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 2023Überwältigende Blüten
by Rosie Sanders, Andreas Honegger
Die Engländerin Rosie Sanders denkt anders, sieht anders und malt anders als alle anderen Blumenmaler und -malerinnen. Sie ist eine Meisterin der Proportionen und des Lichts. In ihren Bildern fängt sie jene Momente des Wandels ein und zeigt, dass diese ihren ganz eigenen Reiz haben, der gerade nicht in der vermeintlich vollkommenen Schönheit liegt: »Jedes Bild was ich beginne, verlangt eine neue Sprache. Jedes Mal fühlt es sich fremd an, als ob dieses das erste Bild wäre, was ich jemals gemalt hätte.«Rosie Sanders malt Tulpen, Iris, Anemonen, Amaryllis, Rosen, Orchideen oder Gladiolen von gigantischer Größe auf die Leinwand. Im Gegenlicht erscheinen diese so transparent, als wären sie aus Japanpapier. Ihre Bilder sind modern, kraftvoll, mitunter erotisch und von einer Präzision, die keine Fotografie bieten kann.

Literature & Literary StudiesDecember 1999Volpone, or The Fox
Ben Johnson
by David Bevington, Brian Parker, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich
This is the most thoroughly investigated edition of Volpone to date, based on a wider collation of the 1607 quarto and 1616 folio versions than was previously possible. It calls into question several accepted textual conclusions. The introduction sets Volpone in the context of Jonson's career at the time of writing and introduces new material on its relation to the Reynard beast epic and the commedia dell' arte. Ambiguities in the play are discussed with reference to two Renaissance perversions of the myth of the Golden Age. Particular attention is paid to the rhythmic effects of the play in performance, especially interweavings of the main plot and subplot. Fresh suggestions are made about the play's opening and its controversial conclusion in the light of experiments that have been made in performance since Volpone 's stage revival in 1921. The modernized text is accompanied by full commentary, notes and illustrations. The appendices include a discussion by John Cutts of the original music, passages translated from the original sources and analogues, and a full record of the play's modern stage history, its many adaptations, and its transformations into opera, musical comedy, film and television. ;

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2013A Trick to Catch the Old One
By Thomas Middleton
by David Bevington, Paul Mulholland, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich
This is the first single volume edition of A Trick to Catch the Old One for many decades. This edition presents a thoroughly reconsidered text based on collation of all known copies of the 1608 quarto (including material unnoticed by earlier editors). Textual analysis draws on detailed internal investigation and the printer's wider practice to propose that relatively improvisational procedures and a paper quota governed A Trick's printing operations. Discovery of an overlooked record revises the date of court performance to 1 January 1607, with implications for the play's early history. Critical discussion freshly examines the play's multi-layered ironic texture in relation to such issues as the status of women, marriage's relation to prostitution and vice versa, and the contemporary marriage market. And the Courtesan receives special attention in the context of this overarching ironic scheme. An extensive stage history explores original staging and documents revivals to 2011. The commentary is the most wide-ranging and comprehensive of all modern editions. ;
