Literature & Literary StudiesDecember 2000Contemporary British poetry and the city
by Peter Barry, Kim Latham
Though poets have always written about cities, the commonest critical categories (pastoral poetry, nature poetry, Romantic poetry, Georgian poetry, etc.) have usually stressed the rural, so that poetry can seem irrelevant to a predominantly urban populati. Explores a range of contemporary poets who visit the 'mean streets' of the contemporary urban scene, seeking the often cacophonous music of what happens here. Poets discussed include: Ken Smith, Iain Sinclair, Roy Fisher, Edwin Morgan, Sean O'Brien, Ciaran Carson, Peter Reading, Matt Simpson, Douglas Houston, Deryn Rees-Jones, Denise Riley, Ken Edwards, Levi Tafari, Aidan Hun, and Robert Hampson. Approaches contemporary poetry within a broad spectrum of personal, social, literary, and cultural concerns. Includes 'loco-specific' chapters, on cities including Hull, Liverpool, London, and Birmingham, with an additional chapter on 'post-industrial' cities such as Belfast, Glasgow and Dundee. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2007Martha Gellhorn: The war writer in the field and in the text
by Kate McLoughlin, Martin Hargreaves
Martha Gellhorn was the doyenne of twentieth century war correspondence. Opinionated, honest and unafraid, she covered conflicts from the Spanish Civil War to Reagan's wars in Central America in the 1980s. Martha Gellhorn: the war writer in the field and in the text is the first critical study of her Second World War fiction and journalism. Often overlooked in accounts of war literature is the writer's precise position in relation to battle and his or her resultant standing in the text. Kate McLoughlin traces Gellhorn's daring attempts to access the war zone and her constructions of the woman war correspondent in her despatches, novels, short stories and play. Drawing on unpublished letters, close attention is given to Gellhorn's rivalry with Ernest Hemingway (the two were married from 1940 to 1945) over reaching the Normandy beaches on D-Day and its textual outcome in the pages of Collier's magazine. McLoughlin goes on to examine Gellhorn's increasingly negative portrayals of the glamorous female war reporter and to suggests why such disillusionment might have set in. ;

September 2023Die leeren Schränke
Das Debüt der Nobelpreisträgerin – erstmals auf Deutsch
by Annie Ernaux, Sonja Finck
An einem Sonntag im Jahr 1961 sitzt die zwanzigjährige Literaturstudentin Denise Lesur in ihrem Zimmer und wartet – dass ihr Körper die Abtreibung vollzieht, die eine Engelmacherin im Verborgenen eingeleitet hat. Der gebildete, bourgeoise, selbstgewisse Marc hat Denise auf die Nachricht der Schwangerschaft hin direkt verlassen. Und das Milieu, das er verkörpert, hätte sich auch nie ganz in ihrem Körper beheimaten können. Während sie also wartet, denkt sie über ihre Kindheit und Jugend nach: Zerrissen zwischen dem Elternhaus – obgleich stolze Épicerie-Besitzer sind ihre Eltern den bescheidenen, ländlichen Verhältnissen der Herkunft nie wirklich entronnen – und den Mitschülerinnen jener besseren Schulen, auf die ihre guten Leistungen sie befördert hatten, fühlt sich Denise von beiden Seiten stets abgestoßen. Vulgär und wütend, voller Ablehnung gegen die bürgerlichen Angepasstheiten – Annie Ernaux umkreist in Die leeren Schränke ein frühes einschneidendes Ereignis, das ihr gesamtes Leben prägen wird. Und erfindet dafür eine völlig neuartige, aufwühlende literarische Form.

The portrait and the English country house in the long eighteenth century
by Gill Perry, Kate Retford, Jordan Vibert
This book explores the rich but understudied relationship between English country houses and the portraits they contain. It features essays by well-known scholars such as Alison Yarrington, Gill Perry, Kate Retford, Harriet Guest, Emma Barker and Desmond Shawe-Taylor. Works discussed include grand portraits, intimate pastels and imposing sculptures. Moving between residences as diverse as Stowe, Althorp Park, the Vache, Chatsworth, Knole and Windsor Castle, it unpicks the significance of various spaces - the closet, the gallery, the library - and the ways in which portraiture interacted with those environments. It explores questions around gender, investigating narratives of family and kinship in portraits of women as wives and daughters, but also as mistresses and celebrities. It also interrogates representations of military heroes in order to explore the wider, complex ties between these families, their houses, and imperial conflict. This book will be essential reading for all those interested in eighteenth-century studies, especially for those studying portraiture and country houses. ;

September 2019Die Walliser Vierzeiler/Les Quatrains Valaisans
Deutsch und französisch
by Rainer Maria Rilke, Gerhard Falkner, Nora Matocza, Christophe Mitlehner
Auf der Suche nach einem neuen Wohnsitz bereiste Rainer Maria Rilke im Sommer 1919 auch den Kanton Wallis, wo er sich nur wenige Jahre später dauerhaft niederließ. Von Anfang an, so bezeugen es zahlreiche Briefe, war Rilke eingenommen von dem breiten, von Hochgebirgsketten flankierten Tal. »Welches Land«, schrieb er 1921, »hat so viele Einzelheiten in so großem Zusammenhang; es ist wie der Schlußsatz einer Beethoven-Symphonie.« Und im selben Jahr heißt es in einem anderen Brief: »Dieses Wallis … ist eine unvergleichliche Landschaft.« Im Spätsommer 1924 entstand in französischer Sprache der Zyklus der Quatrains Valaisans, der Walliser Vierzeiler. In ihrer Übertragung realisieren Gerhard Falkner und Nora Matocza den konsequenten Endreim des Originals erstmals auch in deutscher Sprache.
