Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2014The politics of constitutional nationalism in Northern Ireland, 1932–70
Between grievance and reconciliation
by Christopher Norton
In the changed political landscape of Northern Ireland, where all major political parties with a nationalist agenda are now reconciled to the use of peaceful and constitutional means to achieve their objectives, this book presents a timely analysis of the constitutional nationalist tradition in Northern Ireland in the period leading up to the outbreak of the Troubles. The first book on constitutional nationalism to appear in over a decade, this new and incisive work based on extensive primary sources and existing secondary literature, maps the history of the campaigns of nationalist parties and organisations to redress the grievances of Northern Ireland's Catholics and bring partition to an end. It offers a critical reappraisal of these campaigns and it assesses the outcomes and consequences of the political strategies pursued by an array of nationalist parties and groups. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2020Reform of the House of Lords
by Philip Norton
This book is the only one of its kind, providing a clear and exhaustive analysis of the different approaches to the future of Britain's second chamber. The House of Lords has long been the subject of proposals for reform - some successful, others not - and calls for the existing membership to be replaced by elected members have been a staple of political debate. The debate has been characterised by heat rather than light, proponents and opponents of change often talking past one another. This work gives shape to the debate, drawing out the role of the House of Lords, previous attempts at reform, and the different approaches to the future of the House. It develops the argument for each and analyses the current state of the debate about the future of the upper house in Britain's political system.

October 2015Vier Quartette
by T. S. Eliot, Norbert Hummelt
Der berühmte Gedichtzyklus in neuer Übertragung T. S. Eliots epochales Langgedicht »The Waste Land« (1922) beeinflusste die Dichtung der ganzen westlichen Welt. Es veränderte auch Eliot selbst, denn die Frage nach dem spirituellen Überleben im »öden Land« der Moderne trieb sein Werk voran. Die Summe seines Nachdenkens steht in den »Four Quartets«, der großen Spätdichtung, die er zwischen 1935 und 1942 verfasste. Die »Vier Quartette« sagen noch einmal die Welt aus, wie sie im Geist des Menschen überliefert und in den vier Jahreszeiten und den vier Elementen – Luft, Erde, Wasser, Feuer – sinnlich fassbar ist. Sie führen an vier Orte aus Eliots Biographie: »Burnt Norton«, »Little Gidding«, »Dry Salvages« und, zuletzt, »East Coker« - ein Dorf im englischen Somerset, von wo Eliots Vorfahren einst nach Amerika auszogen und wo des Dichters Asche beigesetzt wurde: »In meinem Ende ist mein Anfang.« Fünfzig Jahre nach dem Tod Eliots legt der Lyriker Norbert Hummelt, der 2008 bereits »The Waste Land« in ein rhythmisch-schwungvolles Deutsch überführte, die »Vier Quartette« in einer Neuübertragung vor, einem Dialog über die Zeiten hinweg, dicht an den Fügungen des Originals, der Eliots einzigartige Gedankenmusik ganz neu zum Klingen bringt. Wir lassen niemals vom Entdecken Und am Ende allen Entdeckens Langen wir, wo wir losliefen, an Und kennen den Ort zum ersten Mal.
