        Jack Clayton

        by Neil Sinyard

        In François Truffaut's opinion The Innocents was 'the best English film after Hitchcock goes to America'. Tennessee Williams said of The Great Gatsby: 'a film whose artistry even surpassed the original novel'. The maker of both films was Jack Clayton, one of the finest English directors of the post-war era and perhaps best remembered for the trail-blazing Room at the Top which brought a new sexual frankness and social realism to the British screen. This is the first full-length critical study of Clayton's work. The author has been able to consult and quote from the director's own private papers which illuminate Clayton's creative practices and artistic intentions. In addition to fresh analyses of the individual films, the book contains new material on Clayton's many unrealised projects and valuably includes his previously unpublished short story 'The Enchantment' - as poignant and revealing as the films themselves. This is a personal and fascinating account of the career and achievement of an important, much-loved director that should appeal to students and film enthusiasts.

        From Jack Tar to Union Jack

        Representing naval manhood in the British Empire, 1870–1918

        by Mary A. Conley

        Jack Tar to Union Jack examines the intersection between empire, navy, and manhood in British society from 1870 to 1918. Through analysis of sources that include courts-martial cases, sailors' own writings, and the HMS Pinafore, Conley charts new depictions of naval manhood during the Age of Empire, a period which witnessed the radical transformation of the navy, the intensification of imperial competition, the democratisation of British society, and the advent of mass culture. Jack Tar to Union Jack argues that popular representations of naval men increasingly reflected and informed imperial masculine ideals in Victorian and Edwardian Britain. Conley shows how the British Bluejacket as both patriotic defender and dutiful husband and father stood in sharp contrast to the stereotypic image of the brave but bawdy tar of the Georgian navy. This book will be essential reading for students of British imperial history, naval and military history, and gender studies.

        Bausteine der Freud-Biographik

        by Siegfried Bernfeld, Suzanne Cassirer Bernfeld, Ilse Grubrich-Simitis, Alexander Mitscherlich, Ilse Grubrich-Simitis, Ilse Grubrich-Simitis

        Die Freud-Biographik ist durch zwei auffallende, gleichermaßen verzerrende Tendenzen charakterisiert: eine Tendenz zur Hagiographie und eine andere zur Demontage. Abseits dieser teils idealisierenden, teils vermeintlich entlarvenden Freud-Interpretationen entfaltete sich in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten eine Freud-Forschung, die, geduldig und gelassen Fakten sammelnd, neue Erkenntnisse über Freuds Leben und Denken zutage gefördert hat. In welchem Ausmaß die bisherige Freud-Biographik auf den Details der Bernfeldschen Beiträge aufbaut, zeigt die Herausgeberin Ilse Grubrich-Simitis, ihrerseits Psychoanalytikerin und Autorin von Veröffentlichungen zur Geschichte der Psychoanalyse, in der Einleitung.
