Publishing on the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth, from acclaimed graphic novelist Kate Evans, author of Red Rosa.

Evans K: Patchwork

Patchwork

A Graphic Biography of Jane Austen

By demonstrating the importance of horrific motifs in Greek and Roman epic, this book challenges existing conceptions of what an epic poem is and of what it means to engage with such a text. Taking the reader through canonical and less-well-known ancient epic, Brockliss argues that contrary to conventional readings, 'the horrific' is central to these texts. In fact, these poems dwell as much if not more on foul displays of human physicality as on depictions of a sublime heroism, prioritize psychological disturbance over tragic suffering, and set the intrusions of unquiet ghosts in tension with celebrations of the safely dead. This book thus offers a fresh perspective on a literary genre that is central both to ancient cultures and to the later western tradition. Alongside happy recollections of past glories, ancient epics offer readers a shocking and immersive experience that confronts them with the bare facts of human physiques and minds. Rather than focusing narrowly on the eminent achievements of a few, horror in epic offers an egalitarian portrait of what makes us human.

In works such as The Mask of Anarchy? and "A Philosophical View of Reform,? Matthew C. Borushko argues, Percy Bysshe Shelley intervenes in the reformist crisis of agency occasioned by the dramatic historical and political violence that characterized Britain during the Romantic period. He shows how Shelley's body or work reconceived the possibility of the political possibilities of art and explores the implications of Shelley's nonviolence for later artists and reformers such as George Bernard Shaw to Mohandas K. Gandhi.

From the French Revolution, Reign of Terror, and Napoleonic Wars abroad to the dramatic social changes wrought by industrialization and political agitation at home, the Romantic age in Britain was characterized by dramatic historical and political violence. As a result, the reform movement of the early nineteenth century faced a crisis of agency, in the wake of both Waterloo and Peterloo, that centered on the role of violence in the hope for social progress. In poems such as The Mask of Anarchy and political writings such as "A Philosophical View of Reform," Matthew C. Borushko argues, Percy Bysshe Shelley intervenes in this reformist crisis of agency with a highly original political program of nonviolence rooted in the redefining of aesthetics as the primary site for a critique of the violence of post-revolutionary Europe. Grounded in the dynamic historical contexts in which Shelley wrote and informed by twentieth-century theory, Shelley’s Romantic Nonviolence shows how Shelley’s body of work reconceived the possibility of the political possibilities of art and explores the implications of Shelley's nonviolence for later artists and reformers such as George Bernard Shaw to Mohandas K. Gandhi.

This biography of Jessica Mitford, fifth of the six famous Mitford Girls, tells the wild and unlikely story of a British aristocrat who became an American Communist, bringing her astonishing self-transformation to life with a riveting, often hilarious, account of trading wealth and status for a life of radical activism. Who could predict that a British aristocrat would so energize American antiwar and civil rights struggles that&nbsp;Time&nbsp;magazine would crown her "Queen of the Muckrakers"?&nbsp;Jessica Mitford, fifth of the six famous "Mitford Girls," was brought up by an eccentric English family to marry well and reproduce her wealth and privilege, not to advocate for the less advantaged. Her five beautiful sisters have been subjects of books and movies dedicated to their naughty, glamorous lives.&nbsp;Jessica-known as Decca-ran away to America to forge a wilder rebel's life. As this richly researched book details, Decca broke the Mitford mold-fighting fascism in the Spanish Civil War, becoming an American Communist and pioneering witty, wildly popular journalism, including her blockbuster&nbsp;The American Way of Death, placing her at the heart of social justice battles. Decca relentlessly injected laughter into her politics, encouraging the activists she influenced to do likewise.&nbsp;From famed baby doctor Benjamin Spock to best friend Maya Angelou, her anti-authoritarian irreverence had a profound impact on American culture. Mining extensive, untapped sources, Kaplan's passionate biography of an unlikely life demonstrates that Decca's social empathy was hard-won and self-taught, a model with particular relevance today and a powerful, modern example of female adventure and freedom.

Kritische Gesamtausgabe

In diesem Band wird erstmals die teils nur noch fragmentarisch erhaltene Korrespondenz Gronemanns rekonstruiert und dadurch sein extensives Beziehungsnetzwerk erschlossen. Unter den Korrespondenzpartnern befanden sich bedeutende Politiker, Schriftsteller und Künstler, darunter u.a. bekannte Zeitgenossen wie die Zionisten Theodor Herzl, Max Nordau, Heinrich Loewe, Chaim Weizmann und David Ben-Gurion, oder die Schriftsteller Arthur Schnitzler, Richard Beer-Hofmann, Kurt Tucholsky, Else Lasker-Schüler, Arnold Zweig, und Shaul Tchernichovsky. Außerdem stand er in Kontakt mit den Künstlern des jiddischen Avantgardetheaters Wilnaer Truppe sowie des späteren hebräischen Nationaltheaters Habima, zu deren erfolgreichen Werdegang Gronemann maßgeblich beitrug. 
 
 Die Kommentare der vorliegenden Ausgabe erschließen das bisher unveröffentlichte Archivmaterial kritisch und kontextualisieren es in der zeitgenössischen und geisteswissenschaftlichen Rezeption.

Sammy Gronemann (1875–1952) is considered one of the foremost Zionist writers of German. This volume is the first to explore Gronemann's correspondence and, through it, his far-reaching network of relationships. His correspondents included important politicians, writers, and artists, such as contemporaries Theodor Herzl, Richard Beer-Hofmann, Albert Einstein, and Theodor Heuss.
