The ArtsMay 2023Modern European cinema and love
by Richard Rushton
Modern European cinema and love examines nine European directors whose films contain stories about romantic love and marriage. The directors are Jean Renoir, Ingmar Bergman, Alain Resnais, Michelangelo Antonioni, Agnès Varda, François Truffaut, Federico Fellini, Jean-Luc Godard and Éric Rohmer. The book approaches questions of love and marriage from a philosophical perspective, applying the ideas of authors such as Stanley Cavell, Leo Bersani, Luce Irigaray and Alain Badiou, while also tracing key concepts from Freudian psychoanalysis. Each of the filmmakers engages deeply with notions of modern love and marriage, often in positive ways, but also in ways that question the institutions of love, marriage and the 'couple'.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2013The Papal Reform of the Eleventh Century
Lives of Pope Leo IX and Pope Gregory VII
by I. Robinson
The eleventh-century papal reform transformed western European Church and society and permanently altered the relations of Church and State in the west. The reform was inaugurated by Pope Leo IX (1048-54) and given a controversial change of direction by Pope Gregory VII (1073-85). This book contains the earliest biographies of both popes, presented here for the first time in English translation with detailed commentaries. The biographers of Leo IX were inspired by his universally acknowledged sanctity, whereas the biographers of Gregory VII wrote to defend his reputation against the hostility generated by his reforming methods and his conflict with King Henry IV. Also included is a translation of Book to a Friend, written by Bishop Bonizo of Sutri soon after the death of Gregory VII, as well as an extract from the violently anti-Gregorian polemic of Bishop Benzo of Alba (1085) and the short biography of Leo IX composed in the papal curia in the 1090s by Bishop Bruno of Segni. These fascinating narrative sources bear witness to the startling impact of the papal reform and of the 'Investiture Contest', the conflict of empire and papacy that was one of its consequences. An essential collection of translated texts for students of medieval history.

December 1983Der Raritätenladen
Aus dem Englischen von Leo Feld. Mit Holzschnitten von George Cattermole, H.K. Browne, George Cruikshank und Daniel Maclise
by Charles Dickens, Daniel Maclise, George Cattermole, H. K. Browne, George Cruikshank, Leo Feld
Charles Dickens wurde am 7. Februar 1812 in Landport, England als zweites von acht Kindern geboren. Er wuchs in ärmlichen Familienverhältnissen auf und lernte schon früh die Erfahrung von Hunger und Not kennen, als der Vater in Schuldhaft kam. Charles mußte für die Versorgung der Familie aufkommen und arbeitete, wie zahlreiche andere Kinder auch, in einer Lagerhalle und als Hilfsarbeiter in einer Fabrik. Nachdem die widrigsten Zeiten überstanden waren, setzte er mit vierzehn Jahren seinen Schulbesuch fort und arbeitete später als Schreiber bei einem Rechtsanwalt und als Zeitungsjournalist. Mit seiner Skizzensammlung Sketches by Boz (1836) und The Pickwick Papers (1837) hatte Dickens überraschend Erfolg und wurde schnell zu einem der bekanntesten Autoren Englands. Später erlangte er auch große Bekanntheit in den USA. Dickens erste Romane erschienen alle als Fortsetzungsgeschichten in Zeitungen, so auch eines seiner bekanntesten Werke, Oliver Twist (1837). Dickens war Herausgeber der Tageszeitung Daily News und der Zeitschrift Household Words. Neben der Schriftstellerei verdiente er sich sein Geld mit Lese- und Vortragsreisen in England und den USA. A Christmas Carol (1843), gehörte dabei zu seinem festen Leseprogramm. Charles Dickens starb am 9. Juni 1870 in Kent. Leo Feld, geboren 1869 in Augsburg und verstorben 1924 in Florenz, studierte in Wien Philosophie. Bereits während des Studiums war er für verschiedene Wiener Zeitungen tätig. Später machte er sich als Übersetzer und Schriftsteller einen Namen.

June 2001Leo Baeck 1873–1956
Aus dem Stamme von Rabbinern
by Fritz Backhaus, Georg Heuberger
Der reich illustrierte Band, mit vielen bislang unveröffentlichten Bildzeugnissen, würdigt erstmals umfassend das Leben und Wirken Leo Baecks – des Mannes, der zur Symbolfigur des deutschen Judentums im 20. Jahrhundert wurde.Leo Baecks Lebensweg führte vom Kaiserreich über das NS-Regime bis in die Nachkriegszeit. 1933 wurde der Rabbiner zum Präsidenten der neugebildeten »Reichsvertretung der Deutschen Juden« gewählt. In dieser Position stellte er sich den nationalsozialistischen Machthabern trotz wachsender Ohnmacht entgegen und versuchte selbst noch in Theresienstadt den überlebenswillen der Deportierten zu stärken. Von vielen als Lehrer in dunklen Zeiten verehrt, wurde er im Zusammenhang mit der Kritik an der erzwungenen Kooperation jüdischer Repräsentanten mit dem NS-Regime später auch angegriffen. Wissenschaftler aus Deutschland, den USA und Israel gehen in ihren Beiträgen zu Leo Baeck charakteristischen Widersprüchen deutsch-jüdischer Existenz in der Moderne nach: Orthodoxie und Reform, Zionismus und Assimilation, Patriotismus und antisemitische Ausgrenzung, Apologie und Kritik in der christlich-jüdischen Auseinandersetzung – die Persönlichkeit Leo Baecks steht paradigmatisch für ein deutsch-jüdisches Leben im 20. Jahrhundert.

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)2021The Death of Cecil the Lion Made Sense
by Olena Stiazhkina
This is the first novel Olena Styazhkina wrote in Ukrainian, and the theme of embracing Ukrainian identity is central to the plot. It takes place in Donbas over the course of several years: the reader follows the journeys of characters who are, at first, held back by Soviet mentalities. As a result of war, they undergo important changes relating to their understanding of themselves and their country, like the dentist who becomes a military surgeon or the cosmetics saleswoman who becomes a sniper shooting instructor. The characters go through a whirlpool of historical events and are reborn as Ukrainians.

The ArtsDecember 2007J. M. W. Turner
The making of a modern artist
by Sam Smiles, Alan Rutter
Alone of his contemporaries, J.M.W. Turner is commonly held to have prefigured modern painting, as signalled in the existence of The Turner Prize for contemporary art. Our celebration of his achievement is very different to what Victorian critics made of his art. This book shows how Turner was reinvented to become the artist we recognise today. On Turner's death in 1851 he was already known as an adventurous, even baffling, painter. But when the Court of Chancery decreed that the contents of his studio should be given to the nation, another side of his art was revealed that effected a wholescale change in his reputation. This book acts as a guide to the reactions of art writers and curators from the 1850s to the 1960s as they attempted to come to terms with his work. It documents how Turner was interpreted and how his work was displayed in Britain, in Europe and in North America, concentrating on the ways in which his artistic identity was manipulated by art writers, by curators at the Tate and by designers of exhibitions for the British Council and other bodies. ;
