Early Christ Groups and Greco-Roman Associations
Over the past two and a half decades there has been an increasing interest in how the data from the associations--known primarily from inscriptions and papyri--can help scholars better understand the development of Christ groups in the first and second centuries. Richard Ascough's work has been at the forefront of promoting the associations and applying insights from inscriptions and papyri to understanding early Christian texts. This book collects together his most important contributions to the scholarly trajectory as it developed over a two-decade period. A fresh introduction orients the sixteen previously published articles and essays, which are arranged into three sections; the first dealing with associations as a model for Christ groups, the second focused on how associations and Christ groups interacted over recruitment, and the third on two key elements of group life: meals and memorializing the dead.
Historicism, Psychoanalysis, and Early Modern Culture
First published in 2000. Did people in early modern Europe have a concept of an inner self? Carla Mazzio and Douglas Trevor have brought together an outstanding group of literary, cultural, and history scholars to answer this intriguing question. Through a synthesis of historicism and psychoanalytic criticism, the contributors explore the complicated, nuanced, and often surprising union of history and subjectivity in Europe centuries before psychoanalytic theory. Addressing such topics as "fetishes and Renaissances," "the cartographic unconscious," and "the topographic imaginary," these essays move beyond the strict boundaries of historicism and psychoanalysis to carve out new histories of interiority in early modern Europe.
Ophelia Omarmd
Ophelia Omarmd bevat meer dan dertig verhalen van een van Nederlands meest veelzijdige fantastische schrijvers: In Nederland bekroonde verhalen als "De Koperen Oase" komen samen met in de Verenigde Staten gepubliceerde verhalen die voor het eerst in het Nederlands verschijnen. Ophelia Omarmd neemt je mee naar een Lissabon dat nooit bestond, waar de gekke architect Cornet galerijen en paleizen in onmogelijk vloeiende vormen bouwde, maar evengoed naar het roestbruine zand van de duinen boven de gouden daken van de woestijnstad Karakum. Luister naar de grafzang van Meester Prikkebeen tijdens zijn jacht naar oude knokenschaduwen, maar kijk vooral niet naar de schaduwen in het door waanzin geteisterde stadje Amlwch. "Een schrijver die de essentie van drie eeuwen speculatieve fictie in de Engelse taal heeft begrepen." - Scathe meic Beorh
Uitzicht op Diluvipolis
De stad Heilavn is een toekomstige stad gebouwd op de bodem van de drooggevallen Noordzee in een tijd dat de ijskappen weer gegroeid zijn. Een mengelmoes van Europese en Scandinavische invloeden maken Heilavn een rijke stad, maar zoals elke stad heeft ook Heilavn haar duistere kanten, zoals de wetteloze benedenstad en de misschien nog wel wettelozere bovenstad. Ramon Vendiaz is een gewetenloze opportunist die geen enkel middel uit de weg gaat om zichzelf te verrijken. Door niets en niemand laat hij zich daarbij tegenhouden en zijn positie als intermediair tussen boven- en benedenstad is lucratief. Wanneer in de bovenstad een nieuwe macht opstaat die zijn positie bedreigt, zoekt Ramon Vendiaz mogelijkheden om daar zelf beter van te worden.
Queering the Middle Ages
The essays in this volume present new work that, in one way or another, "queers" stabilized conceptions of the Middle Ages, allowing us to see the period and its systems of sexuality in radically different, off-center, and revealing ways. While not denying the force of gender and sexual norms, the authors consider how historical work has written out or over what might have been non-normative in medieval sex and culture, and they work to restore a sense of such instabilities. At the same time, they ask how this pursuit might allow us not only to re-envision medieval studies but also to rethink how we study culture from our current set of vantage points within postmodernity. The authors focus ...

Get Well Soon
In the spring of 2020, Jamie Sharpe was in New Brunswick, purportedly studying the famed Magnetic Hill outside Moncton. A dog-walker discovered Sharpe in a ditch, disrobed except for his backpack containing a manuscript … With his fifth collection, Get Well Soon, Sharpe reaffirms “he is utter master of his language. Whether [Sharpe’s] poems are the result of long lucubration or the inspiration of the moment, they bear no mark of effort, and it is not without admiration, nor even without astonishment, that one is carried along — by the noble, unswerving amble of those gorgeous stanzas, proud white hackneys harnessed in gold — into the glory of the evenings. Rich and subtle, [Jamie Sharpe]’s poetry is never merely lyrical; it always encloses an idea within the garland of its metaphors, and however vague or general that idea may be, it serves to strengthen the necklace; the pearls are secured by a thread that, though sometimes invisible, is ever sure.”
