Literature & Literary StudiesAugust 2021The Massacre at Paris
By Christopher Marlowe
by Martin White, Mathew R. Martin
This volume presents a modernised edition of Christopher Marlowe's critical engagement with one of the bloodiest and traumatic episodes of the French Wars of Religion, the wholesale massacre of French Huguenots in Paris in August, 1572. Sensorily shocking and intellectually gripping, the play's dramatic action spans a tumultuous two decades in French history to unfold for its audience the tragic consequences of religious fanaticism, power politics, and dynastic rivalry. Comprehensively introduced and containing full commentary notes, this edition opens up this frequently neglected but historically significant and dramatically powerful play to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the history of the massacre, the play's treatment of its sources, the play's dramatisation of trauma, and the play's exploration of notions of religious toleration.

March 2012Unter den Linden
by Christa Wolf
„Unter den Linden bin ich immer gerne gegangen. Am liebsten, du weißt es, allein. Neulich, nachdem ich sie lange gemieden hatte, ist mir die Straße im Traum erschienen. Nun kann ich endlich davon berichten.“ In Christa Wolfs großer Erzählung führt der Gang über Berlins Prachtstraße eine Frau durch die eigene Erinnerung – an eine leidenschaftliche Liebe und den Kampf darum, sich nicht selbst zu verlieren. Der Maler Harald Metzkes stellt der Erzählung neue, eigens für die vorliegende Ausgabe geschaffene Aquarelle zur Seite. Das Werk von Christa Wolf wurde mit zahlreichen Preisen ausgezeichnet, u. a. dem Georg-Büchner-Preis und dem Thomas-Mann-Preis. Zuletzt erschien der große autobiographische Roman »Stadt der Engel oder The Overcoat of Dr. Freud« (2010).

September 1999Ich war einmal
Roman
by Arnold Stadler
»›Es ist schön, diese Gegend zu verlassen‹, meint der Erzähler am Ende. Die ›Gegend‹, das ist das Land zwischen Meßkirch und Rast, zwischen der Stadt, die so berühmte Kinder wie den Philosophen Heidegger und das Bravo-Girl des Jahres 1971 die Ihren nennen darf, und dem Dorf, aus dem der Erzähler einst aufs Gymnasium nach Meßkirch geschickt wurde. Es ist ein Landstrich ohne Namen: ›Die Geographen sagen: oberes Ablachtal. Sie sind nicht ›hier‹ gewesen. Sie verteilen ihre Namen von der Karte aus. Die Bewohner von ›hier‹ wissen nicht, wo das obere Ablachtal ist.‹ Die wahren Namen der Gegend lauten Haarschneider Jakob, Pfarrer Haselmeier, Sauschneider Naze, Fräulein Hermle – und immer wieder Heidegger, wobei der Martin, von dem die Leute sagen, daß er ›irrsinnig g’scheit und unheimlich berühmt‹ war, nur einer von etlichen ist, die genauere Erwähnung finden. Zu ihnen, den Menschen zwischen Meßkirch und Rast, gehört auch Arnold Stadler, der mit dem Roman seiner Kindheit zugleich eine andere Art von oberschwäbischer Heimatkunde verfaßt hat.« »Karl-Markus Gauß, Neue Zürcher Zeitung«

The politics of male friendship in contemporary American fiction
by Michael Kalisch
How might our friendships shape our politics? This book examines how contemporary American fiction has rediscovered the concept of civic friendship and revived a long tradition of imagining male friendship as interlinked with the promises and paradoxes of democracy in the United States. Bringing into dialogue the work of a wide range of authors - including Philip Roth, Paul Auster, Michael Chabon, Jonathan Lethem, Dinaw Mengestu, and Teju Cole - this innovative study advances a compelling new account of the political and intellectual fabric of the American novel today.

March 2021Columbus, the Discarded Explorer
Disaster of the legendary sailor
by Wolfgang Wissler
There he stands, the man the whole of Spain cheered, before whom the most catholic regents Isabella and Ferdinand rose to their feet, his eyes on his ship Capitana, devoured by shipworm, stranded off Jamaica. Some of the crew mutiny, the locals can no longer be fobbed off with glass beads, the Spanish on the nearby island of Hispaniola do not help, the world doesn‘t want anything to do with him, the demanding whinger. He, Christopher Columbus, is a John Lackland, a king without land, a conqueror without conquest. Between fiction and historical truth, Wolfgang Wissler recounts the legendary sailor‘s last expedition in an entirely new way – and what a story it is!

by Ferruccio Busoni, Arnold Schönberg, Hans Heinz Stuckenschmidt
Busoni hat diesen »Entwurf«, der »dem Musiker in Worten Rainer Maria Rilke verehrungsvoll und freundschaftlich dargeboten« ist, 1906 aufgezeichnet. Es sind die kühnen Notizen eines Kreativen Künstlers, der als virtuoser Pianist, eigenwilliger Komponist und als Dirigent moderner Musik gleichermaßen berühmt geworden ist. Mit dieser Ausgabe, die Anmerkungen von Arnold Schönberg enthält, wird eine Periode der Musikgeschichte direkt einsehbar. »Der »Entwurf« ist ein Stück echter Utopie. Er hat in Kürze, mit der die Vision einer vollkommeneren Musik hingezeichnet ist, seinesgleichen nicht.« »H. H. Stuckenschmidt«
