In this first serious study of Hanshan (“Cold Mountain”), Paul Rouzer discusses some seventy poems of the iconic Chinese poet who lived sometime during the Tang dynasty (618–907). Hanshan’s poems gained a large readership in English-speaking countries following the publication of Jack Kerouac’s novel The Dharma Bums (1958) and Gary Snyder’s translations (which began to appear that same year), and they have been translated into English more than any other body of Chinese verse. Rouzer...

In this important study Ernst Cassirer analyzes the non-rational thought processes that go to make up culture. He demonstrates that beneath both language and myth there lies an unconscious «grammar» of experience, whose categories and canons are not those of logical thought. He shows that this prelogical «logic» is not merely an undeveloped state of rationality, but something basically different, and that this archaic mode of thought still has enormous power over even our most rigorous thought,...

Die pure Angst und Verzweiflung trieb sie an, als sie mitten im dunklen Wald in der Kälte aufwachte. Hilflos irrte die junge Frau durch das Gehölz, begleitet von den zahllosen Schatten der seelenlosen Bewohner. Plötzlich erstarrte sie, als die Dunkelheit über ihre Haut kroch. Irgendjemand oder besser irgendetwas beobachtete sie bereits seit längerer Zeit und wartete nur auf den richtigen Moment. Sie war nichts anders, als seine Beute, die er mit blutiger Spur durch den Wald

It is a manifesto in the sense that it invites strong declarations and big ideas, rather than impeccable small contributions to edifices long under construction.� Known for her timely challenges to the preconceptions and often unquestioned boundaries that...

Henry Fielding's Tom Thumb plays drew packed crowds, while public exhibitions advertised male dwarfs as paragons of English masculinity. Bawdy popular poems featured diminutive men paired with enormous women, and amateur scientists anthropomorphized and gendered the «minute bodies» they observed under their fashionable new pocket...

In this anthology first published in 1974, Frank Chin, Jeffery Chan, Lawson Inada, and Shawn Wong reclaimed that shout, outlining the history of Asian American literature and boldly drawing...

When Flowers of Evil was first published in 1857, the book almost immediately became the subject of an obscenity trial, and for several generations afterward its themes of eroticism, lesbianism, revolt and decay earned the author a reputation for depravity and morbidity. It was not until 1949 that the French courts removed the ban originally imposed on Baudelaire's masterpiece.Today, Flowers of Evil is regarded as the poet's greatest work and perhaps the most influential book of French...
