Die Autoren widmen sich drei unterschiedlichen Schwerpunkten der Kinder- und Jugendliteraturforschung: den historischen Aspekten, der kinder- und jugendliterarischen Bildforschung sowie in thematischen und narratologischen Einzelstudien Aspekten aktueller und historischer Kinder- und Jugendliteratur und ihrer Didaktik. Diese Schwerpunkte stecken zugleich die Arbeits- und Forschungsbereiche Otto Brunkens ab, dem dieser Band gewidmet ist. Otto Brunkens Lehr- und Forschungstätigkeit liegt seit rund drei Jahrzehnten maßgeblich auf der gesamten Bandbreite der (historischen) Kinder- und Jugendliteraturforschung sowie der Literaturkritik und den Bildmedien.

The insight that "the implications of textuality as such" can and must underlie our interpretations of literary works remains one of A.C. Spearing's greatest contributions to medieval studies. It is a tribute to the breadth and significance of his scholarship that the twelve essays gathered in his honour move beyond his own methods and interests to engage variously with "textuality as such," presenting a substantial and expansive view of current thinking on form in late medieval literary studies. Covering a range of topics, including the meaning of words, "experientiality", poetic form and its cultural contexts, revisions, rereadings, subjectivity, formalism and historicism, failures of form, the dit, problems of editing lyrics, and collective subjectivity in lyric, they offer a spectrum of the best sort of work blossoming forth from close reading of the kind Spearing was such an early advocate for, continues to press, and which is now so central to medieval studies. Authors and works addressed include Chaucer (The Canterbury Tales, Troilus and Criseyde, The Legend of Good Women, "Adam Scriveyn", "To Rosemounde", "The Complaint Unto Pity"), Langland (Piers Plowman), the Gawain-poet (Cleanness), Charles d'Orléans, Gower (Confessio Amantis), and anonymous lyrics.

The charge of »Ressentiment« can in today's world - less from traditionally conservative quarters than from the neo-positivist discourses of particular forms of liberalism - be used to undermine the argumentative credibility of political opponents, dissidents and those who call for greater »justice«. The essays in this volume draw on the broad spectrum of cultural discourse on »Ressentiment«, both in historical and contemporary contexts. Starting with its conceptual genesis, the essays also show contemporary nuances of »Ressentiment« as well as its influence on literary and philosophical discourse in the 20th century.

Starting from an analysis of practices of participation in contemporary print and other media, the volume opens up a historical perspective, probing the potential of the concept of participatory cultures for the exploration of past forms of collaboration between individual and collective actors (i.e. authors, editors, publishers, fans, critics etc.). In doing so, the volume sheds new light on the historically, culturally, and medially specific forms and functions as well as on the economic, political and institutional parameters that contributed to the emergence and transformation of what turn out to be precarious alliances. »The individual articles offer a rich variety of subjects, and many of them are rewarding in their own right or will be helpful for readers interested in specific subjects.« Sebastian Domsch, Anglistik, 29/1 (2018) Besprochen in: GMK-Newsletter, 4 (2016)

Thomas Traherne has all too often been defined and studied as a solitary thinker, "out of his time", and not as a participant in the complex intellectual currents of the period. The essays collected here take issue with this reading of him, placing Traherne firmly in his historical context and situating his work within broader issues in seventeenth-century studies and the history of ideas; they draw on recently published textual discoveries alongside manuscripts which still have yet to be published. They address major themes in Traherne studies, including Traherne's interpretation of spirit and his understanding of matter, his attitude towards happiness and holiness, his response to solitude and society, and his Anglican identity. As a wholle, the volume aims to re-ignite discussion on settled readings of Traherne's work, reconsider issues in Traherne scholarship which have long lain dormant, and supplement our picture of the man and his writings through new discoveries and insights.
