View Rights PortalWashington Irving ist der »Erfinder« und erster Vertreter der amerikanischen Short story. Vor allem seine unheimlichen Geschichten wie »Die Legende von Sleepy Hollow« und »Rip van Winkle« sind bis heute äußerst populär und wurden mehrfach verfilmt. »Sleepy Hollow« erzählt die Geschichte eines kopflosen Reiters, der ein ganzes Dorf in Angst und Schrecken versetzt. Niemand, der ihm begegnet, kommt mit dem Leben davon. Die Sammlung enthält zudem die Storys »Rip van Winkle«, »Der Geisterbräutigam«, »Die Sage vom arabischen Sterndeuter« sowie »Die Sage vom Vermächtnis des Mauren«.
Hyde Park (1632) is one of the best-loved comedies of James Shirley, considered to be one of the most important Caroline dramatists. The play showcases strong female characters who excel at rebuking the outlandish courtship of various suitors. Shirley's comic setting, London's Hyde Park, offers ample opportunity for witty dialogue and sport - including foot and horse races - across three love plots. This is the first critical edition of the play, including a wide-ranging introduction and extensive commentary and textual notes. Paying special attention to the culture of Caroline London and its stage, the Revels Plays edition unpicks Shirley's politics of courtship and consent while also underlining the play's dynamics of class and power. A detailed performance history traces productions from 1632, across the Restoration to the present day, including that of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1987. A textual history of the play's first quarto determines how it was printed and what relationship Hyde Park has to other texts by Shirley from the same publishers.

Es gibt in der antiken Literatur keine schönere Liebesgeschichte als diese: Daphnis und Chloe wachsen als Findelkinder auf der Insel Lesvos im Ägäischen Meer auf. Sie hüten dort die Ziegen, leben bei ihren Pflegeeltern, wachsen allmählich heran. Chloe fühlt sich von Daphnis angezogen, aber recht verstehen können beide nicht, was ihnen geschieht. Dann wird die Insel von Piraten heimgesucht, Chloe entführt. Wird Daphnis seine Freundin retten können? Der antike Liebes- und Abenteuerroman hat bis heute unzählige Leserinnen und Leser entzückt, war Vorlage für Gemälde, Opern und Filme. In der Insel-Bücherei erscheint der Text mit den zauberhaften Illustrationen der großen Tierbildhauerin Renée Sintenis. Eine buchkünstlerische und literarische Wiederentdeckung!
