In a never-before World War II setting, this page-turner blurs the line between sworn enemies, lays bare the courage of cowards, and delivers hope from the depth of hypocrisy.
Pause
PAUSE is a compilation of images by photographer and writer Paul Fleming from around his home island of Tasmania, Australia. Each image has inspired a 'moment' of prose, written by Paul, that evokes a feeling, mood or emotion, taking the reader deeper into the beautiful imagery. The foreword has been contributed by Bob Brown.
Restaging the Past
Restaging the Past is the first edited collection devoted to the study of historical pageants in Britain, ranging from their Edwardian origins to the present day. Across Britain in the twentieth century, people succumbed to ‘pageant fever’. Thousands dressed up in historical costumes and performed scenes from the history of the places where they lived, and hundreds of thousands more watched them. These pageants were one of the most significant aspects of popular engagement with the past between the 1900s and the 1970s: they took place in large cities, small towns and tiny villages, and engaged a whole range of different organised groups, including Women’s Institutes, political parties,...

Exemplarity and Mediocrity
Following Hegel's analysis of art's increasing difficulty to both engage and extricate itself from prosaic reality, Paul Fleming investigates the strategies employed by German literature from 1750 to 1850 for increasingly attuning itself to quotidian life—common heroes, everyday life, non-extraordinary events—while also avoiding all notions of mediocrity. He focuses on three sites of this tension: the average audience (Lessing), the average artist (Goethe and Schiller), and the everyday, or average life (Grillparzer and Stifter). The book's title, Exemplarity and Mediocrity, describes both a disjunctive and a conjunctive relation. Read disjunctively, modern art must display the "exemplary originality" (Kant) that only genius can provide and is thus fundamentally opposed to mediocrity as that which does not stand out or lacks distinctiveness; in the conjunctive sense, modern art turns to non-exceptional life in order to transform it—without forsaking its commonness—thereby producing exemplary forms of mediocrity that both represent the non-exceptional and, insofar as they stand outside the group they represent, are something other than mediocre.
Der Dichter Paul Fleming
Martin Luther hat zwar in den Jahren nach 1522 die Bibel ins Deutsche übersetzt. Doch an den Fürstenhöfen sprach man weiterhin Französisch, und die Kunst und die Wissenschaft bedienten sich weiterhin der lateinischen Sprache. Paul Fleming (1609 bis 1640) war einer der ersten, welche ihre Gedichte in deutscher Sprache verfassten und damit der deutschen Sprache zum Durchbruch verhalfen. Erst danach verfassten Komponisten wie Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750) oder Dichter wie Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 – 1832) ihre Werke in deutscher Sprache.
The German Poetry of Paul Fleming
An examination of the German (i.e. non-Latin) poems, and, to a lesser extent, the life, of the esteemed 17th-century poet (1609-1640), drawing particular attention to poems and genres in his oeuvre that have received unduly little notice. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
