The Undiscover'd Country
W.G. Sebald (1944-2001) is the most prominent and perhaps the most enigmatic German-language writer of recent decades. His books have had a more profound impact outside the German-speaking world than those of any other. His innovative approach to writing brings to the fore concerns that are central to contemporary culture: the relationship between memory, history, and trauma; the experience of exile and our relation to place; and the role of literature (and photography) in the remembrance of the past. This collection of essays places travel at the center of Sebald's poetics and shows how his appropriation of travel in its myriad historical and cultural forms -- tourism, the pilgrimage, the w...
Tragedy in Paradise
Hart's study views bourgeois tragedy and related forms of "family" drama as being the enactment of a threat to stability, to bourgeois or domestic order, organized so as to defeat that threat and relieve the anxieties of a middle-class audience.
To Trap a Savage
Savage is a man with many enemies. However, his skills as a CIA trained special agent, blended with the abilities born of his Comanche heritage, have enabled him to avoid the attempts at revenge sponsored by those who would like to see him dead. With the disappearance of his best friend, Paul Martinet, those who hate him may finally have the best shot at killing the Indian. The spider hopes for the perfect trap that will forever silence two men who know too much about the secrets of Watergate and the spread of the horrific disease, AIDS. By blending flashbacks with vigorous action and demotic dialogue, Dixon Green weaves a contemporary mystery, where one man, Savage, lives both as prey and predator. The reader follows him, thinking - here is a stoic, a man without feelings, but as the story unfolds, it is clear that his is an exceptional, sensitive spirit. Dixon Green's To Trap A Savage is the study of an intrepid man who lives by the dictum that Truth is the final goal.
Eduard Gans and the Hegelian Philosophy of Law
Gans ranks at the head of that important group of Hegelian thinkers that bridged the generations of Hegel and Marx. ! Yet there is a large gap between Gans 's historical importance and the scholarship on him. Despite a renewal of interest in Gans's work on the Continent,2 Gans remains almost completely unknown to English-Ianguage scholars, and almost none ofhis work has been 3 previously translated. His Prefaces to his posthumous editions of Hegel's writings are inaccessib1e to English speakers, despite the fact that they shed important light on the authenticity of the so-called Additions to those texts. His Preface to Hegel's Philosophy ofLaw has never been translated before, while his Pref...
The Shepherd, the Volk, and the Middle Class

We Were Europeans
Apersonal History of a Turbulent Century.
Moral Formation according to Paul
This fresh treatment of Paul's ethics addresses this question: how, according to Paul, can Christian communities know how God wants them to live? Leading biblical scholar James Thompson explains that Paul offers a coherent moral vision based not only on the story of Christ but also on the norms of the law. Paul did not live with a sharp dichotomy of law and gospel and recognized the continuing importance of the law. Thompson makes a distinctive contribution by locating the roots of Paul's concrete ethical thought in Hellenistic Judaism rather than Hellenistic moral philosophy. Students of New Testament ethics and Pauline theology will value this work.
