Women in Mycenaean Greece The Linear B Tablets from Pylos and Knossos

Women in Mycenaean Greece The Linear B Tablets from Pylos and Knossos

Women in Mycenaean Greece is the first book-length study of women in the Linear B tablets from Mycenaean Greece and the only to collect and compile all the references to women in the documents of the two best attested sites of Late Bronze Age Greece - Pylos on the Greek mainland and Knossos on the island of Crete. The book offers a systematic analysis of women’s tasks holdings and social and economic status in the Linear B tablets dating from the 14th and 13th centuries BCE identifying how Mycenaean women functioned in the economic institutions where they were best attested - production property control land tenure and cult. Analysing all references to women in the Mycenaean documents the book focuses on the ways in which the economic institutions of these Bronze Age palace states were gendered and effectively extends the framework for the study of women in Greek antiquity back more than 400 years. Throughout the book seeks to establish whether gender practices were uniform in the Mycenaean states or differed from site to site and to gauge the relationship of the roles and status of Mycenaean women to their Archaic and Classical counterparts to test if the often-proposed theories of a more egalitarian Bronze Age accurately reflect the textual evidence. The Linear B tablets offer a unique if under-utilized point of entry into women’s history in ancient Greece documenting nearly 2000 women performing over fifty task assignments. From their decipherment in 1952 one major gap in the scholarly record remained: a full accounting of the women who inhabited the palace states and their tasks ranks and economic contributions. Women in Mycenaean Greece fills that gap recovering how class rank and other social markers created status hierarchies among women how women as a group functioned relative to men and where different localities conformed or diverged in their gender practices. | Women in Mycenaean Greece The Linear B Tablets from Pylos and Knossos

The Poems of W. B. Yeats Volume Two: 1890-1898

The Poems of W. B. Yeats Volume Two: 1890-1898

In this multi-volume edition the poetry of W. B. Yeats (1865–1939) is presented in full with newly-established texts and detailed wide-ranging commentary. Yeats began to write verse in the nineteenth century and over time his own arrangements of poems repeatedly revised and rearranged both texts and canon. This edition of Yeats’s poetry presents all his verse both published and unpublished including a generous selection of textual variants from the many manuscript and printed sources. The edition also supplies the most extensive commentary on Yeats’s poetry to date explaining specific references and setting poems in their contexts; it also gives an account of the vast range of both literary and historical influences at work on the verse. The poems are presented in order of composition and major revisions or rewritings of poems result in separate inclusions (in chronological sequence) for these writings as they were subsequently reconceived by the poet. In this second volume the poems of Yeats’s early maturity emerge in the contexts of his engagement with Irish history and myth along with nationalist politics; his increasing involvement with ritual magic and esoteric lore; and his turbulent often unhappy personal life. The poems of The Countess Kathleen and Various Legends and Lyrics (1892) reveal a poet of intense narrative power and metaphorical resource adept at transforming miscellaneous sources into haunting and original poems. A major revision of his earlier narrative ‘The Wanderings of Oisin’ takes place in this decade when Yeats is also taken up with the composition of elaborate and uncanny symbolic lyrics many of them resulting from his love for Maud Gonne that are finally collected in The Wind Among the Reeds (1899). This edition makes it possible to trace in detail Yeats’s debts to folklore and magic alongside his involved and often difficult private and public life in poetry of exceptional complexity and power. | The Poems of W. B. Yeats Volume Two: 1890-1898

The Soviet Empire Reconsidered Essays In Honor Of Adam B. Ulam

The Soviet Empire Reconsidered Essays In Honor Of Adam B. Ulam

The demise of any empire provides an occasion for fresh examination of longaccepted truths about its history and its intrinsic nature: What set this particular empire apart from others? Why did it develop in the way that it did? Could events have taken a different path? What legacies has the empire left to its heirs? In this volume eminent scholars reflect on the unique and central features of the Soviet empire during its period of consolidation in Europe and speculate on the long-term effects of its collapse. They reconsider subjects that have absorbed Adam Ulam's attention in his own work—the ideologies of central planning of totalitarianism and state terror at home and of intervention abroad—and explore their impact on the people who lived under Soviet power at its apogee. They also analyze the unraveling of the system on the domestic scene in elite and grassroots politics and in the international arena. Concluding chapters focus on the configuration of new domestic and foreign policies and on prospects for security and cooperation in the region. | The Soviet Empire Reconsidered Essays In Honor Of Adam B.

Jungian Analysis Depth Psychology and Soul The Selected Works of Thomas B. Kirsch

Jungian Analysis Depth Psychology and Soul The Selected Works of Thomas B. Kirsch

Thomas Kirsch is one of the foremost architects of the contemporary Jungian scene and has influenced the evolution and organization of analytical psychology worldwide. His works on the history of Jungian analysis and his memoir of a Jungian life have been widely appreciated and this book contains important examples of these interests. Gathered together in The Selected Works are Kirsch’s original and humane contributions to diverse areas such as: training and the dynamics of analytical institutions; clinical themes in Jungian analysis and how these differ from what typically happens in psychoanalytic treatment; as well as a continuation of his remarkable work into the personalities and prejudices that characterize the profession of Jungian analysis. As Andrew Samuels observes in his foreword In these chapters we see Tom’s humanity generosity and flexibility. Given the multifarious dynamics of the training community Kirsch accepts that things can sometimes go wrong and he is open about his experiences in this regard. For Kirsch rather than a simple question of psychologically damaged people becoming analysts the figure of the Wounded Healer is always present in depth psychology. Kirsch is an exceptionally gifted communicator and several of these chapters stem from lectures and conference presentations. However behind the appearance of informality emerges not only a formidable intellect at work but a warm and compassionate perspective on the human condition. The Selected Works will be of vital interest to analysts therapists trainees academics and students working in the areas of Jungian analysis and Jungian studies around the world. | Jungian Analysis Depth Psychology and Soul The Selected Works of Thomas B.
