Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2021Passing 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.

Childhood encounters with history in British culture, 1750–1914
by Rachel Bryant Davies, Barbara Gribling
This collection brings together scholars from disciplines including Children's Literature, Classics, and History to develop fresh approaches to children's culture and the uses of the past. It charts the significance of historical episodes and characters during the long nineteenth-century (1750-1914), a critical period in children's culture. Boys and girls across social classes often experienced different pasts simultaneously, for purposes of amusement and instruction. The book highlights an active and shifting market in history for children, and reveals how children were actively involved in consuming and repackaging the past: from playing with historically themed toys and games to performing in plays and pageants. Each chapter reconstructs encounters across different media, uncovering the cultural work done by particular pasts and exposing the key role of playfulness in the British historical imagination.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017
The imperial game
by Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie
This anthology examines the fortunes of cricket in various colonies as the sport spread across the British Empire. It helps to explain why cricket was so successful, even in places like India, Pakistan and the West Indies where the Anglo-Saxon element remained in a small minority. It demonstrates, perhaps better than any other single work, how awesome was the power of cultural imperialism. Even when former subjects threw off the political yoke of the Europeans, they still adhered tenaciously to the sporting and recreational models that the imperialists had introduced. 'The Imperial Game' provides an invaluable insight into how cricket developed powerful social, cultural and even political connotations in a colonial environment. This is a fascinating study of cricket as a cultural phenomenon, and traces its changing meaning in all the continents in which Britain once exercised power. The book is a collection of essays by six of the world's leading scholars in the field of sports history, and will be of value not onle to students examining the historical sociology of sport, but also to those with a general interest in social history. This study will also appeal to cricket enthusiasts the world over.

Temor y valor en seis días:
by Yehuda Reves
Temor y valor en seis días: El testimonio de un soldado isarelí en perspectiva por Yehuda Reves A través del visor de un bazuca, este libro ofrece una visión crítica de temor, valor y orgullo, muerte y amor, amistad y odio, realidad y sueños místicos, de la fe y de lo laico, así como del final y el comienzo. Se trata de una colección de manuscritos, relatos y pensamientos escritos de manera intermitente durante un período de más de cuarenta años en el diario de un combatiente, durante las batallas de la Guerra de los Seis Días y tras ellas. Aquí se pinta una amarga y cruel realidad: cómo soldados matan, son heridos y mueren en el campo de batalla. Aquí se describen hechos entremezclados con imaginación y sueños. Se trata de una descripción que ejemplifica la índole de la sociedad masculina en el ejército israelí, con su combinación de ingenio, tosquedad e inocencia. Este libro fue escrito en el frente de batalla en el norte de Samaria y en el norte de los Altos del Golán. El autor sirvió en el cuerpo de blindados, como comandante de una compañía formada por seis vehículos. Todos estos manuscritos estaban atascados como balas en el cañón de un arma desde el fin de la guerra antes de que estuvieran listos para su recopilación en un volumen que incluye ahora las vivencias y la perspectiva de otro período de más de cuarenta años. Yehuda Reves es un silvicultor que durante toda su vida ha observado a personas, árboles, arbustos, el suelo y rocas inanimadas con un asombro inalterado. Ha tenido a su cargo la recolección de semillas y la propagación y plantación de árboles por cuenta del Departamento de Silvicultura de Israel. Hoy día viaja y se ocupa de la reproducción de plantas silvestres del Mediterráneo. El autor sirvió durante 32 años como oficial subalterno de reserva en el ejército israelí y participó en cuatro guerras. Está casado y tiene dos hijas y nueve nietos.

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. ;

January 2017Blue Bird Short Story Collection
by Li Jingze
Blue Bird Short Story Collection is a collection of proses and reviews, a verification and analysis of history and also an imaginary fction. Li Jingze explored into the historical texts like an archaeologist, collecting their traces and fragments and composed a picture of China’s complicated past. He looked for people hidden in history who bridged communications between Eastern and Western civilizations. With “Sinking, dragon Saliva and roses”, he draws our eyes to the ancient past; we are likely to be fascinated with “silver trees in Buxie district” or go on a long journey with “Eight Beats of Ganzhou Song” in our mind; most probably, we would pay attention to Matteo Ricci, the Christian missionary. In imagination, the past things vividly present themselves before our eyes and the ancient people fly across like blue birds, their routes and gestures deeply engraved in our minds.

RAMÓN QUE SE LE PERDIÓ EL PANTALÓN
by Israel (Puchu) Wiesler
RAMÓN QUE SE LE PERDIÓ EL PANTALÓN (En medio del baile) por Israel (Puchu) Wiesler Este es un cuento acerca de un niño flaco, que al principio no le apetecía comer y que era muy delgado, pero que después, cuando al fin comenzó a comer, no podía parar. Era horrible: cuando era flaco se le caían los pantalones y al subir de peso le reventaban las costuras. ?Que se podía hacer? Preguntad a su madre, que tenía una solución para cada problema. Este libro, que en los últimos diez años ha registrado ventas muy buenas en Israel, se ha vuelto últimamente de mayor aceptación, gracias a la creciente conciencia tanto de padres como de niños sobre el problema de la obesidad en la infancia. Aun cuando este relato tiene una moraleja, su gran éxito (?hasta ahora se han publicado 12 ediciones!) deriva principalmente de lo divertido que es para los lectores jóvenes. El autor, Israel Wiesler, cuyo apodo es “Puchu”, nació en Tel Aviv y publicó su primer libro, “Qué pandilla” a los 26 años. Desde entonces ha escrito Wiesler más de treinta libros y docenas de libretos para series de televisión destinados a niños y a adultos jóvenes. Las obras de Wiesler, escritas con un cálido y especial sentido del humor, fueron galardonadas con seis premios literarios en Israel. El acreditado “Léxico Ofek” de literatura para niños en hebreo, describe a Wiesler como “como el mejor escritor humorista para niños y adultos jóvenes de Israel”. Puchu ha sido uno de los tres únicos escritores israelíes que fueron honrados el año pasado con la emisión de un sello de correo que muestra la portada de uno de sus libros.
