The Missing Play : By 1744, two separate editions of Shakespeare’s complete works have been published, but there is still a missing piece, a missing link…a missing play! Actress Peg Woffington is convinced that the role of a lifetime is contained within that mysterious play, “The History of Cardenio,” if only it can be found. Peg and her loyal steward, Ignatius Sancho, race across England from clue to clue, but they soon find that there are other players conspiring against them. Death, disguises, and intrigue combine in Jean Harambat’s Shakespearian-style comedy, painted with his trademark imaginative style. Harambat is also the author of Operation Copperhead and The Detection Club.

1898 : littérature et crise religieuse en Espagne

On a réuni en Espagne sous le nom de « Génération de 1898 », un groupe d'écrivains profondément marqués par le désastre qu'a représenté pour le pays la perte de ses dernières colonies, Cuba et les Philippines.Ces hommes sont très différents entre eux, mais ils ont quelques orientations communes : la mise en question radicale de l'Espagne officielle ; une volonté de changement réceptive aux formes de vie des autres nations européennes, sans faire disparaître les caractères propres à leur pays ; la recherche de nouvelles valeurs esthétiques et idéologiques éloignées de tout positivisme simpliste et faisant place au vital et au tragique. Rejetant une certaine vision de l...

  • Publisher: BRILL

The years between the accession of the house of Bourbon to the Spanish throne in 1700 and the coronation of Carlos III in 1759 have often been bundled up, and dismissed, together with the later years of Habsburg rule. Growing out of the first Anglophone academic workshop to focus exclusively on Early Bourbon Spanish America, this collective volume gives prominence to the first half of the eighteenth century as a distinct historical period. Discussing from different methodological and geographical perspectives the ways in which the Bourbon succession, international competition over access to Spanish American resources, and war affected the Indies, the contributors examine some of the key changes experienced in Spanish America at the local, provincial and imperial level.

Meditaciones sobre Ortega y Gasset

Cincuenta años después de la muerte de José Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955), un grupo de estudiosos de su obra han compartido y reunido sus investigaciones en este libro interdisciplinar para valorar con criterios objetivos y sin prejuicios la modernidad del legado intelectual orteguiano. Las diferentes perspectivas desde las que habitualmente se viene estudiando el pensamiento de Ortega aparecen aquí integradas en cuatro grandes bloques temáticos: filosófico, filológico, jurídico y socio-político. Sin renunciar al rigor y a la sistematicidad exigibles a su formación científica y a su vocación académica, los autores congregados en esta obra de homenaje, y a la vez de meditación, ofrecen al lector interesado una aproximación al sugerente universo de las ideas de Ortega y una ubicación ante las principales claves de su fértil y fructífero pensamiento. El motivo de estas Meditaciones sobre Ortega y Gasset es hacer un poco más transparente la presencia intelectual y cultural de Ortega en el tema de nuestro tiempo.

La recepción de José Ortega y Gasset en España

La restauración borbónica en España se extendió entre el 29 de diciembre de 1874 (pronunciamiento de Martínez Campos) y el 14 de abril de 1931 (proclamación de la Segunda República española). José Ortega y Gasset nació en 1883 y vivió casi medio siglo, 48 años, en este periodo. Durante el mismo desarrolló parte de su trabajo. Sin embargo, la fragilidad del sistema político, social y económico que desembocó en la II República y más tarde en la Guerra Civil española motivó una obra de Ortega que fue recibida desde unas tensiones que en gran medida la hicieron incomprensible en unos casos, enemiga en otros, pero también, al mismo tiempo, atractiva, genuina, cercana, univers...
