Words that Tear the Flesh
The rhetorical trope of irony is well-trod territory, with books and essays devoted to its use by a wide range of medieval and Renaissance writers, from the Beowulf-poet and Chaucer to Boccaccio and Shakespeare; however, the use of sarcasm, the "flesh tearing" form of irony, in the same literature has seldom been studied at length or in depth. Sarcasm is notoriously difficult to pick out in a written text, since it relies so much on tone of voice and context. This is the first book-length study of medieval and Renaissance sarcasm. Its fourteen essays treat instances in a range of genres, both sacred and secular, and of cultures from Anglo-Saxon to Arabic, where the combination of circumstanc...
The Last Viking
'The Last Viking is a masterful and pulse-pounding narrative that transports the reader into the middle of the action.' Carl Gnam, Military Heritage Harald Sigurdsson burst into history as a teenaged youth in a Viking battle from which he escaped with little more than his life and a thirst for vengeance. But from these humble origins, he became one of Norway's most legendary kings. The Last Viking is a fast-moving narrative account of the life of King Harald Hardrada, as he journeyed across the medieval world, from the frozen wastelands of the North to the glittering towers of Byzantium and the passions of the Holy Land, until his warrior death on the battlefield in England. Combining Norse sagas, Byzantine accounts, Anglo-Saxon chronicles, and even King Harald's own verse and prose into a single, compelling story, Don Hollway vividly depicts the violence and spectacle of the late Viking era and delves into the dramatic events that brought an end to almost three centuries of Norse conquest and expansion.

Körper-Kränkungen
Obwohl sich die natürliche Identität des menschlichen Körpers angesichts der Möglichkeiten technischer oder diskursiver Überformung zunehmend als Illusion erweist, bleibt er doch weiterhin Bezugspunkt und Ausdruck von Identitätsvorstellungen. Dabei kann der eigene Körper mit Gesten schmähend aktiv werden oder kann über vorgegebene Normen, denen er angeblich nicht entspricht, Erniedrigung erleiden. Ausgehend von solchen Überlegungen lotet dieser Band das invektive Potential des menschlichen Körpers aus historischer, gegenwartsbezogener und systematisch-konzeptueller Perspektive aus. Die Beiträge diskutieren Aspekte von Affizierbarkeit, Devianz und Geschlecht sowie Körpermetaphern, den pathologisierten Körper oder den Körper der Mächtigen. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0
The Collected Works of W.B. Yeats Volume XIII: A Vision
The Collected Works of W. B. Yeats, Volume XIII: A Vision is part of a fourteen-volume series under the general editorship of eminent Yeats scholar George Bornstein and formerly the late Richard J. Finneran and George Mills Harper. One of the strangest works of literary modernism, A Vision is Yeats's greatest occult work. Edited by Yeats scholars Catherine E. Paul and Margaret Mills Harper, the volume presents the "system" of philosophy, psychology, history, and the life of the soul that Yeats and his wife George (née Hyde Lees) received and created by means of mediumistic experiments from 1917 through the early 1920s. Yeats obsessively revised the book, and the revised 1937 version is much...
