Half Leather. Condizione: Gut. XV, 1014 p.: Ill. Einband mit sehr leichten Gebrauchsspuren, innen sauber und ohne Anstreichungen / Binding with very light signs of handling, clean inside and without annotations. - Preface The Reader's Encyclopedia of Shakespeare has been compiled in the hope of offering in a single volume all the essential information available about every feature of Shakespeare's life and works. Its compact form permits convenient reference to persons, places, literary works, and other subjects relevant to Shakespeare. It thus becomes a compendium of the results of studies made by scholars and biographers, bv historians, literary, political, and social, and by editors and critics from the poet's own time to the present day. Almost every statement in the volume is based on some exhaustive study made by an expert through the years. In presenting this mass of material, however, the editors and their staff have kept in mind that they are addressing not only the specialist, but also everyone with an interest in Shakespeare and delight in his works that has been awakened in the classroom, the library, or the theatre. They hope that the volume will at once arouse and satisfy the reader's curiosity about the greatest of all English playwrights and poets. Nothing that casts even a feeble ray of light on Shakespeare's life, his career, or his reputation has been rejected as too trivial to deserve a place in the encyclopedia. The volume contains an entry for nearly every individual with whom Shakespeare is known or suspected to have established a relationship, for the playwrights thought to have influenced him or been influenced by him, for every significant character in the plays, for important actors remembered for performances in principal roles of the plays, for celebrated critics or editors of his works. The encyclopedia contains many essays written for the volume by outstanding scholars on the subjects of their particular competence. Taken together these articles form a spectrum of views of the poet and of methods adopted for discovering the essential character of each drama. They also become a composite picture of current methods of criticism as applied to Shakespeare. Generally accepted biographical details of the dramatist's life are summarized in the first entry under his name and treated more fully in separate entries. A less conventional feature of the encyclopedia is a brief survey of Shakespeare's intellectual and theatric growth and developmentdoubtless a piece of presumption. Although they realize that the mainsprings of this development lie hidden in the secret places of the poet's personality, the editors have hoped to discern some of its outlines. For example we can see how the elements of many of the early comedies and tragedies were reworked with telling effect in the works of Shakespeare's maturity. Obviously, such transformations as these are evidence of profound changes in Shakespeare's conceptions of tragedy and in his ideas of mortality. The editors have given a full examination to each play in the accepted canon, including a summary of its plot, an investigation of its sources, the probable date of its composition, and finally a critical opinion of the work. Although this comment is usually an expression of the editors' ideas, dissident opinions are given full spread elsewhere in the book, which thus becomes a variorum of the interpretations of Shakespeare's work for three hundred years. No other author of the Western world has stimulated so much thought among the best minds of each generation, so much research by its most gifted scholars, such keen insight by professional philosophers, so much eloquence by masters of rhetoric, and, alas!, so much tortured ingenuity expended by enthusiasts in support of rival claimants to the authorship of dramas they believe to be falsely attributed to a "village ignoramus." One could say, without being accused of idolatry, that the mental vigor and aesthetic sensibility of each English-speaking generation can be partly measured by its acceptance of Shakespeare's genius and the fervor of its response to his vision of life and his scrutiny of death. This is a fortunate moment for the appearance of a Shakespeare encyclopedia. Critical attention to him has reached a new high. Never before has some acquaintance with the playwright and his work been so widespread. His plays are taught and minutely examined in secondary schools, colleges, and graduate schools. Many candidates for the Ph.D. degree in English departments present dissertations dealing with Shakespeare or with subjects related to him and his career. Literally millions of paper-backed editions of his plays crowd the bookstalls. Volumes of essays on his life, his plays, and his poems stream from the presses in many lands. Scores of festivals by groups organized for staging his dramas take place each year in England, Canada, and the United States. To these festivals pilgrims of adjoining regions go as to shrines. Some educators impatient with what they believe unhealthy overemphasis on this study refer to it as the Shakespeare Industry. The Reader's Encyclopedia of Shakespeare, by giving its readers an all-embracing view of Shakespeare criticism up to the present, can serve as a warning to future scholars against fastidious judgments, against bold, ill-supported generalities, and above all, against unsuccessfully disguised repetition of stale opinions. In this way the body of future study of the poet can be based on a secure historical and aesthetic foundation. ISBN 9780690674125 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 1665.

Condizione: Very Good. Cambridge Mass, The MIT Press, 2004. 8vo. xiv,+ 531 pp. Publ. cloth with dustwrapper. (The MIT Press Euroasian Population and Family History Series.) Dedication to Johan (Söderberg) from the editor Tommy Bengtsson. First edition. ?A pioneering work in comparative history and social science that compares population behavior in response to adversity in Europe and Asia. This highly original book-the first in a series analyzing historical population behavior in Europe and Asia-pioneers a new approach to the comparative analysis of societies in the past. Using techniques of event history analysis, the authors examine 100,000 life histories in 100 rural communities in Western Europe and Asia to analyze the demographic response to social and economic pressures. In doing so they challenge the accepted Eurocentric Malthusian view of population processes and demonstrate that population behavior has not been as uniform as previously thought-that it has often been determined by human agency, particularly social structure and cultural practice. The authors examine the complex relationship between human behavior and social and economic environment, analyzing age, gender, family, kinship, social class and social organization, climate, food prices, and real wages to compare mortality responses to adversity. Their research at the individual, household, and community levels challenges the previously accepted characterizations of social and economic behavior in Europe and Asia in the past. The originality of the analysis as well as the geographic breadth and historical depth of the data make Life Under Pressure a significant advance in the field of historical demography. Its findings will be of interest to scholars in economics, environmental studies, demography, history, and sociology as well as the general reader interested in these subjects.?
