Identity and the Forms of Capital in Early Modern Spanish Picaresque Narrative and Courtesy Literature
In this book on the relationship between pícaro and cortesano, Felipe E. Ruan argues that these two cultural figures are linked by a shared form of deportment centered on prudent self-accommodation. This behavior is generated and governed by a courtly ethos or habitus that emerges as the result of the growth and influence of the court in Madrid. Ruan posits that both pícaro and cortesano, and their respective books, conduct manual and picaresque narrative, tacitly engage questions of identity and individualism by highlighting the valued resources or forms of capital that come to fashion and sustain self-identity. He places the books of the pícaro and cortesano within the larger polemic of early modern identity and individualism, and offers an account of the individual as agent whose actions are grounded on objective social relations, without those actions being simply the result of mechanistic adherence to the social order.

In De veren van de zwaan bracht Frans Kellendonk zijn verspreid verschenen artikelen en voordrachten bijeen, alsmede enkele nawoorden bij door hemzelf of anderen vervaardigde literaire vertalingen. De auteurs tot wie Kellendonk zich als essayist wenste te verhouden (zoals Shakespeare, Pound en Bordewijk) selecteerde hij niet uit literair-historische motieven, maar op grond van zijn affiniteit tot hun werk, zoals hij die als schrijver van romans en verhalen ervoer. Dat eigenzinnige en strikt literaire perspectief verleent deze stukken een bijzondere intensiteit en maakt ze tot onmisbare lectuur naast de literaire fictie waarmee Kellendonk zich een blijvende reputatie vestigde.

Psychotherapeuten zien zich gesteld voor een toenemende vraag naar kortere behandelingen van een bredere doelgroep, terwijl ze toch hun kwaliteit willen handhaven. Kortdurende groepspsychotherapie kan voor hen een antwoord zijn. Deze betrekkelijk nieuwe therapievorm biedt hun een prettige en energieke werkwijze die tegemoetkomt aan de huidige wens van veel cliënten om niet te lang in therapie te zijn en waarbij toch belangrijke resultaten kunnen worden bereikt.Kort en goed genoeg beschrijft deze nog jonge vorm van psychodynamische groepspsychotherapie, die effectieve elementen uit de groepspsychotherapie combineert met krachtige interventies uit McCullough’s focale kortdurende individuele psychotherapie. Het boek behandelt de kernbegrippen ‘focus’ en ‘limitering in tijd’ alsmede de specifieke rol van de therapeut en geeft aanwijzingen over hoe therapeuten deze concepten doeltreffend kunnen hanteren. De schrijfster maakt duidelijk voor wie psychodynamische groepspsychotherapie effectief kan zijn en illustreert dit met vele praktijkvoorbeelden.Kort en goed genoeg geeft handvatten aan psychotherapeuten, inspireert hen en verruimt hun moge–lijkheden om met kortetermijngroepen te werken. De combinatie van theorie en praktijk stelt hen in staat zelf vorm te geven aan kortetermijngroepen in de eigen werksetting. Dit boek kan voorts een bron van informatie en inspiratie zijn voor wie als opleider of coach met groepen werkt. De gepresenteerde benadering is weten–schappelijk gefundeerd, gebaseerd op literatuuronderzoek en op de uitgebreide praktijkervaring van de auteur.

Praise for the Book:
Beautifully written! The author has succeeded in relaying technical theatre information without being too technical and putting the reader to sleep. I read three sentences and instantly knew this book was for me and the way I teach. When I think back on the insufferable intro to tech theatre books I had to read, I feel cheated I didn’t have this one as a student. I will be using this text in my class! — Rob Napoli, Designer and Technical Director at Penn State University, Berks Campus
This text has temped me to return to teaching with a textbook for the first time in seven years. The language is both accessible and informal yet the text goes a long way in debunking some of the typical jargon that may alienate students just getting into the field, or trying it out for the first time. The illustrations (the text is full of them) coupled with the stories reinforce the fundamental information being conveyed. — John Paul Devlin, Associate Professor of Theatre at Saint Michael’s College
What a great idea! Thank heavens someone is doing this for students at that impressionable age. That has been one of my mantras – education of teachers and students on the use of scenic materials. The teachers don’t have enough time in college to learn and do everything they have to teach. Most get thrown into the theatre area by default and struggle with designing/building/painting the scenery. — Jenny Knott, Rosco
Stagecraft Fundamentals is beautifully illustrated throughout, and the pofusion of color on every page gives this textbook the appearance of a coffee table book. The writing is clear and personal, which should be very appealing to students. Rita Carver covers all aspects of theatre production from scenery, to lighting, to an actor’s makeup. Her close ties to the New York theatre scene gives this book a special insight into the professional world, one that goes well beyond what is found in most college textbooks. — John Holloway, Professor in the Theatre Department at the University of Kentucky and President of the International Association of Theatrical stage Employees (IATSE) Local 346.
I can’t thank you enough for Stagecraft Fundamentals. I have been teaching stagecraft since 1976 and you have saved me from the nightmare of writing a text to suit my class needs..After two semesters with your text, I have found that I had more time to develop the skills necessary within the classroom than before. The humor that you have infused in the book has enticed my students to read on. That alone makes this text invaluable.
–Meta Lasch, Assistant Professor, West Liberty University

What does literature know? Does it offer us knowledge of its own or does it only interrupt and question other forms of knowledge? This 2005 book seeks to answer and to prolong these questions through the close examination of individual works and the exploration of a broad array of examples. Chapters on Henry James, Kafka, and the form of the villanelle are interspersed with wider-ranging inquiries into forms of irony, indirection and the uses of fiction, with examples ranging from Auden to Proust and Rilke, and from Calvino to Jean Rhys and Yeats. Literature is a form of pretence. But every pretence could tilt us into the real, and many of them do. There is no safe place for the reader: no literalist’s haven where fact is always fact; and no paradise of metaphor, where our poems, plays and novels have no truck at all with the harsh and shifting world.

If ever there was a year of destiny for the British Isles, 066 must have a strong claim. King Harold faced invasion not just from William and the Normans across the English Channel but from the Dane, King Harald Hadrada. Before he faced the Normans at Hastings in October he had fought and defeated the Danes at York and neighboring Stamford Bridge in September. What dramatic changes of fortune, heroic marches, assaults by land and sea took place that year! This book explains what really happened and why in what is arguably the 'best-known' but worst understood battle in British history.

Madresfield Court is an arrestingly romantic stately home in the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire. It has been continuously owned and lived in by the same family, the Lygons, back to the time of the Domesday Book, and, unusually, remains in the family’s hands to this day. Inside, it is a very private, unmistakably English, manor house; a lived-in family home where the bejewelled sits next to the threadbare. The house and the family were the real inspiration for Brideshead Revisited: Evelyn Waugh was a regular visitor, and based his story of the doomed Marchmain family on the Lygons.
Never before open to the public, the doors of Madresfield have now swung open to allow Jane Mulvagh to explore its treasures and secrets. And so the rich, dramatic history of one landed family unfolds in parallel with the history of England itself over a millennium, from the Lygon who conspired to overthrow Queen Mary in the Dudley plot; through the tale of the disputed legacy that inspired Dickens’ Bleak House; to the secret love behind Elgar’s Enigma Variations; and the story of the scandal of Lord Beauchamp, the disgraced 7th Earl.
