February 2004Der scharlachrote Buchstabe
Roman
by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Barbara Cramer-Nauhaus, Hans Weyhe, Alexander Thiele
Der scharlachrote Buchstabe ist Hawthornes erster und berühmtester Roman. Ergebnis einer langen Auseinandersetzung mit der Welt seiner puritanischen Vorfahren, ist er zugleich der klassische amerikanische Ehebruchroman. Ehebruch wird in der puritanischen Gesellschaft der Siedlerzeit nach starren Moralvorstellungen geahndet: So muß die Ehebrecherin Hester Prynne nach Verbüßung einer Gefängnisstrafe drei Stunden am Pranger stehen. Zudem ist sie dazu verurteilt, für den Rest ihres Lebens das Mal der vermeintlichen Schande – den scharlachroten Buchstaben A (für adulteress: Ehebrecherin) – auf der Brust zu tragen. überzeugt von der Würde ihrer Liebe, weigert sie sich, den Namen von Pearls Vater preiszugeben: Arthur Dimmesdale, Pfarrer der Gemeinde. Dimmesdale, schwächer und abhängiger vom Denken der Gesellschaft als Hester, wagt es nicht, sich zu seiner Schuld zu bekennen. Besessen von Rachegedanken, versucht ihn Hesters Ehemann, unter dem falschen Namen Chillingworth, zu einem Geständnis zu drängen.Mit seinen dramatischen Szenen und Konstellationen, den Reflexionen zu Schuld und Sühne sowie der melodramatischen Zuspitzung des Geschehens ist Der scharlachrote Buchstabe nicht nur ein Klassiker der amerikanischen Literatur, sondern auch eine überaus spannende Lektüre.

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2005Early modern women's manuscript poetry
by Jill Millman, Gillian Wright
'Early modern women's manuscript poetry' is an anthology of texts by fourteen women poets writing between 1589 and 1706. It is the only currently available anthology of early modern women's writing which focuses exclusively on manuscript material. Authors include Mary Sidney, Lucy Hutchinson and Katherine Philips; central figures in the emerging canon of early modern women writers, but whose work appears in a fresh and very different light in the manuscript context emphasised by this anthology. The volume also includes substantial excerpts from a recently discovered verse paraphrase of Genesis, thought to be by the previously unknown seventeenth-century writer Mary Roper, as well as selections from the unjustly neglected poet, Hester Pulter. The mix of canonical and non-canonical writers makes this book ideal for use on undergraduate and early postgraduate courses, while specialists will be particularly interested in the sophisticated and varied material taken from less familiar sources. ;

The ArtsFebruary 2022"I am Jugoslovenka!"
Feminist performance politics during and after Yugoslav Socialism
by Jasmina Tumbas, Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon
"I am Jugoslovenka" argues that queer-feminist artistic and political resistance were paradoxically enabled by socialist Yugoslavia's unique history of patriarchy and women's emancipation. Spanning performance and conceptual art, video works, film and pop music, lesbian activism and press photos of female snipers in the Yugoslav wars, the book analyses feminist resistance in a range of performative actions that manifest the radical embodiment of Yugoslavia's anti-fascist, transnational and feminist legacies. It covers celebrated and lesser-known artists from the 1970s to today, including Marina Abramovic, Sanja Ivekovic, Vlasta Delimar, Tanja Ostojic, Selma Selman and Helena Janecic, along with music legends Lepa Brena and Esma Redzepova. "I am Jugoslovenka" tells a unique story of women's resistance through the intersection of feminism, socialism and nationalism in East European visual culture.

August 2020Renewing Our Hope
Essays for the New Evangelization
by Robert Barron
In a time of discouragement, how can the Church renew itself and its outreach to all people? Bishop Robert Barron, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, insists that a "dumbed down" Catholicism cannot succeed in today's highly educated society--instead, the Church needs to draw upon its great theological heritage in order to renew its hope in Christ. With Renewing Our Hope: Essays for the New Evangelization, Bishop Barron traces this renewal through four stages. "Renewing Our Mission" lays out the challenges that call for Catholics to become more aware of their own intellectual resources in encountering the "Nones." "Renewing Our Minds" showcases the importance of theological reflection as a font of wisdom and sanity in the Church, touching on Thomas Aquinas, Hans Urs von Balthasar, the recently canonized John Henry Newman, and Pope Francis. In "Renewing the Church," he proceeds to look at how Scripture, the family, the seminary, and Catholic college graduates can each contribute to this renewal. Finally, in "Renewing Our Culture," he returns to the judgments Catholics must make in assessing contemporary culture, specifically, family life, liberalism, relativism, and (surprisingly) the beauty of cinema. Bishop Barron, known as the host of the Catholicism PBS video series, was previously rector and professor of systematic theology at Mundelein Seminary outside Chicago, Illinois. He demonstrates again in Renewing Our Hope his ability to make the fruits of his wide reading accessible to a broad audience, while still giving his academic colleagues much to consider.

Biography & True StoriesFebruary 2019Are you two sisters?
a memoir
by Hester van der Walt
Two women, one from the Netherlands and the other one from the Free State Gold Fields, meet in a hospital hall in Bloemfontein. Fifty years later Hester tells the story of how life formed them as nurses, community workers, bakers, artists and life partners. In this memoir, she tells of the key moments in her life that led her to leave the strictures of her upbringing in order to find out who she was. Her decisions take her from the Free State to District Six and to Venda, to the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, to Heideveld and Hanover Park and eventually to McGregor. Her humble story tells of the spiritual isolation of all "refugees" who leave the irreversible values of their "home" (whether physical or ideological) and find new ways to create a life. It also tells about the wonder of finding love and a partner along the way.

Population & demographyJanuary 2002The 2000 Census
Interim Assessment
by Panel to Review the 2000 Census, Constance F. Citro, Daniel L. Cork, and Janet L. Norwood, Editors, Committee on National Statistics, National Research Council
This volume contains the full text of two reports: one is an interim review of major census operations, which also assesses the U.S. Census bureau's recommendation in March 2001 regarding statistical adjustment of census data for redistricting. It does not address the decision on adjustment for non-redistricting purposes. The second report consists of a letter sent to William Barron, acting director of the Census Bureau. It reviews the new set of evaluations prepared by the Census Bureau in support of its October decision. The two reports are packaged together to provide a unified discussion of statistical adjustment and other aspects of the 2000 census that the authoring panel has considered to date.
