  • Exploring social, cultural and environmental factors that influence attitudes to exercise among people with Parkinson's disease

    Open AccessFrank Baron, Angeliki BogosianARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2025References: 42

    Exercise is recommended for people with Parkinson's (PwP) but clinical exercise-based interventions are generally ineffective. Social, cultural and environmental factors can influence exercise behaviours, but these topics are under-researched. We interviewed 18 PwP using a narrative approach to identify factors influencing their exercise behaviours throughout their lives. Thematic analysis identified three themes: (1) Why I exercise, (2) What hel…

  • Auschwitz Report

    Open AccessFrank BaronARTICLEHungarian Cultural Studies2023

    The escape of Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wetzler from Auschwitz on April 7, 1944, was extraordinary in its daring, courageous execution, and impact. The challenging task of the two escapees was to inform the world of previously unimaginable crimes, and to do so in a way that made the unbelievable believable. Because the deportations to Auschwitz were still in progress, it was essential to inform the threatened Jewish populations that they were slated…

  • The Faustian Century

    J M Van Der Laan, Andrew Weeks et al.EDITORBOOKFaustian Century2013

    New essays revealing the enduring significance of the story made famous in the 1587 Faustbuch and providing insights into the forces that gave the sixteenth century its distinct character. The Reformation and Renaissance, though segregated into distinct disciplines today, interacted and clashed intimately in Faust, the great figure that attained European prominence in the anonymous 1587 Historia von D. Johann Fausten. The original Faust behind Go…

  • Faustus on Trial

    Gerhild Scholz Williams, Frank Baron et al.ARTICLEThe German Quarterly1995

    In historical and cultural studies, the Early Modern Age has developed a profile of its own. The book series Fruhe Neuzeit (Early Modern Age) publishes editions, monographs and collected volumes advancing fundamental research in the field. It does not seek to produce wide-ranging overviews, premature syntheses or pretentious constructions but takes the long route of detailed work and the exploration of submerged traditional linkages. Particular e…

  • Faustus and the Censor. The English Faust-Book and Marlowe's Doctor Faustus

    Frank Baron, William Empson et al.ARTICLEGerman Studies Review1989

    Marlowe's Dr Faustus is the play that has, more than any other, given us the legend of Faustus, the man for whom the price of knowledge was eternal damnation. But in this, his last major and sustained piece of work, the author challenges the integrity of the text as we have it, and with it, the shape of the Faust myth it inspired. The book presents the play as a crowning instance of the growing 16th-century preoccupation with magic, no longer the…

  • "Which Faustus Died in Staufen? History and Legend in the "Zimmerische Chronik

    Frank BaronARTICLEGerman Studies Review1983

    Beutler discounted the Zimmerische Chronik as a reliable source for the biography of the historical Faustus, there has been a tendency in recent times to argue that this work supplies accurate information. 1Because the popular chronicle is the only early source giving detailed information about the time, place as well as manner of Faustus's death, this tendency is understandable.But if we examine the chronicle carefully, we discover a neglected w…
