    This book is the first collection of research articles dedicated exclusively to the life and works of the Renaissance composer Gaspar van Weerbeke. While the basic facts of Gaspar’s life have long been known, the book fleshes out the details, presenting a more differentiated and complex picture of his biography. Analysis of a wider range of Gaspar’s compositional output leads to new interpretations of his approach to different genres: masses, motets, and motet cycles. Dieses Buch ist die erste wissenschaftliche Publikation, die ausschließlich dem Leben und Werk des Renaissance-Komponisten Gaspar van Weerbeke gewidmet ist. Während die grundlegenden Fakten von Gaspars Leben seit langem bekannt sind, werden in diesem Buch die Details vertieft und ein differenzierteres und komplexeres Bild seiner Biografie gezeichnet. Die Analyse eines breiteren Spektrums von Gaspars kompositorischem Schaffen führt zu neuen Interpretationen seines Gattungsverständnisses von Messen, Motetten und Motettenzyklen.

    Anna Seghers Jahre im mexikanischen Exil – fulminant erzählt von Volker Weidermann 1941: Als Anna Seghers endlich die Flucht aus Europa gelingt, ahnt sie nicht, dass die Jahre in Mexiko ihr Leben entscheidend prägen werden. Hier wird sie mit der Veröffentlichung des "Siebten Kreuzes" in den USA über Nacht berühmt, hier schreibt sie ihre wichtigsten Werke und erfährt sowohl den Verlust der Mutter, die sie nicht mehr aus Nazi-Deutschland retten kann, als auch die eigene Endlichkeit, als sie bei einem schweren Verkehrsunfall fast stirbt. In den Jahren 1941 bis 1947 trifft sie in Mexiko Stadt nicht nur Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo und Pablo Neruda, sondern auch deutsche Exilkommunisten und Juden, die wie sie mit dem Stalinismus ringen. Inmitten überbordender Farben, gleißenden Lichts und einer Kultur, die den Tod feiert, bleibt die Sehnsucht nach Europa ...

    Die literarische Wiederentdeckung: der hellsichtige Blick eines Intellektuellen auf die Jahre 1933–1939 »Es war vor allem nicht leicht, inmitten eines grandios aufgeblähten Machtsystems zu leben, inmitten eines geistigen Terrors, einer phantastischen Lügenhaftigkeit, innerlich abseits, bemüht, sich nicht blenden zu lassen, auch nicht von scheinbaren Vorzügen und Erfolgen.« Hermann Stresau arbeitet als Bibliothekar in Berlin, als 1933 die Machtergreifung durch die Nationalsozialisten erfolgt. In seinen Tagebüchern, die der in Amerika geborene Intellektuelle mit der Machtergreifung wieder aufnimmt, entfaltet sich ein intimes Bild der Vorkriegszeit. Ausnehmend klarsichtig schildert er, wie die neuen Machthaber mit der ihnen eigenen Mischung aus geschickt eingesetzter Propaganda, inszenierten Machtdemonstrationen, der skrupellosen Ausübung von Gewalt und einer gut organisierten Bürokratie die Herrschaft absicherten und Stück für Stück ausweiteten. Doch genauso sehr interessiert sich Stresau für sein Umfeld. Reflektiert beschreibt er das Verhalten derjenigen, die sich aus Überzeugung oder Karrieregründen dem System andienen, schildert das Mitläufertum ebenso wie die Gedanken der ihm Gleichgesinnten, die sich den neuen Verhältnissen verweigern. So entsteht ein unvergleichliches Zeitpanorama und Psychogramm der Deutschen. Die Tagebücher wurden von den Herausgebern Peter Graf und Ulrich Faure wiederentdeckt und reichen von 1933–1945. Ein zweiter Band, der die Kriegsjahre umfasst, erscheint im Herbst 2021. Die Herausgeber Peter Graf und Ulrich Faure zur Editionsgeschichte Die Originaltagebücher Hermann Stresaus werden gemeinsam mit seinem weiteren Nachlass im Literaturarchiv Marbach verwahrt. Es sind schmucklose schwarze Kladden, in die er handschriftlich seine Beobachtungen und Gedanken niedergeschrieben hat. Aber wer darin zu lesen beginnt, spürt sofort, dass dies keine rein privaten Aufzeichnungen sind; hier möchte jemand die Ereignisse zwischen 1933 und 1945 für die Nachwelt festhalten und Zeugnis ablegen. Und so veröffentlichte Hermann Stresau bereits 1948 unter dem Titel »Von Jahr zu Jahr« eine Auswahl seiner Tagebuchnotizen im Berliner Minerva Verlag. Zu früh, denn so kurz nach dem Krieg stießen seine Erinnerungen auf kein großes Echo. Und vielleicht kann dieses bedeutende literarische Zeitdokument auch erst mit dem heutigen Abstand von mehr als 80 Jahren gewürdigt werden. Die vorliegende Ausgabe vereint in einem ersten Band alle Eintragungen Stresaus und kommentiert sie, auch jene, die er in seiner Erstveröffentlichung aus Platzgründen weggelassen hat. Peter Graf, Ulrich Faure, Herbst 2020

    Born into a distinguished aristocratic family of the old Habsburg Empire, Hermynia Zur Mühlen spent much of her childhood and early youth travelling in Europe and North Africa with her diplomat father. Never comfortable with the traditional roles women were expected to play, she broke as a young adult both with her family and, after five years on his estate in the old Czarist Russia, with her German Junker husband, and set out as an independent, free-thinking individual, earning a precarious living as a writer. She translated over 70 books from English, French and Russian into German, notably the novels of Upton Sinclair, which she turned into best-sellers in Germany; produced a series of detective novels under a pseudonym; wrote seven engaging and thought-provoking novels of her own, six of which were translated into English; contributed countless insightful short stories and articles to newspapers and magazines; and, having become a committed socialist, achieved international renown in the 1920s with her Fairy Tales for Workers’ Children, which were widely translated including into Chinese and Japanese. Because of her fervent and outspoken opposition to National Socialism, she and her life-long Jewish partner, Stefan Klein, had to flee first Germany, where they had settled, and then, in 1938, her native Austria. They found refuge in England, where Zur Mühlen died, forgotten and virtually penniless, in 1951. This new, expanded edition contains: Zur Mühlen’s autobiographical memoir, The End and the Beginning; The editor’s detailed notes on the persons and events mentioned in the autobiography; A selection of Zur Mühlen’s short stories and two fairy tales; A synopsis of Zur Mühlen’s untranslated novel Our Daughters the Nazi Girls; An essay by the Editor on Zur Mühlen’s life and work; A bibliography of Zur Mühlen’s novels in English translation; A portfolio of selected illustrations of her work by George Grosz and Heinrich Vogeler; A free online supplement with additional original material

    "He was a famous general, victor over the Persians, conqueror of the Vandals and Ostrogoths. She was a first-rate political operative, deposer of a pope, wielder of influence. Together, Belisarius and Antonina were the most powerful couple of the sixth-century Roman world, excepting only their sovereigns and friends, the emperor Justinian (r. 527-565) and empress Theodora. Belisarius and Antonina found strength in their marriage, which was not just a romance but also an enormously successful partnership. Antonina travelled around the Mediterranean with Belisarius, accompanying him on military campaigns to Mesopotamia, North Africa, and Italy. Together, the pair restored Roman rule to North Africa and Italy. Together, they deposed Pope Silverius in Rome and selected his replacement. Together, they became one of the wealthiest and most powerful couples in the Roman world. However, their relationship was far from perfect. Belisarius and Antonina occasionally argued over their children. Their constant historian, Procopius of Caesarea, accused Antonina of having an incestuous affair with her adopted son, and Belisarius of being too weak to put a stop to it. Even their public careers sometimes went off the rails, as when Belisarius was disgraced for plotting when Justinian fell ill with the plague that would eventually bear his name. Through it all, the partnership of Belisarius and Antonina sustained the couple. It was, without doubt, the most important nonroyal marriage of the century"-- Belisarius & Antonina is a biography of an immensely powerful marriage in the time of Roman resurgence and expansion. It sheds new light on the reign of Justinian while exploring the successes, failures, and challenges of this unique partnership

    "Callimachus was one of the most important Greek poets, and can also be one of the most rewarding to read. He was a pivotal figure in the history of ancient literature and an influential presence in later ancient poetry, including Catullus and Vergil. Yet his work is not read and enjoyed as much as it could be. This new volume in the popular Ancients in Action series seeks to bring Callimachus to a wide audience, addressing the problems with currently available scholarship, which assumes a professional level of expertise, including full knowledge of Greek. Rawles presents a much-needed introduction to Callimachus' poetry and is intended for the non-specialist reader and student, assuming no knowledge of Greek. The book is organised in thematic chapters, rich in quotation (in translation), with selective annotations and guidance for further study and reading."-- Introduction -- Callimachus on philology and poetics -- Callimachean voices -- Religion and the gods -- People and places -- Envoi : the end of the Aetia, and Callimachus in Rome.

    The epic story of a man born into Caribbean slavery, who defeated Napoleon's armies and crowned himself a free black king.How did a man born enslaved on a plantation triumph over Napoleon's invading troops and become king of the first free black nation in the Americas? This is the forgotten, remarkable story of Henry Christophe.Christophe fought as a child soldier in the American War of Independence, before serving in the Haitian Revolution as one of Toussaint Louverture's top generals. Following Haitian independence, Christophe crowned himself King Henry I. His attempts to build a modern black state won the support of leading British abolitionists-but his ambition helped to plunge his country into civil war.Christophe saw himself as an Enlightenment ruler, and his kingdom produced great literary works, epic fortresses and opulent palaces. He was a proud anti-imperialist and fought off French plots against him. Yet the Haitian people chafed under his authoritarian rule. Today, all that remains is Christophe's mountaintop Citadelle, Haiti's sole World Heritage site-a monument to a revolutionary black monarchy, in a world of empire and slavery

    'An important contribution ... Delving lucidly into the most significant ideological battles of the era, this book deftly outlines the thinking and dialogue that laid the foundations of the Republic - and which remain deeply relevant and contentious today'Shashi Tharoor, author of Inglorious Empire A history of Nehru that dives deep into the debates of his era to understand his ideology - and that of his contemporaries and opponents, asking what India would look like had another bold young mind with fiercely held views led during the country's formative years of independence. Sixty years after the death of Jawaharal Nehru, the independence activist and first prime minister of India continues to be deified and vilified in equal measure. And still in contemporary political debate, the ideological spectrum remains defined by the degree of divergence from Nehru's ideas. With the Nehruvian ideals increasingly juxtaposed against the positions of Nehru's erstwhile contemporaries and questions asked about what might have happened on the Indian subcontinent had another hero of that era taken leadership, this book explores his encounters with key contemporaries to excavate and evaluate the views that were in circulation. It examines the founder of Pakistan Mohammad Ali Jinnah and his cause of Hindu-Muslim unity, Shyama Prasad Mookerjee of the Hindu Mahasabha and his fierce defence of the constitution, the Congress leader Sardar Patel, with whom Nehru often disagreed about the threat of China, and Mohammad Iqbal, the poet and politician whose letters on Muslim solidarity were often issued from a prison cell. The correspondence and interactions that Nehru had with these key personalities captures the essence of how post-independent India was projected as a nation, and the early directions it took towards self-definition

    "This book is a comparative exploration of the impact of a celebrated Chinese historical novel, the Sanguozhi yanyi (Three Kingdoms) on the popular culture of Korea since its dissemination in the sixteenth century. It elucidates not only the reception of Chinese fiction in Chosŏn Korea (1392-1910), but also the fascinating ways in which this particular story lives on in modern Korea. The author specifically explores the dissemination, adaptations, and translations of the work to elucidate how Three Kingdoms has spoken to Korean readers. In short, this book shows how a quintessentially Chinese work equally developed into a Korean work"-- This book elucidates how Three Kingdoms, a Chinese historical novel, has played a major role in shaping the Korean national self-image by examining how its text has been altered, manipulated, and transformed by the ideological preferences of the Korean readers from the ChÅson era to the present day

    A biography of the remarkable, and in her time scandalous, seventeenth-century writer Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle. My ambition is not only to be Empress, but Authoress of a whole world. Margaret Cavendish, then Lucas, was born in 1623 to a wealthy family. In 1644, as England descended into civil war, she joined the court of the formidable Queen Henrietta Maria at Oxford, before following the court into exile in France. It was there that she met her much older lifelong partner, William Cavendish, Marquess of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.Cavendish was a revolutionary writer. At a time when literature was dominated by men, she wrote passionately on gender, science and philosophy, defied convention by publishing under her own name, and advocated for women in work that predates the feminist movement. In 1666, she published The Blazing World, a brilliant, trail-blazing proto-novel thought to be one of the earliest works of science fiction. But her legacy divides opinion. And history has largely forgotten her.In Pure Wit, Francesca Peacock shines a spotlight on the fascinating, pioneering, yet often complex and controversial life of Margaret Cavendish

    The Lives and Legacy of Kim Sisup (1435-1493) offers an account of the most extraordinary figure of Korean literature and intellectual history. The present work narrates the fascinating story of a prodigious child, acclaimed poet, author of the first Korean novel, Buddhist monk, model subject, Confucian recluse and Daoist master. No other Choson scholar or writer has been venerated in both Confucian shrines and Buddhist temples, had his works widely read in Tokugawa Japan and became an integral part of the North Korean literary canon. The nine studies and further materials presented in this volume provide a detailed look on the various aspects of Kim Sisup's life and work as well as a reflection of both traditional and modern narratives surrounding his legacy. Contributors are: Vladimir Glomb, Gregory N. Evon, Dennis Wuerthner, Barbara Wall, Kim Daeyeol, Miriam Loewensteinova, Anastasia A. Guryeva, Sixiang Wang, and Diana Yuksel

    "He was a famous general, victor over the Persians, conqueror of the Vandals and Ostrogoths. She was a first-rate political operative, deposer of a pope, wielder of influence. Together, Belisarius and Antonina were the most powerful couple of the sixth-century Roman world, excepting only their sovereigns and friends, the emperor Justinian (r. 527-565) and empress Theodora. Belisarius and Antonina found strength in their marriage, which was not just a romance but also an enormously successful partnership. Antonina travelled around the Mediterranean with Belisarius, accompanying him on military campaigns to Mesopotamia, North Africa, and Italy. Together, the pair restored Roman rule to North Africa and Italy. Together, they deposed Pope Silverius in Rome and selected his replacement. Together, they became one of the wealthiest and most powerful couples in the Roman world. However, their relationship was far from perfect. Belisarius and Antonina occasionally argued over their children. Their constant historian, Procopius of Caesarea, accused Antonina of having an incestuous affair with her adopted son, and Belisarius of being too weak to put a stop to it. Even their public careers sometimes went off the rails, as when Belisarius was disgraced for plotting when Justinian fell ill with the plague that would eventually bear his name. Through it all, the partnership of Belisarius and Antonina sustained the couple. It was, without doubt, the most important nonroyal marriage of the century"-- Belisarius & Antonina is a biography of an immensely powerful marriage in the time of Roman resurgence and expansion. It sheds new light on the reign of Justinian while exploring the successes, failures, and challenges of this unique partnership
