<p>Although Frances Hodgson Burnett published numerous works for an adult readership, she is mainly remembered today for three novels written for children: Little Lord Fauntleroy (1886), A Little Princess (1905) and The Secret Garden (1911). This volume is dedicated to The Secret Garden. The articles address a wide range of issues, including the representation of the garden in Burnett's novel in the context of cultural history; the relationship between the concept of nature and female identity; the idea of therapeutic places; the notion of redemptive children in The Secret Garden and Little Lord Fauntleroy; the concept of male identity; constructions of 'Otherness' and the redefinition of Englishness; film and anime versions of Burnett's classic; Noel Streatfeild's The Painted Garden as a rewriting of The Secret Garden; attitudes towards food in children's classics and Burnett's novel in the context of Edwardian girlhood fiction and the tradition of the female novel of development.

A Hundred Years of the Secret Garden: Frances Hodgson Burnett's Children's Classic Revisited (Representations & Reflections)

In Lower Saxony the Reformation did not lead to the dissolution of all monasteries, convents and foundations; some continued as protestant monasteries, convents and foundations. The present volume begins by expounding the preconditions for the protestant "monastic landscape": the alignment to the Wurttemberg model of reformation of monasteries and convents and the safeguarding of funding, which has made protestant monastic life possible to the present day. The central focus of the book is on studies on life in modern protestant monasteries, convents and foundations, their transition to Protestantism, day-to-day life and the life of worship in them. Individual monasteries and convents and nuns are presented as examples, highlighting the diverse ways of life. The final section comprises studies on the cultural tradition and how it has been handed down to the present day. The essays are based on lectures that were held in 2009 at the Medingen Convent on the invitation of the Society for the Ecclesiastical History of Lower Saxony.

English summary: Carl Goerdeler (1884-1945), later Leipzig Lord major and "chancellor" of the German resistance against Hitler, a man with important relations in politics and society, started his communal career in Solingen. After 60 years of research on Goerdeler this study breaks new ground in science. From 1912 to 1920, Goerdeler managed a great spectrum from the refuse collection to the school reform. After careful beginnings he worked enthousiastically for the realization of his projects. Especially after World War I he had various projects, as the Einheitsschule (unified school) with the Deutsche Oberschule (German grammar school/German high school) which he tried to establish. Goerdeler did not collaborate in conjunction with the Social Democrats but in matter-of-fact. From his activities in Solingen he received lasting influence: his great ability of reforming the communal administration, his continued commitment for the communal constitution ("major constitution") of the Rhine province, and his ability to organize a large political spectrum - later in the German Resistance against the Hitler regime, too. German description: Carl Goerdeler, der Kanzler des deutschen Widerstands gegen Hitler werden sollte und weitreichende politische und gesellschaftliche Verbindungen hatte, begann seine Laufbahn in Solingen. Mit der Untersuchung dieser Zeit betritt dieses Buch biografisches Neuland.1912 bis 1920 meisterte er als Kommunalbeamter ein breites Aufgabenspektrum - seine Reformen reichten von der Mullabfuhr bis zur Schule. Nach tastenden Anfangen arbeitete er energisch an der Umsetzung seiner Vorstellungen, besonders nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg, als er mehrere Reformprojekte vorantrieb. Mit den im roten Solingen starken Sozialdemokraten arbeitete er nicht einvernehmlich, aber sachlich zusammen. Aus seiner Solinger Tatigkeit nahm er nachhaltige Pragungen mit: seine Fahigkeit zur Verwaltungsreform im grossen Stil, seinen nachhaltigen Einsatz fur die rheinische Burgermeisterverfassung und seine Fahigkeit, ein weites politisches Spektrum - spater auch im Widerstand gegen das Hitler-Regime - zu organisieren.
