Sibelius
One of the twentieth century’s greatest composers, Jean Sibelius (1865–1957) virtually stopped writing music during the last thirty years of his life. Recasting his mysterious musical silence and his undeniably influential life against the backdrop of Finland’s national awakening, Sibelius will be the definitive biography of this creative legend for many years to come. Glenda Dawn Goss begins her sweeping narrative in the Finland of Sibelius’s youth, which remained under Russian control for the first five decades of his life. Focusing on previously unexamined events, Goss explores the composer’s formative experiences as a Russian subject and a member of the Swedish-speaking Finnish...

Enlightenment Underground
Online supplement, "Mulsow: Additions to Notes drawn from the 2002 edition of Moderne aus dem Untergrund": full versions of nearly 300 notes that were truncated in the print edition. Hosted on H. C. Erik Midelfort's website. Martin Mulsow’s seismic reinterpretation of the origins of the Enlightenment in Germany won awards and renown in its original German edition, and now H. C. Erik Midelfort's translation makes this sensational book available to English-speaking readers. In Enlightenment Underground, Mulsow shows that even in the late seventeenth century some thinkers in Germany ventured to express extremely dangerous ideas, but did so as part of a secret underground.

Nordic Private Collections of Chinese Objects
This book explores the ways in which Nordic private collectors displayed their collections of Chinese objects in their homes. This leads to a reconsideration of how to define collecting and display by analysing the difference between objects serving as decorative or collectible items, while tracing collecting and display trends of the twentieth century. Minna Törmä examines four Scandinavian collections as case studies: Kustaa Hiekka, Sophus Black, Osvald Sirén and Marie-Louise and Gunnar Didrichsen, all of whom had professional backgrounds (a jeweler, two businessmen and a scholar) and for whom collecting became a passion and an educational endeavour. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, museum studies, Chinese studies and design history.

Kætterbreve
Disse breve føjer sig smukt til trebindsudgaven af Martin A. Hansens dagbøger. Her er det Hansens korrespondance, der bliver præsenteret - breve til og fra Hansen, fra en bred vifte af kendte profiler, heriblandt Thorkild Bjørnvig, Tage Skou-Hansen og Frank Jæger m.fl., til ukendte mænd og kvinder, der henvendte sig til Hansen med spørgsmål og kommentarer. Brevene vidner om diskussioner om krig og efterkrig, ansvar og skyld, litteraturen og dens rolle, og de fungerer derved som en kilde til forståelse af forfatteren og hans tankeverden samt den tid, han var en del af. Forsynet med grundige noter og kommentarer.
Radikale Frühaufklärung in Deutschland 1680–1720
Atemberaubend erzählte Ideengeschichte. Martin Mulsows Buch "Moderne aus dem Untergrund" wurde 2002 schnell zu einem Standardwerk der Aufklärungsforschung und sorgte für einen Schub neuer Denkanstöße. Der Kulturwissenschaftler legt nun eine grundlegende Überarbeitung und Erweiterung vor: "Radikale Frühaufklärung in Deutschland 1680 - 1720" bietet in zwei Bänden eine umfassende Bestandsaufnahme des radikalen Denkens, das sich in Deutschland um 1700 entwickelt hat. Mulsow verfolgt die "clandestine" - nur in Handschriften oder anonymen Traktaten verbreitete - Wissensproduktion mit detektivischem Spürsinn in jüdischen Polemiken gegen das Christentum, medizinischen Dissertationen, naturrechtlichen Debatten, gelehrten Religionsgeschichten, atheistischen Pamphleten und politischen Traktaten. Er korrigiert das gängige Bild der Aufklärung, indem er zeigt, wie mit neuen Gedanken experimentiert und gespielt worden ist und kleine Gruppen den Mut besaßen, freiwillig oder unfreiwillig den Stein der Veränderung ins Rollen zu bringen.
