Calling on the Composer
Across Europe, more than three hundred houses and museums commemorate the composers who lived and worked in them. In Calling on the Composer, two distinguished musicologists guide the musically curious traveler or reader to these sites and provide essential information on their content and significance. Whether lakeside hut or moated castle, clock tower or cave, village school or fine town house, the physical context for musical genius and the artefacts of day-to-day existence have a powerful impact on how we perceive the figure behind the music we know and love. Julie and Stanley Sadie have journeyed to thirty-one countries to compile this unique travel companion and reference source. They offer practical information for the visitor, seasoned insights, and lively commentary. Richly illustrated and supported by thorough maps, the entries on individual composers trace their steps through the practicalities of life and reveal to us the context of creativity.
Slovene Theatre and Drama Post Independence
Slovenia gained its independence in 1991, and joined the European Union in 2004. This book, with its substantial introduction and four Slovene plays in translation, makes a unique contribution to an understanding of both the dramatic and theatrical history of this period of enormous political change in Slovenia. The Great Brilliant Waltz (1985) by Drago Jančar was written and produced when Slovenia was still part of the former Yugoslavia. This black comedy is set in the mental hospital 'Freedom Sets Free', a metaphor for the totalitarian society of the communist era. Draga Potočnjak is foremost among the few female playwrights in Slovenia. Based on real events, The Noise Animals Make is Un...
History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe
Continuing the work undertaken in Vol. 1 of the History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe, Vol. 2 considers various topographic sites--multicultural cities, border areas, cross-cultural corridors, multiethnic regions--that cut across national boundaries, rendering them permeable to the flow of hybrid cultural messages. By focusing on the literary cultures of specific geographical locations, this volume intends to put into practice a new type of comparative study. Traditional comparative literary studies establish transnational comparisons and contrasts, but thereby reconfirm, howev.

Slavs in the Middle Ages Between Idea and Reality
Presenting the history of the Slavs in the Middle Ages in a new light, this study shows how the 'Slavs' were treated as a cultural construct and as such politically instrumentalized, and describes the real structures behind the phenomenon.

The Chronicle of the Priest of Duklja is a mysterious narrative source covering the Slavic presence on the Adriatic coast and its hinterland. This study offers a new interpretation of the text, based on the recognition of the figures of model rulers.
Osebnosti slovenskega gledališča
V znanstveni monografiji so nanizani slovenski igralci in igralke ter režiserji in režiserke, ki jih povezuje prestopanje ustaljenih predstav o gledališču. Zbrane biografske študije govorijo tudi o meji med hladno zavezanostjo znanstveni obravnavi in tisto težko merljivo, težko ulovljivo in še težje opredeljivo dimenzijo nevidno bivajočega v človeških odnosih, ki v obliki tesnih ali ohlapnih socialnih mrež bistveno opredeljuje ne le vsakokratna osebna, ampak tudi družbena razmerja. S tem, ko so avtorji prispevkov ponudili svoje poglede na obravnavane osebnosti z različnih izobrazbenih, poklicnih, osebnih idr. pozicij, so močno razširili kulturnozgodovinski horizont. Harmonično razmerje med objektivnim in subjektivnim pristopom je ključ do kar najbolj prepričljivih biografskih študij. Ker so pogledi avtorjev prispevkov tudi osebni, pomenijo ne le dragocen prispevek k razumevanju gledaliških osebnostih, ampak so tudi prvovrsten vir za proučevanje mentalitet posameznih dob. Nenazadnje je treba v zvezi z biografskimi študijami omeniti še neko mejo: ideja o absolutno objektivnem pogledu na sočloveka je v svojem bistvu antihumanistična.
