The Real and the Sacred

The King & the Adulteress
"praise for the Italian edition: ""I read this book with passion from beginning to end."--Pierre Bourdieu "A remarkable study of "King Lear" . . . an extremely interesting and, I think, tenable thesis . . . at least as tenable as Ernest Jones's study of Hamlet's oedipal fixation."--Anthony Burgess "I was truly fascinated by this book, which introduces a totally unexpected, though perfectly plausible and, in a sense, obvious, reading of "Madame Bovary," From now on, it will be impossible to ignore this work whenever a study of Flaubert's novel is undertaken."--Jean-Pierre Richard

Drossaart Lulofs published: Nicolaus Damascenus On the Philosophy oj Aristotle (Leiden: Brill), i. e. fragments of his 1tEpt TIj.

Those negotiations proved fruitless, as the new British ministry rejected all proposals for additional articles. On September 3, 1783, the commissioners signed the Definitive Treaty of Peace, which was essentially identical to the preliminary articles signed the previous November.
