The Temptation Of St. Antony. Over Strand And Field
The Temptation of Saint Anthony by Gustave Flaubert is a philosophical and theatrical work that delves into the inner struggles of Saint Anthony the Great. This edition also includes the short story "Over Strand and Field" by Guy de Maupassant. Flaubert's masterpiece explores themes of temptation, faith, and the nature of reality through a series of vivid visions and encounters experienced by Saint Anthony in the Egyptian desert. The saint confronts a succession of heretical figures, gods, and mythical creatures, each challenging his beliefs and pushing him to the brink of spiritual collapse. Maupassant's "Over Strand and Field" offers a contrasting but equally compelling narrative, showcasing his skill in portraying human emotions and experiences within a naturalistic setting.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Afrika and Alemania
Afrika and Alemania explores the representation of Blackness in German-speaking literary, autobiographical, and cinematic texts across two centuries. By examining how different groups of women with access to German culture have depicted Africa, Africans, and the African diaspora, the book challenges the assumption that all women will tell the same story. Focusing on Black women, non-Black women of colour, and white women, it investigates how these diverse voices engage with and represent Blackness within a society shaped by racial hierarchies. Part I analyses how Black, German-speaking women actively reshape and redefine Blackness in response to stereotypes upheld by white German society. Part II explores how non-Black women of colour navigate the complexities of othering while sometimes reproducing anti-Black stereotypes, while Part III discusses how white women's projections of fantasies about Africa often erase Black voices and render them invisible. Offering a nuanced analysis of the intersections of race, gender, ethnicity, and nationality, Afrika and Alemania provides a vital framework for understanding Blackness within contemporary scholarship and its broader social and cultural implications.
The Prose Works of Dante Alighieri
Collected for the first time in English, the complete prose works of Dante Alighieri.Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is known the world over for the Divine Comedy, arguably the greatest poem ever written. But that was not all he wrote. Several other prose texts round out the great poet's ouevre. In these two volumes we have the rest of what Dante wrote. Volume I: The Italian Works (this book): The Vita nuova and The ConvivioVolume II: The Latin Works (sold separately): De vulgari eloquentia, De monarchia, Epistolae, and Questio de aqua et terra.About this CollectionThese two volumes bring together for the first time in English the "other" works of Dante. Most readers of Dante are only acquainted with the Divine Comedy, and understandably so. Whereas Vita nuova combines poetry and prose to praise the loveliness of Beatrice, the Convivio does the same in praise of Philosophy. Had it been completed (it was abandoned just before Dante began the Comedy), the Convivio would have been a major achievement. The first philosophical treatise in the Italian language (and almost in any vernacular outside of Latin!), the Convivio brings together Dante's intense love of reason and theology, poetry and philosophy, cosmology and ethics. Even in its unfinished state, it remains a fascinating testimony to the mind behind the Comedy. These two works, both originally written in Italian, comprise Volume I.Volume II: The Latin Works include De vulgari eloquentia (On the Eloquence of the Vernacular), De monarchia (On the Monarchy), Dante's thirteen surviving epistles, and the manuscript of a scientific lecture on Aristotelean geography, titled Questio de aqua et terra. Book 1 of the De vulgari eloquentia defends the use of the vernacular languages (mainly French, Spanish, and Italian) to discuss the noble themes of love and war, while Book 2 leaves us with an unfinished lecture on poetry, its forms, styles, and its unique power to communicate. De monarcha is a political treatise in which he argues for world empire as the best (and most Christian!) form of government. Arguing indirectly against the papal bull Unam Sanctam, Dante clearly articulates and distinguishes the twin authorities of the emperor and the pope. Contrary to prevailing Catholic thought at the time, he argued that the political leader received his authority directly from Christ, not mediated through the pope. Finally, as noted above, the Questio de aqua et terradives into medieval cosmological issues. Though his natural science is obsolete, his tight reasoning presents a sharp mind, attuned to the nuances of scientific and philosophical arguments. Compiled here together for the first time are the excellent translations of Charles Eliot Norton (Vita nuova), Philip H. Wicksteed (Convivio, De vulgari eloquentia, and Questio), Aurelia Henry Reinhardt (De monarchia), and Paget Toynbee (Epistolae), lightly edited for a modern audience, and organized to conform to modern reference systems. In addition to original introductions to each of the works, these volumes include a bevy of new notes and explanations from Dante scholar and translator, Joe Carlson, in which he identifies the numerous intertextual allusions to the Comedy contained within these works.

Anthology of New Woman Poetry
An anthology that explores the poetry of iconoclastic New Women from the late Victorian era Women poets of the late Victorian period created much fascinating verse from the standpoint of the independent and advanced New Woman, a profoundly important figure with her iconoclastic perceptions of public and private matters. The New Woman sought to improve women's lives on a variety of fronts, bringing this individual both approbation and disdain. This anthology features a broad range of crucial subjects addressed by these poets, including marriage, motherhood, female desire, and social problems. Although the iconoclastic New Women have garnered much interest in recent decades, relatively little attention has been devoted to the valuable poetry these authors produced. Many of the New Woman poets are barely known today, if at all, but their writings offer an exceptional lens onto contemporary conditions that provide inestimable value for Victorian studies. Although much of the work has languished in obscurity, this expansive anthology brings the fascinating poetry to the fore. This volume provides an invaluable aid by uncovering poetry that has been long neglected or infrequently explored. Several of the poets developed extensive oeuvres investigating matters of special interest at the fin de si癡cle. It is not an easy task in the twenty-first century to identify, obtain, and review the nineteenth-century books containing these poems. This anthology provides a ready resource to access the poetry, which has had limited exposure in other modern collections.
