Four new stories featuring the Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown: 1.1 The
Headless Ones by James Parsons and Andrew Stirling-Brown. When a
distress call from an unknown source threatens to rip the TARDIS
from the vortex, the Doctor and Peri arrive in nineteenth-century
Africa hoping to find the cause of the disturbance. Instead, they
meet a British expedition searching for a long lost tribe: the
B’lemyae… better known to the locals as the Headless Ones. 1.2
Like by Jacqueline Rayner. On the Earth colony world Rusina, the
populace strive to be popular. Likes lead to promotions, dislikes
leads to demotion – and more recently, something worse. So when
the Doctor investigates the truth behind their subscriber-led
society, he finds himself about to become very unpopular indeed.
1.3 The Vanity Trap by Stuart Manning. Myrna Kendal used to be a
Hollywood film star. Now she spends her life reminiscing on chat
shows but there is always one unfinished film she refuses to talk
about... at least until the TARDIS interrupts a TV interview, and
the Doctor and Peri’s appearance stirs up long-forgotten
memories. 1.4 Conflict Theory by Nev Fountain. Concerned by the
Doctor’s increasing over-protectiveness, Peri presents him with
an ultimatum: either they seek counselling or she leaves the TARDIS
permanently. Reluctant to lose one of his closest friends, the
Doctor seeks out one of the finest psychoanalysts in the universe:
Dr Sigmund Freud. Cast: Colin Baker (The Doctor), Nicola Bryant

Essays on the synthesis of the musical and literary arts in German
Romanticism. The interrelationship between music and literature
reached its zenith during the Romantic era, and nowhere was this
relationship more pronounced than in Germany. Many representatives
of literary and philosophical German Romanticism held music to be
the highest and most expressive, quintessentially Romantic art
form, able to convey what cannot be expressed in words: the
ineffable and metaphysical. The influence was reciprocal, with
literature providing a rich source of inspiration for German
composers of both instrumental and vocal music, giving rise to a
wealth of new forms and styles. The essays in this volume are
selected from papers presented at an international,
interdisciplinary conference held at University College Dublin in
December 2000, and include contributions from Germanists,
musicologists, comparatists, and performance artists. This
interdisciplinarity makes for informed and complementary approaches
and arguments. The essays cover not only the "Romantic" nineteenth
century (commencing with the early Romanticism of the Jena circle),
but also look ahead to the legacy, reception, and continuation of
German Romanticism in the modern and postmodern ages. Alongside new
readings of familiar and established writers and composers such as
Goethe, Hoffmann, Wagner, and Schubert, a case is made for other
figures such as Wackenroder, Novalis, Schlegel, Schumann, Brahms,
Liszt, and Berlioz, as well as less-known figures such as Ritter,
Schneider, and Termen, and for a reconsideration of questions of
categorization. The essays will appeal to readers with a wide
variety of academic, musical, and literary interests. Siobhan
Donovan is a Lecturer in the Department of German at University
College Dublin. Robin Elliott is Jean A. Chalmers Chair in Canadian
Music at the University of Toronto.
