Sonst gut und sauber. - Throughout his work, Ben Jonson referred -JL to writing in terms of ingestion, digestion, and excretion, mimicking the functions of the digestive tract. In The Fury of Mens Gullets, Bruce Boehrer explores the poets fascination with alimentary matters and the way in which such references describe Jonsons personal and cultural transformation. Drawing on the theoretical work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, the author studies the alimentary and convivial language in Jonsons work. He suggests that these pervasive metaphors provided the poet with a vocabulary for addressing issues of patronage and friendship, literary production and consumption, and social inclusion and exclusion. Boehrer demonstrates that Jonsons own biography reflects a kind of reverse digestion: whereas his childhood home was situated over a sewage canal, his career culminated in the royal banquet hall, where his masques entertained the court during meals. From dunghill to dining hallyjonsons life was one of constant transformation. Boehrer contends that the poets preoccupation with food and digestion also reflected contemporary systems of ritual and regulation of dietary activities. Separate chapters concentrate on the protocols of dining in a culture that valued both moderation and excess; Jonsons language of table manners and its classical roots; his representation of the emergent literary profession as a digestive process; and his scatological writings, which mirrored social concern over public cleanli- I ness, waste disposal, and sanitation. In his wide-ranging examination of Jonsons plays, prose, and nondramatic verse, Boehrer discusses the sociohistorical significance of food, the politics of conspicuous consumption, the infrastructure of Jacobean London, and pertinent aspects of Renaissance medical practice and physiological theory. The Fury of Mens Gullets uniquely interprets Jonsons | construction of early modern English literary sensibility.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - After completing his conquest of the Persian empire, Alexander the Great maneuvered his army across the Hindu Kush and into India. During his two years there, he traveled from dry frigid mountains to humid tropical lowlands and then back across one of the most punishing deserts on the planet. He fought a series of desperate battles against strange foes mounted on war-elephants, suffering wounds that nearly killed him. And when he eventually turned homeward, he brought with him specimens of a rare, magical species, a bird that could speak with a human voice. Introduced to Europe by Alexander, parrots were quickly embraced by Western culture as exotic and astonishing, full of marvelous powers, and close to the gods. Over the centuries they would become objects of veneration or figures of folly, creatures prized for their wit--or their place on the dinner table. Ultimately, they would become emblematic of the West's interaction with the world at large. Identifying a deeply rooted obsession with these beautiful and loquacious birds, Bruce Thomas Boehrer provides the first account of parrots and their impact on the Western world. Parrot Culture: Our 2500-Year-Long Fascination with the World's Most Talkative Bird traces the unusual history of parrots from their introduction in the Graeco-Roman world as items of oriental luxury, through the great age of New World exploration, to the contemporary ecological crisis of globalism. Boehrer identifies the poignant irony in the way parrots became ubiquitous as symbols and mascots, while suffering near extinction at the hands of those who desired them. Exploring their presence and meanings in the art, literature, and history of Western civilization, Parrot Culture also celebrates the beauty, intelligence, and personality of these birds, whose fate will say as much about us and the world we have created as it will about them.
