Empty spaces: confronting emptiness in national, cultural and urban history Edited by Courtney J. Campbell, Allegra Giovine and Jennifer Keating IHR Conference Series Institute of Historical Research 978‑1‑909646‑49‑0 (hb), 300pp, £40 978‑1‑909646‑50‑6 (ebook), £32 December 2017
How is emptiness made and what historical purpose does it serve? What cultural, material and natural work goes into maintaining ‘nothingness’? Why have a variety of historical actors, from colonial powers to artists and urban dwellers, sought to construct, control and maintain (physically and discursively) empty space, and by which processes is emptiness discovered, visualised and reimagined? This volume draws together contributions from authors working on landscapes and rurality, along with national and imperial narratives, from Brazil to Russia and Ireland. It considers the visual as an object of historical analysis, including the art of Edward Hopper and the work of the British Empire Marketing Board, while concluding with a section that examines constructions of emptiness in relation to capitalism, development and the (re)appropriation of urban space. In doing so, it foregrounds the importance of emptiness as a productive prism through which to interrogate a variety of imperial, national, cultural and urban history. sas.ac.uk/research/publications
People, texts and artefacts: cultural transmission in the Norman worlds of the eleventh and twelfth centuries Edited by David Bates, Edoardo D’Angelo and Elisabeth van Houts IHR Conference Series Institute of Historical Research 978‑1‑909646‑53‑7 (hb), 295pp, £40 978‑1‑909646‑54‑4 (ebook), £32 September 2017
This volume is based on two international conferences held in 2013 and 2014 at Ariano Irpino, and at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. It contains essays by leading scholars in the field. Like the conferences, the volume seeks to enhance interdisciplinary and international dialogue between those who work on the Normans and their conquests in northern and southern Europe in an original way. It has as its central theme issues related to cultural transfer, treated as being of a pan-European kind across the societies that the Normans conquered and as occurring within the distinct societies of the northern and southern conquests. These issues are also shown to be an aspect of the interaction between the Normans and the peoples they subjugated, among whom many then settled.

This volume contains selected essays in celebration of the scholarship of the medieval historian Professor James L. Bolton. The essays address a number of different questions in medieval economic and social history, in looking at the activities of merchants, their trade, legal interactions and identities. The importance of money and credit in the rural and urban economies is also highlighted. Other chapters look more widely at patterns of immigration to London, trade and royal policy, and the role that merchants played in the Hundred Years War.

In the long-debated transition from late antiquity to the early middle ages, the city of Ravenna presents a story rich and strange. From the fourth century onwards it suffered decline in economic terms. Yet its geographical position, its status as an imperial capital, and above all its role as a connecting point between East and West, ensured that it remained an intermittent attraction for early medieval kings and emperors throughout the period from the late fifth to the 11th century. Ravenna’s story is all the more interesting because it was complicated and unpredictable: discontinuous and continuous, sometimes obscure, sometimes including bursts of energetic activity. Throughout the early medieval centuries its flame sometimes flared, sometimes flickered, but never went out.

This volume reassesses the life and work of Octavia Hill, housing reformer, open space campaigner, co-founder of the National Trust, founder of the Army Cadet Force, and the first woman to be invited to sit on a royal commission. In her lifetime she was widely regarded as an authority on a broad range of social problems. Yet despite her early preeminence, and the remarkable success of the institutions which she helped to found, Hill fell from public favour in the 20th century. This book provides a nuanced portrait of Hill and her work in a broader context of social change, reflecting recent scholarship on 19th-century society in general, and on philanthropy and preservation, and women’s role in them, in particular.

How can you fathom a bottomless abyss? How can you capture ineffable beauty in words? How do you narrate the master of all stories? These are the challenges that seasoned poet Konrad von Würzburg set himself when at the end of the 13th century he composed his account of the Trojan War from a multitude of sources. Konrad has long been recognised as an exceptionally self-conscious author who frequently reflects on the nature, status and function of poetry, and who at times appears more concerned with the sparkling surface of his discourse than with the events he narrates. Taking these observations as a starting point, this study presents the first comprehensive treatment of metapoetics in the Trojanerkrieg. In highlighting the pitfalls of metapoetic interpretation and mapping out possible conceptualisations of textuality, language and poetry in Middle High German poetry, as well as the relationship between secular and religious literature, this study also makes a broader contribution to medieval literary studies. 6

One of the few major enquiries into women’s narratives of political incarceration, this volume examines first-person accounts written against a backdrop of momentous historical events in 20th-century Germany. Rosa Luxemburg’s prison letters are the starting point for the study, which explores the ways in which writing is used as a response to incarceration: how does the writer ‘perform’ femininity within the de-feminising context of prison? How does she negotiate a self-representation as a ‘good’ woman? Central to this investigation is an awareness of the role of language as a means of empowerment within the disempowering environment of prison. As a key female political figure in 20th-century Germany, Luxemburg wrote letters from prison that encapsulate prevalent notions about womanhood, prison, and political engagement that are perceptible in the study’s subsequent texts. The narratives provide examples of the role of language in resisting an imposed identity as ‘prisoner’, ‘criminal’, and object of the prison system.

The experience of surviving Nazi persecution had an impact on the whole of the rest of people’s lives and on the transformation of their identity. The character of this impact varied not only according to their age, status and experiences at the time of persecution, but also according to later circumstances in which they sought to make new lives. The effect on the second and subsequent generations similarly varied not only with parental experiences but also with the different contexts in which children grew up. In this lecture Mary Fulbrook outlines some key issues and aspects of how particular post-war contexts affected the ways in which people gave significance and expression to their memories of the past.

This collection of essays and research articles has been designed, by its breadth of expertise and discipline, to pay suitable homage to the seminal influence and contribution made by the late Alistair Hennessy towards the development of Cuban studies. For that reason, it includes a judicious mixture of the old and the new, including several of the leading and internationally well-established experts on Cuban history, politics and culture, but also some up-and-coming researchers in the field. That mixture and the combination of topics (some addressing the past directly, others assessing the present within a historical context) reflect Hennessy’s own crossdisciplinary and open-minded approach to the study of the history of Cuba.

Many of the leading philosophers in the Islamic world were doctors, yielding extensive links between philosophy and medicine. The 12 papers in this volume explore these links, focusing on the classical or formative period (up to the 11th century AD). One central theme is the Arabic reception of Greek figures who worked on medicine or medical topics, including Hippocrates, Aristotle and Galen. Several of the luminaries of philosophy in the early Islamic world are also studied, including Abū Bakr al-Rāzī, al-Fārābī, and Avicenna. Conversely, the volume also includes research on the use of philosophical ideas in medical authors, including Άlī ibn Ridwān. Attention is also given to the connections between medicine and Islamic theology (kalām). As a whole, the book provides both a survey of the kinds of work being done in this relatively unexplored area, and a springboard for further research.

This volume is based on an international colloquium held at the Warburg Institute in June 2013, entitled ‘Philosophy and Knowledge in the Renaissance: Interpreting Aristotle in the Vernacular’. It situates and explores vernacular Aristotelianism in a broad chronological context, with a geographical focus on Italy. The disciplines covered include political thought, ethics, poetics, rhetoric, logic, natural philosophy, cosmology, meteorology and metaphysics. Among the genres considered are translations, popularising commentaries, dialogues and works targeted at women. The wide-ranging and rich material presented is intended to stimulate scholars into developing this promising area of research still further.

Albinia de la Mare (1932–2001), OBE, FBA, Professor of Palaeography at King’s College London, was one of the last century’s outstanding palaeographers and the world’s leading authority on Italian Renaissance manuscripts. In November 2011 a conference was held to honour her memory, and this volume offers revised versions of most of the papers read on that occasion, as well as three additional contributions. Tilly de la Mare had exceptionally wide interests, including key individuals involved in manuscript and literary production alongside other important themes in the history of palaeography. These included the emergence of humanist script; the relationship between script and illumination; the competing methods of palaeography and philology; the social, political, academic, geographical and cultural contexts of manuscript copying and production; and the role of palaeography in the transmission of classical texts. sas.ac.uk/research/publications

This collection of essays considers the general theme of paradise from various comparative perspectives. It focuses on the way the relationship between ‘the other world’ and the structure of the whole cosmos has been viewed in different ages and traditions around the Mediterranean basin, spanning from the ancient Near East to medieval Europe. Scholars from different subject areas discuss the various ways of viewing the relationship between paradise and the general features of the universe from within their own field. The historical formation of the notion of paradise, defined as a perfect state beyond time and space, relied heavily upon a variety of temporally and culturally conditioned concepts of the physical cosmos as a finite and imperfect realm. It is precisely the emphasis on cosmography that allows the exploration of several traditions: Sumerian, ancient Iranian, Greek, Jewish, early Christian, Gnostic, Byzantine, Islamic, Scandinavian, and Latin Western.

Plutarch has been widely admired from the time of writing to the present day. Many of his works have survived and have been endlessly reproduced. They have had a powerful influence on famous writers, thinkers and artists. This volume publishes papers delivered at a conference on the ‘Afterlife of Plutarch’, which was among the first in the joint Warburg Institute and Institute of Classical Studies series on the afterlife of the Classics. Ranging from Syriac, Byzantine and Renaissance interest in Plutarch, they also explore his remarkable popularity and influence from the 16th through to the 19th century, as well as the decline of his reputation as a major historical authority which preceded the recent resurgence of interest in his writings. The papers thus reflect the widespread and enduring admiration for Plutarch across the centuries, as well as some of the dramatic twists and turns in his reception history.

From his own middle age onwards, Virgil has been revered as perhaps the greatest poet of the Latin language. Moreover, no classical Latin author has a more continuous history of copying, study and imitation than Virgil. He has been centrally important to the transmission of the classical tradition, and has played a unique role in European education. It was as a contribution to the richness of his reception that one of the first conferences in the joint Warburg Institute and Institute of Classical Studies series on the afterlife of the Classics was devoted to the afterlife of Virgil, on 8–9 May 2014. This volume publishes papers from that conference: they range in time from Petrarch to 18th-century Eastern Europe, focusing on three main areas: Italian Renaissance poetry, scholarship and visual art; English responses to Virgil’s poetry; and, more unusually, emerging literatures in Eastern Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. Within Virgil’s work there is a strong focus on the ways in which later writers and artists have used the Eclogues and the Aeneid.

Cicero was one of the most prolific and productive figures from ancient Rome, active as both a politician and a writer. As yet however modern scholarship does not do justice to the sheer range of his later influence. This volume publishes papers from a conference which aimed to enlarge the basis for the study of Cicero’s reception, by examining in detail new aspects of its variety. The conference was held in May 2015, and was jointly organised by the Institute of Classical Studies, the Warburg Institute and the Department of Greek and Latin at University College London. The book presents 12 case studies on the reception of ‘Cicero the writer’ and ‘Cicero the man’, ranging from 13th-century Italy to 19th-century England, including colonial Latin America. Scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds discuss artistic and literary responses to Cicero as well as his exploitation in philosophical and political debates. Taken together, these studies illustrate how the special characteristics of the historical Cicero colour his reception: his afterlife is one of the most varied and wide-ranging of any classical author.

In this volume, seven authors offer distinctive insights into overarching issues in the study of wealth across the Greco-Roman worlds: the sources and maintenance of wealth; the implications for differently organised societies of the division between wealthy and impoverished individuals and groups; and the moral implications of that divide. Some papers address general methodological issues and engage with scholarly debates in sociology and economic theory; others focus on specific historical problems and clusters of evidence. Taken together, the papers open up new perspectives on wealth in the ancient world, its complex relationship with power and the tensions and contradictions it entails.

Space in Greek tragedy Vassiliki Kampourelli BICS Supplement 131 Institute of Classical Studies 978‑1‑905670‑61‑1 (pb), 232pp, £55 July 2016
This book illuminates the ways in which space contributes to the creation of meaning in Greek tragedy. By applying semiotic models to tragic space, it proposes a working model for a new analysis of the categories of tragic space performance. It draws widely on the works of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides to examine the interaction between different types of space across the tragic corpus. This provides a frame of reference for the detailed studies in the second half of the book, which focus on Persae, Hippolytus and Philoctetes. A close study is offered of the spatial dynamics and semantics of selected passages of each tragedy, followed by a discussion of the handling of space in the play as a whole. New views are thus developed about disputed and controversial aspects of the theatrical realisation of the plays.

Basingstoke is frequently seen as a very modern town, the product of the last decades of the 20th century. In reality it has a long, rich and prosperous history. From its beginnings c.1000 it became a significant market centre for the area around, and a place on the route to London from the west. By 1500 it was among the top 60 towns in England by wealth and taxpayers, and the centre of a major industrial area, whose manufactured cloths formed part of international patterns of trade. Moreover, it is well documented particularly for the 15th and 16th century, when it was at its peak, and should provide a useful addition to the limited number of studies of small medieval towns. Much of the old town has been swept away by the shopping centre, but something of the medieval footprint remains in its street beyond this, in a few surviving buildings and above all in its magnificent church. This book examines these features as well as the families, whether outsiders or locals, who made the most of the new thriving economic conditions, and whose dynamism helped create the town’s expansion.

The Victoria History of Middlesex: Knightsbridge and Hyde
sas.ac.uk/research/publications
This book breaks new ground by uncovering an earlier, larger Knightsbridge and showing why its initial extent and history have been largely forgotten. Knightsbridge was the southern part of the Westminster abbey manor of Knightsbridge and Westbourne and, until 1900, covered the same area as the parish of St Margaret Westminster Detached. Pre-1900 Knightsbridge/Westminster included today’s Kensington Palace, Kensington Gardens, almost half of ‘South Kensington’, and Hyde Park west of the Serpentine (or river Westbourne). Hyde began as a separate abbey estate east of the Westbourne, but in the 14th century the abbey created the manor of Hyde from lands on both sides of the river. When Henry VIII acquired the manor to create Hyde Park, over half of Knightsbridge vanished without acknowledgement. Knightsbridge lost more land and recognition after William III bought a house and grounds which were transformed into Kensington Palace and Gardens. The book gives a wide-ranging account of this intriguing area and charts the hamlet’s development from the 13th through to the 21st centuries. sas.ac.uk/research/publications

The parish of Castle Donington lies on the south bank of the river Trent, 20 miles northwest of Leicester and 8 miles south-east of Derby. A nucleated village developed on the present site more than 1,000 years ago. A castle was built in the 1150s, and several features of a town soon developed, including a market, fair and hospital. Secondary settlements grew up alongside the Trent, by the King’s Mills and at Cavendish Bridge, the site of an important medieval ferry. Donington Park, which originated in the early 13th century as a hunting park, became a separate estate of the earls of Huntingdon in the late 16th century. This book, the first in the Leicestershire VCH series since 1964, examines the changing patterns of landscape, landownership, working lives, social structure and religious worship in Castle Donington across many centuries, and includes the settlements at King’s Mills and Cavendish Bridge. It will be of interest to local residents, visitors, family and local historians.

Bosbury is the second parish history to be produced by the Trust for the Victoria County History of Herefordshire, following the history of Eastnor published in 2013. Like Eastnor, Bosbury is an agricultural parish, near the market town of Ledbury. It covers a relatively large area below the western slopes of the Malvern Hills. In the Middle Ages Bosbury was the site of one of the favourite residences of the bishops of Hereford; in the western part of the parish, called Upleadon, was an estate belonging first to the Knights Templar and then to the Hospitallers. From the 16th century onwards both estates passed into the hands of tenants, leaving the parish without a major resident landowner until John Stedman and Edward Higgins successively developed the Bosbury House estate in the late 18th and the 19th century. Much of it was given after the First World War to create the Bosbury Farm Settlement for former soldiers.

Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies
Steventon, a chalkland village near Basingstoke, is best known because Jane Austen, the famous novelist and daughter of the local rector, spent the first 25 years of her life here. Unlike Chawton and Bath, no house or museum commemorates the author’s memory in Steventon but this new history explains how family life and observation of north Hampshire society shaped her early literary career. She wrote early versions of Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Northanger Abbey in Steventon from 1796 to 1798, drawing on local society for inspiration for characters, manners and sentiments. But the village had a rich history before and after its famous novelist and there are many other reasons to enjoy this book. Steventon is a typical southern chalkland settlement whose history provides examples of downland agriculture, agricultural improvements, a scandalous landlord who was driven out of the village by his son and excommunicated by the archbishop of Canterbury, a new Victorian manor house, of landlord–tenant relations and much else. It discusses the social, economic and religious lives of the ordinary people of the village together with the lords of the manor. sas.ac.uk/research/publications

Produced at the Warburg Institute and edited by members of staff there as well as at the Courtauld Institute of Art, the JWCI remains reliant on the two institutes’ extensive libraries, image collections and scholarship; in addition to the work of its editors, it depends on the collaboration of scholars at both institutes, who, along with outside experts, participate in the review process.
