Welcome to Ashgates 2013 History New Titles catalogue. Leading the Medieval section of this years Ashgate History list are three titles new in paperback in the Crusade Texts in Translation series (page 6), in particular the two volumes of Albert of Aachens History of the Journey to Jerusalem (page 6) by Susan Edgington. The field of Byzantine Studies is also strongly represented, with three titles each in the series Birmingham Byzantine and Ottoman Studies (page 2) and the Publications of the Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies (page 3). 2013 sees the addition of two major additions to our early modern studies list, Henry VIII and the Court (page 12) and The Ashgate Research Companion to the Counter-Reformation (page 10). With contributions from some of the top scholars in the field, both of these lavish collections are sure to help set the agenda for future historical research in these dynamic areas. We have a strong contribution to First World War studies in the modern history list this year, with five new titles in the series Ashgate Studies in First World War Studies (Page 19), including the first scholarly biography of Donald Hankey, the Student in Arms (page 19) whose moving and frank letters from the trenches made him a household name in Edwardian Britain but who is now largely forgotten. We are also delighted to publish the first three books in the five-book series The Nordic Experience (page 22), which promises to stimulate further study into what makes this region unique.

Authority in Byzantium
Edited by Pamela Armstrong, Oxford University and Oxford Byzantine Ceramics Project, UK
The invisible force of authority bound the diverse groups in the Byzantine state and maintained its existence across many centuries. The present volume brings together an international cast of contributors to explore the many aspects and construction of authority within the state, the church and the family. They examine the authority of knowledge and text, the depiction of authority, and lastly, the legacy of three great scholars of Byzantine studies. Five of the sections are followed by responses from a specialist in the western middle ages bringing a wider European perspective to the subject.

The studies in this volume all deal with images and texts that relate to the veneration of the saints in Byzantium after the 9th century. Some papers are devoted to the church calendar and the annual commemorations of hundreds of saints through liturgical poetry and sequences of isolated images in fresco, icon painting and illuminated manuscripts. Others are concerned with the longer and rarer, narrative cycles devoted to the life of a single saint, cycles found mainly in fresco and on the so-called vita icons that first appear in the East in the late 12th century. Additional studies deal with the developing role of icons in liturgical ceremonies, and with images of a saint being approached by a supplicant or patron. A final section is devoted to places made holy by the saints, and to their holy relics. Includes 190 b&w illustrations January 2013 Hardback 376 pages 978-1-4094-1160-4 100.00

Experiencing Byzantium
Papers from the 44th Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, Newcastle and Durham, April 2011
Edited by Claire Nesbitt, Durham University, UK; Mark Jackson, Newcastle University, UK
From the reception of imperial ekphraseis in Hagia Sophia to the sounds and smells of the back streets of Constantinople, the sensory perception of Byzantium is an area that lends itself perfectly to an investigation into the experience of the Byzantine world. The theme of experience embraces all aspects of Byzantine studies and the Experiencing Byzantium symposium brought together archaeologists, architects, art historians, historians, musicians and theologians in a common quest to step across the line that divides how we understand and experience the Byzantine world and how the Byzantines themselves perceived the sensual aspects of their empire and also their faith, spirituality, identity and the nature of being in Byzantium. Experiencing Byzantium is volume 18 in the series published by Ashgate on behalf of the Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies. Includes 39 b&w illustrations October 2013 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 330 pages 978-1-4724-1229-4 978-1-4724-1670-4 978-1-4724-1671-1 70.00

Angeliki Laiou (1941-2008), one of the leading Byzantinists of her generation, broke new ground in the study of the social and economic history of the Byzantine Empire. Economic Thought and Economic Life in Byzantium, the last of three volumes to be published posthumously in the Variorum Collected Studies Series, brings together twelve articles that reflect her perennial concern with the relationship of theory and practice in historical contexts. Two of these are translated from Greek and German, respectively, and another is here published for the first time. August 2013 Hardback 350 pages 978-1-4094-3205-0 90.00

This volume reflects the huge upsurge of interest in the Near East and early Islam currently taking place among historians of late antiquity. At the same time, Islamicists and Quranic scholars are also increasingly seeking to place the life of Muhammad and the Quran in a late antique background. Averil Cameron, herself one of the leading scholars of late antiquity and Byzantium, has chosen eleven key articles that together give a rounded picture of the most important trends in late antique scholarship over the last decades, and provide a coherent context for the emergence of the new religion. A substantial introduction, with a detailed bibliography, surveys the present state of the field, as well as discussing some recent themes in Quranic and early Islamic scholarship from the point of view of a late antique historian.

The Worlds of Eastern Christianity, 3001500
Series Editors: Robert Hoyland, Oxford University, UK and Arietta Papaconstantinou, University of Reading, UK
This series aims to promote a more holistic and inter-disciplinary approach towards the history of the East Christian communities of the Byzantine, Iranian and Islamic worlds during the period 300-1500. Each volume brings together the most influential articles on the given topic and will open with an introduction by a leading expert in the field who will discuss the key aspects and debates and try to frame new questions and directions for future research. It is intended that they will act as a stimulus for new research into Eastern Christianity and as such they will be essential reading for all students and academics of Late Antiquity, Byzantium, Islam and Western Christendom.

This collection of studies on the Roman Near East represents Professor Kennedys academic assessment of the region, which began with his doctoral thesis on the contribution of Syria to the Roman army. Although the thesis was never published, several articles owe their genesis to work done then or soon after and are included here (VI, VII, IX, XII). The two prominent sub-themes in this collection are the Roman military and various aspects of society and settlement - settlement types, farming, logistical underpinning and communications.

The eighteen papers collected in this volume fifteen of which are published in English for the first time explore the transformations of religious practices between the third and the fifth centuries in the Western part of the Roman Empire. The first group of papers focuses on the sermons and letters of Augustine of Hippo. The second group collects papers that propose to shift attention from the construction of heresies to that of orthodoxy through the case-study of the controversy of Augustine against Pelagius and Julian of Eclanum and the last group present studies that look at the complex relation between burial and religion.

Archaeologies of Abandoned Classical Towns
Edited by Neil Christie, University of Leicester, UK and Andrea Augenti, Ravenna-Bologna University, Italy
The essays in this collection consider specific examples and case studies of lost classical cities from across the many Roman provinces in order to help understand why some failed and were subsequently abandoned. Bringing together both established and rising international scholars to share views on and findings from excavations and surveys of failed towns, this volume has much to offer scholars of Roman, late antique and early medieval archaeology, urban scholars and ancient historians.

Crusades
Scholarly interest in the Bayeux Tapestry has heightened to a remarkable degree in recent years with an increased outpouring of books and articles on the subject. Gale OwenCrocker has contributed to this perhaps more than anyone else and her publications have made her an outstanding authority on the subject Scholars interested in further research on the Bayeux Tapestry are fortunate to have these articles now brought together into a single volume. Francia-Recensio This collection of fifteen papers ranges from the authors initial interest in the Tapestry as a source of information on early medieval dress, through to her startling recognition of the embroiderys sophisticated narrative structure. Developing the work of previous authors who had identified graphic models for some of the images, she argues that not just the images themselves but the contexts from which they were drawn should be taken into account in reading the messages of the Tapestry. Includes 12 colour and 140 b&w illustrations December 2012 Hardback 374 pages 978-1-4094-4663-7 100.00
Crusades covers seven hundred years from the First Crusade (10951102) to the fall of Malta (1798) drawing together scholars working on war, theology, law, literature, art, numismatics and economic, social, political and military history. There is a great need for more historical sources of the Crusades-narrative, homiletic and documentary-to be made available in trustworthy editions. Therefore, editorial preference is given here to the publication of texts in both European and oriental languages, although interpretative material is welcomed, too. Ashgate publishes this journal for The Society for the Study of the Crusades and the Latin East, and it incorporates the Societys Bulletin. Includes 7 b&w illustrations and 3 maps December 2012 Hardback 386 pages 978-1-4094-4666-8 70.00
This collection of fifteen articles, concentrating on the early Latin middle ages, explores the variety of medieval exegesis and highlights just how patchy has been our understanding of it. One of the significant developments in recent scholarship was the awareness among historians of ideas, historians of theology, and medievalists of the importance of the Christian scriptures in the Latin Middle Ages. Indeed, to understand the period one must understand the value they placed upon the Bible, how they related to it, and how they studied it. As these papers show, how the Scriptures were used in different pursuits (formal theology or history) varied greatly, and exegesis differed over time and with cultures.

Crusades
The sixteen studies brought together in this book are the product of the many years that Denys Pringle has spent investigating the material evidence for Latin settlement in Syria and Palestine in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Focusing on the building remains of churches and castles and their relationship to the landscape some of the themes that it explores include: the influence that such factors as existing local architectural traditions and the need to accommodate visiting pilgrims may have had on the design of Latin churches and religious houses; the architecture of the Cistercian houses in the kingdom of Jerusalem and the insights that the geographical distribution of church buildings gives into the extent of Christian settlement in the 12th and 13th centuries.

The volume consists of sixteen papers on the history of Francia between the seventh and eleventh centuries. Originally published between 1979 and 2009, the papers are arranged around three interlinking themes: the relationship between History and Hagiography, the history of Francia under the respective regimes of the Merovingan and Carolingian kings, and the problem of how states with weak governing institutions were able to exercise power over large areas.

Christian theology and religious belief were crucially important to Anglo-Saxon society, yet this book is the first full-length study investigating how it permeated and underpinned society. For whilst the influence of the Church as an institution is widely acknowledged, its abstract theological speculation is still generally considered to be the preserve of a small educated elite. However, as this book makes clear, theology had a much greater and more significant impact in the wider Saxon world than has been realised by modern scholars.

The volume gathers together seventeen articles dedicated to the monetary history of medieval Italy, most of them newly translated into English. The first articles trace the development of monetisation in Italy from the Lombard period until the rise of the communes. The second section contains analyses of monetary production and circulation in Byzantine Italy, while the third gathers together studies on various aspects of Carolingian coinage. All of the articles share the authors characteristic concern with setting the evidence from written sources against the wealth of new data emerging from recent archaeological research.

Crusade Texts in Translation
Series Editors: Malcolm Barber, University of Reading, UK, Peter Edbury, Cardiff University, UK, Bernard Hamilton, University of Nottingham, UK, Norman Housley, University of Leicester, UK and Peter Jackson, University of Keele, UK
The crusading movement, which originated in the 11th century and lasted beyond the 16th, bequeathed to its future historians a legacy of sources which are unrivalled in their range and variety. These sources document in fascinating detail the motivations and viewpoints, military efforts and spiritual lives of the participants in the crusades. They also narrate the internal histories of the states and societies which crusaders established or supported in the many regions where they fought, as well as those of their opponents. Some of these sources have been translated in the past but the vast majority have been available only in their original language. The goal of this series is to provide a wide ranging corpus of texts, most of them translated for the first time, which will illuminate the history of the crusades and the crusader-states from every angle, including that of their principal adversaries, the Muslim powers of the Middle East.

NEW IN PAPERBACK
Albert of Aachens History of the Journey to Jerusalem presents the story of the First Crusade (1095-1099) and the early history of the crusader states (1099-1119). Volume 1, The First Crusade, is a long and richly detailed account of events well known from the reports of participants, but told from a strikingly different perspective. His History therefore offers a counter-balance, and sometimes a corrective, to the established view. Susan B. Edgingtons English translation has been widely praised, following its first publication in the Oxford Medieval Texts series, and is here presented with a new introduction and updated notes and bibliography.

The History of the Expedition of the Emperor Frederick and Related Texts
Translated by Graham A. Loud, University of Leeds, UK
This is the first English translation of the main contemporary accounts of the Crusade and death of the German Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa (ruled 1152-90). The principal text here, the History of the Expedition of the Emperor Frederick, was written soon after the events described, and is a crucial, and much under-used source for the Third Crusade. It narrates the preparations and recruitment for the Crusade, and the Crusade itself: the journey through the Balkans and the gruelling march through Asia Minor, beset by Turkish attack, until its arrival at Antioch on 21st July 1190, eleven days after the emperor had drowned while crossing a river in Cilician Armenia. The History gives a vivid account of the sufferings of the German army as it traversed Asia Minor and appears to be, or to be based upon an eyewitness record, cast in the form of (often) a daily memoir. A number of subsidiary texts also translated illustrate and expand this main account, and place the crusade in context. Includes 2 maps June 2013 Paperback Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 244 pages 978-1-4724-1396-3 978-0-7546-6575-5 978-1-4094-0681-5 978-1-4094-8090-7 17.99 60.00

Volume 2, The Early History of the Latin States, provides a surprising level of detail about the reign of King Baldwin I (1100-1118), especially its earlier years and the crusading expeditions of 1101. Where it can be tested against other narratives, including Arabic and Greek sources, it proves to be worthy of both trust and respect. Susan B. Edgingtons English translation has been widely praised, following its first publication in the Oxford Medieval Texts series, and is here presented with a new introduction and updated notes and bibliography.

This volume brings together articles (including two hitherto unpublished pieces) that Susan Reynolds has written since the publication of her Fiefs and Vassals (1994). Six of the essays reprinted here continue her argument that feudalism is unhelpful to understanding medieval society, while eight more discuss other aspects of medieval society, law, and politics which she argues provide a better insight into the history of western Europe in the Middle Ages. Three range outside the Middle Ages and western Europe in considering the idea of the nation, the idea of empire, and the problem of finding a consistent and comprehensible vocabulary for comparative and interdisciplinary history.

The crusades influenced western European society in the middle ages far beyond the military campaigns themselves. Reactions and involvement did not always follow the assumptions of ideology or supporters, medieval or modern. In this wide ranging collection of articles spanning thirty years, Christopher Tyerman explores the relationships between action and perception, ambition and practice, propaganda and support.

Norman Expansion
Connections, Continuities and Contrasts
Edited by Keith J. Stringer and Andrew Jotischky, both at University of Lancaster, UK
In the eleventh and twelfth centuries the Normans had a formative influence on the development of states and societies in the British Isles, southern Italy and the Levant. Their achievements still resonate powerfully today, and represent a vital field of historical study. But how far did colonial elites define themselves as Norman, and to what extent were they categorized as such by others? This volume serves both to illustrate and to open up for fresh debate many of the salient themes concerning the Norman experience of diaspora and settlement. At the same time, it seeks to underscore how the dynamics, character and consequences of Norman expansion and the connections, continuities and contrasts can better be appreciated by taking the wider Norman world, or worlds, as the focus for collective study.

On the eve of the Reformation, religious beliefs were shaped by a church which was falling under the growing control of the state, and by responses to Englands one and only heretical movement, Lollardy. The studies presented in this book frequently explore major change through the experience of the middling sort: the gentry active in local government, the English merchants and Scottish immigrants making important life choices in major cities, or the industrious clerics charged with the routine administration of the church. This volume explores a range of topics during this turbulent period in British history, with particular emphasis on political change and popular piety.

SERIES
The Expansion of Latin Europe, 1000-1500
Series Editors: James Muldoon, The John Carter Brown Library and Rutgers University, USA and Felipe Fernndez-Armesto, Notre Dame University, USA
The rise of the West is the most familiar and most elusive topic in global history. Everyone agrees it happened. No one can say how, when, where or why, without provoking dissent. Yet the world we inhabit is, by universal acknowledgement, the outcome. In recent years, controversy has focussed on the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries - the early modern period, when Western expansion became a conspicuous phenomenon in a world of colliding empires and unprecedented long-range cultural exchange. But, like most such apparently new departures in history, Western European activity in the expanding world of early modernity is best understood against a background of long, sometimes faltering preparation in the Middle Ages. Therefore, following the success of the series An Expanding World, a series of key papers on the period, published by Ashgate and edited by AJR Russell-Wood, Ashgate has commissioned an attempt to collect cutting-edge research on the medieval background and events of European expansion. Felipe Fernndez-Armesto and James Muldoon have gathered classic and key contributions from learned journals and other arcane publications to give readers a conspectus of knowledge, analysis and reflection on the history of the frontiers, mental horizons, internal expansion and means of growth of Latin Christendom from the eleventh to the early sixteenth centuries.

Early Modern
The Arma Christi in Medieval and Early Modern Material Culture
With a Critical Edition of O Vernicle
Edited by Lisa H. Cooper, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA and Andrea Denny-Brown, University of California-Riverside, USA
This book explores the multiple resonances and representations of the Arma Christi, the instruments of the Passion, in medieval and early modern culture. From the weapons used to torment and sacrifice the body of Christ sprung a reliquary tradition that produced active and contemplative devotional practices, complex literary narratives, intense lyric poems, striking visual images, and innovative architecture. The verbal and visual representations that accrued from these holiest of relics, and the practices they in turn inspired, are relevant to a wide variety of critical fields and theoretical approaches. This collection capitalizes on recent work on these most central of medieval objects, and produces, through its interdisciplinary and intergenerational scholarly collaboration, a fresh view of the multiple intersections of the spiritual and the material in the Middle Ages. It also includes a new edition of the English arma Christi poem known as O Vernicle from previously unpublished manuscripts. Includes 29 b&w and 29 colour illustrations December 2013 Hardback 407 pages 978-1-4094-5676-6 70.00

This new companion by a formidable array of early modern historians will breathe new and exciting life into the understanding of this crucial era, disrupting the tendency to impose easy uniformity on the massively complex tapestry of the Reformation narrative. No mere compilation of diverse essays, the work constitutes a highly original drama of intellectual ideas. The editors have orchestrated a remarkable unity out of a pluralism of interwoven perspectives, each fascinating in its own right and yet contributing to the integrity of the whole. The story this book tells is of an era rich in local diversity, exceptions, paradoxes, seminal influences and telling narratives. Highly readable, remarkable in its range of scholarship, this study is set to become an essential text for the early modern period. John Cornwell, Cambridge University, UK The Ashgate Research Companion to the CounterReformation presents a comprehensive examination of recent scholarship on early modern Catholicism in its many guises. It examines how the Tridentine reforms inspired conflict and conversion, and evaluates lives and identities, spirituality, culture and religious change. This wide-ranging and original research guide is a unique resource for scholars and students of European and transnational history.

Thomas Anthony Birrell (1924-2011) was a man of many parts but first and foremost he was a bibliographer and a book historian. The present collection contains fifteen of his book-historical articles, two reviews and one published version of a lecture for the illustrious Association Internationale de Bibliophilie. The lecture with a wealth of illustrations about the British Library as the Custodian of the Unique gives one a sense of Birrells ability to present an audience with a complicated topic in comprehensible, but not simplified, terms. The reviews serve as a statement of principle of how to tackle the subject of English readers and books and the standards that ought to apply.

St. Andrews Studies in Reformation History has long been an indispensable series for first-rate scholarship on all aspects of the Reformation era. Its significance is even greater at a time when many presses are reducing the publication of monographs in premodern European history. Brad S. Gregory, University of Notre Dame, USA What a rich assembly of scholarship the St Andrews Studies series represents! It is a true republic of letters, embracing both those starting out on their academic career and those who have become the senators of Reformation and Counter-Reformation historiography. Long may it flourish, through many more centuries of volumes than its first. Diarmaid MacCulloch, St Cross College, Oxford, UK With the publication of its 100th book in 2012, the St Andrews Studies in Reformation Studies series celebrated an impressive publishing achievement. Since its establishment in 1995 the series has consistently offered high-quality, innovative and thought-provoking research in the field of early modern religious history. By encouraging authors to adopt a broad and inclusive interpretation of Reformation, the resultant publications have done much to help shape current interdisciplinary interpretations of early-modern religion, expanding attention far beyond narrow theological concerns.

This is the first general selection from the substantial body of surviving documents about Elizabeths navy. It stands alongside The Navy of Edward VI and Mary I with which it shares much common apparatus and complements the other NRS volumes that deal specifically with the Spanish Armada. This collection concentrates (though not exclusively so) on the early years of Elizabeths reign when there was no formal war. The documents selected emphasize the financial and administrative processes that supported these operations, such as mustering, victualing, demobilisation, and ship maintenance and repair.

Baals Priests
The Loyalist Clergy and the English Revolution
Fiona McCall
The English Civil War was a time of disruption, suffering and persecution for many people, not least the clergy of the established church, who found themselves ejected from their livings in increasing numbers as Parliamentarian forces extended their control across the country. Yet, historians have tended to downplay their suffering. Drawing upon an impressive array of sources most notably the remarkable set of family and parish memories collected by John Walker in the early years of the eighteenth century this book refocuses attention on the experiences of the sequestered loyalist clergy during the turbulent years of the 1640s and 1650s. The study highlights how the experiences of the clergy can help illuminate events in wider society, whilst at the same time acknowledging the unique situation in which Church of England ministers found themselves.

Catholic Christendom, 13001700
Series Editor: Thomas F. Mayer, Augustana College, USA
Catholic Christendom, 1300-1700 addresses all varieties of religious behaviour extending beyond traditional institutional and doctrinal church history. It is interdisciplinary, comparative and global, as well as non-confessional. It understands religion, primarily of the Catholic variety, as a broadly human phenomenon, rather than as a privileged mode of access to superhuman realms. Catholic Christendom, 1300-1700 will appeal to academics and students interested in the history of late medieval and early modern western Christianity in global context. The series embraces any and all expressions of traditional religion, books in it will take many approaches, among them literary history, art history, and the history of science, and above all, interdisciplinary combinations of them.

Reforming Reformation
Edited by Thomas F. Mayer, Augustana College, Illinois, USA
The Reformation used to be singular: a unique event that happened within a tidily circumscribed period of time, in a tightly constrained area and largely because of a single individual. Few students of early modern Europe would now accept this view. Offering a broad overview of current scholarly thinking, this collection undertakes a fundamental rethinking of the many and varied meanings of the term concept and label reformation, particularly with regard to the Catholic Church. This volume will prove essential reading to anyone interested in early modern religious history. Includes 14 b&w illustrations December 2012 Hardback 266 pages 978-1-4094-5154-9 65.00

The History of Medicine in Context
Series Editors: Andrew Cunningham, University of Cambridge, UK and Ole Peter Grell, The Open University, UK
An interest in medicine is one of the constants that re-occurs throughout history. From the earliest times, man has sought ways to combat the myriad of diseases and ailments that afflict the human body, resulting in a number of evolving and often competing philosophies and practices whose repercussions spread far beyond the strictly medical sphere. For more than a decade the History of Medicine in Context series has provided a unique platform for the publication of research pertaining to the study of medicine from broad social, cultural, political, religious and intellectual perspectives. Offering cutting-edge scholarship on a range of medical subjects that cross chronological, geographical and disciplinary boundaries, the series consistently challenges received views about medical history and shows how medicine has had a much more pronounced effect on western society than is often acknowledged. As medical knowledge progresses, throwing up new challenges and moral dilemmas, the History of Medicine in Context series offers the opportunity to evaluate the shifting role and practice of medicine from the long perspective, not only providing a better understanding of the past, but often an intriguing perspective on the present.

Lisy-Wagner draws on an array of Czech texts by significant cultural, diplomatic and intellectual figures of the early modern Bohemian Kingdom to explore fascinating themes of cultural contact and conflict, image shaping and re-shaping, border defining and erasing. Challenging, engaging, and accessible makes a significant contribution to the study of early modern Bohemia, and Europes interactions with the Ottoman world next door. Hugh Agnew, George Washington University, USA Working through the descriptive and ethnographic texts produced by Czech speakers about Islam and the Ottoman Empire, this study brings to light how they used this discourse to create Czech identities. Rather than simply constructing identity in opposition to the Islamic Other, Laura Lisy-Wagner investigates how the authors played the Holy Roman and Ottoman Empires off of each other, creating a culturally autonomous space for themselves in between.

In 1582 Alessandro Valignano, the Visitor to the Jesuit mission in the East Indies, sent four Japanese boys to Europe. Until the arrival of the embassy in Europe, the Euro-Japanese encounter had been almost exclusively one way: Europeans going to Japan. This book is an account of their travels, their long journeys out and back, and the 20 months in Europe being received by popes and kings. It was published in Macao in 1590 with the title De Missione Legatorvm Iaponensium ad Romanum curiam. The present edition is the first complete version of this rich, complex and impressive work to appear in English, and is accompanied with maps and illustrations of the mission, and an introduction discussing its context and the subsequent reception of the book.

Ritual and Conflict: The Social Relations of Childbirth in Early Modern England
The Social Relations of Childbirth in Early Modern England
Adrian Wilson, University of Leeds, UK
This book places childbirth in early-modern England within a wider network of social institutions and relationships. Starting with illegitimacy the violation of the marital norm it proceeds through marriage to the wider gender-order and so to the ceremony of childbirth, the popular ritual through which women collectively controlled this, the pivotal event in their lives. Focussing on the seventeenth century, but ranging from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, this study offers a new viewpoint on such themes as the patriarchal family, the significance of illegitimacy, and the structuring of gender-relations in the period.

European Festival Studies: 14501700
Series Editors: J. R. Mulryne and Margaret Shewring, both at the University of Warwick, UK and Margaret M. McGowan CBE, University of Sussex, UK
This series, in association with the Society for European Festivals Research, builds on the current surge in interest in the circumstances of European Festivals their political, religious, social, economic and cultural implications as well as the detailed analysis of their performance (including ephemeral architecture, scenography, scripts, music and soundscape, dance, costumes, processions and fireworks) in both indoor and outdoor, urban and court, locations. Festivals were interdisciplinary and, on occasion, international in scope. They drew on a rich classical heritage and developed a shared pan-European iconography as well as exploiting regional and site-specific features. They played an important part in local politics and the local economy, as well as international negotiations and the conscious presentation of power, sophistication and national identity. The series, including both essay collections and monographs, seeks to analyse the characteristics of individual festivals as well as to explore generic themes. It draws on a wealth of archival documentary evidence, alongside the resources of galleries and museums, to study the historical, literary, performance and material culture of these extravagant occasions of state.

The Limits of Empire: European Imperial Formations in Early Modern World History
Essays in Honor of Geoffrey Parker
Edited by Tonio Andrade, Emory University, USA, and William Reger, Illinois State University, Normal, USA
Published in honor of historian Geoffrey Parker, this volume explores the working of European empires in a global perspective, focusing on one of the most important themes of Parkers work: the limits of empire, which is to say, the centrifugal forces sacral, dynastic, military, diplomatic, geographical, informational that plagued imperial formations in the early modern period (1500-1800). Whilst the thirteen chapters in this book focus on a number of geographic regions and adopt different approaches, each shares a focus on, and interest in, the working of empires and the ways that imperial formations dealt with or failed to deal with the challenges that beset them. Taken together, they reflect a new phase in the evolving historiography of empire.

Matter and Method in the Long Chemical Revolution examines the role of and effects on chemistry of both the seventeenth-century scientific revolution and the eighteenth-century chemical revolution in parallel, using chemistry during the chemical revolution to illuminate chemistry during the scientific revolution, and vice versa. Focusing on the crises and conflicts of early modern chemistry (and their retrospectively labeled losing parties), the author traces patterns of continuity in matter theory and experimental method from Boyle to Lavoisier, and reevaluates the disciplinary relationships between chemists, mechanists, and Newtonians in France, England, and Scotland.

Renaissance Hybrids
Culture and Genre in Early Modern England
Gary A. Schmidt
In the first book-length study explicitly to connect the postcolonial trope of hybridity to Renaissance literature, Schmidt explores how early modern English authors, artists, explorers and statesmen framed questions of cultural and artistic heterogeneity. He demonstrates how postmodern considerations can be used to elucidate cultural and literary developments in the English Renaissance, revealing a new dimension in the relation of early modern studies to the concerns of the present.

Analysing the make-up and workings of the Royalist party in Scotland and Ireland during the civil wars of the mid-seventeenth century, Royalists at War is the first major study to explore who Royalists were in these two countries and why they gave their support to the Stuart kings. It compares and contrasts the actions, motivations and situations of key Scottish and Irish Royalists, paying particular attention to concepts such as honour, allegiance and loyalty, as well as practical considerations such as military capability, levels of debt, religious tensions, and political geography.

Studies on Sufism in Central Asia reproduces 12 studies which explore previously unstudied sources with an eye to identifying prominent developments in the social and organizational history of the major Sufi groupings of the region from the 13th to the 17th century. In terms of specific Sufi traditions they reflect DeWeeses attention to groups and individuals that might be identified as Kubravi, Yasavi, and Khwajagani/Naqshband. Four studies focus entirely on Kubravi circles, five on Yasavi subjects with one each on the Khwajagan, Yasavi-Naqshbandi relations and another exploring a group that falls outside these labels.

Farmers held a pivotal role in the capitalist agriculture that emerged in England in the eighteenth century, yet they have attracted little attention from rural historians. Farmers made agriculture happen. Our ignorance of the farmer might be justified by the claim that they are ill-documented, but in fact farmers were normally literate and kept records day books, journals, accounts. As the essays in this volume show, farm records offer invaluable insights into the farming economy which are available nowhere else and will help to restore farmers to their rightful position in history as rural entrepreneurs.

Religion, Identity and Conflict in Britain: From the Restoration to the Twentieth Century
Essays in Honour of Keith Robbins
Edited by Stewart J. Brown, University of Edinburgh, UK, Frances Knight, University of Nottingham, UK, and John Morgan-Guy, University of Wales, Trinity St David, UK
The British state between the mid-seventeenth century to the early twentieth century, was essentially a Christian state, in which Christianity permeated all aspects of society. This book brings together a distinguished team of authors who explore the interactions of religion, politics and culture that shaped and defined modern Britain. They consider expressions of civic consciousness in the expanding towns and cities, the growth of Welsh national identity, movements for popular education and temperance reform, and the influence of organised sport, popular journalism, and historical writing in defining national life. Most importantly, the contributors highlight the vital role of religious faith and religious institutions in the understanding of the modern British state.

Three decades of research into retailing in England from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries has established a seemingly clear narrative: fixed shops were widespread from an early date; modern methods of retailing were common from at least the early eighteenth century; shopping was a skilled activity throughout the period; and consumers were increasingly part of and aware of being part of a polite and fashionable culture. This book presents a reassessment of the standard view by challenging the usefulness of concepts like traditional and modern, examining consumption and retailing as inextricably linked aspects of a single process, and by using the idea of narrative to discuss the roles and perceptions of the various actors in this process such as retailers, shoppers/consumers, local authorities and commentators.

Matthew Boulton
Enterprising Industrialist of the Enlightenment
Edited by Kenneth Quickenden, Birmingham Institute of Art and Design, UK, Sally Baggott and Malcolm Dick, both at University of Birmingham, UK
Matthew Boulton was a leading industrialist, entrepreneur and Enlightenment figure. Often overshadowed through his association with James Watt, his Soho manufactories put Birmingham at the centre of what has recently been termed The Industrial Enlightenment. Exploring his many activities and manufactures, and the regional, national and international context in which he operated, this publication provides a valuable index to the current state of Boulton studies.

Modern Economic and Social History

The birth of a mass consumer society in Western Europe has been a subject of much scholarly debate in recent years. In order to further understanding of the issue, this book adopts an analytical approach, paying special attention to the socio-cultural and economic transfers which occur when different commodities are introduced to territories with diverse values and identities. In particular, it examines the role of merchants and their important influence on consumer decisions, alongside a systematic analysis of probate inventories from southern Spain, to reveal shifts in the patterns of consumption of new goods in urban and rural families, underlining a growing interest in new, exotic and foreign goods.

Ashgate Studies in First World War History
Series Editor: John Bourne, University of Birmingham, UK
The First World War is a subject of perennial interest to historians and is often regarded as a watershed event, marking the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the modern industrial world. The sheer scale of the conflict and massive loss of life means that it is constantly being assessed and reassessed to examine its lasting military, political, sociological, industrial, cultural and economic impact. Reflecting the latest international scholarly research, the Ashgate Studies in First World War History series provides a unique platform for the publication of monographs on all aspects of the Great War. Whilst the main thrust of the series is on the military aspects of the conflict, other related areas (including cultural, political and social) are also addressed. Books published are aimed primarily at a post-graduate academic audience, furthering exciting recent interpretations of the war, whilst still being accessible enough to appeal to a wider audience of educated lay readers.

During the interwar period Osa and Martin Johnson became famous for their films that brought exotic and far-off locations to the American cinema. Before the advent of mass tourism and television, their films played a major part in providing the means by which large audiences in the US and beyond became familiar with distant and wild places across the world. Taking the celebrity of the Johnsons as its case study, this book investigates the influence of these new forms of visual culture, showing how they created their own version of Americas imperial drama. Bringing together research in the fields of film and politics including gender and empire, historical anthropology, photography and visual studies this book provides a comprehensive evaluation of the Johnsons, their work and its impact.

It is often assumed that the verbal and visual languages of indigenous people had little influence upon the classification of scientific, legal, and artistic objects in the metropolises and museums of nineteenth-century colonial powers. However, as this book demonstrates, it is a fallacy that colonized locals merely collected material for interested colonizers. Through an analysis of particular language notations and drawings hidden in colonial documents and a reexamination of cross-cultural communication, the book writes biographies for five objects that exemplify the tensions of nineteenth century history.

The French Armys Tank Force and Armoured Warfare in the Great War
The Artillerie Spciale
Tim Gale
The scale of the French tanks failure in their first engagement in 1917, lead to rumours that the Artillerie Spciale was in danger of being disbanded, yet, by the end of the war it was the worlds largest and most technologically advanced tank force. This work examines this important facet of the French armys performance in the First World War, arguing that the AS fought the war in as intelligent and sensible a manner as was possible, given the immature state of the technology available. The successful French armoured effort outlined in this study (including a listing of all the combat engagements of the French tank service in the Great War) highlights a level of military effectiveness within the French army that has hitherto been little acknowledged.

Collision of Empires
Italys Invasion of Ethiopia and its International Impact
Edited by G. Bruce Strang, Brandon University, Canada
Italys invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 marked a turning point in interwar Europe. The last great European colonial conquest in Africa, the conflict represented an enormous gamble for the Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. He faced a challenge not only from a stout Ethiopian defence, but also from difficult logistics made worse by the League of Nations half-hearted sanctions. Despite the tremendous importance of the international crisis, however, little new work on the subject has appeared in recent decades. In this volume, an international cast of contributors take a fresh look at the crisis through the lens of new evidence and new approaches to international relations history to provide the most comprehensive coverage of the crisis currently possible, and their work provides new frames of reference for exploring imperialism, collective security and genocide.

Empire De/Centered
New Spatial Histories of Russia and the Soviet Union
Edited by Sanna Turoma, University of Helsinki, Finland and Maxim Waldstein, Amsterdam University College, The Netherlands
Empires and the Making of the Modern World, 16502000
In 1987 the Soviet empire collapsed, at a stroke throwing the certainties of the Cold War world into flux. Yet despite the dramatic end of this last empire and political commentators consigning the idea of empire to the dustbin of history, new forces filling the vacuum left by the end of the Soviet Union repeatedly draw upon the language and concepts of imperialism. Bringing together a multidisciplinary and international group of authors to study Soviet society and culture through the categories empire and space, this collection demonstrates the enduring legacy of empire with regard to Russia, whose history has been marked by a particularly close and ambiguous relationship between nation and empire building, and between national and imperial identities.

Firearms have been studied by imperial historians mainly as means of human destruction and material production. Yet, as suggested by constructivist approaches to the history of technology, firearms have always been invested with a whole array of additional social meanings. By placing these latter at the centre of analysis, the essays presented in A Cultural History of Firearms in the Age of Empire extend the study of guns beyond the confines of military history and the examination of their impact on specific colonial encounters. By bringing cultural perspectives to bear on the subject, the contributors explore the densely interwoven relationships between firearms and broad processes of social change.

In this volume, leading transport history scholars take a fresh look at the impact of the Cold War upon European railways both before and after 1989. As well as addressing the development of eastern and central European railways, the book examines how transport links have been reconnected and reconfigured in the twenty years since the reunification of Europe. In particular, it focuses upon the former communist countries and how they have responded to the challenges and opportunities railways offer both nationally and internationally.

Amongst the ranks of capitalists who drove European industrialisation in the nineteenth century, the Rothschilds where amongst the most dynamic and the most successful. Whilst their business interests were of a global nature, this book explores the specific case of Spain, where the House of Rothschild had extensive investments, particularly in the mining and railway sectors. By exploring crucial questions regarding the structure, extent and impact of the Rothschilds Spanish operations, not only do we learn much more about the working of one of the leading financial institutions and the development of the Spanish economy, but a greater understanding of the broader impact of international finance and the flow of capital in the nineteenth century is achieved.

The Nordic Experience
Series Editor: Jonas Harvard, Sdertrn University, Sweden
What makes a region unique? Be it Vikings or the welfare state, gender equality or flat-pack furniture, for a long time the Nordic region has had a distinctive profile, visible to inhabitants and outsiders alike. Much like the Mediterranean, the Balkans or even America, it has often been portrayed as something more than a geographical area. Over the last few centuries different groups with various agendas have promoted the idea of a Nordic specificity. Xenophobic nationalists have sought demarcation against otherness. Proponents of borderless brotherhood have rallied for solidarity in times of war. As political alliances and cultural connections between nations and continents continuously change, so do the meanings of labels such as the North, the Nordic region or Norden. The book series The Nordic Experience takes on this dynamic between geopolitics and identity. It offers a critical narrative of how, during the last 200 years, stereotypes and definitions of this well-known part of Europe have been established and challenged, reused and circulated in places as diverse as Scotland, Estonia, North America, Antarctica and South Africa. Through in-depth and comparative analyses of heritage practices, polar science, transnational media structures, expressions of cultural identity and the diffusion of democratic ideals, the five volumes explore the negotiation of which territories, activities, objects, traits or ideals should qualify as Nordic. The scope of the series is a testament to the value of studying Norden, just like any region, as an example of the inevitable tensions between the idea of a coherent community rooted in language and history, and the diverse and unsettling catalogue of scattered experiences it consists of. The result is a series of refreshing insights into how a region can become something beyond physical place a notion distributed in space.

Following its foundation in 1957, the European Economic Community set about establishing itself as a major player on the world stage. One of the first key arenas in which the new organisation began to make its presence felt was the GATT negotiations that took place between 1957 and 1972, known as the Kennedy Round. Through an reconstruction of these on-going negotiations, this book charts the emergence of the EEC as a world trading power and the strategies it adopted that were to have a lasting effect upon European trade policies.

Reforming Trollope
Race, Gender, and Englishness in the Novels of Anthony Trollope
Deborah Denenholz Morse, College of William and Mary, USA
To say that this is the most important work we now have on Anthony Trollope understates its value. Deborah Morse, for some time our most influential Trollope scholar, here gives us a thunderous book, such a remarkable and bold set of readings that we must wonder at how timid we were. Morses new Trollope, now our Trollope, is a reformer of gender, politics (in the largest sense), and get this! race. Morse writes this audacious book with such lucidity, grace, and good-heartedness that it works on us much as a Trollope novel does--working into our minds and beings, not just persuading us but making us new. James R. Kincaid, University of Southern California, USA Trollope the reformer and the reformation of Trollope scholarship in relation to gender, race, and genre are the intertwined subjects of eminent Trollopian Deborah Denenholz Morses radical rethinking of Anthony Trollope work, particularly the later novels. Morse traces the evolution of Trollopes views on the pastoral genre, modernity, primogeniture, the marriage market, British imperialism, and Englands involvement in slavery and the black Atlantic slave trade, showing that Trollope was not the complacent Englishman portrayed by many scholars and historians of the Victorian period.

Veteran MPs and Conservative Politics in the Aftermath of the Great War
The Memory of All That
Richard Carr, Anglia Ruskin University, UK
Experiences of the First World War defined the world view of many in interwar British society, just as the Conservative Party dominated that periods politics. In exploring the lives of veterans turned Tory politicians, this study shows not only how the Conservatives gained power between the wars, but also why they were unable to transform the nation for the better when in office. In the words of Yogi Berra, it feels like dej vu all over again. Lord Maurice Glasman, London Metropolitan University, UK Between 1918 and 1939, 448 men who performed uniformed service in the First World War became Conservative MPs. This relatively high-profile cohort have been under-explored as a distinct body, yet a study of their experiences of the war and the ways in which they and the Conservative Party represented those experiences to the voting public reveals much about the political culture of Interwar Britain and the use of the Great War as political capital.

Marvellous Melbourne, a precocious new world city of the late nineteenth century, is the site for this rich and acute study of how young people carved out their own spaces in the urban outdoors. Simon Sleight draws on a remarkable range of sources to illuminate the subversive perspectives of Melbournes youth. The book contributes to the burgeoning international scholarship on young peoples historical experiences, and is recommended reading for historians, geographers and sociologists alike. Stuart Macintyre, University of Melbourne, Australia Using turn-of-the-century Melbourne as a prime historical location for investigating the relationship between a discourse of youth, youthful experience and the shaping of new urban spaces, Simon Sleight examines the uses of public space for purposes of play, street work, consumerism, courtship, gang-related activities and civic parades. A dynamic youth culture is revealed, flourishing in city spaces well before the arrival of the teenager as a popular concern in the mid-twentieth century.

The History of the Book in the East
Series Editor: Peter Kornicki, Robinson College, University of Cambridge, UK
This series on the history of the book in the East focuses attention on three areas of the world which for a long time have been undeservedly left on the margins of the global history of the book: the Middle East, South Asia and East Asia. The importance of these three regions of the world lies not only in the sheer antiquity of printing in East Asia, where both movable type and wood blocks were used centuries before Gutenbergs invention changed the face of book production in Europe, but also in the manuscript traditions and very different responses to printing technology in the Middle East and South Asia. This series forms an important counterbalance to the Eurocentrism of the history of the book as practised in the West. The three volumes are edited by renowned experts in the field and each includes an introduction which provides an overview of research in the field. This series offers a significant benefit to students, lecturers and libraries as it brings together leading articles in the field from disparate journals which are often difficult to locate and of limited access. Students are thus able to study leading articles side by side for comparison whilst lecturers are provided with an invaluable one-stop teaching resource.
