Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2013Joan of Arc
La pucelle
by Craig Taylor
This sourcebook collects together for the first time in English the major documents relating to the life and contemporary reputation of Joan of Arc. Also known as La Pucelle, she led a French Army against the English in 1429, arguably turning the course of the war in favour of the French king Charles VII. The fact that she achieved all of this when just a seventeen-year-old peasant girl highlights the magnitude of her achievements and also opens up other ways of looking at her story. For many, Joan represents the voice of ordinary people in the fifteenth century; the victims of high politics and warfare that devastated France. Her story ended tragically in 1431 when she was put on trial for heresy and sorcery by an ecclesiastical court and was burned at the stake. This book shows how the trial, which was organised by her enemies, provides an important window into late medieval attitudes towards religion and gender, as Joan was effectively persecuted by the established Church for her supposedly non-conformist views on spirituality and the role of women. Presented within a contextual and critical framework, this book encourages scholars and students to rethink this remarkable story. It will be invaluable reading for those working in the fields of medieval society and heresy, as well as the Hundred Years' War.

Literature & Literary StudiesSeptember 2020The early Spenser, 1554–80
'Minde on honour fixed'
by Jean R. Brink, Joshua Samuel Reid
Brink's provocative biography shows that Spenser was not the would-be court poet whom Karl Marx's described as 'Elizabeth's arse-kissing poet'. In this readable and informative account, Spenser is depicted as the protégé of a circle of London clergymen, who expected him to take holy orders. Brink shows that the young Spenser was known to Alexander Nowell, author of Nowell's Catechism and Dean of St. Paul's. Significantly revising the received biography, Brink argues that that it was Harvey alone who orchestrated Familiar Letters (1580). He used this correspondence to further his career and invented the portrait of Spenser as his admiring disciple. Contextualising Spenser's life by comparisons with Shakespeare and Sir Walter Ralegh, Brink shows that Spenser shared with Sir Philip Sidney an allegiance to the early modern chivalric code. His departure for Ireland was a high point, not an exile.

October 2016Vom Kontinent zur Union
Gegenwart und Geschichte des vereinten Europa
by Luuk van Middelaar
Euro-Krise, »Flüchtlingskrise«, »Brexit« – die EU befindet sich an einem historischen Scheideweg. Nachdem es jahrzehntelang den Anschein hatte, die »Verwirklichung einer immer engeren Union der Völker Europas« sei nur eine Frage der Zeit, stellen unvorhergesehene Ereignisse die Logik der Integration infrage. Nationale Interessen rücken in den Vordergrund, das Ringen um gemeinsame Lösungen wird immer verzweifelter. Luuk van Middelaar, ein exzellenter Kenner der Brüsseler Praxis, verwandelt eine vermeintlich trockene Materie in den Stoff einer faszinierenden Erzählung. Beginnend mit dem 18. April 1951, als die Vertreter der sechs Gründerstaaten im französischen Außenministerium am Quai d’Orsay den Vertrag über die Errichtung der Montanunion unterzeichneten, schildert er die wichtigsten Etappen – und Krisen – auf dem Weg vom Kontinent zur Union. Er lässt die Atmosphäre dramatischer Gipfelnächte lebendig werden, zeigt, wie Politiker immer wieder versucht haben, die Öffentlichkeit von Europa zu überzeugen, und erinnert uns daran, welch einmaliges historisches Projekt aktuell auf dem Spiel steht.

September 2021Mein kleines Prachttier
Roman
by Marieke Lucas Rijneveld, Helga van Beuningen
Dies ist die Geschichte eines Mannes und eines jungen Mädchens, die Geschichte einer fatalen Liebe von animalischer Wucht und moralischer Zweifelhaftigkeit. Ein langer, heißer Sommer in einem abgelegenen, strenggläubig calvinistischen Dorf. Auf dem Hof eines Milchbauern nähert sich der Tierarzt der vierzehnjährigen Tochter an. Das Mädchen, auf der verzweifelten Suche nach Geborgenheit, verwechselt Begehren mit väterlicher Zuneigung. Der Sommer schreitet voran und die beiden entwickeln eine immer gefährlichere Faszination füreinander … In der Begründung der Jury des Preises der Leipziger Buchmesse, den die Übersetzerin Helga van Beuningen 2022 erhalten hat, heißt es: »Wie mit absolutem Gehör begabt, lässt Helga van Beuningen die sprachlichen Register musikalisch ineinandergreifen, die für die beklemmende Attraktion von Marieke Lucas Rijnevelds Roman Mein kleines Prachttier sorgen. Ein deutsch-niederländisches Virtuos:innenstück.«
