The Collected Letters of Jane MorrisEdited by JAN MARSH & FRANK C. SHARPPresents 500 newly discovered letters from Jane to diverse correspondents, which radically revise the popular view of a silent, discontented invalid.Jane Morris (1839-1914) was a famous Pre-Raphaelite model and one of the Victorian age’s most enigmatic figures. She married William Morris and transformed herself into a cultured member of the art world. Her long love affair with Dante Gabriel Rossetti has become the stuff of legend. Later she had a romantic relationship with the adventurer Scawen Blunt and a prickly one with Bernard Shaw. The greater fame of husband and lovers caused her to be overlooked.The editors of this volume have discovered over 500 letters from Janey to diverse correspondents, which radically revise the popular view of a silent, discontented invalid and instead portray her as an independent thinker following her own causes. The vast majority of the letters are unpublished, all are fully annotated. £95.00/$165.00(s) October 2011 978 1 84383 676 6 8 colour & 24 b/w illus.; 528pp, 24.4 x 17.2, HB

Women in Weimar FashionDiscourses & Displays in German Culture, 1918-1933 MILA GANEVANew view of the crucial role of fashion discourse and practice in Weimar Germany and its significance for women.In Weimar Germany, fashion was not only manipulated by the mass media – film, magazines, advertising, photography, and popular literature – but also emerged as a powerful medium for women’s self-expression. Female writers and journalists engaged in a challenging, self-reflective commentary on current styles. By regularly publishing on these topics in the illustrated press and popular literature, they transformed traditional genres and carved out significant public space for themselves. This book proposes a new genealogy of women’s modernity by focusing on the discourse and practice of Weimar fashion, within which women were transformed from objects of male voyeurism into subjects with complex, ambivalent, and constantly shifting experiences of metropolitan modernity.MILA GANEVA is Associate Professor of German at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio.An indispensable contribution to research in this area.

Thomas More’s Trial by JuryA Procedural and Legal Review with a Collection of DocumentsEdited by HENRY ANSGAR KELLY, LOUIS W. KARLIN & GERARD B. WEGEMERThis book challenges the recently established consensus that the trial was a carefully prepared and executed judicial process in which the judges were amenable to reasonable arguments. In recent times the 1535 trial of Thomas More has been taken seriously as a carefully prepared and executed judicial process. The contributions in this book disagree with this consensus assembling surviving testimonies to the trial for a re-examination. The book concludes with an edition and translation of the pertinent documents of the trial. An appendix gives a dramatic reconstruction of the trial in light of the above analyses.The book is a “must read” not only for students of law and Tudor history but to all concerned with justice and due process. As a whole, the book challenges Duncan Derrett’s conclusions that the trial was conducted in accord with contemporary legal norms and that More was convicted only on the single charge of denying Parliament the power to declare Henry VIII Supreme Head of the English Church – a position that has been uniformly accepted by historians since 1964.£55.00/$95.00(s) September 2011 978 1 84383 629 2 272pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB

Obasanjo, Nigeria and the WorldJOHN ILIFFEThis first full account of Obasanjo’s life from 1937 to 2010 combines an analysis of an exceptionally vital and complicated man with a history of an exceptionally vital and complicated country.Olusegun Obasanjo has been the most important and controversial figure in Nigeria’s first 50 years of independence and the most powerful African of his time. John Iliffe examines Olusegun Obasanjo’s complex personality and the extreme controversy he arouses among Nigerians, and illustrates the immense demands made on a leader of a state like Nigeria.JOHN ILIFFE is a Fellow of St John’s College, Cambridge. He retired as Professor of African History at Cambridge in 2006This is an important examination of possibly the most controversial personality in modern Nigerian politics. The strength of this study is that it is an outsider’s calmer examination of a man who evokes such strong emotions that studies of him within Nigeria are necessarily tainted by widespread perceptions of who he is.

John W. ThompsonPsychiatrist in the Shadow of the HolocaustPAUL J. WEINDLING

Biography of a World War II-era physician whose work was a response to the suffering of Holocaust victims, and whose investigations laid the groundwork for the Nuremberg Medical Trials.John W. Thompson: Psychiatrist in the Shadow of the Holocaust is the biography of a doctor whose revulsion at Nazi human experiments prompted him to seek a humane basis for physician-patient relations. As a military scientific intelligence officer in 1945, Thompson was the first to name “medical war crimes” as a special category for prosecution. His investigations laid the groundwork for the Nuremberg Medical Trials, and for the novel idea of “informed consent.” Yet, Thompson has remained a little-known figure, despite his many scientific, literary, and religious connections.PAUL WEINDLING is Wellcome Trust Research Professor at the Centre for Health, Medicine and Society: Past and Present, Oxford Brookes University£55.00/$99.00(s) September 2010 978 1 58046 289 1 9 b/w illus.; 456pp, 9 x 6in, HB Rochester Studies in Medical History

This elegantly written memoir demands the attention of those interested in the writing of history and the story of the universities.Patrick Collinson was Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Cambridge and perhaps the most distinguished religious historian of his generation. This book tells the story of an evangelical upbringing in pre-war Britain, of evacuation during the Blitz, national service during the Cold War, teaching in the Sudan during the Suez Crisis, and expatriate life in Australia during the 1970s, before returning to Britain in time for the first great funding crisis of post-war higher education.£45.00/$80.00(s) March 2011 978 1 84383 627 8 28 colour & 38 b/w illus.; 244pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB Church of England Record Society

The Correspondence of Dante Gabriel Rossetti 9The Last Decade, 1873-1882: Kelmscott to Birchington IV. 1880-1882.Edited by WILLIAM E. FREDEMAN

The final volume of Rossetti’s correspondence, scrupulously edited by a team of experts.In 1878-79, Rossetti lived what might appear to be a more tranquil version of his first years at Cheyne Walk. The long breach with Ford Madox Brown finally ended, and he began to see his brother regularly again; and he managed to complete a number of commissions, and other paintings. However, as the correspondence collected here show, his depression was seldom far away; he was often unable to work. His repeated letters to Watts-Dunton and Shields, asking them to come over, reveal his need for companionship, preferably in his own home, that was a constant of his character. There are also a number of letters to Jane Morris.£125.00/$220.00(s) November 2010 978 1 84384 227 9 1 colour illus.; 768pp, 24.4 x 17.2, HB

The Letters of George Davenport, 1651-1677Edited by BRENDA M. PASK & MARGARET HARVEY

Letters written by a clergyman during the late seventeenth century illuminate the religious turmoil of the period.George Davenport was an Anglican clergyman in the north of England whose career covered the Interregnum and the Restoration. Many of his letters are to his former Cambridge tutor, William Sancroft, and were written to keep Sancroft supplied with information about Durham, needing to collect revenues from his living and then to rebuild his prebendal house. The earlier letters reveal something about the life of an illegally (since episcopally) ordained young Anglican who, unlike many, did not go into exile. but stayed largely in London supported by friends. The letters are presented here with full introduction and elucidatory notes.£50.00/$90.00(s) August 2011 978 0 85444 070 2 1 b/w illus.; 256pp, 21.6 x 13.8, HB Publications of the Surtees Society Surtees Society

RECORDS OF EARLY ENGLISH DRAMAThe Records of Early English Drama is an international scholarly project, aiming to establish, for the first time, the broad context from which the great drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries grew, by examining the historical manuscripts that provide external evidence of drama, secular music, and other communal entertainment and ceremony from the Middle Ages until 1642, when the Puritans closed the London theatres. It works to locate, transcribe, and edit all surviving documentary evidence of drama, minstrelsy, and public ceremonial in England during the period.

Inns of Court: 3 volume setEdited by ALAN H. NELSON & JOHN R . ELLIOT T, JR

The records of dramatic performances at the Inns of Court, drawn from a variety of manuscript and printed sources, reveal a rich history of revels, plays, masques and secular music.London’s four Inns of Court served as nurseries not only of common law and lawyers, but of the social arts of music and dancing, and of the mimetic arts of comedy, tragedy, and the masque. Their denizens composed and acted in their own plays, especially in the 1560s under Elizabeth I, and performed in masques composed by professional playwrights in the Jacobean period. This three-volume edition includes material from manuscripts and printed books from the archives and libraries of all four Inns, The National Archives, the British Library, the Folger Shakespeare Library and other repositories.£195.00/$340.00(s) January 2011 978 1 84384 259 0 10 b/w illus.; 1,184pp, 24.7 x 16.6, HB Records of Early English Drama

Late Medieval IpswichTrade and IndustryNICHOLAS R . AMOR

A detailed study of Ipswich at a time of great growth and prosperity, highlighting the activities of its industries, merchants and craftsmen.Ipswich in the late middle ages was a flourishing town. Its port handled a wide range of commodities that were bought and sold by merchants from diverse backgrounds. However, despite its importance, and the richness of its medieval archives, the story of Ipswich at the time has been sadly neglected. This is a gap which the author remedies and his careful study allows a detailed picture of urban life to emerge, shedding new light not only on the borough itself, but on towns more generally at a crucial point in their development, at a period of growing affluence when ordinary people enjoyed an unprecedented rise in living standards, and the benefits of what might be termed our first consumer revolution.NICHOLAS AMOR gained his doctorate from the University of East Anglia.£50.00/$90.00(s) October 2011 978 1 84383 673 5 6 b/w illus.; 288pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB

John de Vere, Thirteenth Earl of Oxford (1442-1513)‘The Foremost Man of the Kingdom’JAMES ROSS

The first book to deal with de Vere’s life and extraordinary career, during the Wars of the Roses and beyond. Earl of Oxford for fifty years, and subject of six kings of England during the political strife of the Wars of the Roses, John de Vere’s life and career included more changes of fortune than almost any other, and all are covered in this first-ever study, which also tackles a number of broader themes. It reconsiders the role of the nobility under Henry VII, challenging the common perception of Henry as an anti-aristocratic king. It also explores East Anglian political society in the second half of the fifteenth century, how the earl came to dominate it, how successfully he exercised his power, and the personnel, including the Paston family, he used to run the region.JAMES ROSS holds his doctorate from the University of Oxford.£60.00/$99.00(s) March 2011 978 1 84383 614 8 1 b/w illus.; 294pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB

The Middleton PapersThe Financial Problems of a Yorkshire Recusant Family in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth CenturiesEdited by JOSE BOSWORTH, PAT HUDSON& MAUREEN JOHNSON

Edition of financial records captures the life and preoccupations of a Catholic family at two crucial periods in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.The Middletons were one of the chief Catholic families in Yorkshire, and as such suffered considerably for their faith. The records they have left are a hugely valuable source for knowledge of life at the time. This volume is based on two account books, both of which were kept following periods of national upheaval and personal hardship (1578 to 1582, and 1653 to 1655); they vividly document the family’s strategies for survival and reconstruction in two different but challenging periods of their history. Much can be learnt from them about the structure of a gentry household, its estate management, farming methods, labour usage and wages. Meanwhile, personal details of a more intimate kind glimmer through the text. Births and deaths are recorded, as are details of diet, journeys made, fairs attended, visitors received and visits made.£50.00/$90.00(s) December 2010 978 1 90356 431 8 2 b/w illus.; 220pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB Yorkshire Archaeological Society Record Series Yorkshire Archaeological Society

A topical subject offering interesting parallels between the news revolution in the age of James I and Charles I and our internet age. An important contribution to the history of print and books.London’s News Press shows that seventeenth-century England was very much part of a European wide news community. The book provides for a new print history that looks across Europe and the interconnecting political and religious groups with international networks. These were the earliest printed periodical news publications. Periodicity and its implications for trade and customers are explored as well as the roles of publishers and editors. The period saw a much bigger circulation of news than had ever been experienced before.

Culture and Politics at the Court of Charles II, 1660-1685MAT THEW JENKINSON

A study of how representations and images of Charles II and his kingship were formed and presented by those in and around the court.The reconstitution of the royal court in 1660 triggered fears associated with earlier Stuart courts: disorder, sexual liberty, popery and arbitrary government. This book illustrates the ways in which court culture was informed by the heady politics of Britain between 1660 and 1685. The complex dynamics of Charles II’s court culture ran beneath the surface of show and ceremony. Attempts to stabilise and strengthen the Stuart monarchy after the Restoration of Charles II were undercut by cultural materials emanating from the royal court itself.MATTHEW JENKINSON completed his PhD at Merton College, Oxford.£60.00/$99.00(s) November 2010 978 1 84383 590 5 10 b/w illus.; 310pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB Studies in Early Modern Cultural, Political and Social History

The Making of the Irish Protestant AscendancyThe Life of William Conolly, 1662-1729PATRICK WALSH

The life and political career of William Conolly, a key figure in the establishment of the eighteenth century protestant ascendancy in Ireland.Outlines how William Conolly rose from a Catholic, relatively humble background, how he acquired very significant wealth, held many key political positions and patronised the architects who fashioned Georgian Dublin and Irish country houses. His life illustrates how the protestant ascendancy was consolidated, but also shows that the ascendancy was not a closed elite, and that it contained a strong strand of Irish patriotism, being much more than the instrument of British rule in Ireland.PATRICK WALSH is a Research Fellow in the Department of History, Trinity College Dublin.Succeeds magnificently in reconstructing the life and career of an arriviste politician who rose to a level of political dominance that allowed a contemporary to refer to him as Ireland’s “prime minister”.

A new investigation of James I and VI’s policy in the troubled Border region between England and Scotland.The Scottish Borders experienced dramatic change on James VI’s succession to the throne of England: James was to prosecute a pacification of crime in the region. This volume explores his actions in the Middle March, examining governmental processes and structures of power there before and after the Union. It places the Middle March in the context of Scottish state formation and political control, testing wider claims about the changing nature of governance in early modern Scotland and within a nascent ‘Great Britain’.ANNA GROUNDWATER is an Honorary Postdoctoral Fellow in Scottish History at the University of Edinburgh.Well researched, well written and contains a lot of new information for any who are interested in Borders history.

The Great Trial: A Swaledale Lead Mining Dispute in the Court of Exchequer, 1705-1708Edited by TIM GATES

Fully annotated edition of the records of a notorious eighteenth-century court case.From 1705 to 1709, a legal battle was fought out in the court of exchequer between Thomas, Lord Wharton, and Reginald Marriott Esq. over the lead mines on Grinton moor in Swaledale. It became a cause célèbre due to the high political office occupied by Lord Wharton and because of the vast sums of money at stake. Large numbers of local people were drawn in as witnesses on both sides and their testimony provides a fascinating insight into the life of this remote Yorkshire valley in the opening years of the eighteenth century. This is the first time that all the court records, including the testimony of over three hundred witnesses, have been published in full. The result will be of great value not only to historians of the law but to anyone interested in the history of the Yorkshire Dales.£50.00/$90.00(s) October 2011 978 1 90356 456 1 400pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB Yorkshire Archaeological Society Record Series Yorkshire Archaeological Society

Poverty, Gender and the Life-Cycle under the English Poor Law, 1760-1834SAMANTHA WILLIAMS

Examination of welfare during the last years of the Poor Law, bringing out the impact of poverty on particular sections of society. Social welfare, increasingly extensive during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, was by the first third of the nineteenth under considerable pressure, during a “crisis” period when levels of poverty soared. This book examines the poor and their families during these final decades of the old Poor Law and takes as a case study the experience of poor families in two Bedfordshire communities, Campton and Shefford, and contrasts it with the perspectives of other participants in parish politics, from the magistracy to the vestry, and from overseers to village ratepayers. That gender and life-cycle were crucial features of poverty is demonstrated: the lone mother and her dependent children and the elderly dominated the relief rolls.

Venereal Disease, Hospitals and the Urban Poor London’s “Foul Wards,” 1600-1800KEVIN SIENA

A re-examination of the role of charity and treating venereal disease in public hospitals in early-modern London.Kevin Siena explores how early modern London society responded to the rampant spread of the pox among the poor. Some have asserted that public authorities turned their backs on the “foul” and only began to offer care for venereal patients in the Enlightenment. In fact, London hospitals established “foul wards” at least as early as the mid-sixteenth century. Far from banning paupers with the pox, hospitals made treating them one of their primary services. Yet the sexual nature of their ailment complicated the way they were able to pursue and receive health care. The book offers new insights on patients’ experiences of illness and on London’s health care system itself.KEVIN SIENA is assistant professor of history at Trent University.A superbly refined view of the care offered to the venereally diseased poor [and] a model for future historical efforts directed towards a better understanding of the care sought for and received by this often overlooked, foundational segment of London society.

Time and the French RevolutionThe Republican Calendar, 1789-Year xIVMAT THEW SHAW

A history of the innovation and effects of the French Republican Calendar.The French Republican Calendar was perhaps the boldest of all the reforms undertaken in Revolutionary France. Introduced in 1793 and used until 1806, the Calendar not only reformed the weeks and months of the year, but decimalised the hours of the day and dated the year from the beginning of the French Republic. This book not only provides a history of the calendar, but places it in the context of eighteenth-century time-consciousness, arguing that the French were adept at working within several systems of time-keeping, whether that of the Church, civil society, or the rhythms of the seasons. Developments in time-keeping technology and changes in working patterns challenged early-modern temporalities, and the new calendar can also be viewed as a step on the path toward a more modern conception of time.MATTHEW SHAW is a curator at the British Library, London.£50.00/$90.00(s) August 2011 978 0 86193 311 2 10 b/w illus.; 198pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB Royal Historical Society Studies in History New Series Royal Historical Society

A Frenchman’s Year in Suffolk, 1784FRANÇOIS DE LA RO CHEFOUCAULD, translated by NORMAN SCARFE

Suffolk – and indeed English – life and customs caught and preserved by a keenly enquiring and frequently appreciative visitor.When François de la Rochefoucauld (then 18), and his brother Alexandre visited Suffolk in 1784, the events which were to lead to the French Revolution in 1789 were already in train. François’ father, the duc de Liancourt, Grand Master of the Wardrobe at Louis xVI’s court, was well placed to appreciate the dangers of the situation in France, and sent his sons to England for a year to appreciate the ordering of a country which had already experienced revolution. Such reflections are never far below the surface of this otherwise cheerful journal of a year abroad, which gives a vivid picture of English provincial life; François’s observations range over such diverse subjects as English customs and manners and methods of agriculture and stockbreeding, and include a lively account of a general election.A fascinating account of provincial life and manners.

A new assessment of the life and political career of Lord Shelburne, prime minister 1782-83, and of the context in which he lived.Although Lord Shelburne was prime minister for only a short period, 1782-83 – but a key period in which peace with the newly-independent United States was concluded – he was an extremely interesting politician: a supporter of the crown, but also connected to continental philosophers and intellectuals. This book presents a fresh appraisal of him and the world in which he lived. It discusses his political career, his constitutional ideas and the people with whom he shared these ideas, his family including the vibrant social and intellectual life centred on his home at Bowood House, his estates including those in Ireland and his finances, and his religious views and connections.NIGEL ASTON is Reader in Early Modern History in the School of Historical Studies at the University of Leicester.CONTRIBUTORS: Nigel Aston, Clarissa Campbell Orr, John Cannon, Emmanuele de Champs, G.

New essays exploring the relationship between warfare and Enlightenment thought both historically and in the present.Enlightenment discourse developed during a period of prolonged European warfare. Although the Enlightenment is traditionally identified with the ideals of progress, eternal peace, reason, and self-determination, it is marked by its proximity to war. Enlightened War investigates the multiple and complex interactions between warfare and Enlightenment thought, making a case for their ideological affinity. The essays are interdisciplinary, engaging with history, art history, philosophy, military theory, gender studies, and literature and with historical events and cultural contexts from the early Enlightenment through German Classicism and Romanticism.£50.00/$85.00(s) March 2011 978 1 57113 495 0 8 b/w illus.; 360pp, 9 x 6in, HB Studies in German Literature Linguistics and Culture

Focusing on Spanish art from the Golden Age to Goya, leading scholars chart the growth in understanding and appreciation of the Spanish School, and its punctuation by aesthetic controversy, persistent distrust of religious images in Protestant Britain, and the successive ‘discoveries’ of individual artists – Murillo, Velázquez, Ribera, Zurbarán, El Greco and Goya.

Samuel Rawson Gardiner and the Idea of HistoryMARK NIxON

A study of an eminent historian of seventeenth-century Britain and his work, showing its continued importance for all those working on the period.Samuel Rawson Gardiner (1829-1902) is the colossus of seventeenth-century historiography. Yet, his work has often been reduced by historians of historiography to simple caricature, in which his personal politics and his denominational allegiances got the better of his worthy empiricism. Nixon’s book seeks to challenge this inadequate view, by locating his writings within a wide range of literary and philosophical milieux, British and continental European. It suggests new ways of looking at Victorian historiography in general.MARK NIxON is an independent scholar and museum curator.£50.00/$90.00(s) February 2011 978 0 86193 310 5 220pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB Royal Historical Society Studies in History New Series Royal Historical Society

And in the period thereafter – the years between 1511 and 1989, the period covered by the present volume – St John’s has continued to provide its fair share of Prime Ministers and other politicians, bishops, Nobel laureates, artists, writers, and sporting heroes, as well as to irrigate the rich loam of the nation’s history in all sorts of other unexpected ways and places.

Liberalism and Local Government in Early Victorian LondonBENJAMIN WEINSTEIN

An exploration of the conflict between Whig politicians and London radicals in metropolitan government.This book shows Whiggery to have been an especially potent force in the early Victorian capital where continual conflict between Whigs and radicals gave the metropolitan constituencies a singularly contested and particularly vibrant liberal political culture. Metropolitan radicals active in local governing structures began to espouse an anti-Whig programme. It drove metropolitan radicalism away from its earlier associations and towards a retrenchment-obsessed and anti-aristocratic liberalism.BEN WEINSTEIN is assistant professor of history at Central Michigan University.£50.00/$90.00(s) October 2011 978 0 86193 312 9 256pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB Royal Historical Society Studies in History New Series Royal Historical Society

He served in three wars, and, in a Parliamentary career lasting from 1906-1943, first with the Liberals, and then with Labour, he fought to uphold personal liberty and to limit the power of the state. Instead of collectivism, Wedgwood advocated a Radical vision of Victorian Individualism.

The first book to offer a complete story of the extraordinary proliferation of Dutch clandestine literature under the Nazi occupation.Clandestine literature was published in all Nazi-occupied countries, but nowhere else did it flourish as it did in the Netherlands. This raises important questions: What was the content of this literature? What were the risks of writing, printing, selling, and buying it? And why the Netherlands?

Archaeology, Cultural Property, and the MilitaryEdited by LAURIE RUSH

Timely essays examine the damage recent conflict has caused to cultural heritage, and how it may best be safeguarded in future.From Lawrence of Arabia to the Monuments Men to the contributors within this volume, academic scholars have found themselves engaged in conflict areas, in topics involving conflict, and in unlikely partnerships with military professionals. Drawing on major contributions from seven armed forces, amongst others, this book aims to set out the obligations to protect cultural heritage under international Conventions; provide a series of case studies of current military practice; and outline the current efforts to enhance this. Overall, it offers examples, anecdotes, and lessons learned that can be used for consideration in planning future efforts for global archaeological stewardship.CONTRIBUTORS: Patty Gerstenblith, Krysia Spirydowicz, Julian Radcliffe, Corine Wegener, Joris Kila, Martin Brown, James Zeidler, Laurie Rush, Paul R.

Examines the ethical dilemma of whether, and how, archaeologists and other experts should work with the military to protect cultural property in times of conflict.These essays provide an historical background to the ethical issues facing cultural heritage experts. How do medical and religious experts justify their close working relationships with the military? Is all contact with those engaged in conflict wrong? Does working with the military really constitute tacit agreement with military and political goals, or can it be seen as contributing to the winning of a peace rather than success in war? Are guidelines required to help define roles and responsibilities? The book opens and addresses these and other questions as matters of crucial debate.CONTRIBUTORS: Peter Stone, Margaret M.

Generational Shifts in Contemporary German CultureEdited by LAUREL COHEN-PFISTER & SUSANNE VEES-GULANI

The concept of the generation in today’s German culture and literature, and its role in German identity.In the debates since 1945 on German history and culture, the concept of generations has become ever more prominent. Recent and ongoing shifts in how the various generations are seen in relation to history and to each other have taken on key importance in German cultural studies. The seismic events of twentieth-century German history are no longer solely first-generational lived experiences but historical moments seen through the eyes of successor generations. Generations are thus a key to major shifts in German identity; this volume applies current discourse on the topic to contemporary works dealing with major sociohistorical events since the Nazi period.CONTRIBUTORS: Svea Bräunert, Laurel Cohen-Pfister, Friederike Eigler, Thomas C.

The legacy of the German Democratic Republic occupies a major role in popular culture and politics, while many former citizens of the GDR are still trying to work through their experience of the regime and adjust to unification. Competing representations of the East German state have emerged, some underlining its repressive nature, others lamenting the loss of a sense of community.

Despite a spotlight on national health care reform, communities ultimately determine whether health care in America is available, efficient, and effective. One community, Rochester, New York, was much lauded for a uniquely successful hospital experimental program during the 1980s; a decade later, the experiment was terminated.

Revelation Restored: The Apocalypse in Later Seventeenth-Century EnglandWARREN JOHNSTON

An analysis of the nature of apocalyptic and millennial beliefs that reveals concerns prominent in England in the early seventeenth century had not abated after 1660.Far from having disappeared from the intellectual landscape, apocalyptic ideas still held the potential to animate opinions in the mainstream of political debate in the later seventeenth century. These responses were outlets both for demonstrations of dissent and for endorsements of authorized powers in response to crises in authority and efforts at religious settlement. In addition, this book contends that any strict periodization that segregates the concerns of early seventeenth-century England from those of the later seventeenth century has been too sharply drawn.

Bishop Herbert Vaughan and the JesuitsEducation and AuthorityEdited by MARTIN JOHN BROADLEY

First published edition of documents and letters from a highly-significant incident within the nineteenth-century Catholic church.The row between Bishop Herbert Vaughan of Salford and the Jesuits became a cause celebre in the 1870s and was only settled eventually in Rome after the personal intervention of the pope. While the immediate issue was the provision of secondary education, at stake were key questions of authority that had troubled the English Catholic community for centuries; the solution played a major part in determining the relationship between the newly restored bishops and the Religious Orders. This volume brings together for the first time all the relevant English and foreign archival sources and enables the reader to take a balanced view of the whole issue.£45.00/$80.00(s) September 2010 978 0 90283 225 1 4 b/w illus.; 286pp, 21.6 x 13.8, HB Catholic Record Society: Records Series Catholic Record Society

Conscience, Consciousness and Ethics in Joseph Butler’s Philosophy and MinistryB OB TENNANT

Offers a new interpretation of Butler’s theology and suggests that exploration of his methods may contribute to modern thinking about ethics, language, the Church as well as religion and science. Joseph Butler (1692-1752) was one of the eighteenth century’s most important theologians. He exercised a profound influence over the contemporary Protestant Churches, the English moralists and the Scottish philosophical school but his theory of the “affections”, grounded in Newtonian metaphysics and presenting an account of human psychology, also set the terms of engagement with questions of education, slavery, missions and even labour relations. This book is a critical biography of Butler, arguing that Butler’s life was above all a Christian ministry. It is based on a comprehensive reassessment of his published work and of the surviving manuscripts and archival materials. BOB TENNANT taught English Literature at the University of Sussex, and spent many years as a senior manager in adult education. £60.00/$99.00(s) April 2011 978 1 84383 612 4 260pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB Studies in Modern British Religious History

Ely: Bishops and Diocese, 1109-2009Edited by PETER MEAD OWS

Despite its size, Ely has always been one of the most wealthy and important dioceses in the country. Until the nineteenth century Ely was one of the wealthiest dioceses in the country, and in every century there were notable appointments to the bishopric. Few of the bishops were promoted elsewhere; for most it was the culmination of their career, and many had made significant contributions, both to national life and to scholarship, before their preferment to Ely.In essays each spanning about a century, experts in the field explore the lives and careers of its bishops, and their families and social contacts, examine their impact on the diocese, and their role in the wider Church in England. Other chapters consider such areas as the estates, the residences, the works of art and the library and archives. Overall, they chart the remarkable development over nine hundred years of one of the smallest, richest and youngest of the traditional dioceses of England.£29.95/$50.00(s) November 2010 978 1 84383 540 0 16 colour & 32 b/w illus.; 406pp, 24.6 x 18.9, HB

A History of the Mothers’ UnionWomen, Anglicanism and Globalisation, 1876-2008CORDELIA MOYSE

One of the most significant works on Anglican and Women’s history to be published in recent years. Ordinary women became active in the Mothers’ Union long before women had the vote or could be ordained priests. 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. Includes a foreword by the Archbishop of Canterbury.This important book is in some sense an untold history of the Anglican Communion itself, charting the globalization and development of Anglican faith and cultures.

The reports of the surveyors of Westminster Abbey in the nineteenth century provide a treasure trove of information.The Surveyors, Edward Blore, George Gilbert Scott and his son J. O. Scott, J. L. Pearson and J. T. Micklethwaite, wrote an annual report describing their activities, and these are the core of the volume, supplemented with letters and other papers.

Modern Spiritualism and the Church of England, 1850-1939GEORGINA A. BYRNE

Shows how some of the ideas about the afterlife presented by spiritualism helped to shape popular Christianity in the period.This book examines what happened when the Church of England met with the phenomenon of modern spiritualism. It charts the way that the theology of the afterlife changed in the Church between 1850 and 1939. The period saw a gradual liberalising of theology regarding the nature of heaven and hell and the punishment of the wicked. Some of the ideas about the afterlife presented by spiritualism explicitly influenced the thinking of some Anglican clergy.GEORGINA BYRNE is an ordained Anglican priest and currently Director of Ordinands for the Diocese of Worcester and a Residentiary Canon at Worcester Cathedral.£55.00/$95.00(s) October 2010 978 1 84383 589 9 268pp, 23 x 15.6, HB Studies in Modern British Religious History

Germany’s Genocide of the HereroKaiser Wilhelm II, His General, His Settlers, His SoldiersJEREMY SARKIN

This study recounts the reasons why the order for the Herero genocide was very likely issued by the Kaiser himself, and why proof of this has not emerged before now.In 1904, the indigenous Herero people of German South West Africa (now Namibia) rebelled against their German occupiers. In the following four years, the German army retaliated, killing between 60,000 and 100,000 Herero people, one of the worst atrocities ever. While questions relating to human rights are very much in the news, genocides in Africa, especially those that occurred during colonial times, are understudied. The history of the Herero genocide has been examined by very few writers and almost no-one from Africa. Sarkin’s book deals with the issues from an entirely different point of view, provides new information not included in the existing literature, and proposes understandings from an alternative position.JEREMY SARKIN is Chairperson-Rapporteur of the United Nations Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, and is at present Distinguished Visiting Professor of Law at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York.£45.00/$80.00(s) March 2011 978 1 84701 032 2 288pp, 22.8 x 15.2, HB

African Police and Soldiers in Colonial Zimbabwe, 1923-80TIMOTHY STAPLETON

A look at the ambiguous experience of black security force personnel in white minority ruled colonial Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).Making use of archival documents, period newspapers, and oral interviews, African Police and Soldiers in Colonial Zimbabwe examines the ambiguous experience of black security personnel, police, and soldiers in white-ruled Southern Rhodesia from 1923 through independence and majority rule in 1980. Across the continent, European colonial rule could not have been maintained without African participation in the police and army. In Southern Rhodesia, lack of white manpower meant that despite fear of mutiny, blacks played an increasingly prominent role in law enforcement and military operations, and from World War II constituted a strong majority within the regular security forces.TIMOTHY STAPLETON is professor of history at Trent University in Ontario.£50.00/$90.00(s) June 2011 978 1 58046 380 5 23 b/w illus.; 318pp, 9 x 6in, HB Rochester Studies in African History and the Diaspora

Zimbabwe’s Land ReformMyths and RealitiesIAN SCO ONES et al

Challenges the commonly held myths about Zimbabwe’s land reform.Based on detailed empirical research over much of the decade since 2000 by Ian Scoones and co-authors Nelson Marongwe, Blasio Mavedzenge, Jacob Mahenehene, Felix Murimbarimba and Chrispen Sukume, this book explores the story of what happened in the context of the southern Zimbabwe province of Masvingo, where land was transferred to over 20,000 households, amounting to around 1.2m hectares. What comes through very strongly is the complexity, the differences, almost farm by farm; there is no single, simple story of the Zimbabwe land reform as sometimes assumed by press reports or political commentators or indeed much academic study.IAN SCOONES is Professorial Fellow at the Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex.£16.99/$29.95 November 2010 978 1 84701 024 7 304pp, 21.6 x 13.8, PB African Issues

War Veterans in Zimbabwe’s RevolutionChallenging neo-colonialism and settler and international capitalZVAKANYORWA WILBERT SAD OMBA

Written by a critically positioned participant in Zimbabwe’s political history, this book covers more than a generation of eyewitness account and scholarly analysis by a war veteran academic and activist.This book traces the roots of Zimbabwe’s well known, but little analysed, revolution of 2000 to the 1970s guerrilla war, revealing the foundational philosophies, cosmologies and experiences that are manifest in the War Veterans-led revolution. It is a bold account of an ongoing bottom-up struggle against neo-colonialism, settler economy and international capital, and it traces the unfolding events of Zimbabwe’s war of liberation, revealing little-known facts that help to explain the complexity of current politics, ideology and class conflicts. Based on grounded empirical research this scholarly analysis differs significantly from the standard journalistic accounts of this topic. The book illustrates that the popular land occupations of 2000 were part of a much wider current under the surface that reconfigured industry, mining, finance, commerce and trade. War Veterans led a revolution that challenged the state, ruling ZANU PF, the MDC, President Robert Mugabe, settler and international capital.

Circular Migration in Zimbabwe and Contemporary Sub-Saharan AfricaDEB ORAH POT TS

The World Bank insists that the urban share of sub-Saharan Africa’s population is rapidly increasing - this study shows that in many countries this is no longer true as migration strategies have adapted in response to economic and political change.Urban livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa have become very fragile. Using Zimbabwe as a case study, this book shows that political and economic changes since the 1980s transformed Harare from one of the best African cities to live in to one of the worst over this period. Its citizens’ livelihoods exemplify, in microcosm, the central theme of the book: the re-invention throughout sub-saharan Africa of circulation and rural-urban links in response to economic change.DEBORAH POTTS is a Senior Lecturer in the Geography Department of King’s College London.£50.00/$90.00(s) November 2010 978 1 84701 023 0 4 b/w illus.; 312pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB

Domesticating Vigilantism in AfricaEdited by THOMAS G. KIRSCH & TILO GRÄTZ

An unprecedented overview of anthropological and political science research on vigilantism in Africa.Self-justice and legal self-help groups have been gaining importance throughout Africa. The question of who is entitled to formulate ‘legal principles’, enact ‘justice’, police ‘morality’ and sanction ‘wrongdoings’ has increasingly become a subject of controversy and conflict. These conflicts focus on the strained relationship between state sovereignty and citizens’ self-determination. More particularly, they concern the conditions, modes and means of the legitimate execution of power, and in this volume are seen as a diagnostics as to how social actors in Africa debate and practise socio-political order.£40.00/$70.00(s) November 2010 978 1 84701 028 5 2 b/w illus.; 190pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB

Nigeria, Nationalism, and Writing HistoryTOYIN FALOLA & SAHEED ADERINTO

The book traces the history of writing about Nigeria since the nineteenth century. In spite of current problems in Nigeria and its universities, that historical scholarship on Nigeria (and by extension, Africa) has come of age is indisputable. From a country that struggled for Western academic recognition in the 1950s to one that by the 1980s had emerged as one of the most studied countries in Africa, Nigeria is not only one of the early birthplaces of modern African history, but has also produced members of the first generation of African historians whose contributions to the development and expansion of modern African history is undeniable. Like their counterparts working on other parts of the world, these scholars have been sensitive to the need to explore virtually all aspects of Nigerian history. The book highlights the careers of some of Nigeria’s notable historians of the first and second generation.TOYIN FALOLA is Frances Higginbotham Nalle Centennial Professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin.

Literary Adaptations in Black American CinemaExpanded EditionBARBARA TEPA LUPACK

A comprehensive analysis of the ways in which the black American experience has been depicted in film adaptations of popular literature.From the earliest days of cinema, filmmakers have looked to literature as the basis for their productions. This historical examination of the practice of such adaptation offers telling insights into the portrayal – and progress – of blacks in American movies and culture. It reveals that while blacks, on screen and behind the scenes, were often forced to re-create demeaning film stereotypes, they learned how to subvert and exploit the artificiality of their caricatures.

The British Naval Staff in the First World WarNICHOLAS BLACK

Reassesses the role of the British Naval Staff during the First World War. Nicholas Black examines the role of the Naval Staff of the Admiralty in the 1914-18 war, reassessing its calibre, function and structure. He challenges historians and naval figures who were influential in creating the largely bad press that the Staff had subsequently received. The roles of key individuals such as Jellicoe and Geddes are reassessed, suggesting that the Staff was a rather more sophisticated body than historians have traditionally appreciated. Black also looks at how the Staff performed in various major naval issues of the war: the role of the Grand Fleet, the war against the U-boat, the Dardanelles Operation and the implementation of the economic blockade against Germany. The book at times challenges operational histories of the war and biographies of the leading individuals involved.NICHOLAS BLACK is Head of History at Dulwich College.Winner of the Society for Nautical Research’s Anderson Medal 2010This is a fine piece of scholarship, recommended especially to those who focus on operational history to the exclusion of policy, planning, implementation, and logistics.

The Keelmen of TynesideLabour Organisation and Conflict in the North-East Coal Industry, 1600-1830JOSEPH M. FEWSTER

A comprehensive account of the everyday lives of the keelmen of Tyneside, and their struggles and industrial disputes.For hundreds of years the keelmen of Tyneside ferried coal down-river to the estuary and cast it aboard ships bound for London or overseas. They were ‘the very sinews of the coal trade’ on which the prosperity of the region depended. This book charts their history from the early seventeenth century to the point where technological advances made them redundant in the course of the nineteenth. It describes how the importance of their work placed them in a strong position in industrial disputes, especially since they could shut off the coal supply to London. It examines their numerous turbulent battles with rapacious employers and unsympathetic magistrates, their struggles against poverty and eventually against redundancy, and their attempts to gain redress in Parliament and in the law courts. The book will be of interest to social and economic historians, labour historians, maritime historians and all interested in the history of the North East.JOSEPH M. FEWSTER was, until his retirement in 1997, Senior Assistant Keeper in Durham University Library.£60.00/$99.00(s) June 2011 978 1 84383 632 2 4 b/w illus.; 232pp, HB Regions and Regionalism in History

The Naval Mutinies of 1797Unity and PerseveranceEdited by ANN COATS & PHILIP MACD OUGALL

A reassessment of the naval mutinies of 1797, arguing that the mutinies were more industrial dispute than expression of French revolution-inspired political radicalism.The book shows how the mutinies in the main fleets anchored at Spithead (off Portsmouth) and at the Nore (in the Thames estuary), and in smaller units elsewhere, were really a plea, which turned out to be successful, for better pay and conditions, and less harsh discipline. This in turn thereby helped secure sailors’ loyalty and commitment, which were key factors in making possible Britain’s subsequent naval victories in the war with France.CONTRIBUTORS: Ann Coats, Christopher Doorne, Brian Lavery, David W.
