At a time when women were expected to stick to their household duties, according to Peter Matheson, Argula von Grumbach burst through every barrier. Matheson offers here a biography of the Reformation's first woman writer. Argula von Grumbach's first pamphlet in 1523 was reprinted all over Germany. Thousands of copies of her eight pamphlets appeared. Through her writing, von Grumbach defied her Bavarian princes (and her husband), denounced censorship, argued for an educated church and society, and developed her own understanding of faith and Scripture. She even intervened in the Imperial Diets at Nuremberg and Augsburg. Drawing for the first time on her correspondence, the author shows how von Grumbach paid dearly for her outspokenness but remained undaunted. Though some saw her as a she-devil and others as a harbinger of a new age, Matheson shows von Grumbach as a woman engaged in the life of the villages where she lived, as one motivated by the dreams she had for her children. In a time of sweeping change and risking everything for the light and truth she was given, Argula von Grumbach showed what the vision and determination of one person could achieve.

In 1523, in one of the most daring and remarkable events in the history of the Reformation, a woman challenged the Catholic establishment to a public debate. The issue was the persecution of a young Lutheran student in Ingolstadt.Argula von Grumbach's writings on this and many other topics were widely circulated: her first publication alone went through sixteen editions. She addressed the Catholic theologians of Ingolstadt, the Dukes of Bavaria and the Councils of Ingolstadt and Regensburg. She also met with and conducted an extensive correspondence with Luther, Osiander and many of the leading reformers.Professor Peter Matheson here provides translations of all her published works together with introductions. He gives a full biographical account of von Grumbach, analyses her use of Scripture and discusses her role as a woman of the Reformation.The rediscovery of Protestanism's first female theologian and author affords a wealth of new insight into the history of the Reformation; the role of women in Church, state and society; and a woman's use of Scripture, which in many ways anticipates the flowering of feminist theology today.

Le 20 octobre 1917 naissait Jean-Pierre Grumbach, alias Melville, l'un des plus grands cinéastes du xxe siècle. À l'occasion du centenaire de sa naissance, ce portrait en huit poses épouse les différentes faces, parfois contradictoires, souvent ambiguës, de la vie de cet homme insaisissable, à travers des recoupements féconds avec sa filmographie. Peu de livres existent sur Melville, réalisateur pourtant adulé à l'étranger, célébré en France, étudié à l'université. Ce beau livre sur son œuvre et sa vie, croisant ses archives personnelles et des photographies en grande partie inédites, est un document d'importance pour la transmission cinéphilique et le rayonnement de son travail. Un livre trouble et haletant comme un « film noir », chaque chapitre devenant un nouveau rebondissement de cette existence – de la jeunesse de Jean-Pierre Grumbach, son engagement dans la Résistance, à l'invention d'une figure mythique au stetson, de la construction des Studios Jenner à l'incendie de son temple du cinéma, du précurseur de la Nouvelle Vague au maître du « polar ». Un ouvrage pour comprendre celui qui, dans À bout de souffle, incarnant l'écrivain Parvulesco, répondait à la question de Jean Seberg « Quelle est votre plus grande ambition dans la vie? » par cette formule légendaire: « Devenir immortel. Et puis... Mourir. »

Here are, as Alice Rossi claims in her well-written preface, 'the essential works of feminism, ' published over a period of 200 years. Her introductions to each section are informative and written with nonpolemical grace. -- Doris Grumbach, New Republic

A now classic memoir, described by Doris Grumbach as "unusually elegant and meditative," once more available with an updated afterword by the author. Golden Prague seemed mostly gray when Patricia Hampl first went there in quest of her Czech heritage. In that bleak time, no one could have predicted the political upheaval awaiting Communist Europe and the city of Kafka and Rilke. Hampl's subsequent memoir, a brilliant evocation of Czech life under socialism, attained the stature of living history, and added to our understanding not only of Central Europe but also of what it means to be engaged in the struggle of a people to define and affirm themselves. Reissued now, during the tenth anniversary of that astonishing upheaval known as the Velvet Revolution, A Romantic Education includes an extensive updated afterword based on Hampl's annual return trips to Prague and the Czech countryside. Here is an excellent introduction to what was once the unknown "other Europe" behind the Iron Curtain and is now the continent's hottest new travel destination. Once again, as she did in a darker time, Hampl sees the texture beneath the surface of things and intuits the changing life of one of Europe's most bewitching cities. A Romantic Education is an exquisite journey into history and into the conundrum of personal memory
