Uses an interdisciplinary approach to throw light on the transmission process of Linear A to Linear B script, by combining structural and linguistic analyses with epigraphic, palaeographic and archaeological investigations and by placing the writing practice in its socio-historical setting. Of interest to linguists, archaeologists and historians. • Proposes a new framework of interpretation for the relationship between Linear A and Linear B • Shows how linguistics and archaeology are intrinsically related and intertwined in the study of inscriptions, as inscribed objects are both archaeological artefacts and carriers of written texts • Illustrates the implications of an interdisciplinary approach for our understanding of the historical context of the Bronze Age Aegean, in the absence of any contemporary literary evidence

American History Puritans Behaving Badly Gender, Punishment, and Religion in Early America Monica D. Fitzgerald | Saint Mary’s College of California

How do migrants and refugees fashion group identities in the modern world? Following two communities of German-speaking Mennonites across four continents between 1870 and 1945, this transnational study explores how religious nomads selectively engaged with nationalism to secure practical objectives and create local mythologies. • Provides a truly transnational account of German and North/South American Mennonite relationships to twentieth-century nationalism • Illuminates how millions of overseas Germans selectively promoted and abandoned their identifications as agrarian, Christian, German, and ‘white’, to adapt to the homogenizing – though ever-shifting – demands of national citizenship • Explains how and why conservative Mennonites used transnational means for their own anti-national ends, and why they chose to live as premodern, agrarian subjects rather than as modern, nationalized citizens

A bracing re-examination of the myths and realities of European integration which challenges conventional wisdoms of Europhiles and Eurosceptics alike. Kiran Klaus Patel explores the EU’s contribution to peace, prosperity, and democracy, its impact on peoples’ lives and the lessons of the past for its contemporary crisis. • Provides an ambitious and innovative analysis of the impact of European integration on peoples’ lives • Assesses each of the core dimensions associated with European integration on a chapter-by-chapter basis to offer fresh insights on the EU’s strengths and weaknesses • Discusses technical issues regarding European integration in an accessible way to make the topic more appealing to a broader audience 20C European history

Empire on Edge The British Struggle for Order in Belize during Yucatan’s Caste War, 1847–1901 Rajeshwari Dutt | Indian Institute of Technology, Mandi

This transnational account of colonialism at the margins reveals why frontiers are key to understanding imperial anxieties and conflicts. This book is the first monograph to explore Yucatán’s Caste War of 1847–1901 in the context of Frontiers and Borderlands Studies, British History, and Imperial and Colonial Studies. • Offers the first transnational study of how the Caste War of Yucatán transformed neighboring Belize • Allows readers to grapple with questions of colonialism, empire, conflict, ethnicity, and identity through an accessible and readable case study • Explores intersections between British imperial history and Latin American history

A fascinating account of attempts to cultivate silk across New Spain, New France, British North America and the early United States. Ben Marsh shows how commodity failure, as much as success, can offer new insights into the aspirations, environment, and economic life in colonial societies. • A unique account of commodity failure in contrast to the much more heavily-studied success stories of silver, sugar, tobacco, rice, and cotton • Sheds new light on the distinctive features of British, French and Spanish Atlantic settlements and environments and demonstrates how failed schemes nonetheless contributed to colonial life and landscapes • Stresses the human challenges and improvisations at the household level, and how different populations sought to surmount the difficulties of establishing raw silk production with particular attention to the role of women and non-white labour

This distinctive new history of the origins of the Spanish Civil War tackles the highly-debated issue of why it was that Spain’s democratic Second Republic failed. James Simpson and Juan Carmona explore the interconnections between economic growth, state capacity, rural social mobility and the creation of mass competitive political parties. • Shows the restrictions imposed on young democracies by the levels of state capacity and systems of political organization that they inherited • Includes inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary perspectives showing the interconnections between political change and economic development • Explains how individuals with moderate political views became disillusioned with the Second Republic and were driven towards the extremes of the political spectrum Economic history | Cambridge Studies in Economic History – Second Series

The Cambridge Companion to ‘The Canterbury Tales’

The modernist bookshop, best exemplified by Sylvia Beach’s Shakespeare & Co. and Harold Monro’s Poetry Bookshop, has received scant attention outside of these more prominent examples. This writing will review how bookshops like David Archer’s on Parton Street (London) in the 1930’s were sites of distribution, publication, and networking.
