        Father Browns Geheimnis

        Erzählungen

        by Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Hanswilhelm Haefs

        Gilbert Keith Chesterton wurde am 29. Mai 1874 in London geboren. Er begann eine Ausbildung als Illustrator an der Slade School of Art und besuchte Literaturvorlesungen am Londoner King’s College. Als Kolumnist und Literaturkritiker schrieb er für verschiedene liberale Zeitungen. Von 1900 an erschienen von ihm über hundert Bücher, Gedichte, Kurzgeschichten und Theaterstücke, die durch ihre stilistische Brillanz schnell eine große Bekanntheit erlangten. In besonderem Maße setzte sich Chesterton, der 1922 zum Katholizismus konvertierte, in seinen Büchern und Aufsätzen mit seiner Beziehung zum Christentum auseinander, meistens allerdings – wie in der  bekannten Gestalt des Priester-Detektivs Pater Brown – auf humoristische Weise. Er starb am 14. Juni 1936 in Beaconsfield.

        Geoffrey 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?

        J. M. W. Turner

        The making of a modern artist

        by Sam Smiles, Alan Rutter

        Alone of his contemporaries, J.M.W. Turner is commonly held to have prefigured modern painting, as signalled in the existence of The Turner Prize for contemporary art. Our celebration of his achievement is very different to what Victorian critics made of his art. This book shows how Turner was reinvented to become the artist we recognise today. On Turner's death in 1851 he was already known as an adventurous, even baffling, painter. But when the Court of Chancery decreed that the contents of his studio should be given to the nation, another side of his art was revealed that effected a wholescale change in his reputation. This book acts as a guide to the reactions of art writers and curators from the 1850s to the 1960s as they attempted to come to terms with his work. It documents how Turner was interpreted and how his work was displayed in Britain, in Europe and in North America, concentrating on the ways in which his artistic identity was manipulated by art writers, by curators at the Tate and by designers of exhibitions for the British Council and other bodies. ;

        Das Vokabular der Psychoanalyse

        by J. Laplanche, J.-B. Pontalis, Emma Moersch, Daniel Lagache

        Der Psychoanalytiker J. Laplanche und der Philosoph J.-B. Pontalis haben die gesamte psychoanalytische Literatur durchgearbeitet und zu einem »Vokabular der Psychoanalyse« zusammengetragen. Das Vokabular definiert nicht nur die von Freud und einigen seiner Schüler eingeführten und mittlerweile über die halbe Welt verbreiteten Ausdrücke, sondern erörtert ihre Entstehung, ihre Wandlungen, ihren heutigen Status, um ihre Bedeutung innerhalb der psychoanalytischen Theorie und Praxis zu entschlüsseln. Der gesamte begriffliche Apparat der Psychoanalyse wird so unter drei Gesichtspunkten analysiert: Geschichte, Struktur, Problematik.

        Race, nation and empire

        Making histories, 1750 to the present

        by Catherine Hall, Keith McClelland, Julian Hoppit

        The essays in this collection show how histories written in the past, in different political times, dealt with, considered, or avoided and disavowed Britain's imperial role and issues of difference. Ranging from enlightenment historians to the present, these essays consider both individual historians, including such key figures as E. A. Freeman, G. M. Trevelyan and Keith Hancock, and also broader themes such as the relationship between liberalism, race and historiography and how we might re-think British history in the light of trans-national, trans-imperial and cross-cultural analysis. 'Britishness' and what 'British' history is have become major cultural and political issues in our time. But as these essays demonstrate, there is no single national story: race, empire and difference have pulsed through the writing of British history. The contributors include some of the most distinguished historians writing today: C. A. Bayly, Antoinette Burton, Saul Dubow, Geoff Eley, Theodore Koditschek, Marilyn Lake, John M. MacKenzie, Karen O'Brien, Sonya O. Rose, Bill Schwarz, Kathleen Wilson. ;
