Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2024The Legacy of John Polidori
The Romantic Vampire and its Progeny
by Sam George, Bill Hughes
John Polidori's novella The Vampyre (1819) is perhaps 'the most influential horror story of all time' (Frayling). Polidori's story transformed the shambling, mindless monster of folklore into a sophisticated, seductive aristocrat that stalked London society rather than being confined to the hinterlands of Eastern Europe. Polidori's Lord Ruthven was thus the ancestor of the vampire as we know it. This collection explores the genesis of Polidori's vampire. It then tracks his bloodsucking progeny across the centuries and maps his disquieting legacy. Texts discussed range from the Romantic period, including the fascinating and little-known The Black Vampyre (1819), through the melodramatic vampire theatricals in the 1820s, to contemporary vampire film, paranormal romance, and science fiction. They emphasise the background of colonial revolution and racial oppression in the early nineteenth century and the cultural shifts of postmodernity.

March 2021Der Baum und der Vogel
by Coralie Bickford-Smith, Stefanie Jacobs
Der kleine Vogel liebt den großen Baum mitten im Urwald, dessen dichtes Laub ihm Schutz bietet. Er kennt nichts anderes und fühlt sich im Baum zu Hause. Als die Regenzeit bevorsteht und der Vogelschwarm in andere Gefilde aufbricht, möchte er den Baum noch nicht verlassen und bleibt noch ein Weilchen. Wilde, exotische Tiere nehmen die Äste und Zweige nun in Besitz, dem kleinen Vogel eröffnet sich eine ganz neue Welt. Doch schließlich muss er erkennen, dass die Zeit für ihn gekommen ist, aufzubrechen. Eine fulminant bebilderte Geschichte darüber, seine Bestimmung im Leben zu erkennen – bunt, exotisch und voller Poesie.

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2018David and Bathsheba
By George Peele
by Mathew R. Martin, David Bevington
David and Bathsheba presents a modernised edition of George Peele's explosive biblical drama about the tangled lives, deadly liaisons, and twisted histories of Ancient Israel's royal family. Martin's critical edition is the first modern single-volume edition of the play since 1912 and opens up this unduly neglected gem of English Renaissance drama to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the play's treatment of its biblical and poetic sources, its engagement with Elizabethan politics, and its forceful representations of religious fanaticism, genocide, and sexual violence. Its commentary notes clarify the text's meaning and staging, guide the reader through the play's dramatisation of the turbulent Davidic period of Ancient Israel's history, and place the play in its broader cultural and artistic milieu. Martin's edition aims to encourage new contemporary critical study of Peele's powerful and disturbing drama.

June 2012Reise zum Vogel Simurgh
Roman
by Juan Goytisolo, Thomas Brovot
»… heiter, beschwingt, bereit, in die Höhe zu fliegen, feinstofflich, farblos, vollkommen, versank ich in der Betrachtung der Eigenschaften des einsamen Vogels…« »Reise zum Vogel Simurgh« ist Goytisolos Schlüsselwerk – der Roman, in dem der große Einzelne seine Lebensthemen Sexus, Politik und Mystik auf radikal literarische Weise zusammenführt. Geschlechtlichkeit ist für den bekennenden Außenseiter eine Art Subversion per se: Bestandteil einer Entgrenzungserfahrung, in der sich Eros und Heiliges durchdringen. Die politische Sphäre hat der Emigrant und unermüdliche Kritiker geschlossener Systeme von jeher auf die in ihr angelegten Ausgrenzungen befragt. Sufidichtung und spanische Mystik schließlich, in der prägnanten Ausformung des Juan de la Cruz, waren es, die ihn in seiner tiefsten existentiellen Krise aus Angst und Enge geführt haben. Raffend, in träumerischer Plötzlichkeit des Wechsels, nimmt uns der Roman zu Räumen der Inquisition und der Repression ebenso mit wie zu Bordellszenen, ideologischen Familienfeiern, dem heimlich-peinlichen Wirken des Zensors – in immer neuen Bildern gräbt Goytisolo sich in jenes Dunkelgebiet von gesellschaftlicher Unterdrückung und radikalindividuellem Ausbruch. Indem der vielgestaltige Erzähler des Romans sich dem geistigen Abenteuer des Sufismus und der Mystik hingibt, gelangt er – jenseits der »dunklen Nacht der Seele« – vom verlorenen Paradies bis hin zum wiedergefundenen Garten Eden. Juan Goytisolo hat nie ein indifferentes Buch geschrieben. Am wenigsten ist es dieses.

2019When a Virus Defeated Napoleon
How nature makes history
by Sebastian Jutzi
Humans write history, but nature and coincidence often play a significant part in making history. The weather, volcanoes, celestial bodies, pathogens: all of them can influence historical events. In 413 BC, a lunar eclipse contributed to the defeat of the Athenians by Syracuse. In 1802, Napoleon’s soldiers on Saint-Domingue, the Haiti of today, were carried off in their thousands by yellow fever; the slave revolt that the troops had been sent to suppress succeeded, and the island declared itself independent in 1804. Nature not only makes history, it can also contribute to the understanding of history. For example, the route that the Carthaginians took over the Alps was only revealed recently by the discovery of ancient manure – not too surprising since Hannibal was accompanied by an estimated 10,000 horses. Sebastian Jutzi relates these and many other (hi)stories in a knowledgeable, entertaining and informative way – a treasure trove for anyone who wants to get to know history from an “unusual” perspective.

The ArtsOctober 20174 saints in 3 acts
A snapshot of the American avant-garde in the 1930s
by Patricia Allmer, John Sears
Four Saints in Three Acts by Gertrude Stein and Virgil Thomson was a major avant-garde phenomenon of the 1930s, an experimental opera that nonetheless achieved remarkable popular success. Photography was a key element of that success, but its complex roles in the construction, representation and dissemination of the opera have hitherto received little critical attention. The photographic recording of the all-African American cast in particular affords a unique insight into the complexities of Four Saints in relation to the Harlem Renaissance and the New York avant-gardes of the time. This book, published in collaboration with The Photographers' Gallery, London, presents a wide selection of photographs of the cast, performances, and other material - many images reproduced for the first time - alongside essays by an international range of scholars exploring different aspects of the opera, including dance, fashion, music, and avant-garde writing, as well as photography.
