Synopsis

In "Main Currents in Nineteenth Century Literature - 6. Young Germany," Georg Brandes provides an incisive analysis of the literary movements emerging from Germany during the 19th century. The book is characterized by its scholarly rigor and dynamic prose, navigating through the contributions of key figures associated with the Young Germany movement, such as Heinrich Heine, Ludwig Boerne, and Georg Büchner. Brandes artfully critiques the interplay of realism, romanticism, and burgeoning existential inquiry that defined this period, while situating these writers within the broader currents of European thought and sociopolitical change. His exploration uncovers the complexities of cultural identity and the struggles against censorship that these authors faced, thus enriching the reader's understanding of how these factors shaped literary expression. Georg Brandes, a Danish literary critic and cultural historian, was instrumental in introducing modernist literary and philosophical ideas to the Scandinavian intellectual landscape. His deep engagement with continental thought and a commitment to social liberalism propelled him to explore the radical literary reformers of his time. Brandes believed in the transformative power of literature, seeing it as a catalyst for social change, which undoubtedly influenced his selection of the Young Germany movement as a focal point for this volume. "Main Currents in Nineteenth Century Literature - 6. Young Germany" is a must-read for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of this pivotal moment in literary history. Brandes's insightful interpretations and contextual analyses resonate with ongoing discourses in literary studies, making this work essential not only for scholars but also for general readers interested in the intersections of literature and society.

The Neurotic Character -...

Alfred Adler

As the 20th century drew to a close, the Austrian psychologist Alfred Adler (1870-1937) was perhaps the least known of the prominent figures of his time - in particular Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung - and yet he continues to be a figure of influence in the 21st century. His school of ‘individual psychology’ involved a holistic approach to the study of the individual, with a key focus on the way each person viewed the world, especially regarding their concerns of inferiority. This applied to both men and women in their different ways. The Neurotic Character is, as the editor of this modern translation states, 'Adler’s magnum opus - complex, profound and brilliant in its crystallised capture of the human soul gone astray.' 
 
Written in 1911, Adler continued to expand and develop his ideas over the following decades as he assimilated experience gained from his practice. It opens with the Theoretical Part, in which he introduces ‘The Origin and Development of the Inferiority Feeling and Its Effects', as well as ‘Psychic Compensation and Its Preparation’ and ‘The Accentuated Fiction as Guiding Idea in the Neurosis’. 
 
The second, major part of his work follows - the Practical Part. In this, Adler examines a wide range of issues, from ‘Greed and Distrust’, to the sexual causes and effects of inferiority. In the succeeding sections, he considers how suppressing everyday feelings and habits experienced by men and women in the course of their lives - issues such as impatience and dissatisfaction, cruelty, self-reproach - can all have profound effects on the individual. 
 
The writing is clear and supported by case studies providing a strong perspective of reality. It is not surprising that, as a result, it can be seen how strongly Adlerian ideas and views have influenced the practice of psychotherapy today. And that for all the apparent dominance of Freudian and Jungian doctrine in psychological and academic circles, the work of Alfred Adler should not be underestimated. This recording presents the new translation of The Neurotic Character, commissioned and edited by the Adlerian psychotherapist, Henry Stein, who provides a useful appendix - an introduction to classical Adlerian theory and practice.

These Divided Isles - Britain...

Philip Stephens

Ireland is Britain's closest neighbor—the sea crossing from Scotland measures only twelve miles. Ireland was also its first conquered territory in what became Britain's empire. The two nation's stories have been intertwined since Anglo-Norman invaders crossed the Irish Sea during the twelfth century. 
 
 
 
These Troubled Isles tells the extraordinary history of the past century in this tumultuous relationship, from the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1922 to the present day. This is a tale of deep division between Catholic nationalism and Protestant unionism, of wars and terrorist violence, and of occasional moments of great courage on the part of British and Irish leaders. 
 
 
 
Today, the post-Brexit weakening of the United Kingdom's constitutional ties has coincided with the march of demography in Northern Ireland as the Protestant unionist majority continues to shrink. Sinn Féin's historic string of electoral victories in Northern Ireland since 2022 has once more resurfaced the unfinished business of partition. Here, Philip Stephens explores how Ireland might escape its troubled past by deploying history to inform the future rather than hold it in place.

Right. I'm not sure it can get any steamier, but I'm certainly going to try. Which is to say, there's getting served in every hole and quite possibly some smattering of pee play and domination thrown into the mix, just for good measure. And soap.
