Lyndal Roper Witch Craze: Terror And Fantasy In Baroque Germany
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Lyndal Roper
EAN: 9780300119831
Categoria: Libri e riviste
A powerful account of witches, crones, and the societies that make them\n\n From the gruesome ogress in Hansel and Gretel to the hags at the sabbath in Faust, the witch has been a powerful figure of the Western imagination. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries thousands of women confessed to being witches—of making pacts with the Devil, causing babies to sicken, and killing animals and crops—and were put to death. This book is a gripping account of the pursuit, interrogation, torture, and burning of witches during this period and beyond.\n\n Drawing on hundreds of original trial transcripts and other rare sources in four areas of Southern Germany, where most of the witches were executed, Lyndal Roper paints a vivid picture of their lives, families, and tribulations. She also explores the psychology of witch-hunting, explaining why it was mostly older women that were the victims of witch crazes, why they confessed to crimes, and how the depiction of witches in art and literature has influenced the characterization of elderly women in our own culture.

Lyndal Roper Living I Was Your Plague: Martin Luther's World And Legacy
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Lyndal Roper
EAN: 9780691205328
Categoria: Libri e riviste
From the author of the acclaimed biography Martin Luther: Renegade and Prophet, new perspectives on how Luther and others crafted his larger-than-life image\n\nMartin Luther was a controversial figure during his lifetime, eliciting strong emotions in friends and enemies alike, and his outsized persona has left an indelible mark on the world today. Living I Was Your Plague explores how Luther carefully crafted his own image and how he has been portrayed in his own times and ours, painting a unique portrait of the man who set in motion a revolution that sundered Western Christendom.\n\nRenowned Luther biographer Lyndal Roper examines how the painter Lucas Cranach produced images that made the reformer an instantly recognizable character whose biography became part of Lutheran devotional culture. She reveals what Luther's dreams have to say about his relationships and discusses how his masculinity was on the line in his devastatingly crude and often funny polemical attacks. Roper shows how Luther's hostility to the papacy was unshaken to the day he died, how his deep-rooted anti-Semitism infused his theology, and how his memorialization has given rise to a remarkable flood of kitsch, from \"Here I Stand\" socks to Playmobil Luther.\n\nLavishly illustrated, Living I Was Your Plague is a splendid work of cultural history that sheds new light on the complex and enduring legacy of Luther and his image.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOLFSON HISTORY PRIZE 2017 \nSHORTLISTED FOR THE ELIZABETH LONGFORD PRIZE 2017\n\n'A magnificent study of one of history's most compelling and divisive figures' Richard J. Evans\n\nWhen Martin Luther nailed a sheet of paper to the church door of a small university town in 1517, he set off a process that changed the Western world for ever.\n\nWithin a few years Luther’s ideas had spread like wildfire. His attempts to reform Christianity by returning it to its biblical roots split the Western Church, divided Europe and polarised people’s beliefs, leading to religious persecution, social unrest and war; and in the long run his ideas would help break the grip of religion on every sphere of life.\n\nYet Luther was a deeply flawed human being: a fervent believer tormented by spiritual doubts; a prolific writer whose translation of the Bible would shape the German language yet whose attacks on his opponents were vicious and foul-mouthed; a married ex-monk who liberated human sexuality from the stigma of sin but who insisted that women should know their place; a religious fundamentalist, Jew-hater and political reactionary who called ‘for the private and public murder of the peasants’ who had risen against their lords in response to his teaching. And perhaps surprisingly, the man who helped create in the modern world was not modern himself: for him the devil was not a figure of speech but a real, physical presence.\n\nAs an acclaimed historian, Lyndal Roper explains how Luther’s impact can only be understood against the background of the times. As a brilliant biographer, she gives us the flesh-and-blood figure. She reveals the often contradictory psychological forces that drove Luther forward and the dynamics they unleashed, which turned a small act of protest into a battle against the power of the Church.\n\nA New Statesman, Spectator, History Today, Guardian and Sunday Times Book of the Year

Annette Kehnel The Green Ages: Medieval Innovations In Sustainability
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Annette Kehnel
EAN: 9781800816251
Categoria: Libri e riviste
WINNER OF THE 2021 NDR BOOK PRIZE IN GERMANY \n\n'A must-read' Lyndal Roper, Regius Professor of History at Oriel College, Oxford\n\nFishing quotas on Lake Constance. Common lands in the UK. The medieval answer to Depop in the middle of Frankfurt.\n\nThese are all just some of the sustainability initiatives from the Middle Ages that Annette Kehnel illuminates in her astounding new book, The Green Ages. From the mythical-sounding City of Ladies and their garden economy to early microcredit banks and rent-a-cow schemes, Kehnel uncovers a world at odds with what we might think of as the typical medieval existence.\n\nPre-modern history is full of inspiring examples and concepts that open up new horizons. And we urgently need them as today's challenges - finite resources, the twilight of consumerism, growing inequality - threaten what we have come to think of as a modern way of living sustainably.\n\nThis is a revelatory look at the past that has the power to change our future.
