The Time of Unrememberable Being

Wordsworth and the Sublime, 1787-1805

By: Klaus P. Mortensen

This study views the early work of William Wordsworth as partaking in a general Western European cultural movement in which the realm of the numinous is translocated from heaven to earth -- grand Nature -- and from there further on into Man's inner Nature. In this metaphysical implosion the concept of the Sublime gradually comes to signify the mental, godlike powers of Man.

Diet, Nutrition, and Foodways on the North Coast of Peru

Bioarchaeological Perspectives on Adaptive Transitions

By: Bethany L. Turner,Haagen D. Klaus

This book synthesizes in-depth bioarchaeological research into diet, subsistence regimes, and nutrition—and corresponding insights into adaptation, suffering, and resilience—among indigenous north-coastal Peruvian communities from early agricultural through European colonial periods. The Spanish invasion and colonization of Andean South America left millions dead, landscapes transformed, and traditional ways of life annihilated. However, the nature and magnitude of these changes were far from uniform. By the time the Spanish arrived, over four millennia of complex societies had emerged and fallen, and in the 16th century, the region was home to the largest and most expansive indigenous empire in the western hemisphere. Decades of Andean archaeological and ethnohistorical research have explored the incredible sophistication of regional agropastoral traditions, the importance of food and feasting as mechanisms of control, and the significance of maritime economies in the consolidation of complex polities. Bioarchaeology is particularly useful in studying these processes. Beyond identifying what resources were available and how they were prepared, bioarchaeological methods provide unique opportunities and humanized perspectives to reconstruct what individuals actually ate, and whether their diets changed within their own lifespans.

The time of unrememberable being. Wordsworth og det sublime 1787-1805

By: Klaus P. Mortensen

Den engelske digter William Wordsworth spiller en central rolle i litteraturens langstrakte bevidsthedsrevolution, hvori den kristne tilværelsesopfattelse mister sin fortolkningskraft og må vige pladsen for et nyt, selvrådigt subjekt. I "The Time of Unrememberable Being" dykker litteraturprofessor Klaus P. Mortensen ned i Wordsworths tidlige digtning og ser nærmere på forholdet mellem natur og bevidsthed heri. Klaus Peter Mortensen (f. 1942) har været lektor i dansk litteratur ved Københavns Universitet, professor ved Danmarks Lærerhøjskole og redaktør på flere store udgivelser om litteratur. Han er desuden forfatter til en lang række forfattermonografier om blandt andre H.C. Andersen, Thomasine Gyllembourg, Herman Bang og Henrik Pontoppidan.
