Old Age and Ageing in British and American Culture and Literature
The essays in this volume explore fiction and the arts as sources of information about how artists encounter age(ing) in different epochs and different social and cultural environments. The authors deal with questions of the ageing artist and his or her style, with specific gender problems and the representation of age in popular culture and film. The volume makes no claim to present a definitive analysis of age(ing) but rather attempts to show how fiction and the arts add a further dimension to our understanding of the quality of old age and ageing.
Queen Elizabeth I
This work marks the 400th anniversary of the death of one of England's greatest monarchs, a highly intelligent and successful ruler. The volume appeals to everyone interested in the charismatic character of Elizabeth I, her time and cultural afterlife. Contributors focus on important aspects of Elizabeth's subtle and resourceful political power and the longstanding struggle she faced at home and abroad as well as the threats posed to her realm. This edition presents a series of essays about fictional representations of Queen Elizabeth I in literature, music, and film. Articles illuminate the fascinating story of her numerous afterlives and their significance for the cultural history of England, its sense of identity and psyche. Essays investigate the ceremony, festivities, and dance practices at her court and bring to life the cultural significance of this colorful and extraordinary monarch. Christa Jansohn is professor of British culture at the University of Bamberg, Germany.
The Reception of D. H. Lawrence in Europe
A pioneering scholarly collection of essays outlining D.H. Lawrence's reception and influence in Europe
Shakespeare without Boundaries
Shakespeare without Boundaries: Essays in Honor of Dieter Mehl offers a wide-ranging collection of essays written by an international team of distinguished scholars who attempt to define, to challenge, and to erode boundaries that currently inhibit understanding of Shakespeare, and to exemplify how approaches that defy traditional bounds of study and criticism may enhance understanding and enjoyment of a dramatist who acknowledged no boundaries in art. The Volume is published in tribute to Professor Dieter Mehl, whose critical and scholarly work on authors from Chaucer through Shakespeare to D. H. Lawrence has transcended temporal and national boundaries in its range and scope, and who, as Ann Jennalie Cook writes, has contributed significantly to the erasure of political boundaries that have endangered the unity of German literary scholarship and, more broadly, through his work for the International Shakespeare Association, to the globalization of Shakespeare studies. Published by University of Delaware Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.
Shakespeare Jubilees: 1769-2014
This volume contains a collection of essays on Shakespeare Jubilees around the world, from 1769 to 2014. The contributions range from the elaborate celebrations in Shakespeare's hometown to more modest festivities elsewhere; and from ambitious, theatrical, and politically loaded demonstrations to nationally colored, culturally distinct, and idiosyncratic commemorations. The variety of ways in which geographically distant countries have remembered Shakespeare has never before been the object of a comparative study. The book's essays will throw new light on Shakespeare as a shared international heritage.

Lady Chatterley
Leidenschaftlich und mit hohem künstlerischem und moralischem Anspruch widmete sich D.H. Lawrence den großen Fragen seiner Zeit – der er oft weit voraus war. „Lady Chatterley`s Lover“, sein letzter großer, 1928 fertiggestellter, aber erst seit 1960 in ungekürzter Form öffentlich verfügbarer Roman um den schwer kriegsversehrten Sir Clifford, seine Frau Lady Chatterley und deren Liebhaber, den Förster Mellors, ist dafür ein Paradebeispiel. Eindrucksvoll schildert Lawrence die gesellschaftlichen Verkrustungen seiner Zeit, unter denen seine Protagonisten leiden, und er erzählt – unkonventionell und freizügig – wie schön die Liebe sein kann, wenn sie von Zwängen befreit ist. Die Übersetzung der „Lady Chatterley“ von Georg Goyert, der seinen Ruf als großer Übersetzer mit der von James Joyce autorisierten Übertragung des „Ulysses“ ins Deutsche begründete, ist ein editorisches Juwel. Es wurde 2013 im Nachlass von Goyert aufgefunden; seine wissenschaftliche Bearbeitung und Einordnung hat die Bamberger Anglistin Christa Jansohn übernommen, die auch das Vorwort zu diesem E-Book verfasst hat.

German Shakespeare Studies at the Turn of the Twenty-first Century
"This collection of fifteen essays offers a sample of German Shakespeare studies at the turn of the century. The articles are written by scholars in the old "Bundeslander" and deal with topics such as culture, memory and natural sciences in Shakespeare's work, Shakespearean spin-offs, and the reception of Venice and Shylock in Germany. Series: Shakespeare and His Contemporaries."--Publisher's website.
The Woman who Rode Away
"In his introduction, James Lasdun discusses the theme of liberation and the ways in which it is conveyed in these works. Using the restored texts of the Cambridge edition, this volume includes further reading, a new chronology and notes by Paul Poplawski."--BOOK JACKET.
Women in Love
D. H. Lawrence's Women in Love - 'the beginning of a new world', as he called it - suffered in the course of its revision, transcription, and publication some of the most spectacular damage ever inflicted upon one of his books. Until now no text of Women in Love has ever been published which is faithful to all of Lawrence's revisions. This edition, edited by scholars in England and America, clears the text of literally thousands of accumulated errors allowing its readers to read and understand the novelist's work as he himself created it. The edition includes the 'Foreword' Lawrence wrote in 1919 and two preliminary and discarded chapters which have attracted widespread critical and biographical discussion. The introduction gives a full history of the novel's composition, revision, publication and reception, and notes explain allusions and references; the textual apparatus records all variants between the base-text and the first printed editions.
