Center Stage
Grand palaces of culture, opera theaters marked the center of European cities like the cathedrals of the Middle Ages. As opera cast its spell, almost every European city and society aspired to have its own opera house, and dozens of new theaters were constructed in the course of the "long" nineteenth century. At the time of the French Revolution in 1789, only a few, mostly royal, opera theaters, existed in Europe. However, by the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries nearly every large town possessed a theater in which operas were performed, especially in Central Europe, the region upon which this book concentrates. This volume, a revised and extended version of two well-reviewed bo...

In reintroducing “a little-remembered actress to a new American audience” biographer Beth Holgram delivers a revelatory portrait of Helena Modjeska—from unparalleled European success to her reign as the most acclaimed, and most recognized female celebrity in the late nineteenth-century United States. In 1876, Poland’s leading actress, Helena Modrzejewska, accompanied by her husband, the self-stylized Count Bozente, emigrated to southern California to give up her career and establish a utopian commune. In light of its f...
Leave, left, left
Der Titel dieses Sammelbandes – Leave, left, left – wurde inspiriert von Jenny Erpen-becks Roman Gehen, ging, gegangen (2015), mit dem die Autorin auf aktuelle Fluchtbewegungen nach Deutschland reagierte. Überdies verweist die temporale Konjugation des Verbs to leave auf die unterschiedlichen Zeitlichkeiten einer Flucht, die von dem Entschluss zu gehen über die Passage bis zur Ankunft im Zielland reicht. Kommen Geflüchtete in einem Land an, dann wird aus dem leave die Perfektform left, also eine aus Perspektive der vollendeten Gegenwart abgeschlossene Handlung, die in der Vergangenheit liegt. Diese Vergangenheit ist jedoch nicht unbedingt endgültig und kann sich jederzeit wieder änd...
