Although for almost two centuries Edgar Allan Poe has constantly attracted the attention of literary critics and scholars, interpretative possibilities with regard to his works still seem inexhaustible. As the relationship between Poe and psychoanalysis particularly intrigues with the mysterious, the hidden and the repressed, one feels tempted to uncover yet another dimension within the vast scope of existing criticism. The aim of the book is twofold. First, it presents a chronological overview of major interpretative approaches to the author's texts, with special emphasis on the evolutionary paths of psychoanalytic studies. Next, it explores the recurrent motifs of "love" and "death" of "a beautiful woman" in selected stories, along the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! As a program and a movement, political Catholicism was started by Prussian Catholics in the second half of the 19th century as a response to liberal social concepts. The main reason was the attempt by Chancellor Otto von Bismarck to limit the influence of Catholic Church, first in Prussia, and then in united Germany. That struggle is known in history as the Kulturkampf. From Germany, political Catholic social movements spread in other German-speaking countries, especially Austria, and from there into Slovenia and Croatia. Catholic Action was the name of many groups of lay Catholics who were attempting to encourage a Catholic influence on political society. Данное издание не...

He filled the See of Rome at a very important era in the history of the Catholic Church, but very little is known of him. The accounts of the papacy of Pope Sylvester I preserved in the Liber Pontificalis are little else than a record of the gifts said to have been conferred on the Church by Emperor Constantine I, but it does say that he was the son of a Roman named Rufinus. During his pontificate were built the great churches founded at Rome by Constantine, e.g. the Basilica of St. John Lateran, Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, St. Peter's Basilica, and several cemeterial churches over the graves of martyrs....
