Ave Maria University Press Shakespeare the Papist
Book SynopsisShakespeare, who wrote at the beginning of the long period in which the Catholic faith as violently suppressed in the British Isles, has long enjoyed an iconic status. Some readers have interpreted him as an early agnostic, expressing modern angst about whether anything exists besides ""this mortal coil"" that seems to be merely ""full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."" In recent years, however, thanks largely to the work of Peter Milward, close study of Shakespeare's plays has raised the question: Was Shakespeare in fact a believing Catholic? To this question, which radically changes the way that Shakespeare's plays should be read, Milward here offers, in his definitive study of the topic, a resounding ""Yes.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Emotions in Non-Fictional Representations of the
Book SynopsisThis book addresses the distinct representations of emotions in non-fictional texts from the seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century (1600-1850). Focusing on memoirs, autobiographies, correspondences and conduct manuals, it argues that in those writings, passions and emotions are differently expressed than in fiction. It also offers a comparative study of texts from cultures as diverse as English, French, Korean and Chinese, and of emotions in relation to genre, identity, and morality during significant cultural transformation of the early modern period. This book is distinctive in its choice of non-fictional genres, its period, and its cross-cultural approach. It can benefit scholars interested in exploring emotion as a historical and cultural product, and in enriching their knowledge of an emerging scholarly direction: studies in self-narratives (autobiography, memoirs, dream narratives, letters, etc.) often insufficiently explored in earlier historical periods.Table of ContentsPart 1 : Encounters and Crossings.- 1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Blake and Lucretius: The Atomistic Materialism of
Book SynopsisThis book demonstrates the way in which William Blake aligned his idiosyncratic concept of the Selfhood – the lens through which the despiritualised subject beholds the material world – with the atomistic materialism of the Epicurean school as it was transmitted through the first-century BC Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura. By addressing this philosophical debt, this study sets out a threefold re-evaluation of Blake’s work: to clarify the classical stream of Blake’s philosophical heritage through Lucretius; to return Blake to his historical moment, a thirty-year period from 1790 to 1820 which has been described as the second Lucretian moment in England; and to employ a new exegetical model for understanding the phenomenological parameters and epistemological frameworks of Blake’s mythopoeia. Accordingly, it is revealed that Blake was not only aware of classical atomistic cosmogony and sense-based epistemology but that he systematically mapped postlapsarian existence onto an Epicurean framework.Table of Contents1 Introduction 2 The Epicurean and Lucretian Slur: Francis Bacon 3 The Epicurean and Lucretian Slur: Isaac Newton 4 Simulacra and the Selfhood 5 Urizenic Phantasiae 6 The Cosmic Chains of the Machina Mundi

Springer International Publishing AG Points of Entanglement in French Caribbean Travel
Book SynopsisThis open-access book investigates Francophone Caribbean literature by exploring and analyzing French seventeenth-century travel writings. The book argues for a literary re-examination of the representation of the early colonial Caribbean by proposing theoretical linkages to contemporary Caribbean theories of creolization and archipelagic thinking. Using Édouard Glissant’s notion of points of entanglement, Christina Kullberg claims that the historical, social, and political messiness of the Caribbean seventeenth century make for complex representations and expressions, generating textual instability despite the travelers’ apparent desires to domesticate the islands. Taking a synoptic approach to travel narratives in French from 1620 up to the publication of Labat’s Nouveau voyage aux Isles de l’Amérique in 1722, Kullberg examines textual instances where the islands and the peoples of this period disrupt and unsettle dominant French narratives and enter productively into the construction of knowledge and the representations of the region. Kullberg’s contribution is to read French early modern travels in situ as shaped by the archipelagic geography, its history and social formations in order to interrogate both the construction and the limitations of discourses of power.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Lessing und die Folgen
Book SynopsisDie Geschichte des modernen deutschen Dramas beginnt mit Lessing. Gleichwohl gilt er als Autor, der an einer Schwelle steht: Er bereitet den Klassikern den Weg, bleibt aber hinter ihnen zurück. Lessing ist der „Vorklassiker“ der deutschen Literatur, gerühmt und vereinnahmt als Kämpfer für die Nation und das Bürgertum, die Wahrheit und die Toleranz. Robert Vellusig kontrastiert die an Missverständnissen reiche Wirkungsgeschichte Lessings mit seinem facettenreichen Werk und porträtiert ihn als dichtenden Pfarrerssohn und Genie der Kritik, publizistisch versierten Intellektuellen und führenden Vertreter einer Aufklärung, die ihren Namen verdient.Trade Review“... Sehr anregend geschrieben und nicht nur für Germanisten interessant sondern für alle, die sich fragen, worin die bis heute bestehende Bedeutung von Lessings Dramen und Werk besteht. Dieses Buch gibt in aller Kürze (ohne zu verkürzen!) Antworten darauf.” (Frank Seeger, in: ekz-Informationsdienst, Heft 30, 2023)Table of ContentsDas Werk.- Die Folgen.

Uniwersytet Jagiellonski, Wydawnictwo Eyes to Wonder, Tongue to Praise – Volume in
Book SynopsisThis book is a collection of articles written for Professor Marta Gibinska by her colleagues and friends, from universities both in Poland and abroad. The texts presented in this volume cover a wide spectrum of topics. Part I, devoted to Shakespeare, comprises wide-ranging work from renowned specialists in the field: studies on historical background, sources, theatrical, screen and literary reception, as well as translation. Part II contains articles which deal with multiple authors, genres and perspectives, but are uniformly passionate and insightful.The title Eyes to Wonder, Tongue to Praise, a poetic phrase borrowed from Shakespeare, conveys what seems to be a defining quality of both the contributors to this volume and its recipient: namely, the ability to translate keen appreciation of literature not into speechless awe but eloquent praise, combined with the generosity to share it with others.

Uniwersytet Jagiellonski, Wydawnictwo Shakespeare: His Infinite Variety – Celebrating
Book SynopsisThe essays included in this volume attempt to answer, directly or indirectly, the following questions connected with Shakespeare’s popularity worldwide. Can we appropriate Enobarbus’s fascination with Cleopatra, borrowed for the motto of this volume: “age cannot wither Shakespeare, or custom stale”? What makes it so that his works do not “cloy” their recipients’ appetite, but instead constantly whet it for more? Can we still talk about Shakespeare’s “infinite variety” and how are we to understand this epithet in the twenty-first century? Does this opinion hold in the context of the international reception of his works? Why does he still enjoy such an exciting career—with his works still in active circulation—even though he died in 1616? How is it possible for works written with a quill over four hundred years ago by a man in ruffs and tights to resonate with the hearts and minds of contemporary recipients all over the world?Trade ReviewIt might appear that everything has been already said about Shakespeare, and yet new theatrical productions show how well Shakespeare’s plays function in new contexts and surprising interpretations. The great asset of Shakespeare: His Infinite Variety is its wide historical and geographical range – that is, from the time of the Bard himself to the latest metamorphoses of meanings that new electronic media has made available. Every reader, depending on his/her age and prior experience with Shakespeare, is at a different moment of this great historical-theoretical continuum of world culture. Everyone can also begin one’s own intellectual journey through cultural history – any time, any place. Despite the once popular but now outdated claim, history has not ended. This volume testifies to the benefits of combining historical perspective in its fairly elementary version, which is a linear sequence of events, with an in-depth analysis of the transformations in understanding, exhibiting, and using (appropriating) Shakespeare’s works in our rapidly changing reality. -- Marta Wiszniowska-Majchrzyk, professor emerita, Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw

Oxford University Press Pocket Maps and Public Poetry in the English
Book SynopsisKatarzyna Lecky explores how early modern British poets paid by the state adapted inclusive modes of nationhood charted by inexpensive, small-format maps. She explores chapbooks (''cheapbooks'') by Edmund Spenser, Samuel Daniel, Ben Jonson, William Davenant, and John Milton alongside the portable cartography circulating in the same retail print industry. Domestic pocket maps were designed for heavy use by a broad readership that included those on the fringes of literacy. The era''s de facto laureates all banked their success as writers appealing to this burgeoning market share by drawing the nation as the property of the commonwealth rather than the Crown.This book investigates the accessible world of small-format cartography as it emerges in the texts of the poets raised in the expansive public sphere in which pocket maps flourished. It works at the intersections of space, place, and national identity to reveal the geographical imaginary shaping the flourishing business of cheap print. Its placement of poetic economies within mainstream systems of trade also demonstrates how cartography and poetry worked together to mobilize average consumers as political agents. This everyday form of geographic poiesis was also a strong platform for poets writing for monarchs and magistrates when their visions of the nation ran counter to the interests of the government.Trade Reviewan impressive book ... This cogent and original book makes a signal contribution to our understanding of early modern print markets and publics. * David J.

Oxford University Press, USA Writing Under Tyranny English Literature and the Henrician Reformation
Book SynopsisWriting Under Tyranny is both a study of the birth of Renaissance literature in England and a history of the reign of Henry VIII told through and around the lives of its poets and writers. It shows how political tyranny prompted resistance in and through literature.Trade ReviewReview from previous edition Walker's readings invest the literature of the early sixteenth century with a complex political urgency that is more often associated with Elizabethan texts. This thoroughly researched and well-written book asks us to rethink the standard narrative of sixteenth-century literary history... For scholars in the fields of literature and history, Writing under Tyranny is destined to become a classic. * Journal of British Studies *A new book by Greg Walker... is a major event. * Reviews in History *... an exceptionally good book... will surely remain an important work * Lucy Wooding, English Historical Review *Walker's ability to invoke very specific points of reference in clarifying the contemporary significance of his texts is ... remarkable ... This is an important book, which deserves to have a profound influence upon the ways in which we understand the literature of the Henrician period. * Roderick J. Lyall, Cahiers Elisabethains *Walker gives voice to a fascinating dialogue between literature and politics... in a compelling work ... This is an actively engaging book, required reading for anyone interested in the relation between literature and politics, and a welcome addition to the ranks of intellectual history. * Alessandra Petrina, Renaissance Quarterly *Walker's strength is that he understands and engages intimately with the culture of a generation schooled in the rhetorical tradition... Walker is a most acute critic of the literature of an age when most published writers were active politicians and most politicians were writers. * Patrick Collinson, London Review of Books *... a monumental achievement that furthers our understanding of an area that Walker has done much to illuminate over the years. The careful and scrupulous analysis of a whole range of texts that deserve to be better known, and more meticulously read, has resulted in a serious, scholarly and, in places, profound work, well written throughout. * Andrew Hadfield, Times Literary Supplement *Table of Contents1.

Oxford University Press, USA On Shakespeare and Early Modern Literature Essays
Book SynopsisJohn Kerrigan is one of the foremost critics of English literature. This richly informed collection brings together his essays on such major figures as Sir Philip Sidney and Milton, but also less celebrated writers, including Thomas Carew and - in a new piece - William Drummond, to reconfigure the familiar and help extend the canon. Shakespeare looms large; his plays and poems, and his influence on Keats, are the subject of half the book. But themes and issues are pursued from the 1580s to the late Restoration. Kerrigan acutely reassesses the nature of early modern texts-their production and reconstruction by writers, printers, theatre companies, and readers-and their relationship with socio-political circumstance.This original and eloquent book shows what criticism can do when closely engaged with verbal fabric and form. Always alert to the scholarly and theoretical debates that have raged within literary studies, it concentrates on drawing out the distinctive qualities of poems and plays.Trade ReviewReview from previous edition Though elegantly written, Kerrigan's essays are densely argued and formidably erudite . . . The quality of Kerrigan's work sets a standard for others to aim at. * Neil Rhodes, Around the Globe *These essays consolidate Kerrigan's position as one of the outstanding scholars of the English Renaissance of his generation * E.

Taylor & Francis Andrew Marvell Loss and aspiration home and
Book SynopsisThis monograph studies how, across the Folio of 1681, Marvell's poems engage not merely with different kinds of loss and aspiration, but with experiences of both that were, in mid-seventeenth-century England, disturbingly new and unfamiliar. It particularly examines Marvell's preoccupation with the search for home, and with redefining the homeland, in times of civil upheaval. In doing so it traces his progression from being a poet who plays sophisticatedly with received myth to being one who is a national mythmaker in rivalry with his poetic contemporaries such as Waller and Davenant. Although focusing primarily on poems in the Folio of 1681, this book considers those poems in relation to others from the Marvell canon, including the Latin poems and the satires from the reign of Charles II. It closely considers them as well in relation to verse by poets from the classical past and the European, especially English, present.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction; The mower poems; Lovers, gardens, paradise: the nymph and the coy mistress; Lovers, gardens, paradise: Bermudas and The Garden; The religious verse; The royalist poems and An Horatian Ode; Home and homeland in Upon Appleton House, To My Lord Fairfax; Conclusion; Select bibliography; Index.
