Festive Drama
Essays on festive drama - plays, pageantry and traditional ceremonies - of the European middle ages, with comparative material.
The Life and Thought of Friedrich Engels
Worldwide political changes since 1990 have driven a re-evaluation of Marxism, a renaissance in Marx-studies, and a renewed interest in his lifelong intellectual partner and personal friend Friedrich Engels. In Terrell Carver’s 30th anniversary edition of his pioneering biographical study of the ‘junior partner’ – which still remains the only one to balance Engels’s pre-Marx, with-Marx, and post-Marx writings, giving a rounded view of his life and thought – Carver adopts a comparative and critical approach, neither taking the ‘perfect partnership’ as a given, nor presuming that all the intellectual fireworks were Marx’s.

Lopende vuurtjes
De eerste aflevering van 'Rythmus. Jaarboek voor de studie van het fin de siècle' staat in het teken van de Nederlandse en Belgische culturele connecties met Engeland. De auteurs verkennen wat de impact is geweest van Engelse kunstvernieuwingen op de opvattingen over architectuur, kunst en literatuur ten tijde van het fin de siècle, en de weerslag daarvan op de Nederlandse en Belgische culturele productie. Centraal staan de culturele recipiënten - critici, academici, literatoren, vertalers, kunstenaars en architecten - die deze overdracht en integratie bewerkstelligden.
Neo-Latin Drama in Early Modern Europe
From ca. 1300 a new genre developed in European literature, Neo-Latin drama. Building on medieval drama, vernacular theatre and classical drama, it spread around Europe. It was often used as a means to educate young boys in Latin, in acting and in moral issues. Comedies, tragedies and mixed forms were written. The Societas Jesu employed Latin drama in their education and public relations on a large scale. They had borrowed the concept of this drama from the humanist and Protestant gymnasia, and perfected it to a multi media show. However, the genre does not receive the attention that it deserves. In this volume, a historical overview of this genre is given, as well as analyses of separate plays. Contributors include: Jan Bloemendal, Jean-Frédéric Chevalier, Cora Dietl, Mathieu Ferrand, Howard Norland, Joaquín Pascual Barea, Fidel Rädle, and Raija Sarasti Willenius.
