Bosphorus
What is the truth? Does the truth lie with one faith over another, in the drawing of boundaries and sticking to sides? Or could the truth lie at the middle line where all sides cross, melt and bleed into each other? Bosphorus suggests an answer to the seemingly irresolvable conflicts we face in our dizzyingly fast-pace contemporary global environment through the intimate lives of each of its characters and an ongoing dialectical situation.In Bosphorus, this vital river in Istanbul, Turkey serves as a metaphor that flows between two divided worlds- the East and the West, Asia and Europe- symbolizing a world split in culture, worldview, religion, lifestyle and identity. Between and beyond all ...

When the Bad Bleeds
Mantic elements are manifold in the English drama of the Renaissance period: they are supernatural manifestations and have a prophetic, future-determining function within the dramatic plot, which can be difficult to discern. Addressing contemporaries of Shakespeare, this study interprets a representative number of revenge tragedies, among them The Spanish Tragedy, The White Devil, and The Revenger's Tragedy, to draw general conclusions about the use of mantic elements in this genre. The analysis of the cultural context and the functionalisation of mantic elements in revenge tragedy of the Elizabethan, Jacobean, and Caroline era show their essential function in the construction of the plot. Mantic elements create and stimulate audience expectations. They are not only rhetoric decorum, but structural elements, and convey knowledge about the genre, the fate of which is determined by retaliation. An interpretation of revenge tragedy is only possible if mantic providentialism is taken into account.

This book is a forerunner in queenship and re-invents the reputations of the women and some of the men. The contributors answers questions about the nature of queenship, reputation of queens, and gender roles in the medieval and early modern west. The essays question the viability of propaganda, gossip, and rumor that still characterizes some queens in modern histories. The wide geographic range covered by the contributors moves queenship studies beyond France and England to understudied places such as Sw...
