  • Witnessnessby Robert Harvey

    Continuum International Publishing 2010; US$ 90.00

    Witnessness posits a universal ethics based neither on rational mental structures nor on moral principles, but on the extra-rational powers of the imagination.  Harvey pursues this ethics by staging a speculative reading of Samuel Beckett’s ‘untranslatable’ text, Worstward Ho , alongside Dante’s Purgatorio and Primo Levi’s... more...

    Palgrave Macmillan 2001; US$ 159.00

    During the nineteen years of her play-writing career, Aphra Behn had far more new plays staged than anyone else. This book is the first to examine all her theatrical work.

  • W.H. Audenby Rainer Emig

    Palgrave Macmillan 1999; US$ 145.00

    This study reads Auden's poetry and plays through the shifts from modernism to postmodernism.

It shows that rather than providing firm... more...

    Oldcastle Books 2008; US$ 13.99

    University of Iowa Press 1998; US$ 29.95

    The rise of fascism in Europe created a body of works by authors for whom the choice of exile became the defining event in their lives, autobiographers who recounted terrifying stories of incarceration, fight, survival, and integration into a new culture. In The Face of Exile, Judith Melton offers a powerful and empathetic analysis of the autobiographies... more...

  • Living Justiceby Jessica Blank; Erik Jensen

    Atria Books 2005; Not Available

    A love story. An artistic journey. A matter of life and death... In 2000, Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen embarked on a tour across America -- one that would give them a glimpse of the darker side of the justice system and, at the same time, reveal to them just how resilient the human spirit can be. They were a pair of young actors from... more...
