Body Story
Body Story conveys Julia K. DePree’s troubling journey from adolescence to adulthood and from anorexia to health.In high school, the five-foot-ten DePree weighed as little as 114 pounds. She was too weak to raise her arms above her head. “In a paradoxical way, I starved my body in order to understand my life,” she writes. “I had to place my body in suspension before I could move physically into sexuality. Starving allowed me to create an interim space between innocence and experience.”DePree renders the starkness of anorexia along with the process of recovery, relapse, and, ultimately, redemption. She also tells the story of the physical landscape, from her origins in the Midwest to the American South, Paris, and the vast New Mexican desert, as well as the psychic landscape of her body as it encounters the joys and challenges of maturation, childbirth, and motherhood.Body Story offers readers a new way of understanding women’s bodily experience, as it probes the mystery and the meaning of this illness. This evocative and often radiant vision is a unique window into womanhood and selfhood in middle-class, contemporary America.
Die Wende Von Der Aufklärung Zur Romantik 1760-1820
This volume is the twelfth to date in a series of works in French or English presenting the epochs and movements of a Comparative History of Literatures in European Languages (Histoire Comparée des Littératures de Langues Européennes). The original intention of the editors was to publish a four-volume history of European literature from 1760-1820, and the first of these volumes, Des Lumières au Romantisme. Genres en Vers, appeared as long ago as 1982. The volumes Genres en Prose and Théâtre are still awaited. In their absence the present volume, Epoche im _berblick, attempts a more comprehensive and rigorous treatment of the period and its historiographical problems than was initially planned, providing the reader with an overview of sixty eventful years of European literary history years in which German Classicism coincided with the birth, initially in Germany and England, of Romanticism. And at the centre of this turbulent period of European intellectual and literary history stands the French Revolution.

Die europäische Banise
Die „Asiatische Banise“ (1689) von Heinrich Anshelm von Zigler und Kliphausen (1663‐1697) war der erfolgreichste Roman der deutschen Barockliteratur und der berühmteste deutsche Roman vor Goethes Werther“. Wie dieser überschritt er nicht nur Gattungs-, sondern auch Sprachgrenzen. Der Roman und seine 1724 erstmals aufgelegte Fortsetzung von Johann Georg Hamann wurden im 18. Jahrhundert ins Schwedische, Russische, Niederländische und Französische übersetzt. Die einzigartige Rezeptionsgeschichte der „Asiatischen Banise“ wird in dem interdisziplinär angelegten Sammelband erstmals dokumentiert und analysiert. Die Beiträge zur deutschsprachigen Wirkungsgeschichte befassen sich u...
The Sublime Invention
Ballooning, like the Enlightenment, was a Europe-wide movement and a massive cultural phenomenon. Lynn argues that in order to understand the importance of science during the age of the Enlightenment and Atlantic revolutions, it is crucial to explain how and why ballooning entered and stayed in the public consciousness.
