Editors: Eileen Joy, BABEL Working Group and Myra Seaman, College of Charleston, USA
Richard Gaskin, University of Liverpool, UK 'There has been no previous study if its kind…Gaskin's book is a genuine contribution to the knowledge of Horace, of classical scholarship, and of Housman, commanding an impressive range of skills. Gaskin is equally in his element when discussing the minutiae of textual emendation, Housman's kind of textual scholarship, and Housman's temperament.' - Archie Burnett, Co-director of the Editorial Institute and Professor of English, Boston University, USA The lyric poems of Horace and Housman are two enigmatic bodies of work that have much in common, and a close reading of each poet's writings can illuminate the other's. This is the first book to provide a detailed, critical comparison between these two poets, and also the first to make use of Housman's unpublished lectures on Horace.
postmedieval is an award-winning, cross-disciplinary journal in medieval studies bringing the medieval and modern into productive critical relation.

A truly interesting take on Birgitta.' - Bridget Morris, Independent Scholar, York, UK Analyzing the renowned Saint Birgitta of Sweden from the perspectives of power, authority, and gender, this probing study investigates how Birgitta went about establishing her influence during the first ten years of her career as a living saint, in 1340–1349.

Constructing Gender in Medieval Ireland Edited by Sarah Sheehan, University of Toronto, Canada, Ann Dooley, University of Toronto, Canada 'The unruly sex-gender systems of medieval Irish literature remain nearly as much a scandal to the conservative heteronormativism of modern scholarship in the field as they were to Romanizing churchmen, proto-colonialist Normans, and Elizabethan carpet-baggers. This collection, at long last, clarifies what scholars of medieval gender have to learn from Irish texts, and why it's high time for Celticists, in their turn, to engage more fully the gender-critical insights of the last three decades.'

Playing the Heresy Card Edited by Karen Bollermann, Arizona State University, USA, Thomas M. Izbicki, Rutgers University, USA, Cary J. Nederman, Texas A&M University, USA 'These original essays consider key occasions on which accusations and persecutions of heresy in premodern Western Europe possessed strong political as well as doctrinal dimensions. Together, they challenge formidably the argument of the 'persecuting society' whose driving agency was an ecclesiastical elite, and they open the motives of heresy prosecution to a broader range of social forces. The volume is a major contribution to the lively current scholarship on the subject.' - Edward Peters, Henry Charles Lea Professor Emeritus of History, University of Pennsylvania, USA Addressing the myriad ways in which heresy accusations could fulfill political aims during the Middle Ages, this collection shows acts of heresy were not just influenced by religion. Essays examine individual cases, in addition to the close relationship of orthodoxy and political dominance in medieval games of power.

'By tracking the complex ways that questions of space and geography inform Le Morte Darthur, Dorsey Armstrong and Kenneth Hodges have generated a striking reassessment of Malory's great work. Gracefully written, amply researched, and persuasively argued, Mapping Malory: Regional Identities and National Geographies in Le Morte Darthur should be on the reading list of anyone seeking a fuller understanding of Arthurian literature.' - Kathy Lavezzo, Associate Professor of English, The University of Iowa, USA Medievalists are increasingly grappling with spatial studies. This timely book argues that geography is a crucial element in Sir Thomas Malory’s M orte Darthur and contributors shine a light on questions of politics and genre to help readers better understand Malory's world.

Love in Print in the Sixteenth Century The Popularization of Romance Ian Frederick Moulton, Arizona State University, USA 'Beautifully written, and devoid of jargon, Love in Print in the Sixteenth Century: The Popularization of Romance is much more than a study of four specific books that treat love as either a philosophical, ideological, rhetorical or physical question. It is an erudite analysis of love as a broad cultural phenomenon with concrete and tangible effects in the sixteenth century, with Moulton's erudition manifesting in his extensive research, the complex tissue of ideas he has interwoven, and the many thoughtful questions he raises. This book will interest a host of readers in many disciplines.' - Margaret F. Rosenthal, Professor of Italian, University of Southern California, USA

Controversy in French Drama Molière’s Tartuffe and the Struggle for Influence Julia Prest, University of St Andrews, UK 'Elegantly written, thoroughly engaging, and highly accessible to non-specialists, Controversy in French Drama systematically uncovers the power of Molière's Tartuffe to scandalize and delight audiences, not only in its original historic context (so masterfully drawn here), but also through the centuries to today. It is essential reading for all those interested in Molière and French classical theatre and culture.' - Larry F. Norman, Professor of French and Theatre and Performance, University of Chicago, USA, and author of Molière and the Social Commerce of Depiction and The Shock of the Ancient: Literature and History in Early Modern France In 1664, Molière's Tartuffe was banned from public performance. This book provides a detailed, in-depth account of five-year struggle (1664-69) to have the ban lifted and, so doing, sheds important new light on 1660s France and the ancien régime more broadly.

The Queen’s Mercy Gender and Judgment in Representations of Elizabeth I Mary Villeponteaux, Georgia Southern University, USA 'Villeponteaux offers us a much-needed first booklength study of the contradictory facets of Elizabeth's royal image as a queen of mercy. In a study full of delicate nuance and artful analysis, Villeponteaux brings together the fields of literature, history, theology, and gender studies to create a panoramic view of the queen that shows how some of the most influential writers of the period—Spenser, Shakespeare, Heywood, and Sidney—presented their queen in images that gave the 'rusty sword' of her peaceful mercy a double-edge... Villeponteaux's work is as complex as it is accessible, and it gives us a window into the fascinating political world where early modern literature and sovereignty intersect.' - Linda Shenk, Associate Professor of English, Iowa State University, USA, and author of Learned Queen: The Image of Elizabeth I in Politics and Poetry (2009) During the Elizabethan era, writers such as Shakespeare, Spenser, Sidney, Daniel, and others frequently expounded on mercy, exploring the sources and outcomes of clemency. This fresh reading of such depictions shows that the concept of mercy was a contested one, directly shaped by tensions over the exercise of judgment by a woman on the throne. Contents: 1. ‘By Nature Full of Mercy’: The Clemency of the Queen * 2. ‘Proud and Pitilesse’: Elizabethan Mercy and the Sonnet Tradition * 3. ‘A Goodly Musicke in Her Regiment’: Elizabethan Justice in The Merchant of Venice * 4. ‘A Due Sincerity Governed His Deeds’: Equity, Gender, and Privacy * 5. ‘My Nobler Reason’: Masculine Mercy After Elizabeth July 2014 UK 240pp Hardback Canadian Rights

Ruling the Waves and Keeping the Peace before Armageddon Barry Gough, Independent Scholar, Canada 'The history of the British Empire, which was once the preserve of either misplaced nostalgia or misdirected derision, has been reinvigorated in recent years by a number of wide-ranging books. Here is a significant new contribution to this literature, enlisting Barry Gough's expertise as a naval historian in restoring a neglected dimension to the story of the Pax Britannica. In its Victorian heyday, he argues, the Pax was underpinned by the Royal Navy, as 'a hoped-for state of affairs' that was to be crucially challenged by the ambitions of Germany - but ultimately displaced by the global reach of the United States.' - Peter Clarke, Professor Emeritus of Modern British History, Cambridge University, and author of The Last Thousand Days of the British Empire, 1944-47 This book by world-expert Barry Gough examines the period of Pax Britannica, in the century before World War I.

This book is likely to find a readership among academics with an interest in eighteenth-century literature and culture as well as graduate and advanced undergraduate students who wish to explore the uses of affect-rich rhetoric across many genres. There is much insight to be gained from the close readings of the under-explored works selected from discussion.' - Kathryn R.

Textiles are a key component of the industrial and consumer revolutions, yet we lack a coherent picture of how the marketing of textiles varied across the long 18th century and between different regions. This book provides important new insights into the ways in which changes in the supply of textiles related to shifting patterns of demand.

Cynthia Schoolar Williams, School of the Museum of Fine Arts, USA 'We do not know what hospitality is,' Jacques Derrida once said. Yet, in Cynthia Schoolar Williams' competent hands, this non-knowledge proves to be exceptionally generative. Succinct and intellectually agile, her book traces the frisson of threshold experiences activating and connecting the work of a range of Romantic writers on both sides of the Atlantic. Through a series of intelligent readings, Williams demonstrates that thresholds are wholly fraught spaces, at once scenes of alienation, intimacy, and possibility. Her book explores what it means hospitably to encounter a stranger and to be encountered as a stranger–including a stranger to oneself. She gives us a robust language with which to consider the fierce vicissitudes of nineteenth-century forms of welcoming and belonging in whose wake we continue to struggle.' - David L. Clark, Professor of English and Cultural Studies, McMaster University, Canada Hospitality and the Transatlantic Imagination, 1815-1835 argues that a select group of late-Romantic English and American writers disrupted national tropes by reclaiming their countries' shared historical identification with hospitality. In doing so, they reimagined the spaces of encounter: the city, the coast of England, and the Atlantic itself. Contents: 1. Keeping Hospitality * 2.

CRITICAL APPROACHES TO CHILDREN’S LITERATURE series
A Reappraisal Andrew Williams, University of St Andrews, UK 'This fascinating volume asks important questions about the development of International Relations as a field of study since the early twentieth century, focusing on the three main Western democracies – America, Britain and France. It is to be particularly welcomed for the way in which it fuses a profound understanding of both History and International Relations, showing that 'IR' itself has a history – one that was largely shaped by changing global realities.' John W. Young, University of Nottingham, UK Why is France so often relegated to the background in studies of international relations? This book seeks to redress this balance, exploring the relationship between the United States, United Kingdom and France, and its wider impact on the theory and practice of international relations.

Class, Leisure and National Identity in British Children’s Literature, 1918-1950 Hazel Sheeky Bird, Independent Scholar, USA 'This is a readable, well-researched, and remarkable re-reading of the inter-war years in British culture and children's literature. The hugely popular genres of 'camping and tramping' novels – not previously researched in such detail – and family sailing stories are linked to radical interpretations of landscape and of the British maritime tradition. The result is a fresh and original linking of key, but often unconsidered, cultural elements which provides a new and often disturbing perspective on what has been seen as a quietist period in children's literature, and a retreatist historical period generally. This is literary-cultural investigation at its best.' - Peter Hunt, Cardiff University, UK This book places children's literature at the forefront of early twentieth-century debates about national identity and class relations that were expressed through the pursuit of leisure. Focusing on stories about hiking, camping and sailing, this book offers a fresh insight into a popular period of modern British cultural and political history. Contents: 1. Introduction * 2.

Britain and the 'Decade of Protest'
Philip Hale on the Boston Symphony Orchestra, 1889-1933
Edited by Trevor Harris, University of Tours, France, Monia Carla O’Brien Castro, University of Tours, France
Jon Ceander Mitchell, University of Massachusetts, Boston, USA 'An engaging and very readable account of one of the most influential figures in America's classical music infancy. Jon Ceander Mitchell's book paints a fascinating picture of the performers, the public, and the music which made up the New England musical scene in its formative years.' - Keith Lockhart, Conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra Philip Hale (1854-1934) helped put Boston on the Transatlantic map through his music writing. Mitchell reconstructs Hale's oeuvre to produce an authoritative account of the role the Boston Symphony played in the international world of nineteenth- and early twentiethcentury music.
Re-examining the long-held belief that the Sixties in Britain were dominated mainly by 'youth' and 'protest', the authors in the collection argue that innovation was everywhere shadowed by conservatism. A decade fascinated by itself and, especially, by the future, it also was tormented by self-doubt and accompanied by a fear of losing the past.

Modernism and Mobility The Passport and Cosmopolitan Experience Bridget T. Chalk, Manhattan College, USA
The Victorian Colonial Romance with the Antipodes Helen Lucy Blythe, New Mexico Highlands University, USA '...Helen Lucy Blythe introduces us to the full range of imagined possibilities offered by New Zealand to its British visitors and settlers. This is a book equally valuable for students of fantastic commonwealths and of the cultural history of Aotearoa/New Zealand.' - Jonathan Lamb, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities, Vanderbilt University, USA This study treats the Victorian Antipodes as a compelling site of romance and satire for middle-class writers who went to New Zealand between 1840 and 1872. Blythe's research fits with the rising study of settler colonialism and highlights the intersection of late-Victorian ideas and post-colonial theories.
Tracing the changing conceptions of nationality in the work of traveling writers such as D.H. Lawrence, Gertrude Stein, and Claude McKay, Modernism and Mobility argues that the passport system is an indispensable segue into discussions of literary modernism.

Gavin Schaffer, University of Birmingham, UK Telling the stories behind television's approaches to race relations, multiculturalism and immigration in the 'Golden Age' of British television, the book focuses on the 1960s and 1970s and argues that the makers of television worked tirelessly to shape multiculturalism and undermine racist extremism.

America in the British Imagination
Edited by Karen Steele, Texas Christian University, USA, Michael de Nie, University of West Georgia, USA 'Showcasing the emergence of new media practices from the pre-revival period to the development of modernism, this thematically-divided collection presents a new understanding of a cultural and political 'revolution' on a wide range of media platforms. A pioneering work in the study of Irish journalism, it highlights the diversity of reportage and review while underpinning the links created by nineteenth-century innovations in technology, particularly those that gave rise to new forms of mass communication. This timely study of a new dawn in Irish journalism is valuable in assessing the role of the press; it also provides valuable insights on the role of journalism and the journalist for media practitioners and scholars in the twenty-first century.'

Thatcher’s Grandchildren? Politics and Childhood in the Twenty-First Century Edited by Stephen Wagg, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK, Jane Pilcher, University of Leicester, UK
The British Government and the Falkland Islands, 1974-79
Thatcher's Grandchildren explores sociological and political issues about childhood that have become increasingly significant in the twenty first century within a political landscape framed by neo-liberalism. Issues addressed include child protection and abuse, the media, education and schooling, and poverty.
Aaron Donaghy, University College Dublin, Ireland Drawing on recently declassified government files, private papers and interviews, this book argues that through a combination of preventative diplomacy and robust defence planning, the Labour government of 1974-79 succeeded in maintaining peace, avoiding the fate of its Tory successors.

Catholics, Protestants and Muslims Edited by John Wolffe, The Open University, UK By setting the Irish religious conflict in a wide comparative perspective, this book offers fresh insights into the causes of religious conflicts, and potential means of resolving them. The collection mounts a challenge to views of 'Irish exceptionalism' and points to significant historical and contemporary commonalities across the Western world.
This volume is devoted to the shaping of British foreign and defence policymaking in the twentieth century and illustrates why it's relatively easy for states to lose their way as they grope for a safe passage forward when confronted by mounting international crises and the antics of a few desperate men.

A Social History of Student Volunteering
Emerging Choice in London Schools, 1945-1965
Britain and Beyond, 1880-1980
Peter Medway, King’s College London, UK , John Hardcastle, Institute of Education, University of London, UK, Georgina Brewis, Institute of Education, University of London, UK and David Crook, University of London, UK 'English Teachers in a Postwar Democracy is a fascinating tale of British school reform starting in the aftermath of World War II in London, when central education authority was at its nadir. I can think of no book that better elucidates the origins of education reform in the classrooms of gifted teachers than this outstanding and invaluable work. I recommend it highly and without reservation as a must read for the entire English education community, teachers, researchers, and educational authorities alike.' Martin Nystrand, Louise Durham Mead, Professor of English Emeritus, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA Conflicting conservative and radical impulses in English society after WWII were played out in microcosm in education. They particularly shaped English teaching, examined in three post-war London schools in a detailed study that uses oral history—interviews with former teachers and students—and documents including mark books and students’ work.
Georgina Brewis, Institute of Education, University of London, UK 'Georgina Brewis' study of student volunteering is both illuminating and rich in detail. We move from university settlements in Edwardian slums to charity rags, to concern with unemployment and internationalism between the wars, and finally to the 'Ban the Bomb' and anti-apartheid protests of the fifties and sixties. This book brings together youthful idealism, social and political engagement, and the history of universities in an original and insightful way.' - Carol Dyhouse, Research Professor of History, University of Sussex, UK Using a wide range of student testimony and oral history, Georgina Brewis sets in international, comparative context a one-hundred year history of student voluntarism and social action at UK colleges and universities, including such causes as relief for victims of fascism in the 1930s and international development in the 1960s.

Edited by Marja Härmänmaa, University of Helsinki, Finland, Christopher Nissen, Northern Illinois University, USA 'Marja Härmänmaa and Christopher Nissen's Decadence, Degeneration, and the End: Studies in the European Fin de Siècle is a highly original collection of essays that successfully brings new issues, new authors, and new artists into the orbit of decadent culture. A particular strength is the book's richly comparative, multidisciplinary approach: the essays range over British, French, Belgian, Spanish, Scandinavian, German, Greek, Italian, and Russian culture, while also extending discussion of decadence beyond literature and into the fields of art and science. A significant contribution to a topic of growing importance.' - David Weir, Professor of Comparative Literature, The Cooper Union, and author of Decadence and the Making of Modernism and Decadent Culture in the United States: Art and Literature against the American Grain, 1890–1926 Art and literature during the European fin-de-siècle period often manifested themes of degeneration and decay, both of bodies and civilizations, as well as illness, bizarre sexuality, and general morbidity. This collection explores these topics in relation to artists and writers as diverse as Oscar Wilde, August Strindberg, and Aubrey Beardsley.

Culture, Psychoanalysis, and the Past Sally Alexander, Goldsmiths University of London, UK, Barbara Taylor, Queen Mary, University of London, UK 'The authors of these provocative and wonderfully inviting essays have put psychoanalysis back on the historical agenda: they show the pertinence of psychoanalysis for history writing today and at the same time provide important new historical perspectives on the articulation of psychoanalysis as a method.' - Lynn Hunt, Eugen Weber Professor of Modern European History, UCLA, USA From Freud onward, psychoanalytic thinkers have looked to history for insights into the human mind, while historians have been much more ambivalent about the value of psychoanalysis. The interdisciplinary contributions gathered here offer an invaluable survey of this complex and contested field.

Kallis explores this through a journey across the sites, monuments, and buildings of the fascist capital.
Forging Shoah Memories Italian Women Writers, Jewish Identity, and the Holocaust Stefania Lucamante, Catholic University of America, USA 'There is a remarkable and largely unknown corpus of Italian Holocaust writing by women. Stefania Lucamante's book, the first on the topic in English, is extremely rich and articulate, as insightful in its uses of theory and history as in its intense close readings.' - Robert S. C.

Musical Revolutions in German Culture Musicking Against the Grain, 1800-1980 Mirko M. Hall, Converse College, USA 'Hall interweaves music, philosophy, and politics in this book in order to challenge the reader with the same 'hermeneutic inexhaustibility' that the author also verifies in the 'counterhegemonic possibilities of music.' By exploring the concepts of 'dialectical sonority' and 'dialectical listening,' even within the context of the so-called 'lower art,' Hall provides a very original and pioneering contribution through his critical-deconstructive philosophy of music. The subtitle, 'Musicking Against the Grain,' not only depicts brilliantly the book's content but also reflects the author's endeavor: thinking against the grain.' - Mário Vieira de Carvalho, Emeritus Professor of Sociology of Music, Nova University of Lisbon,
Portugal Drawing upon the philosophical insights of Friedrich Schlegel, Walter Benjamin, Theodor W. Adorno, and Blixa Bargeld, this book explores the persistence of a critical-deconstructive approach to musical production, consumption, and reception in the German cultural sphere of the last two centuries.

An important book for anyone interested in how the past is reconstructed in the present.' - Debbie Pinfold, University of Bristol, UK The Media of Testimony explores testimony relating to the Stasi in different cultural forms: autobiographical writing, memorial museums and documentary film.

Steven Carroll, The Sydney Morning Herald The historical involvement of Jews in the political Left is well known, but far less attention has been paid to the political and ideological factors which attracted Jews to the Left.

This interdisciplinary collection explores what mobility meant, and still means, in the specific contexts of Soviet and East European socialist and post-socialist societies. Together the chapters consider diverse practices of mobility and their different contexts of power, resistance and inequality.

The essays in this volume offer a fresh critical glance at the usual post-conflict tropes but by looking beyond them engage masterfully with emerging social, cultural and political phenomena that fertilise the exhausted soil of Post-Yugoslavia.' - Igor Štiks, Edinburgh College of Art, The University of Edinburgh, UK This interdisciplinary examination of present-day identities and histories of the former Yugoslavia explores relationships with the social, political, cultural and historical 'facts and fictions' that have marked the different parts of the region.

The constructed spectacle idea and image that is America became pervasive, but the panoramic vision of America the bountiful was not always benevolent. Covering a vast historical span from 1815 to 1940, followed by a twenty-first century update in the epilogue, Spectacle Culture and American Identity is provocatively comprehensive.' –Barbara Lewis, Associate Professor, Director of Trotter Institute, The University of Massachusetts Boston, USA Scenic spectacles collapse the borders of graphic and visual arts, multimedia technology, spectatorship and architecture.

Urban Rebellion in America
The Appropriation and Misrepresentation of African American Popular Culture
Malcolm McLaughlin, University of East Anglia, UK ‘Few books that seek to make new sense of the rebellious 1960s also manage to shine new light on the politics of liberalism that were so soon overtaken by this complicated decade, or to explain the law and order moment that, in turn, overtook it. Malcolm McLaughlin's The Long Hot Summer of 1967 does all of this, beautifully. Taking readers from the campuses of this nation's historically black colleges, to the offices of President Lyndon Johnson, to the streets of Detroit, Michigan, McLaughlin's book allows us all to understand much better than we yet do all that was lost, as well as was made newly possible, in America during the Sixties.’ - Heather Ann Thompson, Associate Professor of History, Temple University, US A study of riots in the urban US during the pivotal year of 1967, set within the context of the ‘long, hot summers.’ Contents: Introduction: Long, Hot Summers * One: An Explosive Mixture * Two: Harvest of American Racism * Three: Southern Campus Rebellion * Four: Urban Uprising * Five: The Battle for the Streets * Six: The Apostles of Violence * Seven: The City of Hope * Epilogue: Dreams Deferred March 2014 UK 244pp Hardback Canadian Rights

Fabienne Viala, University of Warwick, UK 'Fabienne Viala's book is a study in breadth, depth, and virtuosity. Covering an astonishingly wide range of subjects, genres, writers, and theories, and delving thoughtfully into the underlying myths and beliefs of three different linguistic areas of the Caribbean, she succeeds spectacularly in finding something new to say not only about some of the Caribbean 'giants' of thinking about identity, but, as few observers of the modern Caribbean can, also about a common cultural identity, based on her genuinely original interpretation of the contested and always complex notion of cultural memory. It is a joy to read.' Antoni Kapcia, Professor of Latin American History, University of Nottingham, UK Reflecting on the relationship between memory, power, and national identity, this book examines the complex reactions of the people of the Caribbean to the 500th anniversary of Columbus's discovery of the New World.

J. K. Gani, LSE, UK 'J.K. Gani's book will take its place with the handful of classics written on Syria-US relations. Based on US archival evidence and memoirs of diplomats and leaders, it throws new light on US policy and perceptions and evinces an empathic understanding of Syria's frustrations with Washington's inability to pursue an even-handed approach to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Particularly masterful is Gani's dissection of the failure of the Syrian-Israel peace negotiations - a tour d' force that will make this volume indispensable to students of diplomacy in the Arab-Israel conflict.’ Raymond Hinnebusch, University of St. Andrews, UK A study of US-Syria relations, this book analyzes the legacy of mistrust between the two states and continuities and discontinuities over time. It challenges the purely realist and power-political explanation that is dominant and points to a politically embedded set of ideas rooted in anti-colonial Arab nationalist ideology.

Port cities were the means through which cultural and economic exchange took place between continental societies and the maritime world. In examining the ports of Brazil, the Caribbean and West Africa, this volume will provide fresh insight into the meaning of the 'First Globalisation'.
Pan-Africanism, the Cold War, and the End of Empire Leslie James, University of Cambridge, UK This book argues that the rising tide of anti-colonialism after the 1930s should be considered a turning point not just in harnessing a new mood or feeling of unity, but primarily as one that viewed empire, racism, and economic degradation as part of a system that fundamentally required the application of strategy to their destruction.

Kourou and the Struggle for a French America Marion F. Godfroy, Université de la Sorbonne Paris I, France
Imperial Culture in Antipodean Cities, 1880-1939 John Griffiths, Massey University, New Zealand
Kourou was to be a wonderful revenge, a French colony in America after the Seven Years War in 1763. However, the fantastic ideal became a grand failure and political disaster, marking the end of the French attempts for an American colony.
Drawing on a wealth of primary and secondary sources, this book explores how far imperial culture penetrated antipodean city institutions. It argues that far from imperial saturation, the city 'Down Under' was remarkably untouched by the Empire.

McLain, Gender and in Violence in British India Gender and Violence British India, McLain
The Road to Amritsar, 1914-1919
Karen Vallgårda, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Robert McLain, California State University Fullerton, USA
Making an important addition to the highly Britaindominated field of imperial studies, this book shows that, like numerous other evangelicals operating throughout the colonized world at this time, Danish missionaries invested remarkable resources in the education of different categories children in both India and Denmark.
In British India, the years during and following World War I saw imperial unity deteriorate into a bitter dispute over ‘native’ effeminacy and India’s postwar fitness for self-rule. This study demonstrates that increasingly ferocious dispute culminated in the actual physical violence of the Amritsar Massacre of 1919.

Bryan Glass, Texas State University, USA 'There are now a number of theories relating to the relationship between Britain and its empire. Some suggest that the British took a keen interest in their colonies, not just as places of settlement but also in terms of their importance to the economy and status of the UK. Others take the line that the British were largely indifferent both to their role as an imperial people and to the territories marked in red upon the map. Recently, there has been a suggestion that the empire served to emphasise the identity of the 'four nations' of the British and Hibernian Isles – English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh. This excellent book makes a major contribution to all these debates. Using a striking range of sources and archives, including oral evidence... The result is a book which should take its place as a truly significant work about the important domestic dimensions of imperial history.' - John M. MacKenzie, Emeritus Professor of Imperial History, Lancaster University, USA, Honorary Professor, University of St. Andrews The rise and fall of the British Empire profoundly shaped the history of modern Scotland and the identity of its people. By examining the opinions of Scots towards the empire from numerous professional and personal backgrounds, Scotland emerges as a nation inextricably linked to the British Empire.

Ottomans Imagining Japan East, Middle East, and Non-Western Modernity at the Turn of the Twentieth Century Renee Worringer, Guelph University, Canada 'Using the ways Ottomans imagined Japan to trace the categories and concepts with which they also imagined a future for themselves, Renée Worringer traces the path of an Ottoman escape from Europe through the embrace of Japan. This is an important contribution to understanding what it involved to search for a modernity that circumvented Europe.' Nile Green, Professor of History and Director of the Program on Central Asia, UCLA, USA, and author of Terrains of Exchange: Muslim Interactions from India & Iran to America & Japan (2014) Today's ‘clash of civilizations’ between the Islamic world and the West are in many ways rooted in 19th-century resistance to Western hegemony. This compellingly argued and carefully researched transnational study details the ways in which Japan served as a model for Ottomans in attaining ‘non-Western’ modernity in a Western-dominated global order.

Transnational Anti-Communism and the Cold War
How Atheism Helped Create the Modern World Mitchell Stephens, New York University, USA 'An intriguing book, presenting a magnificent cast of characters who helped shape modernity. It helps us all measure even those we disagree with most in terms of their creativity and moral worth rather than what they do, or do not, believe.' - Jonathan Israel, Professor of History, Institute for Advanced Studies, Princeton University From ancient Greece to modern Europe, Imagine There's No Heaven explores the role of disbelief in shaping human history. Exploring the lives of famous atheists as well as forgotten men and women who paved the way for the New Atheist movement, Mitchell Stephens shows how disbelief has been one of the central drivers of the modern world.
Agents, Activities, and Networks Edited by Luc van Dongen, University of Fribourg, Switzerland, Stéphanie Roulin, University of Fribourg, Switzerland, Giles Scott-Smith, Leiden University, the Netherlands How was anti-communism organised in the West? This book covers the agents, aims, and arguments of various transnational anti-communist activists during the Cold War. Existing narratives often place the United States – and especially the CIA – at the centre of anti-communist activity. The book instead opens up new fields of research transnationally.

Edited by Timothy Scott Brown, Northeastern University, USA, Andrew Lison, Brown University, USA 'From Tropicália to the New American Cinema, French prog rock to conceptual photography, this anthology proves that any compelling account of the polyvalent conjunctures of culture and politics in the 1960s must be interdisciplinary.

Uneconomic Economics and the Crisis of the Model World Matthew Watson, University of Warwick, UK
Edited by Riccardo Bellofiore, University of Bergamo, Italy, Ewa KarwowskiJan Toporowski, School of Oriental and African Studies, UK Rosa Luxemburg, Oskar Lange and Michał Kalecki made important contributions to twentieth century political economy that guided the thinking of their student Tadeusz Kowalik. The chapters of this volume examine how the ideas of Luxemburg, Lange, Kalecki and Kowalik can illuminate our understanding of the crisis in twentyfirst century capitalism.
What has gone wrong with economics? Economists now routinely devise highly sophisticated abstract models that score top marks for theoretical rigour but are clearly divorced from observable activities in the current economy. This creates an 'uneconomic economics', where models explain relationships in blackboard rather than real-life markets.

Hiding the History of the ‘Special Relationship’
This is the first full-length work to be published about the spectacular failure of the German intelligence services in Persia (Iran) during WWII. Based on archival research it analyzes a compelling history of Nazi planning, operations, personalities, and intrigues, and follows the protagonists from Hitler's rise to power into the postwar era.
Cat Wilson, Independent Scholar, UK Cat Wilson brings together two strands of historical scholarship: Churchill's work as a historian and the history of WWII in the Far East. Examining Churchill's portrayal of the British Empire's war against Japan, as set down in his memoirs, it ascertains whether he mythologised wartime Anglo-American relations to present a 'special relationship'.

Heroism and the Changing Character of War Toward Post-Heroic Warfare?
T.O. Smith, Huntington University, USA
Edited by Sibylle Scheipers, University of St Andrews, UK
The Vietnam War and Indian independence devastated British policy towards Asia. The Labour Government failed to understand its commitments. Yet some senior British officers were prepared to work alongside Asian nationalism in order to secure British interests. This created a radical local fusion of imperial, diplomatic and humanitarian policies.
Post-heroism is often perceived as one of the main aspects of change in the character of war, a phenomenon prevalent in western societies. According to this view, demographic and cultural changes in the west have severely decreased the tolerance for casualties in war. This edited volume provides a critical examination of this idea.

Alison Bashford, University of Cambridge, UK 'Bashford delivers a very innovative study on colonial medicine in the global context of nationalism.' - Eva Marie Stolberg, H-Net Taking British colonialism and White Australia as case studies, Alison Bashford's innovative study, now published for the first time in paperback, examines the enclosures, boundaries and borders which were the objects and means of public health, as well as of colonial, national and racial administration between 1850 and 1950.
'This book helps us make sense of the place of disease control in a globalized world. It shows how, historically, national, colonial, international and global issues have been enmeshed in the development of modern public health responses. It demonstrates the connections between nationalism and the use of the 'hygienic shield' of border regulation. I can recommend it to all those who want an informed analysis of the historical roots of current concerns about global pandemics.' - Virginia Berridge, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, University of London, UK

Dying for Victorian Medicine Elizabeth T. Hurren, University of Leicester, UK '...a groundbreaking and exciting study of the dissected as 'matter out of place' that never loses sight of the poor or of the fear and impact of dissection... this is one of the best books in the social history of medicine that I have read in the last five years (and perhaps longer).' - Keir Waddington, Cardiff University, UK
Lee Scrivner, Bogota, Columbia
The first book to provide a detailed analysis of the body-trafficking networks of the dead poor that underpinned the expansion of medical education from Victorian times. With an even-handed approach to the business of anatomy, Hurren uses remarkable case histories which still echo a vibrant body-business on the internet today in a biomedical age.
A study of the history of modern insomnia, this book explores how poets, journalists, and doctors of the Victorian period found themselves in near-universal agreement that modernity and sleep were somehow incompatible. It investigates how psychologists, philosophers and literary artists worked to articulate its causes, and its potential cures.

Women’s Academic Networks, 1917-1955 Christine von Oertzen, Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin, Germany 'Von Oertzen has recovered a forgotten yet vital transatlantic network of impressive women scholars and judiciously assessed its accomplishments, tensions, and shortcomings. Her work offers new insights into national and international women's movements, the behavior of women's organizations in Nazi Germany, and the fate of women Jewish refugees. This cultural history of a vibrant multinational academic network is a welcome addition to gender history, cultural history, and the history of international institutions and exchanges.' - Mary Nolan, Professor of History, New York University, USA Founded in 1920, the International Federation of University brought together women committed to promoting higher education across divisions hardened by global conflict.

Deconstructing the Female Terrorist
This book is the first full length history of the all-female National Federation of Women Workers (1906-21) led by the gifted and charismatic Mary Macarthur. Its focus is on the people who made up this pioneering union - the organisers, activists and members who built branches and struggled to improve the lives of Britain's working women.
Amanda Third, University of Western Sydney, Australia 'A fascinating exploration of the historical twinning of terrorism and feminism in the U.S. By redirecting our attention to these important discourses emerging in the 60's and 70s, this book provides a crucial corrective to counter post 9/11 anxieties that continually project the terrorist as somehow coming from elsewhere.' - Jasbir K. Puar, Associate Professor of Women's and Gender Studies, Rutgers University, USA Analyzing women labeled as terrorists in the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Gender and the Political examines Western cultural constructions of the female terrorist. The chapters argue that the development of the discourse on terrorism evolves in parallel with, and in response to, radical feminism in the US during this time.

Restless Men
An Introduction to a Phenomenology of Sexualities
Masculinity and Robinson Crusoe, 1788-1840
Laurent Bibard, ESSEC, France, ‘With daring vulnerability and scope, Laurent Bibard opens us to the sex of our time, to our kind of time in which we incessantly seek to master nature, each other and ourselves. This sex has a religious history. We must step back from our de-sexed modernity into the possibility of recuperating the contradictory duality of masculinity and femininity that constitute us all. Only thus can we reveal our humanness and create a more habitable world.’ - Roger Friedland, Visiting Professor, Media, Culture and Communication, New York University, USA The book argues that a universally widespread virility currently prevents humans from realizing their sexualities, which are originally the feminine and the masculine. This obstacle may be traced back to Renaissance humanism, whose core intention is to take control over the so-called 'nature.’ Contents: 1. Appraisal * 2. Insurrection * 3. Christianity, Paganism, Judaism, the Fury of Practice * 4. Moral Fractals * 5. Interlacings * 6. Drama * 7. Methodological Approach * 8. Contradictions: Lives, Decisions, Thoughts * 9. Love
Karen Downing, Australian National University, Australia Robinson Crusoe's call to adventure and do-it-yourself settlement resonated with British explorers. In tracing the links in a discursive chain through which a particular male subjectivity was forged, Karen Downing reveals how such men took their tensions with them to Australia, so that the colonies never were a solution to restless men's anxieties. Contents: Introduction: Restless men * 1. Confined by the Gout – Perceptions of Men’s Physical Health * 2. The Ecstasies and Transports of the Soul – Emotional Journeys of Self-discovery * 3.

Daughters of the Anglican Clergy Religion, Gender and Identity in Victorian England
Masculinity and Nationhood, 1830-1910

This book focuses on the lives of women brought up in this setting, as the Church of England steered its way through the secularisation of society.

Missionary Masculinity, 1870-1930 The Norwegian Missionaries in South-East Africa Kristin Fjelde Tjelle, School of Mission and Theology, Norway What kind of men were missionaries? What kind of masculinity did they represent, in ideology as well as in practice? Presupposing masculinity to be a cluster of cultural ideas and social practices that change over time and space, and not a stable entity with a natural, inherent meaning, Kristin Fjelde Tjelle seeks to answer such questions.
A Lady’s Man The Cicisbei, Private Morals and National Identity in Italy Roberto Bizzocchi, University of Pisa, Italy Three people in a marriage: a woman and two men.

LEFT HEADER history of women, gender and sexuality Intimacy and Family in Early American Writing Erica Burleigh, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY, USA 'Moving across a number of sophisticated theoretical and jurisprudential problems with great lucidity, Erica Burleigh's Intimacy and Family in Early American Writing returns to and reignites feminist debates about family figures in early American writing. The book engages a much more ambitious historical trajectory than similar works, demonstrating how debates about slavery repurposed an early national rhetoric of familial disunion, and nuancing our understanding of race in anti-abolitionist rhetoric. A fascinating and welcome intervention.' - Jordan Alexander Stein, Assistant Professor of English, Fordham University, USA Through the prism of intimacy, Burleigh sheds light on eighteenth and earlynineteenth-century American texts. This insightful study shows how the trope of the family recurred to produce contradictory images - both intimately familiar and frighteningly alienating - through which Americans responded to upheavals in their cultural landscape.

Louise Hide, Birkbeck, University of London, UK 'Hide's insights into asylum life prior to the Great War make this an indispensable book for anyone interested in madness. She is not only interested in the lives of physicians, nurses, and attendants, but also in the lived experiences of patients.' - Joanna Bourke, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK An unprecedented number of people were sent to 'lunatic asylums' in the nineteenth century. But what was life like inside? How was order maintained? And why were so many doctors on the verge of a breakdown themselves? This book provides a glimpse into the lives of patients and staff inside two London asylums at the turn of the twentieth century.
Through an analysis of the marriage patterns of thousands of aristocratic women as well as an examination of diaries, letters, and memoirs, this book demonstrates that the sense of rank identity as manifested in these women's marriages remained remarkably stable for centuries, until it was finally shattered by the First World War.

Feminism, Time, and Nonlinear History Victoria Browne, Oxford Brookes University, UK
An Ambiguous Affair Jenny Björklund, Uppsala University, Sweden 'Jenny Björklund traces the theme of lesbianism in Swedish literature in a beautifully systematic way, covering the developments of the past seventyfive years. As the book itself claims, there are many assumptions about Sweden regarding its progressiveness on gender issues, and Björklund provides valuable political and historical contexts in order to both correct and support some of these assumptions.' - Susan Brantly, Professor of Scandinavian Studies, University of WisconsinMadison, USA Here, Björklund shows that Swedish literary discourses on lesbianism provocatively contrast with a widely accepted view that attitudes toward homosexuality have gradually become more tolerant. The lasting power of negative discourses upends the assumption that Sweden's progressive laws reflect progressive attitudes toward homosexuality. Contents: Introduction * 1.

Sartorius, Washington University in St Louis, USA This book explores how deans of women actively fostered feminism in the mid-twentieth century through a study of the career of Dr. Emily Taylor, the University of Kansas dean of women from 1956-1974. Sartorius links feminist activism by deans of women with labor activism, the New Left movement, and the later rise of women's studies as a discipline.

There is no book that applies the methodology of 'life- writing studies' to 18th and 19th century women in this way. The book has a number of interdisciplinary strengths, appealing to scholars in history, gender studies, literary studies, French Revolution studies, celebrity studies and life writing studies.' – Elizabeth Eger, Kings College London, UK

Modernism and Exile Spariosu, Modernism and Exile Modernism and Exile, Spariosu
Liminality and the Utopian Imagination Mihai Spariosu, University of Georgia, Athens, USA '…quite brilliant both in content and in style, which is crisp, confident, and perspicuous. It says a whole lot about modernism and says it in an interesting way.' - Hayden White, Professor of History and Literature, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA, and author of Metahistory Studying exile and utopia as correlated cultural phenomena, and offering a wealth of historical examples with emphasis on the modern period, Spariosu argues that modernism itself can be seen as a product of an acute exilic consciousness that often seeks to generate utopian social schemes to compensate for its exacerbated sense of existential loss.

Modernism and Christianity Erik Tonning, University of Bergen, Norway 'With a rare ease and expert range of reference, Dr Tonning combines a sensitivity to the theological tradition with original research into the modernist writers he selects... This exciting and erudite study will be similarly transformative for both literary criticism and historical theology of the twentieth century.' - Paul Fiddes, Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Oxford, UK By theorising the idea of 'formative tensions' between cultural Modernism and Christianity, and by in-depth case studies of James Joyce, David Jones, T.

Scholars of postcolonial studies will greatly benefit from Robinette’s insightful and important intervention.’ - Susan Z. Andrade, Associate Professor of English, University of Pittsburgh, USA Confronted with apartheid, dictatorship or the sheer scale of global economics, realism can no longer function with the certainties of the nineteenth century.

Stars, Fans, and Consumption in the 1950s Reading Photoplay Sumiko Higashi, The College at Brockport, SUNY, USA 'What a pleasure and wonderful surprise to see a new book by Sumiko Higashi! In pouring through every issue of Photoplay from 1948-1963, Higashi has arrived at what is an eclectic, but surely significant group of women stars...Higashi writes with style and grace; she takes her subject very seriously, but does not preach to the choir. The section on stars is a lot of fun, but also revealing; the section on fans, fandom, and consumerism is positively scintillating.' - David M. Desser, Emeritus Professor, University of Illinois, USA The magazine Photoplay pioneered the construction of both female stars as social types and fans as aspiring consumers in the first mass consumption society. The construction of female identity based on goods and performance in a consumer society resulted in multiple, fragmented, and unstable selves - a legacy evident in postmodern culture today.

Ancient History
Morley, Thucydides and the Idea of History
Neville Morley, University of Bristol, UK “In this eye-opening book, Neville Morley gets behind the recent election of Thucydides as the Father of Neo-Conservatism to explore his long and complex role as the Father of History. Morley’s subtle analysis reveals how modernity has insistently returned to Thucydides to debate the very idea of history. From critique to science, art to authority, Thucydides became a lightening-rod for discussions about the identity and conduct of the historian. This book is essential reading for anyone interested not just in the legacy of Thucydides but also more generally in discussions of historical method.” – Miriam Leonard, Professor of Greek Literature and its Reception, University College London, UK
A Short History of the Byzantine Empire Dionysios Stathakopoulos, King’s College, UK “Dionysios Stathakopoulos provides an easy-to-read narrative history of the whole of the Byzantine Empire from AD 330 until it fell to the Ottomans in 1453... This is a confident book by an established historian and teacher of Byzantine history, and it makes an excellent addition to I.B.Tauris’ series of Short Histories.” - Averil Cameron, DBE, FBA, Professor of Late Antique and Byzantine History, University of Oxford, formerly Warden of Keble College, Oxford His new short history is above all a narrative of individuals: of powerful rulers like Justinian I, who recovered Italy from the Vandals and oversaw construction of Hagia Sofia (completed in 537).
Morley examines different aspects of the reception of Thucydides within modern western historiography, casting fresh light on ideas about history and the historian in the contemporary world.

J. B. Priestley and English Culture
Medical Culture and Identity in Provincial England, c.1760–1850
John Baxendale, Sheffield Hallam University, UK “A very timely and readable study of an underresearched figure in 20th century British history. Written in an accessible and eloquent style, this book not only fills a gap in Priestley scholarship, it contributes to our understanding of 20th century Britain and ‘Englishness.’” -Judy Giles, York St John University College, UK
Michael Brown, University of Roehampton, UK ‘Performing Medicine illuminates English medical culture in the transitional period from the mid-Georgian to the mid-Victorian ages by focusing on the provincial city of York . . . This solidly researched study bridges two very different medical worlds. It helps us understand the transition from an age of eager Enlightenment-era explorers to a more exclusive, self-policing group of self-identified professionals.’ - Lisa Forman Cody, Claremont McKenna College, American Historical Review
Priestley’s England explores the cultural, literary and political history of twentieth-century Britain through the radical critique offered by one of its most popular writers, J B Priestley. Its wide-ranging themes include ‘Englishness’, literary culture and its values, ‘Americanisation’ and mass culture.
The book offers a fresh and distinctive account of the transformation of provincial English medicine from the late eighteenth to the mid nineteenth centuries. Written by one of the leading scholars in the field it demonstrates how the roots of modern medicine can be located in the cultural, political and ideological upheavals of the age of reform.

It describes how the image of shared victimhood at the hands of the British helped contain tensions between the clergy and the republican movement, and shows how the links between Catholicism and Irish nationalism were sustained.
Provides an overview of the incarceration of tens of thousands of men, women and children during the first fifty years of Irish independence. Psychiatric hospitals, mother and baby homes, Magdalen homes, Reformatory and Industrial schools, prisons and Borstal formed a network of institutions of coercive confinement integral to the emerging state.

Ireland and the End of the British Empire The Republic and its Role in the Cyprus Emergency Helen O’Shea, University of Edinburgh, UK In 1949, Ireland left the Commonwealth and the British Empire began its long fragmentation. As Helen O’Shea reveals, while the IRA formed immediate links with EOKA and the Cypriot rebels, the Irish government and the Irish Church supported the British line.
The IRA 1956–69 Rethinking the Republic Matt Treacy, Dáil Eireann, Ireland “This valuable and detailed work by Dáil Éireann researcher Matt Treacy assesses that critical and often neglected period for the Irish Republican Army and Sinn Féin, between the launch of the ultimately futile Border Campaign of 1956-1962 and the outbreak in earnest of the Troubles in Northern Ireland in 1969.” –American Historical Review While there have been many books written about the IRA since 1916, comparatively little attention has been paid to the organisation during the 1960s, despite the fact that the internal divisions culminating in the 1969 split are often seen as key to the conflict which erupted that year. This book, newly available in paperback, redresses the vacuum. Contents: Contents * Acknowledgements * Introduction * 1. The 1956–1962 Armed Campaign and the Reorganisation of the IRA * 2.

This book explores how from its formation in 1954 the intellectual movement Tuairim (‘opinion’ in Irish) was at the vanguard of the challenge to orthodoxy and conservatism.
This study examines how political news was concealed, manipulated and distorted during the tumultuous later years of James I’s reign.

Liberals in Schism David Dutton, Liverpool University, UK Formed out of a breakaway from the mainstream Liberal party in 1931, the Liberal National party (renamed the ‘‘National Liberal Party’ in 1948) preserved a separate identity for almost 40 years. During this time they helped ensure that the Liberals themselves would not return to their former status of a governing party while helping to broaden the electoral appeal of their Conservative allies, contributing significantly to the Tory domination of the British political scene in the middle of the twentieth century. Here, David Dutton shows us for the first time how the National Liberals were a potent force in shaping the evolution of British politics in the middle decades of the twentieth century, before they finally merged with the Conservative party in 1968.

Selected Writings 1903-1941 M. Edith Durham, Robert Elsie, Translator, The Netherlands, Bejtullah Destani, Centre for Albanian Studies, UK, Elizabeth Gowing M. Edith Durham is best known for her classic travel books about the Balkans. However, she was also a passionate, articulate, and well-informed commentator on the twists and turns of Balkan politics and the machinations of the Great Powers. The pieces in this collection of her writings from the early half of the twentieth century remind us of the many connections between Britain and the Balkans over recent centuries - of Tennyson, Disraeli, Lord Fitzmaurice, Aubrey Herbert, and Margaret Hasluck. With its wide geographical sweep, the book offers a fair picture of the Balkans in the early twentieth century: Montenegro, Macedonia, Kosovo, Albania, Serbia are all represented - their dangers and wonders, ugly brutality and startling beauty, history, custom, geography, and politics. The anthology offers vivid pictures of Balkan locations which will be fascinating reading for anyone interested in modern Balkan history.

Patrick Crowhurst identifies the crucial political problem that faced Czechoslovakia between 1918 and 1939 – the rift between the Czechs and the Sudeten Germans that would open the way for the rise of the right-wing ‘Sudeten Deutsch’ party, and which was exploited ruthlessly by Hitler during Nazi Germany’s 1938 annexation of Czechoslovakia.
Cyprus in the 1930s charts the history of the island in this period, and details British attempts to impose a homogeneous ‘Cypriot’ culture onto a diverse and divided population.

Maria Vaiou, Sabanci University, Istanbul “Dr. Vaiou succinctly characterizes the text’s nature and purpose . . .although her approach is primarily that of a historian, Vaiou provides full coverage of the treatise’s rich cultural background . . .The text will be of very great interest to historians of Islam, both cultural and political historians, and also to Byzantinists and medievalists in general.” - Dr. Jonathan Shepherd, Oxford University
Fruma Zachs and Sharon Halevi, University of Haifa, Israel “...a refreshingly innovative study in its approach and methodology, which combines historical scrutiny with literary criticism. Scholars and students of modern Arab history, cultural history in general, and gender studies should find this work at once inspiring and rewarding.” – Prof. Ami Ayalon, Professor of Middle Eastern History, Tel Aviv University, Israel
In the only medieval Arabic work which exists on the conduct of messengers and their qualifications, the author rejects jihadist policies in favor of quiet diplomacy and a pragmatic outlook of constructive realpolii. This is an extraordinarily important and original contribution to our understanding of the early Islamic world.

Al-Azhar and the Evolution of Modern Sunni Islam
A Political, Social and Cultural History
Indira Falk Gesink, Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio, USA ‘Indira Gesink’s deeply researched study on alAzhar reform sheds new light on a major chapter in the history of modern Islam. Dispensing with conventional portrayals of entrenched conservatives resisting enlightened modernists, Gesink reveals a far more nuanced and complicated set of intellectual and political struggles over al-Azhar’s organization, curriculum and administration...Gesink’s book most certainly deserves the attention of readers interested in modern Islamic institutions and thought along with specialists on Egypt.’ – David Commins, Professor of History, Dickinson College; author of The Wahhabi Mission and Saudi Arabia (I.B.Tauris 2006) The famed reform debates at al-Azhar Madrasa in nineteenth-century Cairo – one of the most influential centers of religious study in Sunni Islam – were enormously influential for twentieth-century Islamic thought. In this book Indira Gesink argues that narratives of these debates overemphasize the roles of famous modernists like Muhammad ‘Abduh, obscuring important themes. By restoring conservative voices to the debate, she shows that conservative ‘ulama engaged many of the same issues as reformers and led committees that generated and implemented reforms; ultimately, conservative leaders at al-Azhar provided crucial legitimacy for the reforms to become rooted in public life. Drawing on obscure, but important, archival sources to illustrate the important contributions of conservative scholars to the evaluation of twentieth-century Sunni Islam, Islamic Reform and Conservatism is indispensable for all those interested in the modern Middle East, religious history, secularism, modernism and religious reform.

Its strength is in giving equal weight to the various phases of Deng’s career, rather than focussing too much on the post 1978 period. It also captures something of the complexity and contradictoriness of Deng.” - Kerry Brown, author of The New Emperors

Tangier Finlayson, Tangier Tangier, Finlayson
City of the Dream Iain Finlayson “A dream concealed in stone... sky supersonic, orgone blue, warm wind... Such beauty, but more than that, it’s like the dream is breaking through.’ - William Burroughs No city in the world has quite the exotic allure of Tangier. From the 17th century, it has been a place on the edge, beyond the normal disciplines of government, a city of refuge and excitements where sex is cheap, drugs are plentiful and where the outcasts of the world can breathe easily. The golden years of Tangier began after World War I and barely survived World War II. Among those who sought sanctuary in or inspiration from this legendary city were Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Paul and Jane Bowles, Ronnie Kray, the unhappy Woolworth heiress, Barbara Hutton, Tennessee Williams, Joe Orton, Cecil Beaton and Truman Capote. It is this ‘last resort of the living dead, alive but not madly kicking’ which Iain Finlayson explores in his witty, enthralling book.

The story of Raoul Wallenberg – who, at immense personal risk, rescued many of Budapest’s Jews from the Holocaust – is one of the most remarkable of World War II. Yet the complete account of his life and fate can only be told now – and for the first time in this book – following access to the Russian archives, previously unavailable.
Rolf-Dieter Müller, Berlin, Germany “Disturbing and fascinating and should be on the bookshelves of students trying to understand...how Hitler managed to survive for so long after suffering not one but several devastating defeats following his invasion of the USSR...Muller’s excellent work goes a long way to explain how Hitler fell from power.” – Trevor Grundy, Cold Type (Canada), May 2013

He takes us to the margins and the cracks, the streets, the houses and the cellars. His tale is an astonishing tour de force, it is a memorial to the unsung heroes through the prism of his family: compelling and informative, deeply moving and scrupulously understated.” – Irène Heidelberger-Leonard, author of The Philosopher of Auschwitz Resurrecting 200 years of wars and revolutions, from the Austro-Hungarian Empire via two totalitarianisms to contemporary Britain, and through the remnants of family possessions and old memories, Nick Barlay retraces the footsteps of the vanished.

Youth, Leisure and Identity in the Inter-War Years Melanie Tebbutt, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK ‘The ultimate success of this marvellous book lies in the way that Tebbutt allows the private voices behind the public swagger of the ‘monkey parade’ to articulate the longing in 1930’s Britain for a better world while also showing how, in their own small way, boys like Les helped that world come into being.’ Richard Weight, History Today Being Boys offers a fresh and original approach to the masculinities, subjectivities and emotions of workingclass young men, and makes a distinctive contribution to the history of leisure and interwar youth.
This is the first book-length account of the Women’s Liberation Movement in Scotland which, using documentary evidence and oral testimony, charts the origins and development of this important social movement of the post-1945 period.

A pacifist, humanitarian ‘free-thinker’, Wolstenholme Elmy was a controversial character.

The book is a loud, disturbing, eloquent, and crucial rallying cry against the concept of a ‘post-feminist’ world, a narrative deeply relevant today.” Publishers Weekly “There’s a certain twisted pleasure to be had from revisiting some of the wild and wonderful things that men (and women, too) have believed in the past about women’s incapacity for education and employment.” - The Guardian In thisl book, eminent historian Carol Dyhouse shows that for over a century now, where there’s a horrific headline, a scandal or a wave of moral outrage you can bet a girl’s to blame. And yet, despite the obsession with their perceived faults and blatant disobedience, girls are infinitely better off today than they were a century ago. Contents: Introduction * 1.
