Cambridge University Press The Guitar in Stuart England
Book SynopsisThis is the first history of the guitar during the reign of the Stuarts, a time of great political and social upheaval in England. In this engaging and original volume, Christopher Page gathers a rich array of portraits, literary works and other, previously unpublished, archival materials in order to create a comprehensive picture of the guitar from its early appearances in Jacobean records, through its heyday at the Restoration court in Whitehall, to its decline in the first decades of the eighteenth century. The book explores the passion of Charles II himself for the guitar, and that of Samuel Pepys, who commissioned the largest repertoire of guitar-accompanied song to survive from baroque Europe. Written in Page''s characteristically approachable style, this volume will appeal to general readers as well as to music historians and guitar specialists.Trade Review'Reading Christopher Page's monograph is not only a wonderful learning process, but also an emotionally moving experience. His sincere attitude, along with a lively wit, revitalizes the history of the old musical instrument, brings its music and highlights its connections to our century. … this is the most useful and superb source, not only for people interested in early guitar music, but anybody fascinated with British history.' Taro Takeuchi, The Galpin Society JournalTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. The guitar in Jacobean and Caroline England (I): court masque and town fashion; 2. The guitar in Jacobean and Caroline England (II): London and lodgings abroad; 3. The restoration court; 4. Regarding the female guitarist; 5. Guitars, gallants and gentlewomen; 6.

Palgrave Macmillan Globalizing Ideal Beauty How Female Copywriters of the J Walter Thompson Advertising Agency Redefined Beauty for the Twentieth Century
Book SynopsisGlobalizing Ideal Beauty is the forgotten history of a group of women copywriters whose successful ad campaigns went international in the 1920s and spread an American notion of feminine appeal from Bangor to Bangkok. Sutton's approach is grounded in a huge body of original archival research that has so far remained largely untapped.Trade Review"Provides a glimpse into the origins of advertising and the key role that women played in creating today's global standard of feminine beauty . . .A useful volume for marketing as well as women's studies collections . . .Recommended." - Choice "An empirically rich and beautifully written study of the complex and often contradictory roles that women and gender played in the history of American advertising. This should be essential reading for all those interested in understanding in what ways gender, class and race matter to the projection of American commercial culture at home and abroad." - Mona Domosh, Dartmouth College "This absorbing book contributes to a growing body of sophisticated work about 20th century advertising. Sutton's study follows a group of avant-garde female copy writers, the J. Walter Thompson Women's Editorial Department, focusing particularly on the interwar years. Sutton shows how these class-conscious, professional, modern, feminist style-setting copywriters created 20th century cosmetics advertising in JWT's imperialist, hyper-masculine corporate culture." - Tani E. Barlow, Ting Tsung and Wei Fong Chao Professor of Asian Studies, History Department, Rice University.Table of ContentsIntroduction From Suffrage to Soap 'Good Looks Supremacy' Selling Prestige and Whiteness Selling Sex and Science J.

Palgrave MacMillan Us Power Knowledge and Dissent in Morgenthaus Worldview The Palgrave Macmillan History of International Thought
Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive investigation into Hans Morgenthau's life and work. Identifying power, knowledge, and dissent as the fundamental principles that have informed his worldview, this book argues that Morgenthau's lasting contribution to the discipline of International Relations is the human condition of politics.Trade Review"Hans Morgenthau was one of the great intellectual figures in the study of international politics, and Felix Rösch's insightful study helps remind us why. Focusing on Morgenthau's intellectual roots in Weimar Germany, Rösch brings Morgenthau into the present by underscoring his relevance to vital strands of recent political and social thought. An indispensable contribution to the growing literature on international realism." - William E. Scheuerman, Professor of Political Science, Indiana University, USA "An original, thoughtful, readable investigation of Hans Morgenthau's intellectual development that goes beyond his writings to personal, cultural, and intellectual history to understand his world view and that of realism. It is a major contribution to our understanding, not only of realism, but to the creative efforts of intellectuals to go beyond ideology and the academy to grapple with the challenges of modernity." - Richard Ned Lebow, Professor of International Political Theory, King's College London, IKTable of Contents1.

Palgrave MacMillan Us Royal Mothers and their Ruling Children Wielding Political Authority from Antiquity to the Early Modern Era Queenship and Power
Book SynopsisRoyal Mothers and their Ruling Children: Wielding Political Authority from Antiquity to the Early Modern Era brings together a range of case studies from the Pre-Modern era to illustrate key themes with regard to motherhood, ambition and authority, with a focus on queens and elite women who are at the political heart of their respective realms.Trade Review“Royal mothers and their Ruling Children is an important starting point for addressing this gap, focusing on an aspect that has surprisingly been neglected in most studies on motherhood and mothering … . opens up a new field of research with rich potential for queenship specialists, since motherhood can be identified as a major power resource for royal women in premodern times.” (Julia Heinemann, Royal Studies Journal, Vol. 3 (2), 2016)“Elena Woodacre and Carey Fleiner have, with this collection, selected chapters that not only make significant individual contributions, but also fit well together. Separately and collectively, the chapters provide a clear sense of the similarities and differences that existed in the ways that royal women exercised power and authority across different monarchies throughout history.” (Aidan Norrie, Parergon, Vol. 33 (2), 2016)Table of Contents1.

His book is a brilliant & unique exploration of early 20th century political thought, postwar British political history and the personal odyssey of one of the most remarkable political figures of the time.' - Stewart Wood, Lord Wood of AnfieldTable of ContentsIntroduction: Guilty Men 1.

Palgrave MacMillan Us Conceiving Carolina Proprietors Planters and Plots Proprietors Planters and Plots 16621729
Book SynopsisWritten from a transatlantic perspective and based largely on primary sources, Conceiving Carolina provides the first systematic treatment of the colonization of South Carolina in over a century. It argues that the political culture that developed in the colony amounted to an extension of the political life in early modern England.Trade Review"Roper's subject is compelling, given the cast of characters and events that made proprietary South Carolina what it was. Roper's original take on the formative period of South Carolina's distinctive history will catch the scholar's notice and raise an eyebrow or two, but all who pore over Conceiving Carolina will be treated to a fascinating story that is as instructive as it is well told." - Warren M. Billings, PhD, Distinguished Professor and Chairman, Department of History, University of New Orleans "Conceiving Carolina is a welcome contribution to the scholarly literature on colonial South Carolina. Focusing on the era of proprietary government, it delineates the complex relationships that arose between London courtiers, West Indian planters, Yamassee warriors, Anglican missionaries, Huguenot refugees, British and Irish settlers, and African slaves. As Roper shows, the colony's early social and political development replicated patterns evident throughout the British Atlantic; at the same time, a major theme is the weakness of the centralizing Anglo-British state along its transoceanic periphery. Historians will find much of value in this book." - Eliga H. Gould, University of New Hampshire "Roper's study is a rich source of information on the first sixty-seven years of Carolina's history." - Catherine Cardno, Johns Hopkins UniversityTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction Prologue Genesis Blueprint Birthpangs The Rise of the Goose Creek Men Plots Stuarts Town Treachery Plots Consternation Conclusions Abbreviations Notes
