Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2024Thomas Nashe and literary performance
by Chloe Kathleen Preedy, Rachel Willie
As an instigator of debate and a defender of tradition, a man of letters and a popular hack, a writer of erotica and a spokesman for bishops, an urbane metropolitan and a celebrant of local custom, the various textual performances of Thomas Nashe have elicited, and continue to provoke, a range of contradictory reactions. Nashe's often incongruous authorial characteristics suggest that, as a 'King of Pages', he not only courted controversy but also deliberately cultivated a variety of public personae, acquiring a reputation more slippery than the herrings he celebrated in print. Collectively, the essays in this book illustrate how Nashe excelled at textual performance but his personae became a contested site as readers actively participated and engaged in the reception of Nashe's public image and his works.

Relationships2021Apricot Bookstore
by Oresta Osiichuk

Thus begins the story of Mis’ko Farinyak, a boy of the early twentieth century, which is strangely intertwined with the story of Mykhailo Farinyak, a man of the early XXI century.

Humanities & Social Sciences2020I Will Mix Your Blood With Coal. Understanding Ukrainian East
by Oleksandr Mykhed
In 2014, the Russian army, with support from local militants, had occupied parts of Ukraine’s two easternmost regions, the regions that were the beating industrial heart of the socialist utopia in the Soviet era, and where coal extraction has exhausted both the human population and the natural resources. The regions have suffered from the post-Soviet chaos for decades. In the late 2016, the author set out on a research trip to the East to answer the common questions of those who’ve never been to the region. He takes his readers on a complicated, painful and hopeful trip across the Ukrainian East, guiding them through conversations with the locals, archival research, and conversations with prominent cultural fi gures like writer Serhij Zhadan or released after 700 days of terrorist captivity historian Ihor Kozlovskyi that were born in the region. The readers will meet the miners, the Belgian and British investors who founded the eastern cities, the priceless coal, events of the First and Second World War, the bloody Soviet history, the activists who are now working to improve the country, and sweet memories of the lost paradise.

Historical fiction2022The Age of the Red Ants
by Tanya Pyankova
In spring of 1933 the famine in Machukhy came to its climax. The first case of cannibalism, lynch law, malnutrition-related mental disorders. The village lives in degradation. People are desperate, and they lose their humanity, they are ready to eat everything to survive. And here are two stranger women, two victims of their time, two opposite sides of the great darkness, called hunger, are at arm's length… Young Yavdokha, madness-like insight — and Solya, the holy blindness. One is killed by hunger — the other one is saved. One is promised to have eternal night — the other one is given hope for a happy renewal. And they do not know yet that they go towards each other. They go in order eventually to hug one another and to build a fragile bridge over the insatiable anthill of their torturers…

The ArtsJuly 2024Showing resistance
Propaganda and Modernist exhibitions in Britain, 1933–53
by Harriet Atkinson
This is the first book-length analysis of exhibitions used for propaganda and political interventions in Britain during the two decades from 1933. It analyses how exhibitions were mounted in public places - from station concourses to workers' canteens, empty shops and bombsites - becoming a key tool for public communication. Richly illustrated, the book extends our existing knowledge of the work of a range of prominent artists, architects and designers active in Britain, including Edith Tudor-Hart, Edward McKnight-Kauffer, Paul Nash, F. H. K. Henrion, Misha Black, John Heartfield, Oskar Kokoschka and Erno Goldfinger.

March 2003Meine Gedichte von Walther von der Vogelweide bis heute
by Marcel Reich-Ranicki, Marcel Reich-Ranicki
Under der linden / an der heide, / da unser zweier bette was« – »Freudvoll und leidvoll / Gedankenvoll sein« – »An jenem Tag im blauen Mond September«: Das sind nur einige Stationen der deutschen Lyrik aus nahezu tausend Jahren, aus denen Marcel Reich-Ranicki 268 Gedichte von 88 Autoren zusammengestellt hat, von den Anfängen bis zur Gegenwart, von Walther von der Vogelweide bis Goethe, von Heine bis Brecht, von Erich Kästner bis Ernst Jandl, von Ingeborg Bachmann bis Sarah Kirsch. Gedichte, die Jahrzehnte, Jahrhunderte überdauert haben und heute noch leuchten wie am ersten Tag, ebenso aber Gedichte der zeitgenössischen Literatur.Neben bekannten Gedichten finden sich auch viele unbekannte und Entdeckungen, neu zu Lesendes, einschließlich mancher Liedtexte, die in der Regel in Lyrikanthologien nicht aufgenommen werden, wie das populäre Lied von Lili Marleen, das von Richard Strauss vertonte »Stell auf den Tisch die duftenden Reseden« oder Georg Kreislers abgründiges Chanson »Der Tod, das muß ein Wiener sein«.Die Auswahl ist bewußt subjektiv, sie folgt dem persönlichen Urteil und Geschmack des Herausgebers, der einer der besten Kenner der deutschen Literatur ist: ein Hausbuch für jedermann, in dem sich neben Bekanntem auch zahlreiche weniger bekannte Texte finden.

Literature & Literary StudiesApril 2000Modernism and empire
Writing and British coloniality, 1890–1940
by Howard Booth, Nigel Rigby
This is the first book to explore the relationship between literary modernism and the British Empire. Contributors look at works from the traditional modernist canon as well as extending the range of work addresses - particularly emphasising texts from the Empire. A key issue raised is whether modernism sprang from a crisis in the colonial system, which it sought to extend, or whether the modern movement was a more sophisticated form of cultural imperialism. The chapters in Modernism and empire show the importance of empire to modernism. Patrick Williams theorises modernism and empire; Rod Edmond discusses theories of degeneration in imperial and modernist discourse; Helen Carr examines Imagism and empire; Elleke Boehmer compares Leonard Woolf and Yeats; Janet Montefiore writes on Kipling and Orwell, C.L. Innes explores Yeats, Joyce and their implied audiences; Maire Ni Fhlathuin writes on Patrick Pearse and modernism; John Nash considers newspapers, imperialism and Ulysses; Howard J. Booth addresses D.H. Lawrence and otherness; Nigel Rigby discusses Sylvia Townsend Warner and sexuality in the Pacific; Mark Williams explores Mansfield and Maori culture; Abdulrazak Gurnah looks at Karen Blixen, Elspeth Huxley and settler writing; and Bill Ashcroft and John Salter take an inter-disciplinary approach to Australia and 'Modernism's Empire'. ;

April 2022Earth Observation, Public Health and One Health
Activities, Challenges and Opportunities
by Stéphanie Brazeau, Nicholas H. Ogden
This book focuses on the potential for Earth Observation (EO) to contribute to public health practice. Remote sensing experts from the EO community together with epidemiologists, modelling experts, policy makers, managers and public health researchers gathered at the One Earth-One Health workshop held at the Canadian Earth Observation Summit in Montreal in 2017. They shared how EO is being used to understand, track, predict, and manage infectious diseases and discussed the challenges and significant potential of using and developing EO data for public health purposes. The information provided by the workshop participants and members of the international community, has been compiled and substantially updated to reach EO community members and public health professionals interested in developing and applying EO and other geospatial applications in the risk assessment and management of public health issues. Major foci are mosquito-borne diseases, tick-borne diseases, air quality and heat, water-borne diseases, vulnerable populations and pandemics (including COVID-19).

September 2021Die Schwiegertochter. Das Leben der Ottilie von Goethe
by Dagmar von Gersdorff
»Er hatte nie eine Tochter gehabt. Nun war sie da.« Für ihren Schwiegervater, den Dichter und Staatsminister Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, war sie unentbehrlich: Ottilie von Goethe, eine geb. von Pogwisch aus schleswig-holsteinischem Uradel, war eine der unkonventionellsten, faszinierendsten, auch umstrittensten Frauen ihrer Zeit. Obwohl ihre adelsstolzen Verwandten die Ehe mit August, dem unehelich geborenen Sohn des Dichters, nicht billigten, kam die Heirat zustande. Ottilie hatte dabei hauptsächlich ein Ziel: Goethes Schwiegertochter zu werden. Die Ehe mit August erwies sich als problematisch, Ottilie suchte Trost in diversen Liebschaften. Doch ihre Heiterkeit, Intelligenz und Hilfsbereitschaft machten sie ihrem Schwiegervater bald unersetzlich. Nach Augusts frühem Tod sah Ottilie in der Sorge für Goethe und sein Werk ihre Lebensaufgabe. Und er förderte die geistigen Interessen der Mutter seiner drei Enkelkinder Walther, Wolfgang und Alma. Ottilie schrieb auch selbst, dichtete und gründete die Zeitschrift Chaos. Goethes letzte Worte gehörten Ottilie. Dagmar von Gersdorff zeichnet das Bild einer geistreichen, liebeshungrigen, unkonventionellen Frau. Nach Goethes Tod musste sich Ottilie neu erfinden. Sie führte ein unstetes Leben zwischen Weimar, Wien und Italien. Den geistigen Größen ihrer Zeit durch Freundschaften verbunden, genoss sie, nicht nur als »Goethes Schwiegertochter«, bis zuletzt hohes Ansehen.

March 2010Liebesgedichte des Mittelalters
Wie sich minne hebt, daz weiz ich wol
by Hans-Joachim Simm
Die sogenannte Staufische Klassik hat von etwa 1170 bis 1230 einige der schönsten deutschen Liebesgedichte hervorgebracht – große Poesie, die uns auch heute noch anspricht. Das noch immer rätselhafte Phänomen der Minneidee zeigt sich um 1200 in seiner reinsten Gestalt: als jenes – nicht nur – platonisierende Umwerben einer meist verheirateten und sozial höhergestellten Frau durch Dichtersänger wie den von Kürenberg, Dietmar von Aist, Heinrich von Veldeke, Friedrich von Hausen und viele andere. Doch das hohe Ideal wird bald auf seine reale Tauglichkeit befragt, so schon bei Hartmann von Aue und Walther von der Vogelweide, der in seinen ‚Mädchenliedern’ die ‚niedere’ Minne besingt. Die mit den berühmten Bildern aus der Großen Heidelberger Liederhandschrift illustrierte Ausgabe enthält die schönsten Werbe- und Preislieder, Klagelieder, Tage- und Kreuzzugslieder, Wechselgesänge, Schwanklieder und erotische Pastourellen.
