Paperback. Condición: Very Good. This wide-ranging collection reflects on the various motivations that caused the Folio to come into being in 1623, 7 years after Shakespeare's death, and on how the now iconic book has been continually reimagined after its initial publication to the present day. In honour of its original publication, Shakespeare's First Folio 1623-2023: Text and Afterlives brings together a remarkable set of ground-breaking essays by an international group of scholars. From the beginning, the publication that came to be called the 'First Folio' was defined by the tension between the book as text and the book as a material object. In this volume, the individual contributions move between these two meaningsin that they consider precursors to the First Folio in the form of reader-assembled volumes; the poetic identity of Shakespeare; and how misfortunes and successes in the early modern printing house shaped Shakespeare's text. Chapters examine the unpredictable and often surprising subsequent histories of the book that has even been given a sacred status and become the basis of Shakespeare's unique position in the history of literature. They consider: the afterlife of the text, in relation to the reception of Shakespeare's First Folio in Spain; its presence in and influence on James Joyce's Ulysses; the role that Meisei University of Japan's Shakespeare Collection has played in the education and research of the institution; and what the collection of 82 copies at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, tells us about the ongoing role of these books within the study of Shakespeare and the early modern period.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The darkness has been patient. Now it's hungry.Centuries ago, a Spanish mission stood as a sanctuary of light against an ancient evil. In a single night, a demoness known as the Dark Rose and her Brotherhood reduced it to ash. A dying priest buried his final testament beneath the rubble - a warning for whoever would come next.That night cost more than one man his life. The ancestors of South Point's founding families stood alongside Father Ramirez - and paid the same price. For generations since, angels and demons have fought over this contested ground, control passing back and forth like a tide that never fully retreats. The retiring pastor carries that history in his bloodline. His roots run to the founding of the city - and to a battle that has never truly ended.With no heirs to carry on his legacy, the senior pastor recruited Bo Ostermon to serve alongside him and eventually lead the congregation forward. Bo brings his family and a deep, unshakeable faith. The church's missionary team has long tended to a nearby orphan camp - a humble outpost of compassion that has quietly grown over the years. But darkness doesn't ignore the innocent for long, and the evil presence hovering over the camp grows bolder with every passing season.South Point carries a wound that runs deeper than anyone knows. Strange disappearances. Fractured families. A spiritual sickness silently spreading like termites through the foundation of an old house. And a corrupt sheriff and a mayor who looks the other way - willing to use blackmail, drugs, and violence to destroy anyone who threatens their grip on the town.Help arrives. If you can call a wounded amnesiac, a stray dog no one in town will claim, and a terrified teenage girl who has miraculously escaped a trafficking ring intent on selling her into darkness. Their arrival is no coincidence. The Stronghold has been waiting for them.Before Bo can settle into his calling, he finds himself entangled in a web of evil that reaches further and deeper than anything he could have imagined. Lucifer himself has dispatched three veteran demon lords to hold The Stronghold at any cost - and the angelic host has been tasked to take it back. South Point is about to become a battlefield visible to very few - but felt by everyone.THE STRONGHOLD is an epic spiritual warfare thriller that pulls back the veil between the visible and invisible worlds - revealing a war fought not just with supernatural power, but with courage, loyalty, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond of a community that refuses to fall.For fans of Frank Peretti, Ted Dekker, and Tosca Lee. For readers who believe the unseen world is more real - and more dangerous - than anyone dares to admit.What begins here doesn't end here. The Stronghold Series spans fourteen books - an unfolding war between darkness and light that grows deeper, darker, and more personal with every volume, built upon a J.R.R.
