Author: Dominic McHugh
language: en
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Release Date: 2018-02-01
Alan Jay Lerner wrote the lyrics for some of the most beloved musicals in Broadway and Hollywood history. Most notably, with composer Frederick Loewe he created enduring hits such as My Fair Lady, Gigi, Camelot, and Brigadoon. In The Complete Lyrics of Alan Jay Lerner, editors and annotators Dominic McHugh and Amy Asch bring all of Lerner's lyrics together for the first time, including numerous draft or alternate versions and songs cut from the shows. Compiled from dozens of archival collections, this invaluable resource and authoritative reference includes both Lerner's classic works and numerous discoveries, including his unproduced MGM movie Huckleberry Finn, selections from his college musicals, and lyrics from three different versions of Paint Your Wagon. This collection also includes extensive material from Lerner's two most ambitious musicals: Love Life, to music by Kurt Weill, and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, which Lerner wrote with Leonard Bernstein.
Juli Zeh

Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
Release Date: 2024-09-23
This volume casts a critical light on one of Germany’s bestselling and most controversial authors. Juli Zeh’s literary work is not only widely read in Germany, but also featured on high school and college syllabi both in Germany and abroad. In recent years and in the wake of the Covid 19 lockdowns, Zeh’s output has only increased, though her most recent work, Unterleuten (2016), Über Menschen (2021), and Zwischen Welten (2023; co-written with Simon Urban), has evolved away from the literary and philosophical thought that informed her more nuanced earlier work and towards a more conservative representation of contemporary social dynamics. While her work continues to garner prestigious awards, Zeh herself, who is an honorary judge at the Brandenburg constitutional court and a seemingly omnipresent public intellectual, has taken increasingly libertarian positions in recent political debates -- whether about Germany’s public health measures in response to the pandemic, or the country’s role in the Ukraine war. This volume traces the development and broad impact of Zeh’s writing while reflecting on the responsibility of the scholars who read and teach it to confront her ambiguous and sometimes troubling politics.
Song of Creation

Publisher: Trafford Publishing
Release Date: 2009-12
"Dear Friend, All creation and all of life, every aspect of it, sings a song. Some songs are glad, some sad. All invite us to meet the Singer! May you find Him in these pages." Song of Creation is a book of poetry that is accessible to the average reader, perhaps even to one who does not normally read poetry. The subjects of the poems are varied, including the revelation of God in nature and relationships, life observations, tributes to good people who have passed, and a little humor. There is a chapter devoted to the poetry of the author's mother, who is also a published poet. Poetic reflections from the author's mission travels to Eastern Europe are included. Many different poetic forms are evident, including some free verse and the simple Japanese art form, haiku. Though the book gives an intimate, transparent glimpse into the author's personal and family life, there is much that perhaps mirrors your own experience.
