Taylor & Francis Ltd Sexual and Gender Difference in the British Navy
Book SynopsisThis volume is a collection of a variety of important records that will give readers insight into key themes into the history of what its criminal code called the unnatural and detestable sin of buggery- sex between males - in the Royal Navy. The richest sources are transcripts of trials, including ones that erupted into public scandals and ones that provide a vivid window into the sexual cultures of the navy. The book also provides lists of important records in the naval archive and will serve as a guide to finding and interpreting them. This important volume, accompanied by extensive editorial commentary, opens up this history and archive to researchers, teachers, and students studying queer history, the history of gender and sexuality, and naval and maritime history.Table of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroduction Part 1: Tolerance and Punishment "The Unnatural and Detestable Sin": The Ban on Same-Sex Contact in the Articles of War (1661 and 1749) "He was Pleased with all his other Attempts upon Him": Relationships between Three Sailors from HMS Expedition (1705) Vigilante Violence: An Attack on a Member of the "Vile Clan" (1731) Avoiding Trial: A Newspaper Reports Discretionary Punishments (1735) Sex in the Foretop: The trial of Hugh Ducaty and William Tofts (1738) "A Very Extraordinary Kind of Sea Discipline": "Amazonian" Women Punish Buggery on HMS Princess Amelia (1742) Punishing and Permitting Same-Sex Acts at Sea: Press Coverage (1747, 1757) Executing a Boy for Buggery: The George Newton and Thomas Finley Trial (1761) "I Did What I Had no Right to Do": Captain Graham Moore Chooses Summary Punishment (1788, 1793) "Striking Examples": The Admiralty Attempts to Punish Marine James Parker (1811) How to Prosecute Same-Sex Acts: Naval Jurist John McArthur on Buggery at Sea (1813) "The Last Person in the Ship I Should Have Suspected": The Trial of Seaman Thomas Randall (1815) "A Tragic Incident": Lieutenant John Towne’s Account of a Buggery Hanging (1833) Part 2: Queer Tars "It was much better to lay with one another": Quartermaster Thomas Pike Plans an Assignation on HMS York (1701) "An Odd Affair which Lately Happened": A Cross-Dressing Cabin Boy (1739) "A Backdoor Man": Marine Officers Fight over Masculinity in a Plymouth Tavern (1755) "Tender Expressions… Not Becoming Men": Intimacy Between Officers on HMS Raven (1775) "The Little Female Tar": A Cross-Dressing Sailor Testifies in a Buggery Trial (1809) "A Correspondence… Not Fit to be Named": Tobias Smollett’s Captain Whiffle and Mr. Simper (1748) "I am No Man to be Tried by a Court Martial": A Sailor Pleads "Neutrality of Gender" (1803) "The Childish Vice of Boys": Adolescent Sexual Activity Aboard HMS Africaine (1816) "A Thorn Has Been Given Him In the Flesh": Naval Officer James Woolls Describes His Same-Sex Desire (1818) Part 3: In Print Reports of Same-Sex Acts in Seventeenth-Century Newspapers (1650, 1654) "Any Port in a Storm": A Sailor Risks Sodomy in Fanny Hill (1748) The Lieutenant Thomas Wye Affair: A Buggery Case on Shore (1755-56) "Indecent Familiarities with Mankind": William Benbow Recalls the Captain Charles Sawyer Scandal (1823) "A Case of Unparalleled Hardship": Lieutenant Arthur W.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Crisis of British Sea Power
Book SynopsisThis work is a close examination of the conditions surrounding and precipitating the last gasp of British naval hegemony and events that led to its demise. Great Britain undertook a massive naval building program in the late-1930s in order to deter aggression and secure dominance at sea against her nascent enemies, Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. But the failure of the policy of Appeasement to deter war or delay it into the early 1940s left the building program only partially complete, and the exigencies of war led to the cancellation of the critical but costly and time-consuming Lion class battleships, and the slow delivery of the 1940 battlecruiser (HMS Vanguard) and two vital fleet carriers. Adding to these issues, the fall of France spurred the USA to initiate her own, even larger, naval building program, and together with the entry of the powerful and capable Imperial Japanese Navy completely overwhelmed Britain's position as the world's premier naval power.T

Taylor & Francis Towards a Very British Version of the âœCulture
Book SynopsisThis book examines the emergence and the political use of what has come to be known as âœculture warsâ in the United Kingdom.Adopting multidisciplinary perspectives, it investigates the ways in which cultural identities are used for political ends. The book bridges the conceptual and theoretical gap in fully understanding the so-called culture wars in a British context; as such, it envisages debates as part of a larger political project to gain popular support by tapping into votersâ sense of neglect by the political elite. Applying the concept of âœnational populismâ as a binding conceptual framework for the book, a prestigious panel of international experts offer thorough analyses to show that not enough attention is being paid to what may be considered as an âœescalationâ of culture wars, and to how divisions have been accentuated by political elites to deliberately exacerbate them.This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and readers in British politi

Taylor & Francis Ltd Freuds British Family
Book SynopsisFreud's British Family presents ground-breaking research into the lives of the British branch of the Freud family, their connections to the founder of psychoanalysis, and into Freud's relationship to Britain.Documenting the complex relationships the elder Freud brothers had with their much younger brother Sigmund, Freud's British Family reveals the significant influence these hitherto largely forgotten Freuds had on the mental economy of the founder of psychoanalysis. Roger Willoughby shows how these key family relationships helped shape Freud's thinking, attitudes, and theorising, including emerging ideas on rivalry, the Oedipus complex, character, and art. In addition to considering their correspondence and meetings with Freud in Continental Europe, the book carefully documents Freud's own visits to his brothers and to Britain in 1875 and again in 1908. Freud's British Family concludes with a discussion of Freud's final 15 months in London after he left

Taylor & Francis Forging the Iron Lady
Book SynopsisThis book tells the story of the rise of Margaret Thatcher in the context of crises assailing Britain in the 1970s and how her ascent to power ushered in the neoliberal era.Forging the Iron Lady details her journey from relative obscurity to the pinnacle of power as a collective, as well as personal, tale and how an uncertain chain of events, influenced through ideas and political agency, opened the path to certain outcomes while throwing up barriers to others. It is her âœorigin storyâ as the Iron Lady. It examines a dramatic phase in her political advance and how the tumultuous politics of the 1970s shaped her as a politician and her political ideals, and how the conditions necessary to bring about major political-economic changes were created, leading to three decades of neoliberalism. In doing so, this book offers a better understanding of the political conditions needed for a change in political-economic orders.This book is of key interest to scholars, stud

Taylor & Francis Evidence Crime and Forensics in the Early Modern
Book SynopsisRecent historians have pinpointed the ways in which legal systems in early modern Europe were improvisational, flexible, and contingent rather than immovable, hierarchical, and gendered. Crime, Evidence, and Forensics in the Early Modern Mediterranean amplifies such findings by looking at law and its consumers in the Mediterranean, broadly imagined, between 1500-1750. The volumeâs essays enhance our awareness of how crimes were defined, evidence was offered, and forensic awareness appeared in secular, inquisitorial, and specially commissioned courts in Spain, Italy, and the Hapsburg Balkans.This collection threads an important needle: our authors recognize formal chains of command and legal commonplaces, but nonetheless emphasize how such factors could be challenged, manipulated, or ignored by illiterate and vulnerable populations. It turns out that ordinary individuals in the early modern Mediterranean did not find themselves limited in their legal options, and their degree of sophistication in court speaks volumes about networks of legal knowledge. Furthermore, in no way does the use of the courts between 1500-1750 imply more âœrationalâ ways of seeking justice, since emotions were always firmly on display, even if rage and regret were being deployed for performative reasons.Crime, Evidence, and Forensics in the Early Modern Mediterranean illustrates the range of questions we can put to archival sources from the early modern Mediterranean, with plentiful insights as to how legal sources can illuminate history from below. This collection will be a welcome addition for undergraduate and graduate courses on European history, as well as a provocative resource for more general audiences.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Evolution in Victorian Britain
Book SynopsisThis volume provides the readers with a broad but detailed consideration of a wide array of transmutationist thinkers who published before Darwin. Highlighting some of those whom Darwin later acknowledged as well as number he chose not to, readers are shown that the notion that none of these earlier thinkers offered a well-developed or workable theory of evolution is untenable once we read their own words. Further, we will quickly see that transmutation, or the developmental hypothesis' as it was also sometimes called, had a wide audience across the period under consideration.Scholars such as Adrian Desmond have already drawn attention to the political radicals in the London and Edinburgh medical schools who embraced the transmutationist ideas of the French anatomists Etienne Geoffroy Saint Hilaire and the naturalist and zoologist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, and the historians John van Wyhe and Roger Cooter have highlighted the materialist naturalism of phrenologists whose work wa

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Hitlers Secret Bankers
Book SynopsisThere were no death certificates issued at Auschwitz. Nevertheless, Swiss banks still demand them before handing over the assets of account holders killed in the Holocaust to their surviving relatives. When the Jews of Europe entrusted their families'' wealth to what they hoped would be a safe haven the banks of Switzerland they were wrong. Millions of dollars, deposited decades ago in good faith by Jews who were to die in the Nazi genocide, still lie in their vaults, earning interest and providing working capital for Swiss banks. However the involvement of neutral Switzerland in the finances of the Third Reich goes far beyond the dispute over dormant accounts. Swiss banks were the key foreign currency providers of the Nazi war machine; they knowingly accepted looted gold, stolen from the national banks of occupied Europe; and they operated an international banking centre for the Third Reich. Reissued with a new afterword, Adam LeBor reveals the true extent to whicTrade ReviewExtensively researched...

Pen & Sword Books Ltd MANFRED VON RICHTHOFEN
Book SynopsisIt is more than a hundred years since Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron', was killed in combat on the Western Front. Yet this gallant fighter pilot is probably as well known today as he was his lifetime. Beginning in 1916, when his lethal skills were first realised, his image proved a godsend to his country's propaganda machine. There, far above the misery of life in the trenches, was a shooting star of unimaginable potency to help pacify a weary nation that was now beginning to believe that the war was no longer necessary or the losses justified. And so, an image of chivalry was conjured up and exploited with little regard of the cost of this to an increasingly war weary man. _Manfred von Richthofen: The Red Baron and the High Price of Glory_ draws on many sources, some previously untapped, including interviews with pilots he fought alongside and against, official documents held in collections around the world and the work of three noted Great War historians, two of whom began

Pen & Sword Books Hitler at Hintersee
Book SynopsisHitler at Hintersee tells two stories. On the one hand there is Gerhard Bartels, who still lives at Hintersee outside Berchtesgaden. As a small boy Gerhard was photographed on a number of occasions with Adolf Hitler when the Führer visited Hintersee. Gerhard tell us about his life growing up in an area frequented by senior members of the Nazi hierarchy. He talks about the lives of ordinary local people and how the remaining German forces in the area considered putting up a last defence as the Allies advanced towards Berchtesgaden and Hintersee in April and May 1945. His family hotel was taken over as a last stand headquarters. This fascinating book also examines the significance of the region to the ruthless all-powerful regime and why the Nazi leadership established a southern headquarters on the Obersalzberg above Berchtesgaden. It reveals Hitler's connection to the area and looks at why he was initially drawn to this beautiful Alpine region in 1923. Hitler's close links with Ber

Cambridge Scholars Publishing Taken as Red Highs and Lows of the Labour Party
Book SynopsisThis book comprises tales of the Labour Party in the hundred years since the first Labour government. It includes many dramatic episodes, not least the seething anger of the Glasgow rent strikes during the Great War, the looming danger of Hitler in the 1930s, and walkouts over equal pay in the 1960s. The book conjures up lost worlds which have profoundly influenced modern Britain. Above all, this book describes the ways in which the Labour Party has impacted on the lives of ordinary people. How does Labour measure up after a century of government and opposition? The book is accessible and challenges established narratives. It is also original. No-one else, for example, has written so specifically about the Labour Party and Nazi rearmament or about the Wilson government's response to the Beeching cuts. The text draws on a wide variety of sources, including the testimony of public figures such as John Betjeman, Richard Hoggart, Friedrich Engels, and George Orwell. Researched with scholar

Book SynopsisBruges was undoubtedly one of the most important cities in medieval Europe. Bringing together specialists from both archaeology and history, this ''total'' history presents an integrated view of the city''s history from its very beginnings, tracing its astonishing expansion through to its subsequent decline in the sixteenth century. The authors'' analysis of its commercial growth, industrial production, socio-political changes, and cultural creativity is grounded in an understanding of the city''s structure, its landscape and its built environment. More than just a biography of a city, this book places Bruges within a wider network of urban and rural development and its history in a comparative framework, thereby offering new insights into the nature of a metropolis.Trade Review'A team of the best specialists presents an up-to-date overview of medieval Bruges, the metropolis of North-Western Europe, linking the Mediterranean and the Northern markets, innovative in commercial techniques as well as in the production of refined arts-and-crafts. All aspects are integrated in a social framework explaining the city's exceptional creativity.' Wim Blockmans, University of Leiden'Within these pages, the urban biography of a metropolis unfolds: in the Middle Ages, Bruges was a powerful, lively and seductive city which positioned itself at the heart of networks of power between the cities of Europe, and also in their collective imagination.

Cambridge University Press Plotting for Peace
Book SynopsisWith Britain by late 1916 facing the prospect of an economic crisis and increasingly dependent on the US, rival factions in Asquith''s government battled over whether or not to seek a negotiated end to the First World War. In this riveting new account, Daniel Larsen tells the full story for the first time of how Asquith and his supporters secretly sought to end the war. He shows how they supported President Woodrow Wilson''s efforts to convene a peace conference and how British intelligence, clandestinely breaking American codes, aimed to sabotage these peace efforts and aided Asquith''s rivals. With Britain reading and decrypting all US diplomatic telegrams between Europe and Washington, these decrypts were used in a battle between the Treasury, which was terrified of looming financial catastrophe, and Lloyd George and the generals. This book''s findings transform our understanding of British strategy and international diplomacy during the war.Trade Review'This ground-breaking book transforms our understanding of British policy and American mediation during the First World War, incorporating the missing dimension of spies, codes and intelligence, together with new insights from economic history. It corrects many of the distortions in our current understanding of this crucial conflict.' Richard J. Aldrich, author of GCHQ: The Uncensored Story of Britain's Most Secret Intelligence Agency'Dr Larsen challenges assumptions both about how to write international history and about the events of 1914-1917.

Cambridge University Press The Origins of the British Empire in Asia
Book SynopsisThis is an important, revisionist account of the origins of the British Empire in Asia in the early modern period. David Veevers uncovers a hidden world of transcultural interactions between servants of the English East India Company and the Asian communities and states they came into contact with, revealing how it was this integration of Europeans into non-European economies, states and societies which was central to British imperial and commercial success rather than national or mercantilist enterprise. As their servants skilfully adapted to this rich and complex environment, the East India Company became enfranchised by the eighteenth century with a breadth of privileges and rights from governing sprawling metropolises to trading customs-free. In emphasising the Asian genesis of the British Empire, this book sheds new light on the foreign frameworks of power which fuelled the expansion of Global Britain in the early modern world.Trade Review'David Veevers' book settles several long-standing debates about whether the origins of the East India Company's empire lay in Europe or Asia. He also shows convincingly how the relationship between the two came to re-shape each.' David Washbrook, Trinity College, University of Cambridge'In this exceptionally detailed and extensively researched work, Veevers astutely traces the origins of the East India Company's empire through over a century of complex encounters with people and polities across Asia, amplifying the ever-loudening death knell for the notion that that empire somehow only emerged, suddenly and unexpectedly, at the Battle of Plassey.' Philip Stern, Duke University, North Carolina'David Veevers' book will appeal to students and scholars of the early modern British Empire by offering a sophisticated and compelling discussion of the circumstances in which European empire-building in Asia took place in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, fully alive to the nuances and complexities of those processes.' John McAleer, University of Southampton'… detailed narrative of these British men's perceptions enriches ongoing scholarly debates.' M. H.

Cambridge University Press The Case for Scottish Independence
Book SynopsisScottish nationalism is a powerful movement in contemporary politics, yet the goal of Scottish independence emerged surprisingly recently into public debate. The origins of Scottish nationalism lie not in the medieval battles for Scottish statehood, the Acts of Union, the Scottish Enlightenment, or any other traditional historical milestone. Instead, an influential separatist Scottish nationalism began to take shape only in the 1970s and achieved its present ideological maturity in the course of the 1980s and 1990s. The nationalism that emerged from this testing period of Scottish history was unusual in that it demanded independence not to defend a threatened ancestral culture but as the most effective way to promote the agenda of the left. This accessible and engaging account of the political thought of Scottish nationalism explores how the arguments for Scottish independence were crafted over some fifty years by intellectuals, politicians and activists, and why these ideas had such a seismic impact on Scottish and British politics in the 2014 independence referendum.Trade Review'Sure to become a landmark study, this book maps the intellectual heritage of Scottish nationalism with unrivalled clarity and precision. Ben Jackson re-opens the subject for scholars and students alike, patiently revealing complexity and continuity beneath the shifting electoral surface. Lucid, penetrating and timely.' Scott Hames, University of Stirling'A well-written and thoroughly researched book outlining the intellectual formation of a civic nationalism in Scotland that set its face against ethnic and racial notions of Scottishness and instead formulated an ideal of using independence as a way to create a socially progressive and outward looking Scotland. It is important in demonstrating that ideas and intellectual engagement by the political left can profoundly influence the development of national identity in a positive direction.' Richard Finlay, University of Strathclyde'This is a timely and thoughtful scholarly account of the intellectual currents for Scottish independence. Jackson charts the evolution of a Scotland that has become increasingly distinct from the rest of the UK; one that is diverse and has embraced an independence of the mind – articulating and representing a political community and nation that is slowly and inexorably escaping the confines of the British state.' Gerry Hassan, University of Dundee'A thoughtful, well-written and rich, historical assessment of the development of the ideology of modern Scottish nationalism. Ben Jackson's careful attention to the shifting character of its leading arguments, and analysis of the implications of changing political contexts, make this a compelling and important work for anyone seeking to understand the rise and character of nationalist politics in Scotland.' Michael Kenny, University of Cambridge'Excellent … the book threads together the overarching themes and beliefs of the modern SNP with incredible clarity and detail.' Jamie Maxwell, The National'A powerful account, beautifully written and edited, of some of the sheer richness of thought that has been generated by Scotland's constitutional debate over the last century.' Joyce McMillan, Scotland on Sunday'… [an] excellent, well-researched and insightful account of several decades …' David Gow, Sceptical Scot'The Case for Scottish Independence thus fills a key hole in the literature on Scottish nationalism by taking seriously the political and theoretical debates which provide the intellectual foundations for it as a social and political movement. As such, it represents a hugely important contribution to British political history, and it is a work which will doubtlessly become part of the canon on Scottish politics.' Jennifer Thomson, LSE Review of Books'Ben Jackson's intricate account of the intellectual development of Scottish nationalism marks a highly original departure from the norm, and allows us to distinguish the various progressive themes that have since the 1960s enriched and transformed the populism of the SNP's pioneers.' Colin Kidd, London Review of Books'… Jackson's book offers an excellent contribution to the field on this topic at hand, and it is this well-delineated scope that underpins an engaging and welcome contribution for academics and a broader readership engaged in a tumultuous yet fascinating era for Scottish nationalist politics.'

Cambridge University Press Blood Royal
Book SynopsisThroughout medieval Europe, for hundreds of years, monarchy was the way that politics worked in most countries. This meant power was in the hands of a family - a dynasty; that politics was family politics; and political life was shaped by the births, marriages and deaths of the ruling family. How did the dynastic system cope with female rule, or pretenders to the throne? How did dynasties use names, the numbering of rulers and the visual display of heraldry to express their identity? And why did some royal families survive and thrive, while others did not? Drawing on a rich and memorable body of sources, this engaging and original history of dynastic power in Latin Christendom and Byzantium explores the role played by family dynamics and family consciousness in the politics of the royal and imperial dynasties of Europe. From royal marriages and the birth of sons, to female sovereigns, mistresses and wicked uncles, Robert Bartlett makes enthralling sense of the complex web of internal rivalries and loyalties of the ruling dynasties and casts fresh light on an essential feature of the medieval world.Trade Review'Integrating numerous translated quotes from key primary sources into a fluently written history, this wide-ranging, authoritative and colourful overview will prove to be of enduring relevance, as a great story for the general reader and a treasure trove for researchers.' Jeroen Duindam, author of Dynasties. A Global History of Power 1300-1800'Blood Royal is a magisterial, comprehensive and imaginative exploration of dynastic principles and practices in medieval Europe, including the risks and perils of dynastic succession…Quite frankly, in terms of originality, there is no other book I know to rival it on any aspect of dynastic history.' William Chester Jordan, author of The Apple of His Eye: Converts from Islam in the Reign of Louis IX'Blood Royal is a tour de force. In dynastic politics, Bartlett has found a huge subject that has yet been little explored. He has researched it magisterially, ranging Europe-wide across vast numbers of sources in classical and vernacular European languages.'' Janet L. Nelson, author of King and Emperor: A New Life of Charlemagne'Dynasty – where kinship and politics meet – is the subject of Robert Bartlett's latest ambitious exploration of Europe's medieval centuries. He commands an impressive range of regional experiences, explores change over time and uses helpful concepts in this study of the idea that made European kingdoms and nations – and still does.' Miri Rubin, author of Cities of Strangers: Making Lives in Medieval Europe'Bartlett's eye for the graphic and revealing incident, as well as for the historical insights encoded in medieval personal names, is just as evident here as it is in his previous books and in his several television series.' Len Scales, Times Literary Supplement'Absolutely brilliant.' Dan Snow, History Hit'Political stability in medieval Europe depended in the last resort on the births, marriages and deaths of ruling families. Scholarly and a pleasure to read, Bartlett's new book draws on an impressive range of sources in explaining how unpredictable dynastic politics shaped the history of Latin Christendom Byzantium from 500 to 1500.'

Cambridge University Press English Convents in Catholic Europe c.16001800
Book SynopsisHighlighting the significance of the English convents in exile as part of, and contributors to, national and European Catholic culture, James E. Kelly situates the English Catholic experience within the wider context of the Catholic Reformation and Catholic Europe, and thus transforms our understanding of the convents.Trade Review'Many contemporaries regarded enclosed convents as major spiritual, intellectual and even ideological statements about the nature of true religion. In the context of the changes of religion in England from the mid-sixteenth century onwards, the setting up of English convents in exile was a serious public intervention in the post-Reformation Church. This book draws on an impressive array of archival sources about these convents, and comprehensively and authoritatively reinstates them in the modern-day historiography of the British and European Reformation and Counter-Reformation.' Michael Questier, Research Chair, University of Vanderbilt, Nashville'This important contribution to the study of the Early Modern English Catholic diaspora, shows how the English convents established on the continent were not inward-looking institutions, but were fully engaged with the latest Counter-Reformation ideas and practices. The book gives a wide-ranging account of the convents in their first two centuries by focusing on how the nuns created a collective identity in exile.' Christopher Highley, Ohio State University'Here is a work that reads the English convents as they understood themselves. That is as all-female communities at the heart of European Catholic reformation, as nuns on mission for England and for the world. Their rich world of cloisters, kin, song, prayer, money, and networking is beautifully reconstructed and interrogated in this essential and original volume.' John McCafferty, University College Dublin'This broad-ranging study testifies to its author's in-depth knowledge of conventual archives … Its treatment of complex issues allies nuance and clarity, and those qualities contribute to making this monograph a great read.' Laurence Lux-Sterritt, British Catholic History'Kelly is to be congratulated for restoring the religious dimension to the discussion.' Thomas M. McCoog, Journal of Jesuit Studies'… Kelly's book is an outstanding and well-researched analysis which has finally shed light on a world which has not been properly understood and examined. One of the many merits of this book is to have described the rich array of details on the entrant nuns, their family background, the organization of the journey to mainland Europe, and their life inside the convent.' Matteo Binasco, Studi irlandesi'Kelly has convincingly demonstrated the need to situate English Catholic convents firmly within their wider European context and recognise them as particularly vigorous expressions of Tridentine Catholicism. His book will therefore be of great interest not only to scholars of early modern English Catholicism, but also to historians of the European Counter-Reformation more broadly …' Frederick E. Smith, English Historical Review'English Convents in Catholic Europe is a landmark monograph in several ways. Impeccably written and deeply researched, this magisterial work will set the standard for a dynamic field that is still largely in its infancy.' Jaime Goodrich, Early Modern Women'… Kelly offers a meaningful contribution to the study of the early modern English convents and their relationship to the Catholic Reformation-one that will guide and sustain future research into these communities and the nuns who entered them.' Jenna Lay, Church History'… it is essential that academia be reminded periodically that social activism or national sentiment does not explain why they abandoned so much for the cloister. Convents were more than a haven for more confessionally mobile English Catholics. Kelly is to be congratulated for restoring the religious dimension to the discussion.' Thomas M. McCoog, Journal of Jesuit Studies'[Kelly] is an engaging writer and uses a wide array of sources, including letters, obituary books, accounts, and spiritual treatises, to powerfully evoke the quotidian experiences of these women.' Colleen M. Seguin, American Historical Review'… This is an excellent survey based on close reading of the recent literature, which opens up new questions about the lives of these resilient and redoubtable women who contributed significantly to post-Reformation English and European Catholicism.' William Sheils, Journal of Ecclesiastical History'… an impressive study … The book provides a fascinating window into the collective experience of nearly four thousand English nuns in the period of the Catholic Reformation … [it] provides an important answer to anyone wondering what happened to the long tradition of English monasticism, and especially of convents, after the Dissolution.'

Kriegel offers new interpretations of the era's most cherished figures and tropes, but also immerses us in less canonical cultures of war.

Cambridge University Press The Italian Renaissance and the Origins of the
Book SynopsisChristopher Celenza is one of the foremost contemporary scholars of the Renaissance. His ambitious new book focuses on the body of knowledge which we now call the humanities, charting its roots in the Italian Renaissance and exploring its development up to the Enlightenment. Beginning in the fifteenth century, the author shows how thinkers like Lorenzo Valla and Angelo Poliziano developed innovative ways to read texts closely, paying attention to historical context, developing methods to determine a text''s authenticity, and taking the humanities seriously as a means of bettering human life. Alongside such novel reading practices, technology the invention of printing with moveable type fundamentally changed perceptions of truth. Celenza also reveals how luminaries like Descartes, Diderot, and D''Alembert as well as many lesser-known scholars challenged traditional ways of thinking. Celenza''s authoritative narrative demonstrates above all how the work of the early modern humanist pTrade Review'An engrossing story about how modernity was born when it learned to read and write the word. The parallels between the Italian Renaissance and our contemporary present are stunning. As before, so now: information glut and a rapidly evolving mediascape are challenges that only a new investment in critical sense-making – 'philology,' broadly understood – can meet. Celenza's call for a reinvigorated culture of the humanities today is both historically rich and prescient. His book is sure to bring a new dimension to the debates about the uses and reach of culture today.' James I. Porter, University of California, Berkeley'A powerful history, cutting through the artificial line too-often drawn between Renaissance and Enlightenment to present one continuity, the quiet revolution underlying all the others: the slow, painstaking advance of the conviction that knowledge-seeking can and should be unending, unlimited, and open to everyone.' Ada Palmer, University of Chicago'Christopher Celenza brilliantly threads the needle to produce a portrait of Italian Renaissance humanism for our time. Deeply attentive to personal experiences and personal ties, he injects agency and emotion into the celebrated practice of classical and biblical philology, astutely examining figures who include Valla, Poliziano, Decembrio, and even Descartes.

An excellent read and an important book.' Patrice Higonnet, University of Harvard'In 1848, France had a revolution, declared a republic, elected a dictator.
