Literature & Literary StudiesApril 2020Interweaving myths in Shakespeare and his contemporaries
by Janice Valls-Russell, Agnès Lafont, Charlotte Coffin
This volume proposes new insights into the uses of classical mythology by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, focusing on interweaving processes in early modern appropriations of myth. Its 11 essays show how early modern writing intertwines diverse myths and plays with variant versions of individual myths that derive from multiple classical sources, as well as medieval, Tudor and early modern retellings and translations. Works discussed include poems and plays by William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and others. Essays concentrate on specific plays including The Merchant of Venice and Dido Queen of Carthage, tracing interactions between myths, chronicles, the Bible and contemporary genres. Mythological figures are considered to demonstrate how the weaving together of sources deconstructs gendered representations. New meanings emerge from these readings, which open up methodological perspectives on multi-textuality, artistic appropriation and cultural hybridity.

October 2024William Turner
Biografie | Ein Leben aus der Perspektive seiner Bilder | Mit zahlreichen farbigen Abbildungen
by Boris Brauchitsch
Von seinen Zeitgenossen entweder gefeiert oder für verrückt erklärt, gilt William Turner heute längst als der bedeutendste Künstler Großbritanniens. Kein anderer Maler des 19. Jahrhunderts hat die weitere Entwicklung der Kunst stärker geprägt als er – ob Impressionismus, Abstraktion oder Futurismus, Turner hat vieles vorweggenommen, was erst Jahrzehnte nach seinem Tod Furore machen sollte. William Turner (1775-1851), Sohn eines Barbiers, verfolgte seinen Traum von Anerkennung und Wohlstand erfolgreich mit den Mitteln der Kunst. Wohl keiner reiste und zeichnete so viel wie er, bediente einerseits gekonnt den Kunstmarkt und schuf zugleich Werke, von denen der Autor und Sammler William Beckford sagte, Turner »malt, als ob sein Hirn und seine Fantasie auf der Palette mit Seifenlauge und Schaum vermischt wären.« Zu seinem 250. Geburtstag folgt Boris von Brauchitsch dem exzentrischen Maler in dieser atmosphärisch dichten Biografie vor gesellschaftspolitisch geweitetem Horizont auf seinen abenteuerlichen Reisen durch Europa, beobachtet ihn bei seinem Wettstreit mit den Großen der Kunstgeschichte, begleitet ihn beim Kampf für die Ebenbürtigkeit der Landschaftsmalerei und geht so manchem Geheimnis nach, das ihn umgibt.

The ArtsOctober 2006William Holman Hunt
Painter, painting, paint
by Carol Jacobi
This is a fundamental reassessment of the work of William Holman Hunt, and the first critical text to reproduce his pictures in colour and set him on an international stage. Introducing a new critique of the autobiography and drawing on hundreds of private letters, drawings and paintings, the author depicts a radical man of his times, deeply troubled by the pivotal concerns of the materialist age - the isolation of the individual, the collapse of faith and the status of art - and seeking solutions through a systematic testing of the extremes of painting. A close examination of the pictures, including neglected later works, combined with recent scientific research relate the physical act of painting, and the paint, back to the body of the artist. Lavishly illustrated and engagingly written, this book answers the longstanding lack of any monograph on Hunt and will make compelling reading for undergraduate and graduate students of History of Art, Victorian Studies, English Literature and Religious Studies, as well as curators, conservators and the artist's many admirers. ;
