The Legacy of Elise Hall
The saxophone is a globally popular instrument, often closely associated with renowned players such as Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, or more recently, Kenny G. Less well known, however, is the historical presence of women saxophonists in the nineteenth century, shortly after the instrument’s invention. Elise Hall (1853–1924), a prominent wealthy socialite in Boston at the turn of the twentieth century, defied social norms by mastering the saxophone, an unconventional instrument for a woman of her time. Despite her career’s profound impact, Elise Hall remains relatively obscure in broader music communities. Her untiring work as an impresario, patron, and performer made a significant ma...
The Pastoral Luther
Sixteen church historians here examine Martin Luther in an uncommon waynot as Reformer or theologian but as pastor. Luther's work as parish pastor commanded much of his time and energy in Wittenberg. After first introducing the pastoral Luther, including his theology of the cross, these chapters discuss Luther's preaching and use of language (including humor), investigate his teaching ministry in depth, especially in light of the catechism, and explore his views on such things as the role of women, the Virgin Mary, and music. The book finally probes Luther's sentiments on monasticism and secular authority. Contributors: Charles P. Arand James M. Estes Eric W. Gritsch Robert Kolb Beth Kreitzer Robin A. Leaver Mickey L.

Daumier Drawings
By combining Daumier's drawings with selected examples of his paintings, prints, and bronzes, this book traces the evolution of the artist's succinct and emphatically expressive style from its roots in the European tradition exemplified by Rembrandt, Rubens, and Fragonard to its modern manifestations in the works of Degas, Cezanne, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Beckmann. In the course of his long and productive career Daumier returned again and again to favorite themes, often after considerable lapses of time. Thus the works here are grouped by their subject matter into six sections: studies of individual figures and faces; narrative scenes inspired by history or literature; views of contemporary urban and domestic life; dramatic portrayals of lawyers in court; depictions of street performers; and episodes in the wanderings of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.

Stefan George in der deutschsprachigen Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts
Stefan George polarisierte die Zeitgenossen und Nachgeborenen. Die zu Lebzeiten einsetzenden und bis in die Gegenwart fortdauernden Reaktionen reichen von kultischer Verehrung über stilistische Nachahmung bis hin zu polemischer Ablehnung. Die enorme poetische Wirkung, die von George auf die deutsche Literatur des ‚langen‘ 20. Jahrhunderts ausging, wird hier erstmals systematisch erschlossen, analysiert und epochenspezifisch differenziert. Das Analysekorpus besteht vor allem aus lyrischen Wirkungszeugnissen: Es umfasst Dichtergedichte, Hommagen wie Schmähungen, Nachahmungen wie Gegenentwürfe, Parodien, Persiflagen oder fiktive Dialoge. Vergleichend hinzugezogen werden überdies poetologische, epische und dramatische Texte sowie Karikaturen, die auf die Autorpersona referieren. Intertextuelle Interpretationen profilieren die von George beeinflussten Rezeptionsmilieus sowie seine umstrittene und sich wandelnde ideologische Bewertung, die bis heute die produktive Auseinandersetzung bestimmt.
