        Shakespeare's borrowed feathers

        How early modern playwrights shaped the world's greatest writer

        by Darren Freebury-Jones

        A fascinating book exploring the early modern authors who helped to shape Shakespeare's beloved plays. Shakespeare's plays have influenced generations of writers, but who were the early modern playwrights who influenced him? Shakespeare's borrowed feathers offers a fresh look at William Shakespeare and the community of playwrights that shaped his work. This compelling book argues that we need to see early modern drama as a communal enterprise, with playwrights borrowing from and adapting one another's work. From John Lyly's wit to the collaborative genius of John Fletcher, to Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson, Shakespeare's borrowed feathers offers fresh insights into Shakespeare's artistic development and shows us new ways of looking at the masterpieces that have enchanted audiences for centuries.

        »Ich sehne mich sehr nach Deinen blauen Briefen«

        Briefwechsel

        by Rainer Maria Rilke, Claire Goll, Barbara Glauert-Hesse, Barbara Wiedemann, Barbara Glauert-Hesse

        Schön, wenn einmal so ein Herz über einem aufgeht, gar nicht erst in seinem ersten Viertel, gleich wie der ganze Mond in seiner vollkommensten Nacht ...«, schrieb Rilke später über seine erste Begegnung mit Claire Goll.Claires und Rilkes Korrespondenz beginnt 1918 und zeigt trotz ihrer Verhaltenheit, daß den 43jährigen und die 28jährige bald eine innige Freundschaft und mehr verbindet. Sie tauschen sich über ihre Werke aus, spenden einander Trost und schreiben sich mit leidenschaftlicher Sehnsucht. Der vorliegende Band enthält außerdem sieben französischsprachige Gedichte, die Rilke als kleines handgebundenes Buch an Claire gesandt hatte, sowie das lange unveröffentlicht gebliebene und verschollen geglaubte Manuskript Gefühle. Verse von Claire Studer, das sich im Archiv des Insel Verlages, Leipzig, wiederfand.

        Art: Financial Aspects

        The rise of the modern art market in London

        1850–1939

        by Edited by Pamela Fletcher and Anne Helmreich

        Now available in paperback for the first time, this study of the modern London art market establishes the central importance of London for the development of the modern retail market in fine art. Leading experts track the emergence and development of the structures and practices that have come to characterize the commercial art system, including the commercial art gallery, the professional dealer, the exhibition cycle and its accompanying rhetoric of press coverage and publicity, and an international network for the circulation of goods. This new commercial system involved a massive transformation of the experience of viewing art; of the relationships between artists, dealers, collectors, art objects and audiences; and of the very criteria of aesthetic value itself. Its history is thus a vital part of the history of modern art, and this anthology will be of interest to art historians as well as scholars of Victorian Studies, Museum Studies, and Social History.

        Ethics, law and nursing

        by Nina Fletcher

        An introduction to the ethical and legal dilemmas in nursing practice, this text is designed to provoke the nurse to reflect on the nature of his or her professional obligations and future practice. The authors firstly familiarise the reader with the basic principles of ethical debate and the overall structure of the legal system as it effects nurses. They then address the fundamental dilemmas of nursing practice, such as whether or not paternalism can ever be justified, if patients have the right to die, and what a nurse's response should be to poor professional practice by colleagues. The book aims to enhance the reader's understanding of the issues, and to educate nurses to develop their own skills of reasoning and judgement. ;

        Das Geheimnis von Shadowbrook

        by Susan Fletcher

        Die junge Botanikerin Clara Waterfield wird 1914 aus London auf ein Anwesen nach Gloucestershire gerufen, um dort ein Palmenhaus einzurichten. Sie findet einen üppigen, verwunschenen Garten vor – doch das clematisbewachsene Haus wirkt seltsam abweisend, die meisten Räume sind verschlossen und der Besitzer, Mr. Fox, ist nur selten anzutreffen –, und nachts scheint es zu spuken. Doch Clara macht sich unerschrocken daran, die Geheimnisse von Shadowbrooks zu ergründen und macht dabei eine ungeheuerliche Entdeckung, die ihr weiteres Leben verändern wird … Ein fesselnder Roman um eine mutige Frau, die ihrer Zeit weit voraus ist. Ein atmosphärischer, bildreicher Pageturner am Vorabend des Ersten Weltkriegs – aber auch ein Roman über das, was von uns bleibt.

        The Maid's Tragedy

        Beaumont and Fletcher

        by David Bevington, T. W. Craik, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich

        Generally acknowledged to be the most powerful of Beaumont and Fletcher's plays and frequently performed by the best actors of the seventeenth and early eighteenth century, The Maid's Tragedy (1610-11) disappeared from the stage (except in a much-altered and very successful Victorian adaptation) until recent years, when major companies have rediscovered its appeal. In this fully annotated edition, the editor has given careful attention to the sense of the lines, the stage action and the verse. Many new emendations of textual errors, as well as improvements in stage directions and lineation, are either introduced or proposed. The introduction explores Beaumont and Fletcher's use of the three known sources (two of them previously neglected) for incidents in the play, gives the fullest available account of its stage history, and provides a sympathetic interpretation of the play as a romantic tragedy. ;

        Thierry and Theodoret

        John Fletcher, Philip Massinger and Nathan Field

        by Domenico Lovascio

        Enthusiastically praised by Charles Lamb and A. C. Swinburne but unjustly neglected since the early twentieth century, Thierry and Theodoret dramatizes events from medieval French history. With its disenchanted depiction of royalty, its eerie instability in terms of genre, and its black comic overtones, Thierry and Theodoret strikes as a distinctive specimen of tragic drama in the Jacobean mould and ranks as one of the most powerful plays in the canon of John Fletcher and his collaborators. This Revels Plays volume is the first fully annotated critical edition of the play, and the first to attribute it to Nathan Field alongside Fletcher and Philip Massinger. It provides a thorough introduction reassessing the play's engagement with its sources - including Shakespeare - and discusses the dating, authorship, and reception of this bizarrely captivating play, pointing the way for future scholarship, especially of a historical or gender-based nature.
