ASHGATE
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 Emperor Theophilos and the East, 829842


Court and Frontier in Byzantium during the Last Phase of Iconoclasm
Juan Signes Codoer, University of Valladolid, Spain
This book focuses on the impact of political relations with the East, especially the Muslim caliphate, on the reign of the last iconoclast emperor of Byzantium, Theophilos (829-842), reinterpreting the major events of the period and their chronology. Separate sections are devoted to the influence of Armenians at the court, the enrolment of Persian rebels against the caliphate in the Byzantine army, the continuous warfare with the Arabs and the cultural exchange with Baghdad, the Khazar problem, and the attitude of the Christian Melkites towards the iconoclast emperor. The final chapter reassesses the image of the emperor as a good ruler, building on the conclusions of the previous sections. Includes 9 maps and 7 b&w illustrations August 2013 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 480 pages 978-0-7546-6489-5 978-1-4094-6986-5 978-1-4094-6987-2 85.00

Publications of the Centre for Hellenic Studies, Kings College London

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. Includes 48 b&w illustrations March 2013 Hardback 388 pages 978-1-4094-3608-9 70.00

Approaches to the Byzantine Family


Edited by Leslie Brubaker, Birmingham University, UK and Shaun Tougher, Cardiff University, UK
The study of the family is one of the major lacunas in Byzantine Studies. Angeliki Laiou remarked in 1989 that the study of the Byzantine family is still in its infancy, and this assertion remains true today. The present volume addresses this lacuna. It comprises 19 chapters written by international experts in the field which take a variety of approaches to the study of the Byzantine family, and embrace a chronological span from the later Roman to the late Byzantine empire. Includes 44 b&w illustrations September 2013 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 380 pages 978-1-4094-1158-1 978-1-4094-1159-8 978-1-4094-7219-3

The Celebration of the Saints in Byzantine Art and Liturgy


Nancy Patterson evenko
Variorum Collected Studies Series: CS975

www.ashgate.com/isbn/9780754664895

Pseudo-Kodinos, the Constantinopolitan Court, Offices and Ceremonies


Ruth Macrides, Joe Munitiz and Dimiter Angelov, Harvard University, USA
The work known as Pseudo-Kodinos, the fourteenthcentury text which is one of two surviving ceremonial books from the Byzantine empire, is presented here for the first time in English translation. With facing page Greek text and the first in-depth analysis in the form of commentary and individual studies on the hierarchy, the ceremonies, court attire, the Blachernai palace, lighting, music, gestures and postures, this volume makes an important new contribution to the study of the Byzantine court, and to the history and culture of Byzantium more broadly. Includes 17 colour, 8 b&w illustrations and 1 map November 2013 Hardback ebook PDF 460 pages 978-0-7546-6752-0 978-1-4724-1805-0 80.00

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

Constantine of Rhodes, On Constantinople and the Church of the Holy Apostles


With a new edition of the Greek text by Ioannis Vassis
Edited by Liz James, University of Sussex, UK
Constantine of Rhodess tenth-century poem is an account of public monuments in Constantinople and of the Church of the Holy Apostles. On one level, the poem offers an account of what was visible but it cannot be read as a straightforward description. Rather, Constantines work offers insights into Byzantine perceptions of works of art. This book supersedes the two previous editions of the poem, both dating to 1896, and provides the first full translation of the text. It consists of a new Greek edition of Constantines poem, with an introductory essay, prepared by Ioannis Vassis, and a translation and commentary by a group of scholars headed by Liz James. Liz James also contributes an extensive discussion of the two distinct parts of the poem, the city monuments and the Church of the Holy Apostles.

Dreams, Healing, and Medicine in Greece Power and Subversion in Byzantium


Papers from the 43rd Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, Birmingham, March 2010
Edited by Dimiter Angelov and Michael Saxby, University of Birmingham, UK
The 43rd Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies in 2010 drew together historians, art historians, and scholars of literature, religion and philosophy, who discussed shared and discipline-specific approaches to the theme of subversion. The present volume presents a selection of the papers delivered at the symposium enriched with specially commissioned contributions. Most papers deal with the period after the eleventh century, although early Byzantium is not ignored. Theoretical questions about the nature, articulation and limits of subversion are addressed within the frameworks of individual disciplines and in a larger context. The volume comes at a timely junction in the development of Byzantine studies, as interest in subversion and nonconformity in general has been rising steadily in the field. Includes 29 b&w illustrations October 2013 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 296 pages 978-1-4724-1228-7 978-1-4724-1668-1 978-1-4724-1669-8 65.00

From Antiquity to the Present


Edited by Steven M. Oberhelman, Texas A&M University, USA
This volume centers on dreams in Greek medicine from the fifth-century B.C.E. Hippocratic Regimen down to the modern era. Medicine is here defined in a wider sense than just formal medical praxis, and includes non-formal medical healing methods such as folk pharmacopeia, religion, magical methods (e.g., amulets, exorcisms, and spells), and home remedies. This volume examines how in Greek culture dreams have played an integral part in formal and non-formal means of healing. The papers are organized into three major diachronic periods: classical Greek through late Roman, the Byzantine era, and from the Turkish period to the modern day. Includes 9 b&w illustrations May 2013 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 356 pages 978-1-4094-2423-9 978-1-4094-2424-6 978-1-4094-7439-5 65.00

Angeliki E. Laiou, formerly Harvard University, USA
Variorum Collected Studies Series: CS1033

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

Wonderful Things: Byzantium through its Art


Papers from the 42nd Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, London, 20-22 March 2009
Edited by Antony Eastmond, Courtauld Institute of Art, UK and Liz James, University of Sussex, UK
The essays collected in this book were delivered at the XLII Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, held in London in 2009 to accompany the exhibition Byzantium 330-1453, at the Royal Academy. The exhibition was one of the most ambitious and complex exhibitions ever mounted at the Royal Academy, as well as one of the most popular, and the overall aim of the book is to reflect on the exhibition of Byzantine art, both as an academic and popular exercise, and through the choice and discussion of individual objects. Includes 88 b&w illustrations August 2013 Hardback 304 pages 978-1-4094-5514-1 65.00

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

The Formation of the Classical Islamic World

www.ashgate.com/isbn/9781409455141

www.ashgate.com/isbn/9781472412294

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.

Narbonne and its Territory in Late Antiquity


From the Visigoths to the Arabs
Frank Riess, Birkbeck College, London, UK
This work centres on the post-Roman period of Narbonne and its territory, up to its capture by the Arabs in 720, encompassing not only recent archaeological findings but also perspectives of French, Spanish and Catalan historiography that have fashioned distinct national narratives. Seeking to remove Narbonne from any subsequent birth of France, Catalonia and Spain, the book presents a geopolitical region that took shape from the late fifth century, evolving towards the end of the eighth century into an autonomous province of the nascent Carolingian Empire. Includes 5 b&w illustrations and 5 maps November 2013 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 270 pages 978-1-4094-5534-9 978-1-4094-5535-6 978-1-4724-0827-3 65.00

SERIES
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. For more information on this series please visit www.ashgate.com/wec

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 Philosophy of Gemistos Plethon


Platonism in Late Byzantium, between Hellenism and Orthodoxy
Vojtch Hladk, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic
George Gemistos Plethon (c.13601454) was a remarkable and influential thinker, active at the time of transition between the Byzantine Middle Ages and the Italian Renaissance. His works cover literary, historical, scientific, but most notably philosophical issues. Plethon is arguably the most important of the Byzantine Platonists and the earliest representative of Platonism in the Renaissance. This book provides a new study of Gemistos philosophy. The first part is dedicated to the discussion of his public philosophy, in the second, most extensive, part of the book the Platonism of Plethon is presented in a systematic way and in the third part the notorious question of the paganism of Gemistos is reconsidered.

Transformations of Religious Practices in Late Antiquity


Eric Rebillard, Cornell University, USA
Variorum Collected Studies Series: CS1028

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.

Communal Identity and Self-Portrayal in the Worlds of Eastern Christianity, 300-1500


Edited by Barbara Roggema, Kings College London, UK
The Christian communities of the Middle East distinguish themselves through their unique languages, their ethnic identities and their doctrinal stances. Whereas the history of doctrinal disputes has been a topic of old in Western scholarship, it is only in more recent times that scholars have begun to investigate how the Christian communities of the Nile-to-Oxus region perceived themselves and how they asserted their distinct identities vis--vis their neighbours and maintained a sense of communal integrity in response to cultural change and foreign domination. This volume brings together a number of key studies, many specially translated into English for this volume, which deal with this question of Eastern Christian self-definition. Included in the volume is an extensive bibliography on the topic of Eastern Christian self-understanding. January 2014 Hardback 450 pages 978-0-7546-6891-6 130.00

Vrbes Extinctae
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.

Questions of Gender in Byzantine Society


Edited by Bronwen Neil, Australian Catholic University, Australia, and Lynda Garland, University of New England, Armidale, Australia
Gender was a key social indicator in Byzantine society, as in many others. While studies of gender in the Western medieval period have appeared regularly in the past decade, similar studies of Byzantium have lagged behind. Masculine and feminine roles were not always as clearly defined as in the West, while eunuchs made up a third gender in the imperial court. The present collection of essays uncovers gender roles in the imperial family, in monastic institutions of both genders, in the Orthodox church, and in the nascent cult of Mary in the East. It puts the spotlight on flashpoints over a millennium of Byzantine rule, from Constantine the Great to Irene and the Palaiologoi, and covers a wide geographical range, from Byzantine Italy to Syria. Includes 3 b&w illustrations August 2013 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 220 pages 978-1-4094-4779-5 978-1-4094-4780-1 978-1-4094-7449-4 65.00

Languages and Cultures of Eastern Christianity: Greek


Edited by Scott Fitzgerald Johnson, Georgetown University, USA
This volume brings together a set of fundamental contributions, many translated into English for this publication, along with an important introduction. Together these explore the role of Greek among Christian communities in the late antique and Byzantine East (late Roman Oriens), specifically in the areas outside of the immediate sway of Constantinople and imperial Asia Minor.

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.

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.

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.

Churches, Castles and Landscape in the Frankish East


Denys Pringle, Cardiff University, UK
Variorum Collected Studies Series: CS1018

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.

The Cult of Saint Katherine of Alexandria in Late-Medieval Nuremberg


Saint and the City
Anne Simon, University of London, UK
Saint Katherine of Alexandria was after the Virgin Mary arguably the most important female religious figure within medieval Europe. Yet despite this many gaps in our knowledge remain as regards the significance and function of her cult within Germany. Dr Simons book addresses this lacunae, using Nuremberg as a case study to examine the ways in which the cult expressed itself in literature, art; devotional practice, Patrician patronage, political strategy, urban space - and how the various forms of expression interacted to shape Patrician and civic identity.

Coinage and Coin Use in Medieval Italy


Alessia Rovelli, Universit degli Studi della Tuscia, Italy
Variorum Collected Studies Series: CS1023

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.

SERIES
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.

Caffaro, Genoa and the Twelfth-Century Crusades


Translated by Martin Hall and Jonathan Phillips, both at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
This volume is the first comprehensive English translation, with a substantial introduction and notes, of the writings of Caffaro of Genoa, as well as related texts and documents on Genoa and the crusades. The majority of early crusading historiography is from a Northern European and clerical perspective and Caffaros voice offers an exciting departure with his more secular and Mediterranean tone. This book adds to our understanding of the reception of crusading ideas in the Mediterranean and, given Genoas prominence in the commercial world, illuminates the complex and controversial relationship between holy war and financial gain.

Letters from the East

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.

Crusaders, Pilgrims and Settlers in the 12th13th Centuries


Translated by Malcolm Barber and Keith Bate, both at University of Reading, UK
This volume presents translations of a selection of the letters sent by crusaders and pilgrims from Asia Minor, Syria and Palestine. There are accounts of all the great events from the triumph of the capture of Jerusalem in 1099 to the disasters of Hattin in 1187 and the loss of Acre in 1291. They convey the immediacy of circumstances which were frequently dramatic and often life-threatening, and show us the feelings of those who lived in and visited the crusader states. Some of the letters translated here are famous, others hardly known, but all offer unique insight into the minds of those who took part in the crusading movement.

May 2013 The Crusade of Paperback Frederick Barbarossa Hardback

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.

Heresy and the Making of European Culture


Medieval and Modern Perspectives
Edited by Andrew P . Roach and James R. Simpson, both at the University of Glasgow, UK
Analysts looking for the roots of the extraordinary creativity and innovation found in Europe from the Middle Ages have thus far neglected the important role of religious heresy. The papers collected here reflecting the disciplines of history, literature, theology, philosophy, economics and law examine the intellectual and social investments characteristic of both deliberate religious dissent such as among the Cathars of Languedoc, the Balkan Bogomils, the Hussites of Bohemia and the attempts to police or eradicate it, such as the Inquisition.

Entering a Clerical Career at the Roman Curia, 14581471


Kirsi Salonen, University of Turku, Finland and Jussi Hanska, University of Tampere and University of Helsinki, Finland
Building on recent revisionist histories of the quality and ability of the late medieval clergy, this is a comprehensive survey of the ordinations of priests at the Roman curia during the pontificates of Pius II (1458-1464) and Paul II (1464-1471). The study analyses archival documentation to reconstruct exactly how young men entered a clerical career, and also what influence practices at the curia had on wider clerical ordinations. The book concentrates especially on the role of the Apostolic Penitentiary in controlling the quality of priest candidates and on the role of Camera Apostolica in carrying out ecclesiastical ordinations in the papal curia.

Episcopal Appointments in England, c. 12141344


From Episcopal Election to Papal Provision
Katherine Harvey
Bishops were central figures in medieval society and the circumstances of their appointments are of great historical importance. This book considers the theory and practice of free canonical election in its heyday under Henry III and Edward I, and the nature of and reasons for the subsequent transition to papal provision. An analysis of the theoretical evidence for this subject (including canon law, royal pronouncements and Lawrence of Somercotes remarkable 1254 tract on episcopal elections) is combined with a consideration of the means by which bishops were created during the reigns of Henry III and the three Edwards.

Islands and Military Orders, c.1291-c.1798


Edited by Emanuel Buttigieg, University of Malta and Simon Phillips, University of Cyprus
At the heart of this volume is a concern with exploring levels of interaction between two particular objects of study, islands on the one hand, and military orders on the other. 1291 was a significant year for the main military orders: uprooted from their foundations in the Holy Land, the Hospitallers above all took refuge on islands but found themselves vulnerable to those who questioned their continued existence. Islands can be seen to be embodiments of insularity, separate, distinct, cut-off; Military Orders are international in scope, nature and personnel. Therein lies the crux of the matter: how did insular outposts and international institutions come together to forge distinct and often successful experiments?

Memory and Commemoration in Medieval Culture


Edited by Elma Brenner, Wellcome Library, UK, Meredith Cohen, UCLA, USA and Mary Franklin-Brown, University of Minnesota, USA
Focusing on France but incorporating studies from further afield, this collection of essays marks an important new contribution to the study of medieval memory and commemoration. Arranged thematically, each part highlights how memory cannot be studied in isolation, but instead intersects with many other areas of medieval scholarship, including art history, historiography, intellectual history, and the study of religious culture. Key themes in the study of memory are explored, such as collective memory, the links between memory and identity, the fallibility of memory, and the linking of memory to the future, as an anticipation of what is to come.

Norman Tradition and Transcultural Heritage


Edited by Stefan Burkhardt, Universitt Heidelberg, Germany and Thomas Foerster, Independent Scholar, Norway
The essays in this volume look at questions of Norman traditions in some of the peripheral Norman dominions. Divided into two sections, the volume begins with eight chapters focusing on Norman Sicily. These essays demonstrate both the degree of cultural intermingling that made this kingdom an extraordinary paradigm in this regard, and how the Normans began to develop their own distinct origin myths that diverged from those of Norman France and England. The second section of the volume provides four essays that explore Norman ethnicity and identity more broadly, including two looking at Norman communities on the opposite side of Europe to the Kingdom of Sicily: Ireland and the Scandinavian settlements in the Kievan Rus.

Popular Muslim Reactions to the Franks in the Levant, 10971291


Alex Mallett
The issue of Muslim reactions to the Franks has been an important part of studies of both the Crusades and Islamic history for a number of decades. This book examines the reactions of the Muslims of the Levant to the arrival and presence of the Franks in the crusading period, 1097-1291. It focusses on those outside the politico-military and religious elites arguing that it was they, as much as the more famous Muslim rulers, who were initiators of resistance to the Franks.

Perspectives on Public Space in Rome, from Antiquity to the Present Day


Edited by Gregory Smith and Jan Gadeyne, Visiting Critics at Cornell University College of Architecture, Art and Planning, Rome Program
Divided into five chronological sections (Antiquity, Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Modern and Contemporary) this volume provides readers interested in urban history with a collection of essays on the evolution of public space in that paradigmatic western city which is Rome. Scholars specialized in different historical periods contributed chapters, in order to find common themes which weave their way through one of the most complex urban histories of western civilization. Through this longterm chronological approach the volume offers a truly unique insight into the urban development of one of Europes most important cities. Includes 114 b&w illustrations April 2013 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 434 pages 978-1-4094-6369-6 978-1-4094-6370-2 978-1-4724-0427-5 75.00

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. December 2012 Hardback 328 pages 978-1-4094-5674-2 85.00

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.

The first articles here examine legal and political aspects of early Shi`ism. The following studies relate to doctrinal views of the Zaydi imams al-Qasim b. Ibrahim al-Rassi and al-Natiq bi-l-Haqq and to Zaydi attitudes to Sufism. The final group focuses on the Isma`iliyya, their social and political history and aspects of their religious thought.

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.

The Expansion of Central Europe in the Middle Ages


Edited by Nora Berend, University of Cambridge, UK
This volume brings together a set of key studies on the history of medieval Central Europe (Bohemia, Hungary, Poland), along with others specially commissioned for the book or translated, and a new introduction. This region was both an area of immigration, and one of polities in expansion. Topics covered include the settlement of previously empty lands, rulers attempts to incorporate new territories, and the significance of German immigration, which is much more nuanced and complex than often presented.

The Northern-Eastern Frontiers of Medieval Europe


The Expansion of Latin Christendom in the Baltic Lands
Edited by Alan V. Murray, University of Leeds, UK
By the mid-twelfth century the lands on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea, from Finland to the frontiers of Poland, were Catholic Europes final frontier: a vast, undeveloped expanse of lowlands, forest and waters, inhabited by peoples belonging to the Finnic and Baltic language groups. This volume presents 21 key studies (2 of them translated from German for the first time) on this crucial period in the development of North-Eastern Europe, dealing with crusade and conversion, the establishment of Western rule, settlement and society, and the development of towns, trade and the economy. It includes a classified bibliography of the main works published in Western languages since World War II together with an introduction by the editor.

Spain, Portugal and the Atlantic Frontier of Medieval Europe


Edited by Jos-Juan Lpez-Portillo, Queen Mary University of London, UK
As seen from the perspective of 1492, the medieval expansion of Latin Europe was nowhere as dramatic or enduring as in the Iberian Peninsula and the Atlantic. Castile and Portugal also transformed the Atlantic Ocean from the inaccessible dead-end of Eurasia into the most promising avenue for European expansion. The articles collected here investigate the extent to which the transference of Mediterranean traditions aided this process; the characteristics of Iberian conflict that eventually led to the success of its Christian kingdoms; and the motives for launching, and techniques for running, the first European overseas empires in the Atlantic frontier. In the process they illuminate the new identities and cultural interactions that this expansion produced in its wake, while the new introduction sets them in the broader context.

The Spiritual Expansion of Medieval Latin Christendom: The Asian Missions


Edited by James D. Ryan, City University of New York, USA
During the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries religious zeal nourished by the mendicants sense of purpose motivated Dominican and Franciscan friars to venture far beyond Europes cultural frontiers to spread their Christian faith into the farthest reaches of Asia. The reports these missionaries sent back to Europe have fascinated successive generations of historians who analyzed their travels and struggled to understand their motives and aspirations. The essays selected for this volume, contextualized in the introduction, provide a comprehensive overview of missionary efforts in Asia, and of the developments in the secular world that both made them possible and encouraged the missionaries hopes for success.

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

The Ashgate Research Companion to Women and Gender in Early Modern Europe

Crime and Punishment in Early Modern Germany


Courts and Adjudicatory Practices in Frankfurt am Main, 15621696
Maria R. Boes, West Chester University, USA
Frankfurt am Main, in common with other imperial German cities, enjoyed a large degree of legal autonomy during the early modern period, and produced a unique and rich body of criminal archives. In particular, Frankfurts Strafenbuch, which records all criminal sentences between 1562 and 1696, provides a fascinating insight into contemporary penal trends. Drawing on this and other rich resources, Boes reveals shifting and fluid attitudes towards crime and punishment and how these were conditioned by issues of gender, class, and social standing within the citys establishment. She attributes a significant role in this process to the steady proliferation of municipal advocates, jurists trained in Roman Law, who wielded growing legal and penal prerogatives.

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.

Defending the Revolution


The Church of Scotland 16891716
Jeffrey Stephen
The period between 1689 and 1716 witnessed a fundamental reordering of the political, religious and cultural map of the British Isles. Exploring the ecclesiastical settlement in Scotland, this book provides a thorough and thoughtful account of how Presbyterians seized the opportunities presented by Glorious Revolution, and then the Act of Union, to establish the national Church in accordance with their ideals, at the expense of the Episcopalian model. It argues that this process was to have a deep and lasting effect on the development of both Scotland and an expansionist British state.

Aspects of Violence in Renaissance Europe


Edited by Jonathan Davies, University of Warwick, UK
Interest in the history of violence has increased dramatically over the last ten years and recent studies have demonstrated the productive potential for further inquiry in this field. The early modern period is particularly ripe for further investigation because of the pervasiveness of violence. Certain countries may have witnessed a drop in the number of recorded homicides during this period, yet homicide is not the only marker of a violent society. This volume presents a range of contributions that look at various aspects of violence from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries, from student violence and misbehaviour in fifteenth-century Oxford and Paris to the depiction of war wounds in the English civil wars.

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.

English Students at Leiden University, 1575-1650


Advancing your abilities in learning and bettering your understanding of the world and state affairs
Daniela Prgler
The oldest and most renowned Dutch university, Leiden was an attractive proposition for travelling foreign students in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Alongside offering an excellent academic program and outstanding facilities, Leiden was also able to cater to the desires of noble students providing various extra-curricular activities. Leiden was the most popular continental university among English students, and this book investigates the 831 English students who studied there between 1575 and 1650. This book is a valuable contribution to the history of early modern universities and will appeal to a wide international readership interested in cultural and intellectual history as well as in Anglo-Dutch relations.

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.

Practical Predestinarians in England, c. 15901640


Leif Dixon, University of Oxford, UK
The belief that God eternally and unalterably decrees the election of one part of humankind and the reprobation of the rest has not aged well, but in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the doctrine of predestination was publicised and popularised to an extent unparalleled in the history of Christianity. Why was this? How successfully was the doctrine able to mix with other ideas, and to what effect? And did belief in predestination encourage confidence or despair? Practical Predestinarians is a study of the ways in which the doctrine of predestination was understood and communicated by churchmen in late Tudor and early Stuart England.

The Early Reformation in Germany


Between Secular Impact and Radical Vision
Tom Scott, University of St Andrews, UK
Over the last twenty years research on the Reformation in Germany has shifted both chronologically and thematically toward an interest in the long or delayed Reformations. Whilst this focus has resulted in many fascinating new insights, it has also led to the relative neglect of the early Reformation movement. Consisting of seven previously published essays, three new chapters and an historical afterword, Scotts volumeput together with the explicit purpose of encouraging scholars to reengage with the early storm years of the German Reformation-serves as a timely reminder of the importance of the early decades of the sixteenth century.

The English Convents in Exile, 16001800


Communities, Culture and Identity
Edited by Caroline Bowden, Queen Mary University of London, UK and James E. Kelly, Durham Unversity, UK
In 1598, the first English convent was established in Brussels and was to be followed by a further 21 enclosed convents across Flanders and France with more than 4,000 women entering them over a 200 year period. In theory they were cut off from the outside world, however, in practice the nuns were not isolated and their contacts and networks spread widely and their communal culture was sophisticated. This interdisciplinary collection demonstrates the cultural importance of the English convents in exile from 1600 to 1800 and is the first collection to focus solely on the English convents.

Art, Politics and Performance
Edited by Thomas Betteridge, Oxford Brookes University, UK and Suzannah Lipscomb, New College of the Humanities, London, UK

Through this wide-ranging, yet thematically coherent approach, a fascinating window is opened into the world of Henry VIII and his court. In particular, building on research undertaken over the last ten years, a number of contributors focus on topics that have been neglected by traditional historical writing, for example gender, graffiti and clothing. With contributions from many of the leading scholars of Tudor England, the collection offers not only a snapshot of the latest historical thinking, but also provides a starting point for future research into the world of this colourful, but often misrepresented monarch.

English Catholics and the Supernatural, 15531829


Francis Young
In spite of an upsurge in interest in the social history of the Catholic community and an ever-growing body of literature on early modern superstition and popular religion, the English Catholic communitys response to the invisible world of the preternatural and supernatural has remained largely neglected. Addressing this oversight, this book explores Catholic responses to the supernatural world, setting the English Catholic community in the contexts of the wider Counter-Reformation and the confessional culture of early modern England.

Franciscan Spirituality and Mission in New Spain, 1524-1599


Conflict Beneath the Sycamore Tree (Luke 19:1-10)
Steven E. Turley, Rice University, Texas, USA
Franciscans in sixteenth-century New Spain were deeply ambivalent about their mission work. Fray Juan de Zumrraga, the first archbishop of Mexico, begged the king to find someone else to do his job so that he could go home. This discontent was widespread, grew stronger with time, and carried important consequences for the friars interactions with indigenous peoples, their Catholic co-laborers, and colonial society at large. This book examines that discontent and seeks to explain why the exhilaration of joining such a glorious enterprise so often gave way to grinding discontent.

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

SERIES
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.

Female Patients in Early Modern Britain


Gender, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Wendy D. Churchill, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, Canada
This investigation contributes to the existing scholarship on women and medicine in early modern Britain by examining the diagnosis and treatment of female patients by male professional medical practitioners from 1590 to 1740. In order to obtain a clearer understanding of female illness and medicine during this period, this study examines ailments that were specific and unique to female patients as well as illnesses and conditions that afflicted both female and male patients. Through a qualitative and quantitative analysis of practitioners records and patients writings such as casebooks, diaries and letters an emphasis is placed on medical practice.

It was published in Macao in 1590 with the title De Missione Legatorvm Iaponensium ad Romanum curiam.

Medical Consulting by Letter in France, 16651789


Robert Weston, University of Western Australia
Ailing seventeenth- and eighteenth-century French men and women, members of their families, or their local physician or surgeon, could write to high profile physicians and surgeons seeking expert medical advice. This study, the first full-length examination of the practice of consulting by letter, provides a cohesive portrayal of some of the widespread ailments of French society in the latter part of the early modern period. It makes a unique contribution to the history of medicine, as no other study has been undertaken in the consulting by letter of surgeons, as opposed to physicians.

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.

SERIES
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.

Jeremias Drexels Christian Zodiac


Seventeenth-Century Publishing Sensation. A Critical Edition, Translated and with an Introduction & Notes
Translated by Nicholas J. Crowe, Centre for Medieval & Renaissance Studies, Oxford, UK
First published in 1622, Jeremias Drexels Zodiacus Christianus (or Christian Zodiac) was a remarkable work of religious iconography and spiritual self-help. Offering the first modern translation into English since the early seventeenth century, this critical edition re-acquaints Anglophone audiences with a sample of the spiritual and philosophical writings of a figure whose significant publication record made him a bestseller during his lifetime and for many decades afterwards. As well as addressing issues of spiritual iconography with relation to signs of predestination, the book also has much to say about authorship, publishing and the dissemination of ideas.

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.

Major-General Thomas Harrison


Millenarianism, Fifth Monarchism and the English Revolution 1616-1660
David Farr, Norwich School, UK
Thomas Harrison is today perhaps best remembered for the manner of his death. As a leading member of the republican regime and signatory to Charles Is death warrant, he was hanged, drawn and quartered by the Restoration government in 1660; a spectacle witnessed by Samuel Pepys who recorded him looking as cheerful as any man could do in that condition. Beginning with this grisly event, this book employs a thematic, rather than chronological approach, to illustrate the role of millenarianism and providence in the English Revolution, religion within the New Model Army, literature, image and reputation, and Harrisons relationship with key individuals like Ireton and Cromwell as well as groups, most notably the Fifth Monarchists.

Dynastic Marriages 1612/1615


A Celebration of the Habsburg and Bourbon Unions
Edited by Margaret M. McGowan, University of Sussex, UK
The union of the two royal houses - the Habsburgs and the Bourbons in the early seventeenth century illustrates the extent to which marriage was a tool of government in Renaissance Europe, and festivals a manifestation of power and cultural superiority. With contributions from scholars representing a range of disciplines, this volume provides an all-round view of the sequence of festivals and events surrounding the dynastic marriages which were agreed upon in 1612 but not celebrated until 1615 owing to the constant interruption of festivities by protestant uprisings.

Waterborne Pageants and Festivities in the Renaissance


Essays in Honour of J.R. Mulryne
Edited by Margaret Shewring and assisted by Linda Briggs, both at the University of Warwick, UK
As the first book-length study of waterborne festivities in Renaissance and early modern Europe, this collection of essays draws on a rich array of sources, many previously un-researched, to explore aspects of scenography, choreography, music, fashion, painting, sculpture, architecture, stage-and personnel-management and urban planning as evinced in spectacles staged on water. Often taking the form of re-enactments of naval battles or legendary seaborne quests, these festivals seek to buttress civic and national pride, make claims to mastery over the sea and landscape, and explore the imaginative as well as practical life of performance space which has been a hallmark of the research and publication of this volumes honorand, J.R.

Matter and Method in the Long Chemical Revolution


Laws of Another Order
Victor D. Boantza, University of Minnesota, USA
Science, Technology and Culture, 17001945

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.

The Power of Place


Edited by Melissa Calaresu, University of Cambridge, UK and Helen Hills, University of York, UK
Early modern Naples has been characterised as a marginal, wild and exotic place on the fringes of the European world, and the target of frequent Catholic missionary attempts to civilise the city. In recent historiography its reputation has suffered in relation to that of Venice, Florence and Rome, being often regarded as a city bypassed by the Renaissance and an emblem of cultural and political decline in the Italian peninsula. Yet, as this volume makes plain, such views limit our understanding, not only of a key Mediterranean city, but also of the wider social, cultural and political aspects of early modern Europe.

Pain, Pleasure and Perversity


Discourses of Suffering in Seventeenth-Century England
John R. Yamamoto-Wilson, Sophia University, Japan
Luthers 95 Theses begin and end with the concept of suffering, and the question of why a benevolent God allows his creations to suffer remains one of the central issues of religious thought. In order to chart the processes by which discourse relating to pain and suffering became marginalized during the period from the Renaissance to the end of the seventeenth century, this book examines a number of books on the subject translated into English from (mainly) Spanish and Italian. Combining elements of theology, literature and history, this book provides a fascinating perspective on one of the key conundrums of early modern religious history.

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.

Scholarly Self-Fashioning and Community in the Early Modern University


Edited by Richard Kirwan, University of Limerick, Ireland
A greater fluidity in social relations and hierarchies was experienced across Europe in the early modern period, a consequence of the major political and religious upheavals of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. During this time university scholars demonstrated a great energy when characterizing themselves socially as learned men. This book investigates the significance and implications of academic self-fashioning throughout Europe in the early modern period. It describes a general and growing deliberation in the fashioning of individual, communal and categorical academic identity in this period. It explores the reasons for this growing selfconsciousness among scholars, and the effects of its expression social and political, desired and real.

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.

Offering fresh interpretations of exile in the English Revolution and Restoration, this study explores the personal, political and religious ramifications of displacement, and shines a torch on the rich variety of literary modes through which it is articulated. Examining previously unstudied as well as canonical writings, it challenges conventional paradigms positing neat dividing lines of chronology, geography and allegiance in this seminal period of British and American history.

Political Ideas of Enlightenment Women


Virtue and Citizenship
Edited by Lisa Curtis-Wendlandt and Karen Green, both at Monash University, Australia and Paul Gibbard, University of New England, Australia
This edited collection showcases the contribution of women to the development of political ideas during the Enlightenment, and presents an alternative to the male-authored canon of philosophy and political thought. Recently, considerable scholarly attention has been paid to womens literary writing and their role in salon society, but their participation in political debates is less well studied. This volume offers new perspectives on some better known authors such as Mary Wollstonecraft, Catharine Macaulay and Anna Laetitia Barbauld, as well as neglected figures from the British Isles and continental Europe.

Calvin Meets Voltaire


The Clergy of Geneva in the Age of Enlightenment, 16851798
Jennifer Powell McNutt, Wheaton College, USA
Eighteenth-century Geneva offers a fascinating glimpse into the encounter between the Reformation and the Enlightenment in the figurative meeting of Calvin and Voltaire. This research supports a revisionist understanding of religion and the Enlightenment, moves beyond a simplistic paradigm of decline and secularization, and highlights how Genevas French connection ultimately uprooted a society still largely committed to its Protestant-Reformation origins.

Crime, Courtrooms and the Public Sphere in Britain, 1700-1850


Edited by David Lemmings, University of Adelaide, Australia
Focusing on the long eighteenth century this collection of essays charts the transition of British legal proceedings from early scenes of noise and disorder, to a much more rigid and solemn atmosphere by the start of the nineteenth century. Through an investigation as to the extent to which legal proceedings may be understood as theatre and counter-theatre; the impact of lawyers intervention in the courtroom; and the role and impact of print media in relation to trials, the volume opens up fascinating vistas upon the cultural dimensions of Britains law courts.

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.

Politics and Foreign Policy in the Age of George I, 1714-1727


Jeremy Black, University of Exeter, UK
Through its focus on the relationship between foreign and domestic politics, this book provides a new perspective on the events of George Is reign (1714-27). Based on a wealth of British and foreign primary sources, Black links diplomacy to domestic politics to show that foreign policy was a key aspect of government as well as the leading battleground both for domestic politics and for ministerial rivalries. As a result he demonstrates how party identities in foreign policy were not marginal, to either policy or party, but, instead, central to both.

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.

Ian Mitchell, University of Wolverhampton, UK
The History of Retailing and Consumption

SERIES
Science, Technology and Culture, 17001945
Series Editors: David M. Knight, University of Durham, UK and Trevor Levere, University of Toronto, Canada
Science, Technology and Culture, 1700-1945 focuses on the social, cultural, industrial and economic contexts of science and technology from the scientific revolution up to the Second World War. It addresses issues of the interaction of science, technology and culture in the period from 1700 to 1945, at the same time as including new research within the field of the history of science.

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.

Sweden in the Eighteenth-Century World


Provincial Cosmopolitans
Edited by Gran Rydn, Uppsala University, Sweden
Eighteenth-century Sweden was deeply involved in the process of globalisation: ships leaving Swedens central ports exported bar iron that would drive the Industrial Revolution, whilst arriving ships would bring not only exotic goods and commodities to Swedish consumers, but also new ideas and cultural practices with them. At the same time, Sweden was an agricultural country to a large extent governed by self-subsistence, and for most wealth was created within this structure. This volume brings together a group of scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds who seek to present a more nuanced and elaborated picture of the Swedish cosmopolitan eighteenth century. Together they paint a picture of Sweden that is more like the one eighteenth-century intellectuals imagined, and help to situate Sweden in histories of cosmopolitanism of the wider world.

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.

Meeting Places: Scientific Congresses and Urban Identity in Victorian Britain


Louise Miskell, Swansea University, UK
The four national associations studied in this book are the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS), the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science (NAPSS), the Royal Archaeological Institute (RAI) and the Royal Agricultural Society of England (RASE), who held annual meetings in 62 different provincial towns and cities from 1831 to 1884. In this book it is contended that these meetings were as important as royal visits and major civic ceremonies in providing towns with an opportunity to promote their own status and identity. By deploying a wealth of primary source material, this book offers a new and genuinely Britain-wide perspective on a period when comparison and competition with neighbouring places was a constant preoccupation of town leaders.

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.

Early Trench Tactics in the French Army


The Second Battle of Artois, May-June 1915
Jonathan Krause
In the English-speaking world the First World War is all too often portrayed primarily as a conflict between Britain and Germany. The vast majority of books focus on the Anglo-German struggle, and ignore the dominant part played by the French, who for most of the war provided the bulk of the soldiers fighting against the central powers. As such, this important and timely book joins the small but growing collection of works offering an overdue assessment of the French contribution to the Great War. Drawing heavily on French primary sources the book has two main foci: it is both an in-depth battle narrative and analysis, as well as a work on the tactical evolution of the French army in Spring 1915 as it endeavored aggressively to come to grips with trench warfare. Includes 6 b&w illustrations January 2013 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 198 pages 978-1-4094-5500-4 978-1-4094-5501-1 978-1-4094-7467-8 65.00

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.

Art in the Time of Colony


Khadija von Zinnenburg Carroll
Empires and the Making of the Modern World, 16502000

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.

British Artillery on the Western Front in the First World War


The Infantry cannot do with a gun less
Sanders Marble
Providing a systematic investigation into the evolving role of the artillery in the British Expeditionary Force, this study looks at how tactical and operational changes affected the overall Allied strategy. In line with the learning curve thesis, it argues that despite many setbacks and missed opportunities, by 1918 the Royal Artillery had developed effective methods to overcome the defensive advantages of trench warfare that had mired the Western Front in bloody stalemate for the previous three years.

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.

Childhood and Child Labour in Industrial England


Diversity and Agency, 17501914
Edited by Nigel Goose, University of Hertfordshire, UK and Katrina Honeyman, University of Leeds, UK
The purpose of this collection is to bring together representative examples of the most recent work that is taking an understanding of children and childhood in new directions. The two key overarching themes are diversity: social, economic, geographical, and cultural; and agency: the need to see children in industrial England as participants even protagonists in the process of historical change, not simply as passive recipients or victims. Contributors address such crucial subjects as the varied experience of work; poverty and apprenticeship; institutional care; the political voice of children; child sexual abuse; and children and education. This volume, therefore, includes some of the best, innovative work on the history of children and childhood currently being written by both younger and established scholars.

New Perspectives on British Army Chaplaincy in the First World War
Edited by Michael Snape, University of Birmingham, UK and Edward Madigan, Commonwealth War Graves Commission, UK
British army chaplains have not fared well in the mythology of the First World War. Like its commanders they have often been characterized as embodiments of ineptitude and hypocrisy. Yet, just as historians have reassessed the motives and performance of British generals, this collection offers fresh insights into the war record of British chaplains. As the most complete study of the subject to date, this collection marks a major advance in the historiography of the British army, of the British churches and of British society during the First World War.

19th and 20th-Century

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.

The Fox-Hunting Controversy, 17812004


Class and Cruelty
Allyson N. May, The University of Western Ontario, Canada
This is an engaging book, a fascinating read, which combines the social and literary histories of fox hunting, from the eighteenth century to the present day. Scholars as well as the general reader will savour the subtle analysis of class and other social relationships, of the place of the pony in childrens literature, and the astute judgments about the surprisingly widespread references to the hunt in recent as well as older literary works. Douglas Hay, York University, Canada Hugely popular in its own day, Peter Beckfords Thoughts on Hunting is often cited as marking the birth of modern hunting and continues to be quoted from affectionately today by the hunting fraternity. This study explores the attacks made on fox hunting from 1781 to the legal ban achieved in 2004, as well as assessing the reasons for its continued appeal and post-ban survival. Chapters cover debates in the areas of: class and hunting; concerns over cruelty and animal welfare; party politics; the hunt in literature; and nostalgia.

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.

Food and War in Mid-TwentiethCentury East Asia


Edited by Katarzyna J. Cwiertka, Leiden University, The Netherlands
War has been both an agent of destruction and a catalyst for innovation. These two, at first sight contradictory, yet mutually constitutive outcomes of war-waging are particularly pronounced in twentieth-century Asia. The disarray of war may halt economic activities and render many aspects of life insignificant but the need for food cannot be ignored and the social action that it requires continues in all circumstances. This book documents the effects of war on the lives of ordinary people through the investigation of a variety of connections that developed between war-waging and the production, distribution, preparation and consumption of food throughout Asia since the 1930s.

Freemasonry and the Press in the Twentieth Century


A National Newspaper Study of England and Wales
Paul Calderwood
By the end of the twentieth century, Freemasonry had acquired an unsavoury reputation as a secretive network of wealthy men looking out for each others interests. The popular view is of an organisation that, if not actually corrupt, is certainly viewed with deep mistrust by the press and wider society. Focusing particularly on the role of the press, this book investigates the transformation of the image of Freemasonry in Britain from respectability to suspicion. Through this examination a number of related social trends are addressed, including the decline of deference, the erosion of privacy, greater competition in the media, the emergence of more aggressive and investigative journalism, the consequences of media isolation and the rise of professional Public Relations.

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.

Eastern European Railways in Transition


Nineteenth to Twenty-first Centuries
Edited by Ralf Roth, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universitt, Germany, Henry Jacolin, consule diplomatique honoraire, France and August Veenendaal
Modern Economic and Social History

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.

Haig and Kitchener in Twentieth-Century Britain


Remembrance, Representation and Appropriation
Stephen Heathorn, McMaster University, Canada
This is an excellent and enjoyable book that makes readers think afresh about what they already know and persuade them of its interpretation. The direction and the methodology is innovative and makes a real contribution to the fields of modern British history and the study of the remembrance of the First World War. Heathorn is particularly to be congratulated on his ability to match the history of the memorialisation of Kitchener and Haig into a broader history of Britain in the twentieth century an impressive achievement. Dan Todman, Queen Mary University of London, UK Lord Kitchener and Lord Haig are two monumental figures of the First World War. Their reputations, both in their lifetimes and after their deaths, have been attacked and defended, scrutinized and contested. The material representations of Haig and Kitchener were shaped, used and manipulated for official and popular ends by a variety of groups at different times during the twentieth century. The purpose of this study is not to discover the real individual, nor to attack or defend their reputations, rather it is an exploration of how both men have been depicted since their deaths and to consider what this tells us about the nature and meaning of First World War commemoration.

The British Pacific Fleet Experience and Legacy, 194450


Jon Robb-Webb, Joint Services Command and Staff College and Kings College London, UK
The British Pacific Fleet (BPF) was formed in October 1944 and dispatched to fight alongside the USN in the Central Pacific under Admiral Nimitz. This study explores the role of the BPF and its legacy through each level of war, from the grand strategic, through the military strategic and operational levels down to the tactical level. What is revealed through this approach is not just a new understanding of the importance of the BPF but also how interconnected each of the levels is. Written after extensive primary research the book also brings to light material drawn from the Admiraltys own secret Monthly Intelligence Reports, illustrating how the experience of the war in the Pacific would cast a long shadow over the very different circumstances of the post-war world.

Preparing for Blockade 1885-1914


Naval Contingency for Economic Warfare
Stephen Cobb
It is argued in this book that, from the 1880s there was a widely shared, but largely unwritten, strategic acceptance in British naval thinking that in a war with a major power the response would be to attack enemy trade. In line with the current view that seapower depends upon free communications, the book concludes by asserting that the primary role of the Grand Fleet in the First World War was to guarantee the ability of the Northern Blockade to interdict German maritime trade, rather than to engage in large set-piece battles. Includes 10 b&w illustrations and 2 maps March 2013 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 374 pages 978-1-4094-3419-1 978-1-4094-3420-7 978-1-4094-7322-0 70.00

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.

SERIES
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.

Little Red Scares


Anti-Communism and Political Repression in the United States, 1921-1946
Edited by Robert Justin Goldstein, University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, USA
Anti-communism has long been a potent force in American politics, capable of gripping both government and popular attention. Nowhere is this more evident that the two great red scares of 1919-20 and 1946-54; the latter generally if somewhat inaccurately termed McCarthyism. By focusing on the interim period between the two major red scares, this volume makes clear that the lingering effects of 1919-20 and the gathering storm-clouds of McCarthyism were clearly visible throughout the 20s and 30s. In so doing the rationale and motivations for the red scares are contexualised as part of an evolving political narrative, rather than as isolated bouts of hysteria exploding onto and then vanishing from the political landscape.

Performing Nordic Heritage


Everyday Practices and Institutional Culture
Edited by Peter Aronsson, Linkping University, Sweden, and Lizette Gradn, Nordic Heritage Museum and University of Washington, USA
The performance of heritage takes place in prestigious institutions such as museums and archives, in officially sanctioned spaces such as jubilees and public monuments, but also in more mundane, ephemeral and banal cultural practices, such as naming of phenomena, viewing exhibitions or walking in the countryside. This volume examines the performance of Nordic heritage and the shaping of the very idea of Norden in diverse contexts in North America, the Baltic and the Nordic countries and examines the importance of these places as sites for creating and preserving cultural heritage.

Lord Robert Cecil


Politician and Internationalist
Gaynor Johnson, University of Salford, UK
Lawyer, politician, diplomat and leading architect of the League of Nations; Robert Cecil, 1st Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, was one of Britains most significant statesmen of the twentieth century. Yet despite his prominence in the international peace movement, Cecil has, until now, never been the focus of an academic biography. Cecil has perhaps been judged unfairly due to his association with the League of Nations, which has since been generally regarded as a failure. However, recent academic research has highlighted the contribution of the League to the creation of many of the institutions and precepts that have, since the Second World War, become accepted parts of the international system, not least the United Nations.

Science, Geopolitics and Culture in the Polar Region


Norden Beyond Borders
Edited by Sverker Srlin
Throughout the twentieth century, glaciologists and geophysicists in Norway and Sweden, as well as Danish geoscientists and ice core scientists in Greenland, made important contributions to polar field science. It is in the polar regions, especially in the Arctic, where Norden has a strong presence and a geopolitical significance that punches far above its weight in terms of population, geographical size, or economic activity. This volume explores the critical issues related to the significance of an Arctic Norden. Empirically the contributors focus on science relations between Sweden and Norway in the twentieth century and their contributions to policy and diplomacy, particularly in the International Polar Years, but the perspective in the book includes a wider North Atlantic realm. Includes 31 b&w illustrations August 2013 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 400 pages 978-1-4724-0969-0 978-1-4724-0970-6 978-1-4724-0971-3 70.00

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.

The caf as an institutional site has been the subject of renewed interest amongst scholars in the past decade, and its role in the development of art, ideas and culture has been explored in some detail. However, few have investigated the ways in which cafs create a cultural and intellectual space which brings together multiple influences and intellectual practices and shapes the urban settings of which they are a part.

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.

Writing a Small Nations Past


Wales in Comparative Perspective, 18501950
Edited by Huw Pryce, Bangor University, UK and Neil Evans, Cardiff University, UK
This is the first volume to examine how the history of Wales was written in a period that saw the emergence of professional historiography, largely focused on the nation, across Europe and in the United States. It thus sets Wales in the context of recent work on national history writing in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and, more particularly, offers a Welsh perspective on the ways in which history was written in small, mainly stateless, nations. The comparative dimension is fundamental to the volumes aim, highlighting what was distinctive about Welsh historical writing and showing how the Welsh experience mirrors and illuminates broader historiographical developments.

Young People and the Shaping of Public Space in Melbourne, 18701914


Simon Sleight, Kings College London, UK and Monash University, Australia
Ashgate Studies in Childhood, 1700 to the Present

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.

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.

The History of the Book in East Asia


Edited by Cynthia Brokaw, Brown University, USA and Peter Kornicki, University of Cambridge, UK
