From Elsinore to Mexico City: The Pervasiveness of Shakespeare\'s HAMLET in Xavier Villaurrutia\'s INVITACIÓN A LA MUERTE
When Latin-American drama professor Frank Dauster brought Mexican poet and playwright Xavier Villaurrutia (1903-1950) to the attention of the English-reading public in 1971, more than two decades had passed since Villaurrutia\'s death. Known to a Spanish-speaking audience as a poet concerned with death, Villaurrutia wrote both poetry and drama. However, his first full-length play, INVITACIÓN A LA MUERTE, in 1947 marked the height of his dramatic career. The effort to connect the play to William Shakespeare\'s HAMLET brings Villaurrutia\'s work into a curious relationship with the famous tragedy. As this book reveals, Villaurrutia\'s reliance on Shakespeare permits him to dramatize the anguish affecting humankind in the twentieth century. This agony is at the center of Alberto\'s discomfort, intensified by the elements around which a modern-day Gertrude, Ophelia, Claudius, Horatio, and Polonius must grapple. When we confront Alberto, we see into the heart of the modern dilemma, a struggle not far from Shakespeare\'s Elsinore..

Mill on God: The Pervasiveness and Elusiveness of Mill's Religious Thought (Ashgate Studies in the History of Philosophical Theology)
John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) was the most influential nineteenth-century British philosopher. Highly regarded by many in his own day, his writings on logic, economics and moral philosophy have been widely studied ever since. His religious writings have received less attention yet were highly controversial when originally published. They have continued to provoke philosophers of religion. This is especially so with respect to Mill's ideas on immorality, and his dramatic posing of the problem of evil. Based upon a study of Mill's intellectual environment, life, critics contemporary and subsequent, and the relation of his religious writings to the rest of his corpus, Alan Sell presents an invaluable introduction to, and exploration of, Mill's religious thought. Despite Mill's widespread failure to satisfy believers and non-believers alike, Sell shows that in his religious writings he raises issues of continuing importance, not least that of the appropriate starting-point for Christian apologetics. This comprehensive study represents an invaluable resource for students and scholars of philosophy, intellectual history and theology as well as for those more generally interested in Mill..
