The Duchess of Malfi

By John Webster

by John Brown, David Bevington, John Brown, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich

More widely studied and more frequently performed than ever before, John Webster's The Duchess of Malfi is here presented in an improved, accessible and throughly up-to-date edition. Starting with the authoritative Revels Plays edition of 1964, John Russell Brown has augmented the notes and collations, and casts new light on Webster's dramatic dialogue and on the stage action. An entirely new introduction encompasses a stage history from its well-documented early performances right through to recent productions in the twenty first century. The bibliography has also been expanded. Students, actors, directors, academics and theatre-goers will find here a reappraisal of Webster's artistry in the greatest age of English theatre. ;

The Duchess of Malfi

By John Webster (Revels Student Editions)

by John Brown

More widely studied and more frequently performed than ever before, John Webster's The Duchesss of Malfi is here presented in an accessible and thoroughly up-to-date edition. Based on the often reprinted Revels Plays Edition of 1964, the notes have been augmented to cast further light on Webster's amazing dialogue and on the stage action which it implies. An entirely new introduction sets the tragedy in the context of pre-Civil War England and gives a revealing view of its themes, action and visual imagery. From its well-documented early performances to the two productions seen in the West End of London in the 1995-96 season, a stage history gives an account of the play in performance. Students, actors, directors and theatre-goers will find here a reappraisal of Webster's artistry in the tragedy which stands in the very first rank of plays from perhaps the greatest age of English theatre, and reasons why it has lived on stage with renewed force in the last decades of the twentieth century. ;

Der Klang der Erinnerung

Roman | Coming-of-Age-Geschichte über die Kraft der Musik und der Freundschaft

by Jo Browning Wroe

Birmingham, 1966: William feiert gerade seinen Abschluss als Einbalsamierer, als ihn die Nachricht erreicht, dass im walisischen Aberfan ein Haldenrutsch unzählige Menschen unter sich begraben hat und freiwillige Helfer gesucht werden. Er macht sich umgehend auf den Weg, und während er gemeinsam mit den Bestattern vor Ort arbeitet, ruft ein Musikstück im Radio schmerzhafte Erinnerungen in ihm wach: Erinnerungen an seine Zeit als Chorknabe in Cambridge, die er versucht hatte, zu vergessen. Damals hatte er nur einen Wunsch gehabt: das berühmte Solo in Allegris Miserere zu singen, das in ihm schon als kleines Kind die Liebe zur Musik entfacht hatte. Doch an dem großen Tag kommt es zu einem tiefen Zerwürfnis mit seiner Mutter und einer Entscheidung, die seinen weiteren Weg bestimmen wird.Als er nun aus Aberfan nach Birmingham zurückkehrt, mit Bildern im Kopf, die ihn sein Leben lang nicht loslassen werden, ist er bereit, sich seiner Vergangenheit zu stellen und sich mit seiner Mutter, mit der ihn einst eine liebevolle Beziehung verband, zu versöhnen. Ein bewegender Coming-of-Age-Roman über die fragilen Bande, die uns mit geliebten Menschen verbinden – darüber, dass es möglich ist, die Vergangenheit und die eigene Schuld zu überwinden und Vergebung und Trost zu finden.

Agribusiness Reforms in China

The Case of Wool

by John W Longworth, Colin G Brown

China is emerging as an agribusiness giant. Domestic reforms and the readmission of China to GATT will integrate rapidly the massive Chinese agribusiness sector into international markets. China has already become a dominant player in world wool markets. Developments in relation to wool, therefore, are a harbinger of what is likely to happen in regard to many other agribusiness commodities. This book, published in collaboration with the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR), provides a detailed analysis of how the Chinese are reforming their wool marketing system. Wool is grown mainly by people of minority nationalities who are among the poorest in China and who live in the environmentally fragile pastoral region. As a result, wool markets have an impact on social, environmental and developmental issues as well as being of major relevance to China’s strategic and trade interests. This book, therefore, is concerned with many of the most difficult issues confronting Chinese society and its interaction with the world community. By examining these aspects of contemporary China through the case of wool, the authors provide first hand insights into the detailed impact of the economic reform process on particular social groups and institutions. Most of the earlier literature on economic reforms in China has concentrated on general economic reforms and sector-wide or industry-wide effects.

Empire and enterprise

Money, power and the Adventurers for Irish land during the British Civil Wars

by David Brown

This book is about the transformation of England's trade and government finances in the mid-seventeenth century, a revolution that destroyed Ireland. In 1642 a small group of merchants, the 'Adventurers for Irish land', raised an army to conquer Ireland but sent it instead to fight for parliament in England. Meeting secretly at Grocers Hall in London from 1642 to 1660, they laid the foundations of England's empire and modern fiscal state. But a dispute over their Irish land entitlements led them to reject Cromwell's Protectorate and plot to restore the monarchy. This is the first book to chart the relentless rise of the Adventurers and their profound political influence. It is essential reading for students of Britain and Ireland in the mid-seventeenth century, the origins of England's empire and the Cromwellian land settlement.

The European Union, counter terrorism and police co–operation, 1991–2007

Unsteady foundations?

by David Brown

This volume examines the underlying foundations on which the European Union's counter-terrorism and police co-operation policies have been built since the inception of the Treaty on European Union, questioning both the effectiveness and legitimacy of the EU's efforts in these two critically important security areas. Given the importance of such developments to the wider credibility of the EU as a security actor, this volume adopts a more structured analysis of key stages of the implementation process. These include the establishment of objectives, both at the wider level of internal security co-operation and in terms of both counter-terrorism and policing, particularly in relation to the European Police Office, the nature of information exchange and the 'value added' by legislative and operational developments at the European level. It also offers a more accurate appraisal of the official characterisation of the terrorist threat within the EU as a 'matter of common concern'. In doing so, not only does it raise important questions about the utility of the European level for organising internal security co-operation, but it also provides a more comprehensive assessment of the EU's activities throughout the lifetime of the Third Pillar, placing in a wider and more realistic context the EU's reaction to the events of 11 September 2001 and the greater prominence of Islamist terrorism. ;

Human Rights and the Borders of Suffering

The Promotion of Human Rights in International Politics

by Anne Brown

This book, newly available in paperback, argues for greater openness in the ways we approach human rights and international rights promotion, and in so doing brings some new understanding to old debates. Starting with the realities of abuse rather than the liberal architecture of rights, it casts human rights as a language for probing the political dimensions of suffering. Seen in this context, the predominant Western models of rights generate a substantial but also problematic and not always emancipatory array of practices. These models are far from answering the questions about the nature of political community that are raised by the systemic infliction of suffering. Rather than a simple message from 'us' to 'them', then, rights promotion is a long and difficult conversation about the relationship between political organisations and suffering. Three case studies are explored - the Tiananmen Square massacre, East Timor's violent modern history and the circumstances of indigenous Australians. The purpose of these discussions is not to elaborate on a new theory of rights, but to work towards rights practices that are more responsive to the spectrum of injury that we inflict and endure. The book is a valuable and innovative contribution to rights debates for students of international politics, political theory, and conflict resolution, as well as for those engaged in the pursuit of human rights.
