"This volume presents a series of papers which cover the general theme of the reception of antiquity, a topic which has in recent years become a discipline in itself, or what some might call a 'cross-discipline'. Indeed the Nachleben of the (culture of) classical antiquity, and of antiquity as a whole, manifests in a number of diverse domains, opening up the field of reception studies to scholars from disciplines other than Classics. This collection of papers illustrates this diversity, uniting as it does original research by scholars from a variety of disciplines: classicists, historians, theatre historians, architectural historians, psychologists, archaeologists, artists, and more, all of whom have treated some aspect of the so-called 'classical tradition' by means of their own individual approaches, leading to a volume rich and dense in themes and methodologies. 'Receptions of antiquity' has been written by friends of Freddy Decreus, in honour of his career, and in celebration of his thought."--

Aangevuld met de bibliografie van de friese taal- en literatuurwetenschap.
Dit boek behandelt het intrigerende leven en gedachtengoed van twee van de merkwaardigste literaire figuren uit het 19de-eeuwse en vroeg 20ste-eeuwse Vlaanderen, Rosalie en Virginie Loveling. Aan de hand van literair werk, brieven en andere documenten wordt ingegaan op de familiale achtergrond van de schrijfsters, hun contacten met vooruitstrevende en liberale kringen, en hun uitgesproken engagement in maatschappelijke vraagstukken. Er is aandacht voor hun opvattingen over de relaties tussen katholieken en vrijzinnigen, over de status en de maatschappelijke rol van de vrouw, en over hete hangijzers als de erfelijkheidsproblematiek. Hun eerste verzen en novellen genoten direct grote waardering en werden erkend als vernieuwend. Na de dood van Rosalie engageerde Virginie zich in de schoolstrijd, maar het extreem polemische verdween weldra uit haar geschriften en zij genoot uiteindelijk waardering over de partijgrenzen heen.

"In Sound Authorities, Edward J. Gillin shows how experiences of music and sound played a crucial role in nineteenth-century scientific inquiry in Britain. Where other studies have focused on vision in Victorian England, Gillin focuses on hearing and aurality, making the claim that the development of the natural sciences in Britain in this era cannot be understood without attending to how the study of sound and music contributed to the fashioning of new scientific knowledge. Gillin's book is about how scientific practitioners attempted to fashion themselves as authorities on sonorous phenomena, coming into conflict with traditional musical elites as well as religious bodies. Gillin pays atte...
An assessment of the role of the Middle Ages in national historiography and in modern conceptions of national identity, looking at relatively young nations, and regions which claim national traditions but were slow to achieve, or regain, separate statehood. Examples range from Ireland and Iceland through Austria and Italy to Finland and Greece.
Music and World-Building in the Colonial City investigates how nineteenth-century migrants to Australia used music as a resource for world-building, focusing on coalmining regions of New South Wales. It explores how music-making helped British migrants to create communities in unfamiliar country, often with little to no infrastructure. Its key themes are as follows: people’s relationships to music within specific contexts; how music-making intersects with class, gender and ethnic background; identity through music. Situated within a wider discourse on music and identity, music and well-being and music and emotions, this is an authoritative study of historical communities and their relationship with music. It will be of particular interest to scholars and researchers working in the fields of sociomusicology, colonial studies and cultural studies.
