Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2017Spenserian satire
A tradition of indirection
by Series edited by J. B. Lethbridge, Rachel Hile, Joshua Samuel Reid
Scholars of Edmund Spenser have focused much more on his accomplishments in epic and pastoral than his work in satire. Scholars of early modern English satire almost never discuss Spenser. However, these critical gaps stem from later developments in the canon rather than any insignificance in Spenser's accomplishments and influence on satiric poetry. This book argues that the indirect form of satire developed by Spenser served during and after Spenser's lifetime as an important model for other poets who wished to convey satirical messages with some degree of safety. The book connects key Spenserian texts in The Shepheardes Calender and the Complaints volume with poems by a range of authors in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, including Joseph Hall, Thomas Nashe, Tailboys Dymoke, Thomas Middleton and George Wither, to advance the thesis that Spenser was seen by his contemporaries as highly relevant to satire in Elizabethan England.

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2024Sexual politics in revolutionary England
by Sam Fullerton
Sexual politics in revolutionary England recounts a dramatic transformation in English sexual polemic that unfolded during the kingdom's mid-seventeenth-century civil wars. In early Stuart England, explicit sexual language was largely confined to manuscript and oral forms by the combined regulatory pressures of ecclesiastical press licensing and powerful cultural notions of civility and decorum. During the early 1640s, however, graphic sex-talk exploded into polemical print for the first time in English history. Over the next two decades, sexual politics evolved into a vital component of public discourse, as contemporaries utilized sexual satire to reframe the English Revolution as a battle between licentious Stuart tyrants and their lecherous puritan enemies. By the time that Charles II regained the throne in 1660, this book argues, sex was already a routine element of English political culture.

The ArtsJune 2017Terry Gilliam
by Peter Marks
Terry Gilliam presents a sustained examination of one of cinema's most challenging and lauded auteurs, proposing fresh ways of seeing Gilliam that go beyond reductive readings of him as a gifted but manic fantasist. Analysing Gilliam's work over nearly four decades, from the brilliant anarchy of his Monty Python animations through the nightmarish masterpiece Brazil to the provocative Gothic horror of Tideland, it critically examines the variety and richness of Gilliam's sometimes troubled but always provocative output. The book situates Gilliam within the competing cultural contexts of the British, European and American film industries, examining his regular struggles against aesthetic and commercial pressures. He emerges as a passionate, immensely creative director, whose work encompasses a dizzying array of material: anarchic satire, childhood and adult fantasy, dystopia, romantic comedy, surrealism, road movie, fairy tale and the Gothic. The book charts how Gilliam interweaves these genres and forms to create magical interfaces between reality and the illuminating, frightening but liberating worlds of the imagination. Scrutinising the neglected importance of literature and adaptation in Gilliam's career, this study also observes him through the lenses of auteurism, genre, performance, design and national culture, explaining how someone born in Minnesota and raised in California came to be one of British television and film's most compelling figures.

Things to know about medicines and micronutrients
by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters
This guide provides patients with important medical information about interactions of their drug products with vitamins and minerals. These interactions are not always listed in the accompanying package inserts. Those who take acid blockers such as omeprazole or pantoprazole may not only develop disorders relating to calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and bone metabolism in the long term, but above all become deficient in vitamin B12. This way, patients can improve their treatment, reduce the side effects of their medication and increase their quality of life!

June 1998Strafrecht und Satire im Werk von Karl Kraus
by Reinhard Merkel
»Das Lebenswerk von Karl Kraus in den 37 Jahrgängen der Zeitschrift »Die Fackel« gilt heute als das klassische Beispiel einer kritisch-literarischen Begleitung der Zeitläufe, jener Zeitläufe, in denen sich das Unheil des 20. Jahrhunderts, Weltkriege und Faschismus, anbahnte. Bisher kaum berührt ist dabei, daß sich durch dieses Werk eine Auseinandersetzung mit rechtspolitischen, rechtsdogmatischen und prozessualen Strafrechtsproblemen als ununterbrochene Linie hindurchzieht. Merkel hat als rechtsphilosophisch und -theoretisch gebildeter Jurist, als Essayist und Journalist die doppelte Vorbildung, um diesen ›weißen Fleck‹ zwischen Literatur und Recht zu bearbeiten; er hat auch das zu diesem Thema und dem Gegenstand angemessene Engagement, um ein den Leser durch Klarheit der Linienführung, kritische Durchblicke und, natürlich, eine reflektierte und elegante Sprache fesselndes Werk zu schreiben. Den in mehreren Richtungen entfalteten Grundlegungen folgt ein Durchgang durch die von Karl Klaus behandelten strafrechtlichen Probleme und Deliktbereiche. Das geht vom Sittlichkeitsstrafrecht (in vielen Varianten) zum Wirtschafts- und Pressestrafrecht, zur Kindesmißhandlung und zum Strafverfahren. Hier entfaltet sich fast eine Chronik der Zeitgeschichte; viele Wertvorstellungen haben sich gewandelt, die menschlichen Grundkonstellationen (Gesellschaft, Polizei und Justiz) weit weniger.« (Gerhard Dilcher, »Neue Juristische Wochenschrift«)

Among the Sheep
by Oleksandr Koreshkov
Something has clicked in the world order, and you have a chance to look at things around us from a different angle. What is: "fear of being human"? What is it like to "see wrongdoing and remain silent"? When do we turn into our executioners? You avoid such difficult questions to the last. Maybe it would be better to use the example of one dog that lives in a world of total fear, lies and greed? Lives like a sheep among sheep...
