    Gypsies and the British Imagination, 1807-1930, is the first book to explore fully the British obsession with Gypsies throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth. Deborah Epstein Nord traces various representations of Gypsies in the works of such well-known British authors John Clare, Walter Scott, William Wordsworth, George Eliot, Arthur Conan Doyle, and D. H. Lawrence. Nord also exhumes lesser-known literary, ethnographic, and historical texts, exploring the fascinating histories of nomadic writer George Borrow, the Gypsy Lore Society, Dora Yates, and other rarely examined figures and institutions.Gypsies were both idealized and reviled by Victorian and early-twentieth-century Britons. Associated with primitive desires, lawlessness, cunning, and sexual excess, Gypsies were also objects of antiquarian, literary, and anthropological interest. As Nord demonstrates, British writers and artists drew on Gypsy characters and plots to redefine and reconstruct cultural and racial difference, national and personal identity, and the individual's relationship to social and sexual orthodoxies. Gypsies were long associated with pastoral conventions and, in the nineteenth century, came to stand in for the ancient British past. Using myths of switched babies, Gypsy kidnappings, and the Gypsies' murky origins, authors projected onto Gypsies their own desires to escape convention and their anxieties about the ambiguities of identity. The literary representations that Nord examines have their roots in the interplay between the notion of Gypsies as a separate, often despised race and the psychic or aesthetic desire to dissolve the

    Examining tales of notorious figures in Renaissance England, including the mercenary Thomas Stukeley, the Barbary corsair John Ward, and the wandering adventurers the Sherley brothers, Laurie Ellinghausen sheds new light on the construction of the early modern renegade and its depiction in English prose, poetry, and drama during a period of capitalist expansion. Unlike previous scholarship which has focused heavily on positioning rogue behaviour within the dialogue of race, gender, religion, and nationalism, Pirates, Traitors, and Apostates: Renegade Identities in Early Modern England shows how domestic issues of class and occupation exerted a major influence on representations of renegades, and heightened their appeal to the diverse audiences of early modern England. By looking at renegade tales from this perspective, Ellinghausen reveals a renegade, who, despite being stigmatized as an outsider, becomes a major profiteer during the period of early expansion, and ultimately a key figure in the creation of a national English identity

    Verführer, Schurken, Magier: Die Trias des Titels steht prototypisch für historische Personen und fiktive Figuren, die durch Normverletzungen, Regelverstöße, Sittendelikte, Wertemissachtungen, Verhaltensübertretungen oder Moralvergehen aus der gesellschaftlichen Mitte verbannt worden waren, oder die sich selbst von der Gesellschaft abgewandt haben und diese von außerhalb in Frage stellen. Als soziale Außenseiter und Widersacher der Gesellschaft werden diese Personen und Figuren überwiegend negativ dargestellt. Das heißt aber nicht immer, dass sie unter negativen Vorzeichen rezipiert wurden: Denn in ihren Eigenschaften und Verhaltensweisen spiegelt sich oft das Fragwürdige gängiger Normen, Sitten und Bräuche, aber auch die Suche nach Rechtfertigung alter sowie die Begründung neuer ethischer Normen und Werte. Kunst und Literatur haben sich ihrer bedient, um die gesellschaftlicher Praxis zugrunde liegenden verbindlichen sittlichen Normen der jeweils herrschenden Moral und die Begründung von Formen und Prinzipien rechten Handelns zu beweisen oder auch zu verwerfen. Unterschiedliche Zeiten fassen sie durchaus unterschiedlich, ja widersprüchlich auf, und viele von ihnen sind bis heute in Literatur und Kunst, auf der Bühne und im Film lebendig geblieben. Der dritte Band der Reihe "Mittelaltermythen" stellt populäre Leitbilder und Feindbilder, Warnfiguren und Identifikationsfiguren vor, die aus einem mittelalterlichen Verständnis Grenzen überschreiten, Normen in Frage stellen oder neue Werte stiften. So unterschiedliche Verführer wie der Rattenfänger von Hameln oder Don Juan, Verführerinnen wie Dalila oder Dido, Schurken wie Reineke Fuchs oder François Villon, Schälke wie Eulenspiegel oder Markolf, Magier wie Virgilius oder Merlin zeigen Chancen wie Gefährdungen menschlichen Seins und gesellschaftlichen Lebens, machen Eigenschaften und Verhalten, Positionen und Mentalitäten auf prägnante Weise sichtbar und sind vielfach bis heute in Literatur und Kunst, auf der Bühne und im Film lebendig geblieben.

    In reality, medieval outlaws were dangerous, desperate individuals. In the fiction of the Middle Ages, however, the possibilities afforded by their position on societies' margins granted them the ability to fill a number of transitory, transgressive roles: young adventurer, freedom fighter, and even saint. Outlawry, Liminality, and Sanctity in the Literature of the Early Medieval North Atlantic examines the development of the literary outlaw in the early Middle Ages, when traditions drawn from Anglo-Saxon England, early Christian Ireland, and Viking Age Iceland informed a generous view of itinerant criminality and facilitated the application of outlaw tropes to moral questions of conduct in both secular and religious life. Taken together, the traditions of the North Atlantic archipelago reveal a world of interconnected cultures with an expansive view of movement across boundaries both literal and conceptual, capable of finding value in unlikely places and countenancing the challenges presented by such discoveries.

    What happens when we communicate with other people? The topic has been much studied in sociolinguistics, as well as by philosophers, sociologists, and communication theorists; but it is also one of the main concerns of novelists, and it is a major source of comedy, intrigue, and pathos in many novels. To illustrate this, R. A. York studies eight classics from nineteenth-century England - Emma, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, North and South, Barchester Towers, The Woman in White, Great Expectations, and Middlemarch - showing that literature is not only a celebration of the power to communicate, but also a celebration of the need to discipline communication Some of the novels treated by York depict a seemingly stable society within which strong conventions for what and how something can be communicated exist. But the norms of communication are challenged and threatened by two things: the presence of outsiders - strangers who do not share the social norms or the common knowledge they imply - and the wish of characters, through shame, modesty, or self-interest, to keep their knowledge and feelings secret from others. These two factors are, in fact, often intertwined - the arrival of strangers in a community creates an atmosphere of secrecy and reserve, which brings with it uncertainty, tension, curiosity, and excitement In thus recording social mobility and the disturbances it brings to the community, the novelists of nineteenth-century England offer - more or less openly - a comment on the impact of historical change, showing how characters seek to save themselves from the challenge of new degrees of communication (that is, to maintain self-respect and social cohesion by restricting the extent to which they allow themselves to know others and to be known by them). If the novelists often show sympathy for such a defensive strategy, they also celebrate the openness and fullness of communication which may be forced upon their characters, and they explore forms of communication that are all the more satisfying because they are difficult - often indirect and gained at the cost of overcoming xenophobia and the comfort of secrecy
