  • Families and family law have encountered significant challenges in the face of rapid changes in social norms, demographics and political expectations. The Cambridge Companion to Comparative Family Law highlights the key questions and themes that have faced family lawyers across the world. Each chapter is written by internationally renowned academic experts and focuses on which of these themes are most significant to their jurisdictions. In taking this jurisdictional approach, the collection will explore how different countries have tackled these issues. As a result, the collection is aimed at students, practitioners and academics across a variety of disciplines interested in the key issues faced by family law around the world and how they have been addressed.

  • Bringing together original contributions from scholars around the world, this volume traces the history of travel writing from antiquity to the Internet age. It examines travel texts of several national or linguistic traditions, introducing readers to the global contexts of the genre. From wilderness to the urban, from Nigeria to the polar regions, from mountains to rivers and the desert, this book explores some of the key places and physical features represented in travel writing. Chapters also consider the employment in travel writing of the diary, the letter, visual images, maps and poetry, as well as the relationship of travel writing to fiction, science, translation and tourism. Gender-based and ecocritical approaches are among those surveyed. Together, the thirty-seven chapters here underline the richness and complexity of this genre.

The Cambridge History of Sixteenth-Century Music
  • Edited by Iain Fenlon, Richard Wistreich

  • Part of the seminal Cambridge History of Music series, this volume departs from standard histories of early modern Western music in two important ways. First, it considers music as something primarily experienced by people in their daily lives, whether as musicians or listeners, and as something that happened in particular locations, and different intellectual and ideological contexts, rather than as a story of genres, individual counties, and composers and their works. Second, by constraining discussion within the limits of a 100-year timespan, the music culture of the sixteenth century is freed from its conventional (and tenuous) absorption within the abstraction of 'the Renaissance', and is understood in terms of recent developments in the broader narrative of this turbulent period of European history. Both an original take on a well-known period in early music and a key work of reference for scholars, this volume makes an important contribution to the history of music.

  • Written by fourteen leading experts in the field, this Companion covers almost every aspect of the harpsichord - the history of the instrument, tuning systems, the role of the harpsichord in ensemble, its use in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and includes separate chapters devoted to Domenico Scarlatti, J. S. Bach and Handel. Chapters featuring almost every national style are written by authors with close connections to the countries about which they are writing, including England, The Netherlands, Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, France, Italy, Portugal and Spain, as well as the less extensive harpsichord traditions of Russia, the Nordic and Baltic countries, and colonial Spanish and Portuguese America. With musical examples, illustrations, a timeline of the harpsichord, and an appendix of composers, reliable editions and original sources, this book is for all who love the harpsichord, or want to learn more about it.

    The Cambridge Companion to Hermeneutics

  • Summary

    Toward the end of the eighteenth century, hermeneutic thought in Germany developed in close proximity to the emerging “idealist” and “romantic” philosophical movements inspired by the “critical philosophy” of Immanuel Kant. Crucially this was a time that witnessed the growth of interest in the structure of national languages and literatures, and the question was soon posed as to the relation between what Kant had postulated as the a priori structure governing an individual’s experience and thought and the structure of the actual language that that individual had assimilated from their cultural tradition. This chapter examines the emergence of the strong language-dependence thesis in the approach of the early hermeneutic thinkers Hamann and Herder, and their use of this idea to criticise the “purism” of Kantian thought. It then follows the ensuing response by Kant and his followers, especially Fichte and Hegel, as the latter attempted to bring a linguistic dimension to a Kantian inspired idealism. The issue of the relation of thought to language that was at the heart of this complexly developing debate has continued to be of philosophical concern up to the present.

  • 13 - Hermeneutics and Literature

  • Edited by Michael N. Forster, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, Kristin Gjesdal, Temple University, Philadelphia

    The Cambridge Companion to Hermeneutics

  • Summary

    Ancient hermeneutics, which generated allegorical interpretations of fables of the poets and biblical texts, played a significant role in the study literature until the Renaissance, and an interest in literature help to stimulate the foundation of philosophical hermeneutics in German romanticism and after, but philosophical hermeneutics has played little role in literary studies subsequently. Until the mid-twentieth century, literary criticism was primarily evaluative rather than interpretive, but when it made interpretation its goal, it did not draw on the tradition of philosophical hermeneutics. A discussion of the nature of literary criticism and of the relationship between hermeneutics and the poetics focuses on this history, with brief treatments of exceptions, such as the work of E. D. Hirsch and H. R. Jauss.
