Carolingian Catalonia
British Art and the First World War, 1914–1924
Politics, Culture, and Identity in an Imperial Province, 778–987 Cullen J. Chandler | Lycoming College, Pennsylvania
James Fox | University of Cambridge
The First World War is usually believed to have had a catastrophic effect on British art, killing artists and movements, and creating a mood of belligerent philistinism around the nation. In this book, however, James Fox paints a very different picture of artistic life in wartime Britain. • Transforms our understanding of the impact of the Great War on British art • Supported by a substantial number of colour and black and white illustrations • Focuses on a wide array of new subjects, drawing on a range of hitherto unstudied primary and archival sources 20C history of Britain | Studies in the Social and Cultural History of Modern Warfare, 43
Using a range of evidence, Chandler addresses the political development of the Carolingian Spanish March as part of the Carolingian ‘experiment’. Tracing the region’s relationship with the monarchy over two centuries, he revises traditional views of ethnic motivations for action and prior interpretations of the constitutional birth of Catalonia. • Presents a general and analytical overview of the history of the Carolingian Spanish March • Revises traditional interpretations of the early political and constitutional history of Catalonia • Explores the concept of identity in the Early Middle Ages European history – 450 – 1000 | Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought: Fourth Series, 111

In 1544, Henry VIII led the largest army then ever raised by an English monarch to invade France. Examining the consequences of this action alongside events in Ireland and Scotland, Neil Murphy highlights the need to revise our assumptions about key aspects of Tudor history in light of Henry’s actions at Boulogne. • Places the development of colonies in France within the wider development of the English Empire • Argues against claims that the English employed unique methods of violence against the Irish • Integrates the territories which came under English rule during the reign of Henry VIII into our knowledge of the centralising programme of the mid-Tudor monarchy

The Fourth Reich
Empires of the Mind
The Specter of Nazism from World War II to the Present Gavriel D. Rosenfeld | Fairfield University, Connecticut
The Colonial Past and the Politics of the Present Robert Gildea | University of Oxford
Ever since the collapse of the Third Reich in 1945, anxieties have persisted about unrepentant Nazis returning to power and establishing a Fourth Reich. Gavriel D. Rosenfeld explores the nightmare of a future that never happened and what it tells us about postwar Western political, intellectual, and cultural life. • The first comprehensive history about how the idea of a Fourth Reich – the nightmare of a Nazi return to power – has shaped postwar Western life • Probes the question of whether a Fourth Reich has been an alarmist vision unlikely to be realized, or whether it ever could have been – or still could become – a reality • The arguments in the book are linked to today’s political landscape of surging right-wing politics 20C European history

Prize-winning historian Robert Gildea shows that how empires did not vanish after 1945 but were constantly reinvented as neo-colonialisms. He shows how postwar immigration from the former colonies provoked racism, segregation and exclusion in metropolitan Britain and France and how imperial nostalgia has bedevilled Britain’s relations with Europe. • The issues and conflicts of the contemporary world are viewed through the lens of colonialism • This book is a comparative study of France and Britain, but also references Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United States • Reveals the ‘colonial’ dimension of immigration, metropolitan reactions to it and its effect on contemporary feelings towards migrants 20C European history | The Wiles Lectures

An Intellectual Portrait of al-Juwayni Sohaira Z. M. Siddiqui | Georgetown University, Qatar
Abu Ma’ali al-Juwayni (d.478/1085) is a lauded figure in Islamic intellectual history but his thought remains underexplored. Living during a politically precarious period, he became preoccupied with questions of religious certainty and continuity. Siddiqui reveals the dynamism of his thinking on the relationship between theology, law and politics. • Adopts an interdisciplinary approach to Islamic studies, revealing connections between theology, law and politics • Challenges the notion of al-Juwayni being a prototypical Ash’ari theologian and Shafi’i jurist • Shows that Islamic political thought was not solely focused on the power of the imam • Provides a new way for conceptualizing the Shari’a in varying social and political circumstances Middle East history | Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization

Britain’s Pacification of Palestine
Conquering the Natural Frontier, 1792-1797 Jordan R. Hayworth | United States Air Command and General Staff College, Alabama
What for revolutionary France started as a war for liberty in the Rhineland became a war for conquest. Jordan R. Hayworth shows how French foreign policy and military strategy became influenced by the idea of attaining the natural frontiers, causing much confusion in the war and helping undermine France’s democratic experiment. • Shows that the military effectiveness of the French Revolution’s citizen armies has often been exaggerated by examining French campaigns and occupation policy in the Rhineland • Sheds new light on the influence of the natural frontiers doctrine in transforming revolutionary France’s war for liberty in the Rhineland into a war for conquest • Brings together themes and issues that are often analyzed separately, in particular the role of the war of conquest in upsetting France’s democratic experiment Military history | Cambridge Military Histories

This book challenges the view that World War II was decided by land battles. It argues that victory was due to the production and allocation of American and British air and sea weaponry that was used to destroy over half of the Axis’s equipment before it reached the battlefield. • Transforms our understanding of the war by showing that the Second World War was not won on the battlefield but in the air, on the seas and in the factories • Reveals that the Eastern Front (and the entire land war) was less important than historians have argued and that Anglo-American air and sea power were considerably more important • Shows how controlling mobility is more important than overwhelming firepower in military success

It primarily addresses biblical scholars but is also of relevance to those working in pastoral and practical theology. • Provides concise overviews of key concepts and ideas in object-relations theory and how they can be applied to a biblical text • Demonstrates how key interests of traditional theologies can be critically explored through the psychological concepts of repression and splitting, attachment theory, and studies of the causes and effects of masochism • Opens a conversation with chaplains, ministers and theologians of the Hebrew Bible concerning the potential dangers of making biblical depictions of the YHWH/Israel relationship foundational for faith
This Element discusses the nature of time in relation to God, examining both history and scientific findings, alongside religion. Philosophy of religion | Elements in the Philosophy of Religion
