Schrijversmythen
Literaire schrijvers beïnvloedden in de twintigste eeuw de publieke opinie, veroorzaakten oproer en putten daarbij uit hun persoonlijke levens. Veel schrijvers ontwikkelden zich tot publieke figuren die regelmatig te vinden waren in de media en daardoor een grote maatschappelijke impact hadden. Zodra schrijverschap een publieke aangelegenheid wordt, verandert de mens langzaam maar zeker in een mythe. In hun werk en in hun optredens geven schrijvers vorm aan vaak tot de verbeelding sprekende verhalen over hun schrijverschap. Voor die verhalen zijn verschillende veelvoorkomende schrijverstypes voorhanden, zoals de antiburger, de Grote Schrijver of de literaire beroemdheid. In elk hoofdstuk va...
Avant-Garde and Criticism
Avant-Garde and Criticism sheds new light on the complex aims, functions, practices and contexts of art-criticism in relation to the European avant-garde. Although many avant-garde works and the avant-gardes of various countries have been analyzed, considerably less attention has been given to the reviews in newspapers and journals on avant-garde literature, art, architecture and film. This volume of Avant-Garde Critical Studies will look at how art critics operated in a strategic way. The strategies of avant-garde criticism are diverse. Art critics, especially when they are artists themselves, attempt to manipulate the cultural climate in their favour. They use their position to legitimize ...

Green and Pleasant Land
The present volume, number VIII in the series Groningen Studies in Cultural Change, offers a selection of papers presented at a workshop organised by Amanda Gilroy and Wil Verhoeven entitled Green and Pleasant Land: English Culture and the Romantic Countryside. The contributions in this volume illuminate the ideological investments of particular ways of experiencing the English countryside of the Romantic era. While their analyses of cultural change are historically specific, they explore, too, the conflicted present-day legacies of romantic landscapes.
Schooling and Society
The present volume, number VI in the series Groningen Studies in Cultural Change, offers a selection of papers presented at the International Conference 'Knowledge and Learning' held in Groningen in November 2001. It is the second of three volumes. The first (volume V in the series), entitled Learned Antiquity: Scholarship and Society in the Near East, the Greco-Roman World, and the Early Medieval West has been edited by Alasdair A. MacDonald, Michael W. Twomey and Gerrit J. Reinink.

Huussen. The present volume, Schooling and Society: The Ordering and Reordering of Knowledge in the Western Middle Ages, contains new studies on a wide range of matters pertaining to scholarship (and to changes in scholarship, in the European West) from the early Middle Ages throught to the Renaissance and beyond. The disciplines discussed include: literature, philosophy, cultural history, and education.
De roman in de negentiende eeuw
Aan het begin van de negentiende eeuw zagen geletterden de roman als een nieuwkomer. De opkomst van het genre werd dan ook met wantrouwen gevolgd. Sommige nieuwe romans bleken geschikt als tijdverdrijf maar de meeste waren ronduit gevaarlijk. Pas in de loop van de negentiende eeuw werd de roman een volwaardig lid van de letterkundige familie. Toos Streng beschrijft de verandering van status, inhoud en vorm van de roman in samenhang met sociale en politieke opvattingen en ontwikkelingen in het boekenvak. Strengs omvangrijke en baanbrekende literair- en boekhistorische onderzoek leidt tot een nieuw beeld van de negentiende eeuw. Haar boek is 'een standaardwerk dat decennialang gezaghebbend zal blijven' (Joep Leerssen).
Examining Paratextual Theory and its Applications in Digital Culture
The paratext framework is now used in a variety of fields to assess, measure, analyze, and comprehend the elements that provide thresholds, allowing scholars to better understand digital objects. Researchers from many disciplines revisit paratextual theories in order to grasp what surrounds text in the digital age. Examining Paratextual Theory and its Applications in Digital Culture suggests a theoretical and practical tool for building bridges between disciplines interested in conducting joint research and exploration of digital culture. Helping scholars from different fields find an interdisciplinary framework and common language to study digital objects, this book serves as a useful reference for academics, librarians, professionals, researchers, and students, offering a collaborative outlook and perspective.
Contemporary Approaches to Mesopotamian Literature
This volume lays theoretical and methodological groundwork for the analysis of Mesopotamian literature. A comprehensive first chapter by the editors explores critical contemporary issues in Sumerian and Akkadian narrative analysis, and nine case studies written by an international array of scholars test the responsiveness of Sumerian and Akkadian narratives to diverse approaches drawn from literary studies and theories of fiction. Included are intertextual and transtextual analyses, studies of narrative structure and focalization, and treatments of character and characterization. Works considered include the Standard Babylonian Gilgamesh Epic and many other Sumerian and Akkadian narratives of gods, heroes, kings, and monsters.
Antiquity Renewed
This volume deals with similarities and correspondences between Late Antiquity (c. 300-600 AD) and the Renaissance (roughly after c. 1350). In both periods, the presence of two competing forces, the ancient classical and the Christian traditions, led to a constant dynamic of thought and creativity. The ten essays in this volume present new views on these issues in the fields of political philosophy, theology, law, literature, art, and architecture.
