool of bee pollinators. This book not only explores the evolutionary and ecologic bases of these dynamics, it translates this knowledge into practical research-based guidance for using bees to pollinate crops. It emphasizes conserving wild bee populations as well as culturing honey bees, bumble bees, and managed solitary bees. To cover such a range of biology, theory, and practice from the perspectives of both the pollinator and the crop, the book is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 focuses on bees, their biology, coevolution with flowering plants, foraging ecology and management, and gives practical ways to increase bee abundance and pollinating performance on the farm. Volume 2 (this volume) focuses on crops, with chapters addressing crop-specific requirements and bee pollination management recommendations. Both volumes are essential reading for farmers, horticulturists and gardeners, researchers and professionals working in insect ecology and conservation, and students of entomology and crop protection.

        The study of dress history

        by Lou Taylor

        Over the past ten years the study of dress history has finally achieved academic respectability. This book shows how the fields of dress history and dress studies are now benefitting from the adoption of new multi-disciplinary approaches and outlines the full range of these approaches which draw on material culture, ethnography, and cultural studies. Raises a series of frank and fresh issues surrounding approaches to the history of dress, including analysis of the academic gender and subject divides that have riven it in the past. Comprehensive, engaging and trenchant, this will become the benchmark volume in the study of dress history.

        Lucy and Mum's Shoes

        by Emily Child

        Lucy and Mum's Shoes (written by Emily Child and illustrated by Warwick Kay) is the story a girl who hears the world a little differently. She is fascinated by the sounds around her, especially the sound of shoes. She dreams of a life where she is surrounded by high-heels. She dreams of being grown-up. Feeling brave one morning, Lucy sneaks into her mother’s cupboard and tries on her favourite pair of stilettos. An unusual and dreamlike day of high-heeled hope, happiness and hindrance follows, leaving Lucy a little less certain that she wants to feel grown-up after all… Lucy invites children (and adults) to be a part of her unique and quirky soundscape. Infused with a surreal eccentricity, this story uncovers what it means to “love the shoes you’re in”.

        Liebesgedichte

        Liebesszenen und Liebeslieder

        by William Shakespeare, Jutta Kaußen

        Shakespeare, der »Mann des Jahrtausends« (Time Magazine), hat die berühmtesten Liebespaare und die spannendsten Liebesgeschichten der Weltliteratur erfunden, die, obwohl schon 400 Jahre alt, selbst im heutigen Medienzeitalter ihr Publikum in den Bann ziehen.Wie kein anderer Dichter schildert Shakespeare die Verstrickungen der Liebe in all ihren erfahrbaren Aspekten und in allen Schattierungen. Ihm ist ihre seelenvolle und glückliche Seite ebenso nah wie ihre Nachtseite: die rein sexuelle und berechnende Liebe; der Betrug, Krankheit und Wahnsinn. In seinen Protagonisten oder dem lyrischen Ich der Sonette unterwirft er sich bedingungslos auch den leidvollen Folgen, nimmt sie als Prüfung an und wendet die Wunde: Die Liebe erfährt eine Wiederbelebung und Erneuerung durch Transformation der Gestalten oder durch Veränderung der Verhältnisse. Die Liebe überdauert den Tod. Der Band versammelt die Verserzählungen Venus und Adonis, Der Liebenden Klage, Der Phönix und die Taube, eine großzügige Auswahl der schönsten Sonette, einzelne Gedichte aus Der liebende Pilger und verstreut in den Stücken erschienene Lieder und Gedichte, ergänzt durch poetische Liebesszenen.
