Los historiadores de los teatros español e italiano se han mostrado tradicionalmente poco proclives a establecer puentes que permitan los estudios comparativos entre dos teatros tan ricos y complejos, más allá de algunas épocas (el siglo XVI) o autores concretos (Goldoni, Pirandello). Y, sin embargo, se trata de dos tradiciones dramáticas que presentan puntos de contacto a lo largo de prácticamente toda su historia. La época medieval, la renacentista....

Je serai tout au long de ma vie
de deux rives,
de deux continents,
de deux mondes,
comme les lèvres d'une plaie ouverte.
Mais c'est ici que je vivrai,
ici que je travaillerai,
ici que grandira mon fils,
ici que ma fille aura des enfants.
Vous m'avez accueilli un jour
et j'ai saisi la chance à bout de bras.
J'ai peiné.
J'ai sué.
J'ai pleuré.
Je veux rire et vivre maintenant.
J'ai reçu.
Je donnerai.
Nommez votre combat
et j'en serai....

Rather than being properties of the individual self, emotions are socially produced and deployed in specific cultural contexts, as this collection documents with unusual richness. All the essays show emotions to be a form of thought and knowledge, and a major component of social life- including in the nineteenth century, which attempted to relegate them to a feminine intimate sphere.
The collection ranges across topics such as eighteenth-century...

Collected in 1864 by the British bibliographer William Carew Hazlitt, the jest books are haphazard in their authorial ascriptions: they have origins in the oral tradition and anthologized the professional foolery of noted clowns Richard Tarlton and Will...

Historically, English-language readers have been great fans of European literature, and names like Franz Kafka, Gustave Flaubert, and Thomas Mann are so familiar we hardly think of them as foreign at all. What those writers brought to English-language literature was a wide variety of new ideas, styles, and ways of seeing the world. Yet times have changed, and how much do we even know about the richly diverse literature being written in Europe today?
