TL;DR: The authors examines a selection of popular books on good language and etiquette in 20th-century Germany and questions whether the different political systems and ideologies that caused upheaval in Germany from the early 1920s to the mid-60s had a formative influence on conceptions of language and social skills.
Abstract: This volume examines a selection of popular books on good language and etiquette in 20th-century Germany. It questions whether the different political systems and ideologies that caused upheaval in Germany from the early 1920s to the mid-60s had a formative influence on conceptions of language and social skills. This unusual approach addresses a hitherto neglected area of research and makes an important contribution towards understanding the function of language in 20th-century Germany.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a sustained analysis of the characterizing dress worn by Chaucer's pilgrims who are in holy orders and/or affiliated with universities; they use approaches from a variety of disciplines (received criticism of late medieval literature, developments in political, economic and social history, the visual arts, and material culture) in order to present the complex ideas and rhetoric the pilgrims' dress expresses.
Abstract: Religious and academic dress in the middle ages functioned as a metaphorical signifier of spiritual and intellectual standards, implied a given social status, signalled the rejection or possession of garment wealth, and, in the details, suggested the wearer's spiritual state. This book presents the first sustained analysis of the characterizing dress worn by Chaucer's pilgrims who are in holy orders and/or affiliated with universities; the author uses approaches from a variety of disciplines (received criticism of late medieval literature, developments in political, economic and social history, the visual arts, and material culture) in order to present the complex ideas and rhetoric the pilgrims' dress expresses. She also makes the religious, intellectual, and material culture of Chaucer's day accessible to modern audiences through the reconstruction of the significance of fabrics, dyes, accessories, garments, and assembled costumes, and an explanation of technical details and specialist vocabularies for cloth-making, clothing, accessories, and their images in the visual arts.

TL;DR: A collection of sixteen essays from Hartman as discussed by the authors provides a wide-ranging and thorough perspective on recent approaches to Romanticism, including a new essay on Hartman's work and its lasting influence.
Abstract: Over the past four decades, Geoffrey Hartman's voice has been one of the most important and profound in contemporary literary theory. Most noted for his scholarship on Wordsworth and Romanticism, Hartman developed throughout his work an original conception of the relationship between literary and critical writing that is still considered a deeply significant contribution to the field. In The Wordsworthian Enlightenment, the most important contemporary critics of Romantic poetry and trauma reflect on Hartman's work and its lasting influence. This collection of sixteen essays-including a new essay from Hartman-provides a wide-ranging and thorough perspective on recent approaches to Romanticism.

TL;DR: This article argued that title-page markers of this kind have generic force, and that we would do well to acknowledge a taxonomy of subgenres not recognized before, and pointed out that the marks of elite forms such as the ode or the tragedy are retained when a title is cited.
Abstract: The marks of elite forms such as the ode or the tragedy are retained when a title is cited. Historians of the book have considered every marginal element of the early modern title-page: typeface and compositors' marks; printers' scrollwork and frontispiece design; authors' names and imprint. When it comes to the self-descriptions of vernacular prose, however, we casually dispose of such tags as 'A grand reproof…', 'A pious remonstrance…', 'A quiet rebuke…'. This essay argues that title-page markers of this kind have generic force, and that we would do well to acknowledge a taxonomy of subgenres not recognized before.
