Condition: Neu. The "Great Wedding" of 1634. The "Great Wedding" celebrated the nuptials of the Danish Prince-Elect Christian and the Saxon princess Magdalena Sibylle in Copenhagen in 1634. It was marked by the most spectacular court festival held in continental Europe during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). The study undertake…s a three-fold mission: first, to describe and analyze the "Great Wedding" as a distinct phenomenon in the dynastic and cultural life of the court of Christian IV. of Denmark; second, to situate this specific festival in the context of other Danish festivals during the lifetime of that monarch; and third, to examine the spectacles (ballet, musical drama, fireworks, and masked tournament pageants) within the German Protestant tradition. This investigation also presents an overview of Danish court spectacles during the minority and early reign of Christian IV. Finally Wade also investigates the continuation of Danish festival culture during his later reign. 443 Seiten mit 150 Abb. auf 90 Tafeln, Großformat, gebunden (Wolfenbütteler Arbeiten zur Barockforschung; Band 27/Herzog August Bibliothek in Kommission bei Harrassowitz Verlag 1996).

Condition: Neu. Edited by Sara Smart and Mara R. Wade. The wedding of Elizabeth Stuart and Friedrich V was an event of immense diplomatic, confessional, and cultural significance. 23 contributions (all of them in English) situate the wedding in its broadest context, exploring the pan-Protestant hopes it inspired and the rich cul…tural exchange it triggered. The volume is organized into clusters that reflect the approximate chronological and geographical order of the festivals, and include sections treating the context of the Palatine wedding and the artistic impulses in its wake. The contributions are divided into six subject areas: 1. Confessional Context and Response; 2. The Bride and Groom Elizabeth and Friedrich; 3. Celebrations in London; 4. Progress to and Reception in Heidelberg; 5. Cultural Exchange; 6. And Cultural Deception. - The wedding in 1613 of Elizabeth Stuart and Elector Palatine Friedrich V was an event of immense diplomatic, confessional, and cultural significance. This volume is unique in the scope of its approach to the magnificent spectacles, beginning in London and ending in Heidelberg, that were staged to mark the occasion. The study situates the wedding in its broadest context, exploring the pan-Protestant hopes it inspired and the rich cultural exchange it triggered. The twenty-three contributions introduce new archival and printed source materials, offering a wealth of fresh insights. Among the aspects addressed here are Elizabeth?s childhood, the diverse literary expression that accompanied the marriage, and the issue of court ceremonial, in this case with an added gender aspect in that the bride claimed precedence over her husband. Analysis of diplomatic correspondence and city records reveals external views on the alliance. A particular strength of the volume is its polycentric view, showing the connections linking Scotland, Denmark, the Netherlands, and the Palatinate. The detailed scholarship is animated by illustrations, many of them little known. - Contents: Sara Smart/Mara R. Wade: The Palatine Wedding of 1613. Protestant Alliance and Court Festival.

Cruz: Walled-In Woman in Medieval and Early Modern Spain; Carl Niekerk: Violence, Gender & Construction of the Other in the Story of Inkle & Yarico -- "Gender Matters opens the debate concerning violence in literature and the arts beyond a single national tradition and engages with multivalent aspects of both female and male gender constructs, mapping them onto depictions of violence. By defining a tight thematic focus and yet offering a broad disciplinary scope for inquiry, the present volume brings together a wide range of scholarly papers investigating a cohesive topic-gendered violence-from the perspectives of French, German, Italian, Spanish, English, and Japanese literature, history, musicology, art history, and cultural studies. It interrogates the intersection of gender and violence in the early modern period, cutting across national traditions, genres, media, and disciplines. By engaging several levels of discourse, the volume advances a holistic approach to understanding gendered violence in the early modern world. The convergence of discourses concerning literature, the arts, emerging print technologies, social and legal norms, and textual and visual practices leverages a more complex understanding of gender in this period. Through the unifying lens of gender and violence the contributions to this volume comprehensively address a wide scope of diverse issues, approaches, and geographies from late medieval Japan to the European Enlightenment. While the majority of essays focus on early modern Europe, they are broadly contextualized and informed by integrated critical approaches pertaining to issues of violence and gender.".

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Playing It by the Book addresses lacunae in existing scholarship by focusing on book game as a physical object - that is, manuscript and printed materials that served themselves as playthings. It explores games and gaming cultures in various social contexts throughout Europe, from Southeast and Cen…tral Europe to Scandinavia and from England to Italy and France, thus covering linguistic regions and cultural spheres which no longer correspond to today's political map. The book games underscore the permeability of political and social boundaries while also attesting to transformations and adaptations in political and cultural sensibilities. Through play, they reinforce various aspects of social discipline and reveal the mentalities that shaped many aspects of life from the beginning of book printing to the 17th century. The volume provides a new framework for investigating games by studying book games through the lens of book history. The essays are also influenced by their authors' engagement with literary studies, textual research, art history, and the history of philosophy, ideas, and religion. It looks at the culture of early modern games, their printing, and their distribution in a more comprehensive fashion than has previously been attempted. Most importantly, the research material at the core of these essays is the books themselves. 416 pp. Englisch.
