Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2015Margaret Cavendish
by Emma Rees
Margaret Cavendish was one of the most prolific, complex and misunderstood writers of the seventeenth century. A contemporary of Descartes and Hobbes, she was fascinated by philosophical, scientific and imaginative advances, and struggled to overcome the political and cultural obstacles which threatened to stop her engagement with such discourses. Emma Rees examines how Cavendish engaged with the work of thinkers such as Lucretius, Plato, Homer and Harvey in an attempt to write her way out of the exile which threatened not only her intellectual pursuits but her very existence. What emerges is the image of an intelligent, audacious and intrepid early modern woman whose tale will appeal to specialists and general readers alike. ;

September 1980Emma
Roman
by Jane Austen, Hugh Thomson, Charlotte Gräfin Klinckowstroem
Mit der Ehe hat Emma, die Titelheldin in Jane Austens viertem großen Roman, erklärtermaßen nichts im Sinn. Doch andere zu verkuppeln ist geradezu ihr Steckenpferd, das sie bravourös zu beherrschen glaubt. So greift sie in das Leben der 17jährigen Harriet Smith ein, will sie mit dem allseits begehrten Mr. Elton verheiraten und verkennt darüber deren wirkliche Gefühle – sowie ihre eigenen. Emma ist eine satirische »Komödie der Irrungen«, die ein realistisches Bild des englischen Landadels um 1800 zeichnet.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2014Court and civic society in the Burgundian Low Countries c.1420–1530
by Andrew Brown, Graeme Small
This volume is the first ever attempt to unite and translate some of the key texts which informed Johan Huizinga's famous study of the Burgundian court, The Waning of the Middle Ages, a work which has never gone out of print. It combines these texts with sources that Huizinga did not consider, those that illuminate the wider civic world that the Burgundian court inhabited and the dynamic interaction between court and city. Through these sources, and an introduction offering new perspectives on recent historiography, the book tests whether Huizinga's controversial vision of the period still stands. Covering subjects including ceremonial events, such as the spectacles and gargantuan banquets that made the Burgundian dukes the talk of Europe, the workings of the court, and jousting, archery and rhetoric competitions, the book will appeal to students of late medieval and early modern Europe and to those with wider interests in court culture, ritual and ceremony.

Biography & True StoriesMarch 2024She played and sang
Jane Austen and music
by Gillian Dooley
Like her much-loved heroine Emma Woodhouse, Jane Austen 'played and sang'. Music occupied a central role in her life, and she made brilliant use of it in her books to illuminate characters' personalities and highlight the contrasts between them. Until recently, our knowledge of Austen's musical inclinations was limited to the recollections of relatives who were still in their youth when she passed away. But with the digitisation of music books from her immediate family circle, a treasure trove of evidence has emerged. Delving into these books, alongside letters and other familial records, She played and sang unveils a previously unknown facet of Austen's world. This insightful work not only uncovers the music closely associated with Austen, but also unravels her musical connections with family and friends, revealing the intricate ties between her fiction and the melodies she performed. With these revelations, Austen's musical legacy comes to life, granting us a deeper understanding of her artistic prowess and the influences that shaped her literary masterpieces.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2024‘Survival Capitalism’ and the Big Bang
Culture, contingency and capital in the making of the 1980s financial revolution
by Emma Barrett
This book about the Thatcher government and the City of London tells the compelling human story of the people and processes that made Britain's 1980s financial revolution. Fusing insider testimony with new archival discoveries, it examines high stakes and networked solutions, and uncovers new objectives that drove reforms. In so doing it demystifies a major shift in capitalism. This has implications for our understandings of government and capitalism, from the way we think about the origins of subsequent financial crises to today's growing inequalities. Survival Capitalism offers new insights into the last major restructuring of the City, disrupts myths surrounding the logics of the market, and pays attention to people and processes at a time when the City of London again faces major change as Britain seeks to find its place outside the European Union in the wake of Brexit.

by Emma Braslavsky
»Eine gute Geschichte braucht ein Opfer. Eines am Anfang und eines am Ende.« Bessere Menschen. Falsche Tiere. Aussteiger im Paradies. Die einen wollen die Natur retten, den Planeten, die Menschheit. Die anderen nur sich selbst: vor Spielschulden, Ehekrächen, Einsamkeit. In »Leben ist keine Art mit einem Tier umzugehen« erzählt Emma Braslavsky ein großes, packendes Abenteuer – über Fluch und Segen des Menschseins, über unsere Suche nach Erkenntnis und Wahrhaftigkeit. Und nie weiß man, ob man aus Verzweiflung lacht oder vor Glück.

The Keepers of the Black Cave
by Hanit Pahima
Does the phrase “history repeats itself” have any merit? Is it true? Some say it is; some say that historical events repeat themselves endlessly and occur again and again in parallel time loops. Nicole and her brothers do not know for sure. What they do know is that sometimes when history repeats itself, things can go wrong, and they are here to prevent just that. This compelling time-travel novel is the story of Nicole and her family, who have been entrusted to keep history unchanged. Through the black cave at the edge of the forest they jump back in time to an event in history, an event that is about to be changed, about to be altered. Their mission is simple—preserve history as it is, and don’t let loops in time make changes that can affect the future. What would have happened if JFK hadn’t been assassinated? What would be the difference if Elvis hadn’t really died? What would change if one more boy had died in the Holocaust? The three of them have done this for as long as they can remember, and they know their way through history. But what happens when the rules are slightly bent? When someone chooses to interpret the course of history? Use history for their own benefits? Will Nicole and her brothers survive? Will the world survive? What will be the cost? Read The Keepers of the Black Cave to find out. Hanit Pahima has shifted her career after twenty years in the high-tech industry to pursue her dream of and talent for writing. As a personal travel planner and a dreamer, she combines her adventures in the world, her passion for TV shows and movies, and her vast and cynical imagination to create her stories.

Hundert Politikerinnen
by Luise F. Pusch, Andrea Schweers
Sie trug weder Streitaxt noch Männerkleider wie Jeanne d’Arc, nein, sie betrat die politische Bühne im Kostüm und mit Handtasche. Auf die Frage, wie man sich denn so fühle als weiblicher Premier, antwortete Margaret Thatcher: »Keine Ahnung, ich habe die Alternative nie ausprobiert.« Inzwischen hat nicht nur Deutschland eine Kanzlerin, auch in Liberia, Mosambik, Chile, Neuseeland, Pakistan, Irland, Lettland und Finnland machen Frauen Staat. Hundert Politikerinnen präsentiert Luise F. Pusch in ihrem kleinen »Lexikon«: Madeleine Albright, Michelle Bachelet, Hillary Clinton, Indira Gandhi, Emma Goldman, Tarja Halonen, Alexandra Kollontai, Ulrike Meinhof, Clara Zetkin und viele mehr.

Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2017Inventing the cave man
From Darwin to the Flintstones
by Andrew Horrall, Jeffrey Richards
Fred Flintstone lived in a sunny Stone Age American suburb, but his ancestors were respectable, middle-class Victorians. They were very amused to think that prehistory was an archaic version of their own world because it suggested that British ideals were eternal. In the 1850s, our prehistoric ancestors were portrayed in satirical cartoons, songs, sketches and plays as ape-like, reflecting the threat posed by evolutionary ideas. By the end of the century, recognisably human cave men inhabited a Stone Age version of late-imperial Britain, sending-up its ideals and institutions. Cave men appeared constantly in parades, civic pageants and costume parties. In the early 1900s American cartoonists and early Hollywood stars like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton adopted and reimagined this very British character, cementing it in global popular culture. Cave men are an appealing way to explore and understand Victorian and Edwardian Britain.
