Here bestselling author Joyce Rupp offers us the spiritual assurance that God is always with us, a loving, enduring presence. On encountering God in Scripture she writes: One word or phrase from Scripture can leap out at me and draw me into spending time with the whisper of truth calling to me. In this brief moment of recognition I see that this stirring comes not from my human consciousness but from a deeper place where Wisdom dwells within me. These beautiful reflections are filled with hope and abiding faith in Gods presence.
"Long after his death in 1764, the artist William Hogarth is still our contemporary. Far from leading a confined existence in museums and academies, his legacy of vibrant images and provocative ideas remains a powerful source of inventiveness and inspiration for the artists of today, as once for those of yesterday, be it on page, stage, canvas or digital. After approaching the artist by way of his challenging aesthetic philosophy and his resistance to normative categories, this two-book set considers Hogarth's pioneering sense of performativity which made - and makes- him the interlocutor of actors and playwrights, from David Garrick to Bertolt Brecht or Nick Dear. While his conversations with film, television, graphic novel and modern art bear witness to the artist's almost prophetic use of images, the world of the novel, British and else, reveals unexpected areas of cross-pollination, particularly striking in the modernist age or present time narrative. Brimming as it is with energy, disorder, loss and empathy, Hogarth's contradictory universe of chaos and beauty is in tune with ours and resonates vividly with today's passions and struggles. The twenty-eight essays in this collection chart the teeming legacies of William Hogarth and explore the ways in which his works and ideas were - and still are - revisited and appropriated in the UK and across Europe in the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Hogarth is thus discovered as an unforgotten living presence, whose invigorating and challenging memory energizes multiple expressive forms, from drama to narrative, graphic novel or TV serials"--

This book comprises a selection of papers initially presented as a series of lectures organised by the Psychoanalytic Forum of the British Psychoanalytical Society. The aims of these lectures was to revisit Freud's key papers 'On Narcissism' (1914) and 'Mourning and Melancholia' (1917), and to look at how they are used in today's thinking about the different stages of life. The contributions, by well known clinicians and theoreticians in their respective fields, capture certain important themes which were put together with two main incentives in mind: firstly, to consider that mourning, depression and narcissism constitute the basic fabric of psychoanalytic theorizing. Secondly, the centrality of these concepts not only illustrate a particular way of understanding mental functioning but, by locating them at different stages of the individual development, offers a wider, more effective and at times different perspective.

In this wide-ranging and ambitiously conceived Research Companion, contributors explore Shakespeare’s relationship to the classic in two broad senses. The essays analyze Shakespeare’s specific debts to classical works and weigh his classicism’s likeness and unlikeness to that of others in his time; they also evaluate the effects of that classical influence to assess the extent to which it is connected with whatever qualities still make Shakespeare, himself, a classic (arguably the classic) of modern world literature and drama. The first sense of the classic which the volume addresses is the classical culture of Latin and Greek reading, translation, and imitation. Education in the canon of pagan classics bound Shakespeare together with other writers in what was the dominant tradition of English and European poetry and drama, up through the nineteenth and even well into the twentieth century. Second—and no less central—is the idea of classics as such, that of books whose perceived value, exceeding that of most in their era, justifies their protection against historical and cultural change. The volume’s organizing insight is that as Shakespeare was made a classic in this second, antiquarian sense, his work’s reception has more and more come to resemble that of classics in the first sense—of ancient texts subject to labored critical study by masses of professional interpreters who are needed to mediate their meaning, simply because of the texts’ growing remoteness from ordinary life, language, and consciousness. The volume presents overviews and argumentative essays about the presence of Latin and Greek literature in Shakespeare’s writing. They coexist in the volume with thought pieces on the uses of the classical as a historical and pedagogical category, and with practical essays on the place of ancient classics in today’s Shakespearean classrooms.
