Literature & Literary StudiesNovember 2024Geoffrey Hill and the ends of poetry
by Tom Docherty
The idea of the end is an essential motivic force in the poetry of Geoffrey Hill (1932-2016). This book shows that Hill's poems are characteristically 'end-directed'. They tend towards consummations of all kinds: from the marriages of meanings in puns, or of words in repeating figures and rhymes, to syntactical and formal finalities. The recognition of failure to reach such ends provides its own impetus to Hill's poetry. This is the first book on Hill to take account of his last works. It is a significant contribution to the study of Hill's poems, offering a new thematic reading of his entire body of work. By using Hill's work as an example, the book also touches on questions of poetry's ultimate value: what are its ends and where does it wish to end up?

March 2002Prometheus auf seinem Felsen
Zweisprachige Ausgabe
by Ted Hughes, Eva Clemens, Jutta Kaußen, Jutta Kaußen
Zu den Geschichten, die sich als Mythos tief ins menschliche Gedächtnis eingeprägt haben und die immer noch gegenwärtig sind, gehört die von Prometheus: seinen Taten, seinem Leiden, seinem Nicht-sterben-Können. Als Suchbegriff im Internet eingegeben, finden sich unter ›Prometheus‹ weltweit 66.275 Seiten. Durch die Jahrhunderte haben sich vor allem die Künstler dieser Figur immer wieder angenommen – oder war es andersherum? Hat sich Prometheus der Künstler angenommen und ihnen die Möglichkeit gegeben, sich über ihn und seine Geschichte mitzuteilen? Die einundzwanzig Gedichte von Ted Hughes aus Prometheus auf seinem Felsen zeigen den Protagonisten bewegungsunfähig, festgehalten in einer ausweglosen, todesgleichen Situation – bis er verstanden hat, was ihm geschieht, und er das Unausweichliche annimmt. Nun erst kann er sich lösen, ist wiedergeboren und geheilt. In einer englisch-deutschen Ausgabe, mit den Übertragungen von Jutta Kaußen und einem eigens für diesen Band gemalten Bilderzyklus von Eva Clemens, wird der Prometheus des großen englischen Lyrikers, 1973 in einer limitierten und raren Ausgabe erschienen, nun auch dem deutschen Publikum zugänglich.

Air power and colonial control
by David Omissi
Air policing was used in many colonial possessions, but its most effective incidence occurred in the crescent of territory from north-eastern Africa, through South-West Arabia, to North West Frontier of India. This book talks about air policing and its role in offering a cheaper means of 'pacification' in the inter-war years. It illuminates the potentialities and limitations of the new aerial technology, and makes important contributions to the history of colonial resistance and its suppression. Air policing was employed in the campaign against Mohammed bin Abdulla Hassan and his Dervish following in Somaliland in early 1920. The book discusses the relationships between air control and the survival of Royal Air Force in Iraq and between air power and indirect imperialism in the Hashemite kingdoms. It discusses Hugh Trenchard's plans to substitute air for naval or coastal forces, and assesses the extent to which barriers of climate and geography continued to limit the exercise of air power. Indigenous responses include being terrified at the mere sight of aircraft to the successful adaptation to air power, which was hardly foreseen by either the opponents or the supporters of air policing. The book examines the ethical debates which were a continuous undercurrent to the stream of argument about repressive air power methods from a political and operational perspective. It compares air policing as practised by other European powers by highlighting the Rif war in Morocco, the Druze revolt in Syria, and Italy's war of reconquest in Libya.

March 2010Onkel J.
Heimatkunde
by Andreas Maier
Seit seinem Debüterfolg mit dem Roman Wäldchestag im Jahr 2000 ist Andreas Maier häufig unterwegs, um aus seinen Romanen zu lesen. Nur daß er in den letzten ein, zwei Jahren meist, wenn er eingeladen war, auch immer wieder schon aus dem kommenden Onkel J. las. Jedesmal hatte er damit das Publikum im Handumdrehen auf seiner Seite. Umstandslos fand man sich angeschlossen an Maiers Welt aus Wetterau, Familie, Fußball, Apfelwein, aus Thomas Bernhard und dem Evangelium nach Matthäus, aus Ängsten, Kneipenfreuden und -nöten, eingepackt in absurde Vorkommnisse und komische Erlebnisse. Jede Kolumne beginnt mit einem »Neulich«-Satz, die erste so: »Neulich war ich in Berlin. Das wird jetzt niemand weiter ungewöhnlich finden, aber ich bin Hesse, und mir ging in Berlin ein Wunsch in Erfüllung.« Dennoch handelt es sich um alles andere als ein Kolumnenbuch. Vielmehr nimmt Onkel J. – im Übergang von den ersten vier Romanen zu Maiers Projekt »Ortsumgehung« – eine zentrale Stelle ein. »Alles gehört zusammen, und für alles ist das Kolumnenbuch der Kern.«

May 2004Das Bildnis des Mr. W. H
by Oscar Wilde, Christine Hoeppener, Joachim Kalka
Die Frage nach der Identität von W. H., dem Shakespeare seine Sonette widmete, ist eines der klassischen Rätsel der Shakespeare-Forschung. Auch Cyril Graham, der jugendliche Held in Wildes Geschichte, verfällt dem Sog der Spekulation. Er ist überzeugt, W. H.s Identität gelüftet zu haben: Willie Hughes, ein jugendlicher Schauspieler aus Shakespeares Truppe, ist, so beweist er glaubhaft, der Adressat der Sonette. Um die letzten Zweifler zu überzeugen, begeht er eine Fälschung – doch der Betrug wird aufgedeckt ...Wildes virtuose Geschichte einer Obsession ist ein amüsantes Verwirrspiel über die enge Verflechtung von Kunst und Leben und eine gelungene Parodie der biographischen Methode in der Literaturwissenschaft – ein Muß für Wilde- und Shakespeare-Leser.

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2015Men, ideas and tanks
British military thought and armoured forces, 1903?39
by J. P. Harris
Men, ideas and tanks reviews the development of British military ideas on armoured forces from 1903 to 1939. Great Britain was the nation which first developed the tank, first used it in action and first gained dramatic results by employment. The British continued to be world leaders in the field of mechanised warfare until the early 1930s. J. P. Harris offers strikingly new interpretations of the early history of British armoured forces and explains why Great Britain had lost the lead by the outbreak of the Second World War. Available in paperback once more, this work will be of interest to all those concerned with British military history in the first half of the twentieth century, with the history of mechanised warfare and with the history of military thought. ;
