Taylor & Francis Ltd Cultures and Literatures in Dialogue
Book SynopsisThis book addresses the narrative construction of Russian cultural memory in the work of Julian Barnes. It investigates how Barnes''s texts tend to display a memory process as a transcultural mode of the creation of English and Russian national identities. Examining a need to revisit Russian canonical works, the detailed discursive analysis of the selected English texts exposes an intertextual remembering by duplication, thus contributing to the prevention of forgetting through the recuperation of still misrecollected cultural meanings. By creatively incorporating Russian intertextual elements into his work as a novelist, the author seems to insist on sweeping across and beyond national boundaries, revealing how frail the invention of tradition is when leading to the illusion of a solid collective memory and its political legitimation. The book considers not only a constructive dialogue between Barnes's fiction and Russian classical literature, but also this writer's interpretative,Table of ContentsIntroduction: Rethinking literature through memoryChapter 1: Cultural dimension of literary memoryChapter 2: Narrative and memory in Julian Barnes Chapter 3: Patterning transcultural readings of memory Conclusion: Narrative irresolvability of memory

Taylor & Francis Ltd Biography
Book SynopsisBiography: An Historiography examines how Western historians have used biography from the nineteenth century to the present considering the problems and challenges that historians have faced in their biographical practice systematically.This volume analyses the strategies and methods that historians have used in response to seven major issues identified over time to do with evidence, including but not limited to the problem of causation, the problem of fact and fiction, the problem of other minds, the problem of significance or representativeness, the problems of perspective, both macro and micro, and the problem of subjectivity and relative truth.This volume will be essential for both postgraduates and historians studying biography.Trade Review"A hugely enjoyable read, deeply researched and knowledgeable, with an effective mix of structure, theory, and personality, as befits its subject. Very wide-ranging, it’s peppered with names and connections. In squaring a number of circles, Biography: a Historiography is a single-handed refutation of any misgivings historians may have as to the biographer and their craft." Dr Martin Farr, Newcastle University, UK"[I]t’s a big, authoritative work with a dazzling range of research and reference, and passionate engagement with ideas and issues. A book to think with!" Professor Richard Holmes, FRSL, FBA, OBE, Hon. Fellow of Churchill College Cambridge"This is a most welcome addition to the literature on biography which will be attractive to readers in several different disciplines. Historians will like its very firm grounding in the development of historical writing since the nineteenth century; students of literature will learn much from its studies of the Bloomsbury biographers and life writing today; while social scientists will find much to explore and applaud in its confident discussion of concepts and methodology. The discussion of biography is integrated with the discussion of general historiography. Our pre-existing historiographical familiarity helps us to appreciate the novelty of the author’s biographical arguments all the more."Professor Lawrence Goldman, Oxford University, UK"There are numerous monographs on biography as a genre but no single text dealing with historians and biography, and yet historians are a major producer of biographies. Melanie Nolan’s Biography: A Historiography provides the first systematic and focussed consideration of historians’ biographical approaches and practices. It is a far ranging and much needed work, competently executed and underpinned by an impressive array of research." Professor Douglas Munro, University of Queensland, AustraliaTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Analysts Preconscious
Book SynopsisHow do the analyst''s consciously held theoretical commitments intersect with the actual conduct of analysis? Do commitments to notions like psychic truth or analytic neutrality affect interpretive style, the willingness to acknowledge treatment mistakes, and other pragmatic preferences? Does the commitment to cerain comcepts entail commitment to related ideas and practices to the exclusion of others?This is the uncharted domain that Victoria Hamilton explores in The Analyst''s Preconscious. At the heart of her endeavor is an imaginatively conceived empirical investigation revolving around in-depth interviews with 65 leading analysts in the United States and Britain. In these lively and free-ranging discussions, the reader encounter firsthand the thoughtfulness with which practitioners wrestle with the ambiguous relations between various theoretical positions, whether or not their own, and the exigencies of the therapeutic encounter. The resuTrade Review"The Analyst's Preconscious is the most innovative book on psychoanalytic theory in print today. Victoria Hamilton adots a totally new perspective on the understanding of psychoanalytic theories and, in so doing, provides an enlightening commentary on the evolution of psychoanalytic ideas. Her grasp of psychoanalytic theory is breathtaking, and her book makes an essential companion to any course that aims to convey that theory in a comprehensive way. At the same time, it will provide all practitioners with profound insights into the ways in which their learning translates into the styles and strategies of everyday clinical work."- Peter Fonagy, Ph.D., University College, London"Early on in my reading of Victoria Hamilton's The Analyst's Preconscious, I became astonished that nobody had written on this subject before. One reason may be: What an enormous amount of work! Hamilton's rigor, fairmindedness, and clarity are exemplary, and her very readable interviews provide the best view I can imagine of how analysts really think about what they do. Though this was undoubtedly not part of Hamilton's intention, her book is a tribute to her profession."- Marcia Cavell, Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley"Victoria Hamilton succeeds in getting right into the minds of analysts of different persuasions, and in demonstrating the great and often unexpected differences in the way they approach their work. This is a beautifully written, fascinating, and highly stimulating account of a major research project, the results of which will undoubtedly demolish many cherished ideas about the different schools of psychoanalysis and the ways in which different practitioners structure their analytic technique."- Joseph Sandler, Ph.D., University of London Table of ContentsIntroduction.

St Martin's Press The Mysterious Mrs. Nixon
Book SynopsisA new, revolutionary look into the brilliant life of Pat Nixon.In America's collective consciousness, Pat Nixon has long been perceived as enigmatic. She was voted Most Admired Woman in the World in 1972 and made Gallup Poll's top ten list of most admired women fourteen times. She survived the turmoil of the Watergate scandal with her popularity and dignity intact. The real Pat Nixon, however, bore little resemblance to the woman so often described as elusive, mysterious and plastic in the press. Pat married Richard Nixon in June of 1940. As the couple rose to prominence, Pat became Second Lady from 1953-1961 and then First Lady from 1969-1974, forging her own graceful path between the protocols of the strait-laced mid-century and the bra-burning Sixties and Seventies.Pat was a highly travelled First Lady, visiting eighty-three countries during her tenure. After a devastating earthquake in Peru in 1970, she personally flew in medical supplies and food to hard-

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Eisenhower and the Cold War Arms Race
Book SynopsisUnder the growing shadow of the Cold War, President Eisenhower announced his ''Open Skies'' initiative to Soviet, British and French delegations at the Geneva Summit in 1955. In a climate of intense fear and suspicion, this proposed system of mutual aerial inspection was dismissed by Khrushchev and the Soviet Union as nothing more than an ''espionage plot''. Nevertheless, Eisenhower campaigned for its implementation until the end of his presidency. Here, Helen Bury provides a new interpretation of Eisenhower''s ''Open Skies'' programme, arguing that it functioned as a corrective to John Foster Dulles'' ''New Look'' defence strategy - which relied on the threat of massive nuclear retaliation. A critic of the ''military-industrial'' complex which was gaining power in American statecraft and which sought to expand military spending, Eisenhower aimed instead to safeguard the economic strength of America.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Hugh TrevorRoper
Book SynopsisHugh Trevor-Roper was one of the most gifted historians of the 20th century. His scholarly interests ranged widely - from the Puritan Revolution to the Scottish Enlightenment. Yet he was also fascinated by the events of his own lifetime and wrote widely on issues of espionage and intelligence, as well as maintaining a fascination with the workings - and personalities - of Nazi Germany. In this volume, a variety of contributors - many of whom knew Trevor-Roper personally - engage with his scholarship and analyse his finest achievements as an historian. Covering the full range of Trevor-Roper''s interests, this book is essential reading for anyone who wishes to better understand this great academic and his work.Trade ReviewThis book is full of good things. Noel Malcolm's chapter...is a model of clear exposition, sense and wit...Blair Worden's introduction is a consummate summary of Trevor-Roper's work as a historian.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Radical Diplomat
Book SynopsisAt the height of Britain's 20th century power, Sir Archibald Clark Kerr reached the pinnacle of his remarkable and controversial career. He served in vital diplomatic posts and was a major figure in determining and executing British foreign policy. His vital work with Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin is regarded as being crucial to the wartime alliance and, after the war, he was rewarded with the post of Ambassador to the US. Kerr helped develop both the Marshall Plan and the foundation of NATO and was influential in the USA and Britain's Cold War alliance. Based on specialist access to the vast Inverchapel archive, Donald Gillies argues against questions of his loyalty and addresses assumptions of his left-wing and anti-imperialist views.Table of ContentsIntroduction: From a Far Country Maps 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Paulo Freire
Book SynopsisPaulo Freire (1921-1997) is one of the most widely read and studied educational thinkers of our time. His seminal works, including Pedagogy of the Oppressed, sparked the global social and philosophical movement of critical pedagogy and his ideas about the close ties between education and social justice and politics are as relevant today as they ever were. In this book, Walter Omar Kohan interweaves philosophical, educational, and biographical elements of Freire's life which prompt us to reflect on what we thought we knew about Freire, and also on the relationship between education and politics more broadly. It offers a new and timely reading of Freire's work and life. The book is structured around five key themes that provide a new perspective on Freire's work: life, equality, love, errantry and childhood. It includes a contextualization of Freire's work within the past and current political terrain in Brazil, and encourages educators to put themselves and their educational worTrade ReviewKohan has succeeded in the task of presenting very original ideas about the often taken-for-granted Freirean repertoire ... [He] concludes his book with examples and practical suggestions for experimenting with his five Freirean philosophical principles that every educator with enough courage to re-invent their pedagogical model could implement. * International Review of Education *This is not another book about Freire, but a thoughtful thinking from and with Paulo’s intensely lived philosophy-as-education-as-life in which uncertainties -not certainty-, and the political-pedagogical imperatives of questioning and humanity reigned. Necessary reading, without a doubt, for these present times. * Catherine E. Walsh, Distinguished Professor in Latin American Cultural Studies, Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar, Ecuador *Offers a fresh an innovative analysis of key postulates in Freire's work, such as Love or Equality, central components of the emancipation logic in Freire's epistemology. Relating them to gnoseological educative principles, this book traces some of Freire's philosophical propaedeutical roots and underscores his relevance today. A tour de force, philosophically confronting how the shadow of dominant educational neoliberal regimes, such as testing and accountability or the logic of possessive individualism as the main aim of education, have failed to emancipate individuals and societies, while also undermining the foundations of the scientific humanism represented in Freire's oeuvre. * Carlos Alberto Torres, Distinguished Professor of Education, UNESCO Chair in Global Learning and Global Citizenship Education, and Director of the Paulo Freire Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), USA *I cannot think of a better book to assist the many educators and scholars seeking inspiration to create pedagogies of freedom. Kohan generously presents paths to move beyond simplistic readings of ineffective, yet, radical-sounding educational models, while beautifully providing a bold and much needed 're-invention' of Freire’s ideas. * Gustavo E. Fischman, Professor of Comparative and International Education, Arizona State University, USA *A major contribution to the voluminous literature on Freire, a magisterial chronicle of Kohan's profound and extensive encounter with life, work and ideas of the 'great educator from Pernumbuco.' It is a work that promises to resonate with readers for years to come. * David Kennedy, Professor of Educational Foundations, Montclair State University, USA *Paulo Freire: A Philosophical Biography is a necessary read.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Ptolemy I Soter
Book SynopsisPtolemy I, whose epithet was Savior, was in many respects the most successful of all of Alexander the Great's successors. He created the longest lasting of the Hellenistic kingdoms that rose in the aftermath of the great conqueror's death, ending with the death of Cleopatra VII and Egypt's incorporation into the Roman Empire. This book is not a standard biography, but rather an examination of the major issues surrounding Ptolemy's reign, the major controversies and questions surrounding his career and legacy. What were his ultimate ambitions? How did he administer his kingdom? What was his role in the demise of the unified empire created by Alexander? Ptolemy''s administration of this foreign land, although privileging colonists from Greece and Macedonia over native Egyptians, maintained a level of political stability in a land with a long history of resisting foreign rule.

Innovative in approach and making new critical ideas accessible, each chapter maps out the key principles of such writers as Barthes, Lacan, Derrida, Lewis Mehl-Madrona, Philippe Le Jeune and Joseph Campbell, invokes literary examples to show how other writers have mastered the idea before reflecting on how you can practically apply the theory to your writing. With original exercises and prompts for further reading that bridge the gap between the theoretical and how it might be put into practice, the book is attentive to the multiple facets of the genre of nonfiction writing generally, covering such topics as: - The writer/ reader contract- How to embark on a thematic/ symbolic exploration of thTable of ContentsIntroduction: What is radical memoir?

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Scholarship and Controversy
Book SynopsisThe essays collected in this volume were written to mark the centenary of the birth of Sir Kenneth Dover, one of the twentieth century's most influential classical scholars. Between them, they explore the two major sides of his career: his groundbreaking scholarship on Greek language, literature and history, and the more public-facing roles he assumed in universities and at the British Academy which brought him into the national spotlight, not without some notoriety, in his later years. The contributors consider the various facets of Dover''s life and work from a range of perspectives which reflect the burgeoning field of the history of scholarship. Some contributors were students and colleagues of Dover's at different stages of his career, while others are themselves leading experts in areas of Classics to which he devoted his energies. Chapters on his academic publications and on the controversies he faced in the public realm are not bland celebrations of his legacy but of
