  1. Capability Brown, Royal Gardener : The Business of Place-Making in Northern Europe

    Lancelot “Capability” Brown was one of the most influential landscape designers of the eighteenth-century at a time when Britain was changing radically from an agrarian to an industrial and colonial nation, whilst Europe was periodically convulsed by war and revolution. The extent and nature of his influence are, however, fiercely debated. Brown worked at hundreds of important sites across England and his name became synonymous with the “English Garden” style which was copied across Northern Europe and entranced Catherine the Great, who remodelled her landscapes in St Petersburg to reflect the new style. He was fêted in his time, and recognised by the Crown, but Brown’s style was readily copied over his later life and particularly after his death. Arguably, this ubiquity led to the denigration of his achievements and even his character, particularly by the agents of the Picturesque. The lack of any personal primary material from Brown - forcing scholars to rely on his landscapes, contracts and bank accounts - has hindered attempts to provide a rounded and credible account of the man and his works. However, by exploring his team of associates and his role as Royal Gardener, new light can be thrown on the man, his landscapes and his landscape legacy. Bringing together a number of perspectives from across Northern Europe, Capability Brown, Royal Gardener explores the lasting international impact of Brown. With Brown’s position as Royal Gardener at its heart, this book explores for the first time his business methods, working methods and European influence. It assesses how, crucially, Brown’s work practices placed him within the world of nurserymen and landscape designers, and how his business practices and long term relationships with draughtsmen and designers allowed him to manage a huge number of projects and a substantial financial turnover. This, in turn, allowed him to work in a way that promoted and advanced his style of landscape. Edited by Professor Jonathan Finch (University of York) and Dr Jan Woudstra (University of Sheffield), and with a varied range of engaging contributors drawn internationally from archaeology, art history, history and landscape architecture, Capability Brown, Royal Gardener weaves together strands from across a broad range of disciplinary interests. It makes an important contribution to the scholarly discussion of Brown’s work, the work of his collaborators, and legacy in the UK and across Northern Europe. Relevant to students and academics at all levels, this volume throws new light on Capability Brown and his impact on the business of place-making in Northern Europe.

  2. “Colonised by Wankers” : Postcolonialism and Contemporary Scottish Fiction

    "Has Scotland suffered from colonial oppression by England for the last 300 years? While historiography may give an answer in the negative,

    this study reveals that the contemporary Scottish novel is

    haunted by strong feelings, marked by perceptions of abjection and

    inferiorisation in response to constructing the English as dominating.

    Drawing from an unprecedented corpus of contemporary Scottish

    novels, this study explores the postcolonial in Scottish fiction in

    order to investigate the underlying discursive power relations that

    shape the Scottish literary imagination. The study consequently

    demonstrates that the analysis of Scottish national identity profits

    from this new angle of interpretation of the Scottish novel as postcolonial.

    The analysis of discourses such as those of gender, class,

    space and place, and race reveals how the construction of the Scottish

    as marginalised permeates the width of the contemporary Scottish

    novel, by referring to diverse examples, such as James Kelman’s

    How late it was, how late or genre fiction such as Ian Rankin’s Set in

    Darkness. Thus, this study provides an insightful reading in the wake

    of current political developments such as the Scottish independence

    referendum."

    Urbanity and migration are considered to be two basic components in definitions of modernity. They force us to reflect on how the boundaries between the local and the global are determined and surpassed. Often this results in politically charged discussions about transnationality and national identity, monolingualism and multilingualism, inclusion and exclusion. The contributions to this issue of CLW demonstrate that literature can play a significant role in this debate. The authors highlight the representation of city and migration in a wide variety of novels published in Dutch, English, German, Spanish and French with a particular interest in political commitment.

    Histories of Technology, the Environment and Modern Britain brings together historians with a wide range of interests to take a uniquely wide-lens view of how technology and the environment have been intimately and irreversibly entangled in Britain over the last 300 years. It combines, for the first time, two perspectives with much to say about Britain since the industrial revolution: the history of technology and environmental history. Technologies are modified environments, just as nature is to varying extents engineered. Furthermore, technologies and our living and non-living environment are both predominant material forms of organisation – and self-organisation – that surround and make us. Both have changed over time, in intersecting ways. Technologies discussed in the collection include bulldozers, submarine cables, automobiles, flood barriers, medical devices, museum displays and biotechnologies. Environments investigated include bogs, cities, farms, places of natural beauty and pollution, land and sea. The book explores this diversity but also offers an integrated framework for understanding these intersections.

  5. The B&C Kinematograph Company and British Cinema : Early Twentieth-Century Spectacle and Melodrama

    This book sheds new light on the under-researched period of early British cinema through an in-depth history of the British and Colonial Kinematograph Company – also known as ‘B&C’– in the years 1908-1916, the period when it became one of Britain’s leading film producers. It provides an account of its films and personalities, and explores its production methods, business practices and policy changes.

     

    Gerry Turvey examines the range of short film genres B&C manufactured, including newsworthy topicals and comics, and series dramas, and how they often drew on the resources of urban Britain’s existing popular culture – from cheap reading matter to East End melodramas. He discusses B&C’s first open-air studio in East Finchley, its extensive use of location filming, and its large, state-of-the-art studio at Walthamstow. He also investigates how the films were photographed and ‘staged’, their developing formal properties, and how the choice of genres shifted radically over time in an attempt to seek new audiences.

    'How to Do Things with Dead People' studies human contrivances for representing and relating to the dead. Alice Dailey takes as her principal objects of inquiry Shakespeare's English history plays, describing them as reproductive mechanisms by which living replicas of dead historical figures are regenerated in the present and re-killed. Considering the plays in these terms exposes their affinity with a transhistorical array of technologies for producing, reproducing, and interacting with dead things - technologies such as literary doppelgangers, photography, ventriloquist puppetry, X-ray imaging, glitch art, capital punishment machines, and cloning.

    Helmet (a.k.a. Roddy) lives his life completely immersed in computer games. The little time he has away from his consoles is spent in The Zone, a low tech games shop, which has just this very day gone bankrupt. Sal, the down-trodden owner of The Zone, is left wondering where it all went wrong. The shop is Sal's prison, but it's Helmet's church. As they get to know each other, hiding from reality for a while, it becomes clear that Helmet has a secret that could make things a lot worse for both of them. Helmet is structured in levels like a computer game, in which each character has three lives. A production involving art graphics projections and effects, Helmet toured in 2002, including performances at The Traverse, Edinburgh and the Soho Theatre, London.

    This volume explores the bodies that are subjects and objects of violence; bodies that, by simply being, narrate their traumatic experience. Contributors attune to the dialogic and hybrid relations that connect bodies and environments, and to the horizons of imaginative, future-worldbuilding possibilities that they open through acts of transmission, translation, and transfer. Refracting to something other than the body’s own physicality – to multiple (multidirectional) networks – the chapters in this volume map and weave an ecosystem of interlacing bodies that are human, animal, vegetal, natural and technological; that are both singular and collective (i.e. a social body); that are situated in both the physical and virtual space; that are mythological and ephemeral; and that express naturecultural entanglements.

    'The Enthusiast' tells the story of a character type that was developed in early modern Britain to discredit radical prophets during an era that witnessed the dismantling of the Church of England's traditional means for punishing heresy. As William Cook Miller shows, the caricature of fanaticism, here called the Enthusiast began as propaganda against religious dissenters, especially working-class upstarts, but was adopted by a range of writers as a literary vehicle for exploring profound problems of spirit, soul, and body and as a persona for the ironic expression of their own prophetic illuminations.

    "Early modern thought was haunted by the unknowable character of the fallen world. The sometimes brilliant and sometimes baffling fusion of theological and scientific ideas in the era, as well as in some of its greatest literature, responds to this sense that humans encountered only an incomplete reality. Ranging from Paradise Lost to thinkers in and around the Royal Society and commentary on the Book of Job, The Unknowable in Early Modern Thought explores how the era of the scientific revolution was in part paralyzed by and in part energized by the paradox it encountered in thinking about the elusive nature of God and the unfathomable nature of the natural world. Looking at writers with scientific, literary and theological interests, from the shoemaker mystic, Jacob Boehme to John Milton, from Robert Boyle to Margaret Cavendish, and from Thomas Browne to the fiery prophet, Anna Trapnel, Kevin Killeen shows how seventeenth-century writings redeployed the rich resources of the ineffable and the apophatic--what cannot be said, except in negative terms--to think about natural philosophy and the enigmas of the natural world."

    This collection offers six critical essays on the topic of psychology in Edgar Allan Poe. It came together as a response to a visible absence of this subject in recent scholarship. The volume presents Edgar Allan Poe as one of the pioneers in psychology, who often anticipated major theoretical trends and ideas in psychology in his incessant explorations of the relationship between behavior and the psyche. Scrutinizing serial killer narratives, obsessive narratives through Jungian unconscious, Lacanian Das Ding, doppelg ängers, intersubjectivity, and the interrelationship between the material world and imaginative faculties, the essays reveal the richness and the complexity of Poe's work and its pertinence to contemporary culture.

    Im Vorort Edmundsbury, dem neuen Zufluchtsort der hippen Londoner, toben die Auseinandersetzungen einer ach so schönen neuen Welt: Wie wollen wir wohnen und arbeiten? Und was wollen wir mit niemandem teilen? Sam Byers entwirft das Panorama einer Gesellschaft nach dem Brexit, deren Verwerfungen auch die persönlichsten Beziehungen erschüttern. Das kleine Edmundsbury ist derart angesagt, dass es als das neue London gilt. Alle, die etwas auf sich halten, sind schon dort oder wollen hin. Doch unter der Oberfläche ist nicht alles nur schön. Der Vorort wird von einer Technologiefirma namens Green beherrscht, in deren inneren Machtbereich nur wenige vordringen. Und plötzlich kippt der trügerische Frieden: Ein Bauunternehmer beschließt, ein soziales Wohnprojekt zur Luxusanlage umzugestalten. Ein rechter Politiker erhält immer mehr Zuspruch. Und eine Aktivistengruppe droht, die Browserverläufe sämtlicher Einwohner nach und nach im Internet zu veröffentlichen. In seiner hochintelligenten Gesellschaftssatire treibt Sam Byers die zwingenden Fragen der Gegenwart auf die Spitze und konfrontiert seine Figuren mit den Ängsten, die unter der hippen Oberfläche lauern.

    In diesem Heft gibt es einen Schwerpunkt zum Themenfeld Populismus und postfaktisches Zeitalter. Jan-Werner Müller erklärt, warum es in einer Demokratie selbstverständlich sein sollte, auch mit Rechten zu reden. Gunnar Hindrichs zeigt, wie falsch Peter Sloterdijk mit seiner Thymos-Emphase liegt. Einfach so zu den „Tatsachen“ zurückzukehren, ist nur scheinbar die Lösung für das Problem des Postfaktischen – so die These von Mark Fischer und Oliver Schlaudt. Von der Seite der Musik nähert sich Dirk Baecker der Frage nach der Vox Populi. Und Sebastian Dümling analysiert den Populismus als „Diskurseffekt“. Außerdem in den Essays: Catherine Davies ist die abstrakten Großerklärungen der Brexit-Leitartikel leid und zeigt, dass sich die Ursachen für die politische Dynamik in Großbritannien denkbar konkret angeben lassen. In der ersten Folge seiner "Homestories" räumt Christian Demand mit Marie Kondo (und anderen) auf. Jakob Hessing liest Bernd Wittes Buch Moses und Homer. Danilo Scholz ' Dankrede zur Verleihung des Heinrich-Mann-Preises führt uns bis nach China. Stefanie Schweizer führt vor Augen, was Heimat bedeuten kann, nicht nur für sie selbst. Günter Hack erzählt von den Farben der Elster. Und Robin Detje befasst sich dieses Mal mit Männern, nicht nur in der U-Bahn.

    In Großbritannien gilt das Gesetz des Stärkeren. Das Land ist von einer hohen Mauer umgeben, die von den Bewohnern um jeden Preis gegen Eindringlinge verteidigt wird. Während in England der Brexit vorbereitet wird, legt Bestsellerautor John Lanchester einen brisanten neuen Roman vor. Joseph Kavanagh tritt seinen Dienst auf der Mauer an, die England seit dem großen Wandel umgibt. Er gehört nun zu jener Gruppe von jungen Menschen, die die Mauer unter Einsatz ihres Lebens gegen Eindringlinge verteidigt. Der Preis für ein mögliches Versagen ist hoch. Schaffen es Eindringlinge ins Land, werden die verantwortlichen Verteidiger dem Meer – und somit dem sicheren Tod – übergeben. Das Leben auf der Mauer verlangt Kavanagh einiges ab, doch seine Einheit wird zu seiner Familie, und mit Hifa, einer jungen Frau, fühlt er sich besonders eng verbunden. Gemeinsam absolvieren sie Kampfübungen, die sie auf den Ernstfall vorbereiten sollen. Denn ihre Gegner können jeden Moment angreifen. Und die sind gefährlich, weil sie für ein Leben hinter der Mauer alles aufs Spiel setzen. John Lanchester geht in seinem neuen Roman alle Herausforderungen unserer Zeit an – Flüchtlingsströme, wachsende politische Differenzen und die immer größer werdende Angst in der Bevölkerung – und verwebt diese zu einer hochgradig spannenden Geschichte über Liebe und Vertrauen sowie über den Kampf ums Überleben.

    Tim Barker zeichnet die Ursachen und Folgen des sogenannten Volcker-Schocks nach: der Anti-Inflationspolitik des US-Notenbank-Chefs Paul Volcker also, die eine Rezession und hohe Arbeitslosenraten nach sich zog. Rainer Maria Kiesow ist politisch weit von Carl Schmitt entfernt, aber wenn es ums Entscheiden geht, muss er sagen, ist Schmitts Kritik an juristischer Hermeneutik heute noch gültig. Wolfgang Kemp begibt sich in der Theorie auf die Suche nach einem brauchbaren und konsistenten Formbegriff, landet bei Luhmann und wird nicht glücklich. Reiner Nägele nimmt sich sein Fach, die Musikwissenschaft, vor – und kann nicht sagen, dass ihm gefällt, was er sieht. In ihrer Rechtskolumne fragt Sophie Schönberger, ob dem Rechtsstaat durch Musealisierungsmaßnahmen zu helfen ist. Hazel Rosenstrauch bespricht einen Band, der die Geschichte der Privatbank Mendelssohn erzählt. Eine aktuelle Inszenierung von Friedrich Hebbels Maria Magdalena wird Patrick Bahners zum Anlass für Überlegungen zu Tod und Genremalerei. Jürgen Große fragt: Wie einflussreich und auch wie viel gelesen ist heute eigentlich noch Karl Raimund Popper? Jochen Rack sieht Armut und Schönheit in Marrakesch. Und Robin Detje erzählt ganz ausdrücklich keinen Familienroman.

    Alex ist Anführer einer Londoner Jugendbande und begeisterter Beethoven-Fan. Seine Gang lebt in einem trostlosen Vorort und benutzt eine eigenwillige Sprache, einen von russischen Brocken durchsetzten Slang. Ihr Leben dreht sich um Schlägereien mit anderen Gangs, Raubüberfälle und Vergewaltigungen. Alex’ Eltern kriegen ihn nicht in den Griff, denn er hat keinerlei Respekt vor ihnen. Aber auch Alex’ Freunde sind mit ihrem Anführer nicht mehr zufrieden. Bei einem ihrer Raubzüge lassen sie ihn im Stich und die Polizei nimmt ihn fest. Wegen Mordes wird er zu einer langjährigen Haftstrafe verurteilt, bekommt aber eine letzte Chance: Ein neuartiges Experiment soll ihn zu einem guten Bürger umerziehen. Der große Roman von Anthony Burgess über Gut und Böse, über Freiheit und Zwang in neuer Übersetzung der ursprünglichen Fassung. Mit ergänzenden Texten zu Buch, Film und Theaterstück.

    The late nineteenth century saw a rapid increase in colonial conflicts throughout the French and British empires. It was also the period in which the camera began to be widely available. Colonial authorities were quick to recognise the power of this new technology, which they used to humiliate defeated opponents and to project an image of supremacy across the world.Drawing on a wealth of visual materials, from soldiers' personal albums to the collections of press agencies and government archives, this book offers a new account of how conflict photography developed in the decades leading up to the First World War. It explores the various ways in which the camera was used to impose order on subject populations in Africa and Asia and to generate propaganda for the public in Europe, where a visual economy of violence was rapidly taking shape. At the same time, it reveals how photographs could escape the intentions of their creators, offering a means for colonial subjects to push back against oppression. --
