Описание: This book is a study of the thematic, narrative, and musical structure of Yuanqu xuan [A Selection of Yuan Plays] edition of the Yuan zaju (variety play) Dou E yuan [Injustice to Dou E] originally composed by the highly regarded playwright Guan Hanqing (fl. 1260). Although other authors have studied these three aspects of Dou E yuan separately, this is the first comprehensive treatment of the topic as a scholarly monograph in English. Yumin Ao’s analysis is based on the edition of the play in the Yuanqu xuan [A Selection of Yuan Plays] compiled by the Ming publisher Zang Maoxun (ca. 1550–1620). Ao proposes that Dou E yuan, as a dramatic narrative which develops through its enactment on the stage rather than by verbal presentation as a story, displays its integrative structure of narration through its thematic development and within its musical conventions.
Описание: Crime fiction was a creation of the modern world and its suddenly growing cities, when in both reality and fiction specialists emerged to identify criminals and protect the anxious, isolated citizens. At first they tended to be lawyers, but then detectives, both amateurs and police, came to play a central role.The development of crime fiction has its own mysteries. The book explores theme-focused aspects of its complex history through the nineteenth century. The first two chapters show how America and France generated new forms of crime fiction, often influencing each other. The next chapter reveals social variations among the early investigators, and then gender is the focus for a discussion of the roles played by women as authors, and even detectives.Chapter 5 studies how major English writers like Gaskell, Dickens, Collins and Braddon were influenced by and contributed to crime fiction. The book concludes by analyzing how and why Hume's The Mystery of a Hansom Cab became a best-seller in 1887-8; finally it exposes the imperial features, some of them already post-colonial, which helped to make the Sherlock Holmes stories seem dynamically up-to-date.

Описание: Through a careful rendering of the text, deciphering its hidden ironies, Mr. Weinberg sees Promethee as a modern allegory, a parable wrought of allusions, symbols, and images drawn from classical antiquity and calvinist theology, and a multi-leveled sotie a miroirs.

Описание: Drawing on varied Francophone texts, the scholars brought together in this volume offer a compelling study, which puts the body and its relationship to its ecologies at the forefront.
