Christopher Marlowe - Park Honan - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Christopher Marlowe - Park Honan - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Christopher Marlowe: Poet & Spy is the most thorough and detailed life of Marlowe since John Bakeless''s in 1942. It has new material on Marlowe in relation to Canterbury, also on his home life, schooling, and six and a half years at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and includes fresh data on his reading, teachers, and early achievements, including a new letter with a new date for the famous ''putative portrait'' of Marlowe at Cambridge.The biography uses for the first time the Latin writings of his friend Thomas Watson to illuminate Marlowe''s life in London and his career as a spy (that is, as a courier and agent for the Elizabethan Privy Council). There are new accounts of him on the continent, particularly at Flushing or Vlissingen, where he was arrested. The book also more fully explains Marlowe''s relations with his chief patron, Thomas Walsingham, than ever before.This is also the first biography to explore in detail Marlowe''s relations with fellow playwrights such as Kyd and Shakespeare, and to show how Marlowe''s relations with Shakespeare evolved from 1590 to 1593. With closer views of him in relation to the Elizabethan stage than have appeared in any biography, the book examines in detail his aims, mind, and techniques as exhibited in all of his plays, from Dido, the Tamburlaine dramas, and Doctor Faustus through to The Jew of Malta and Edward II. It offers new treatments of his evolving versions of ''The Passionate Shepherd'', and displays circumstances, influences, and the bearings of Shakespeare''s ''Venus and Adonis'' in relation to Marlowe''s ''Hero and Leander''Throughout, there is a strong emphasis on Marlowe''s friendships and so-called ''homosexuality''. Fresh information is brought to bear on his seductive use of blasphemy, his street fights, his methods of preparing himself for writing, and his atheism and religious interests. The book also explores his attraction to scientists and mathematicians such as Thomas Harriot and others in the Ralegh-Northumberland set of thinkers and experimenters. Finally, there is new data on spies and business agents such as Robert Poley, Nicholas Skeres, and Ingram Frizer, and a more exact account of the circumstances that led up to Marlowe''s murder.

Military Victory Beyond the Battlefield - Mirko Palestrino - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Military Victory Beyond the Battlefield - Mirko Palestrino - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Military Victory Beyond the Battlefield rethinks hegemonic understandings of military victory as the outcome of war by focusing on the relationship between victory and time. While International Relations and War Studies increasingly recognise that the boundaries between war and peace are blurry, military victory is still conceptualised as an event that brings war to cessation and restores peace. Instead, this book argues that victory is a temporal, sense-making device. It shows that victory is produced just as much outside the battlefield as on it, during both wartime and peacetime. Palestrino demonstrates that the end of war has little to do with warfighting. Wars are made to end through a series of victory practices that seek to clearly mark a conflict''s temporal boundaries to convince key audiences of its definitive outcome. Analysing exhibitions of military tattoos, war memorials, commemoration rituals, doctrine manuals, history textbooks and videogames, this book shows that, as soon as we stop looking for victory in the usual places, a plurality of wartimes comes to the surface and the assumption that victory ends war is cast into doubt. It also shows that attending to these victory practices and their politics is important because they can appear to be peaceful yet conceal overlooked forms of violence. ABOUT THE SERIES: Voices in International Relations, published under the auspices of the European International Studies Association (EISA), furthers the development of research at the frontiers of International Relations (IR). It expands the remit of the field by including innovative scholarship that broadens key debates in the discipline, but it is more interested in reconfiguring such debates by approaching them from inside and outside the conventional core. Thematically, we aim to publish research that pushes the limits of IR conventionally defined from within and connects it to debates developing outside the discipline. We are committed to furthering diversity and inclusion in terms of authorship, location, topics and approaches from both inside and outside Europe. We have an inclusive approach to neighbouring disciplines, be it sociology, history, anthropology, geography, economics, political theory or law.Series editors: Debbie Lisle, Tanja Aalberts, Anna Leander, and Laura Sjoberg.Military Victory Beyond the Battlefield offers an innovative account of what victory means, explains victory''s conceptual, affective and international politics, and sheds light on understudied victory practices that straddle the lines between war and peace, politics and military strategy, narratives and materiality.

Security in Crisis - Columba Peoples - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Security in Crisis - Columba Peoples - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The concept of crisis is a recurrent staple in representations of modern forms of insecurity - from nuclear proliferation to cyber-security, armed conflict, the instability of political institutions, from pandemics to risks of social and financial collapse. Amidst this seeming ubiquity and ever-presence, the onset of climate and ecological emergencies as potential planetary-scale threats to the habitability of the Earth raise particularly urgent questions for how we conceive of and deal with crisis insecurity. How these forms of planetary insecurity come to be known, understood, and managed is thus of pressing importance. Security in Crisis seeks to provide an analysis of the complex combinations of political and technological understandings entailed in what it terms as ''planetary crisis management''. Arguing that the emergence, scope and scale of planetary insecurity and crisis management challenge traditional disciplinary boundaries of the study of International Relations and security, the book adopts an interdisciplinary outlook. It integrates ideas and approaches from across political theory and anthropology (on conceptions of crisis) including climate science and the wider study of environment and ecology in the ''Anthropocene'' (on planetary insecurities and ideas of geoengineering); science and technology studies (on the ''technopolitics'' of crisis management and the ''sociotechnical imagination'' of planetary futures); and critical security studies (on critical approaches to the international and to security). In the process, the book considers how technopolitical ''fixes'' for planetary crisis and emergency are often bound up with vexed questions of who ''we'' are, and what it means to imagine and secure a planetary future.ABOUT THE SERIES: Voices in International Relations, published under the auspices of the European International Studies Association (EISA), furthers the development of research at the frontiers of International Relations (IR).
