Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Gerard de Nervals French translations of Goethes Faust are key works in FrancoGerman cultural relations, but they have often been mythologized. This book presents a nuanced view of works that continue to be the principal conveyors in France of arguably the foremost work of German literature. Less well known than his translations, Nervals own Faustian dramas the Faust fragment (c. 1827), Nicolas Flamel (1831), and LImagier de Harlem (1851) have received little scholarly attention and yet reveal much about his, and indeed other, French interpretations of Faust. The author examines Nervals convergences with and divergences from Goethe diachronically in order to identify and compare what may be termed Goethean and Nervalian Faustian paradigms, thereby unravelling hitherto unknown facets of Nervalian aesthetics. Alongside Goethe and Nerval, the book investigates intercultural relations that have a bearing on Nervals Faustian writing in France during this dynamic period. It opens up new avenues for thinking about intertextuality, literary translation and adaptation through two major figures of European writing. Gerard de Nervals French translations of Goethes Faust are key works in Franco-German cultural relations. This book presents a nuanced view of works that continue to be the principal conveyors in France of arguably the foremost work of German literature.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book presents an analysis of more than 30 plays written by Irish dramatists and poets that are based on the tragedies of Sophocles, Euripides and Aeschylus. These plays proceed from the time of Yeats and Synge through MacNeice and the Longfords on to many of todays leading writers. A special feature of the book is that, in order to cater for these who may know little about Greek tragedy, it begins with a chapter entitled A Brief Reading of Greek Tragedy, and then, in regard to each Greek play analysed, it presents a mini-essay on that play, before coming to the Irish version(s) of it. Three features of these Irish appropriations stand out. Firstly, there are three methods of using a Greek tragedy: straight translation, which requires us to interrogate the original play; version, which preserves the invariant core of the original, but which can add or subtract material; loose adaptation, which often moves the action into the modern world. Secondly, there is a considerable stress on Sophocles whose emphasis on the theme of recognition resonates in a postcolonial society that must define itself. Thirdly, there is a considerable stress on the experience of women such as Antigone and Medea that can relate to the position of women in Irish society after independence. This book presents an analysis of more than 30 plays written by Irish dramatists and poets that are based on the tragedies of Sophocles, Euripides and Aeschylus. These plays proceed from the time of Yeats and Synge through MacNeice and the Longfords on to many of todays leading writers.

The root of the word monster means omen or warning, and if monsters frighten us, its because they are here to warn us about something amiss in ourselves and in our society. Humanity has given birth to these monsters, and they grow and change with us, carrying the scars of their birth with them.This collection of original and accessible essays looks at a variety of contemporary monsters from literature, film, television, music and the internet within their respective historical and cultural contexts. Beginning with a critical introduction that explores the concept of the monster in the work of Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, Jack Halberstam, Elaine Showalter and more, the book takes a broad approach to the monster, including not only classic slasher films, serial killers (Bates Motel), the living dead (Game of Thrones) and aliens (District 9), but also hyper-contemporary examples like clones (Orphan Black), cyberbullies (Cyberbully), viral outbreaks (The Strain) and celebrities (Lady Gaga). Gender and culture are especially emphasized in the volume, with essays on the role of gender and sexuality in defining the monster (AHS Apocalypse) and global monsters (Cleverman, La Llorona).This compact guide to the monster in contemporary culture will be useful to teachers, students and fans looking to expand their understanding of this important cultural figure. What are Monsters? Monsters serve as a warning about something amiss in our surroundings.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The under-representation of women in leadership positions in educational settings is a widely acknowledged, complex phenomenon that seems to persist, despite the fact that teaching as a profession is dominated by women. Over recent decades, scholars have investigated the factors contributing towards this under-representation, with a particular focus on the personal, organisational and social/cultural levels.This volume has been compiled in honour of Marianne Coleman, Emeritus Reader in Educational Leadership and Management at the Institute of Education, University College London. She is widely regarded as one of the most significant scholars globally in the field of gender and educational leadership, forging the research agenda and mentoring some of the scholars who contribute essays here. Amongst the key questions the book asks are: Why does society continue to accept male leaders as the norm? What barriers do women who seek leadership positions face? What supports do women require in order to encourage them to pursue leadership positions? How do women working in leadership positions conceive of their role as leaders? How might womens educational leadership be best supported at an institutional level? Under-representation of women in leadership positions in education is a complex phenomenon. This book asks searching questions such as: Why do we accept male leaders as the norm? What barriers do women seeking leadership face? How do women leaders conceive of their role? How might womens leadership be supported at an institutional level? Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
