Twelve papers from the 1996 conference of the British Archaeological Association at Bristol University.

Given the growing disenchantment, on all sides, with the 'high theory' of the 1970s and 1980s, and with the dominant master-trope of literary and cultural reflexion of the 1980s and 1990s, the extended metaphor or 'allegory', this volume offers a re-examination of what, according to Goethe, is a deeper mode of understanding the symbol.

Ignored for many years, the archaeology of the Tripillia/Tripolye sites found in modern Ukraine and Moldova can make important contributions to a discussion of scale and settlement nucleation in prehistoric Eurasia and to the interpretation of how such massive agglomerations may have functioned.

One of many writers inspired by Laurence Sternes Tristram Shandy, the German novelist Jean Paul Richter coined the term Shandean humour in his work of aesthetic theory.

The essays in this volume are devoted to the art and architecture of Munster, one of the four ancient provinces of Ireland. A major theme underpinning many of the essays is the degree to which Irish craftsmen and builders engaged with the rest of Europe, and the nature of their relationship with English practice.

This book addresses the selection and qualification of corrosion resistant alloys for use in oil and gas field production facilities that handle raw and partly processed reservoir fluids at, and below, reservoir temperatures.

The demographic composition of cemeteries, burial rites and mortuary behaviour are considered alongside the political and landscape context of burial. This volume brings together a series of studies concerned with aspects of the archaeology of burial in early medieval England and Wales during the period AD 400-1100.

The sixteenth century was an exciting period in the history of European theatre. In the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, France, Germany and England, writers and actors experimented with new dramatic techniques and found new publics.

Since the revelation of Iris Murdoch's (1919-1999) affair with Elias Canetti (1905-1994), scholarship on their relationship has been largely biographical, focusing in particular on Canetti's alleged role as the real-life model for some of Murdoch's most invidious protagonists.

Since unification, German culture has experienced a boom in discourses on generation, family and place. Linda Shortt reads this as symptomatic of a wider quest for belonging that mobilises attachment to counter the effects of postmodern deterritorialisation and globalisation.

This study adopts neither of those approaches and deals with the reception of Fedor Dostoevskii in Britain from a double perspective.

This book brings together essays and reviews that Malcolm Bowie published in journals and collective volumes but did not subsequently use as chapters in his books. It reflects Malcolm's love and knowledge of music, the fine rhythms and patterns of his style, and his liking for brief forms.

Traces the development of "impegno" (political commitment) in post-war Italian prose literature using the metaphor of fragmentation: the monolithic notion of commitment to an overarching political agenda has splintered, facilitating a fragmentary attention to specific issues.

Dante and Epicurus seem poles apart. Dante, a committed Christian, depicted in the Commedia a vision of the afterlife and God's divine justice. Epicurus, a pagan philosopher, taught that the soul is mortal and that all religion is vain superstition. And yet Epicurus is, for Dante, not only the quintessential heretic but an ethical ally.

Stendhal's most independent heroines are usually disliked or marginalized by critics. However, when gender-neutral criteria are applied, Mina de Vanghel, Vanina Vanini, Mathilde de La Mole, and Lamiel can all be shown to enact extraordinary experiments in freedom.

The nineteenth century realist author was a contradictory figure. He was the focus of literary criticism, but obscured his creative role by insisting on presenting his works as copies of reality. He was a celebrity who found himself subservient to publishers and the public, in a newly-industrialised literary marketplace.

French philosophical and scientific writers of the early modern period made various use of forms of narrative language that aims to tell a story in their texts. Equally, authors of fiction often sought to appropriate the language and tools of philosophical and scientific investigation.
