The book presents Guidobaldo del Monte's first book from 1577, the Mechanicorum liber, which is reprinted here in a facsimile edition. The book is a comprehensive treatise on mechanics dealing with the five simple machines, the lever, the pulley, the wheel on an axle, the wedge and the screw. Their properties were in turn derived from the workings of the balance and the lever. The idea that every mechanism can be reduced to these five simple machines goes back to Heron of Alexandria and has been transmitted to the early modern period by Pappus, while the foundational role of balance and lever goes back to the Problemata mechanica ascribed to Aristotle.

Die Ausschreibung der hier dokumentierten Tagung hatte den umfassenden Literaturbericht Jan-Dirk Müllers von 1985 als Ausgangspunkt genommen, an die Menge und die Vielfalt der seither geleisteten Forschung über den Prosaroman erinnert und zudem darauf verwiesen, dass in diesem Vierteljahrhundert wie wohl nie zuvor in der Fachgeschichte Forschungsparadigmen formuliert, diskutiert und propagiert worden waren; eine Vielzahl von ihnen betraf gerade auch den Prosaroman. Vor diesem Hintergrund steht die an der Jahrtausendwende getroffene Feststellung Müllers: “Eine Geschichte der Prosaromane, die sie nicht mehr nur vor dem Hintergrund ihrer mittelalterlichen Vorläufer betrachtet, ist noch zu schreiben” – ein Ziel, das weiter als je in der Ferne liegen dürfte. Insofern wollen die zwei Dutzend hier vorgelegten Tagungsbeiträge einzig neue Annäherungen an den ebenso vielfältigen wie reizvollen Gegenstand bieten. Günstig mag immerhin zu Buche schlagen, dass er in der Optik verschiedener Disziplinen (neben der Germanistik: Kunst-, Sprach-, Buchwissenschaft, Romanistik) betrachtet wird, dass ferner das Einleitungskapitel eine Tagungsbilanz erstellt und dass abschliessend eine Bibliographie die seit 1985 geleistete Forschung wenigstens als Titelliste fassbar macht.

Of Love and War: The Political Voice in the Early Plays of Aphra Behn is a study which situates Behn’s early plays within their historical and political context. Behn (c.1640-1689), the first professional female playwright in England, is a fascinating study, having traveled to Surinam as a young woman, served as a spy for Charles II, and evidently supported her family through her writing, including plays, poetry, fiction, and translation. Her early plays have often been dismissed as romances, largely because they treat such social and/or gender issues as forced marriage and female desire. This study argues that these same social issues frequently serve as tropes for political commentary and propaganda in support of foreign and domestic policies. Behn’s plays clearly demonstrate staunch loyalist support of the Stuart government, yet within the dramatic construction, she—like her contemporary male colleagues, offers fascinating covert political criticism.

This is a comparative reading of Donne's poetry and prose, which eschews questions of personal or religious sincerity in order to recreate an image of John Donne as a man of many performances.

This book discusses perceptions of ‘femininity’ in contemporary South Korea and the extent to which fictional representations in South Korean women’s fiction of the 1990's challenges the enduring association of the feminine with domesticity, docility and passivity. While existing literature addresses Korean women’s legal, educational, political and employment issues, this study is the first to analyse the cultural values that define femininity in the context of the Korean cultural imagination, concentrating on literary representations of femininity.

William Lawes is arguably one of the finest English composers of the early seventeenth century. Born in Salisbury in 1602, he rose to prominence in the early 1630s; in 1635 he gained a prestigious post among the elite private musicians of Charles I (the 'Lutes, Viols and Voices'). With the outbreak of civil war in 1642, Lawes took arms in support of the king; he died during the Siege of Chester in September 1645. This book is divided into three sections. The first is a contextual examination of music at the court of Charles I, with specific reference to the arcane group of musicians known as the 'Lutes, Viols and Voices'; much of Lawes's surviving consort music appears to have been written for performance of this group. The remainder of the book deals with William Lawes the composer. The second section is a detailed study of Lawes's autograph sources: the first of its kind. It includes 62 black and white facsimile images, and complete inventories of all the autographs, and presents ground-breaking new research into Lawes's scribal hand, the sources and their functions, and new evidence for their chronology. The third section comprises six chapters on Lawes's consort music; in these chapters various topics are examined, such as chronology, Lawes's compositional process, and the relationship between Lawes's music and the court context from which it arose. This book will be of interest to scholars working on English music in the Early Modern period, but also to those interested in source studies, compositional process and the function of music in the Early Modern court.
