        Hyde Park

        by James Shirley

        by Helen Ostovich, Eugene Giddens

        Hyde Park (1632) is one of the best-loved comedies of James Shirley, considered to be one of the most important Caroline dramatists. The play showcases strong female characters who excel at rebuking the outlandish courtship of various suitors. Shirley's comic setting, London's Hyde Park, offers ample opportunity for witty dialogue and sport - including foot and horse races - across three love plots. This is the first critical edition of the play, including a wide-ranging introduction and extensive commentary and textual notes. Paying special attention to the culture of Caroline London and its stage, the Revels Plays edition unpicks Shirley's politics of courtship and consent while also underlining the play's dynamics of class and power. A detailed performance history traces productions from 1632, across the Restoration to the present day, including that of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1987. A textual history of the play's first quarto determines how it was printed and what relationship Hyde Park has to other texts by Shirley from the same publishers.

        Der letzte Mohikaner. Der Lederstrumpf. Zweiter Band

        In der Bearbeitung der Übersetzung von C. Kolb u.a. durch Rudolf Drescher. Mit Illustrationen von O.C. Darley. Vollständige Ausgabe. 5 Bände. Mit einer Nachbemerkung von Peter Härtling

        by James Fenimore Cooper, D.E. Darley, E. Kolb

        James Fenimore Cooper wurde am 15. September 1789 in Burlington, New Jersey / USA geboren. Nach seiner Geburt gründete sein Vater die Stadt Cooperstown, wo die Familie fortan lebte. 1802 begann Cooper ein Studium an der Universität Yale, der er jedoch drei Jahre später verwiesen wurde. Nach einigen Jahren als Offizier bei der Handels- und Kriegsmarine lebte er mit seiner Familie in Cooperstown, Westchester, Long Island und in New York. Sein erster Roman Precaution (1820) war ein Mißerfolg, doch schon der Nachfolger The Spy (1821) war der Beginn einer erfolgreichen, internationalen Karriere. Heute ist er vor allem durch seine Lederstrumpf-Romane bekannt. Nach einer dreijährigen Europareise ließ er sich ab 1833 endgültig in Cooperstown nieder. Er begann sich kritisch mit Gesellschaftsverhältnissen auseinanderzusetzen, was Ablehnung und Anfeindungen nach sich zog. Mit dem 1840 veröffentlichten The Pathfinder konnte er jedoch wieder an seine früheren Erfolge anknüpfen. Er starb am 14. September 1851 in Cooperstown.

        Securitising Russia

        The domestic politics of Vladimir Putin

        by Bettina Renz, Edwin Bacon, Julian Cooper

        Securitising Russia shows the impact of twenty-first-century security concerns on the way Russia is ruled. It demonstrates how President Putin has wrestled with terrorism, immigration, media freedom, religious pluralism, and economic globalism, and argues that fears of a return to old-style authoritarianism oversimplify the complex context of contemporary Russia. The book focuses on the internal security issues common to many states in the early twenty-first-century, and places them in the particular context of Russia. Detailed analysis of the place of security in Russia's political discourse and policy-making reveals nuances often missing from overarching assessments of Russia today. To characterise the Putin regime as the 'KGB-resurgent' is to miss vital continuities, contexts, and on-going political conflicts which make up the contemporary Russian scene. Securitising Russia draws together current debates about whether Russia is a 'normal' country developing its own democratic and market structures, or a nascent authoritarian regime returning to the past. ;
