This volume investigates the different attitudes of historians and other social scientists to questions of causality. It argues that historical theorists after the linguistic turn have paid surprisingly little attention to causes in spite of the centrality of causation in many contemporary works of history.

"The author brilliantly sustains a provocative thesis, that the whole field of studies in Modernism needs to be re-thought from the perspective of the impact of Christianity on this movement. 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. In his commentary new insights continually emerge, and he carries through convincingly his argument that a movement dedicated to cultural and epochal transformation must necessarily engage with the cultural and political force of Christianity. 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 theorizing the idea of 'formative tensions' between cultural Modernism and Christianity, and by in-depth case studies of James Joyce, David Jones, T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, W. H. Auden, Samuel Beckett, the book argues that no coherent account of Modernism can ignore the continuing impact of Christianity.

Bruce Buchan, School of Humanities, Griffith University, Australia and Lisa Hill, University of Adelaide, Australia.
"Buchan and Hill provide a compelling account of the changing understanding of political corruption from the ancient world until the end of the Eighteenth century. It addresses a major gap in the literature on corruption that tends to be both resolutely ahistorical and centred on liberal democratic states; and it does so with great clarity and considerable erudition. It should help us to develop a deeper understanding of what we now take to be central to political corruption, and to seeing how and why we have come to see things in this way." Mark Philp, Oriel College, University of Oxford, UK
Secrets and Democracy develops a new approach to understanding the centrality of secrecy to political life.

Group Responsibility A Narrative Account Cassie Striblen, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, West Chester University near Philadelphia, USA. She has published on group responsibility with the Journal of Social Philosophy and Social Theory and Practice.
"Since World War II philosophers and others have sporadically and not altogether successfully wrestled with the moral problem presented by group responsibility for such atrocities as the Holocaust, 'ethnic cleansing,' racial violence and other great harms. Skillfully and selectively discussing the merits and serious drawbacks of some of the key contributions to this debate, Cassie Striblen defends a plausible yet demanding account of shared responsibility among members of the 'white' identity group based on insights from social psychology and narrative theory. Her new and subtle proposal should do much to bring serious discussion of group responsibility back into focus and sets a new standard for future debate on the topic." Lawrence Jost, University of Cincinnati, USA Drawing on work in social psychology, narrative ethics, and feminist philosophy, the author presents a new account which answers the standard objections while also giving practical guidance to individuals who take their grouprelated responsibilities seriously.
