Paperback. Condition: New. This is the first major anthology of contemporary German-language poetry in English for more than 40 years. As Nicola Thomas says in her Introduction:"English-language readers have relatively few opportunities to encounter contemporary German-language poetry; the simple purpose of this anthology is to offer one such opportunity, in the form of a selection of recent poems translated from the German for an English-language audience. It has been noted that the last twenty or so years have been a moment of great vitality for the German-language lyric, much of the excitement of which has passed English-speaking countries by, for want of translations, and particularly for want of a selection of translated works gathered in one place. It is our hope that the poems presented here speak largely for themselves: that they offer range and variety, something for (almost) everyone, that they make visible some lines of connection in terms of form, style and theme-and, above all, that they show English-speaking readers a glimpse of the vibrancy of the German-language lyric in the first part of the twenty-first century." The selection of poets owes much to the tutelary spirits of three senior figures: Elke Erb, Friedrike Mayroecker, and Thomas Kling, without whom the landscape of current writing in German is unthinkable.Authors featured are Yevgeniy Breyger, Sonja vom Brocke, Alexandru Bulucz, Carolin Callies, Ann Cotten, Ulrike Draesner, Oswald Egger, Elke Erb, Daniel Falb, Christian Filips, Dincer Gucyeter, Martina Hefter, Jayne-Ann Igel, Hendrik Jackson, Thomas Kling, Dagmara Kraus, Birgit Kreipe, Nadja Kuchenmeister, Jan Kuhlbrodt, Georg Less, Friederike Mayroecker, Christoph Meckel, Steffen Popp, Kerstin Preiwuss, Monika Rinck, Ulrike Almut Sandig, Sabine Scho, Daniela Seel, Verena Stauffer, Ulf Stolterfoht, Sebastian Unger, Anja Utler, Peter Waterhouse, and Uljana Wolf.Translators are Shane Anderson, Kurt Beals, Paul-Henri Campbell, Aimee Chor, Brian Currid, Andrew Duncan, Joshua Daniel Edwin, Christopher Fenwick, Gerald Fiebig, Iain Galbraith, Robert Gillett, Nicholas Grindell, Catherine Hales, Christian Hawkey, Jayashree Hari Joshi, Alexander Kappe, Karen Leeder, Grace Nissan, Caroline Reul, Bradley Schmidt, Jake Schneider, Joel Scott, Sophie Seita, Donna Stonecipher, Nicola Thomas, Amy Visram and Jana Maria Weiss.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Die Position, das frühe Christentum sei eine "Unterschichtenreligion" gewesen, ist sicher überholt. Doch inwieweit sich Angehörige der sozialen Elite dem neuen Glauben zuwandten, bleibt heiß umstritten. Ein breiter Konsens der Forschung spricht sich gegen die Annahme aus, dass bereits unter den frühen Christen Angehörige der führenden Stände, also des ordo senatorius oder eines lokalen ordo decurionum, zu finden gewesen wären. Die Quellen geben aber durchaus Hinweise auf Senatoren oder lokale Amtsträger unter den Christen des 1. Jahrhunderts. Insbesondere drei Einzelpersonen werden in dieser Arbeit ausführliche Studien gewidmet: Sergius Paullus, Prokonsul von Zypern; Dionysios, Mitglied des athenischen Areopags; Erastus, "Stadtkämmerer" in Korinth. Handelt es sich bei ihnen um plausible Kandidaten für christliche ordo-Angehörige des 1. Jahrhunderts, bliebe nach den Motiven für ihre Hinwendung zum Christentum zu fragen. Sozialen Gewinn, so eine häufige Erklärung, hätten diese hochangesehenen Personen jedenfalls nicht zu erwarten gehabt. …
