        Margaret 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. ;

        Frauen 70+ Cool. Rebellisch. Weise.

        Von Nancy Pelosi über Helen Mirren bis Élisabeth Badinter. Mit einem Vorwort von Iris Berben | Mit zahlreichen Fotografien

        by Rita Kohlmaier, Iris Berben

        »70 and female is the new cool«, schrieb jüngst die New York Times über diese großartige Generation der Frauen 70+. Frauen, die sich mit Energie und Kraft Gehör verschaffen und durch ihre Haltung inspirieren: Sie sind längst in der zweiten Lebenshälfte angekommen – und aufrecht, ehrgeizig, willensstark. Sie sind entschieden in ihrer Haltung wie die Richterin Ruth Bader Ginsburg, sie sind Kämpferinnen wie Erika Pluhar und Tina Turner, und für sie alle ist »unbequem« zu sein ein Kompliment. Viele der Frauen sind Kult, sie sind Wegbereiterinnen und immer Vorbilder. Frauen, die wissen, wer sie sind, was sie geleistet haben und morgen noch bewegen können. Frauen, die cool, rebellisch und klug oder manchmal auch »schräg« sind, die ihren eigenen Kopf haben. Sie alle sind Frauen, die uns viel zu sagen haben. Mit Juliette Gréco, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Jane Fonda, Charlotte Knobloch, Letizia Battaglia, Erika Pluhar, Herlinde Koelbl, Margaret Atwood, Tina Turner, Vivienne Westwood, Nancy Pelosi, Annie Ernaux, Élisabeth Badinter, Elfie Semotan, Alice Nkom, Marina Abramović, Helen Mirren, Carla Del Ponte, Shirin Ebadi, Marianne Birthler.

        Ireland and the Renaissance court

        by David Edwards, Brendan Kane

        Ireland and the Renaissance court is an interdisciplinary collection of essays exploring Irish and English courts, courtiers and politics in the early modern period, c. 1450-1650. Chapters are contributed by both established and emergent scholars working in the fields of history, literary studies, and philology. They focus on Gaelic cúirteanna, the indigenous centres of aristocratic life throughout the medieval period; on the regnal court of the emergent British empire based in London at Whitehall; and on Irish participation in the wider world of European elite life and letters. Collectively, they expand the chronological limits of 'early modern' Ireland to include the fifteenth century and recreate its multi-lingual character through exploration of its English, Irish and Latin archives. This volume is an innovative effort at moving beyond binary approaches to English-Irish history by demonstrating points of contact as well as contention.

        Court 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.

        A neoliberal revolution?

        Thatcherism and the reform of British pensions

        by Hugh Pemberton, James Freeman, Aled Davies

        This book examines the Thatcher government's attempt to revolutionise Britain's pensions system in the 1980s and create a nation of risk-taking savers with an individual stake in capitalism. Drawing upon recently-released archival records, it shows how the ideas motivating these reforms journeyed from the writings of neoliberal intellectuals into government and became the centrepiece of a plan to abolish significant parts of the UK's welfare state and replace these with privatised personal pensions. Revealing a government that veered between political caution and radicalism, the book explains why this revolution failed and charts the malign legacy left by the evolutionary changes that ministers salvaged from the wreckage of their reforms. The book contributes to understanding of policy change, Thatcherism, and international neoliberalism by showing how major reforms to social security could reflect neoliberal thought and yet profoundly disappoint their architects.

        Die Frau mit den vier Armen

        Roman

        by Jakob Nolte

        Am Ufer der Ihme in Hannover liegt die Leiche eines jungen Mannes. Inlineskates an den Füßen, Würgemale am Hals, Kopfhörer in den Ohren. Ein Fall für die genauso brillante wie schroffe Rita Aitzinger und ihren Kollegen Ilia Schuster von der Mordkommission. Zwischen Oper, Bahnhofskneipe und Burgerladen geraten sie immer tiefer in ein Dickicht aus Verweisen: Popsongs, Datingapp-Profile, mysteriöse Tattoos – sie sind der Schlüssel zur Lösung des Falls, davon ist Rita überzeugt. Oder ist sie in die Schlinge einer psychopathischen Mörderin geraten? War Sebastian Tamm gar nicht das erste Opfer? Und was hat der schüchterne Streifenpolizist Gerd Lampe damit zu tun? Die Frau mit den vier Armen erzählt von traurigen Jungs, die das Glück suchen und den Tod finden. Von einer Stadt voller schräger, liebenswerter Figuren. Von Rallyeautos, teurem Wein, Gerechtigkeit und Polizeiarbeit. Ganz Noir, stellt der Roman die Frage, ob man sich am Denken anderer schuldig machen kann. Und zeigt dabei ein Hannover, das es so noch nie gegeben hat.
