Literature & Literary StudiesFebruary 2025The Massacre at Paris
By Christopher Marlowe
by Mathew R. Martin
This volume presents a modernised edition of Christopher Marlowe's critical engagement with one of the bloodiest and traumatic episodes of the French Wars of Religion, the wholesale massacre of French Huguenots in Paris in August, 1572. Sensorily shocking and intellectually gripping, the play's dramatic action spans a tumultuous two decades in French history to unfold for its audience the tragic consequences of religious fanaticism, power politics, and dynastic rivalry. Comprehensively introduced and containing full commentary notes, this edition opens up this frequently neglected but historically significant and dramatically powerful play to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the history of the massacre, the play's treatment of its sources, the play's dramatisation of trauma, and the play's exploration of notions of religious toleration.

Literature & Literary StudiesAugust 2022David and Bathsheba
George Peele
by Mathew R. Martin
David and Bathsheba presents a modernised edition of George Peele's explosive biblical drama about the tangled lives, deadly liaisons, and twisted histories of Ancient Israel's royal family. Martin's critical edition is the first modern single-volume edition of the play since 1912 and opens up this unduly neglected gem of English Renaissance drama to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the play's treatment of its biblical and poetic sources, its engagement with Elizabethan politics, and its forceful representations of religious fanaticism, genocide, and sexual violence. Its commentary notes clarify the text's meaning and staging, guide the reader through the play's dramatisation of the turbulent Davidic period of Ancient Israel's history, and place the play in its broader cultural and artistic milieu. Martin's edition aims to encourage new contemporary critical study of Peele's powerful and disturbing drama.

September 1987Laederachs 69 Arten den Blues zu spielen
by Jürg Laederach
Das abendfüllende Programm dieser Blues-Kompositionen umfaßt kurze und lange, erheiternde und niederschlagende, energisch aufbauende und mühelos niederreißende, schlichte und schlicht aberwitzige, brutale und lässige (sogar gelassene) Geschichten, atemberaubend und wiederbelebend, in zuvorkommend abgezählten Portionen. Die im Titel angegebene Anzahl der Titel ist nur geschätzt. Die den Titel des Buches tragende Kleinst-Story ist echt schlimm, aber Dutzende anderer suchen das nach Kräften wiedergutzumachen. An namhaften Zeitgenossen treten Spinoza, Thomas von Aquin, Justus Liebig, Huldrych Zwingli, aber auch Dr. psych. Förstin, Friedrich Wurlitzer, ein Gerald R. Thirsby, Hermann und die Bundespost, eine gezwungene Oberin, Abraham, schweizerische Hotelgäste, Berlin, Mahler und der Rüstungsexperte Whaleford auf. Unter anderem, unter anderen, versteht sich. In den letzten Sätzen äußert sich Laederach am Ende des Blues-Abends: »Ich bin diesen Weg nie wieder gegangen und rate eindringlich davon ab. Sonst bleibt nichts anderes übrig.« Jürg Laederach, geboren 1945 in Basel, studierte Mathematik in Zürich, Romanistik, Anglistik und Musikwissenschaften in Basel. 1974 erschien sein erstes Buch, der Erzählband Einfall der Dämmerung. Zahlreiche Romane, Erzählungen, Theaterstücke folgten. Laederach war auch als Literatur- und Musikkritiker tätig. (Der zweite Sinn enthält seine Grazer Poetik-Vorlesungen, Eccentric eine Auswahl seiner Kritiken.) Er übersetzte aus dem Englischen und dem Französischen – Werke von Walter Abish, Frederick Barthelme, Maurice Blanchot, William Gass, Harry Mathews und anderen. Sein Werk wurde mehrfach ausgezeichnet, 2005 mit dem Italo-Svevo-Preis. Zuletzt veröffentlichte er den Erzählband Harmfuls Hölle. Er starb 2018 in seiner Heimatstadt Basel.
