In Shakespeare, memory, and modern Irish literature, Nicholas Taylor-Collins charts the ways that the modern Irish nation is underwritten by Irish writers whose own cultural agency is improved by their engagement with William Shakespeare. Through a wide-ranging theoretical approach, Taylor-Collins privileges forms of intertextual memory that avoid the obvious quotation or explicit reference: this innovating proposal for a 'dismemorial' intertextuality allows readers to read both Shakespeare and the Irish writers with renewed understanding of their craft. In the Introduction, Taylor-Collins establishes the grounds for comparison: both early modern England and modern/contemporary Ireland deploy a commemorative practice reliant on the theatre as a locus. Thereafter Taylor-Collins proceeds to examine the Shakespeare-Ireland connection through ghosts, bodies, and the land. In the first section, an exploration of Hamlet's hauntology enhances readings of J. M. Synge's Playboy of the Western World, James Joyce's Ulysses, and John Banville's Ghosts. The second section explores first how antitheatrical corporal economies in Coriolanus and Ben Jonson's satires re-emerge in Beckett's Three Novels, before moving on to Caithleen in Edna O'Brien's The Country Girls Trilogy as she borrows from 'hysterical' forebears in Othello, The Taming of the Shrew, and The Winter's Tale. The final section explores W. B. Yeats's infatuation with the surface of the land via King Lear and As You Like It, before finishing with Seamus Heaney's rootedness in the land via Hamlet's jumping into Ophelia's grave. For scholars and students of Shakespeare and modern/contemporary Irish literature alike, this book will also appeal to continental theorists.

Shakespeare, Memory, and Modern Irish Literature

“By the end of this feverishly-composed rock 'n' roll masterpiece, you'll be on your feet shouting for an encore.” —Layne Fargo, bestselling author of The Favorites The new novel from the bestselling author of If We Were Villains and Graveyard Shift—a vivid and immersive tale of one woman’s reckless mission to make sense of the events that shattered her childhood and made her who she is. Summer, 1989: ten-year-old Suzanne is drawn like a magnet to her father’s forbidden world of electric guitars and tricked-out cars. When her mother remarries, she jumps at the chance to tag along on the concert tour that just might be Gil and the Kills’ wild ride to glory. But fame has sharper fangs than anybody realized, and as the band blazes up the charts, internal power struggles set Gil and his group on a collision course destined for a bloody reckoning—one shrouded in mystery and lore for decades to come. The only witness to a desperate act of violence, Suzanne spends the next twenty-nine years trying to disappear. She trades the music and mayhem of her youth for the quiet of the suburbs and the company of her mild-mannered husband Rob. But when her father’s sudden death resurrects the troubled past she tried so hard to bury, she leaves it all behind and hits the road in search of answers. Hitching her fate and Gil’s beloved car to two vagabonds who call an old Airstream trailer home, she finds everything she thought she’d lost forever: desire, adventure, and the woman she once wanted to be. But Rob refuses to let her go. Determined to bring her back where she belongs, he chases her across the country—and drives her to a desperation all her own. Drenched in knock-down drag-out rock and roll, Hot Wax is a raucous, breakneck ride to hell and back—where getting lost might be the only way to find yourself and save your soul.

Hot Wax

'[A] whimsical tale of transformation... magic is essential, and Okri can spin it.' Guardian 'Full of rich hallucinatory imagery and enjoyably vibrant symbolism' Irish Times Hearts will be healed and hearts broken, but no one will leave this festival as they arrived. Viv has turned heartbreak into spectacle: a one-night-only masked festival at a French château, marking the anniversary of her first husband's departure. Guests roam the moonlit woods in search of reinvention, all waiting for Madame Sosostris, the elusive clairvoyant of The Waste Land, rumoured to appear after decades in hiding. But as midnight nears, disguises slip, emotions ignite and Viv's carefully planned celebration begins to unravel. Enchanting and unsettling, this midsummer tale explores love, illusion and the strange transformations of a single night.

Literatur und Recht

Vor Gericht sind Zweifel zentral: Richter lassen sie bei Feststellung der Sach- und Rechtslage nicht aufkommen. Parteien streuen sie, indem sie Beweise, Zeugen oder die Unbefangenheit der Richter in Frage stellen. Voreingenommene Richter gefährden den Rechtsgang ebenso wie unschlüssige. In Gayots de Pitaval Causes célèbres et intéressantes sind Zweifel entsprechend allgegenwärtig, wecken das Interesse am literarisch aufbereiteten Aktenmaterial und bilden Spannungsmomente, die das Urteil der Lesenden in der Schwebe halten. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes untersuchen ausgewählte Pitavalgeschichten aus rechtshistorischer und literaturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive.

Look Closer

Shakespeare Retold

Shakespeare's Othello is ingeniously transplanted into a high school setting in this taut story about teenage friendship and racial tension. Arriving at his fourth school in six years, diplomat's son Osei knows he needs an ally. Luckily he hits it off with Dee, the most popular girl in school. But one student can't stand to witness this budding relationship: Ian decides to destroy the friendship between the black boy and the golden girl. By the end of the day, the school and its key players - teachers and pupils alike - will never be the same again. The tragedy of Othello is transposed to a 1970s suburban Washington schoolyard in this powerful drama of alienation, adolescence and friends torn apart. 'A compact and intense read full of twists, turns and intrigue' Daily Express 'New Boy, with its angsty teenagers, racial frictions and a magnificently fleshed out antagonist, is a tense and tight read... A heady rollercoaster of emotions' Observer SHAKESPEARE RETOLD: Time travel. Zombies. Power-hungry media moguls. This is Shakespeare as you've never seen him before: nine iconic plays transformed by the best novelists of our time, with covers by Michael Craig-Martin.

Show yourself who's in charge using the original art of persuasion, backed by contemporary pop culture examples that make transforming your habits and achieving goals easy, even fun-from the New York Times bestselling author of Thank You for Arguing Rhetoric once sat at the centre of elite education. Alexander the Great, Shakespeare and Martin Luther King, Jr. used it to build empires, write deathless literature and inspire democracies. Here, Heinrichs shows us how these persuasive tools, honed over more than three thousand years of use persuading others, can be turned on our most difficult audiences - ourselves. Using techniques invented by the likes of Aristotle and Cicero and deployed by some of history's most persuasive characters, we see how rhetoric can convert the gloomiest of situations into positive ones. Illustrated with examples from history and pop culture - Winston Churchill, Iron Man, Dolly Parton, and the woman who serendipitously invented the chocolate chip cookie - Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion tests the tools of self-persuasion and asks: Can the same techniques that seduce lovers, sell diet books and overturn governments help us achieve our most desired goals? Filled with entertaining and scientific studies that showcase the life-changing power of language, Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion will teach you how to be the most successful person you can be, just by talking to yourself.

Interpreting The Amistad Trials traces the signal importance of interpreters and translators in the famous 19th-century Amistad case and discusses how race, ethnicity, slavery, and colonialism shaped this story. From the recruitment process to the various oral to sign languages that mediated linguistically in the Africans' life inside and outside the courtroom, and from evidentiary documents to fraudulent translations to credible testimonies, Jeanette Zaragoza-De León demonstrates the crucial importance of translation and interpretation in the Amistad plot and outcome. De León examines handwritten letters, pamphlets, newspapers, and judicial files, and adopts a critical race theory and postcolonial lens to analyze these materials. Although these critical interpretations and translations travelled transatlantically via Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and the United States, De León highlights the common thread which also geographically unites Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic as part of the Amistad story. One of the most comprehensive studies of recorded events in the history of interpretation and translation in the Americas, Interpreting The Amistad Trials is a valuable resource for researchers studying coloniality, enslavement, race and ethnic studies and examining how these issues mattered then and now.

How Interpreters and Translators Make and Shape History

Interpreting the Amistad Trials

The British Empire stole a lot of stuff. Much of it still sits in museums, galleries and private collections today, accompanied by calm labels and polite plaques. The reality, however, is far messier. The British Museum alone holds eight million objects, many taken in ways that were anything but legitimate. When award-winning journalist and author Marc Fennell encounters one such item-a mechanical tiger that mauls a British soldier when you turn the handle-he asks the obvious question: What is this? And how on earth did it end up here? With wit, empathy and forensic curiosity, Stuff the British Stole embarks on a globetrotting investigation into the true stories behind some of the world's most famous-and infamous-museum pieces. From the pyramids of Egypt and Tuscan marble quarries to Kenyan torture chambers, these objects reveal histories of power, violence, resistance and survival that continue to shape our world. Part travelogue, part true crime, part reckoning with empire, this book strips away the plaques to uncover the stories museums rarely tell-and challenges us to see the past, and ourselves, like never before.

Stuff the British Stole

'A perspective-altering take on a world we usually think of in far more domestic terms. A ground-breaking masterwork' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE 'Triumphant . . . Cinematic . . . No one who reads this book will ever see Tudor and Stuart history in the same light again' JOHN GUY, LITERARY REVIEW 'Many books claim to be a new way of looking at history, but this book truly is' FINANCIAL TIMES The prize-winning author uncovers the revelatory global story of Tudor and Stuart England - told through the merchants, migrants, sailors, travellers and spies who helped forge a nation. The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries forged a powerful image of England - Shakespeare's 'scepter'd isle', proud and apart, defined by royal spectacle and myth. But beneath this familiar narrative of ruffs and gowns, kings and queens, lies a more complex and connected reality. England at this time was far from insular. Travelling in and out of the country were Venetian glassmakers with English wives, African innkeepers and Native American envoys. There were people like the Flemish artist Levina Teerlinc, probably the only painter to be employed by four English monarchs. There was William Adams, a Kentish navigator who became Japan's first English samurai. And there was Elizabeth Key, daughter of an enslaved mother in the colony in Virginia, who battled in the courts for herself and her son. Drawing on extensive archival research, attentive to the textures of daily life, yet alive to the sweep of history, This Little World offers a startlingly new, globally resonant vision of England's past and what it meant to be English. It is a story of a nation in the making - on the cusp of empire - told through the traces of those often written out of it. In reframing England's story within a wider world, it challenges us to rethink some of our most fundamental ideas: about nationhood, about identity, and above all, about belonging.
