In his 1987 work Paratexts, the theorist Gérard Genette established physical form as crucial to the production of meaning. Here, experts in early modern book history, materiality and rhetorical culture present a series of compelling explorations of the architecture of early modern books. The essays challenge and extend Genette's taxonomy, exploring the paratext as both a material and a conceptual category. Renaissance Paratexts takes a fresh look at neglected sites, from imprints to endings, and from running titles to printers' flowers. Contributors' accounts of the making and circulation of books open up questions of the marking of gender, the politics of translation, geographies of the text and the interplay between reading and seeing. As much a history of misreading as of interpretation, the collection provides novel perspectives on the technologies of reading and exposes the complexity of the playful, proliferating and self-aware paratexts of English Renaissance books.

In this book practitioner and researcher Louise Ann Wilson examines the expanding field of socially engaged scenography and promotes the development of scenography as a distinctive type of applied art and performance practice that seeks tangible, therapeutic, and transformative real-world outcomes. It is what Christopher Baugh calls 'scenography with purpose'. Using case studies drawn from the body of site-specific walking-performances she has created in the UK since 2011, Wilson demonstrates how she uses scenography to emplace challenging, marginalizing or 'missing' life-events into rural landscapes - creating a site of transformation - in which participants can reflect upon, re-image and re-imagine their relationship to their circumstances. Her work has addressed terminal illness and bereavement, infertility and childlessness by circumstance, and (im)mobility and memory. These works have been created on mountains, in caves, along coastlines and over beaches. Each case-study is supported by evidential material demonstrating the effects and outcomes of the performance being discussed. The book reveals Wilson's creative methodology, her application of three distinct strands of transdisciplinary research into the site/landscape, the subject/life-event, and with the people/participants affected by it. She explains the 7 'scenographic' principles she has developed, and which apply theories and aesthetics relating to land/scape art and walking and performance practices from Early Romanticism to the present day. They are underpinned by the concept of the feminine 'material' sublime, and informed by the attentive, autotopographic, therapeutic and highly scenographic use of walking and landscape found in the work of Dorothy Wordsworth and her female contemporaries. Case studies include Fissure (2011), Ghost Bird (2012), The Gathering (2014), Warnscale (2015), Mulliontide (2016), Dorothy's Room (2018) and Women's Walks to Remember: 'With memory I was there' (2018-2019).

"In this book practitioner and scholar Louise Ann Wilson examines the expanding field of socially engaged scenography and promotes the development of therapeutic scenography as an applied art form. Offering an account of her own practice combined with case studies drawing on artworks from Early Romanticism and the Land Art movement of the 1960s, Elena Brotherus (Finland), Tabitha Moses (UK) and Marina Abramovic's autobiographical walking-work The Lovers: The Great Wall Walk (1988, China), this is the first book on the emerging area of site-specific and therapeutic scenography. The book analyses how Wilson's interdisciplinary, site-specific walking-performances are created in rural landscapes and seek to emplace and transform a participant's experience of challenging life-events for which traditional rites of passage or ceremonies do not exist. The book explores the therapeutic effect of Wilson's practice, which becomes an instrument for personal and social change and can be understood as a form of applied performance practice. Case studies drawn from her own practice include Fissure (2011), The Gathering (2014), Warnscale (2015), Mulliontide (2016) and Women's Walks to Remember (2018). Each is illustrated and is supported by evidential material demonstrating the effects of the practice and research. Using this series of case studies, Wilson investigates how 'transformation' is achieved through an interdisciplinarily, three-tiered methodological process and the application of the concept of the feminine sublime, which she develops into six scenographic-led principles. These principles were informed by theories and aesthetics relating to landscape, pilgrimage, Early Romanticism, and a close study of the approach of Dorothy Wordsworth and her female contemporaries to landscape"--

This volume brings together innovative research on miracles in the Christian West 1100-1500, and includes chapters on Anglo-Norman saints' cults, late medieval Portugal and the legacy of medieval hagiography in the immediate post-Reformation period. Contributors investigate miracle narratives in conjunction with broader socio-cultural ideals, practices and developments in medieval society. They also reassess the legacy of Peter Brown, challenge established dichotomies such as 'medicine and religion', and examine relics, lay beliefs and the liturgical evidence of a saint's cult, moving beyond the traditional focus on canonization. Medical history features prominently alongside other approaches; these clarify the contexts of our sources, and demonstrate the methodological vibrancy in this field.
