Ogham and The Wood Wide Web
by Wendy Trevennor
Like the Norse runes, the ogham is a system designed to help practitioners learn and remember them and their meanings. Where the Norse runes had the three Rune Poems, each version with a verse for each stave, ogham is set out in three ancient Briartharogams, word-lists, which are reproduced at the end of this book. These lists contain many kennings, little puns to add meaning, which often confuse rather than enlighten.

May 2015Frauen, die den Faden in der Hand halten
Handarbeitende Damen, Bürgersmädchen und Landfrauen von Rubens bis Hopper
by Thomas Blisniewski
Wie sehr Künstler seit jeher vom Motiv der handarbeitenden Frau fasziniert waren, spiegelt sich in den zahlreichen Gemälden aus allen Jahrhunderten bis in die Gegenwart. Thomas Blisniewski nimmt den Faden auf – und erzählt vom tugendhaften Zeitvertreib der feinen Damen, von den lustvollen Spinnereien junger Mädchen und dem mühsamen Broterwerb der einfachen Frauen. Entstanden ist eine bunte Zeitreise durch die Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte mit Bildern von Rubens, Velázquez, Renoir, Monet, Liebermann, Mary Cassatt, Carl Larsson, Frida Kahlo, Hopper und vielen anderen.

May 1991Vom Guten
by Willy Kyrklund, Angelika Gundlach
In dem schmalen Buch des Schweden Willy Kyrklund (geb. 1921) geht es um eine Untersuchung des Guten, des Gut-Seins, der Güte als Idee, als Möglichkeit, sogar als biologisch bedingtes Verhalten. Zu diesem Zweck erzählt der Autor Geschichten - komische, rührende, befremdliche. Eines von Kyrklunds wirksamsten Mitteln ist die Ironie, sie trifft sogar den Inbegriff des Guten, Gott, den Allmächtigen, der den Journalisten Kyrklund zu einem Interview empfängt in Gestalt eines Krokodils, denn »so hast du dir mich doch vorgestellt«, sagt das Krokodil zum Journalisten und serviert Tee. »Selten«, schreibt Stig Larsson, »wurden das Gute und das Göttliche so weise verspottet, mit einem so scharfen menschlichen Blick.«

Finance, labour and the politics of risk
by Claire Parfitt

The ArtsJune 2017Gothic television
by Helen Wheatley
Gothic television is the first full length study of the Gothic released on British and US television. An historical account, the book combines detailed archival research with analyses of key programmes, from Mystery and Imagination and Dark Shadows, to The Woman in White and Twin Peaks, and uncovers an aspect of television drama history which has, until now, remained critically unexplored. While some have seen television as too literal or homely a medium to successfully present Gothic fictions, Gothic television argues that the genre, in its many guises, is, and has always been, well-suited to television as a domestic medium, given the genre's obsessions with haunted houses and troubled families. This book will be of interest to lecturers and students across a number of disciplines including television studies, Gothic studies, and adaptation studies, as well as to the general reader with an interest in the Gothic, and in the history of television drama.

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2022Nordic Gothic
by Maria Holmgren Troy, Johan Hõglund, Yvonne Leffler, Sofia Wijkmark
Nordic Gothic traces Gothic fiction in the Nordic region from its beginnings in the nineteenth century, with a main focus on the development of Gothic from the 1990s onwards in literature, film, TV and new media. The volume gives an overview of Nordic Gothic fiction in relation to transnational developments and provides a number of case studies and in-depth analyses of individual narratives. It creates an understanding of this under-researched cultural phenomenon by showing how the narratives make visible cultural anxieties haunting the Nordic countries, their welfare systems, identities and ideologies. Nordic Gothic examines how figures from Nordic folklore function as metaphorical expressions of Gothic themes and Nordic settings are explored from perspectives such as ecocriticism and postcolonialism. The book will be of interest to researchers and post- and- undergraduate students in various fields within the Humanities.

by Eric Parisot, David McAllister, Xavier Aldana Reyes
Graveyard Gothic is the first sustained consideration of the graveyard as a key Gothic locale. This volume examines various iterations of the Gothic graveyard (and other burial sites) from the eighteenth century to the twenty-first, as expressed in numerous forms of culture and media including poetry, fiction, TV, film and video games. The volume also extends its geographic scope beyond British traditions to accommodate multiple cultural perspectives, including those from the US, Mexico, Japan, Australia, India and Eastern Europe. The seventeen chapters from key international Gothic scholars engage a range of theoretical frameworks, including the historical, material, colonial, political and religious. With a critical introduction offering a platform for further scholarship and a coda mapping potential future critical and cultural developments, Graveyard Gothic is a landmark volume defining a new area of Gothic studies.
