"This book uncovers the complex interconnections between politics and finance in the midst of the French Revolution. Charting the trajectories of members of the financial elite between London, Paris and Amsterdam, this study reveals the ever-shifting relationship between market actors and the political world. The French Revolution paved the way for bankers, especially those working in international finance, to occupy a new position within not only the economic framework of the time but also on the political stage. The profession of banker went through a series of transitions in its relationship with the political authorities. These changes affecting the social, economic and political status of bankers led to increasingly active interactions between politics and finance that have become a feature of our modern societies. Using a transnational and interdisciplinary approach, this book highlights how during the Age of Revolution there emerged a dynamic which is still present today: the financial world and the sphere of politics became strongly intermixed while actors from both sides made efforts to overpower their counterparts. In this way, it provides an ideal perspective for bridging the gap that has long separated economic from cultural history in the study of the French Revolution."-- Page 4 of cover

"The Silvae by Statius dethroned Virgil from the Studio in Naples, fostered the creation of a new genre, offered a model for court poetry, and seduced the most prestigious Humanists in the most vibrant centres of Renaissance Italy and the Netherlands. The collection preserves magnificent buildings otherwise lost; speaks of stones otherwise unknown; and memorializes people, rituals, and social relationships that would have passed into oblivion in silence. This volume offers a fresh look into approaches to the Silvae by editors and commentators, both at the time of the rediscovery of the poems and today"-- Provided by publisher

"Als einer der bedeutendsten Lyriker der deutschsprachigen Literatur hat Eduard Mörike seinen festen Platz in der Literaturgeschichte. Zu seiner erzählenden Prosa hat die Forschung bis heute -- von einzelnen Ausnahmen abgesehen -- keinen rechten Zugang gewinnen können. Das mag damit zu tun haben, dass viele dieser Texte oberflächlich betrachtet harmlos, naiv oder volkstümlich erscheinen ; erst bei genauerer Betrachtung geben sie sich als hochartifizielle, beziehungsreiche Kunstschöpfungen zu erkennen. Erstmals werden hier in einer Zusammenschau der Roman, die Novellen und Erzählungen, die Balladen, das Versepos 'Idylle vom Bodensee', die Briefe und die bislang marginalisierten sogenannten 'Vermischten Schriften' mit den autobiographischen Aufzeichnungen und Berichten über Geistererscheinungen diskutiert -- mit erstaunlichen und unerwarteten Ergebnissen. Der vorliegende Band wartet mit neuen Impulsen zur Revision des Mörike-Bildes auf."-- Provided by publisher

Enlightenment values, including an emphasis on human rights and belief in rationalism and progress, aspire to be universals, yet at the same time they are concepts grounded in the eighteenth century. Since the French Revolution we have grappled with the concepts of Enlightenment, Lumières, Aufklärung, in an attempt to understand how these eighteenth-century concepts continue to shape and influence modern notions of liberal culture. This collection of essays approaches these important questions in a resolutely European and multi-lingual perspective.

"Im Jahr 1785 setzt ein reger Briefwechsel zwischen den Dichtern Johann Georg Jacobi (1740 – 1814) und Gottlieb Konrad Pfeffel (1736 – 1809) ein, der erst mit Pfeffels Todabbricht. Der Austausch ist ein bedeutendes Dokument der Freundschaftskultur desspäten 18. Jahrhunderts. Zugleich ist er ein wichtiges Referenzwerk für die Literatur und Kulturgeschichte der Umbruchzeit um 1800: Neben politischen Stellungnahmen bietet die Korrespondenz sozialhistorische Einblicke in die Universitäts‑ und Kirchenpolitik der Epoche und in die kollaborative Poetik der beiden Dichter, die als Repräsentanten einer untergehenden Zeit gemeinsam an ihrem Andenken arbeiten. Die insgesamt 139 überlieferten Briefe werden hier erstmals vollständig nach den handschriftlichen Quellen ediert und ausführlich kommentiert."-- taken from publisher web site.
"In 1785, a lively correspondence began between the poets Johann Georg Jacobi (1740 - 1814) and Gottlieb Konrad Pfeffel (1736 - 1809), which only ended with Pfeffel's death. The exchange is an important document of the friendship culture of the late 18th century. At the same time, it is an important reference work for the literature and cultural history of the period of upheaval around 1800: In addition to political statements, the correspondence offers socio-historical insights into the university and church politics of the era and into the collaborative poetics of the two poets, who worked together as representatives of a declining time souvenir work. The total of 139 surviving letters are here for the first time completely edited based on the handwritten sources and commented on in detail."-- English translation of description from publisher web site.

"The North American continent has a rich record of the tectonic environments and processes that occur throughout much of Earth history. This Memoir focuses on 7 "turning points" that had specific and lasting impacts on Laurentian evolution : (1) The Neoarchean, characterized by cratonization ; (2) the Paleoproterozoic and the initial assembly of Laurentia ; (3) the Mesoproterozoic southern margin of Laurentia ; (4) the Midcontinent rift and the Grenville orogeny ; (5) the Neoproterozoic breakup of Rodinia ; (6) the mid-Paleozoic phases of the Appalachian-Caledonian orogen ; and (7) the Jurassic-Paleogene assembly of the North American Cordillera. The chapters in this Memoir provide syntheses of current understanding of the geologic evolution of Laurentia and North America, as well as new hypotheses for testing."-- Provided by publisher
