Maney Publishing The Wallenstein Figure in German Literature and Historiography 1790–1920 by Steffan Davies Albrecht von Wallenstein (1583–1634), one of the most famous and controversial personalities of the Thirty Years War, gained heightened prominence in the nineteenth century through Schiller’s monumental drama, Wallenstein (1798–99). Schiller’s own fame, and the complexities he injected into his dramatic character, made Wallenstein a potent, near-mythical, but also highly ambivalent figure. This innovative and detailed study tests Schiller’s impact on historians as well as on later literary texts. It traces Wallenstein’s part in the construction of identity in Germany, Austria and Bohemia, examining the figure’s significance in events such as the Wars of Liberation against France, the 1859 Schiller festival, and the First World War. The broad range of authors and historians studied includes Franz Grillparzer, Leopold von Ranke, Ricarda Huch and Alfred Döblin. 200p, hardback, 9781906540289, $82.00, Maney Publishing, December 2009, MHRA Texts and Dissertations 76, Bithell Series 36. The Power of Disturbance Elsa Morante’s Aracoeli edited by Sara Fortuna and Manuele Gragnolati Aracoeli (1982) was the last novel written by Elsa Morante (1912– 85), one of the most significant Italian writers of the twentieth century. The journey, both geographical and memorial, of a homosexual son in search of his dead mother is a first-person narrative that has puzzled many critics for its darkness and despair. By combining scholars from different disciplines and cultural traditions, this volume reevaluates the esthetical and theoretical complexity of Morante’s novel and argues that it engages with crucial philosophical and epistemological questions in an original and profound way. Contributors explore the manifold tensions staged by the novel in connection with contemporary philosophical discourse (from feminist/ queer to political theory to psychoanalysis) and authors (such as Emilio Gadda, Pier Paolo Pasolini and Pedro Almodovar). The Power of Disturbance shows that by creating a ‘hallucinatory’ representation of the relationship between mother and child, Aracoeli questions the classical distinction between subject and object, and proposes an altogether new and subversive kind of writing. 200p, hardback, 9781906540500, $89.50, Maney Publishing, July 2009, Legenda Main Series. Hamann’s Prophetic Mission A Genetic Study of Three Late Works against the Englightenment by Timothy Beech literary studies The Spirit of England Selected Essays of Stephen Medcalf edited by Brian Cummings and Gabriel Josipovici Stephen Medcalf (1937–2006) was an essayist, in the best traditional sense of that calling: a writer not of books but of substantial and justly celebrated essays, widely read in the Times Literary Supplement and elsewhere. Medcalf’s abiding question to the world was the Psalmist’s: ‘What is man that thou art mindful of him?’ His was a Blakean sense of Englishness, far from the chocolate-box painting or the television adaptation, and for him the strongest writers were those keenly aware of their roots in the classical, Anglo-Saxon or Celtic past. By gathering together Medcalf’s most important work, this volume shows the coherence of his thinking, and of the elusive, complicated literary heritage he celebrated, one which acknowledges the Greco-Roman strain, the Christian strain, down-to-earth humor and sly irony. 200p, hardback, 9781906540371, $89.50, Maney Publishing, October 2009, Legenda Main Series. Johann Georg Hamann (1730–88) was one of the most radical and sophisticated critics of the German Enlightenment. The three late works Konxompax, Metakritik über den Purismum der Vernunft and Golgatha und Scheblimini!, written between 1779 and 1784, are polemics against iconic texts by the Enlightenment luminaries Lessing, Kant and Mendelssohn. This diverse and rich material, ranging from the Fragmentenstreit to Kant’s first Critique, is refracted through Hamann’s radical Lutheranism, with freemasonry and the pagan mystery religions adding lurid apocalyptic highlights. Hamann’s idiosyncratic style and heavily intertextual manner of composition give his works a fascinating and teasing complexity and put his writing at odds with the period’s preferred ideals of ease and elegance. For these reasons, he is a standing provocation to our assumptions about the 18th century. 200p, hardback, 9781906540227, $82.00, Maney Publishing, September 2009, MHRA Texts and Dissertations 74, Bithell Series 34. www.dbbconline.com 79
