Taylor & Francis Science in an Enchanted World
Book SynopsisBest known as the Saducismus triumphatus (1681), Joseph Glanvillâs book on witchcraft is among the most frequently published from the seventeenth century, and its arguments for the reality of diabolic witchcraft elicited passionate responses from critics and supporters alike. Davies untangles the intricate development of this text and explores how Glanvillâs roles as theologian, philosopher and advocate for the Royal Society of London converge in its pages. Glanvillâs broader philosophical method and unique approach to the supernatural provide a case study that enables the exploration of the interaction between the rise of experimental science and changing attitudes to witchcraft.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. The Right Kind of Friends: Glanvill’s Biography and Networks 2. Weighing in on the Witchcraft Debate 3. The Lux and the Letter: Glanvill on the Nature of Spirits and Souls 4. Poisonous Vapours and the Science of Witchcraft 5. Playing a New Tune: The Drummer of Tedworth and Glanvill’s Stylistic Reform 6. Defending the High Ground: Glanvill and the Royal Society 7. Preaching Science: The Promotion of Experimental Philosophy Through Glanvill’s Sermons and Pastoral Care 8. Collaboration and Method: Glanvill and the Reception of the Saducismus triumphatus.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Shakespeare at Peace
Book SynopsisIn the current climate of global military conflict and terrorism, Shakespeare at Peace offers new readings of Shakespeare's plays, illuminating a discourse of peace previously shadowed by war and violence. Using contemporary examples such as speeches, popular music, and science fiction adaptations of the plays, Shakespeare at Peace reads Shakespeare's work to illuminate current debates and rhetoric around conflict and peace. In this challenging and evocative book, Garrison and Pivetti re-frame Shakespeare as a proponent of peace, rather than war, and suggest new ways of exploring the vitality of Shakespeare's work for politics today.Table of ContentsIntroduction: "The Tide of War is Receding" 1. What’s So Funny ’Bout Peace, Love, and Understanding? 2. Make Love, Not War 3. Flower Power 4. Blowin' in the Wind 5. Another World Was Possible Afterword: War is not the Answer

Taylor & Francis Ltd Grief and Genre in American Literature 17901870
Focusing on the role of genre in the formation of dominant conceptions of death and dying, Desirée Henderson examines literary texts and social spaces devoted to death and mourning in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century America. Henderson shows how William Hill Brown, Susanna Rowson, and Hannah Webster borrowed from and challenged funeral sermon conventions in their novelistic portrayals of the deaths of fallen women; contrasts the eulogies for George Washington with William Apess''s Eulogy for King Philip to expose conflicts between national ideology and indigenous history; examines Frederick Douglass''s use of the slave cemetery to represent the costs of slavery for African American families; suggests that the ideas about democracy materialized in Civil War cemeteries and monuments influenced Walt Whitman''s war elegies; and offers new contexts for analyzing Elizabeth Stuart Phelps''s The Gates Ajar and Emily Dickinson''s poetry as works that explore the consequences of female writer

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Life and Times of Thomas Stukeley c.152578
Book SynopsisThis book was published in 2003. Thomas Stukeley was one of the most colourful characters of the Elizabethan age, whose exploits brought him fame and notoriety throughout Europe. Described variously as picturesque, quixotic, cloudy minded, remarkable, and (by Evelyn Waugh) as a preposterous and richly comic figure, Stukeley remains a flamboyant and fascinating character in the imagination of succeeding generations. Yet whilst these portrayals may be accurate, they do not in themselves do full justice to a multifaceted man whose remarkable career included stints as mercenary, pirate, forger, colonial adventurer, political advisor, diplomat and traitor, and who rubbed shoulders with princes, kings and popes. In this new biography, Professor Tazon makes extensive use of previously neglected documents from British, Spanish and Italian archives to produce a much more rounded and complete portrait of Stukeley and the events in which he participated. He brings Stukeley forth as a real figure,Trade Review'The Life and Times of Thomas Stukeley is a product of substantial archival research and should be the standard work on the subject for many years.' Times literary Supplement '...a major study of an important but almost forgotten figure in European history. There is no comparable work, in any language.' Geoffrey Parker (Ohio State University) '... restores Stukeley and his cause to the center of the sixteenth-century political world... Tazón's important biography fills a neglected gap in Spanish and English history.' Renaissance Quarterly 'Tazón's excavation of Stukeley's career offers much to enrich our understanding of the multinational political world in which such men lived, occasionally thrived, and, sooner or later, died.' Sixteenth Century JournalTable of ContentsContents: Preface; Literature and the man; The shadows of the past; Goodbye England; Arrival; Confusion and fear; A continental wanderer; African heat; Epilogue; Bibliography; Index.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Milton Paradise Lost reissue
Book SynopsisMilton''s Paradise Lost is one of the great works of literature, of any time and in any language. Marked by Milton''s characteristic erudition it is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition.

First published in 1968, with John Carey''s Complete Shorter Poems, Alastair Fowler''s Paradise Lost is widely acknowledged to be the most authoritative edition of this compelling work.An unprecedented amount of detailed annotation accompanies the full text of the first (1667) edition, providing a wealth of contextual information to enrich and enhance the reader''s experience. Notes on composition and context are combined with a clear explication of the multitude allusions Milton called to the poem''s aid. The notes also summarise and illuminate the vast bo

Taylor & Francis Ltd Milton The Complete Shorter Poems
Book SynopsisThis masterly edition contains all of Milton''s English poems, with the exception of Paradise Lost, together with translations and texts of all his Latin, Italian and Greek poems. First published in 1968 - and substantially updated in 1996 - John Carey''s edition has, with Alastair Fowler''s Paradise Lost, established itself as the pre-eminent edition of Milton''s poetry, both for the student and the general reader. Hailed as ''a very Bible of a Milton'', the extensive notes and headnotes serve to illuminate the wealth of Milton''s allusions and to synthesize the judgements and disagreements of a bewildering array of modern critics.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Political Ideas of Enlightenment Women
Book SynopsisThis 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. Over the course of the eighteenth century increasing numbers of women went into print, and they exploited both new and traditional forms to convey their political ideas: from plays, poems, and novels to essays, journalism, annotated translations, and household manuals, as well as dedicated political tracts. Recently, considerable scholarly attention has been paid to women's 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. The collection advances discussion of how best to understand women's polTable of ContentsIntroduction; Part I Women’s Political Ideas in Continental Europe; Chapter 1 Emilie Du Châtelet’s Views on the Pillars of French Society, Judith P.Zinsser; Chapter 2 Royalist and Radical, PaulGibbard; Chapter 3 Performing Citizenship, FeliciaGordon; Chapter 4 Etta Palm d’Aelders and Louise Keralio-Robert, CalogeroAlberto Petix, KarenGreen; Chapter 5 Marie-Armande Gacon-Dufour, Erica J.Mannucci; Chapter 6 Legality and Morality in the Political Thought of Elise Reimarus and Immanuel Kant, LisaCurtis-Wendlandt; Chapter 7 Italian Women Intellectuals and Their Cultural Networks, MariannaD’Ezio; Chapter 8 Women’s Intellectual Agency in the History of Eighteenth-and Nineteenth-Century French Salons, StevenKale; Part II Women’s Political Ideas in the British Isles; Chapter 9 The Right to Resist, Elizabeth M.K.A.Sund; Chapter 10 Catharine Macaulay and Laetitia Barbauld, KarenGreen; Chapter 11 ‘The Manly Virtues’, MaryCaputi; Chapter 12 Between Enlightenment, Feminism, and Abolitionism, JeanetteEhrmann; Chapter 13 ‘Doing an Acceptable Service to my Country’, LesaNí Mhunghaile;

Taylor & Francis Ltd Conduct Literature for Women Part IV 17701830
Book SynopsisThis collection aims to give a chronological insight into the evolution of conduct literature, from its early roots in the Renaissance period through to the dramatically different role that women played at the emergence of the 20th century. The material presented in this six-volume set moves away from courtly etiquette, adopting a more middle-class, domestic focus, and includes facsimile reproductions of sermons, poems, narratives and cookery books.Social and literary historians recognise the 1790s as a moment of political crisis and turbulence in British history: the intense reactions in Britain to increasing revolutionary violence in France politicised almost every aspect of cultural life. At the centre of discursive hostilities was the opposition between sentimentality, on the one hand, and rationality, on the other. Two of the most important literary forms utilised for expressing these polemics were novels and treatises on education, as well as conduct writing. Conduct Literature for Women IV, 1770-1830 makes available this body of writing, which has been less well studied in respect to the war of ideas than the former two.
