Edward IV

Edward IV

Hannes Kleineke

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
nidottu
Drawing together both recent research and original sources, this concise and accessible biography reassesses the debates surrounding the life of King Edward IV.The reign of King Edward IV occupies a pivotal place in late medieval English history, marking the transition from a medieval to a renaissance monarchy, yet there has been much controversy over the King's character. Was Edward a vain and self-indulgent playboy, or was his life cut tragically short? Offering readers insight into the latest scholarship, this second edition has been updated and revised to include a wider consideration of the role of women at Edward’s court, including his mother Cecily of York, as well as Edward’s own attitude to women and family. Kleineke also includes an extended discussion of Edward’s legacy the government of England in the 1470s, and the cultural history of the period.As fascinating a character now as he was for Shakespeare over four centuries ago, Edward IV remains essential reading for all students of late medieval England, the Wars of the Roses and all those interested in the history of monarchy more broadly.

Edward Albee and the Emergence of Difference and Diversity in US and World Theatre

Edward Albee and the Emergence of Difference and Diversity in US and World Theatre

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
This collection of essays seeks to present articles that examine the early ventures of the 1960s and 1970s in the progressive theatre of identity with a new contemporary view considering the intersection of race, gender, ethnicity, economic class, and sexual orientation.In 1964, Edward Albee and his producers, Richard Barr and Clinton Wilder, produced Funnyhouse of a Negro by Adrienne Kennedy, and Dutchman by Amiri Baraka (then, Leroi Jones), and by 1968, had produced the seminal gay drama, The Boys in the Band by Mart Crowley. No other major American playwright of this period (including Thornton Wilder, Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, or William Inge) produced the plays of their junior colleagues with a specific focus on difference and diversity. For most scholars, these productions and Albee’s involvement in them are a somewhat obscure footnote in theatre history. But they remain important for their early support of diverse voices. Even as Albee’s career was skyrocketing, he and his producers had begun a producing project that began the seeds of diversity, equity, and inclusion in a decidedly anti-racist, decolonizing, and progressive move that still resonates powerfully today. While this book is not a hagiography, and does not intend to paint Albee as without his own critical failings in terms of diversity in his own work and that of others, this volume of theatre history, dramatic literature, and performance essays takes a detailed, critical approach at Albee’s engagement with other initiating plays, productions, producers, theatre companies, theatre artists, and performances in the US that pushed the dial toward difference and diversity in the late 1950s through the late 1970s, beginning the formations of new theatres of identity across the United States.This volume will be of great intertest to students and scholars in theatre and performance studies.

Edward Upward and Left-Wing Literary Culture in Britain

Edward Upward and Left-Wing Literary Culture in Britain

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
nidottu
Offering the first book-length consideration of Edward Upward (1903-2009), one of the major British left-wing writers, this collection positions his life and works in the changing artistic, social and political contexts of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Upward’s fiction and non-fiction, from the 1920s onwards, illustrate the thematic and formal richness of left-wing writing during the twentieth-century age of extremes. At the same time, Upward’s work shows the inherent tensions of a life committed at once to writing and to politics. The full range of Upward’s work and a wealth of unpublished materials are examined, including his early fantastic stories of the 1920s, his Marxist fiction of the 1930s, the extraordinary semi-autobiographical trilogy The Spiral Ascent and his formally and thematically innovative later stories. The essays collected here reevaluate Upward’s central place in twentieth-century British literary culture and assess his legacy for the twenty-first century.

Letters of Edward FitzGerald to Fanny Kemble (1871-1883) (Esprios Classics)

Edward FitzGerald or Fitzgerald (31 March 1809 - 14 June 1883) was an English poet and writer. His most famous poem is the first and best known English translation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, which has kept its reputation and popularity since the 1860s. In 1853, FitzGerald issued Six Dramas of Calderon, freely translated. He then turned to Oriental studies, and in 1856 published anonymously a version of the Sal m n and Abs l of Jami in Miltonic verse. In March 1857, Cowell discovered a set of Persian quatrains by Omar Khayy m in the Asiatic Society library, Calcutta, and sent them to FitzGerald. At the time, the name with which FitzGerald has been so closely identified first occurs in his correspondence: "Hafiz and Omar Khayyam ring like true metal."

Edward Lear as Victorian Modernist

Edward Lear as Victorian Modernist

Thomas Dilworth

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2026
sidottu
Edward Lear as Victorian Modernist offers a bold new reading of Lear’s limericks as foundational works of literary modernism. Far from being mere nonsense for children, Lear’s picture-limericks—each a fusion of image and verse—operate as bi-modal metaphors that generate meaning through juxtaposition rather than narrative continuity. This interpretive mode, rooted in fragmentation and allusive density, aligns closely with modernist aesthetics. Drawing on Lear’s letters and unpublished diaries, this study reveals how the irritants, opinions, and idiosyncrasies of his inner life inform these deceptively playful compositions. Through close literary and visual analysis, the book uncovers a layered taxonomy of human types and social commentary, encompassing themes of individuality, society, sexuality, and more. Many of the limericks, often grotesque and unexpectedly beautiful, emerge as sophisticated works of art. The volume also explores Lear’s influence on the evolution of the limerick, particularly its later eroticization. By grounding interpretation in both biography and cultural context, this monograph repositions Lear not as an outlier but as a key figure in the genealogy of modernist expression.

Edward Hopper 2026 Wall Calendar

Pomegranate Europe Ltd

Edward Hopper built his paintings around light. Filled with quiet and solitude, they are often warmed by the sun: "I like long shadows and early and late sunlight. I am . . . trying to paint sunlight without eliminating the form under it, if I can". In this collection, the light that so fascinated the artist bathes New England land and sea as it enters indoor spaces with geometric intensity. Hopper spent nearly every summer of his prolific career in New England. However, he was born and raised in Nyack, New York, studied painting at the New York School of Art, and wintered in Greenwich Village. The outcome of this dual residency is a body of work rich in rural landscapes and seascapes, as well as studies of city life.
