Iter Press The Prophetess and the Patriarch The Visions of
Book SynopsisPublished for the first time in full, a common woman's writings reveal the startling role she played in England's revolt against the monarchy. In 1649, a seamstress named Elizabeth Poole appeared at the Whitehall debates in London to prophesy in front of Parliament's army shortly after it had defeated the crown in the English civil wars. Invited to help deliberate the fate of Charles I, Poole advised the army to spare the king's life but to put him on trial for tyranny and to enter into a new compact with the people. After her visions proved controversial, she was defamed as a prostitute and a witch. She retaliated by printing her prophecies, along with two new defenses of her original revelations. This collection publishes Poole's pamphlets in full for the first time.

Brandeis University Press The Marital Knot
Book SynopsisA long overdue study of agunot based on exhaustive research in rabbinic sources, memoirs, and communal records. Noa Shashar sheds light on Jewish family life in the early modern era and on the activity of rabbis whose Jewish legal rulings determined the fate of agunot, literally chained women, who were often considered a marginal group. Who were these men and women? How did Jewish society deal with the danger of a woman's becoming an agunah? What kind of reality was imposed on women who found themselves agunot, and what could they do to extricate themselves from their plight? How did rabbinic decisors discharge their task during this period, and what were the outcomes given the fact that the agunot were dependent on the male rabbinic establishment? This study describes the lives of agunot, and by reexamining the halakhic activity concerning agunot in this period, proposes a new assessment of the attitude that decisors displayed toward the freeing of agunot.

Brandeis University Press Making and Unmaking Literature in the Warsaw Lodz
Book SynopsisA study of literature written by Jewish authors while interned in Nazi ghettos emphasizes how authors processed their horrific experiences through poetry and prose. So much Holocaust-era writing was destroyed, and for the most part, we have no way of knowing what was lost along with the very lives of authors. Most of the texts discussed in this book were buried in biscuit tins or milk cans in the Warsaw ghetto's Oyneg Shabes Archive, the massive archival project that documented Jewish life in Poland under German occupation. Making and Unmaking Literature in the Warsaw, Lodz, and Vilna Ghettos shows that we cannot take the survival of such works for granted. It also demonstrates that literature was not an aesthetic offshoot of life within Nazi ghettos, but an intrinsic part of it, both in the reading and writing habits of starving inhabitants and in the ways that literature shaped the perception and reception of their realities. Rose delves into work written from within Nazi ghettoes. While historiographical approaches to Holocaust studies presuppose a neat distinction between reportage, on the one hand, and the vagaries of literature, on the other, Sven-Erik Rose shows that it is misguided to privilege the least literary modes of discourse as closer to the brute reality of these catastrophic events. Literature, he argues, was one of the key frameworks victims used to comprehend their traumatic and ever-changing circumstances. Touching on poetry, short prose, novels, and autobiography by Leyb Goldin, Itzhak Katzenelson, Shmuel Marvil, Yehoshue Perle, Zelman Skalov, and others, Rose explores how the distinction between documentary and literary writing has failed to recognize the ways literature was built into everyday life in the ghettos. The book also takes up Theodor Adorno's famousand widely misreadstatement that writing poetry after Auschwitz is impossible. Rose argues that this dictum has led scholars to neglect poetry written during the Holocausteven though the use of literary genres raised important questions about what it meant to narrate the catastrophic events of ghetto life.

Boydell & Brewer Ltd Quakers in the British Atlantic World,
Book SynopsisExamines the two largest Quaker communities in the early modern British Atlantic World, and scrutinizes the role of Quaker merchants and the business ethics they followed. The book studies the two largest Quaker communities in the early modern British Atlantic World, London and Philadelphia. It looks at the origins of the Society of Friends in mid seventeenth century England and follows its development into a well organised sect with a sophisticated organisational structure spreading across the Atlantic world. The book zooms in on the Quaker communities in these two important port cities, as well as their relationships with non-Quaker inhabitants. It scrutinizes the role of Quaker merchants and the business ethics they followed. Drawing on many unpublished sources, the study is able to portray a mid-eighteenth-century crisis for the Quaker communities when sanctions for offences against the prevailing disciplines in business (fraud, debt, bankruptcy) and marriage increased dramatically. And yet these Quaker communities got likewise caught up in wider political developments across the British Empire. In the course of a series of conflicts affecting colonial Pennsylvania in the mid eighteenth century, the Society of Friends suffered grave reputational damage. The public in England and Pennsylvania began to perceive Quakers as a sect that put its own agenda and interest over the welfare of the colonial population and the Empire. In turn, these developments led to a "Quaker reformation" and Quaker identity became guided by new principles: honesty in business and religious marital endogamy. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of economic and Atlantic history, as well as Eighteenth-Century studies and religious history.Trade ReviewEsther Sahle's book is ground-breaking and troubling in equal measure. It offers all scholars, and particularly those of early modern religion, business, or social history, insights into business, religious, and family networks and their role as powerful, interwoven structures which enabled a small group to have a disproportionate degree of economic power. [...] This is a very significant study and Sahle will no doubt continue to undertake more, equally significant, research in years to come. * CULTURAL AND SOCIAL HISTORY *Esther Sahle's book is an insightful analysis of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Quaker communities in London and Philadelphia, especially Quaker merchants within those communities. -- H-NET REVIEWSSahle takes up an old question: Why did Quakers in England and America prosper, in some cases amassing great wealth? . . . [Sahle] finds that . . . [Quakers] refused to tolerate anything that smacked of questionable business practices and whose moral standing was restored.

Seagull Books Circus Commentary
Book SynopsisAlexander Kluge explores the madcap, multifaceted world of the circus through a global geopolitical lens. The circus has fascinated Alexander Kluge ever since he was a child, and his devotion to it has been preserved throughout his cinematic output and his most recent literary work. In the circus, he finds both the shadow image of work and the epitome of human excellence, from love to war to revolution. As surfaces onto which utopias are projected, these elaborate performances offer a tangible representation of developments within civilization, with its nearly infinite possibilities and sometimes inevitable crashesfrom the excited roar of the crowd to death on the floor of the ring. In Circus Commentary, Kluge's montage of modernities moves back and forth through time and space, expressing his unique mix of fictional and non-fictional reports, histories, and stories through semantic fields, images, and film sequences inserted in the book via QR codes. We encounter a broad panorama of perplexed artists and sophisticated surgeons cavorting alongside fighter pilots, sans-culottes drunk with dreams of omnipotence, and, most importantly, animalsto whose superhuman performances, this book creates a lasting memorial.

Seagull Books London Ltd On the Wrong Side
Book SynopsisA short story collection from Nobel Prize winner J. M. G. Le Clézio offers a poignant and powerful exploration of the lives of the underprivileged and marginalized. J. M. G. Le Clézio's On the Wrong Side, a collection of eight short stories, continues the author's life-long pursuit of granting visibility to the unseen and a voice to the voiceless. Here, the author focuses on the underclasses, primarily children who have been left behind, abandoned, and subjected to unspeakable violence. In these haunting tales, we encounter Maureez Samson, a mistreated orphan from Rodrigues Island, who, thanks to her exceptional voice, becomes a famous singer and defies all expectations; some young Indians in Darién, a region straddling Panama and Colombia, struggle to raise their young son and save their idyllic land from its invasion and destruction by drug lords; Juanico and Chuche, two slave children who are taken in by the community of Saint Kateri Takakwitha after an arduous and perilous journey; and in Nogales, on the border between Mexico and the United States, the street rats, children who cross through the sewers to wreak havoc and perhaps indulge their dreams of life on the other side. In Le Clézio's own words, these stories are not simply meant to reveal or describe the plight of the rejected, but to create in the reader a feeling of revolt in the face of the injustice of what is happening to them.

Seagull Books The Rest Is Slander
Book SynopsisA collection of previously untranslated stories from a master of twentieth-century Austrian literature, Thomas Bernhard. The cold increases with the clarity, said Thomas Bernhard while accepting a major literary prize in 1965. That clarity was the postwar realization that the West's last remaining cultural reference points were being swept away by the ever-greater commodification of humankind. Collecting five stylistically transitional tales by Bernhard, all of which take place in sites of extreme cold, this volume extends that bleak vision of the master Austrian storyteller. In Ungenach, the reluctant heir of an enormous estate chooses to give away his legacy to an assortment of oddballs as he discovers the past of his older brother, who was murdered during a career in futile colonialist philanthropy. In The Weatherproof Cape, a lawyer tries to maintain a sense of familial solidarity with a now-dead client with the help of an unremarkable piece of clothing. Midland in Stilfs ca

Book SynopsisThis volume of essays examines and celebrates how cross-cultural encounters have shaped modern art, a crucial reminder in today's political landscape. In The Local and the Global and Other Essays, K. G. Subramanyan investigates the fate of multiculturalism in a globalized world. He interrogates questions about when art stopped being subservient to the dictates of the calendar and explores how artistic traditions maintain their identity in a global context. Examining how cross-cultural encounters have shaped and absorbed artistic practices across borders, he also discusses the societal and individual role of art and how it has evolved from prehistoric times to modernity. Subramanyan brings his trademark candor, lucidity, and wisdom to these reflections and responses.

Seagull Books London Ltd The Labour of Spirit
Book SynopsisA provocative examination of the fate of autonomous, creative labor under capitalism. Between 1917 and 1919, Max Weber delivered two lectures titled Die geistige Arbeit als Beruf, which we might translate as The Labour of Spirit as Vocation. This weighty formula represented the hope that animated the world of bourgeois culture from the likes of Kant, Goethe, Schiller, Fichte, and Hegel and would later form the earliest threads of revolutionary thought from Feuerbach and Marx. The labor of spirit is creative, autonomous laborhuman labor understood in its fully effectual power. To press for its realization is to liberate all activity from the condition of commanded or alienated work. But the dissolution of the labor of spirit into the capitalist form of production, into the universal machinism that swallows up that science which remains the true engine of development, also ends up delegitimating political authority, whose own foundation lies in the promise of liberation. Massimo Cacciari takes up old questions and confronts them anew: Is the iron cage fated to imprison that labor of spirit that is political praxis? Will the spirit of capitalism end up completely undermining the space of the political? Or are relations between science and politics still thinkable that might free us from our debt as we proceed without means or ends within the techno-economic system?

Seagull Books London Ltd The Immemorial
Book SynopsisA thought-provoking exploration of the fragility of bourgeois identity. Vienna, 1825. News of a sickly, listless boy is making the rounds. In broad daylight, he falls into deep sleep and his personality changes dramatically. While sleeping, he reads, writes, plays cards, challenges his doctors with amusement, and accomplishes the most astonishing of exercises with his eyes closed. A new subject has appeared, a second I has now supplanted the first. Andrea Cavalletti carefully registers the disquieting appearances of this second I in the literature and psychology of the past two centuries. In a context dominated by amnesia and somnambulism, hallucinations and wakeful dreams, the bourgeois subject, whose identity seemed so stable, turns out to be inhabited by masks that elude every grasp, at the mercy of a doubling that can no longer be recomposed. Personalities multiply and do battle, as even life and death exchange roles. And, ultimately, the identity of the Western subject reveals itself as a shade-like, constitutively double figure, that only lives in its weakness and forgetting, in its losses and distractions.
