Queer Gothic

An Edinburgh Companion

Henry James's experience of drama began in the New York theatres of his 1850s childhood; in Europe he became familiar with the London theatre and the Théâtre-Français in Paris. He went on to experiment continuously with the 'scenic art' in his fiction, and to write plays himself. This complete collection of James's essays and reviews on drama discusses a range of theatre, including productions of Shakespeare, Tennyson, 'well-made' French plays and early performances of Ibsen. In addition, he characterises some of the great performers of the day, including Irving, Terry, Kemble, Ristori, Coquelin and Salvini. Readers will find James's texts as they first appeared, with a wealth of editorial support, which evokes the colourful world of late Victorian theatre. Many of the items included have not previously been available in a scholarly edition. The editorial apparatus includes a general introduction, a chronology, a textual variants section, and a biographical guide to actors.

The Complete Writings of Henry James on Art and Drama: Volume 2, Drama

Johann Hinrich Claussen führt in diesem Buch durch die Geschichte des Kirchenbaus, von den ersten Hauskirchen über die grandiosen Kathedralen des Mittelalters bis heute. Sein einzigartiger Kirchen(ver)führer für Jung und Alt öffnet auf ganz elementare Weise die Augen für die Schönheit und den tieferen Sinn der christlichen Gotteshäuser. Kirchen prägen unsere Städte und Dörfer. Auf Reisen werden sie besucht und bewundert. Aber vielen Menschen geben sie zunehmend Rätsel auf. Wie wurden die Kirchen gebaut? Warum sind Taufbecken und Kanzel mal so und mal anders platziert? Wozu dienen Bilder und Altäre? Johann Hinrich Claussen erzählt die Geschichte von neun beispielhaften Kirchen und erklärt so, wie Kirchen funktionieren, sei es für Gebet und Gottesdienst oder als Zufluchtsstätte und politisches Herrschaftszeichen. Elegant und kurzweilig verknüpft er dabei Kunstgeschichte, theologische Deutung, Politik und Frömmigkeitsgeschichte und lässt nicht nur Gläubige Kirchen mit anderen Augen sehen.

'Magical ... truly original ... Writing of people who limited themselves and died of it, Als has overcome limits' The New York Times Book Review What are the forces that shape us? Hilton Als's brilliant, now-classic meditation on gender, race and personal identity in America In The Women, Hilton Als explores-with breath taking originality-the role of sexual and racial identity in marginalized lives. With a blend of fact and fiction, Als brings to vivid life a number of extraordinary characters, including: his mother, a singular woman whose West Indian heritage and determination inspired her son to write; Malcolm X's mother, whose mixed-race background and eventual descent into madness contributed to her son's burgeoning misogyny and fear; brilliant, Harvard-educated Dorothy Dean, who deeply empathized with white gay men; and Owen Dodson, teacher and poet, who played an important role in the author's development as a gay man, and thinker. Combining memoir, cultural history, social theory and storytelling, The Women is a profoundly innovative work which has inspired a generation of writers. Here, Als submits both racial and sexual stereotypes to scrutiny, showing 'no mercy but every tenderness'. The results are exhilarating. The Women is that rarest of books: a memorable work of self-investigation that creates a form of all its own.

The Women

On 3 July 1930, a maid discovered the dead body of her employer on the floor of the sitting room in an upmarket apartment in Temple, London. The victim was 37-year-old Sidney Russell Cooke, mysteriously shot through the stomach by a hunting rifle. He was the husband of Titanic Captain Edward Smith's only daughter, Helen, known to friends as 'Mel'. Unknown to many, he was also an MI5 spy, described as a 'prototype James Bond' - and the esteemed Cambridge economist John Maynard Keynes' lover. Never before published private letters and family photographs tell the true, untold story of a legendary captain, the mysterious death of a British spy and an inspirational daughter who stepped out of the shadow of misfortune to carve her own path. By the time Mel was 49 she had lost her father, mother, husband, son, and daughter, all in unusual circumstances. Yet she would become a pilot, a driver of fast cars, an artist's muse and collector of fine art, living within a coterie of suffragettes, politicians, Russian spies, yachtsmen, gay lovers and the fabulously wealthy.

Through private letters, family photographs and archival documents, the untold story of the tragic and inspirational legacy of Titanic’s legendary Captain E.J.Smith and his only daughter Mel.

Very Short Introductions

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring From the motorcar to the radio, modern technology radically transformed urban life by the first decade of the twentieth century. As one of Western Europe's least industrialized countries, Italy appeared impervious to such developments. It was this state of affairs at which the Futurist movement took aim. With its founding in 1909, the poet and impresario F.T. Marinetti called for a revitalization of aesthetic expression by means of "movement and aggression." A growing cadre of Futurist painters, poets, authors, and musicians exchanged Italy's cultural patrimony for new technologies, media, and metaphors, championing machine-propelled speed and its salutary hazards. Cubist painting, collage, and sculpture lent the Futurist campaign a revolutionary style to match its rhetorical fervor. Yet whereas Cubism remained a revolution of artistic form, Futurism sought to shatter the boundaries between art and life itself. Indeed, the movement's challenge to twentieth-century culture lay not in any specific set of images or objects, but a more comprehensive revolution of sensibility. By the mid-1910s there circulated several dozen Futurist proclamations on everything from men's clothing to set design, photography to film, dance to politics. That political impetus proved relentlessly paradoxical in origin and upshot. From its base in Milan, Futurist activity spread throughout the entire peninsula, while related movements emerged almost immediately in Moscow, Lisbon, Tiblisi, and Tokyo. Prefiguring and then propagandizing Fascist imperialism, Futurism also galvanized a range of progressive modernist phenomena. More than a century later, the "activist model" of the Futurist avant-garde remains deeply fraught in its historical implications. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

From the motorcar to the radio, modern technology radically transformed urban life by the first decade of the twentieth century. This Very Short Introduction explores the ideas, works, key figures, and development of the Futurist movement in Italy and beyond, in the context of the turmoil and rapid change of the early 20th Century.

Malleable and True: A Hybrid Craft Anthology, the first publication of the Brink Books imprint, is a dynamic collection for readers, writers, and educators that explores the complexity and craft of hybrid writing. An unparalleled project, the anthology features work from past contributors such as Arisa White, Gyasi Hall, Elissa Washuta, Sarah Minor, Wendy Cheng, Beth Ann Fennelly, Victoria Chang, Bennett Sims, Elizabeth McTernan, Granville Carroll, and Anna Joy Springer. In this anthology, curiosity is the driving force, as select contributors from Brink Literary Journal's first ten issues re-engage with their previously published pieces in three ways, offering new work, craft prompts, and reflections on hybrid writing: <ul><li>ENGAGE: Alongside the original piece, you'll find new work that engages with the original in a fresh and meaningful way, such as updates to the original piece, process notes, new pieces that are connected to the original, and so on.</li><li>GENERATE: To foster engagement and exploration, each contributor has provided generative prompts related to their work and hybrid writing in general. This empowers readers and educators to delve deeper into the world of hybrid writing, sparking creativity and dialogue.</li><li>REFLECT: Hybrid work is notoriously slippery and hard to define. That's why we've asked our contributors to share their reflections on what hybrid writing means to them, providing valuable insight into its diverse forms and potentials.</li></ul>

Death Comes for the Archbishop

Die Arbeit ist im Forschungsfeld der Komplementarität von Medizin und Literatur verortet und fragt danach, in welchem kommunikativen Verhältnis das medizinische Spezialwissen und das Erfahrungswissen in literarischen Texten zueinander stehen. Mit der Fokussierung auf die Spezifika der wechselseitigen Beobachtung von Medizin und Literatur und der Repräsentation von Spezialwissen mit literarischen Mitteln wird der Bereich der Interdiskursivitätsforschung betreten. Die Interdiskursanalysen beziehen sich auf Texte aus dem Gattungsspektrum der Pathographien bzw. Autopathographien, in denen vordergründig persönliches Erleben von Krankheiten verhandelt wird. Gleichsam verleiht es früheren Erfahrungen und Erinnerungen eine neue Bedeutung, was zur Neuverhandlung der eigenen Identität anregt. In diesen Reflexionen stellt das Spezialwissen der Medizin jedoch keinen unbedeutenden Aspekt dar. Beide Aspekte in der entsprechenden Gewichtung bilden den treibenden Mechanismus des Erzählens.

'All his powers were in decline; the only thing growing stronger in him was the conviction that all this could not last much longer, that his demise was imminent.' The Buddenbrooks (1900) was Thomas Mann's first major success. It draws on his own family history and on his vivid memories of growing up in the commercial town of Lübeck in North Germany. The narrative traces the decline of a wealthy, established merchant family, from their height during the last decades of the nineteenth century, to the onset of uncertainty in the modern world. The novel displays Mann's interest in decline as a psychological process, where artistic sensibility weakens the ruthless business instincts that founded the Buddenbrooks' prosperity. At the centre is the reluctant businessman Thomas Buddenbrook, a tragic figure who conscientiously dedicates himself to a way of life that gradually undermines him. Mike Mitchell's new English translation is accompanied by Ritchie Robertson's introduction and explanatory notes, illuminating the cultural, philosophical, and personal context of the novel's composition. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

'impossible here, absurd, depraved, ludicrous and yet sacred, still honourable, even here: "I love you!"' This volume contains a generous selection of the short fiction Thomas Mann published in the years 1897 to 1912, after which he turned to larger-scale projects. The acknowledged classic among the early shorter fiction is the novella Death in Venice, in which Mann develops a lyrical style and a range of mythological allusions, through the forbidden love of a middle-aged man for a teenage boy, a theme with roots in Mann's own emotional experience. In many of his shorter works, Mann uses irony and humour to treat the conflict between sensitive, often artistic souls and the vital, often brutal forces of life. The stories, usually about isolated figures, convey a mixture of humour, sadness, and irony which invites ambivalent responses from readers. This new set of translations by Ritchie Robertson and Nicola Luckhurst is accompanied by explanatory notes and introduction.
