The thirteen short stories, written 1924SH28, are set in Europe and America and reflect Lawrence's experiences in the postwar period. Many were considerably revised; some were completely rewritten. The editors give composition histories and discuss publication difficulties. Appendixes record manuscript revisions for three stories and give complete, unpublished early versions of four. Notes elucidate literary allusions and give biographical information. An unpublished fragment, A Pure Witch, is also included.

D. H. Lawrence wrote his last novel, Lady Chatterley's Lover, three times in 1926-7, and it is the third version that has become famous. The three versions are in fact three different novels, varying greatly in length, a significant number of episodes, and even some of the main characters. This 1999 book contains a critical edition of the two early versions of the novel: the first in some ways the most realistic and spontaneous version, the second the longest and to many readers and critics the most successful version. The text is printed from its manuscript source, including numerous, sometimes extensive deletions and variations from the first printed editions. An introduction traces the genesis of the novel and gives an account of its publication and reception. There are also notes, explaining literary, historical and geographical names and allusions, and particular problems of manuscript transmission.

The phenomenon of variant versions plays an important role in editing practice, but it has never been systematically studied and described. The articles in this volume are the fruits of a conference engaging with variants from an interdisciplinary and international perspective. The theoretical and practical problems posed by this phenomenon are illustrated with reference to examples from a wide variety of epochs.

The intellectual scope and cultural impact of British and Irish writers in Europe cannot be assessed without reference to their 'European' fortunes. This collection of essays, prepared by an international team of scholars, critics and translators, record how D.H. Lawrence's work has been received, translated and interpreted in most European countries with remarkable, though greatly varying, success. Among the topics discussed in this volume are questions arising from the personal and frequently controversial nature of much of Lawrence's writings and the various ways in which translators from across Europe coped with the specific problems that the often regional, but at the same time, cosmopolitan Lawrencean texts pose.

This collection of essays attempts to address some problems of editorial theory and practice which its contributors have either encountered in their own work as practicing editors or as critical users of English editions. It also discusses more general questions, i.e. linguistic problems of editing, the problems of editing bilingual editions or school editions and the difficult economics of scholarly editions today. There are also essays on editing performance poetry, the waning impact of analytical bibliography, the role of teaching and learning editing as well as on the situation of editorial theory and practice among Anglicists in Germany. Several of the essays in this volume began their lives as papers for a workshop on "Editorial Problems" held at the annual meeting of the German 'Anglistentag' in Giessen in September 1997.

Shakespeare without Boundaries: Essays in Honor of Dieter Mehl offers a wide-ranging collection of essays written by an international team of distinguished scholars who attempt to define, to challenge, and to erode boundaries that currently inhibit understanding of Shakespeare, and to exemplify how approaches that defy traditional bounds of study and criticism may enhance understanding and enjoyment of a dramatist who acknowledged no boundaries in art. The Volume is published in tribute to Professor Dieter Mehl, whose critical and scholarly work on authors from Chaucer through Shakespeare to D. H. Lawrence has transcended temporal and national boundaries in its range and scope, and who, as Ann Jennalie Cook writes, has contributed significantly to the erasure of political boundaries that have endangered the unity of German literary scholarship and, more broadly, through his work for the International Shakespeare Association, to the globalization of Shakespeare studies.

English Description: The plague spread fear and terror for centuries - whole continents have been hit; even in the Bible or Homer's "Iliad" there are descriptions of the disease. Personal accounts, historical and fictional narratives as well as numerous artistic treatments from ancient to modern times show to what extent the Black Death is burned into cultural memory. Christa Jansohn elucidates how the plague was understood in a literary context in various eras using a number of lesser known, partly unpublished, English texts. What were the different meanings attributed to this disease? What additional research questions arise from it? Finally, the plague is still further reused and recoded as a metaphor in descriptions of the immune deficiency disease. Thus, the author shows how heterogeneous the representations of these diseases are in the English literature. German Description: Die Pest verbreitete uber Jahrhunderte Angst und Schrecken ganze Kontinente wurden heimgesucht: Schon in der Bibel oder Homers Ilias finden sich Beschreibungen der Seuche. Personliche Berichte, historische und fiktive Erzahlungen sowie zahlreiche kunstlerische Verarbeitungen vom Altertum bis zur Neuzeit zeigen, wie sehr sich der Schwarze Tod in das kulturelle Gedachtnis eingebrannt hat. Christa Jansohn erlautert nun anhand einer Reihe weniger bekannter, teils unpublizierter, englischer Texte, wie die Pest uber verschiedene Epochen im literarischen Kontext verarbeitet wurde: Mit welchen unterschiedlichen Sinnzuweisungen ist diese Krankheit befrachtet? Welche weiteren Forschungsfragen ergeben sie daraus? Schliesslich wird die Pest noch heute bei Beschreibungen der Immunschwachekrankheit AIDS als Metapher weiterverwertet und umcodiert. So zeigt die Autorin, wie heterogen die Darstellungen dieser Seuchen in der englischen Literatur sind.
