"Current debates regarding religious tolerations have come to a standstill. In investigating the eighteenth-century novel, Alison Conway, David Alvarez, and their contributors shed light on what literature can say about toleration, and how it can produce and manage feelings of tolerance and intolerance. Largely reserved for intellectual historians and political philosophers, discussions of religious toleration are relatively limited, with very few literary scholars exploring the subject. Beginning with an overview of the historical debates surrounding the terms "toleration" and "tolerance," this book moves on to discuss the specific contribution that literature and literary modes have made to cultural history, studying the literary techniques philosophers, theologians, and political theorists used to frame the questions central to the idea and practice of religious toleration. By tracing the rhetoric employed by a wide range of authors, this book reveals the tropes and figures we associate with literary texts, delving into such topics as conversion as an instrument of power in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice and the relationship between religious toleration and the rise of Enlightenment satire."--

This self-contained textbook provides the basic, abstract tools used in nonlinear analysis and their applications to semilinear elliptic boundary value problems. By first outlining the advantages and disadvantages of each method, this comprehensive text displays how various approaches can easily be applied to a range of model cases. An Introduction to Nonlinear Functional Analysis and Elliptic Problems is divided into two parts: the first discusses key results such as the Banach contraction principle, a fixed point theorem for increasing operators, local and global inversion theory, Leray–Schauder degree, critical point theory, and bifurcation theory; the second part shows how these abstract results apply to Dirichlet elliptic boundary value problems. The exposition is driven by numerous prototype problems and exposes a variety of approaches to solving them. Complete with a preliminary chapter, an appendix that includes further results on weak derivatives, and chapter-by-chapter exercises, this book is a practical text for an introductory course or seminar on nonlinear functional analysis.

L’ironie et l’humour, ces frères ennemis si familiers mais si insaisissables, sont depuis trop longtemps associés à des clichés consacrés par la littérature et par la critique littéraire. Afin de dépasser la taxinomie et le confort intellectuel des étiquettes, il est nécessaire de délier les deux notions de leur immédiateté référentielle ainsi que de leurs implications morales. Partant de l’intuition qu’il existe entre elles une dynamique esthétique, le présent ouvrage analyse leur fonctionnement stylistique. Il étudie la question des relations esthétiques entre l’ironie et l’humour en les envisageant à partir du regard du créateur sur l’œuvre d’art et sur le langage comme manifestation de sa subjectivité - et en considérant le rôle actif du lecteur. Esta obra aborda de manera conjunta las nociones de ironía y de humor en el ámbito de la cultura española, considerándolas a partir de la mirada del creador sobre la obra de arte y sobre el lenguaje. La mayoría de los trabajos desarrollados hasta ahora han privilegiado sus implicaciones satíricas, moralizadoras e ideológicas. El objetivo aquí es tratar de superar las clasificaciones tradicionales de estos dos conceptos, tan familiares como inasibles.
