This book explores the possibilities and limitations of violence on the Early Modern stage and in the Early Modern world.
This collection is divided into three sections: History-cal Violence, (Un)Comic Violence, and Revenge Violence. This division allows scholars to easily find intertextual materials; comic violence may function similarly across multiple comedies but is vastly different from most tragic violence. While the source texts move beyond Shakespeare, this book follows the classic division of Shakespeare’s plays into history, comedy, and tragedy. Each section of the book contains one chapter engaging with modern dramatic practice along with several that take textual or historical approaches.
This wide-ranging approach means that the book will be appropriate both for specialists in Early Modern violence who are looking across multiple perspectives, and for students or scholars researching texts or approaches.

This book offers a compelling examination of how violence reverberates through Renaissance drama and early modern society.This edited collection explores the multifaceted nature of violence in early modern England, revealing how violent acts create ripple effects that extend far beyond their initial occurrence. The book's chapters investigate these echoes and distortions, making historically distant violence more comprehensible to contemporary readers. Rather than limiting its scope to physical bloodshed, the collection adopts a broader definition that encompasses violent language, soundscapes, and systemic oppression. By examining both theatrical representations and historical incidents, the authors illuminate the increasingly blurred boundary between staged and real violence. Through this comprehensive approach, the collection weaves a rich tapestry that captures the complex interconnections between various forms of violence in Renaissance England, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of how violence permeated early modern society and culture.This wide-ranging exploration will appeal to specialists in early modern violence seeking diverse perspectives, as well as students and scholars researching Renaissance texts, historical violence, or interdisciplinary approaches to early modern studies. - E-bokEngelska, 2026

The book speaks of a journey, a journey awakening in a place that I had no interest in being in, lost and never quite feeling like you belonged anywhere here. Being confirmed as a Catholic, and feeling that there was nothing of value within the prerequisite spiel projected by the various nuns and priests, I intuitively knew that there had to be something of much greater value beneath all that was known as ''Religion''.
So from an early age I just knew I had to find out what was behind it all. This, was my time to go home, my search took a lifetime, I found that if you truly wanted to find the truth about God, then God will place the information somewhere in your path, sometimes a book will mysteriously appear in your path. Sometimes certain people are placed in front of you for a time that will steer you in the right direction. But regardless the truth will come. Organized religion has a place in the world but as I found out, it is nothing more than a stepping stone, a stage that the soul must go through until it intuitively knows, and yearns for the whole truth.
This was my journey, a journey of being lost in a wilderness of confusion, and having a vague idea that there was something of great beauty underlying all that occurs on earth,to a place of inner peace, and of knowing that what we really are cannot ever die or cease to exist, a rare commodity if one refers to any newspaper. My journey was not without loss, the journey home requires facing every fear that you have as I did, but as I discovered, fear cannot exist in our real home, it should not exist here.

What is the nature of the relationship between the Hollywood Western and American frontier mythology? How have Western films helped develop cultural and historical perceptions, attitudes and beliefs towards the frontier? Is there still a place for the genre in light of revisionist histories of the American West?Myth of the Western re-invigorates the debate surrounding the relationship between the Western and frontier mythology, arguing for the importance of the genre’s socio-cultural, historical and political dimensions. Taking a number of critical-theoretical and philosophical approaches, Matthew Carter applies them to prominent forms of frontier historiography. He also considers the historiographic element of the Western by exploring the different ways in which the genre has responded to the issues raised by the frontier. Carter skilfully argues that the genre has – and continues to reveal – the complexities and contradictions at the heart of US society. With its clear analyses of and intellectual challenges to the film scholarship that has developed around the Western over a 65-year period, this book adds new depth to our understanding of specific film texts and of the genre as a whole – a welcome resource for students and scholars in both Film Studies and American Studies. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2016

From Destination Tokyo (1943) to The Battle of the Villa Fiorita (1965), Delmer Daves was responsible for a unique body of work, but few filmmakers have been as critically overlooked in existing scholarly literature. Often regarded as an embodiment of the self-effacing craftsmanship of classical and post-War Hollywood, films such as Broken Arrow (1950) and 3:10 to Yuma (1957) reveal a filmmaker concerned with style as much as sociocultural significance. As the first comprehensive study of Daves’s career, this collection of essays seeks to deepen our understanding of his work, and also to problematize existing conceptions of him as a competent, conventional and even naïve studio man. - Häftad, Engelska, 2017

The ease with which we can choose a typeface today is something we take for granted, but it is possible only because of the tremendous amount of labor of the Bentons.The ease with which we can choose a typeface today from a plethora of options to fit a particular need is something we may take for granted, but it is possible only because of the tremendous amount of labor and ingenuity that camebefore.The story of the lives and work of Linn Boyd Benton and Morris Fuller Benton is an important chapter in the history of type, recalling a time in American history when men quietly worked at developing and improvingmechanical technologies that they thought would continue evolving incrementally into the future.
