Libro Thomas Durfey’s «Love for Money, or The Boarding School» (1691): A Critical Edition(Peter Lang, 2023) Gómez Lara, Manuel José; Mora, María José; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Filología Inglesa (Literatura Inglesa y Norteamericana)Thomas Durfey’s Love for Money (1691) uses a boarding school in Chelsea as the setting for an amusing series of love intrigues. Characters include a long-lost heiress and her impoverished suitor, a mercenary jilt, a libertine rake with a touch of the gull, a bragging French coxcomb, and two hoydenish romps courted by fortune-hunting schoolmasters with treats of custard and cheesecake. An imperious plotting lady, together with her henpecked husband and her rascal lover, provide timely anti-Jacobite satire. 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.Libro Henry Constable: The Complete Poems(Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, University of Toronto Press, 2023) Pérez Jáuregui, María Jesús; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Filología Inglesa (Literatura Inglesa y Norteamericana); Universidad de Sevilla. HUM322: Estudios Medievales y Renacentistas InglesesElizabethan 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.
