BIOGRAPHY.

Through Belgian Eyes

ebook

Charlotte Brontë’s Troubled Brussels Legacy HELEN MACEWAN

“The place and the author comes together perfectly in this packed and fascinating study of Brontë’s mixed feelings about the city that formed her as a writer – and its equally ambivalent responses to her.” Claire Harman, author of Charlotte Brontë: A Life “Helen MacEwan balances Charlotte’s critique of Brussels against the impressive counterweight of her legacy: her astute social observation of Brussels in the 1840s – her placing the city at the centre of a great work of literature.” Lyndall Gordon, author of Charlotte Brontë: A Passionate Life While we may know plenty about what Charlotte Brontë made of Brussels and its people, what about the other way round? What did Brussels, and indeed Belgium as a whole, make of the shy young Englishwoman who, having been rejected by one of their countrymen, unleashed a stream of invective against their country? This is the question that long-time resident and Brontë scholar Helen MacEwan attempts to answer in this fascinating and important book … [She] skilfully decentres the Brontë myth and re-reads it, this time through Belgian eyes.

A Life in the Making: A Biographer’s Quest for a Forgotten Bloomsbury Polymath HELEN SOUTHWORTH

A “virtuoso and occasionally vertiginous exposé of the practices and processes of an archival researcher and biographer who works, in the footsteps of Woolf herself, on the lives of the obscure [...] For researchers interested in literary, artistic, musical, pacifist, and other networks of the interwar years, this 'biographer's quest' is a cornucopia [...] a richly rewarding [reading experience], full of surprises and illuminations.”

Kathryn Laing, Woolf Studies Annual 2018 Writer, musicologist, puppeteer and pacifist, British-German Jewish Allinson (1902–1945) published with the Woolfs, dueled with Ralph Vaughan Williams over the origins of folk song and was psychoanalyzed by Adrian Stephen, younger brother of Virginia. Her life of promise, tragically cut short by suicide by drowning in 1945, is an eerie echo of Virginia Woolf ’s suicide.

LITERARY CRITICISM AND POETRY.

Reading Fragments and Fragmentation in Modernist Literature

ebook

REBECCA VARLEY-WINTER

Rebecca Varley-Winter introduces fragmentation as an aspect of what Julia Kristeva and Hélène Cixous term ‘écriture féminine’, and offers new readings of the texts that Stéphane Mallarmé struggled to finish, associating his fragmentation with translation and the ‘Crise’ (Crisis) of vers libre. The author then considers the fragmentary affects of humour, ranging from Henri Bergson to Mina Loy and T. S. Eliot. Urban fragmentation is explored in Hope Mirrlees’ Paris: A Poem, John Maynard Keynes’ The Economic Consequences of the Peace, Félix Fénéon’s Nouvelles en trois lignes, Apollinaire’s Zone, and Walter Benjamin’s Arcades Project. The author ultimately weighs the claim of literary fragmentation as an ethical commitment to detail, embedded in the living body, against a view of fragments as more numbed traces or disembodied remnants.

The Expression of Things

ebook

Themes in Thomas Hardy’s Fiction and Poetry JOHN HUGHES

John Hughes explores Hardy’s claim that his art sought to ‘intensify the expression of things’ through three main sections – on music, the body, and voice. These offer intersecting and mutually informing discussions of the central drama of inexpression and expressivity in Hardy’s work, as it affects the various personae of the text, including the reader. Throughout, the book draws on themes in the work of Gilles Deleuze and Stanley Cavell to reveal how Hardy’s fiction and poetry express and represent the affective and physical conditions of mind, and their conflicts with social fictions of identity.

ebook

INTRODUCED BY JEREMY WITHERS

Written at the height of the late-19th century “bicycle craze” and rich in geographical detail of southern England, The Wheels of Chance is a captivating portrayal of two people attempting to break free of the dreary life society has carved out for them. The novel is also among Wells’s funniest works, rivaling his other comedic masterpieces such as Kipps and The History of Mr. Polly. Using a copy text of the 1925 Atlantic edition of the novel, this edition includes a full introduction providing historical context on the novel and biographical information on Wells, a further reading list, detailed notes, a map of Hoopdriver’s journey, a selection of contemporary reviews, and excerpts of letters by Wells relevant to the novel. The work has been specially prepared for student engagement and classroom use.

David Foster Wallace

ebook

Presences of the Other EDITED BY BEATRICE PIRE AND PIERRE-LOUIS PATOINE

Indeterminate and inconclusive, constructed on Derridean ‘difference’, DFW’s output testifies to the presence of a liberating symbolic Other; by resisting closure, it promotes both a fundamental reworking of the literary tradition and a compassionate vision of the human condition. Prominent scholars explore varieties of otherness in Wallace’s ‘open work’ by engaging with the dialogue his writing establishes with non-literary discourses such as cinema (French Nouvelle Vague), music (rap, in Signifying Rappers), religion (Buddhism) and philosophy (Wittgenstein). Critical approaches to the author’s protean identity, taste for masquerade and performance, and capacity for metamorphosis and transformation, foreground traces of an otherness that sets out a salutary spiritual potential for the 21st century.

Literary Universe in Three Parts Language – Fiction – Experience PETR A. BÍLEK, VLADIMÍR PAPOUŠEK AND DAVID SKALICKÝ

Sharing the structuralist proposition of texts made from words, the authors focus on the metamorphoses of the modes of representations through 20th century fiction and its critical reflections. Switching between theoretical considerations and case study interpretations, their essays challenge the notion of autonomous fictional worlds and involve the pragmatic categories of the constructed image of a writer and the aesthetic experience of a reader. The focus on representational status of literary texts combines here with another conceptual frame – the performative aspect.

Unexpected Affinities

ebook

Modern American Poetry and Symbolist Poetics LISA GOLDFARB

Lisa Goldfarb’s Unexpected Affinities is an indispensable sequel to her first book, The Figure Concealed: Wallace Stevens, Music, and Valéryan Echoes. Together they are essential reading for anyone interested in the overlooked affinities between American poetry and French symbolism, the indelible inheritance from Baudelaire, Rimbaud, and others, most fully articulated as a poetics by Valéry. Bonnie Costello, author of The Plural of Us: Poetry and Community in Auden and Others Homing in on the French poet Paul Valéry, she uncovers a denser set of rhizomic connections that our recent engagements with the canon have overlooked. We see how these poets think about ideas of poetic music, setting up subtle plays of motif, repetition, and response, as their theorizing informs the notes they strike in their poems, and vice versa. Her book enlarges and enriches our idea of poetry in the last century. Justin Quinn, author of Between Two Fires: Transnationalism and Cold War Poetry The clarity of Goldfarb’s critical prose also makes her analysis especially approachable for student and teacher alike. Avoiding hollow comparative generalisations, Goldfarb deftly sifts between lines of influence and appreciation, helping us consider in light of Symbolism and its aftermaths not only Stevens, Eliot, and Auden but their later poetic descendants in refreshing new lights.

The Butterfly Hatch

ebook

Literary Experience in the Quest for Wisdom: Uncanonically Seating H.D. RICHARD VYTNIORGU

Some of H.D.’s most oft-quoted lines have to do with the meaning and value of words; they are conditioned to hatch butterflies. Yet rather than seeking merely to understand how H.D. represented the meaning and value of words, this volume uses ‘the butterfly hatch’ as a metaphor for thinking more broadly about the capacity of literary experience to hatch transformed persons – ‘butterflies’ in quest of wisdom in university English studies.

Dislodging H.D. from her usual modernist context, this book positions her as a thinker and reads her autobiographical prose and recently published work of the 1940s for its ability to offer new insights into such pertinent and interconnected areas as literary contexts, imagination, and personal and social transformation.

The Song of BEOWULF

ebook

A New Transcreation J. D. WINTER

In the knock and flow of the lines, too, one can sense the poetry of a sea-faring nation. The nation is not England or Sweden or Denmark. It is an intermingled part of Northern Europe using the West Saxon dialect of the language in England to convey a mix of Scandinavian history and Teutonic legend. In this evocative transcreation the reader may come, no doubt as did the early listeners, to a simple truth behind the medley of international borders: the inevitable journey of the universal human.

‘Hide Fox, and All After’

ebook

What is Concealed in Shakespeare’s Hamlet?

J. D. WINTER

Is there anything more to say on Hamlet? ‘Hide fox, and all after,’ a casual quip of the Prince, as he and his enemy the King start to hunt each other down, is taken as the title for this closely-considered survey of the play. J.D. Winter finds question after question in it raised and unanswered, as if the play’s dramatic method were in part to create uncertainty in its audience. He adopts three phrases from the text to provide a context for his approach: the play’s the thing, a rhapsody of words, and the invisible event.

Child Actors on the London Stage, circa 1600

ebook

Their Education, Recruitment and Theatrical Success JULIE ACKROYD

Shorlisted for the 2018 Society for Theatre Research Book Prize Julie Ackroyd’s fascinating, detailed exploration of professional child boy actors on the London stage of the late 16th and early 17th centuries opens an important window onto a little explored area of early modern theatre.

All scholars of Renaissance drama will discover fresh, valuable insights in this absorbing study. Tom Healy, Professor of Renaissance Studies, University of Sussex The cross-dressed boy players of the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century theatre have for two decades now attracted some of the most exciting scholarship in English Renaissance studies. Julie Ackroyd's Child Actors on the London Stage both consolidates and extends this body of work, placing the phenomenon in its full social, cultural and educational context.

His eight Sussex Academic titles are presented on the Press website.

“For more than thirty years, Eli Rozik has been among the best known international theorists of theatre, thanks to his wide-ranging books on theatre history and methodology.” Marvin Carlson, City University of New York “Eli Rozik joins a long tradition of scholarship on the performance codes of theatre, stretching from the Prague Linguistic School of the 1930s to contemporary writings in theatre semiotics, phenomenology, hermeneutics, and audience response theory.”

But his literary studies are only part of a wider concern with the values of institutions and of society more broadly. Covering all these aspects of Miller’s achievements, this excellent collection of interviews shows him at his searching, wise, and readable best.” Derek Attridge, Professor of English, University of York; Fellow, British Academy HB ISBN 978-1-84519-864-0 £65/$79.95 PB ISBN 978-1-84519-865-7 £25/$34.95 320 pp. 229 × 152 mm

The Uselessness of Art Essays in the Philosophy ofArt and Literature PETER LAMARQUE

Oscar Wilde’s famous quip “All art is quite useless” might not be as outrageous or demonstrably false as is often supposed. No-one denies that much art begins life with practical aims in mind: religious, moral, political, propagandistic, or the aggrandising of its subjects. But those works that survive the test of time will move into contexts where for new audiences any initial instrumental values recede and the works come to be valued “for their own sake”. The book explores this idea and its ramifications.

The Habits of Distraction

ebook

MICHAEL WOOD

The thoughts traced in this book may seem a little complicated but the project itself is simple. It is to see what sort of weight and extension Walter Benjamin’s phrase ‘reception in distraction’ can be seen to bear in changing contexts.

The book first looks at the theoretical contours of the phrase, and several of its relatives, in the work of Benjamin and Barthes, with a glance at a prehistory in Proust and others. It then closely considers some different objects of reception and different forms of distraction: in jazz, classical music, poetry, painting, art house film and popular film. Particular instances are: an album by Miles Davis and his group, a song by Richard Strauss, a poem

by W. B. Yeats, a painting by Max Ernst, a film by Luís Buñuel, a film by Clint Eastwood.

Talking Walking Essays in Cultural Criticism RACHEL BOWLBY

“Bowlby’s work brilliantly insists on the relevance of cultural critique to our own everyday lives.” Josephine McDonagh, Professor of 19th-century Literature, King’s College London “This is a wonderfully readable, eloquent, wise, witty, and absorbing book.” J. Hillis Miller, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature and English, University of California, Irvine The short pieces brought together in Talking Walking engage with all sorts of arguments then, now and earlier about the uses and history of critical reading – of literature, and also of other cultural forms. There is much on the changing styles of literary-critical writing, and on the place of particular writers – Virginia Woolf or Jacques Derrida – in contemporary critical culture. There are pieces on clichés, on footnotes, on the language of the university job interview, on the use of ‘domesticate’ as a catch-all negative term. There are also essays on cultural questions informed by critical theory.

Human Dynamics in Hispanic Worlds EDITED BY DEBRA D. ANDRIST

Jigsaw puzzles’ notorious complexity and mega-multiple, amorphously-shaped pieces provide an appropriate metaphor for the navigating and maneuvering necessary throughout all aspects of human dynamics.

Involvement comprises not only efforts by an individual personally trying to fit together a life of relationships with Family, Friends & Foes within complex categories and different levels, but the efforts by groups of individuals within those categories, progressively, by those groups within a larger society and/or societies, and then, across so many so-called boundaries: geographic, ethnic, linguistic, artistic and more. Such is the starting point for this particular collection of essays, which focuses on the human dynamics in cultures characterized, mostly linguistically, as Hispanic worlds, and those cultures both in real life and in terms of cultural productions such as movies, visual art and literature.

“Many have been the stereotypes perpetrated in popular culture and even in academia about machismo and the gender oppression suffered by Hispanic women. Now, finally, under the leadership of Debra Andrist, scholars from diverse disciplines have examined gender roles as perceived by Hispanic women on both sides of the Atlantic in their literature and theater as well as in the heroic roles they have assumed in religion, politics and education. The resultant picture that is drawn in this very valuable survey not only destroys traditional stereotypes but also hails the existence of the vibrant diversity and incontrovertible achievements of Latinas across time.” Nicolás Kanellos, Brown Foundation Professor of Hispanic Studies, Director of Arte Público Press and Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage, University of Houston HB ISBN 978-1-84519-890-9 £70/$95 320 pp. 229 × 152 mm

Scholarly endorsements for the book are available on the Press website Why are religious rituals, symbols, and rhetoric so full of images of blood, sacrifice, and death? Why does religious fervor so often lead to Holy War, Crusade, and Jihad? No wonder many people assume that religion tends to give rise to violence. But what if it were the other way around? What if violence actually gave rise to religion? Political philosopher James Bernard Murphy presents here a series of sharp and witty dialogues in which Girard attempts to defend his ideas against attacks by rival theorists, among them, Sigmund Freud, William James, Simone Weil, Elias Canetti and Joseph de Maistre. in these illuminating and lively exchanges, Girard squares off with the titans of social theory.

Coming of Age in Madrid An Oral History of Unaccompanied Moroccan Migrant Minors SUSAN PLANN

Coming of Age in Madrid is a longitudinal study of twenty-seven Moroccan youth who migrated to Madrid as unaccompanied minors, passed their adolescence in the Spanish child-care system, and embarked on their lives as young adults. The stories begin with narrators’ lives in Morocco, contextualizing their migratory experience, then follows them – children traveling alone – as they across the Strait of Gibraltar and make their way to Madrid. Using qualitative interviews to capture narrators’ accounts in their own words, this oral history examines their identity trans/formation, integration, and acculturation in Spain.

The Myth of the Modern Hero

ebook

Changing Perceptions of Heroism JANE L. BOWNAS

The warrior heroes of Greek legend fighting for individual glory and honour have little in common with the soldiers fighting in the wars of the twentieth century, resulting in the creation of a new hero myth, that of the patriotic, dutiful and obedient soldier. As a result of wars and the emergence of new states there is a need for new myths depicting heroes who fight and if necessary die in order to defend their nation. Heroic myths are important for those seeking power and this study considers the extent to which Germanic myths played a part in the emergence of Hitler as a ‘heroic’ leader.

Conspiracy, Coup d'état and Civil War in Seville, 1936–1939 History and Myth in Francoist Spain RÚBEN SERÉM

“Rúben Serém’s account of the military uprising in Seville in 1936 and the consequent repression is a superb example of a local study that casts its light far beyond the immediate geographical limits of its subject. It constitutes a crucial contribution to the burgeoning historiographical debate about the mass murder of civilians behind the lines in the Spanish Civil War. It focuses on Seville, one of the pivotal areas in the military coup.

Totally original, the book blends the techniques of social, political and military history and presents its new empirical material within a rich Spanish and European context that demonstrates a remarkable command of the huge secondary literature on the subject. The empirical contribution derives from painstaking research not only from work in British and Portuguese archives, but from the important material unearthed by Dr Serém in a further twelve archives in Spain.” From the Series Editor’s Preface HB ISBN 978-1-84519-881-7 £70/$79.95 300 pp. 234 × 156 mm Illustrated

Barrier and Bridge

ebook

Spanish and Gibraltarian Perspectives on Their Border EDITED BY ANDREW CANESSA

Guest Series Editor’s Preface by Gareth Stockey, University of Nottingham Brexit looms ever closer one of the many problem raised by the UK’s departure from the EU is the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar which shares a land border with Spain across which approximately 40 per cent of Gibraltar’s labour force cross daily. Real questions are being raised on the future of this border and how it will be managed but one can only understand its future based on a sound knowledge of its evolution.

Barrier and Bridge explores the recent history of the border drawing on documentary and oral history accounts on both sides. It offers a human as much as a political history and argues that whereas at the beginning of the twentieth century there was virtually no border and strong cultural, economic, linguistic, and ethnic ties that straddled it, by the end of the century the border denoted a much more profound sense of difference between the populations. The book traces the complex developments over the twentieth century, looking at language change, marriage patterns, governance through the border, the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War and the changing relationship between the UK and the residents of the Rock who, over this period, identified increasingly as British.

MAGGIE TORRES

This history of the anarcho-syndicalist trade union, the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo, analyses a period much neglected in historical research: from the end of the civil war in 1939 to the period of democratic change from 1976 to 1979, when the organisation was reconstructed after Franco’s death. The Franco years were characterised by extraordinary division within the CNT and by the bureaucratisation and ossification of the organisation now part in exile in France. The decimation of the Spanish CNT in 1947 by draconian repression enhanced the role of the exiled CNT, which was now the sole representative of the historic Anarchist movement in Spain.

Cold War Influences on Anglo-American Representations of the Spanish Civil War DARRYL ANTHONY BURROWES

The works of four Anglo-American ‘writer-historians’, who are accepted as contributing to the foundational analysis of the Spanish conflict, were shaped not just by the events of the past, but by the political climate of the time. Using archival documents and first-person accounts, Dr Burrowes scrutinizes the lives and works of two novelists, George Orwell and Gerald Brenan, and of two Spanish Civil War specialist historians, Burnett Bolloten and Herbert Southworth, in order to determine to what extent these writers participated in the murky cultural politics generated by the Cold War’s rabid anti-communist climate, and how they presented and interpreted the roles played by the Spanish Communist Party and the USSR in Spain’s Second Spanish Republic and its Civil War.

This account of the “republican” period in the life of Gil-Robles is the first thoroughly-researched biography that examines in a balanced, well-documented manner the paramount contribution he made to the democratization of Spanish conservative politics. It responds to crucial questions as to why the CEDA was unsuccessful, and what were the obstacles that it encountered in its attempts to amend the republican system. Equally, it also analyses the manner in which Gil-Robles led the forces of conservatism, one based on tenets that were clearly distant from fascism but equally opposed both to Marxism and liberal individualism.

The Roots of the Transition to Democracy in Spain, 1962–1982 EDITED BY MIGUEL ÁNGEL RUIZ CARNICER

This book brings together recent research by a group of specialists in history and sociology to provide a new reading of the late Franco dictatorship, especially in relation to its political culture. The authors focus on the election of local, trade union and national representatives, the work of the first Spanish sociologists, the struggle over administrative reform, the role of the media and the intellectuals, as well as the evolution of the dictatorship’s political class and its response to the regime’s decline. Not only are the politics of the late dictatorship scrutinised, but also the mechanisms that were deployed to control the fast-changing society of the 1960s and 1970s.

A Balancing Act

ebook

British Intelligence in Spain during the Second World War EMILIO GRANDÍO SEOANE

This book reveals the development, strategy and extraordinary success of Britain’s secret services in Franco’s Spain during the Second World War. The main claim of this study is that British pressure, exercised above all through their intelligence services, led Franco to distance himself from the Axis cause and eventually embrace that of the Allies. Starting from a virtually non-existent base, the British rapidly built up a complex intelligence network in Spain that stretched from Corunna to Barcelona and from Bilbao to Gibraltar.

The Lost Worlds of Rhodes Greeks, Italians, Jews and Turks between Tradition and Modernity

íˇ€ BEST SELLER

NATHAN SHACHAR

Four peoples, each with its own culture, language and faith, shared a small Mediterranean town and experienced, each in its own way, the upheavals of war, modernity, emigration and occupation. With the German takeover in 1943, the Holocaust in 1944 and the beginning of Greek rule in 1947, this multiethnic world perished forever. At the centre of this book stands the Sephardi community – Spanish-speaking Jews who arrived in Rhodes sometime after the Spanish expulsion edict of 1492 and who remained the largest single group within the old city walls until Italy adopted German racial legislation in 1938.

Revolution in Paradise Representations of Jewish Characters in the Cinema of Occupied France YEHUDA MORALY

The era of the German Occupation of France constituted, surprisingly, a golden age for the arts: literature, theater, popular music and cinema. Some of these films were intimately linked to the political situation. They convey the demonization of characters that, while not specifically presented as Jews nevertheless manifested anti-Semitic stereotypes of the Jew as ugly, rootless, low, hypocritical, immoral, cruel and power hungry.

TARIK K. FIRRO

This book examines the role of Muhammad Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab (1703–1792) and his successors in reconsolidating the religious principles of Wahhabism. It explains the role of the Sa’udi princes in crystallizing the core of the Sa’udi–Wahhabi political entity within their tribal society. Key to this explanation is the interrelation between sedentary and nomadic populations and the consequent impact on the development of Saudi political entities prior to the emergence of the Sa’udi Kingdom.

ebook

Mutual relations between the Israeli central government and the Israeli Arab Palestinian minority ALEXANDER BLIGH AND GADI HITMAN

This book analyzes the changes that have taken place in the mutual relationship between the Israeli establishment and the Arab minority since the early 1990s. Changing internal political circumstances on both sides, often led by external world events, have shaped action/reaction and made relations complex. To date this relationship has not been subject to social science analysis, despite some excellent books and journal articles setting out the historic and political relations from 1948 onward, some with a particular emphasis on the Arab polity. National Schism and Civil Integration is the first comprehensive book to tackle the multi-faceted political dimensions of the relationship, and likewise the first to study the linkage between the inner politics of the Arab communities and their relations with the central government.

From Lisbon to the World

Fernando Pessoa’s Enduring Literary Presence GEORGE MONTEIRO

Fernando Pessoa is one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. Until some years ago known in the Englishspeaking world only among a minority of connaisseurs, his work is finally becoming available in English translations, and more are in the process of reaching the literary public. Born in Lisbon in 1888, Pessoa was only forty-seven when he died, but he left behind a staggering number of unpublished manuscripts that are still being screened and brought to light. George Steiner heralded the day Pessoa discovered his major Portuguese heteronyms, for no country had ever seen the birth of four great poets in a single day. That was a reference to the personae Pessoa created, the famous heteronyms Alberto Caeiro, Álvaro de Campos, and Ricardo Reis, besides the man himself—all poets in their own right with their biographies and even critical exchanges among themselves. Today well over a hundred Pessoa heteronyms are known, including, notably, the semi-heteronym Bernardo Soares, author of The Book of Disquiet, presently available in two English translations.

A Political Biography FRANCISCO CARLOS PALOMANES MARTINHO

Caetano’s Presidency (beginning in September 1968) reflected the tense relationship between the government and the “liberal wing” on the colonial crisis. Ultimately this led to the final crisis of the New State regime; the fragmentation of the armed forces; and the Carnation Revolution on April 25, 1974. During his exile in Brazil between 1974 and 1980 Caetano maintained correspondence with his Portuguese friends. These correspondences, introduced and explained by Francisco Martinho, are of exceptional importance in understanding Portugal’s contemporary political history.

Violence and Everyday Life during the Indonesian Occupation of East Timor, 1975–1999 HANNAH LONEY

Scholarly endorsements for the book are available on the Press website The violence experienced by East Timorese women ranged from torture, rape, and interrogation, to various forms of surveillance and social control, and the structural imposition of particular feminine ideals upon their lives and bodies. Through women, East Timorese familial culture was also targeted via programmes to “develop” and “modernise” the territory by transforming the feminine and the domestic sphere. Women experienced the occupation differently to men, not just because they were vulnerable to sexual violence, but also because they endured proxy violence as the military’s means of targeting male relatives and the resistance at large.

Credit for the shameful act of the Balfour Declaration of 1917 is generally given to the Zionist supporters of Theodor Herzl. But Britain cleared the way by expelling the Mufti of Jerusalem, the Palestinians’ only leader, providing the Zionists, who extraordinarily made concurrent overtures to Hitler and Mussolini, with military training in Britain’s Second World War campaigns in Iraq and Syria. Itself ejected by its ungrateful protégé, Britain lost all the aims of its Declaration (no base to guard the Suez Canal, no Haifa port, no railway to Iraq and no oil pipeline) and all its prestige in the Arab World.

Pablo Picasso

The Interaction between Collectors and Exhibitions, 1899–1939 ENRIQUE MALLEN

Picasso’s first known dealer was Père Manyach, whom he met in Paris in 1900 when he was only 19 years old. As his representative, Manyach went about setting up exhibitions of his works at galleries in the French capital, such as Bethe Weill’s and Ambroise Vollard’s. Picasso’s first major exhibition took place in 1901 at Vollards. DanielHenry Kahnweiler and Léonce Rosenberg came in after Vollard lost interest during the Cubist period, as they had a manifest preference for the new style. Like Vollard, later dealers often preferred the more conventional Neoclassical phase in Picasso. Once collectors acquired an artwork, their willingness to lend them to exhibitions or their necessity to submit them to auction had a direct impact on Picasso’s prominence in the art world.

Should Muslim women be exempted from feminist attempts at liberation from patriarchy and its various expressions, which include Islamic laws and customs as they are practiced in the present time?’ Her compelling response to these questions incites us brilliantly to read the religious challenges facing feminist studies and women’s movements beyond Pakistan.” Shahrzad Mojab, University of Toronto, co-author of Revolutionary Learning: Marxism, Feminism and Knowledge HB ISBN 978-1-84519-916-6 £50/$69.95 224 pp. 229 × 152 mm

The America that the Spanish and Portuguese discovered became, from the sixteenth century onwards, a space in which it was possible to imagine the widest variety of forms of human coexistence. Utopias in Latin America reconsiders the sense and understanding of utopias in various historical frames: the discovery of indigenous cultures and their natural environments; the foundation of new towns and cities in a vast colonial territory considered as empty space in which it was possible to start afresh; the experimental communities of nineteenthcentury utopian socialists and European exiled intellectuals; and the innovative formulae that attempts to get beyond twentieth-century capitalism.

The author ponders on the question why the Spanish Crown and the Church failed to apply the necessary measures to effectively protect the natives, particularly during the first years of the conquest and its aftermaths, when exploitation practices were gradually formed and implemented. The author further enquires how exploitation on this scale was made possible despite a constant flow of reports emphasizing the clear and present danger to the very existence of the natives and the profound, ongoing debates, led by most prominent intellectuals of the time, challenging its justification.

Environment and the Law in Amazonia

NOW IN PAPERBACK

A Plurilateral Encounter EDITED BY JAMES M. COOPER AND CHRISTINE HUNEFELDT

There are few topics so large yet so uncovered in the academic literature as the Amazon Basin. Much of the area that connects nine South American states, hundreds of indigenous peoples, dozens of multinational corporations, and the world’s lungs, remains unexplored and demographic density is still low. But development throughout the Basin has occurred with a ravaging appetite: loggers have decimated parts of the region with their fishbone patterns of extraction; large-scale agribusiness has moved into a power vacuum. This important book sets out how the Amazon Basin’s indigenous self-determination meets corporate profiteering, where the future of natural resource stewardship is hotly debated, where subsistence living, extreme poverty, and the vagaries of the international commodities markets are revealed.

His Master’s Reflection

ebook

Travels with John Polidori, Lord Byron’s Doctor and Author of The Vampyre ANDREW AND SUZANNE EDWARDS

Qualifying as a doctor in 1815 at the tender age of nineteen, John Polidori was employed less than a year later by the poet, Lord Byron, as his travelling physician. The precocious medic was seemingly destined for a bright future that would enable him to combine his profession with a love of literature. In His Master’s Reflection, the authors follow Polidori’s footsteps as he accompanies Byron through Europe to Switzerland where they eventually meet the Shelleys and Claire Clairmont. Fulfilling his father’s prophecy, the fateful summer will prove to have a devastating impact on Polidori’s life and legacy.

Byron’s keen wit and elevated status would leave the sensitive doctor feeling isolated and undervalued. Fuelled by acerbic comments from the poet’s friends, Byron finally releases Polidori from his contract, leaving the penniless medic to wander over the Alps on foot to Italy, his father’s homeland. Despite attempts at establishing himself as a doctor to the expatriate community, he has to admit defeat and return to England. Still harbouring literary ambitions, his one chance at fame is cruelly denied when The Vampyre, the story he had written in Geneva, is attributed to Byron. Gossip and retelling of events have cast Polidori in the role of a petulant plagiarist. Concussion from a riding accident deeply affected Polidori’s temperament and behaviour, leaving questions surrounding his death, which history has recorded as suicide by prussic acid, despite the coroner’s verdict of ‘visitation by God’. The authors delve into his final years in an attempt to redress the balance. The handsome Polidori was more than just his master’s reflection.

BY ESTHER MINARS as told by EVA EISENKEIT

“To this day I am unable to understand how I managed to survive against all odds.”

So relates the memoir of a young woman, Eva Szek (later Eisenkeit), who survived the Nazi onslaught against Jews in her beloved city of Lublin in Poland, an important centre of Jewish religion and culture. Eva recounts with compelling testimony her fearless fight not to fall into German hands and to save her family. Her experiences under German occupation, her struggle to survive and her subsequent liberation is an historical account of the tragedy of a Jewish community destroyed.

The memoir describes Jewish Lublin life before the war, its religious institutions and charities; Polish–Jewish relations; the German bombing and invasion; the Russian escape options; the German occupation and registration of Jews; Eva’s escape from the ghetto and two labour camps; her hiding in villages and farms, and complex wartime relations with Poles; her negotiated freedom with Mr. X (a Polish man who hid Jews for money, and cannot be considered a “Righteous”); life in liberated Lublin, including the first Passover celebration; meeting other survivors and trying to make a living; and Eva’s postwar move to Lodz and marriage, and then to a Displaced Persons (DP) camp in Germany.

As her eighty-fifth birthday approached, Eva asked her daughter Esther to take down her life story “so the whole world will know what the Germans did.” A Lublin Survivor: Life is Like a Dream not only provides an extraordinarily complete and descriptive picture of life in pre-war and liberated Lublin but a first-hand account of the obliteration of its Jewish community and one individual’s indomitable determination to survive against all odds.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS.

The South China Sea Arbitration Understanding the Awards and Debating with China ALFREDO C. ROBLES, JR.

The South China Sea Arbitration, which marks the first time that the Philippines and China have been parties to a compulsory dispute settlement procedure, is a landmark legal case. he Tribunal’s task was rendered arduous by China’s refusal to appear before it. In these circumstances, understanding the Tribunal’s decisions is a challenging undertaking. China’s public relations campaign targeting the proceedings raised issues that the layperson could readily grasp, notably African states’ support for its non-appearance, the integrity of the judges, and the validity of arbitral awards. Understanding the Awards and Debating with China aims to facilitate understanding of the South China Sea Arbitration by presenting detailed summaries of the two Arbitral Awards. The author rebuts the questionable claims raised by China’s public relations campaign and highlights China’s covert actions during the proceedings.
