Chivalry (1909) is a fascinating collection of tales that draw inspiration from the popular chronicles of medieval Europe. Author James Branch Cabell immerses his reader into this distant world , masking his authorship in order to ensure a fluidity of form and content that injects his work of high fantasy with a sense of truth.Intentionally layered in mystery and claims of authenticity, Chivalry purports to be a copy made by royal scribe Colard Mansion of the Dizain of Queens, a collection of chronicles, tales, and histories written by Messire Nicolas de Caen for the Princess Isabella of Portugal. In ¿The Story of the Sestina,¿ a traveling singer has a chance encounter with the Queen of England, who recognizes him as the esteemed Osmund Heleigh and requests of him a song. As he joins her on her journey through war-torn countryside, two things become clear¿the pair have a secret history, and, as battle nears, Osmund will soon have to offer more than his songs in her service. As the collection¿s title suggests, many of Cabell¿s stories follow a similar theme: the relationship between men and women within a system regulated by honor, responsibility, and often blind loyalty. ¿The Story of the Tenson,¿ set in Spain in 1265, follows Ellinor of Castile¿s efforts to escape her marriage in the pursuit of love. In ¿The Story of the Choices,¿ Queen Ysabeau of England eases her boredom by devising a series of trials for the knight Sir Gregory Darrell. Over the course of ten tales, tales of danger, romance, intrigue, and courage, James Branch Cabell¿s Chivalry broadens the mystery of the medieval world while illuminating, and critiquing, our own.Cabell¿s work has long been described as escapist, his novels and stories derided as fantastic and obsessive recreations of a world lost long ago. To read Chivalry, however, is to understand that the issues therein¿the struggle for power, the unspoken distance between men and women¿were vastly important not only at the time of its publication, but in our own, divisive world.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of James Branch Cabell¿s Chivalry is a classic of fantasy and romance reimagined for modern readers.

The Headswoman (1898) is a story by Kenneth Grahame. Although less popular than The Wind in the Willows (1908), which would go on to become not only a defining work of Edwardian English literature, but one of the most popular works of children¿s fiction in the world, The Headswoman is a humorous story of tradition and bureaucracy that brilliantly satirizes the ongoing debate around women¿s suffrage.In the town of St. Radegonde, following the death of the local executioner, it has become necessary to make the role available to the man¿s only daughter. Although Jeanne would be the first woman to hold the position, an occurrence sure to be controversial, bureaucratic tradition demands to be upheld. Rejecting an offer to let her cousin, Enguerrand, become executioner instead, Jeanne is appointed to the role and begins her work the very next morning. Eager and capable, Jeanne has a calming effect on the men sent to her to die. But when a prominent aristocrat falls in love with the diligent young woman, her newfound independence and hard-won respect fall prey to the power of romance. The Headswoman is a satirical story set in the middle ages but aimed at a contemporary audience. Published during the early stages of the women¿s suffrage movement, the story envisions a world in which a woman is granted the right to fully participate in the formation and maintenance of authority. With cunning wit and sly references to nineteenth century life, The Headswoman seems to ask what equality would look like for women in a system dependent upon its opposite.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Kenneth Grahame¿s The Headswoman is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.

After learning how to fight at a young age, Oroonoko, an African prince, fights alongside his army against invading forces. When a celebrated general saves Oroonoko¿s life, trading his own to take an arrow for Oroonoko, the young prince feels indebted to the man and decides to go pay his respects to the late general¿s family. There, he meets Imoinda, the daughter of the general. Oroonoko and Imoinda quickly fall in love and become betrothed, but the King, Oroonoko¿s father, hears of Imoindäs beauty and decides to take her as one of his wives. When Oroonoko and Imoinda rebel against this, the King sells Imoinda into slavery. Heartbroken, Oroonoko goes back to war, only to be tricked and captured by a British general. After the British general sells Oroonoko into slavery, he is reunited with Imoinda, as they are sold to work on the same plantation. This joy is short lived, as the horrors of slavery take its toll. When Imoinda becomes pregnant, the couple decide to do whatever it takes to ensure the best life for their child. They beg to be emancipated, but the plantation owner hardly considers their request, forcing Oroonoko to take his freedom back by force. With a lifetime of training, the love of his life at his side, and a dedication to regain his freedom, Oroonoko must lead a slave rebellion, risking everything he has for what he and his family should have: freedom. Oroonoko: or, The Royal Slave has earned acclaim from both literary critics and historians. When it was originally published in 1688, less than a year before author Aphra Behn died, Oroonoko: or, The Royal Slave did not receive immediate attention. However, Behn¿s work did gain popularity after a stage version of the novel was released in 1695. While the accuracy of the novel¿s plot has been questioned and debated by historians, Oroonoko: or The Royal Slave has earned cultural and historical significance by being claimed as one of the first novels written in English. Along with its prolific and innovative writer, the novel has earned significance that is still admirable today. Now redesigned with an eye-catching cover and reprinted in a modern font, Oroonoko: or The Royal Slave by Aphra Behn is accessible for a modern audience.

“Fra Nebukadnesar til Hitler. Et rids af zionismens historie” er en historisk gennemgang af zionismen. Bogen er skrevet af journalist Peter de Gemmer Gudme kort efter Hitlers indsættelse som rigskansler i Tyskland, men inden anden verdenskrigs udbrud. I konteksten af nazismens frembrud beskriver Gudme zionismen i et historisk perspektiv og kommer herunder rundt om emner som politisk zionisme, den jødiske renæssance, pogromer i Europa, første verdenskrig, arabere og englændere, zionistiske partier og året, hvor Hitler kom til magten. Peter de Hemmer Gudme (1897-1944) var en dansk journalist og modstandsmand. I 1918 tog han som frivillig til Finland for at kæmpe for landets uafhængighed fra Rusland efter Oktoberrevolutionen i 1917. Gudme var stor fortaler for nordisk solidaritet og gjorde efter sit ophold i Finland tjeneste i den estiske frihedskrig. Efter sin hjemkomst til København helligede han sig journalistikken og arbejdede blandt andet på Ekstra Bladet og Berlingske Tidende, hvor han var udstationeret som krigskorrespondent i Finland under vinterkrigen i 1939-1940. Da Tyskland besatte Danmark i 1940 meldte Gudme sig ind i modstandskampen og brugte sine journalistiske evner ved flere illegale blade, herunder Dagbladet Information, der blev født i krigstid i forlængelse af den illegale presse. I 1944 blev han arresteret af Gestapo og indsat i Shellhuset, men for ikke at komme til at røbe sine hemmeligheder valgte han at tage sit eget liv.

“Kvindeskikkelser og kvindeliv i Danmarks middelalder” fra 1986 omhandler danske kvinders historie i perioden 800-1600. Kvinder har ifølge forfatter Grethe Jacobsen altid været bestemt af deres køn, men de har ikke blot været passive tilskuere til mænds liv og virke, mens de passede bålet, gryderne og børnene. Kvinders biologiske rolle har ligget fast, men deres sociale rolle har forandret sig gennem tiderne alt efter samfundslag og ægteskabelig stilling. Gennem eksempler på kvinder - såvel kendte som ukendte - kaster forfatteren lys over den danske kvindes historie fra den tidlige middelalder og frem til reformationen cirka 800 år senere og berører blandt andet forskellige faser af kvindelivet og kvindens retlige stilling.Grethe Jacobsen (f. 1945) er dr. phil. i historie og uddannet bibliotekar, senest ansat som seniorkonsulent ved Det Kongelige Bibliotek. Som universitetsstuderende i USA deltog Jacobsen i de første Berkshire-konferencer om kvindehistorie i 1970’erne, og her gik det op for hende, at der i historien har eksisteret en kønsblindhed, og at der i historieforskningen var en stor mangel på kvindelige perspektiver og erfaringer. Siden har hun udgivet en lang række afhandlinger og artikler om kvindehistorie og kvindelige perspektiver af rets- og socialhistorie. Med afhandlingen “Kvinder, køn og købstadslovgivning 1400-1600” fra 1995 blev hun dr. phil.

Frederik Hammerich sætter digtet ind i den historiske ramme og med stor indlevelse gennemgår han digtets hovedtemaer og deres betydning blandt andet i lys af den spirende kristendom. I bogens sidste del giver forfatteren sit bud på en oversættelse af digtet sidestillet med den oldislandske tekst.

Middelalderen har fået sit navn, fordi man i ældre tider anså perioden for at være en kulturel nedgangstid, der lå mellem romerrigets blomstrende kultur og renæssancen. Men betegnelsen “den mørke middelalder” er alt andet end retvisende. Det var ikke kun en periode præget af stridigheder mellem kirken og kongemagten, men også en periode hvor arkitektur, digterkunst og poesi trivedes som aldrig før. I “Middelalderen i Danmark” fortæller Niels-Knud Liebgott om livet, kunsten og litteraturen i middelalderens Danmark fra Harald Blåtand i 900-tallet indførte kristendommen og 550 år frem i tiden.Niels-Knud Liebgott (f. 1942) er dansk historiker og forfatter. Han er uddannet cand.art. i historie og har især beskæftiget sig med middelalderarkæologi. I 1970 blev han museumsinspektør ved Nationalmuseet og chef for afdelingen for oldtid og middelalder, og senere blev han museumsdirektør på Rosenborg Slot og Amalienborg. I sin forskning har Liebgott blandt andet beskæftiget sig med arkæologiske undersøgelser af middelalderlige handelspladser i Danmark. Som forfatter står han bag udgivelser som “Middelalderen i Danmark” og “Hellige mænd og kvinder”.

Aus Anlaß des 80. Geburtstags von Johannes Koder (*1942) bringen Freunde, Wegbegleiter, Schüler und Kollegen diese Festschrift dar, deren Beiträge sich inhaltlich auf jene Forschungsinteressen des Jubilars beziehen, die er als Professor für Byzantinistik an der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz (1978-1985) und ordentlicher Professor der Byzantinistik an der Universität Wien (1985-2010) stets mit großem Eifer, Enthusiasmus und Originalität in Lehre und Forschung vertreten hat. Dazu zählen im wesentlichen Aspekte der historischen Geographie, Wirtschaftsgeschichte, Archäologie, Gräzistik und Philologie sowie Hymnologie des Byzantinischen Reiches, womit er die Beitragenden aus dem In- und Ausland während seiner aktiven Laufbahn auf verschiedene Art und Weise inspirierte.Aus diesem Grunde finden sich in diesem Band archäologische, toponomastische, historische, philologische, historisch-geographische und kunsthistorische Themen. Vom wachen schöpferischen Geist Johannes Koders zeugt auch seine Beschäftigung mit vermeintlichen "Randthemen" der Byzantinistik und Balkanforschung, wie zum Beispiel dem Kordax - dem "Tanz der Slawen", der für die Festschrift namensgebend ist.

Die vor 120 Jahren erschienene, längst vergriffene deutsche Ausgabe von Tolstois Kalenderbuch "Gedanken weiser Männer" wird hier von Ingrid von Heiseler als ungekürzte Neuedition vorgelegt. Der Übersetzer Adolf Heß erläutert zur Entstehung dieser Sammlung: "Während der schweren Krankheit Leo N. Tolstois im Januar 1903, als sein Leben an einem seidenen Faden hing und er der gewohnten Arbeit nicht nachgehen konnte, fand er doch die Kraft, täglich im Neuen Testament und auf einem Kalender im Schlafzimmer die Aussprüche verschiedener großer Männer zu lesen. Aber das Jahr und mit ihm der Kalender ging zu Ende und nun entstand in Tolstoi der Wunsch, sich selbst Auszüge aus verschiedenen Denkern für jeden Tag zusammenzustellen. Täglich vom Bette aus, soweit es seine Kräfte erlaubten, machte er diese Auszüge - fügte auch eigenes hinzu ..."Das so entstandene Buch war Auftakt zu insgesamt drei weisheitlichen Lesewerken Tolstois (es folgten der Lektürezyklus "Für alle Tage", 1904-1908, und die Anthologie "Der Weg des Lebens", 1910). Dokumentiert wird in der vorliegenden Ausgabe eine Rezension der "Illustrierten Zeitung für das gesamte Judentum" von 1905: "Es ist sehr bemerkenswert, dass unter den sechsundfünfzig Autoren, die Tolstoi exzerpiert hat, der Talmud am stärksten vertreten ist. Von den Sprüchen für die 365 Tage des Jahres sind nämlich nicht weniger als hundert und sieben dem Talmud entnommen. Diese enorme Ziffer wird noch dadurch erhöht, dass die Zitate aus dem Talmud meist von größerem Umfang sind und jedes von ihnen füglich in mehrere Sprüche zerlegt werden kann. Der Talmud hat offenbar auf den Weisen von Jasnaja Poljana einen starken Eindruck gemacht und seinem Geist Nahrung geboten."Tolstoi-FriedensbibliothekReihe B, Band 17 (Signatur TFb_B017)Herausgegeben von Peter Bürger,Editionsmitarbeit: Ingrid von Heiseler
