        Order and conflict

        Anthony Ascham and English political thought (1648–50)

        by Peter Lake, Marco Barducci, Anthony Milton, Jason Peacey, Alexandra Gajda

        This book provides a careful and systematic analysis of Anthony Ascham's career and writings for the first time in English. During the crucial period between the Second Civil War and the establishment of the English Republic, when he served as official pamphleteer of the Parliament and the republican government, Ascham put forward a complex argument in support of Parliament's claims for obedience which drew on the political thought of Grotius, Hobbes, Selden, Filmer and Machiavelli. He combined ideas taken from these authors and turned them into a powerful instrument of propaganda to be deployed in the service of the political agenda of his Independent patrons in Parliament. This investigation of Ascham's works brings together an intellectual analysis of his political thought and an exploration of the interaction between politics, propaganda and political ideas.

        The Clockwork Testament or: Enderby's End

        By Anthony Burgess

        by Ákos Farkas, Anthony Burgess

        First published in 1974, this novel is a semi-autobiographical reflection on the author's experience of having been the subject of Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of A Clockwork Orange in 1971. This is the end of Enderby, Anthony Burgess's finest comic creation. Dyspeptic and obese, this is the account of his last day as a visiting professor in New York, and his last day on Earth. The Irwell Edition of The Clockwork Testament will provide new information about the genesis of the novel, gleaned from a series of drafts and typescripts recently discovered in the archive of the International Anthony Burgess Foundation (IABF) in Manchester, as well as printing a deleted chapter for the first time in English.

        Anthony Asquith

        by Tom Ryall, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard

        This is the first comprehensive critical study of Anthony Asquith. Ryall sets the director's work in the context of British cinema from the silent period to the 1960s, examining the artistic and cultural influences which shaped his films. Asquith's silent films were compared favourably to those of his eminent contemporary Alfred Hitchcock, but his career faltered during the 1930s. However, the success of Pygmalion (1938) and French Without Tears (1939), based on plays by George Bernard Shaw and Terence Rattigan, together with his significant contributions to wartime British cinema, re-established him as a leading British film maker. Asquith's post-war career includes several pictures in collaboration with Terence Rattigan, and the definitive adaptation of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest (1951), but his versatility is demonstrated in a number of modest genre films including The Woman in Question (1950), The Young Lovers (1954) and Orders to Kill (1958). ;

        Helicobacter pylori in the 21st Century

        by Steffen Backert, Stefan Bereswill, Tom Blanchard, Pelayo Correa, Richard Ferrero, Kwong-Ming Fock, Sara Lindén, Hoda Malaty, Barry Marshall, Francis Megraud, Anthony P Moran, John Nedrud, Karen Robinson, Maria Kaparakis. Edited by Philip Sutton, Hazel Mitchell.

        Helicobacter pylori is a globally significant pathogen that infects half of the population of the world. Its recognition enabled the development of new therapeutic and preventative strategies for serious health conditions such as gastric cancer, of which it is the major causative agent. Providing a broad overview of the current understanding of this pathogen and emphasising its world health impacts, this book explores a range of topics including virulence factors, vaccine development and obstacles, epidemiology, antibiotic resistance and the role of Nod receptors, with a foreword by Barry Marshall, the Nobel Laureate and co-discoverer of H. pylori. It is an essential resource for researchers, students and medics in infectious and Helicobacter-associated diseases.

        Anthony Burgess and modernity

        by Alan Roughley

        Anthony Burgess and Modernity provides a variety of new perspectives and contexts for exploring Burgess's literature and music. A range of international scholars and critics explore the writer's novels, music and linguistic productions to explore and define how Burgess contributed to modernist and postmodernist art. The scholars who contributed to the book provide original explorations of Burgess's work and the theological, psychological, linguistic, literary and musical contexts in which Burgess's achievements can best be understood. It will appeal to scholars and students, but it also offers an appreciation of Burgess's artistic achievements that will provide general readers of Burgess's work with an insight into some of the exciting contexts in which Burgess novels can be read. ;

        A Vision of Battlements

        by Anthony Burgess

        by Andrew Biswell, Paul Wake

        A Vision of Battlements is the first novel by the writer and composer Anthony Burgess, who was born in Manchester in 1917. Set in Gibraltar during the Second World War, the book follows the fortunes of Richard Ennis, an army sergeant and incipient composer who dreams of composing great music and building a new cultural world after the end of the war. Following the example of his literary hero, James Joyce, Burgess takes the structure of his book from Virgil's Aeneid. The result is, like Joyce's Ulysses, a comic rewriting of a classical epic, whose critique of the Army and the postwar settlement is sharp and assured. The Irwell Edition is the first publication of Burgess's forgotten masterpiece since 1965. This new edition includes an introduction and notes by Andrew Biswell, author of a prize-winning biography of Anthony Burgess.

        ABBA ABBA: By Anthony Burgess

        by Paul Howard, Andrew Biswell

        ABBA ABBA is one of Anthony Burgess's most original works, combining fiction, poetry and translation. A product of his time in Italy in the early 1970s, this delightfully unconventional book is part historical novel, part poetry collection, as well as a meditation on translation and the generating of literature by one of Britain's most inventive post-war authors. Set in Papal Rome in the winter of 1820-21, Part One recreates the consumptive John Keats's final months in the Eternal City and imagines his meeting the Roman dialect poet Giuseppe Gioachino Belli. Pitting Anglo-Italian cultures and sensibilities against each other, Burgess creates a context for his highly original versions of 71 sonnets by Belli, which feature in Part Two. This new edition includes extra material by Burgess, along with an introduction and notes by Paul Howard, Fellow in Italian Literature at Trinity College, Cambridge.

        Die Versuchung des heiligen Antonius

        by Gustave Flaubert, Robert Picht, Barbara Picht, Michel Foucault

        Gustave Flaubert wurde am 12. Dezember 1821 in Rouen als Sohn eines Chirurgen geboren. Bereits im Kindesalter unternahm er erste Schreibversuche. Eine wichtige Inspirationsquelle seiner Kreativität war eine jahrelang unerfüllte Liebe zu einer älteren Frau, Elisa Schlesinger, die er 1836 kennenlernte. Sein Vater drängte ihn 1840 zum Jurastudium, das er 1844 nach einem epileptischen Anfall aber abbrach. Fortan widmete er sein Leben nur noch dem Schreiben. Nach einigen Reisen in den Vorderen Orient, u.a. nach Ägypten, kehrte Flaubert wieder auf den Familiensitz in Croisset nach Rouen zurück, wohin er sich, abgesehen von einem regen Briefwechsel mit seiner Geliebten, der Schriftstellerin Louise Colet, und vereinzelten Reisen nach Paris, in die Isolation zurückzog. Flaubert war ein unverbesserlicher Perfektionist im Umgang mit Sprache und hegte eine jahrelange Zurückhaltung, was eine Veröffentlichung seiner Manuskripte anbelangte. Madame Bovary war der erste Roman Flauberts, er erschien 1856. Der Roman zog unmittelbar einen Prozess wegen Sittenlosigkeit nach sich, Flaubert wurde aber 1857 von den Vorwürfen freigesprochen. Flaubert gilt als einer der großen europäischen Romanciers und gehört neben Stendhal und Balzac zu den großen realistischen Erzählern der französischen Literatur. Flaubert starb am 8. Mai 1880. Paul-Michel Foucault wurde am 15. Oktober 1926 in Poitiers als Sohn einer angesehenen Arztfamilie geboren und starb am 25. Juni 1984 an den Folgen einer HIV-Infektion. Nach seiner Schulzeit in Poitiers studierte er Philosophie und Psychologie in Paris. 1952 begann seine berufliche Laufbahn als Assistent für Psychologie an der geisteswissenschaftlichen Fakultät in Lille. 1955 war er als Lektor an der Universität Uppsala (Schweden) tätig. Nach Direktorenstellen an Instituten in Warschau und Hamburg (1958/1959) kehrte er 1960 nach Frankreich zurück, wo er bis 1966 als Professor für Psychologie und Philosophie an der Universität Clermont-Ferrand arbeitete. In diesem Zeitraum erschien 1961 seine Dissertationsschrift Folie et déraison. Histoire de la folie à l'âge classique (dt.: Wahnsinn und Gesellschaft). Er thematisierte darin die Geschichte des Wahnsinns und das Zustandekommen einer Abgrenzung von geistiger Gesundheit und Krankheit und die damit einhergehenden sozialen Mechanismen. 1965 und 1966 war er Mitglied der Fouchet-Kommission, die von der Regierung für die Reform des (Hoch-)Schulwesens eingesetzt wurde. 1966 wurde Les mots et les choses – Une archéologie des sciences humaines (dt.: Die Ordnung der Dinge) veröffentlicht, worin er mit seiner diskursanalytischen Methode die Wissenschaftsgeschichte von der Renaissance bis ins 19. Jahrhundert untersuchte. Nach einem Auslandsaufenthalt als Gastprofessor in Tunis (1965-1968) war er an der Reform-Universität von Vincennes tätig (1968-1970). 1970 wurde er als Professor für Geschichte der Denksysteme an das renommierte Collège de France berufen. Gleichzeitig machte er durch sein vielfältiges politisches Engagement auf sich aufmerksam. In diesem Kontext entstand die Studie Surveiller et punir (dt.: Überwachen und Strafen). 1975-1982 unternahm er Reisen nach Berkeley und Japan sowie in den Iran und nach Polen.
