Die Elf

by Pierre Michon, Eva Moldenhauer

Pierre Michon ist einer der bedeutendsten französischen Gegenwartsschriftsteller. Im Mittelpunkt seiner neuen Erzählung »Die Elf«, einer meisterhaft vertrackten historischer Novelle, steht das berühmteste Gemälde der Französischen Revolution, das im Louvre hinter Panzerglas hängt und elf Direktoriumsmitglieder im Jahr II der Schreckensherrschaft porträtiert. Michon erzählt von dem Maler und dessen Familiengeschichte, von den elf Porträtierten und davon, wie und warum der Künstler den Auftrag zu diesem Bild erhielt - evozierend, akribisch, mit essayistischen Bemerkungen und Ausführungen. Dieses besondere Bild, »Die Elf«, schreibt Michon, bilde Geschichte nicht ab, sondern »sei« Geschichte, ihr Schrecken. Seine ebenso knappe wie virtuose Erzählung baut eine ganz eigene Spannung auf und hält sie, bis zum überraschenden Schluß.

Court and civic society in the Burgundian Low Countries c.1420–1530

by Andrew Brown, Graeme Small

This volume is the first ever attempt to unite and translate some of the key texts which informed Johan Huizinga's famous study of the Burgundian court, The Waning of the Middle Ages, a work which has never gone out of print. It combines these texts with sources that Huizinga did not consider, those that illuminate the wider civic world that the Burgundian court inhabited and the dynamic interaction between court and city. Through these sources, and an introduction offering new perspectives on recent historiography, the book tests whether Huizinga's controversial vision of the period still stands. Covering subjects including ceremonial events, such as the spectacles and gargantuan banquets that made the Burgundian dukes the talk of Europe, the workings of the court, and jousting, archery and rhetoric competitions, the book will appeal to students of late medieval and early modern Europe and to those with wider interests in court culture, ritual and ceremony.

Passing into the present

Contemporary American fiction of racial and gender passing

by Sinead Moynihan

This book is the first full-length study of contemporary American fiction of passing. Its takes as its point of departure the return of racial and gender passing in the 1990s in order to make claims about wider trends in contemporary American fiction. The book accounts for the return of tropes of passing in fiction by Phillip Roth, Percival Everett, Louise Erdrich, Danzy Senna, Jeffrey Eugenides and Paul Beatty, by arguing meta-critical and meta-fictional tool. These writers are attracted to the trope of passing because passing narratives have always foregrounded the notion of textuality in relation to the (il)legibility of "black" subjects passing as white. The central argument of this book, then, is that contemporary narratives of passing are concerned with articulating and unpacking an analogy between passing and authorship. The title promises to inaugurate dialogue on the relationships between passing, postmodernism and authorship in contemporary American fiction.
