Remembered Reading

Memory, Comics and Post-War Constructions of British Girlhood

Mel Gibson

A reader’s history exploring the forgotten genre of girls’ comics Girls’ comics were a major genre from the 1950s onwards in Britain. The most popular titles sold between 800,000 and a million copies a week. However, this genre was slowly replaced by magazines which now dominate publishing for girls. Remembered Reading is a readers’ history which explores the genre, and memories of those comics, looking at how and why this rich history has been forgotten. The research is based around both analysis of what the titles contained and interviews with women about their childhood comic reading. In addition, it also looks at the other comic books that British girls engaged with, including humour comics and superhero titles. In doing so it looks at intersections of class, girlhood, and genre, and puts comic reading into historical, cultural, and educational context.

Joannes Burmeister

Aulularia and Other Inversions of Plautus

Edited, translated, and introduced by Michael Fontaine

First critical edition of Burmeister’s the newly discovered Aulularia Joannes Burmeister of Lüneburg (1576–1638) was among the greatest NeoLatin poets of the German Baroque. His masterpieces, now mostly lost, are Christian ‘inversions’ of the classical Roman comedies of Plautus. With only minimal changes in language and none in meter, each transforms Plautus’ pagan plays into comedies based on biblical themes. Fascinating in their own right, they also bring back to attention forgotten genres of Renaissance literature. This volume offers the first critical edition of the newly discovered Aulularia (1629), which exists in a sole copy, and the fragments of Mater-Virgo (1621), which adapts Plautus’ Amphitryo to show the Nativity of Jesus. The introduction offers reconstructions of Susanna (based on Casina) and Asinaria (1625), his two lost or unpublished inversions of Plautus. Fontaine also provides the only biography of Burmeister based on archival sources, along with discussions of his inimitable Latinity and the perilous context of war and witch burning in which Burmeister wrote. Burmeister’s inversions bear witness to the special talent of his age for the creative reworking of classical literature, such as Monteverdi’s Poppea or Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, as well as to his tumultuous times, with his views on military abuses in the Thirty Years War prefiguring those of Grimmelshausen’s Simplicius Simplicissimus.

Jean van Havre

La citadelle de la vertu ou La véritable tranquillité de l’âme Arx virtutis sive De vera animi tranquillitate (1627)

Introduction, traduction et notes de Stéphane Mercier

La correspondance de Guillaume Budé et Juan Luis Vives

Introduction, édition critique et annotations par Gilbert Tournoy. Avant-propos et traduction française par Monique Mund-Dopchie

Les satires morales de van Havre introduites et traduites pour la première fois Après une longue carrière dans la magistrature gantoise sous le règne des Archiducs, Jean van Havre (1551–1625) apporta sa contribution au domaine des belles-lettres avec une triple satire latine érudite, volontiers moralisatrice, dans laquelle il stigmatisait le vice pour conduire plus sûrement à la ‘Citadelle de la vertu’.

The moral satires of van Havre introduced and translated for the first time After a long career in the Ghent administration under the reign of the Archdukes, Jean van Havre (1551–1625) made his contribution to the field of literature with a triple satire in which he stigmatized vices and eulogized the virtues leading to ‘la citadelle de la vertu’.

Humanistica Lovaniensia 37 Témoignage sur la vie des grands humanistes Le présent recueil entend apporter une nouvelle contribution à la connaissance des écrits des grands humanistes du 15ème au 16ème siècle. Le volume consacré à l’échange de lettres entre Budé et Vives ne comporte que dix lettres au total. Malgré leur petit nombre, ces lettres apportent indéniablement, à l’instar des lettres publiées précédemment, un témoignage intéressant sur la vie intellectuelle et sur la vie tout court d’humanistes.

Testimony to the life of great humanists This book aims to make a new contribution to the knowledge on writings of the great humanists of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The volume on the exchange of letters between Budé and Vives has only ten letters. Despite the small number, these letters undeniably bring an interesting testimony to the intellectual life and life itself of the humanists.
