De Gruyter Handbook of Stemmatology: History, Methodology,
Book SynopsisStemmatology studies aspects of textual criticism that use genealogical methods to analyse a set of copies of a text whose autograph has been lost. This handbook is the first to cover the entire field, encompassing both theoretical and practical aspects of traditional as well as modern digital methods and their history. As an art (ars), stemmatology’s main goal is editing and thus presenting to the reader a historical text in the most satisfactory way. As a more abstract discipline (scientia), it is interested in the general principles of how texts change in the process of being copied. Thirty eight experts from all of the fields involved have joined forces to write this handbook, whose eight chapters cover material aspects of text traditions, the genesis and methods of traditional "Lachmannian" textual criticism and the objections raised against it, as well as modern digital methods used in the field. The two concluding chapters take a closer look at how this approach towards texts and textual criticism has developed in some disciplines of textual scholarship and compare methods used in other fields that deal with "descent with modification". The handbook thus serves as an introduction to this interdisciplinary field.

Peter Lang AG The Austrian Manuscript Cookery Book in the Long
Book SynopsisThe question of what a manuscript cookery book is or can be is still far from settled. Based on detailed archival research, this book establishes a basic typology of manuscript cookery books, with a focus on the function they served in the life of their owners: memory aid, manual of practical instruction, book in its own right, and showpiece. The author also investigates the work situation of women through an analysis of the educational role of the manuscript cookery book and its function as a tool for the professional cook. It represents a substantial contribution towards closing gaps in knowledge and material relating to reading and writing in eighteenth-century Austria.Table of ContentsThe form and function of the eighteenth-century Austrian manuscript cookery book: the memory aid; the manual of practical instruction, serving as a reference manual and a teaching aid; the book in its own right, equal to a printed book; the prestige object, made or commissioned to own a showpiece.

Peter Lang AG A New History of Latvian Literature: The Long
Book SynopsisThis volume is the outcome of a co-ordinated effort of a group of scholars who set themselves the task of reconsidering nineteenth-century Latvian literary history. We are seeking to pluralize literary history studies by looking for novel insights into Latvian literature and contributing to the research of East-Central European literary cultures. Scholars from diverse but related research fields (literature, history, art history, and folklore studies) scan the nineteenth-century cultural scene from various intersecting perspectives, taking into account important links between literature, oral culture and visual art, changes in reading practices, periodicals, and the book market as well as the complex interactions between social transformations and aesthetic developments.Table of ContentsFrom the Established Hierarchies of the Popular Enlightenment to the Hybridity of Cultural Communication: Learned Societies, Media, and the Changing Practices of the Everyday Life – The Highly Praised Rise of Agency and its Fallacies: the Latvian National Movement and Shifting Patterns in Society and Literary Culture – On the Threshold of Modernity: Literary Culture of the Fin de siècle and Its Reception

Manohar Publishers and Distributors Periodicals, Readers and the Making of a Modern
Book SynopsisIn the decades between the 1870s and 1920s, literary periodicals (sahitya patrika), much like the newspapers and the books, became popular among the middle-class Bengali homes both as an affordable recreation for leisure hours, and as a major vehicle for the circulation of ideas in the public domain. Periodicals, Readers and the Making of a Modern Literary Culture: Bengal at the Turn of the Twentieth Century begins by looking at the logistics of the production and circulation of periodicals that were oriented towards a widening readership market. Given their easily understood nature, their capacity for sustaining debates and adaptability by readers with diverse reading competencies, periodicals became the preferred means for dispensing modern education and enjoyment through the vernacular.
