This comprehensive edited volume brings to life a diverse collection of inspiring figures through memoirs, biographical essays, and interviews. Covering many different nationalities and academic disciplines—including literature, philology, history, archaeology, art history, theology or religious studies, and philosophy—each essay delves into one woman’s life, intellectual contributions, and efforts to succeed in a male-dominated field. Together, these extraordinary personal histories constitute a new standard reference that speaks to a growing interest in women’s roles in the development of scholarship and the academy. The collection begins in the eighteenth century with Elizabeth Elstob and continues to the present, and includes—among more than seventy profiles—such important figures as Anna Jameson, Lina Eckenstein, Georgiana Goddard King, Eileen Power, Dorothy L. Sayers, Dorothy Whitelock, Susan Mosher Stuard, Marcia Colish, and Caroline Walker Bynum, among others.

Download or read book Coriolanus written by David George and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2004, David George's majestic compendium of criticism relating to Shakespeare's Coriolanus was recognised as a major contribution to teaching and scholarship on the play. This new edition has been updated with a new supplementary introduction by the author tracing criticism on the play since that first publication, including materialist, psychoanalytic and feminist readings, as well as further readings of the play's politics. As with all titles in the series, this edition increases our knowledge of how Shakespeare's plays were received and understood by critics, editors and general readers. The volume offers, in separate sections, both critical opinions about the play across the centuries and an evaluation of their positions within and their impact on the reception of the play. The chronological arrangement of the text-excerpts engages the readers in a direct and unbiased dialogue, whereas the substantial introduction offers a critical evaluation from a current stance, including modern theories and methods. Thus the volume makes a major contribution to our understanding of the play and of the traditions of Shakespearean criticism surrounding it as they have developed from century to century.
Download or read book Thinking with Shakespeare written by William Poole (New College, Oxford) and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Shakespeares works do not embody any doctrine or set of beliefs, as his critics have long been tempted to suggest, but they do stage encounters with certain kinds of thinking ethical, political, epistemological, even metaphysical that still concern us nowadays. They can be shown to draw on ancient philosophies Platonism, Stoicism, Scepticism either directly or through medieval and continental Renaissance thought. Or their scenarios can be likened to those of other kinds of intellectual argument, such as legal or theological discourse. The essays collected in this volume demonstrate the value of thinking with Shakespeare, either as embodied in Shakespeares own creative programme or in our use of philosophical paradigms as an approach to his works. The contributors are Colin Burrow, Terence Cave, Gabriel Josipovoci, Charles Martindale, Stephen Medcalf, Subha Mukherji, A. D. Nuttall and N. K. Sugimura."
Download or read book Academia s Gendered Fringe written by Miriam Kauko and published by Wallstein Verlag. This book was released on 2005 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eine erhellende Studie, die Impulse der Gender Studies für die Wissenschaftsgeschichte aufzuzeigen vermag. Auch Wissenschaft hat ein Geschlecht. Die Konsequenzen dieser These untersucht der vorliegende Band am Beispiel der Kulturwissenschaften. Mit dem Zeitraum von 1890 bis 1945 konzentriert er sich auf jene Epoche, in der sich die Universitäten für die Frauen öffnen und sie zum ersten Mal regulär am System Wissenschaft partizipieren läßt. Das Verhältnis von Wissenschaft und Geschlechterdifferenz kommt dabei in seiner Vielgestaltigkeit in den Blick: Es wird einerseits auf der Ebene des wissenschaftlichen Diskurses, seiner Rhetorik und seiner Epistemologie, analysiert. Andererseits wird die Arbeit einzelner Wissenschaftlerinnen, die innerhalb oder jenseits des universitären Betriebs tätig waren (z.B. Hilma Borelius, Ricarda Huch, Vernon Lee), vorgestellt. So belegen die fünfzehn internationalen Beiträge aus ganz verschiedenen Perspektiven, welche Impulse die Gender Studies der Wissenschaftsgeschichte zu vermitteln mögen. Aus dem Inhalt: Ben Knights: Reading as a Man: Women and the Rise of English Studies in England Sylvia Mieszkowski: Vernon Lee - Gen(i)us Loci of Academic Periphery Gesa Dane: Ricarda Huchs Romantik und Der Dreißigjährige Krieg Alexandra Tischel: Die Arbeiten der Germanistin Helene Herrmann Barbara Hahn: 'Wunderbar artikulierte Herrscherin im Reich des Bewußten'.

Download or read book The Shakespearean International Yearbook written by Graham Bradshaw and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eighth volume of The Shakespearean International Yearbook presents a special section on 'European Shakespeares', proceeding from the claim that Shakespeare's literary craft was not just native English or British, but was filtered and fashioned through a Renaissance awareness that needs to be recognized as European, and that has had effects and afterlives across the Continent. Guest editors Ton Hoenselaars and Clara Calvo have constructed this section to highlight both how the spread of 'Shakespeare' throughout Europe has brought together the energies of a wide variety of European cultures across several centuries, and how the inclusion of Shakespeare in European culture has been not only a European but also a world affair. The Shakespearean International Yearbook continues to provide an annual survey of important issues and developments in contemporary Shakespeare studies. Contributors to this issue come from the US and the UK, Spain, Switzerland and South Africa, Canada, The Netherlands, India, Portugal, Greece, France, and Hungary. In addition to the section on European Shakespeares, this volume includes essays on the genre of romance, issues of character, and other topics.
Download or read book Reading Sumerian Poetry written by Jeremy A. Black and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authority on ancient Mesopotamian culture, Jeremy Black here provides an introduction to the world's oldest poetry. Sumer, in southern Iraq, was the first literate civilization, with writing dating back as far as 3100 B.C. Its extensive poetic literature was lost for nearly two millennia; rediscovery and decipherment of the ancient writings began in the nineteenth century. Black is fully aware of the difficulties of applying modern literary methods to the study of ancient literature, emphasizing theoretical problems that arise from contemporary expectations of a unitary text. Looking closely at the imagery in the Lugalbanda poems, Black perceives in them a rich and sophisticated poetic imagination and technique, which, far from being in any sense "primitive," are so complex as to resist modern literary analysis.
Download or read book Reading Sumerian Poetry written by Jeremy Black and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2000-12-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of the oldest form of poetry. Sumer, in the southern part of Iraq, created the first literary culture in history, as early as 2500BC. The account is structured around a complete English translation of the fragmentary Lugalbanda poems, narrating the adventures of the eponymous hero. The study reveals a work of a rich and sophisticated poetic imagination and technique, which, far from being in any sense 'primitive', are so complex as to resist much modern literary analysis.
