        At home with the poor

        Consumer behaviour and material culture in England, c. 1650-1850

        by Joseph Harley

        This book opens the doors to the homes of the forgotten poor and traces the goods they owned before, during and after the industrial revolution (c. 1650-1850). Using a vast and diverse range of sources, it gets to the very heart of what it meant to be 'poor' by examining the homes of the impoverished and mapping how numerous household goods became more widespread. As the book argues, poverty did not necessarily equate to owning very little and living in squalor. In fact, its novel findings show that most of the poor strove to improve their domestic spheres and that their demand for goods was so great that it was a driving force of the industrial revolution.

        Ideas of poverty in the Age of Enlightenment

        by Niall O’Flaherty, Robin Mills

        This collection of essays examines the ways in which poverty was conceptualised in the social, political, and religious discourses of eighteenth-century Europe. It brings together experts with a wide range of expertise to offer pathbreaking discussions of how eighteenth-century thinkers thought about the poor. Because the theme of poverty played important roles in many critical issues in European history, it was central to some of the key debates in Enlightenment political thought throughout the period, including the controversies about sovereignty and representation, public and private charity, as well as questions relating to crime and punishment. The book examines some of the most important contributions to these debates, while also ranging beyond the canonical Enlightenment thinkers, to investigate how poverty was conceptualised in the wider intellectual culture, as politicians, administrators and pamphlet writers grappled with the issue.

        Ottilie von Goethe

        Eine Biographie

        by Ruth Rahmeyer, Ruth Rahmeyer

        Ottilie von Pogwisch, 1796 in Danzig als Tochter eines preußischen Majors geboren, heiratete 1817 Goethes Sohn August. Die anfangs glückliche Ehe, aus der drei Kinder hervorgingen, wurde bald durch die Unvereinbarkeit der Partner und Ottilies hochgespannte Erwartungen an den Charakter des Dichtersohnes getrübt. Ihr herzliches Verhältnis zum verehrten Schwiegervater, verbunden mit großer Fürsorge und einer lebhaften Geselligkeit, blieb auch nach dem Tod ihres Mannes bestehen. Goethes Testament sicherte ihr freie Wohnung und jährlichen Unterhalt zu. In späteren Jahren versuchte sie, an frühere leidenschaftliche Beziehungen wieder anzuknüpfen und erlebte zahlreiche Enttäuschungen. 1872 starb sie vereinsamt in Weimar.Ruth Rahmeyers Biographie, die auf umfassendem und gründlichem Quellenstudium beruht, erscheint hier in einer erweiterten und durch neue Forschungen aktualisierten Neuausgabe.

        Dido, Queen of Carthage

        by Christopher Marlowe

        by Ruth Lunney

        A city burns, and a queen burns for love: Dido, Queen of Carthage re-imagines one of the great legendary stories. The encounter between a wandering hero and an African queen engenders love and loss, eroticism and absurdity, childish simplicity and compelling eloquence. Written for children to perform in the 1580s, Dido is nonetheless a remarkable play, revolutionary in its approach to character, blank verse, and audiences. This volume is the first single-text scholarly edition in English. It is an indispensable resource for scholars, students, and theatre practitioners. The edition features an accessible text, lightly punctuated for ease of reading and speaking. It incorporates new research into authorship (which indicates that Marlowe wrote the play), a detailed analysis of Dido's sources, and a survey of criticism; it assesses the evidence for early performances and provides extensive information about modern productions.

        Practising shame

        Female honour in later medieval England

        by Mary C. Flannery, Anke Bernau, David Matthews

        Practicing shame investigates how the literature of medieval England encouraged women to safeguard their honour by cultivating hypervigilance against the possibility of sexual shame. A combination of inward reflection and outward comportment, this practice of 'shamefastness' was believed to reinforce women's chastity of mind and body, and to communicate that chastity to others by means of conventional gestures. The book uncovers the paradoxes and complications that emerged from these emotional practices, as well as the ways in which they were satirised and reappropriated by male authors. Working at the intersection of literary studies, gender studies and the history of emotions, it transforms our understanding of the ethical construction of femininity in the past and provides a new framework for thinking about honourable womanhood now and in the years to come.
