  • The Gospel of Matthew

    A Hypertextual Commentary

    by Bartosz Adamczewski ...
    Series Book 16 - European Studies in Theology, Philosophy and History of Religions
    This monograph presents an entirely new solution to the synoptic problem. It demonstrates that the Acts of the Apostles functioned as the structure-giving hypotext for the Gospel of Matthew. Accordingly, the Gospel of Matthew is a reworking of not only the Gospel of Luke, but also, in a strictly sequential way, of the Acts of the Apostles. This strictly sequential, hypertextual dependence on Acts ... Read more

    Series Book 5 - Nordeuropaeische Arbeiten zur Literatur, Sprache und Kultur / Northern European Studies in Literature, Language and Culture
    The story of Narcissus, who falls in love with his own image in a spring, has fascinated writers and thinkers ever since Ovid first gave poetical form to the myth in his Metamorphoses.

    Edited by Michaela Holdenried, Barbara Korte, Carlotta von Maltzan ...
    Series Book 128 - Jahrbuch fuer Internationale Germanistik - Reihe A
    Kriminalliteratur bietet seit längerem ein Forum für die Behandlung schon ‚klassischer‘ postkolonialer Themen. So lassen sich die ProtagonistInnen vielfach als hybride Subjekte beschreiben, und die Suche nach ‚historischer Wahrheit‘ bedarf einer anderen Substruktion als der einfachen Antithetik von Gut und Böse. Darüber hinaus sind die im Verschwinden begriffenen ehemals klar getrennten kolonialen ... Read more

    by Ryszard Nycz ...
    Translated by Tul’si Bhambry ...
    Series Book 49 - Literary and Cultural Theory

He demonstrates that these writers’ linguistic self-consciousness informs their ... Read more
