"Exploring the diverse forms of natural theology expressed in seventeenth-century English literature, Katherine Calloway reveals how, in ways only partially recognized until now, authors such as Donne, Herbert, Vaughan, Cavendish, Hutchinson, Milton, Marvell, and Bunyan describe, challenge, and even practice natural theology in their poetry"--

Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) enjoyed European-wide fame during his lifetime. Dürer was not only a brilliant painter, but also a pioneering printmaker, experimental draughtsman, book publisher, first German art theoretician and amateur poet. His art was avidly collected, repeatedly copied in diverse media, and often forged. Then, with his death, the posthumous Dürers were born. This book addresses his afterlife or, more correctly, afterlives. Beginning with the heartfelt eulogies of his friends and the creation of contemporary portraits of the Nuremberg master, Dürer's person, his likenesses, and his art have been celebrated for over five hundred years. Our contemporary Dürer is the subject of intense scholarly discussions on the one hand and of social and commercial popularization on the other hand.

The thrilling story of the Jews in Venice - and the truth behind one of Shakespeare's most famous characters.Millions of visitors flood to Venice every year. Yet many are unaware of its history - one of dramatic expansion but also of rapid decline. And essential to any history of Venice during its glory days is the story of its Jewish population. Venice gave the world the word ghetto. Astonishingly, the ghetto prison turned out to be as remarkable a place as the city of Venice itself.With sound scholarship and a narrator's skill, Harry Freedman tells the story of Venice's Jews. From the founding of the ghetto in 1516, to the capture of Venice by Napoleon in 1798, he describes the remarkable cultural renaissance that took place in the Venice ghetto. Gates and walls notwithstanding, for the first time in European history Jews and Christians mingled intellectually, learned from each other, shared ideas and entered modernity together. When it came to culture, the ghetto walls were porous.Any history of Venice and its Jews also can't avoid the story of Shakespeare's Shylock. The cultural and political revival in the Venice ghetto is often obscured from history by this fictional character. Who, we wonder, was Shylock? Would the people of Venice have recognized him and what did Shakespeare really think of him? Shakespeare's ambivalent anti-Semitism reflects attitudes to Jews in Elizabethan England - but as Freedman demonstrates, Shakespeare's myth is wholly ignorant of the literary, cultural and interfaith revival that Shylock would have experienced.

"Things We keep From the Light" is a powerful and emotional poetry collection that delves into the hidden truths that we keep buried deep inside. It explores the themes of healing, self-love, forgiveness, and empowerment. Through the use of raw and honest language, the author takes us on a journey of self-discovery as they share their own experiences of overcoming pain and rising above. The book is divided into four chapters, each one delving deeper into the emotions that we hide from the light. It is an honest and relatable work that will resonate with readers of all ages. This poetry collection is not just a book, it's a journey to self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. It's a reminder that the beauty in the world lies in the rising after the fall. It's time to let go of the past, embrace the present and be who we're meant to be.

Das Buch widmet sich der Frage, weshalb Krankheitserfahrungen in der frühneuzeitlichen Lyrik zwischen 1490 und 1720 eine beispiellose Prominenz entfalten. Die Basis der Untersuchung bilden Texte bekannter und weniger bekannter deutscher (Spät-)Humanisten (u. a. Konrad Celtis, Paul Schede Melissus, Johann Christian Günther), die in ihren medizinhistorischen, theologischen und / oder frömmigkeitsgeschichtlichen Kontexten verortet werden (Syphilis- und Fieberkunde, Medizinaltheologie und Sterbekunst). Was diese Texte verbindet, so die leitende These der Studie, ist ihre konzeptuelle Nähe zum Paradigma der Selbstsorge (cura sui, epimeleia heautou), wie es zunächst von Pierre Hadot, später von Michel Foucault für die antike Popularphilosophie beschrieben wurde. Die Examination des Körpers, die theologisch informierte Reflexion über den pathologischen Zustand, aber auch die Bereitung zum Sterben beschreiben einige der Praktiken, für die die Krankheitslyrik ein ästhetisches Gefäß im Dienst der Selbstsorge bereitstellt. Mit der vorliegenden Studie wird der frühneuzeitliche Typus des Krankheitsgedichts erstmals im Zusammenhang dargestellt und für Forscher/-innen aus den Bereichen Literaturwissenschaft, Medizingeschichte und Theologie zugänglich gemacht.

Looking at Elizabeth as a human being rather than a political chess piece, her narrative explores the dangers and tragedies that plagued Elizabeth's early life, revealing the queen to be a young women who drew strength from her various plights as she navigated one of the most thrilling paths to the throne in the history of the monarchy.

This engaging book highlights the role of blue paper in the history of drawing.

This edited collection focusses on the writing of ordinary, semi-literate people in history, emphasising the agency and voices of the subordinate classes and contesting conventional histories that treat them as passive or silent. It analyses 'ordinary writings' across a range of geographical areas, historical periods and scholarly disciplines.

Shakespeare's adolescents examines the varied representation of adolescent characters in Shakespeare's plays. Using early modern medical knowledge, the book unpacks complexities that surrounded the cultural and theatrical representations of the 'signs' of the maturation used to construct Shakespeare's many adolescent characters.

Transcultural things explores visual and material modes of vernacular self-expression in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, a confederate polity created in 1569 as the Polish, Ruthenian, Lithuanian and Prussian nobilities found themselves drawing closer together culturally. It examines how the process of becoming an interconnected political community was activated and legitimised by material culture such as maps, illustrated histories, costumes and carpets. These artefacts came to act as signifiers of localness and the Commonwealth's cultural distinctiveness, yet they were often from abroad, particularly the Ottoman Empire. Highlighting objects' mobility, adaptation and cultural reappropriation, this study points to the exogenous underpinnings of cultural self-identification and the allegedly local artefacts that mediated it. Transcultural things foreground the often-overlooked extrinsic aspect of nativism, positioning Poland-Lithuania as a useful methodological laboratory for challenging theories of national and societal cultural distinctiveness. The analysis reveals how a discourse of distinctiveness emerged in response to transcultural flows of people and artefacts as well as how, for Polish-Lithuanian elites, making sense of one's own world was fundamentally informed by other cultures - and was therefore, inevitably, embedded in a global context.

"A remarkable work about women writers in the Renaissance explodes our notion of the Shakespearean period and brings us in close to four women who were committed to their craft before there was any possibility of "a room of one's own." In a sparkling and engaging narrative of everyday life in Shakespearean England, Ramie Targoff carries us from the sumptuous coronation of Queen Elizabeth in the mid 16th century into the private lives of four women writers working without acknowledgment at a time when women were legally the property of men. Some readers may have heard of Mary Sidney, accomplished poet and sister of the famous Sir Philip Sidney, but few will have heard of Amelia Lanyer, the first woman to publish a book of poetry in the 17th century, which offered a feminist take on the crucifixion, or Elizabeth Cary, who published the first original play by a woman, about the plight of the Jewish princess Mariam. Then there was Anne Clifford, a lifelong diarist, who fought for decades against a patriarchy that tried to rob her of her land, in one of England's most infamous inheritance battles. These women had husbands and children to care for and little support for their art, yet against all odds they defined themselves as writers, finding rooms of their own whose doors had been shut for centuries. Targoff flings them open to uncover the treasures left by these extraordinary women by helping us see the period in a fresh light and by supplying an expanded reading of history and a much-needed female perspective on life in Shakespeare's day"--]cProvided by publisher.

Jahrhundert in vier jüdischen Sprachen - Hebräisch, Jiddisch, Judendeutsch und Judenspanisch. Neben der jeweils als Faksimile wiedergegebenen Quelle werden eine Transkription und eine deutsche Übersetzung geboten. Das Buch ermöglicht nicht nur einen Einstieg in die Quellenkunde, insbesondere die Paläographie, sondern durch Kurzbeschreibungen der Texte auch einen Einblick in die Geschichte der Juden im Heiligen Römischen Reich und seinen Nachfolgestaaten. Das Lehrbuch liegt nun in einer überarbeiteten Neuauflage vor.

Estudio histórico, partiendo de 1520, de los pueblos que configurarán a partir de 1586 el llamado corregimiento de la diecisiete villas o de San Clemente (Cuenca). El libro es una continuación de El año mil quinientos de la Mancha conquense, comienza con un estudio de las Comunidades de Castilla y va detallando en los diferentes aspectos politicos, económicos, sociales y culturales la evolución de las sociedades de los pueblos del sur de Cuenca, desde lo que hemos llamado la revolución de mil quinientos hasta el ocaso del siglo. Una evolución marcada por la pérdida de dinamismo y la forja de sociedades más desiguales, la consolidación de grandes villas y la configuración a su alrededor de aldeas en expansión. En el devenir de las sociedades rurales, serán puntos de inflexión las crisis sucesivas que malograrán el modelo igualitario de labradores propietarios al que se aspiraba. Por último, se estudia la organización administrativa de la gobernación del marquesado de Villena y las causas por las que esta entidad gubernativa entró en crisis para dividirse el año 1586 en dos corregimientos.

"A history of England from the Norman Conquest through the twentieth century, told through the stories of ordinary women"--

In the public imagination, small and medium-sized family businesses have always been male-dominated organisations, with those headed by women regarded as barely noteworthy exceptions to the rule. These ideas and associations are far from telling the full story; the proportion of women among Germany's self-employed population remained above 20 per cent throughout the twentieth century. A surge of interest in female entrepreneurs among academic researchers and in the political and media spheres has resulted in increasing recognition of their achievements past and present. There nevertheless remains a persistent tendency to overlook the fact that women have always made a vital contribution to the success of family businesses, even where they did not directly handle these companies' business affairs. This volume presents new insights into the diverse roles of women in family businesses, as daughters, wives, mothers, widows and entrepreneurs. Eleven case studies drawn from a range of sectors and eras illuminate the significance of women's influence in family businesses throughout the history of commerce. Bringing together approaches from the history of business, gender, society and culture, the chapters explore women's multi-faceted roles within numerous enterprises in a new and enlightening depth.

In der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung waren mittelständische Familienunternehmen stets männerdominiert, Unternehmerinnen an der Spitze galten als Randerscheinung. Dabei lag der Frauenanteil bei Selbstständigen im Verlauf des gesamten 20. Jahrhunderts bei über 20 Prozent. Inzwischen ist das Interesse von Forschung, Politik und Medien an Unternehmerinnen stark gewachsen, ihre Leistungen in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart werden zunehmend gewürdigt. Meist wird jedoch übersehen, dass Frauen schon immer maßgeblich zum Erfolg von Familienunternehmen beigetragen haben, selbst ohne direkt als Unternehmerin in Erscheinung zu treten. Der vorliegende Band eröffnet neue Perspektiven auf die unterschiedlichen Rollen von Frauen als Tochter, Ehefrau, Mutter, Witwe und Unternehmerin. Anhand von Fallbeispielen aus verschiedenen Branchen und Epochen zeigen elf Aufsätze, welchen maßgeblichen Einfluss Frauen seit jeher in Familienunternehmen hatten. Die Beiträge verbinden unternehmens-, gender-, sozial- und kulturhistorische Ansätze, um die vielfältigen Rollen von Frauen in Unternehmen eingehender zu beleuchten.

Im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung stehen Wandmalereien, Skulpturen, Bilderhandschriften sowie Körperbilder des 16. Jahrhunderts in Mexiko. Julia Kloss-Weber analysiert, inwiefern viele der im Rahmen der Neuspanien-Mission entstandenen Bilder Alterität, also Identität stiftende Andersartigkeit, thematisieren. Gleichzeitig fragt sie nach jener Form von Alterität, die Bildern als Spannungsfelder einer ,ikonischen Differenz' (Gottfried Boehm) zukommt. Dadurch werden zwei Diskursfelder zusammengeführt, die sich bisher weitgehend unabhängig voneinander entwickelt hatten: Reflexionen auf Konstruktionen des ,Anderen' im Rahmen der Postcolonial Studies und bildtheoretische Debatten. So wird deutlich, inwiefern Bilder nicht nur zwischen Kulturen vermitteln, sondern selbst Gegenstand transkultureller Übersetzungsprozesse sind.

La Inglaterra de principios de la Edad Moderna fue una época de grandes transformaciones que sacó a Inglaterra de la Edad Media y la introdujo en la era moderna, pero es probable que no conozca muchos detalles sobre este periodo.Por ejemplo, ¿sabía que Enrique VIII nunca llegó a divorciarse? ¿Sabía que los piratas, Shakespeare y los juicios por brujería existieron al mismo tiempo? ¿Sabías que Irlanda fue técnicamente la primera colonia inglesa y que Inglaterra decapitó a su propio rey?La primera época moderna de la historia de Inglaterra fue una época turbulenta. En el transcurso de los siglos XVI y XVII, Inglaterra tuvo que encontrar su equilibrio mientras sufría una transformación religiosa, cambios en el gobierno y el inicio de un imperio colonial. En este libro se describen los principales acontecimientos, los personajes más importantes y los datos más interesantes de esta época de la historia inglesa, incluyendo:Cómo llegaron los Tudor al poder.Por qué Enrique VIII tuvo tantas esposas.La estructura social de la Inglaterra moderna.Cómo la reina María se ganó el apodo de María la Sangrienta.Qué hizo gloriosa a la Revolución Gloriosa.Las razones de la colonización.Por qué un rey inglés fue ejecutado por traición.Por qué Irlanda e Inglaterra no se llevan bien.Qué crímenes fueron los más destacados.Con quién luchaba Inglaterra y por qué.¡Y mucho, mucho más!

Le service patrimoine et histoire locale de la médiathèque d'Arras est riche en documents anciens. La série FF116 à FF138 est formée de gros registres dans lesquels étaient inscrits, outre des arrêts et empêchements (police), appels (justice), ce qui fait l'objet de cette publication : les récréantages de bourgeoisie et les curatelles. Les bourgeoises et bourgeois relevaient le droit de bourgeoisie d'un conjoint ou parent pour conserver les privilèges afférents et l'exonération d'impôt sur les biens et les magistrats de la ville imposaient un curateur pour les successions vacantes suite au décès d'un bourgeois. On y trouvera donc de nombreuses informations pour compléter la généalogie des familles.

Die körperliche Reinigung stellt eine anthropologische Konstante dar. Das Bad dient hygienischen wie rituellen Zwecken und lässt sich im übertragenen Sinn auch auf das seelische Heil beziehen. Vor allem aber verweist es auf den pflegebedürftigen Körper, der zum Waschen entblößt werden muss. Aus Mythologie, Theologie und Medizin lässt sich das Thema nicht wegdenken. Entsprechend vielgestaltig fallen Darstellungen von badenden Menschen aus. Jan-David Mentzel stellt anhand ausgewählter Kunstwerke die reichhaltige Bildwelt rund um das Bad vor und spürt den vielfältigen kulturellen Verknüpfungen des Themas nach. Dabei zeigt er, auf welche Weise Künstler wie etwa Jan van Eyck oder Albrecht Dürer das Sujet in der Renaissance als Experimentierfeld nutzten, um neue Körperbilder zu erproben. Fundierter Überblick über die reichhaltige Bildwelt des Bades im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert Neue Bewertung von Badedarstellungen als künstlerisches Experimentierfeld Darstellung der wichtigsten Bade-Ikonographien in Malerei, Graphik und Buchkunst
