Spa Culture and Literature in England, 1500-1800
This edited collection aims at highlighting the various uses of water in sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth-century England, while exploring the tensions between those who praised the curative virtues of waters and those who rejected them for their supposedly harmful effects. Divided into three balanced sections, the collection includes contributions from renowned specialists of early modern culture and literature as well as rising young scholars as it seeks to establish a dialogue between different methodologies, and explain why the spa-related issues examined still resonate in today’s society.

Theater im Krieg – Friedenstheater?
Der Krieg und die Frauen – eine explosive Mischung, die europäische Theaterautorinnen in ihren Stücken über die Jugoslawienkriege (1991–1999) herstellen. Sie entwerfen Frauenfiguren, die im Krieg mit starkem Schweigen opponieren oder sich Handlungsfreiheiten erkämpfen und aus den Situationen sexualisierter Gewalt befreien. Lee Teodora Gušić untersucht dramatische Texte von Sarah Kane, Biljana Srbljanović, Milena Marković, Ivana Sajko und Simona Semenič, die hauptsächlich zur Zeit der Jugoslawienkriege entstanden sind und weit in die Nachkriegszeit hineinwirken. Im Zentrum stehen die Darstellungen von Gewalt im Kriegskontext, das Auflehnen dagegen, das Scheitern und die Möglichkeiten für einen Neubeginn. Auf diese Weise arbeitet Gušić die vielschichtigen Deutungsebenen und Wirkungen der Dramen heraus, die auch das Potenzial für Inszenierungen aufzeigen.

Murky waters
Murky waters challenges the refined image of spa towns in eighteenth-century Britain by unveiling darker and more ambivalent contemporary representations. It reasserts the centrality of health in British spas by looking at disease, the representation of treatment and the social networks of care woven into spa towns. The book explores the great variety of medical and literary discourses on the numerous British spas in the long eighteenth century and offers a rare look at spas beyond Bath. Following the thread of 'murkiness', it explores the underwater culture of spas, from the gender fluidity of users to the local and national political dimensions, as well as the financial risks taken by gamblers and investors. It thus brings a fresh look at mineral waters and a pinch of salt to health-related discourses.

Dancing Queen
Under glittering lights in the Louvre palace, the French court ballets danced by Queen Marie de M?dicis prior to Henri IV's assassination in 1610 attracted thousands of spectators ranging from pickpockets to ambassadors from across Europe. Drawing on newly discovered primary sources as well as theories and methodologies derived from literary studies, political history, musicology, dance studies, and women's and gender studies, Dancing Queen traces how Marie's ballets authorized her incipient political authority through innovative verbal and visual imagery, avant-garde musical developments, and ceremonial arrangements of objects and bodies in space. Making use of women's "semi-official" statu...
