‘What shall I do for the land that bred me?’
Authors: White Norman 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Tomorrow morning’, Hopkins wrote on 17 February 1887, ‘I shall have lbeen three years in Ireland, three hard wearying wasting wasted years.’ At Stonyhurst he started checking the passing of time with marked anniversaries, and in Dublin he was more conscious than ever of existing at a particular moment, with more years behind than ahead. In August he wrote to Bridges: ‘ “Getting old”-you should never say it. But I was forty three on the 28th of last month and already half a week has gone.’ He had developed a self-consciousness about his appearance. Bridges’s friend Wooldridge had undertaken to paint a portrait of him in oils, using as a guide the photograph taken in I 879 in the Oxford studios of Coles and Foreshaw; when Hopkins visited Bridges it would be finished from life.
Media: Image and Word
Authors: Gray Douglas 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We turn from the mental ‘furniture’ of readers, hearers, and writers, and from the mentalités which condition them—and which they themselves may change or adapt—to the more immediate and practical context of book production. In medieval illustrations we find images of scribes writing, later of printers at work in their shop, of audiences listening, and of authors or translators presenting their book to a patron. The production of books is a vast and fascinating area of study: ‘texts, their distinct versions, their different physical modes, and their comprehension in social contexts—in a word the sociology of texts’.
Later Prose Romance: Caxton to Berners
Authors: Gray Douglas 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Caxton, Malory’s editor, was himself a prolific producer of prose romances. Later in 1485, the year of his Morte Darthur, he produced two: Charles the Grete and Paris and Vienne. He had already published a number—the Recuyell of the Hystoryes of Troye (?1473–4, while he was still in Bruges), Th’istories of Jason (1477), Godefroy of Boloyne (or The Siege and Conqueste of Jerusalem) in 1481—and produced others later—The Four Sons of Aymon and Blanchardin and Eglantyne in 1489, and the Eneydos (1490). All were translated from French, and represent a number of popular types––stories of antiquity, of the crusades, and of romantic love. The bulk is impressive, but, by and large, the quality is not.
Romances and Tales
Authors: Gray Douglas 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
If fifteenth-century lyrics have in the past often been underestimated, the verse romances of the period have often been simply ignored. This is partly due to the conviction that the fifteenth century is an age of decadence in general, and partly to a view that they were about to disappear with the advent of romance in prose. But this is very misleading. Romances in verse were not instantly or totally destroyed by the new fashion; nor do they in general have an ‘air of obsolescence’. The picture in fact seems more complicated and much more interesting. We can see some evidence of continuity as well as some evidence suggesting attempts to accommodate new modes of thought, new social groupings, new demands from an increasingly important audience of readers.
Verse: Wintoun, Hary, The Kingis Quair, The Quare of Jelusy, The Buke of the Howlat
Authors: Gray Douglas 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The poetry is the glory of the period. In spite of all the losses, what has survived is of remarkable quality, and of a remarkable variety, with the work of the famous ‘makars’ as its high point. It was a distinct and a distinctive tradition, often a self-conscious one. Dunbar, Douglas, and Lindsay praise their Scottish predecessors and contemporaries (or many of them) as well as Chaucer. When it was rediscovered by later Scottish poets and antiquarians like Allan Ramsay or Pinkerton this distinctiveness was noted (and sometimes exaggerated).
Shakespearean Negotiations
Authors: Greenblatt Stephen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Stephen Greenblatt has been at the centre of a major shift in literary interpretation towards a critical method that places cultural creation in history. In this book - a sustained and powerful exemplification of this innovative method - he asks how collective beliefs and experiences are shaped, moved from one medium to another, concentrated in manageable form, and offered to the public on the stage. As well as giving us a new way of understanding Shakespeare's achievement, the book is an original analysis of a cultural process. Shakespearean Negotiations provides significant insights into Henry IV and Henry V, Twelfth Night, King Lear, and The Tempest; it also includes fascinating analyses of such aspects of early modern culture as exorcism, cross-dressing, colonial propaganda, and martial law codes. It is, as well, a masterly example of a new critical method by its leading practitioner.

Authors: Bennett J A W 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The magisterial Oxford History of English Literature is here reissued in its entirety, so that readers can collect any volumes that they missed on first publication, and new purchasers can obtain all thirteen published volumes at once. For the purposes of the reissue certain of the volumes have been retitled and the series has been renumbered; all volumes appear in handsome matching jackets. Of the two outstanding volumes, The Victorian Novel will be available in , (see P. 00), and The English Drama 1588-1642 will follow. Reviews of the volumes on their first publication spoke of `traditional literary scholarship at its best' and `essential basic reading for anyone who is interested in the subject'. The series - individual volumes of which can be purchased separately - should appeal to general readers and students alike.
The West Coast In The Second And First Centuries
Authors: McNicoll A W , Milner N P 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this chapter walls of three west coast sites, Teos, Ceramus, and Miletus, are examined briefly. The fortifications cover roughly the same period as those of the south coast discussed in the previous chapter. Teos ‘ fortifications are dated by inscriptions to the late third or early second century. Ceramic evidence dates Miletus ‘ south wall to the early first century. The fortifications of Ceramus are undated. These three cities ‘ defences show tactical and strategic characteristics similar to their south coast contemporaries. They also show some marked differences.
Technical Discussion
Authors: Winter Nancy A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Considerable technical skill is apparent in the manufacture of even the earliest Greek roof tiles, but improvements continue to be made throughout the Archaic period. The introduction of the concept of mass-production through the use of moulds, thought to have come to Greece with figurines from the Near East around 700 BC, may have suggested the method of production for roof tiles, although no such roof tiles exist in the Near East as models.’ From the beginning, the shape of the tiles takes advantage of the strength of the clay; in addition, the need for a tempering agent was known, to aid in even drying of the clay before firing and to reduce shrinkage during the drying process. The apparent sophistication of the design of the earliest known Greek tiles, with an elaborate network of flanges and notches for interlocking, has suggested to some that we do not yet possess the earliest examples in the series. Yet the Protocorinthian tiles which stand at the head of the known series show a complexity that belies their primitive nature. With sophistication comes refinement and simplification of design.
Introduction
Authors: Plantzos Dimitris 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Among those objects of ancient art which have reached us through the lapse of ages, engraved stones may be considered among the number of the most elegant and refined by their forms, their lustre, and their use, the most precious from their material and their workmanship, the most sought for from the facility with which they can be mixed with other ornaments, and set in connection with the most precious jewels. The luxury of the ancients led them to adopt a style of workmanship which was agreeable to the most exquisite taste, whether it adorned diadems, collars, bracelets, earrings, waistbands, portions of dress, shoes, or even valuable pieces of furniture, or whether, set in a ring, it served both as a finger ring and a signet.
Royal Portraits
Authors: Plantzos Dimitris 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Portraiture was in essence a Hellenistic invention. Royal portraiture in particular was conceived and developed in such a way as to comply with the ruler’s need to publicize his image to his subjects. Royal portraits of the Hellenistic period display a blend of both realistic and idealistic treatment of physical likeness, being images that project the ruler’s qualities in a heroic if not divine attitude. Thus the portrait of a king in the Hellenistic period was meant to make his subjects familiar with his likeness, but at the same time to underline their difference in status, as well as to proclaim the king’s authority to rule.
The Date Of Sālim’s Epistle
Authors: Crone Patricia , Zimmermann Fritz 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We are now in a position to tackle the question of when, and indeed where, the epistle was written. Since the Khārijite and the Murji’ite parts are based on different sources,1 possibly of different dates, it seems best to start by treating them separately. Most of the chronological clues are to be found in the Khārijite parts, where many of them were first picked out by Cook. They may be presented as follows.
Heimat A German Dream
Authors: Boa Elizabeth , Palfreyman Rachel 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The discourse of Heimat, meaning homeland or roots, has been a medium of debate on German identity between region and nation for at least a century. Four phases parallel Germany's discontinuous history: Heimat literature as a response to modernization and to regional tensions before the First World War; the inter-war period when Heimat divided into racist ideology, left-wing opposition, and inner resistance to the Third Reich; a post-war dialectic between escapist 1950s Heimat films and right-wing claims to the lost lands in the East to which anti-Heimat theatre and films in the 1960s and 1970s were a response, with the urban Heimat in GDR films adding a socialist twist; regionalism and green politics in the 1980s and German identity beyond Cold War divisions. A key point of reference in current debates on German history, Heimat looks likely to continue in postmodern and multicultural mode.
A Land Fit for Heroes? Ernst Wiechert’s Das einfache Leben and Marieluise Flie er’s Pioniere in lngo/stadt
Authors: Boa Elizabeth , Palfreyman Rachel 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The First World War marked a huge watershed, both material and mental, as the great adventure, on which so many had euphorically embarked, turned into an orgy of senseless violence. Hopes nurtured by the more romantic enthusiasts that the cleansing flames of war would sweep aside the base materialism of a decadent modern age were dashed as trench warfare turned out to bea peculiarly modern affair of incompetent bureaucracy presiding over organized mass slaughter. In the German case, around two million men died in the war. A further eleven million who served in the armed forces survived, many of them, however, wounded or permanently maimed. Yet at the end of the war in the winter of 1918/19, the vast edifice of the German military forces unravelled with astonishing speed as over six million soldiers demobilized themselves and returned home within a period of some four months. But the very speed with which the army disintegrated left a vacuum. Faced with a collapse of discipline as the navy mutinied and the regular army melted away, the government turned to the Freikorps, paramilitary groups of right-wing mercenaries, for help in putting down revolutionary uprisings in Berlin and Munich in 1919, an action with fatal long-term effects in cementing the enmity between the social democrats and the communists and so setting the seeds for the later failure to form a united front against the National Socialists. The train of violence can seem in retrospect to have a fatal inevitability. As well as brutally putting down their fellow Germans, the Freikorps were used against Polish irregulars in the troubles accompanying the implementation of the Treaty of Versailles which provided for border changes and the loss of one seventh of former German territory with 6.5 million inhabitants, around half of whom were German-speakingand of whom some 700,000 came to Germany as refugees.
Spyscreen
Authors: Miller Toby 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Spy screen is a genre study of English-language spy fiction film and television between the 1930s and 1960s. Taking as his focus many well-known films and television series, Toby Miller uses a wide range of critical approaches - from textual interpretation, audience studies, and cultural history, through auteurism, imperial history, class, and governmentality, to genre, cultural imperialism, and gender. Beginning with an overview of the social and political background to the history, production, and analysis of spy fiction, topics discussed include the first canonical espionage movie, The 39 Steps, key film noir texts such as Gilda and The Third Man, the figure of popular spies, including James Bond, and the importance of women to the genre. The result is not just an insightful new study of key texts in this popular genre; it is an important intervention in the methodology and practice of Screen Studies.
Primo Levi’s Ordinary Virtues
Authors: Gordon Robert S C 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Primo Levi was perhaps the most humane and eloquent writer of testimony to emerge from the Nazi Holocaust. But he also went beyond testimony in his work, tackling many of the founding ethical questions of what it is to be human, 'how to live'. Whether in accounts of the concentration camps, essays, science-fiction, autobiography, poetry, or fiction, he always approached his writing with a questioning, ethically open and alert eye. This book explores the extraordinary depth of Levi the ethical writer across his entire oeuvre for the first time, by way of thirteen so-called 'ordinary virtues', that is the ways and means Levi forges for practically and compassionately engaging with the world. It draws on a wide range of recent thinking about Holocaust literature and the general relationship between literature and ethics. From the book a new understanding of Levi's importance as both witness and writer emerges, enhancing his status as one of the key literary figures of the twentieth century.
Play
Authors: Gordon Robert S C 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In Chapter 6, a swathe of Levi’s ethics was described, in the Pavesian vocabulary he was fond of, as an ‘ethics of maturity’. Practical intelligence and the acknowledgement of its limits, openness and responsiveness to others, knowledge about the world, and other virtues were all characterized as both cause and symptom of growth into a sort of moral maturity. But as was also suggested there, prior to this maturity, and in many ways a prerequisite of it, was a certain child-like sense of unguided discovery and accident, best summed up in the phrase ‘la liberti di sbagliare’ (‘the freedom to make mistakes’), used to capture the much-missed youthful excitement of Levi and Sandro’s rash mountain-climbing expeditions ‘to taste bear’s meat’.
Soundings in French Caribbean Writing Since 1950
Authors: Gallagher Mary 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Over the second half of the twentieth century, a substantial flow of writing emerged from the French-held Caribbean. Much of this work is both theoretically knowing and poetically potent and has attracted international attention to the literary resonances of the uniquely complex geo-historical situation of the Caribbean, and indeed of the Americas in general. Much of its passion, pertinence, and appeal inheres in its approach to time and to space, an approach still reverberating with the shock of displacement and its various after-tremors: an exploded sense of diversity; radical relativization; the profound expropriations of enslavement; colonial erosion. Through readings of high-profile as well as lesser known writing, this book tracks some of the more striking tensions and tropisms at work in the French Caribbean imagination of space and time and their intersection. It studies generic interplay, textual palimpseste, narrative structure, and other dynamics of writing that realize and manipulate the intersections of time and space, history and memory, writing and rewriting, voice and text, referential space and (inter)textual space, as well as cultural theory and literary practice, identity and difference, place and displacement. In this way, it probes both the strains and the stresses, and also the insights and gravitations that make for the particular 'French Caribbean' timbre of this volume of writing. This specific vibration, while illuminating Caribbean, New World, and post-colonial thinking in general, also encourages wider reflection on global resonances of displacement and dislocation and on more general issues such as the role of writing, and of narrative in particular, in the confrontation of absence and presence, loss and desire, distance and diversity. This book locates the problematic of time/space in relation to historiographical, geo-cultural, and phenomenological thinking and it also takes account of the detonation of critical interest in what is broadly termed post-colonial writing. Its fundamental concern, however, is to show how a particular corpus of writing has, in the space of half a century, and from a bracing position of hyper-relationality, responded imaginatively and poetically to the challenge of envisioning place, and of relating space to time.
The Voice
Authors: Frith Simon 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Look at a song’s lyrics on the page: whose “voice” is there? Who’s talking? The answer seems to start with the pronouns, the “shifters,” not just the “I,” the apparent speaker, but the “you” and “we” and “she” which reveal various things about the speaker. Even without an explicit “I,” that is, we have an implicit one, someone who’s doing the addressing: “yot’ve got a lot of nerve, to say that you’re my friend.” The “voice” in the printed lyrics is thus articulated by the text itself, by a process that is both self-expressive and self-revealing, both declared openly and implied by the narrative.
Genre, Gesture, and Meaning in Mozart’s ‘Prague’ Symphony
Authors: Sisman Elaine R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
During his glory years in Vienna in the 1780s, Mozart wrote extraordinarily few symphonies. Whether he took symphonies less seriously as a genre than piano concertos—a conclusion difficult to sustain in light of the works themselves—or simply preferred to spend the time on operas or on the featured-soloist genres fervently applauded by the Viennese, he programmed his older works and works by other composers on many of his concerts.
Monteverdi
Authors: Arnold Denis 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Celebrated during his lifetime, Monteverdi disappeared from the repertory for centuries until interest in him gradually revived over the last hundred years. Denis Arnold's contribution to this revival was considerable. Here he pays tribute to Monteverdi's genius and such enduring achievements as the Vespers, other choral compositions, the operas, and the sacred and secular songs. In relating Monteverdi to the musical activity of his time, and in examining his years at the Court of Mantua and in Venice, Denis Arnold reveals a fascinating musician whose works epitomize in many varied ways the musical and cultural issues of his age. The text and appendices of this edition were revised by Tim Carter, who added a new chapter taking account of recent scholarship.

Wales (Giraldus Cambrensis, 1146–1223), whose writings became the most frequently quoted authority for the indigenous musicianship of the Welsh, and the great hymn writer William Williams of Pantycelyn (1717–91). The presentation was made possible by ‘contributions from each of the thirteen counties of Wales, and the subscription list included not only handsome donations from the richer members of the community, but the three-penny pieces of the working men and working women of the Principality.’
Ambivalent Friendships: Music-Lovers, Amateurs, and Professional Musicians in the Late Nineteenth Century
Authors: Gillett Paula 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The professional music world of the late Victorian era Was supported by an intense and complex matrix of activities in which amateur musicians played a central and well-recognized role. Amateurs—conventionally defined as those who pursue music-making for intrinsic gratification rather than as a primary source of income, but on closer examination a group whose precise constitution is far more elusive—purchased instruments and sheet music in unprecedented quantities, performed in a variety of private and public settings, engaged music teachers (mostly) for their daughters, and attended concerts.
Re-Establishing Contacts: prose rhymes in A la Recherche du temps perdu
Authors: Piette Adam 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Memory is a ventriloquist here, throwing the voices of past selves into present tense speech. This personified faculty, memory become dramatic voice within the mouth, haunts the texts of Mallarmé, Proust, Joyce, and Beckett. With Proust, voluntary and involuntary memory, though made triumphantly distinct in ‘Le Temps retrouvé’, often subtly inter-mingle in the ordinary courses of the human voice. I will show how Proust demonstrates this intermingling by use of a technique of key-word emphasis that mimes memory’s ventriloquist interjections. The prose rhymes are marks of a past anxiety involuntarily altering the voice as it attempts to speak of ‘other matters’.
A Deviant Narrative: John Banville’s Book of Evidence
Authors: Worthington Kim L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
If texts (and selves understood as texts) are to remain readable, and, for that matter, if their novelty, deviation, or revolutionary intentions are to be understood and function as significant, potentially revisionary acts, they must conform to certain intersubjective requirements of referentiality and expectation which make possible the communication of their meaning and the value of their challenging intentions. To make the radical assertion that, in order to evade appropriation, one must wholly abandon oneself or one’s text to the exile of what I have called excommunication is clearly untenable. As Jacques Derrida writes (in one of his softline statements) in Of Grammatology, rebellious acts or narratives cannot’destroy structures from the outside. They are not possible and effective, nor can they take accurate aim except by inhabiting those structures.’1 Yet the freedom promoted by some contemporary theorists (often citing Derrida’s more hardline pronouncements) rests on precisely this fallacious fiction of heroic exile or self-erasure.
