Most anthologies of Renaissance writing include only (or predominantly) male writers, whereas those that focus on women include women exclusively. This book is the first to survey both in an integrated fashion. Its texts comprise a wide range of canonical and non-canonical writing -- including some new and important discoveries. The texts are arranged so that writing by women and men is presented together, not in a "point-counterpoint" system that would "square off" female and male writers against one another, but rather in pairs, sometimes clusters, of texts in which women's writing is foregrounded even as it appears with writing by men. The anthology arranges recently recovered texts into intriguing patterns, juxtaposing, for example, Aemelia Lanyer's country house poem with an expression of a different type of nostalgia by Surrey. It includes unconventional voices, as in the homoeroti

This work provides an account of culture in an age of globalization. Ulf Hannerz argues that, in an ever-more interconnected world, national understandings of culture have become insufficient.

Klassisk og moderne samfundsteori er en første indføring i de forskellige samfundsteoretiske traditioner og de dertil knyttede begreber. Hovedvægten er lagt på de samfundsteorier, der udvikles fra og med nationalstatens konsolidering og industrialisme, mens kapitalismens gennembrud - dvs. med udgangspunkt i de fem klassikere Karl Marx, Herbert Spencer, Emile Durkheim, Max Weber og Georg Simmel - og frem til i dag, hvor sociologiske tænkere som bl.a. Jürgen Habermas, Pierre Bourdieu, Niklas Luhmann og Anthony Giddens præger udviklingen. Klassisk og moderne samfundsteori præsenterer og gennemgår de enkelte teoriers baggrund og grundideer. Hvert kapitel indeholder endvidere korte biografiske oplysninger om teoriernes ophavsmænd samt en oversigt over nøglebegreber og definitioner.
