        Conga Line on the Amazon

        Conga Line on the Amazon

        by David Myles Robinson

        David Myles Robinson was eight years old when he first got hooked on travel. Since then, he’s seen most of the world—all its continents plus, he laments, “far too many places where travel is now off-limits.”After a lifetime of visiting near and far, in heat and in cold, in comfort and in danger, Robinson has put it all together now in this unique collection of the varied travel adventures he’s found—and the lessons he’s learned from them. A Fellini-esque view of the Amazon, a Mercedes caravan to Istanbul, Jane Goodall's amazing chimps—just part of a travel trunk full of experiences guaranteed to keep you seesawing from “Boy, I'd love to do that" to “Sure glad it was him, not me.”In Conga Line on the Amazon, Robinson brings to his first travel book the same gift for intriguing narrative and sharp characterization that has won praise for his six highly successful novels. Some of his tales may be for the strong of heart, but they’re all for the reader with a yen to be entertained by one intrepid man’s adventures and misadventures exploring the strange and wonderful world we live in.

        The life of mise-en-scène

        Visual style and British film criticism, 1946–78

        by John Gibbs

        The life of mise-en-scène offers a critical history of key debates about visual style in British film journals in the post-war period. It reclaims an often-ignored or misrepresented history, including: the concept of film poetry in the journal Sequence, changing attitudes in Sight and Sound during the 1950s, and the battle over the significance of film style which raged between a number of small journals and the national press in the early 1960s. It examines the British school, first associated with Movie in the 1960s, which, in Adrian Martin's words, is enjoying a 'widespread, international revival' - but also other critical movements, more hazily remembered. It explores the role of mise-en-scène in melodrama criticism, and considers what happened to detailed criticism as major theoretical movements emerged in the 1970s. In doing so, it provides a vital context for the contemporary practice of style-based criticism and challenges received notions of critical history, developing our understanding of a range of other key debates and concerns in the study of film. ;

        Victorian demons

        Medicine, masculinity, and the Gothic at the fin-de-siècle

        by Andrew Smith

        Victorian demons provides the first extensive exploration of largely middle-class masculinities in crisis at the fin de siècle. It analyses how ostensibly controlling models of masculinity became demonised in a variety of literary and medical contexts, revealing the period to be much more ideologically complex than has hitherto been understood, and makes a significant contribution to Gothic scholarship. Andrew Smith demonstrates how a Gothic language of monstrosity, drawn from narratives such as 'The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' and 'Dracula', increasingly influenced a range of medical and cultural contexts, destabilising these apparently dominant masculine scripts. He provides a coherent analysis of a range of examples relating to masculinity drawn from literary, medical, legal and sociological contexts, including Joseph Merrick ('The Elephant Man'), the Whitechapel murders of 1888, Sherlock Holmes's London, the writings and trials of Oscar Wilde, theories of degeneration and medical textbooks on syphilis.

Suggests that Dickens was one of the forces which contributed to the appearance of film towards the end of the nineteenth century. ;

        David, Donne and Thirsty Deer

        Selected Essays of Anne Lake Prescott

        by Anne Lake Prescott, Roger Kuin, William A. Oram

        For nearly half a century Anne Lake Prescott has been a force and an inspiration in Renaissance studies. A force, because of her unique blend of learning and wit and an inspiration through her tireless encouragement of younger scholars and students. Her passion has always been the invisible bridge across the Channel: the complex of relations, literary and political, between Britain and France. The essays in this long-awaited collection range from Edmund Spenser to John Donne, from Clément Marot to Pierre de Ronsard. Prescott has a particular fondness for King David, who appears several times; and the reader will encounter chessmen, bishops, male lesbian voices and Roman whores. Always Prescott's immense erudition is accompanied by a sly and gentle wit that invites readers to share her amusement. Reading her is a joyful education.

        French cinema in the 1970s

        The echoes of May

        by Alison Smith

        This book re-examines French cinema of the 1970s. It focuses on the debates which shook French cinema, and the calls for film-makers to rethink their manner of filming, subject matter and ideals in the immediate aftermath of the student revolution of May 1968. Alison Smith examines the effect of this re-thinking across the spectrum of French production, the rise of new genres and re-formulation of older ones. Chapters investigate political thrillers, historical films, new naturalism and Utopian fantasies, dealing with a wide variety of films. A particular concern is the extent to which film-makers' ideas and intentions are contained in or contradicted by their finished work, and the gradual change in these ideas over the decade. The final chapter is a detailed study of two directors who were deeply involved in the debates and events of the 70s, William Klein and Alain Tanner, here taken as exemplary spokesmen for those changing debates as their echoes reached the cinema.

        Forty Years of Stage Life -- Mei Lanfang's Statement

        by Mei Lanfang ，Mei Lanfang Memorial Hall

        Mei Lanfang's surviving literature amounts to more than 6 million words. Forty Years of Stage Life is the core of his works. It is a self-description of Mr. Mei Lanfang's life. It is the most convenient and reliable way to approach the master and understand his artistic life. The previous editions of the book were arranged according to the published versions under certain historical conditions. This is the first time for Mei Lanfang Memorial Hall to arrange the book according to the original manuscript, which is an original publication returning to the master's original intention based on the accumulation of long-term academic research and the revision of new materials. A large number of pictures of Mei Lanfang's stage performances, artistic creations and reports will be added to the book, as well as some hand-drawn illustrations restoring historical situations, in an effort to show and reproduce the radiance and splendor of the master artist and his unparalleled artistic life in a more comprehensive, full, real and beautiful way.

        The World and other unpublished works by Radclyffe Hall

        by Jana Funke

        This book presents a wide range of previously unpublished works by Radclyffe Hall. These new materials significantly broaden and complicate critical views of Hall's writings. They demonstrate the stylistic and thematic range of her work and cover diverse topics, including 'outsiderism', gender, sexuality, race, class, religion, the supernatural and the First World War. Together, these texts shed a new light on unrecognised or misunderstood aspects of Hall's intellectual world. The volume also contains a substantial introduction, which situates Hall's unpublished writings in the broader context of her life and work. Overall, the book invites a critical reassessment of Hall's place in early twentieth-century literature and culture and offers rich possibilities for teaching and future research. It will be of interest to scholars and undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of English literature, modernism, women's writing, and gender and sexuality studies, and to general readers. ;

        Charles Dickens and Georgina Hogarth

        A curious and enduring relationship

        by Christine Skelton

        Charles Dickens called his sister-in-law Georgina Hogarth his 'best and truest friend'. Georgina saw Dickens as much more than a friend. They lived together for twenty-eight years, during which time their relationship constantly changed. The sister of his wife Catherine, the sharp and witty Georgina moved into the Dickens home aged fifteen. What began as a father-daughter relationship blossomed into a genuine rapport, but their easy relations were fractured when Dickens had a mid-life crisis and determined to rid himself of Catherine. Georgina's refusal to leave Dickens and his desire for her to remain in his household led to rumours of an affair and even illegitimate children. He left her the equivalent of almost £1 million and all his personal papers in his will. Georgina's commitment to Dickens was unwavering but it is far from clear what he did to deserve such loyalty. There were several occasions when he misused her in order to protect his public reputation. Why did Georgina betray her once much-loved sister? Why did she fall out with her family and risk her reputation in order to stay with Dickens? And why did the Dickenses' daughter Katey say it was 'the greatest mistake ever' to invite a sister-in-law to live with a family?

        Wert- und Verteilungstheorien seit Adam Smith

        Eine nationalökonomische Dogmengeschichte. Aus dem Englischen übersetzt von Cora Stephan

        by Maurice Dobb, Cora Stephan

        Der kürzlich verstorbene britische Wirtschaftswissenschaftler Maurice Dobb, (»vgl. es 166: Organisierter Kapitalismus«) zählt zu den wenigen international hochangesehenen Vertretern seines Fachs; er hat als Methodologe und als Theoretiker gleichermaßen nachhaltig die neuere Nationalökonomie beeinflußt. Sein jüngstes Buch bestätigt den Ruf, der ihm vorausgeht: einer der führenden Interpreten wirtschaftlicher Entwicklungen und nationalökonomischer Theoriebildung zu sein. In systematischer Weise entfaltet Dobb an zwei herausragenden Problemstellungen – Einkommensverteilung und Wertlehre – die Entstehungs- und Klärungsprozesse der ökonomischen Theorie seit Smith (über Ricardo, Marx bis zu Keynes und Sraffa). Dies freilich – die Darstellung der ökonomischen Dogmengeschichte – ist nur die eine Seite der Dobbschen Argumentation; die andere bildet die ideologiekritische Auseinandersetzung mit der geschichtlichen Bedingtheit der ökonomischen Deutungssysteme und der mehr oder weniger »apologetischen« Funktion der aus ihnen abgeleiteten wirtschaftspolitischen Lösungsvorschläge. Es ist das große Verdienst der Arbeit von Dobb, den Erklärungsanspruch ökonomischer Theorien nicht nur logisch-immanent zu analysieren, sondern auch im Hinblick auf ihr Verhältnis zu der von ihnen beschriebenen Wirklichkeit.
