Hundert Gedichte
by Edward Vere, Earl of Oxford, Kurt Kreiler
Überrascht blicken wir auf das Werk eines jungen Autors des sechzehnten Jahrhunderts, den die englische Literaturgeschichte nicht kennt oder als Marginalie behandelt. Seine Gedichte besitzen Strahlkraft, Intelligenz und Entschiedenheit. Der Dichter – Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford (1550–1604) – verbirgt seinen Namen von Anfang an hinter dem Schleier diverser Pseudonyme: Meritum petere grave, Fortunatus Infoelix, Ferenda Natura, Spraeta tamen vivunt, My lucke is losse, Phaeton. Ab 1593 (im Herbst dieses Jahres erscheint unter dem Namen William Shakespeare ein Versepos, »Venus and Adonis«) ist es dann nur noch eines: William Shakespeare. Diese hundert Gedichte eines rollenkundigen Spötters und sprachspielverliebten Dialektikers, die fast ausnahmslos um das Mit- und Gegeneinander von Liebe und Zurückweisung, Sehnsucht und Widerwillen, Leidenschaft und Bezähmung kreisen, sind eine Neuerscheinung in der Welt der Literatur. Sie gewinnen ihren Wert nicht durch die Zuschreibung an William Shakespeare. Umgekehrt: Ihre Qualität stützt die These, dass Edward de Vere ab 1593 unter dem Pseudonym William Shakespeare publizierte.

Die Aventiuren des Master F. I.
by Edward Vere, Earl of Oxford, Chris Hirte, Kurt Kreiler, Kurt Kreiler
Als Buch im Buch, versteckt in einer anonym publizierten literarischen Anthologie des Jahres 1573, erschien die erste englische Novelle, The Adventures of Master F. I., deren virtuose Dialoge zwischen Verspieltheit und Strenge, höfischem Frost und seelischem Fieber oszillieren. Im Raffinement der Darstellung, in der virtuosen Beiläufigkeit und poetischen Dichte sind die Aventiuren unvergleichlich. Das bald vom Markt verschwundene Buch erschien zwei Jahre später in »gereinigter« Version unter dem Namen des Soldatendichters George Gascoigne. In der historisch-philologischen Analyse des Nachworts entwickelt Kurt Kreiler eine Indizienkette, die auf die Autorschaft eines großen anderen schließen läßt. Danach heißt der Verfasser der Aventiuren Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford (1550 bis 1604), der von seinen Zeitgenossen als der »Beste im Fach Komödie« gerühmt wurde und in unserer Zeit als Anwärter auf die Autorschaft Shakespeares gilt. Der Übersetzung wurde die erste Ausgabe von 1573 zugrunde gelegt. Fortunatus Infoelix, ein galanter Ritter des 16. Jahrhunderts, weilt zu Gast in einem Schloß und verliebt sich in die Schwiegertochter des Hausherrn. Lady Elynor reizt den amourösen Belagerer durch die Doppeldeutigkeit ihres Widerstands. Die Zeremonien der Liebesverschwörung werden jäh unterbrochen, als eine zweite Frau den glücklichen Unglücklichen zum Tanz verführt. Wenn sie sich anderntags Master Infoelix als verständnisvolle Freundin andient, so nur deshalb, um sein »Liebesexperiment« geschickt zu steuern …

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2024Children’s rights in crisis
Multidisciplinary, transnational, and comparative perspectives
by Salvador Santino F. Regilme Jr.
This book rigorously investigates the contemporary state of children's rights and the multifaceted challenges facing children, uncovering the complexities at their core. In 1989, the United Nations introduced the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), ratified by 196 nations, promising a world where children's rights would reign supreme. In practice, however, realising these rights proves intricate and often precarious. Policies may shine on paper, but their implementation grapples with the challenges posed by global governance structures, national strategies, and local factors. Over three decades since the CRC's inception, this book scrutinises the true efficacy of international commitments, shedding light on underexplored issues and revealing shortcomings in both discourse and actions. With diverse, interdisciplinary perspectives, it recognises the profound influence of global and transnational forces in generating outcomes that impact children's rights and welfare.

Eine Kulturgeschichte
by Peter Sager
Unorthodox führt Peter Sager durch acht Jahrhunderte englischer Universitätsgeschichte der etwas anderen Art. Man ist überwältigt angesichts der Fülle, die hier ausgebreitet wird. Sager pränsentiert leichtfüßig Anekdoten, Erzählungen und Geschehnisse und porträtiert stilistisch brillant Exzentriker, Gelehrte und Versager, Klubs und Colleges. Dies summiert sich zu einer hinreißenden, ungemein unterhaltsamen Historie der beiden enlischen Hochschulorte. Dieses Buch ist eine überschäumende Fundgrube an Skurrilitäten.
