Estigmas y desafíos contemporáneos en una sociedad desigual es una obra colectiva que, desde Adelphi University en Nueva York, introduce M. Pilar Martín. Los análisis que se presentan tienen las riquezas que permiten la localización geográfica de dos continentes -el americano y el europeo-, la interdisciplinariedad desde las diferentes disciplinas en las que se aborda -psicología, educación, sociología, salud, historia, geografía, filología, literatura-, el ámbito profesional -universitario, administración pública y sociedad civil. En la primera parte del libro, analizamos la violencia de género desde la percepción del personal técnico que trabajan con personas con diferentes capacidades en Andalucía, al sur de España. Cruzamos el océano y nos ubicamos en el Perú para detectar la problemática del personal técnico de los Centros de Emergencia Mujer CEM -Ministerio de la Mujer y Poblaciones Vulnerables, Programa Nacional contra la Violencia Familiar y Sexual- y hacer propuesta de soluciones desde las zonas geográficas en las que se divide el país -selva, costa, montaña y Lima capital-. En la segunda parte, se analizan las vacunas y el proceso de vacunación de la Covid-19 nuevamente en Andalucía España y terminamos con una reflexión acerca de las metáfora, enfermedad y diversidad funcional en la literatura en lengua inglesa.

The Reformation (1673), attributed to Joseph Arrowsmith, is an amusing satire on the libertine manners of the Stuart court. A group of young men in Venice set up a society to reform sexual mores “à la mode d’Angleterre” and liberate women from the tyranny of fathers and husbands. Described by a contemporary critic as “the Reverse to the Laws of Morality and Virtue”, the play was quickly withdrawn from the stage. The comedy also offers a burlesque portrait of Poet Laureate John Dryden, poking fun at his critical opinions and dramatic production. This is the firts critical edition of the play. The editors place it in its social and cultural context and present a fully annotated text, which enables today’s reader to enjoy and understand Arrowsmith’s lively picture of Restoration life.

This critical edition offers a fully annotated text and an introduction that places the comedy in its literary and theatrical context. The editors review Durfey’s career and his redefinition of the comedy of wit, veering towards the exemplary in line with the moral values of the new regime.
Henry Constable: The Complete Poems
(Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, University of Toronto Press, 2023) Pérez Jáuregui, María Jesús; Filología Inglesa (Literatura Inglesa y Norteamericana); HUM322: Estudios Medievales y Renacentistas Ingleses
Elizabethan poet Henry Constable (1562-1613), a Protestant-born Catholic convert, is a fascinating case study in how religious and political preoccupations could drive the learned across the unstable confessional divide. He threw over an early career of government service to work towards the return of England to the Catholic fold, and this dramatic change of course was accompanied by a turn to spiritual matters in his poetry. Under the weight of the Protestant-Whig narrative of English history, Constable was long dismissed as a minor poet, a Catholic traitor, or both, and his achievements have tended to be overlooked. His writings illustrate a journey through the confessional spectrum, revealing unresolved tensions between the public and the private, hope and disillusion, the secular and the religious. This book provides a new comprehensive critical edition of Constable's sonnets that returns to the primary sources -- some of them newly discovered. It rests on extensive first-hand collation, a concern with material aspects and the circumstances of textual production and transmission, and a sound grasp of the intellectual and cultural contexts. It offers readable, uncluttered texts alongside a complete textual apparatus and notes. Along with an updated biography and a study of the sonnet collections, the introduction provides an authoritative revision of the canon of Constable's poetry and an overview of its critical reception.
