Harry Berger has done it again. His ever-sharp vision has once more pierced through the opacities of plodding scholarship about the debates of Plato's Socrates about poets and their poetry. Yes, these poets and their defenders were foils for Plato, but they were in real life Socrates' most worthy intellectual match. Berger's portrait of Simonides as viewed by Protagoras is translucent-yet another masterpiece achieved by a true master of Platon...

Harrying considers Richard III and the four plays of Shakespeare's Henriad-Richard II, Henry IV Part 1, Henry IV Part 2, and Henry V. Berger combines close reading with cultural analysis to show how the language characters speak always says more than the speakers mean to say. Shakespeare's speakers try to say one thing. Their language says other things that often question the speakers' motives or intentions. Harrying explores the effect of thi...

1910 - Deutsche Kaiserzeit und Beginn des militärischen Werdegangs des jungen Fahnenjunkers und späteren Kompanieleutnants Arnold Vieth von Golßenau. Einer mühelosen Karriere steht scheinbar nichts im Wege, er nimmt sich und seinen Beruf sehr ernst, doch Männer wie Freiherr von Miltitz aus dem Königlich-Sächsischen Grenadier-Regiment geben ihm zu denken. Ist es der Sinn seines Lebens, in antiquierter Standesetikette zu erstarren wie viele sein...

This collection represents a decade of writing by a uniquely brilliant critic who combines intense sensitivity to textual nuance with extraordinary theoretical agility. Complex and sophisticated, these essays brim with thrills, gags, twists, and flashes. And Shakespeare's texts never quite read the same again."--Margreta de Grazia, University of Pennsylvania.

Shakespeare's two Venetian plays are dominated by the discourse of embarrassment. The Merchant of Venice is a comedy of embarrassment, and Othello is a tragedy of embarrassment. This nomenclature is admittedly anachronistic, because the term "embarrassment" didn't enter the language until the late seventeenth century.To embarrass is to make someone feel awkward or uncomfortable, humiliated or ashamed. Such feelings may respond to specific acts...

The thirteen chapters of the present book illustrate the range of his inquiry across several cultures and disciplines. They also demonstrate the interpretive richness, the theoretical acumen, and the energetic prose t...

Figures of a Changing World develops an account of culture change that is based on the distinction between the two rhetorical figures of metaphor and metonymy. These figures are applied both to the large-scale interpretation of tensions in culture change and to the micro-interpretation of tensions within particular texts.

Figures of a Changing World offers a dramatic new account of cultural change, an account based on the distinction between two familiar rhetorical figures, metonymy and metaphor. The book treats metonymy as the basic organizing trope of traditional culture and metaphor as the basic organizing trope of modern culture. On the one hand, metonymies present themselves as analogies that articulate or reaffirm preexisting states of affairs. They are g...

This brilliant book presents a carefully argued set of theses about Castiglione's Il libro del Cortegiano and Della Casa's Il Galateo that should have a significant impact not only on scholarship about these two books and the courtesy book tradition of the Renaissance, but on scholarship about the Renaissance in general."--Wayne A. Rebhorn, University of Texas, Austin "This book not only fulfills the long-standing need for a comprehensive stud...
