This book offers a new reading of early modern romance in the light of historically contemporary accounts of mind, and specifically the medical tradition of love-melancholy. The book argues that the medical profile of the melancholic lover provides an essential context for understanding the characteristic patterns of romance: narrative deferral, epistemological uncertainty, and the endless quest for a quasi-phantasmic beloved. Unlike many recent studies of romance, this book establishes a detailed historical basis for investigating the psychological structure of romance. Wells begins by tracing the development of the medical disorder first known in the Latin west as amor hereos (lovesickness) from its earliest roots in Greek and Arabic medicine to its translation into the Latin medical tradition. Drawing on this detailed historical material, the book considers three important early modern romances: Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, Tasso's Gerusalemme Liberata, and Spenser's The Faerie Queene, concluding with a brief consideration of the significance of this literary and medical legacy for Romanticism. Most broadly, the interdisciplinary nature of this study allows the author to investigate the central critical problem of early modern subjectivity in substantially new ways.

The Wound and the Witness offers a historically grounded approach to an urgent contemporary problem: the persistence of torture in Western culture. Drawing upon ancient Greek and Roman texts, as well as contemporary media events, Jennifer R. Ballengee explores the spectacle of torture as a persuasive device. She suggests that both torture and the witnessing of torture are forms of polemical writing, carried out on the body. The analysis combines close reading and philological study with a materialist cultural approach to ancient Greek theater, early Christian accounts of martyrdom, and recent political controversies over the interrogation tactics in the U.S. government-run Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib prisons. By incorporating key classical texts by Sophocles, Achilles Tatius, and Prudentius, the author demonstrates how deeply the ancient literature resonates with contemporary issues of the body, rhetoric, and the spectacle of pain.

This is the compelling story of how the author's disfiguring scars guided her search for a connection with her mother, who died at her birth and, ultimately, led to her own psychological development. In this process, the scars became the sacred jewels that illuminated the pathway of self-understanding. Movingly told from a Jungian point of view and in the intimate context of analysis, it is not only the autobiography of a person with a lifelong dedication to understanding the psyche, but also a portrayal of the unconscious as it reveals itself throughout the course of that person's life. As a journey of the soul, the book includes dreams, art work and active imagination-all ways of accessing the archetypal dimension underlying body symptoms. Ms. Rothenberg explains, through focused work, how body symptoms and physical illness can help us to discover our personal myth. In her case, the journey led her to Africa and a study of the art of scarification, during which she interviewed shamans who helped her unveil the symbolic and spiritual meaning behind her own physical and psychological scars. Rothenberg explores wounding in a way that opens us to healing. It is the tale of a life lived consciously and with great integrity. She includes a rich variety of art work, images of cultural artifacts, and pictures from her visits with shamans.

Deception to truth. I gave it all away to only discover that I already had what I had been searching for. You can be deceived and not know it. That’s what deceived means. You think that you are right when actually you are not. When you grow up from being sexually abused by someone who is supposed to love you and protect you it will leave you completely distorted until it is properly dealt with. Some may think that it would just be easier to hide it and try to pretend that it never happened but the truth of the matter it is still buried deep inside. It will torment you and cause you to think and do things that you wish you would not do. All the wishing in the world will not change what happened or change the past. But there is hope, there is an Answer. You can get free where the past will truly be your past and not continue to follow you wherever you go. When hidden matters get brought out into the Light, then they no longer have power over you! You can face it head on and deal with it once and for all. You do not have to do it alone. I have your Answer, the One you may be searching for!

Award-winning peace journalist Robert C. Koehler provocatively trespasses beyond consensus thinking and settled boundaries of conventional reporting, into the risky realms of secular spirituality and the human heart. In the process, he breaks down walls separating 'news' from caring.In Courage Grows Strong at the Wound, Koehler takes you on a journey that begins with his own grief ' losing his wife to cancer in 1998 ' through the events that shaped our young tumultuous century, culminating in the experience of an Iraq war veteran speaking at the Winter Soldier hearings in Washington, D.C., describing what it's like to look through the sights of a rifle at a six-year-old Iraqi boy. This spellbinding book is a plea for sanity and disarmament, a celebration of the wonder of life and a cry of faith in an empowering love that can save us. Koehler has received thousands of letters over the years from readers who were moved, sometimes to tears, by his piercing, prayerful essays.
