Strategies of the Silent in Medieval English Literature
Silence, like speech, is a mode of communication that can be used strategically. In Strategies of the Silent in Medieval English Literature, Edwin D. Craun investigates the silences in public life that punctuate talk in late Middle English literature.Centering his study on readings of canonical texts, including the works of Thomas Hoccleve, the anonymous Mum and the Sothsegger, William Langland's Piers Plowman, John Lydgate's translation of Guillaume de Deguileville's Pelerinage de vie humaine, The Testimony of William Thorpe, a selection of the York cycle of passion plays, and The Book of Margery Kempes, Craun recovers the widespread moral discourse on silence developed by late medieval secular and clerical writers, who compiled materials from Roman popular morality and Stoic texts as well as Jewish wisdom books and Christian texts. These texts model how silence could play a role in effective government, respond to violent and angry antagonists, or in some cases to entirely obviate a good outcome. Through this nuanced exploration of the ethics of communication in medieval moral, narrative, and dramatic literature, Craun shows us that public silences, then as now, have strategies and consequences, dimensions that medieval imaginative writers explore subtly yet analytically in order to provoke ethical reflection and pragmatic action. Strategies of the Silent in Medieval English Literature offers original thematical and rhetorical insights into the written history of silence. It will appeal to scholars, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates interested in Middle English literature, history, and political thought.
The Completion of the Philosophy of Human Affairs in Aristotle’s ＞Politics
This study addresses the often-discussed relationship between the two works that comprise Aristotle's philosophy of human affairs, the Nicomachean Ethics and the Politics. Their relationship has been described often by determining "politics" as the subject of both. By this view, for the Nicomachean Ethics a political dimension is claimed which it does not have. While in Nicomachean Ethics 1.1 a political knowledge which possesses absolute powers is introduced, it has no counterpart in the Politics and is an abomination by the general views of the Politics about the powers, that is people, that govern the polis. On the other hand, by the view that Aristotle織s practical philosophy was unified, the Politics is not recognized as a theoretical study in its own right, which is independent of anything discussed in the Nicomachean Ethics, and pursues its own objectives. This study will focus on the central subjects of the Politics, its theoretical concepts and their relationship to one another. It will emphasize the dominant theoretical approach of this work, which develops in a systematic manner the crucial political concepts of polis, community, constitution, and addresses the political aspirations of free citizens which must be met.

The Conference of Carthage in 411
On the heels of Alaric's sacking of the city of Rome in 410 CE, Honorius, the emperor of the Roman west, appointed Flavius Marcellinus to oversee and judge a debate between two sparring Christian groups in Africa: the Donatists and Catholics. The debate was held in the wealthy city of Carthage, close to what is now modern-day Tunis. At stake were the future of Christian orthodoxy and even the survival of the Roman west, as Honorius feared that if this century-old sectarian rift were not healed, grain-rich Africa might be vulnerable to rebellion and secession, thereby threatening Italy with starvation and the emperor with annihilation. The Donatists and Catholics debated for three days in June of 411 CE, and much of the actual transcript survives. This book is the first English translation of that famous but often misunderstood conference in Carthage, the city to which many Italians had fled to avoid Alaric's onslaught, where the Donatist and Catholic bishops hotly debated issues of legitimacy, law, purity, and procedure. Among those taking part in the debate were highly esteemed bishops who left their mark on western history including, most famously, St. Augustine.
Suetonius: The Fragments
The Roman writer Suetonius (second century CE) is best known for his Lives of the Caesars (De vita Caesarum) and Lives of famous men (De viris illustribus). It seems he also wrote about sixteen or seventeen other works, now lost to the manuscript tradition. There remain about sixty fragments attributed to Suetonius by various later writers, from Fronto to Gerald of Wales, which have until now been available only in Greek and Latin. The works seem to cover not just biography, but such diverse fields as the proper use of language, Roman culture and institutions, names for rivers and winds, animals, body parts, types of insults and types of garments.A treasure trove from the time of Hadrian, looking back on institutions that were already passing into history, these fragments are here collected in one volume with the first translation in any language, plus detailed notes by a team of scholars.Alongside the texts and translations, the attribution of each fragment with reference to the possible genre and background of the lost works is discussed, with an afterword by eminent Suetonian David Wardle. Literary scholars and ancient historians as well as students of social history will for the first time be able to easily access and study this unique collection.
Virginia Woolf
Ebook available to libraries exclusively as part of the JSTOR Path to Open initiative.Virginia Woolf: Profession and Performance explores the intersection of two fundamental interests of Virginia Woolf, offering to feminist modernist studies cutting-edge readings of primary works, comparative studies of Woolf and other modernist professionals-performers, and fresh accounts of Woolf's relationship to women's professional and public labor. The eleven chapters demonstrate the double valence of the volume's key words: "performance" conveys acts of staging as well as occupational work while "profession" encompasses careers and occupations as well as staged declarations. Moreover, "performance" evokes a sense of the "performative" speech acts, gestures, and other signifying behaviors that make something so, accomplishing and avowing lived realities as well as ethical values, socio-political positions, aesthetic preferences, and life-securing identities and hopes for the present and future. Beyond this semantic play, the stakes of the entanglement of profession and performance in Woolf's life and work are far-reaching. Centering a concern with modernist networks, this collection explores women's labor in literary and other aesthetic fields (e.g., publishing and photography), labor which professes new values and models new methods. Several chapters develop clarifying critiques of gender politics that reward the reproduction of professional status quos, highlighting subversive performances that threaten to unmoor, modify, or discard these politics.

Comic Fascism
Comics in Italy-produced by Fascists, conservatives, Catholics, and, after World War II, youth groups on the political left-promoted competing yet sometimes convergent visions for Italian society to children in the first half of the twentieth century. In Comic Fascism, Zane Elward dives deep into the archives to reveal how Italian comics reflected transformations within Italian society during Fascist rule (1922-45) and how conservative and Catholic circles were entangled with Mussolini's agenda, normalizing and promoting it through their own periodicals. At the same time, he offers new interpretations of American comics, demonstrating that despite Italian suspicion of US culture, these comics often aligned with Fascism and were co-opted by its proponents. Elward also identifies the persistence of Fascist political ideas after the fall of the Fascist state and highlights growing tensions between the right and the left in the lead-up to the Cold War. Ultimately, Elward broadens previous temporal and cultural frames to offer fresh insights into the origins and long tail of Fascist indoctrination and how it remained at the heart of the ongoing quest to redefine Italian society.

Specters of the Marvelous
A transformative lens revealing the historical racial context that profoundly influenced European fairy tales. In stories retold for generations, wondrous worlds and magnificent characters have defined the genre of European fairy tales with little recognition of yet another defining aspect--racism and racialized thinking. Engaging four classic fairy-tale collections, author Kimberly J. Lau connects close readings of the tales to the cultural discourses, scholarly debates, and imperial geopolitics that established and perpetuated ideas about racial difference and white superiority. Within the tales of Giambattista Basile, Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy, the Grimms, and Andrew and Nora Lang, Lau teases apart and historicizes the racialized themes and ideologies embedded within fairy tales spanning the early seventeenth to early twentieth centuries. She contends that the European fairy tale is definitively marked, whether implicitly or explicitly, by whiteness, and given the genre's documented colonization of diverse narrative traditions over time, this specter of race is all the more haunting. This trailblazing work demonstrates the continuous evolution of racialized thinking that has informed the publication and dissemination of fairy tales. Here, Lau provides a new framework for understanding European fairy tales in the milieux in which they were created, bringing distant and ethereal worlds back to earth.
Enlistment
Bestiaries. Lapidaries. Lunaries. Inventories and household vocabularies. Lists are everywhere in medieval and early modern texts--evidence of the need to manage and order knowledge and experience. Yet until now, listing as a formal practice has received scant scholarly attention. In Enlistment, foremost medievalists and early modernists from both the Anglo-American and German traditions investigate the humble list as a platform for better understanding how and why lists captivated period audiences. From epic catalogues of trees in Geoffrey Chaucer and Edmund Spenser to genealogies and the names of the divine, the lists in question come from a variety of periods, languages, and genres. Throughout, contributors demonstrate how lists have the curious capacity to challenge our categories of thinking and ordering of the world. The lists we encounter in medieval and early modern literature can thus be seen as seismographs of cultural knowledge and also as testing grounds for defining the ineffable, or unfathomable, or that which would be dangerous if otherwise expressed.

Dispelling Fantasies
In Dispelling Fantasies, Joy Sanchez-Taylor examines how authors of color, such as R. F. Kuang, N. K. Jemisin, Nnedi Okorafor, Tomi Adeyemi, Tasha Suri, Aiden Thomas, Nghi Vo, and Marlon James, among others, offer critical counterpoints to the history of white-dominated, Eurocentric fantasy. The traditional fantasy that these authors are writing against reinforces Christian virtues and colonial, white supremacist structures; Sanchez-Taylor argues that its racial tropes are tied to a history of colonization and Christian missionary practices, with popular fantasy narratives often depicting Indigenous groups as primitive, deviant peoples in need of salvation. Such representations are based on a Western binary of rational versus magical and are influenced by tenets of Christianity, ultimately contributing to depictions of "the dark fantastic" or fantasy worlds where dark and othered characters are implicitly portrayed as evil and irredeemable. Organized around four Christian ideals that appear frequently in Western fantasy texts--virtue, envy, patriarchy, and salvation--Dispelling Fantasies demonstrates how non-Eurocentric fantasy worlds offer alternative versions of morality, race, gender, and sexuality and make space for authors to move away from hierarchical, binary systems of good and evil.

Postmodernism in Arthur Miller's Long-Late Period
Having made his reputation in the 1940s and '50s, Arthur Miller continued to write into the twenty-first century, producing his final play in 2004, the year before his death. With little critical, academic, or theatrical attention being paid to his plays after 1968's The Price, he had one of the longest "late" periods in literary history. This book brings new attention to Miller's writing from this period, analysing 5 plays--The Archbishop's Ceiling, Some Kind of Love Story, Clara and The Ride Down Mt. Morgan, Resurrection Blues--and a host of essays to highlight the influence of postmodernism on his work. Using relevant novels and films, these plays are situated within the context of their cultural moments to show that Miller remained an engaged, aware, and contemporary writer until his death.
