How can the unimaginable be represented? On what materials do such representations rely? These questions lie at the heart of this book. Copernican theory redefined the role and importance of the imagination even as it implied the moment of its crisis. Based on this claim, Ladina Bezzola Lambert analyzes seventeenth-century astronomical texts - particularly descriptions ...             Probleme Der Megalithgraberforschung: Vortrage Zum 100 Geburtstag Von Vera Leisner (Madrider Forschungen) Vera Leisner Festschrift Walter De Gruyter Inc, 1990             Gendered reistance: The autobiographies of Simone de Beauvoir, Maya Angelou, Janet Frame and Marguerite Duras ... Valerie Baisnee Rodopi, 1997 Four major women's autobiographies of the twentieth century are discussed together here for the first time. ValÉrie BaisnÉe reinterprets the autobiographical writing of Simone De Beauvoir, Maya Angelou, Janet Frame and Marguerite Duras, finding some striking similarities in these women's resistance to a conservative order. Deploying a variety of theoretical approaches, from linguistic to Marxist, BaisnÉe endeavours to break the restrictive ...             Remapping Reality: Chaos and Creativity in Science and Literature (Goethe - Nietzsche - Grass) ... John A. McCarthy Rodopi, 2006 This book is about intersections among science, philosophy, and literature. It bridges the gap between the traditional "cultures" of science and the humanities by constituting an area of interaction that some have called a "third culture." By asking questions about three disciplines rather than about just two, as is customary in research, this inquiry breaks new ground and resists easy categorization. It seeks to answer the following questions: ...             Discovering Patterns in Mathematics and Poetry. (Internationale Forschungen Zur Allgemeinen Und ...2 reviews Marcia Birken, Anne C. Coon Rodopi, 2008 Great Read for the Lay Reader As neither a mathematician nor a poet, I found "Discovering Patterns in Mathematics and Poetry" by Marcia Birken and Anne Coon a joyfully read. The authors descriptively and graphically depict two subjects I have only a sophomoric knowledge about. The exquisite photographs enhance the text, giving a clear meaning to the subjects. The book is easy to read for the reader not versed in these ...             Text History of the Greek Deuteronomy (Forschungen Zur Kirchen- Und Dogmengeschichte) John William Wevers Vandehoeck & Ruprecht, 1978             Tropes for the Past: Hayden White and the History / Literature Debate (Internationale Forschungen zur ... Rodopi, 2006 In the last decades, there has been an intense debate on the relationship between literature and historiography, often linked to the debate between "empiricists" and "postmodernists". The aim of this collective work is to address this debate, and to search for new ways of thinking and encountering the past. The key note for the book comes from Hayden White, one of the leading academic figures, whose role in launching the contemporary ...             The Fatal Gift of Beauty: The Italies of British Travellers.

Editions Rodopi, 1996 This is the first anthology of British travel writing on Italy which traces the development of the genre and the history of the British perception of Italy from the Renaissance to the present.

Rodopi, 2003 The essays assembled in this volume grew out of a conference held at Cornell University in November 2001. The goal of the conference was to examine the claim that the city-state of Hamburg had a unique status in the cultural landscape of eighteenth and nineteenth-century Germany, a status based upon the city's republican political constitution. Hamburg's independence and its tolerant and cosmopolitan political traditions made it a focal point ...             Keltische Forschungen 1 David Stifter Praesens, 2007             Syntaktische Forschungen: IV.

S.             Theory into Poetry: New Approaches to the Lyric (Internationale Forschungen zur Allgemeinen und ... Rodopi, 2005 At the beginning of the 21st century, there is still no generally accepted comprehensive definition of the lyric or differentiated modern toolkit for its analysis. The reception of poetry is largely characterised either by an empathetic identification of critics with the lyric persona or by exclusive interest in formal patterning. The present volume seeks to remedy this deficit. All the contributors ‘theorise’ the lyric to overcome the ...             Syntaktische Forschungen: II. Altindische Tempuslehre von B.

Editions Rodopi BV, 2006 When Richard Steele remarked that "the greatest Evils in human Society are such as no Law can come at", he was not able to forsee the spectacular success of John Gay's satire of society, the administration of law and crime, politics, the Italian opera and other topics. Gay's 'The Beggar's Opera', with its mixture of witty dialogue and popular songs, was imitated by 18th century writers, criticized by those on the seats of power, but remained a ...             Deuteronomy & the Meaning of 'Monotheism (Forschungen Zum Alten Testament 2, 1) Nathan Macdonald Paul Mohr Verlag, 2003 Nathan MacDonald examines the meaning and significance of "monotheism" in ancient Israel, through an analysis of specific texts in Deuteronomy.
