In this unprecedented survey of British cinema from the 1930s to the New Wave of the 1960s, Marcia Landy explores how cinematic representation and social history converge. Landy focuses on the genre film, a product of British mass culture often dismissed by critics as "unrealistic," showing that in England such cinema subtly dramatized unresolved cultural conflicts and was, in fact, more popular than critics have claimed. Her discussion covers hundreds of works--including historical films, films of empire, war films, melodrama, comedy, science-fiction, horror, and social problem films--and...

This reading of Hosea explores the book from a feminist, psychoanalytical and poetic perspective. What is God doing with a prostitute? How does the theme of prostitution relate to the abjection of the woman as the other, and the fantasy of sexual ecstasy, precisely because she escapes patriarchal order? Where is the prophet situated in the dialectic of rage and desire that both seduces and condemns Israel? His voice is both masculine and feminine, and poetically embodies the sensuality of wayward Israel. The ambiguity of voice is also that of the prophet's role, which is both to nurture...

One of the most innovative comedic programs to air on television, Monty Python's Flying Circus was a mix of the carnivalesque and the critical. The show has become famous for eschewing many of the conventions of situation comedy, the fully formed and coherent script, narrative closure, predictable characters, and the decorum associated with presentation. Its curious transatlantic popularity defied the assumption that comedy is regional and exclusive, and the show's cult status still lives on in the United States and United Kingdom through reruns, videos, DVDs, and continual reappearances...

Wir befinden uns im Jahr 1703 in dem idyllischen Städtchen San Gimignano in der Toskana. Dort hält sich gerade Skulduggerys Erzwidersacher Mevolent auf. An diesem wollen er und die Toten Männer sich endlich rächen, doch dann taucht der irische Großmagier Meritorius auf, der ihnen genau das Gegenteil aufträgt: Sie sollen Mevolent vor dem Attentäter Arbor Strickent beschützen. Denn Mevolent ist der einzige Zauberer, der die Porta dell' Inferno, einen Zugang zur Hölle, in dem eine zerstörerische Gottheit lauert, wieder schließen kann. Deshalb muss er am Leben bleiben - erst...

Vražda oblíbeného strýčka vytrhne dvanáctiletou Štěpánku z obyčejného života a vrhne ji do honby za úžasnou superzbraní, známou coby Žezlo prapředků....

This book is a collection of Landy's studies on the poetics of the Hebrew Bible. The Song of Songs is featured alongside the prophetic voices of Amos, Hosea and Isaiah, and essays on the Binding of Isaac and on the book of Ruth. Throughout, the emphasis throughout is on the subversiveness, richness and ambiguity of the text, but above all its (often enigmatic) beauty. The thread of psychoanalysis and its metaphorical technique draws together this collection from one of the Bible's most sensitive and distinctive literary critics.
