History of Art / Art & Design StylesJuly 2015Porous boundaries
Art and essays
by Edited by David Peters Corbett, Cyril Reade
This innovative and exciting volume celebrates the career of Janet Wolff: a highly influential voice in the literature of sociology, cultural studies, visual studies and art history, as well as dance and modernism for several decades. Her work has significantly contributed to the way we view issues as diverse as modernism, the flâneur, British and American art in the early twentieth century, and the gendered literature of modernity. The volume contains contributions from a number of Janet Wolff's collaborators and others who are associated with the fields in which she has worked, including Zygmunt Bauman, Walid Raad and Griselda Pollock. The book includes original artworks, memoir and essays inspired by her example and which deal with questions she has discussed. The book will be of interest to academics and postgraduate students in any of these disciplines, as well as those interested by the form of a transatlantic academic career.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2013The lives of Thomas Becket
by Michael Staunton
This collection tells the story of Thomas Becket's turbulent life, violent death and extraordinary posthumous acclaim in the words of his contemporaries. The only modern collection from the twelfth-century Lives of Thomas Becket in English and features all his major biographers, including many previously untranslated extracts. Providing both a valuable glimpse of the late twelfth-century world, and an insight into the minds of those who witnessed the events. By using contemporary sources, this book is the most accessible way to study this central episode in medieval history. Thomas Becket features prominently in most medieval core courses. This book allows the subject to be taught as never before, and is highly suitable as a set text.

July 1965Stücke nach Stücken
Bearbeitungen 2
by Peter Hacks
Wie für Berthold Brecht ist auch für Peter Hacks die Bearbeitung vorgegebener dramatischer Werke ein wichtiger, selbstständiger Teil seines Schaffens. Nach den Bearbeitungen des aristophanischen »Frieden« und des Lust- und Trauerspiels »Die Kindermörderin« von Heinrich Leopold Wagner (edition suhrkamp Band 47) legt Peter Hacks jetzt den zweiten Band seiner Stücke nach Stücken vor. »Polly«, John Gays Fortsetzung seiner berühmten »Bettleroper«, dient Hacks dazu, aus der Hauptfigur des Stückes eine positive Heldin zu machen: Polly wechselt vom Millieu der Londoner Huren und Straßenräuber in das der Neuen Welt, wo sie nicht nur ihren Ehemann Mackie Messer wiederfindet, sondern unter Pionieren und Piraten, Militärs und Freudenmädchen, Indianern und Betrügern die vertrauten Sitten ihrer Heimat. »Die schöne Helena«, von Offenbach und seinen Librettisten Meilhac und Halévy bereits aus der Homerzeit ins zweite Kaiserreich geholt, um dort Korruption und doppelbödige Moral zu attackieren, wird in der Neufassung von Hacks – einer »Operette für Schauspieler« – zu einem Hohelied der Sinnlichkeit. Das Vergnügen resultiert aus der Geschichte, wie sie vorgeführt wird: Hacks Dialog ist doppelbödig und gespickt mit zeitkritischen Anspielungen, doch verläßt er nie die Stilebene, die er selbst als »Antike der Poesie« bezeichnet.

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2024Thomas Nashe and literary performance
by Chloe Kathleen Preedy, Rachel Willie
As an instigator of debate and a defender of tradition, a man of letters and a popular hack, a writer of erotica and a spokesman for bishops, an urbane metropolitan and a celebrant of local custom, the various textual performances of Thomas Nashe have elicited, and continue to provoke, a range of contradictory reactions. Nashe's often incongruous authorial characteristics suggest that, as a 'King of Pages', he not only courted controversy but also deliberately cultivated a variety of public personae, acquiring a reputation more slippery than the herrings he celebrated in print. Collectively, the essays in this book illustrate how Nashe excelled at textual performance but his personae became a contested site as readers actively participated and engaged in the reception of Nashe's public image and his works.
