The United Kingdom and Spain in the Eighteenth Century

This book seeks to bridge a gap in the historiography of Spain and Great Britain by arguing that while the eighteenth century witnessed periods of tension, conflict and hostility between the two powers, their relationship remained multifaceted and significant in other spheres. Throughout the eighteenth century, Spain and Great Britain passed through phases of open warfare, armed peace and deep suspicion. The British capture of Gibraltar and Menorca dealt a severe blow to the newly established Bourbon dynasty in Spain. Even in times of war, however, not all communication channels were closed, with numerous formal and informal contacts being made despite the volatile political climate and enmi...

The second installment of the internationally best selling Erik Winter series It's August and the annual Gothenburg Party is in full swing. But this year the bacchanalian blowout is simmering with ethnic discord spurred by nativist gangs. When a woman is found murdered in the park-her identity as inscrutable as the blood-red symbol on the tree above her body-Winter's search for her missing child leads him from sleek McMansions to the Gothenburg fringes, where "northern suburbs" is code for "outsider" and the past is inescapable-even for Sweden's youngest chief inspector. Psychologically gripping and socially astute, The Shadow Woman puts this master of Swedish noir on track to build an American audience on par with his international fame.

Renaissancen des Realismus?

Repräsentationen sozialer Ungleichheiten in Literatur und Film werfen die Frage auf, wer was wie darstellt – eine Problematik, die sich für Narrative, Fiktionen und Figurationen wie für die analytischen Betrachtung von Mediendarstellungen und öffentlichen Diskursen gleichermaßen stellt. Schon die traditionelle Literatur, die immer auch als ein Archiv sozialer Erfahrung aufgefasst werden kann, unterliegt stilistischen, thematischen und genretypischen Bindungen, die epochenweise unterlaufen oder konterkariert wurden. Allerdings verraten die Zugangsbedingungen zu Bildung sowie zu kanonischer Literaturproduktion und -rezeption auch in der Moderne sowie der jüngsten Gegenwart soziale Ungl...
