Book Synopsis Bram Stoker's Notes for Dracula by : Bram Stoker
Download or read book Bram Stoker's Notes for Dracula written by Bram Stoker and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bram Stoker's initial notes and outlines for his landmark horror novel Dracula were auctioned at Sotheby's in London in 1913 and eventually made their way to the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia, where they are housed today. Until now, few of the 124 pages have been transcribed or analyzed. This painstaking work reproduces the handwritten notes both in facsimile and in annotated transcription. It also includes Stoker's typewritten research notes and thoroughly analyzes all of the materials, which range from Stoker's thoughts on the novel's characters and settings to a nine-page calendar of events that includes most of the now-familiar story. Ample annotations guide readers through the construction of the novel and the changes that were made to its structure, plot, setting and characters. Nine appendices provide insight into Stoker's personal life, his other works and his early literary influences.
Book Synopsis Trickster Travels by : Natalie Zemon Davis
Download or read book Trickster Travels written by Natalie Zemon Davis and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2007-03-06 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engrossing study of Leo Africanus and his famous book, which introduced Africa to European readers Al-Hasan al-Wazzan--born in Granada to a Muslim family that in 1492 went to Morocco, where he traveled extensively on behalf of the sultan of Fez--is known to historians as Leo Africanus, author of the first geography of Africa to be published in Europe (in 1550). He had been captured by Christian pirates in the Mediterranean and imprisoned by the pope, then released, baptized, and allowed a European life of scholarship as the Christian writer Giovanni Leone. In this fascinating new book, the distinguished historian Natalie Zemon Davis offers a virtuoso study of the fragmentary, partial, and often contradictory traces that al-Hasan al-Wazzan left behind him, and a superb interpretation of his extraordinary life and work. In Trickster Travels, Davis describes all the sectors of her hero's life in rich detail, scrutinizing the evidence of al-Hasan's movement between cultural worlds; the Islamic and Arab traditions, genres, and ideas available to him; and his adventures with Christians and Jews in a European community of learned men and powerful church leaders. In depicting the life of this adventurous border-crosser, Davis suggests the many ways cultural barriers are negotiated and diverging traditions are fused.

Book Synopsis Around Abhinavagupta by : Eli Franco
Download or read book Around Abhinavagupta written by Eli Franco and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2016 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abhinavagupta is undoubtedly the most famous Kashmirian medieval intellectual: his decisive contributions to Indian aesthetics, Saiva theology, and metaphysics, and to the philosophy of the subtle and original Pratyabhijna system, are well known. Yet so far his works have often been studied without fully taking into account the specific historical, social, artistic, religious, and philosophical context in which they are embedded. The purpose of this book is to show that this intellectual background is no less exceptional than Abhinavagupta himself. (Series: Leipzig Studies on the Culture and History of South and Central Asia / Leipziger Studien zu Kultur und Geschichte Sud- und Zentralasiens, Vol. 6) [Subject: History, Abhinavagupta, India Studies, Religious Studies]

Book Synopsis Self, No-self, and Salvation by : Vincent Eltschinger
Download or read book Self, No-self, and Salvation written by Vincent Eltschinger and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schon sehr fruh haben die buddhistischen Denker die Idee eines Selbstes, das uber den korperlichen und emotional-geistigen Konstituenten existiert, zu einem ihrer wichtigsten Angriffsziele gemacht. Ihre Kritik gipfelt zunachst in Vasubandhus Abhandlung gegen die buddhistischen Personalisten (fruhes 5. Jh. u. Z.). Santarak'ita und Kamalasila, Philosophen des 8. Jahrhunderts, stellen einen weiteren Meilenstein in der Geschichte der Kritik an einem Selbst und einer Person dar: Ihre Tattvasa'graha(panjika) enthalt die gelehrteste und umfangreichste Darstellung des Themas (wenigstens vor den Nairatmyasiddhi-Monographien von Kar'akagomin und Sa'karanandana). Was aber haben Dignaga und Dharmakirti (6. Jh. u. Z.') zu dieser hitzigen Debatte beigetragen? Die vorgelegte Studie versucht diese Frage wenigstens teilweise zu beantworten und bietet eine Darlegung von Dharmakirtis Stellungnahme zu einem Selbst. Die Einleitung stellt seine Ansicht von einem Selbst als dem Kern des Nichtwissens dar. Kapitel 1 widmet sich Dharmakirtis Kritik der beiden wesentlichen Auspragungen des buddhistischen Substantialismus, der Lehre von einer Buddha-Natur und der Lehre von einer Person (pudgalavada). Kapitel 2 stellt seine Methode der Entkraftigung der nicht-buddhistischen Argumente fur ein Selbst dar. Kapitel 3 bietet zum Abschluss eine eingehende Darstellung von Dharmakirtis wichtigstem eigenem Beitrag zum Thema, seinem Nachweis, dass (der Glaube an) die Existenz eines Selbstes eine Erlosung unmoglich macht.
Book Synopsis Shakespeare's Language in Digital Media by : Janelle Jenstad
Download or read book Shakespeare's Language in Digital Media written by Janelle Jenstad and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-04 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of this book ask how digital research tools are changing the ways in which practicing editors historicize Shakespeare's language. Scholars now encounter, interpret, and disseminate Shakespeare's language through an increasing variety of digital resources, including online editions such as the Internet Shakespeare Editions (ISE), searchable lexical corpora such as the Early English Books Online-Text Creation Partnership (EEBO-TCP) or the Lexicons of Early Modern English (LEME) collections, high-quality digital facsimiles such as the Folger Shakespeare Library's Digital Image Collection, text visualization tools such as Voyant, apps for reading and editing on mobile devices, and more. What new insights do these tools offer about the ways Shakespeare's words made meaning in their own time? What kinds of historical or historicizing arguments can digital editions make about Shakespeare's language? A growing body of work in the digital humanities allows textual critics to explore new approaches to editing in digital environments, and enables language historians to ask and answer new questions about Shakespeare's words. The authors in this unique book explicitly bring together the two fields of textual criticism and language history in an exploration of the ways in which new tools are expanding our understanding of Early Modern English.

Book Synopsis Between Copernicus and Galileo by : James M. Lattis
Download or read book Between Copernicus and Galileo written by James M. Lattis and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between Copernicus and Galileo is the story of Christoph Clavius, the Jesuit astronomer and teacher whose work helped set the standards by which Galileo's famous claims appeared so radical, and whose teachings guided the intellectual and scientific agenda of the Church in the central years of the Scientific Revolution. Though relatively unknown today, Clavius was enormously influential throughout Europe in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries through his astronomy books—the standard texts used in many colleges and universities, and the tools with which Descartes, Gassendi, and Mersenne, among many others, learned their astronomy. James Lattis uses Clavius's own publications as well as archival materials to trace the central role Clavius played in integrating traditional Ptolemaic astronomy and Aristotelian natural philosophy into an orthodox cosmology. Although Clavius strongly resisted the new cosmologies of Copernicus and Tycho, Galileo's invention of the telescope ultimately eroded the Ptolemaic world view. By tracing Clavius's views from medieval cosmology the seventeenth century, Lattis illuminates the conceptual shift from Ptolemaic to Copernican astronomy and the social, intellectual, and theological impact of the Scientific Revolution.

Book Synopsis Jeff Buckley's Grace by : Daphne Brooks
Download or read book Jeff Buckley's Grace written by Daphne Brooks and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2005-04-28 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The power and influence of Grace increases with each passing year. Here, Daphne Brooks traces Jeff Buckley's fascinating musical development through the earliest stages of his career, up to the release of the album. With access to rare archival material, Brooks illustrates Buckley's passion for life and hunger for musical knowledge, and shows just why he was such a crucial figure in the American music scene of the 1990s. EXCERPT: Jeff Buckley was piecing together a contemporary popular music history for himself that was steeped in the magic of singing. He was busy hearing how Dylan channeled Billie Holiday in Blonde On Blonde and how Robert Plant was doing his best to sound like Janis Joplin on early Led Zeppelin recordings. He was thinking about doo-wop and opera and Elton John and working at developing a way to harness the power of the voice...In the process, he was re-defining punk and grunge "attitude" itself by rejecting the ambivalent sexual undercurrents of those movements, as well as Led Zeppelin's canonical "cock rock" kingdom that he'd grown up adoring. He was forging a one-man revolution set to the rhythms of New York City and beyond. And he was on the brink of recording his elegant battle in song for the world to hear.
Book Synopsis Analysis of Ancient and Medieval Texts and Manuscripts by : Tara Lee Andrews
Download or read book Analysis of Ancient and Medieval Texts and Manuscripts written by Tara Lee Andrews and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How has the digital turn truly changed the nature of our research, particularly in the field of medieval scholarship where our collections are almost never large enough to justify the term 'big data'? All kind of new avenues of research are emerging, thanks to the creativity of scholars and to their interest in what digital means can offer. This collection of articles aims to give an up-to-date overview of the use of computer-assisted methods in several fields of scholarship dealing with ancient and medieval texts and manuscripts (from codicology and palaeography to textual criticism and literary or historical studies), across the boundaries of language and period. In moving away from theoretical debates about what the field of digital humanities is or should be, we present here a clearer picture of what textual scholars can achieve when they use computers for their research needs and purposes, and what their expectations may be in terms of the technology and developments in computational methodology.
