    "Vertical Readings in Dante’s Comedy is a reappraisal of the poem by an international team of thirty-four scholars. Each vertical reading analyses three same-numbered cantos from the three canticles: Inferno i, Purgatorio i and Paradiso i; Inferno ii, Purgatorio ii and Paradiso ii; etc. Although scholars have suggested before that there are correspondences between same-numbered cantos that beg to be explored, this is the first time that the approach has been pursued in a systematic fashion across the poem. This collection in three volumes offers an unprecedented repertoire of vertical readings for the whole poem. As the first volume exemplifies, vertical reading not only articulates unexamined connections between the three canticles but also unlocks engaging new ways to enter into core concerns of the poem. The three volumes thereby provide an indispensable resource for scholars, students and enthusiasts of Dante.

    The volume has its origin in a series of thirty-three public lectures held in Trinity College, the University of Cambridge (2012-2016) which can be accessed at the Cambridge Vertical Readings in Dante’s Comedy website."

  2. Long Narrative Songs from the Mongghul of Northeast Tibet : Texts in Mongghul, Chinese, and English

    " Containing ballads of martial heroism, tales of tragic lovers and visions of the nature of the world, Long Narrative Songs from the Mongghul of Northeast Tibet: Texts in Mongghul, Chinese, and English is a rich repository of songs collected amongst the Mongghul of the Seven Valleys, on the northeast Tibetan Plateau in western China. These songs represent the apogee of Mongghul oral literature, and they provide valuable insights into the lives of Mongghul people—their hopes, dreams, and worries. They bear testimony to the impressive plurilingual repertoire commanded by some Mongghul singers: the original texts in Tibetan, Mongghul, and Chinese are here presented in Mongghul, Chinese, and English.

    The kaleidoscope of stories told in these songs include that of Marshall Qi, a chieftain from the Seven Valleys who travels to Luoyang with his Mongghul army to battle rebels; Laarimbu and Qiimunso, a pair of star-crossed lovers who take revenge from beyond the grave on the families that kept them apart; and the Crop-Planting Song and the Sheep Song, which map the physical and spiritual terrain of the Mongghul people, vividly describing the physical and cosmological world in which they exist.

    This collection of songs is supported by an Introduction by Gerald Roche that provides an understanding of their traditional context, and shows that these works offer insights into the practices of multilingualism in Tibet. Long Narrative Songs from the Mongghul of Northeast Tibet is vital reading for researchers and others working on oral literature, as well as those who study Inner Asia, Tibet, and China’s ethnic minorities. Finally, this book is of interest to linguistic anthropologists and sociolinguists, particularly those working on small-scale multilingualism and pre-colonial multilingualism. "

  3. Karkurit : Kriittinen editio
    Author: Kivi, Aleksis
    Published: 2017
    Publisher:  Finnish Literature Society / SKS, Helsinki

    "When Aleksis Kivi’s (1834–1872) Finnish tragedy Karkurit (‘The Escapees’) was originally published in 1867 it was considered better than his two former plays, the Kalevalaic tragedy Kullervo (1864) and the comedy Nummisuutarit (‘Heath Cobblers’,... more

     

    "When Aleksis Kivi’s (1834–1872) Finnish tragedy Karkurit (‘The Escapees’) was originally published in 1867 it was considered better than his two former plays, the Kalevalaic tragedy Kullervo (1864) and the comedy Nummisuutarit (‘Heath Cobblers’, 1864). Soon these encouraging views, however, turned completely opposite. Dismissing attitudes towards Kivi’s play were dominant until the 1960s when new theatre productions made its artistic merits worthy of consideration again. The critical edition of Karkurit gives a new and more versatile image of Aleksis Kivi as a playwright and helps to understand his tragedy in the light of the changing artistic ideals of different periods and generations. The edition contains a scholarly edited and richly annotated text of the tragedy’s first edition. Expert introductions by leading authorities illuminate the multidimensional dramaturgy of the play and reflect its relation to the European drama traditions and the socio-historical context of 19th-century Finland. In addition, the introductory articles analyse Kivi’s pioneering blank verse dialogues and discuss how Karkurit was published and performed from the 19th century up to the present day.

    The appendices include, among others, versatile text-critical apparatuses, an overview of the first Swedish dramatization of the tragedy (1872) and an earlier version of the play, an excerpt that was originally published in a magazine one year prior to the first edition of the drama.

    Edith – Critical Editions of Finnish Literature

    Edith editions are based on scholarly analysis of manuscripts, first editions and other historical sources. They reflect and clarify Finnish literary culture for scholars, teachers and other readers interested in literature. " "Aleksis Kiven (1834 1872) viisinäytöksistä murhenäytelmää Karkurit (1867) pidettiin sen ilmestymisen aikoihin onnistuneempana kuin kirjailijan edeltäviä näytelmiä Nummisuutarit ja Kullervo. Myöhemmin arviot näytelmästä muuttuivat jyrkän päinvastaisiksi ja teosta

    kutsuttiin muun muassa literääriseksi aivokummitukseksi . Vasta 1960- ja 1970-lukujen onnistuneet teatteritoteutukset avasivat näytelmän ansioita uudelleen.

    Näytelmätekstin ja kommentaarien lisäksi Karkurien kriittinen editio tarjoaa uutta tietoa näytelmän monitasoisesta dramaturgiasta sekä teoksen julkaisu- ja teatterihistoriasta. Lisäksi editiossa valaistaan näytelmän suhteita eurooppalaiseen draamaperinteeseen, taustoitetaan sääty-yhteiskunnan murrosta 1800-luvun Suomessa sekä analysoidaan Kiven tapoja käyttää silosäemittaa näytelmässään.

    Editioon sisältyy Kirjallisessa

    Kuukauslehdessä 1866 julkaistu Karkurien katkelma sekä katsaukset teoksen ensimmäisiin ruotsin- ja suomenkielisiin näyttämösovituksiin."

    The series "QUELLEN UND FORSCHUNGEN ZUR LITERATUR- UND KULTURGESCHICHTE" (Sources and Research in the History of Literature and Culture), with a rich tradition stretching back to 1874, is an established feature among the renowned publications for German Literary Studies. Edited by Ernst Osterkamp and Werner Röcke at the Humboldt University of Berlin, the series presents examples of high-quality scholarship examining literary texts in conjunction with historical cultural phenomena, particularly with the other arts. There is an explicit demand for literary studies with a transdisciplinary approach. German literature from the Middle Ages to the present day forms the main focus of the series.

    As the historical cultural thrust of the series includes aspects of intercultural experience and national perceptions of the other, Quellen und Forschungen is also open to occasional comparative studies. The publications of the series include monographs, doctoral and professorial theses and thematically focused volumes of collected papers. Works presented for acceptance in the series are required to display scholarly relevance and excellence in method and presentation. An der Wiener Germanistik wurde im ersten Drittel des 20. Jahrhunderts mehr Frauen die akademische Lehrbefugnis verliehen als an allen anderen Instituten des deutschsprachigen Raums. 1921 habilitierte sich die Literaturhistorikerin Christine Touaillon (1878–1928), 1924 die Romantikforscherin Marianne Thalmann (1888–1975) und 1927 die Volks- und Germanenkundlerin Lily Weiser (1898–1987). Ausgehend von diesem Befund widmet sich die vorliegende Studie der Wissenschafts- und Institutionengeschichte der Wiener Germanistik und zeigt, dass das Selbstverständnis und die disziplinäre Ausdifferenzierung eines Faches wesentlich dessen personelle Umsetzung und damit auch den Status von Außenseitern, mithin von Frauen, im Wissenschaftsbetrieb beeinflussen.

    Due to their popularity with the American counterculture, the poems attributed to Hanshan, Shide and Fenggan have been translated several times in recent decades. However, previous translations have either been broadly popular in nature or have failed to understand fully the colloquial qualities of the originals. This new version provides a complete Chinese/English edition of the poems, aimed at combining readability with scholarly accuracy. It will prove useful to students of Chinese poetry and of Chinese religion, as well as anyone interested in a better understanding of works that have proved so influential in the history of East Asian Buddhism and in world literature.

    The Complete Poetry of Du Fu presents a complete scholarly translation of Chinese literature alongside the original text in a critical edition. The English translation is more scholarly than vernacular Chinese translations, and it is compelled to address problems that even the best traditional commentaries overlook.The main body of the text is a facing page translation and critical edition of the earliest Song editions and other sources. For convenience the translations are arranged following the sequence in Qiu Zhao’an’s Du shi xiangzhu (although Qiu’s text is not followed). Basic footnotes are included when the translation needs clarification or supplement. Endnotes provide sources, textual notes, and a limited discussion of problem passages. A supplement references commonly used allusions, their sources, and where they can be found in the translation.Scholars know that there is scarcely a Du Fu poem whose interpretation is uncontested. The scholar may use this as a baseline to agree or disagree. Other readers can feel confident that this is a credible reading of the text within the tradition. A reader with a basic understanding of the language of Chinese poetry can use this to facilitate reading Du Fu, which can present problems for even the most learned reader.

    The poetry of Ruan Ji has been previously translated several times, with one fully scholarly translation of both the poetry and the Fu (poetic expositions). The present translation not only provides a facing page critical Chinese text, it addresses two problems that have been ignored or not adequately treated in earlier works. First, it traces the history of the current text. The rather serious problems with this text will be, if not soluble, at least visible. Second, translations have been shaped by the anachronistic assumption that Ruan Ji was loyal to the declining Wei dynasty, when actual power had been taken by the Suma family, who founded the Jin dynasty after Ruan Ji's death. The introduction shows how and when that assumption took full shape five centuries after Ruan Ji lived and why it is not tenable. This leads to a different kind of translation, closer to what a contemporary reader might have understood and far less certain than referring it to some political event. The Poetry of Xi Kang presents a complete scholarly translation of his poetic works (including "Rhapsody on the Zither") alongside the original texts. Many of Xi Kang's poems are difficult and most are laden with allusions and quotations, adding another level of challenge to interpretation. Basic explanatory notes are provided. The translations are based on the critical modern edition of Xi Kang's work by Dai Mingyang, generally considered to be the best edition available. Important editions by Lu Xun and Lu Qinli are consulted on matters of variants, arrangement, and interpretation.

    The role played by women in the evolution of religious art and architecture has been largely neglected. This study of upper-class women in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries corrects that oversight, uncovering the active role they undertook in choosing designs, materials, and locations for monuments, commissioning repairs and additions to many parish churches, chantry chapels, and almshouses characteristic of the English countryside. Their preferred art, Barbara J. Harris shows, reveals their responses to the religious revolution and signifies their preferred identities.

    This book seeks to breathe new life into Friedrich Schlegel's idea of ‘poetic critique,’ but also asks about its limitations. What forms might critique take when practiced poetically? Can this practice be rigorous enough to maintain a right of citizenship in the academy? How can the notion of poetic critique intervene in current debates on critique and post-critique? These essays offer a variety of new perspectives on these and similar questions.

    Dieses Buch setzt sich mit Robert Walsers letzter Publikation, bestehend aus 38 Prosastücken, auseinander und fragt nach dem Stellenwert, der diesen Texten innerhalb der Berner Prosa zukommt. In dieser ersten umfassenden Untersuchung zu Die Rose konzentriert sich die Autorin auf eine immanente Erschliessung der Texte – zumal das Manuskript und die Korrespondenz mit dem Rowohlt-Verlag verloren gegangen sind und das Werk in der Walser-Forschung bislang wenig beachtet worden ist. So nimmt sie Komposition, Anlage und Intention der Sammlung in den Blick, geht aber auch Fragen zu Entstehungsgeschichte und Titel nach. In einer vertieften Lektüre arbeitet sie wesentliche Aspekte einzelner Prosastücke heraus, fragt aber auch nach der Bedeutung der Texte in Walsers Œuvre. Ein Fokus liegt auf der weiblichen Figur «Edith», zeichenhaft und textranszendierend als Leserin dargestellt. Anhand dieser Figur zeigt die Autorin die Vielschichtigkeit von Walsers Schaffe

    Letters were an important medium of everyday communication in the ancient Mediterranean. Soon after its emergence, the epistolary form was adopted by educated elites and transformed into a literary genre, which developed distinctive markers and was used, for instance, to give political advice, to convey philosophical ideas, or to establish and foster ties with peers. A particular type of this genre is the letter cast in verse, or epistolary poem, which merges the form and function of the letter with stylistic elements of poetry. In Greek literature, epistolary poetry is first safely attested in the fourth century AD and would enjoy a lasting presence throughout the Byzantine and early modern periods. The present volume introduces the reader to this hitherto unexplored chapter of post-classical Greek literature through an anthology of exemplary epistolary poems in the original Greek with facing English translation. This collection, which covers a broad chronological range from late antique epigrams of the Greek Anthology to the poetry of western humanists, is accompanied by exegetical commentaries on the anthologized texts and by critical essays discussing questions of genre, literary composition, and historical and social contexts of selected epistolary poems.

    This book explores literary culture in England between 1630 and 1700, focusing on connections between material, epistemic, and political conditions of literary writing and reading. In a number of case studies and close readings, it presents the seventeenth century as a period of change that saw a fundamental shift towards a new cultural configuration: neoclassicism. This shift affected a wide array of social practices and institutions, from poetry to politics and from epistemology to civility.

    Magicians, necromancers and astrologers are assiduous characters in the European golden age theatre. This book deals with dramatic characters who act as physiognomists or palm readers in the fictional world and analyses the fictionalisation of physiognomic lore as a practice of divination in early modern Romance theatre from Pietro Aretino and Giordano Bruno to Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca and Thomas Corneille.

    Nancy Huston - essays - novels - duplication - duplicity Canadienne, Parisienne, musicienne, écrivaine de rénommée internationale, Nancy Huston séduit aussi bien par ses essais provocateurs que par ses romans audacieux. Vivant entre deux langues et deux cultures, elle a conquis tant les publics francophone qu’anglophone. La narratrice d’Instruments des ténèbres formule cette phrase troublante : « Pas de vision sans division. Je ne cesse de comparer, combiner, séduire, traduire, trahir. J’ai le coeur et le cerveau fendus, comme les sabots du Malin. Anglais, français. » C’est avec cette citation comme point de départ que cet ouvrage propose une vision de son écriture centrée sur le dédoublement et la duplicité. Des auteurs en provenance de nombreux pays présentent un oeuvre où priment les thèmes de l’exil et de l’enfermement, de la musique et de la folie, de l’enfance et de la vieillesse, sous la plume d’une écrivaine qui, selon le Magazine littéraire, compte au nombre de ceux « qui ne cessent de détruire pour mieux pouvoir reconstruire ». Au tout début de ce livre, le lecteur découvrira un essai de Nancy Huston sur le film The Hours. Il s’agit en fait d’une réflexion fascinante sur la création, la vie et la mort : une vision qu’elle a dédoublée selon sa coutume en français et en anglais.

    While it has been argued that Foucault’s interest in literature was limited to the 1960s and of a mostly depoliticized nature, the philosopher's previously unpublished later works suggest a different reality, showing a sustained interest in literature and its politics. In the light of this new material, this study repositions Foucault's ideas within recent debates on the politics of literature.

    For secular, well-educated society, the “countryside” has always been a projection screen for desires and aversions. Almut Laufer examines the narrative traces left by rural Jewish communities by considering the texts of non-Jewish authors of the late Enlightenment and Counter-Enlightenment and the stories of Jewish authors of the 19th and early 20th centuries that reflect inner Jewish discourse.

    The polyphonic world poem Galáxias (1984) by Brazilian poet Haroldo de Campos has, to date, mainly been discussed in the broader context of concrete poetry and the Latin American neo-baroque. This book offers a completely new reading of the work as a poetic testimony to a century of catastrophes: references to traumatic historical events are embedded as ‘stumbling blocks’ in the text, guiding the reader towards a ‘Poetics of Stumbling’.

    A crucial question throughout the Middle Ages, the relationship between body and spirit cannot be understood without an interdisciplinary approach – combining literature, philosophy and medicine. Gathering contributions by leading international scholars from these disciplines, the collected volume explores themes such as lovesickness, the five senses, memory and passions, in order to shed new light on the complex nature of the medieval Self.

    Is time gendered? This international, interdisciplinary anthology studies the early modern era to analyse how material objects express, shape, complicate, and extend human concepts of time and how people commemorate time differently. It examines conceptual aspects of time, such as the categories women and men use to define it, and the somatic, lived experiences of time ranging between an instant and the course of family life. Drawing on a wide array of textual and material primary sources, this book assesses the ways thatgender and other categories of difference affect understandings of time.

    In diesem Open-Access-Buch untersuchen wir, was Datensouveränität aus ethischer und rechtlicher Perspektive bedeuten kann und entwickeln mittels des Modells der dynamischen Einwilligung konkrete Governance-Ansätze für den Gesundheitsbereich. Im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung stellt uns der verantwortungsvolle Umgang mit Daten vor eine Herausforderung: Mögliche Fortschritte in Forschung, Versorgung und öffentlicher Gesundheit rufen Fragen von Datenschutz und Kontrollansprüchen auf. Ein normatives Leitkonzept, das in den vergangenen Jahren beim Umgang mit Daten in den Vordergrund tritt, ist Datensouveränität.

    As marketing specialists know all too well, our experience of products is prefigured by brands: trademarks that identify a product and differentiate it from its competitors. This process of branding has hitherto gained little academic discussion in the field of literary studies. Literary authors and the texts they produce, though, are constantly 'branded': from the early modern period onwards, they have been both the object and the initiator of a complex marketing process. This book analyzes this branding process throughout the centuries, focusing on the case of the Netherlands. To what extent is our experience of Dutch literature prefigured by brands, and what role does branding play when introducing European authors in the Dutch literary field (or vice versa)? By answering these questions, the volume seeks to show how literary scholars can account for the phenomenon of branding.
