Honour, Interest and PowerAn Illustrated History of the House of Lords, 1660-1715 Edited by RUTH PALEY & PAUL SEAWARD, with BEVERLY ADAMS, ROBIN EAGLES, CHARLES LIT TLETON

The House of Lords presented the stage on which some of the critical confrontations in English and British constitutional and political history were played out in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century.This highly illustrated book presents the first results from the research undertaken by the History of Parliament Trust on the peers and bishops between the Restoration and the accession of George I. It shows them as politicians at Westminster, engaging with the central arguments of the day, but also using Parliament to pursue their own projects; as members of an elite intensely conscious of their status and determined to defend their honour against commoners, Irish peers and each other; as a class apart, always active in devising new schemes – successful and unsuccessful – to increase their wealth and ‘interest’; and as local grandees, to whom local society looked for leadership and protection.£30.00/$60.00 October 2010 9781 8 4383 576 9 60 colour & 100 b/w illus.; 352pp, 25 x 18.5, HB

Liberal Intellectuals and Public Culture in Modern Britain, 1815-1914 Making Words FleshWILLIAM C. LUBENOW

This book is a study of nineteenth-century liberalism, understood as a process rather than a philosophy, policy or ideology. The collapse of the confessional state opened public space to new forms of authority. Clubs and societies created the characteristic mental repertoires of liberalism. Liberalism was transparent and flexible but it was unable to restrain the robustness of Roman Catholic and nationalist authority. WILLIAM C. LUBENOW is Professor of History at Stockton College, New Jersey.£55.00/$105.00(s) September 2010 978 1 84383 559 2 240pp, 23.4 x 15.4, HB

Fighting for Britain African Soldiers in the Second World WarDAVID KILLINGRAY with MARTIN PLAUT

The first major study of the experiences of the hundreds of thousands of African soldiers who served with the British army during the Second World War. During the Second World War over half-a-million African troops served with the British Army as combatants and non-combatants – the largest single movement of African men overseas since the slave trade. This account, based mainly on oral evidence and soldiers’ letters, tells the story of the African experience of the war. It is a ‘history from below’ that describes how men were recruited for a war about which most knew very little. DAVID KILLINGRAY is Professor Emeritus of History, Goldsmiths, and Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London.£45.00/$95.00(s) February 2010 978 1 84701 015 5 16 b/w illus.; 304pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB

Burke’s Peerage – Royal Families of Europe WILLIAM B ORTRICK

Royal Families of Europe is a comprehensive dictionary of the European Royal Families, reigning and non-reigning. The volume features individual entries for over 50 Royal Houses, which have reigned in Europe since the eighteenth century. It is also the first Burke’s publication to feature the newly announced editorial policy of listing offspring in order of birth rather than giving precedence to male children.

The Letters of Samuel Pepys Edited by GUY DE LA BÉD OYÈRE

New selection of Pepys’ letters throws light on his life and early career, and includes 30 never previously published. This collection represents the first edition of Pepys’ letters drawn from all possible sources to be published since 1933. Since the Diary does not cover this period, the letters enable the reader to follow Pepys’ early career on the staff of the Earl of Sandwich, his rise to greatness as Secretary of the Admiralty, and his retirement after the Glorious Revolution. The Letters form an illuminating counterpoint and frame to Pepys’s diary: less carefully orchestrated, they reveal a more complex and multi-faceted individual. THE OBSERVER

The diaries of Charlotte Bousfield, extending from 1878 to 1896, paint a vivid picture of the activities of a multi-talented Bedford family, led by a strong-minded matriarch.

The wartime diary of a conscientious objector that is perceptive, colourful, wide-ranging and sometimes amusing.

England and the 1641 Irish Rebellion JOSEPH COPE

The study shows how the 1641 Irish Rebellion played an integral role in politicizing the English people and escalating the political crisis of the 1640s. This book explores the consequences of the 1641 Irish Rebellion by focusing on local, national and regional contexts. In Ireland, the experiences of survivors reflected the complexities of life in multiethnic and religiously-diverse communities. In England, survivors were presented as victims of an international Catholic conspiracy, and English subjects had obligations to their countrymen and coreligionists. These obligations quickly expanded into calls for action against recusants and suspected popish agents in England.

The King’s BenchBailiwick Magistrates and Local Governance in Normandy, 1670-1740ZOË A. SCHNEIDER

An examination of kings’ courts and lords’ courts in Normandy that opens a new chapter in the debate over absolutism and the nature of the state in early modern France. In this richly detailed study of Normandy in the seventeenth and early-eighteenth centuries, Zoë Schneider vividly brings to life the teeming world of the local courts, with their magistrates and jailers, townspeople and peasants. Together they contested that vital border where the private world of families and property collided with the public commonwealth. Schneider chronicles the transformation of local governance after the mid-seventeenth century, as judges and their courts became the face of public order in the countryside, opening a new chapter in the debate over absolutism, sovereignty, and the nature of the state in early modern France.An outstanding book. It is based on an impressive amount of research in archives that are unwieldy and difficult to use. It makes a major contribution to the debate concerning the functioning of the absolutist state.

New insights on the growth of the territorial state in early modern Europe, the nature of the French absolute monarchy, and the political legacy of the Sun King.

David Hume and Eighteenth-Century America MARK G. SPENCER

A thorough examination of the influence of David Hume’s work on early American political thought. This newly-available paperback explores the reception of David Hume’s political thought in eighteenth-century America, challenging the assumption that Hume’s thought had little influence in early America. Drawing upon early American book catalogues, periodicals, the writings of less known thinkers, and Hume’s major texts, this book demonstrates his impact on the social history of ideas, an essential context for understanding Hume’s influence on many of the classic texts of early American political thought. MARK G. SPENCER is associate professor of history at Brock University where he holds a Chancellor’s Chair for Research Excellence.This is an exceptionally good book…very well-written, impeccably documented, [it] should be in every self-respecting library – private or institutional.

The Indo-German Identification Reconciling South Asian Origins and European Destinies, 1765-1885ROBERT COWAN

The nineteenth-century development – and later consequences – of the imagined relationship between ancient India and modern German culture. Nineteenth-century German intellectuals such as Novalis, Schelling, and Friedrich Schlegel attempted to reconcile what they saw as Germany’s cultural origins in ancient India with their imagined destiny as saviors of Europe, then shifted to Indophobia when the attempt foundered. The views of Hegel, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche on India were disastrously misappropriated in the twentieth century. This book argues that the study of an “Indo-German” ideal continues to offer lessons about cultural difference in the “post-national” twenty-first century.

Specifically, this study analyses the emergence of the idea of surgical organ replacement within the context of nineteenth-century academic surgery and physiology. Schlich’s study ultimately tells the story of the unsuccessful attempts to develop transplantation into a viable therapeutic option. £45.00/$80.00 December 2010 978 1 58046 353 9 320pp, 9 x 6 in, HB Rochester Studies in Medical History

Publishing Culture and the “Reading Nation” German Book History in the Long Nineteenth CenturyEdited by LYNNE TATLO CK

Essays examining aspects of German book history – in relation to writers, readers, and publishers – from the 1780s to the 1930s. German book publishing experienced an unprecedented boom in the nineteenth century. Publishers responded to increasing literacy with new marketing methods. Technical innovations made books for a range of budgets possible; connoisseurship also increased. Viewing the life-cycle of the book as a convergence of cultural, social, and economic phenomena, the essays examine books from the period, especially those that Germans actually read, thus contributing to a complex and nuanced picture of writing, publishing, and reading in the shadow of nation-building and class formation.

The Labour Party and the Politics of War and Peace, 1900-1924 PAUL BRID GEN

A fresh investigation of the Labour party’s foreign policy in its formative years. The early Labour party sought to construct and implement a genuinely radical foreign policy, involving input from the wider labour movement and international socialist contacts. Before the war, it actively attempted to establish ideological links between socialism, radicalism and liberalism. After the war, however, it’s foreign policy objectives were heavily influenced by Gladstonian internationalism as it claimed itself an heir to nineteenth-century radical traditions.. £50.00/$95.00(s) October 2009 978 0 86193 303 7 236pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB Royal Historical Society Studies in History New Series Royal Historical Society

Empire, Development and Colonialism The Past in the PresentEdited by MARK DUFFIELD & VERNON HEWIT T

A unique contribution to the renewed debate about empire and imperialism. The parallels between the language of nineteenth-century liberal imperialism and the humanitarian interventionism of the post-Cold War era are striking. The American military, both in Somalia in the early 1990s and in the aftermath of the Iraq invasion, used ethnographic information compiled by British colonial administrators.

Interwar Vienna Culture between Tradition and ModernityEdited by DEB ORAH HOLMES & LISA SILVERMAN

New essays providing a wide-ranging cultural, social, and political picture of volatile between-the-wars Vienna. Although beset by social, political, and economic instabilities, interwar Vienna was an exhilarating place, with pioneering developments in the arts and in the social sphere. This interdisciplinary volume considers the cultural and social movements that shaped a city caught between extremes, from neopositivism to cultural pessimism, Catholic mysticism to Austro-Marxism, Enlightenment liberalism to rabid anti-Semitism. The essay topics range from modern dance, theater, music, film, and literature to economic, cultural, and racial policy. CONTRIBUTORS: Andrea Amort, Andrew Barker, Alys X.

Creating the Russian Peril Education, the Public Sphere, and National Identity in Imperial Germany, 1890-1914TROY R . E . PADD O CK

German attitudes toward and stereotypes of Russia before the First World War and how they were inculcated in the public. Cultural historians of Germany often neglect the German-Russian aspect of the First World War, focusing on Great Britain. This intellectual and cultural history gives German attitudes toward Russia their due, revealing an evolving obsession with Russia during the quarter-century before the war, when Germany came to consider itself a Western nation, with Russia as an Oriental “other.” It uncovers common assumptions that were ingrained in the public through education and resulted in the ascendancy of a view of Russia as the “Slavic peril.” TROY PADDOCK is professor of History at Southern Connecticut State University.£40.00/$75.00(s) March 2010 978 1 57113 416 5 6 b/w illus.; 276pp, 9 x 6 in, HB

The Many Faces of Weimar Cinema Rediscovering Germany’s Filmic LegacyEdited by CHRISTIAN RO GOWSKI

New essays re-evaluating Weimar cinema from a broadened, up-to-date perspective. Weimar cinema has often been equated with a handful of auteurist filmmakers, a few canonical films, or even “expressionist film.” But recently such assessments have been challenged by advancements in theory and research that highlight the tremendous richness and diversity of Weimar cinema. This new source material calls for a re-evaluation that considers lesser-known directors and producers, popular genres, experiments of the avant-garde, and nonfiction films, all of which are attended to by the essays in this volume.

Reworking the German Past Adaptations in Film, the Arts, and Popular CultureEdited by SUSAN G. FIGGE & JENIFER K. WARD

Views adaptations as a way in which Germany seeks to come to terms with its past. Coming to terms with the past has been a preoccupation in German culture since the Second World War, and there has been a surge of interest in adaptation of literary works in recent years. Focusing on adaptation of twentieth-century German texts from one medium to another and from one cultural moment to another, this volume combines the two areas of inquiry, showing that adaptation studies are particularly well suited for tracing Germany’s obsessive cultural engagement with its history.

A Poet’s Reich Politics and Culture in the George CircleEdited by MELISSA S. LANE & MARTIN A. RUEHL

The effects of the George Circle on early-twentieth-century intellectual and political life in Germany. The poet Stefan George, one of the most important cultural figures in modern Germany, attracted a circle of disciples who subscribed to his homoerotic and aestheticist vision of life and sought to transform it into reality. The works and thought of the circle profoundly affected the attitudes of Germany’s educated middle class and are thus crucial to Germany’s cultural and intellectual history, yet they have until now received little attention in English-language scholarship, a situation this volume seeks to redress.

A Critical History of German Film STEPHEN BRO CKMANN

A historical survey of German films as works of art from the beginnings to the present, designed for classroom use. A history of German film dealing with individual films as works of art has long been needed. Existing histories tend to treat cinema as an economic rather than an aesthetic phenomenon; earlier surveys that do engage with individual films do not include films of recent decades. This book treats representative films from 1913’s The Student of Prague to 2006’s The Lives of Others. Providing historical context through an introduction and interchapters preceding the treatments of each era’s films, the volume is suitable for semester-long survey courses.

Metamorphoses of the Vampire in Literature and Film Cultural Transformations in Europe, 1732-1933ERIK BUTLER

The first study to propose a unifying logic underlying the many and varied representations of the vampire in literature and culture. For 300 years, fictions of the vampire have fed off anxieties about cultural continuity: its “metamorphoses” are distorted images of social transformation. This book explains why representations of vampirism began in the 18th century, flourished in the 19th, and eclipsed other forms of monstrosity in the early 20th. It discusses many French and German works new to English-speaking students and scholars. It is the first study to identify a unifying logic underlying the vampire’s many and often apparently contradictory forms. ERIK BUTLER is assistant professor of German Studies at Emory University, where he also teaches comparative literature and film.£40.00/$75.00(s) March 2010 978 1 57113 432 5 238pp, 9 x 6 in, HB Studies in German Literature, Linguistics and Culture

A Tanner’s Worth of Tune Rediscovering the post-war British MusicalADRIAN WRIGHT

First full-length study that looks at the history of the British musical in its own right and therefore stepping out of the shadow of its American counterpart. This book is not an encyclopaedia of the British musical in the twentieth century, but an examination of its progress as it struggled to find an identity. It shows how the British musical has reacted to social and cultural forces, suggesting that some of its leading composers such as Lionel Bart and Julian Slade contributed much more to the genre than has previously been acknowledged.

Screening War Perspectives on German SufferingEdited by PAUL CO OKE & MARC SILBERMAN

Re-examines German cinema’s representation of the Germans as victims during the Second World War and its aftermath. The recent “discovery” of German wartime suffering has profoundly impacted German visual culture, as film after film explores how ordinary Germans suffered during and after the war. The topic, held to be taboo until recently, actually has a long tradition on the German screen. Screening War explores how images of German suffering have been part of Germans’ attempts to face the trauma of the past and construct a contemporary place for themselves in the world.

Ulrike Meinhof and West German Terrorism Language, Violence, and IdentitySARAH COLVIN

First specialized study of Meinhof and the RAF in English, focusing on their use of language to justify extreme violence. In 1970 Ulrike Meinhof abandoned a career as a journalist to join the Red Army Faction; captured in 1972, she died mysteriously in prison in 1976. The charismatic voice of the RAF, she has often been idealized as a freedom fighter despite her use of extreme violence. In an effort to understand how terrorism takes root, Sarah Colvin seeks a dispassionate view of Meinhof and a period when West Germany was declaring its own “war on terror.” SARAH COLVIN is Professor and Eudo C.

The Scourge of Demons Possession, Lust, and Witchcraft in a Seventeenth-Century Italian ConventJEFFREY R . WAT T

A fascinating examination of alleged demon possession and witchcraft in a seventeenth-century convent in Carpi, Italy. Based primarily on the exhaustive investigation by the Inquisition of Modena, The Scourge of Demons examines a case of alleged demon possession and witchcraft at the convent of Santa Chiara in Carpi in northern Italy, where fourteen women were afflicted with a strange illness that caused screaming fits and other bizarre behavior. Watt concludes that Santa Chiara’s diabolical troubles and their denouement were profoundly shaped by the unique confluence of religious, cultural, judicial, and intellectual trends that flourished in the 1630s.

God’s Bounty? The Churches and the Natural WorldEdited by PETER CLARKE & TONY CLAYD ON

Illustrates how Christianity has long sought to learn from nature, as a ‘book’ full of examples to illustrate religious teaching. A tension between faith and reason has marked Christian approaches to nature, and theologians since Augustine have sought to resolve this. This volume bears witness to lively scholarly debate on these themes, and covers a wide chronological, geographical and thematic range stretching from missionary encounters with the New Worlds to popular and learned responses towards nature in early modern Europe.

One of the most significant works on Anglican and Women’s history to be published in recent years. Includes a foreword by the Archbishop of Canterbury. This book examines how religious faith and shifting ideologies of womanhood and motherhood in the imperial and post-colonial worlds acted as a source of empowerment for conservative women. Ordinary women became activists long before women had the vote or could be ordained priests. Having survived an identity crisis in the 1960s, the Mothers’ Union now provides a model of unity and reconciled diversity for a divided worldwide church, engaging with social issues at the grass roots.

Ideas of Protestant national identity clashed with liberal Anglican and moderate Anglo-Catholic conceptions of Church and nation.

The Problem of Pleasure Sport, Recreation and the Crisis of Victorian ReligionD OMINIC ERD OZAIN

The book combines intellectual, cultural and social history to address a major area of encounter between Christianity and British culture: the world of leisure. Victorian evangelicalism demonstrated an ability to excite the affections but also a suspicion of worldly pleasures. Suspicion developed into hostility and the crisis of Victorian religion ensued. The mid-Victorian turn to recreation did not solve the problem – the problem of overdrawn boundaries between church and world gave way to a new confusion of gospel and culture. Secularisation did not wait for rebellions of the 1960s: it emerged in the Victorian transformation of religion into ethics.

White Chief, Black Lords Shepstone and the Colonial State in Natal, South Africa, 1845-1878THOMAS V. MCCLEND ON

A study of colonial Natal, focused on the contradictions related to indirect rule, the legacy of which continues to inform the political and social climate of post-apartheid South Africa. An analysis of key crises and turning points during British colonial rule of Natal, later part of South Africa. McClendon explores the contradictions between the colonial civilizing mission and the practice of indirect rule: while colonial states professed that their guiding imperative was to transform and “civilize” colonized societies, fiscal limitations resulted in ruling through indigenous authorities and customs. He concludes by spotlighting the continuing importance of these unresolved contradictions in post-apartheid South Africa.

Making Headway The Introduction of Western Civilization in Colonial Northern NigeriaANDREW E. BARNES

A thought-provoking study of local peoples’ participation in the process of cultural transfer in colonial Northern Nigeria. In this penetrating study, Andrew Barnes argues that competition among colonizing forces impelled British colonial administrators and Christian missionaries alike to offer Africans those aspects of Western civilization they specifically wanted: schools that provided greater access to Western intellectual skills. Europeans successfully transferred the cultural values they hoped to foster only because Africans and Europeans reached a consensus. Ultimately, Africans had greater control over the introduction of Western civilization to the region than traditionally thought. ANDREW E.

Africans and the Politics of Popular Culture Edited by TOYIN FALOLA & AUGUSTINE AGWUELE

Explores the instrumentalization of various aspects of popular culture in Africa. Culture is situational and political, and cultural negotiations have been packaged and exploited over time and used as tools of resistance and agitation. This volume demonstrates how popular culture practices have been manipulated for personal and collective survival by discussing a wide array of cultural manifestations and theoretical perspectives, including kinship, religion, conflict resolution, music, cinema, drama, and literature. The essays here further codify and explicate aspects of popular practices based on data from countries in Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
