Honour, Interest and Power
An Illustrated History of the
House of Lords, 1660-1715
Edited by RU T H PA L EY & PAU L SE AWA R D,
with BEV E R LY A DA M S , ROBI N E AG L E S ,
CHA R L E S L I T T L ETON
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.

Making Words Flesh
WILL IA M C . LU BE NOW
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.

Fighting for Britain
African Soldiers in the Second World War
DAV I D K I L L I NG R AY with M A RT I N PL AU T
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.

Revolution’. A county MP, owner of one of
the finest palladian mansions in Britain, and
moving in the highest Whig circles, Coke was an
outspoken critic of Britain’s war against America
over independence. This biography presents him
as one of a few landed grandees holding major
influence during a period of political turbulence

The Letters of Samuel Pepys
Edited by G U Y DE L A BÉ D OY È R E
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

England and the 1641
Irish Rebellion
JO SE PH C OPE
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.

Bailiwick Magistrates and Local
Governance in Normandy, 1670-1740
Z OË A . S C H N E I DE R
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.

Edited by M A R K G OL DI E
First edition of an eye-witness account of
seventeenth-century England – the dark side

This remarkable chronicle of public affairs
has remained for nearly three centuries in Dr
Williams’s Library, London. The Entring Book’s
enormous scope covers publishing, plays,
business, military and religious matters, foreign
affairs, public opinion and London life. Through
it we can trace the transformation of puritanism
into Whiggery and Dissent. This seven volume set
includes an introductory and an index volume as
well as a biographical encyclopaedia of names.
The standard of editing throughout is stunningly
impressive. This is a remarkable scholarly edition
which has been worth waiting for and the well-
integrated editorial team, the publishers and Dr
Williams’s Library can be justifiably proud of the
result.

DA R RY L DE E
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.
Louis XIV presided over France’s last great burst
of territorial expansion in Europe. After 1688,
however, the king and his people endured wars
against grand alliances of European powers,
ecological disasters, economic depression,
state bankruptcy, and demographic stagnation.
Expansion and Crisis in Louis XIV’s France
examines the age of the Sun King through the
experience of Franche-Comté, a possession of the
Spanish empire with a long history of autonomy,
conquered by Louis XIV in 1674.

the many ways in which the political, religious,

writings of both Irish historians and historians
of Ireland. History was re-evaluated in order to
respond to anxieties over identity, nationhood and

The Dying and the Doctors
The Medical Revolution in

IA N MORT I M E R
A survey of the changes in medical care for
those approaching death in the early modern
period.
It is the profound revolution from the age of
astrological medicine to the emergence of the
general practitioner that this book charts, as
hopes for physical survival shifted from God
to the doctor. Drawing on numerous probate
accounts, massive increases in the consumption of
medicines and medical advice are identified. The
book examines the role of the towns in providing
medical services, extending ranges of medical
care, and a revolution in community nursing.

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.

The Indo-German Identification
Reconciling South Asian Origins and
European Destinies, 1765-1885
ROBE RT C OWA N
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.

Explores the impact of modernization on
treatment of the dead body in late-nineteenth

intense social and cultural change transformed an
agricultural society to a modern industrial state.
Focusing on medical research and education,
displays of the dead body for entertainment

contributes to scholarship on the history of
death during a period when modernization was
exceptionally rapid and gave rise to interesting

Publishing Culture and

German Book History in the
Long Nineteenth Century
Edited by LY N N E TAT LO C K
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.

Before the war, it actively attempted to establish
ideological links between socialism, radicalism
and liberalism. After the war, however, it’s foreign

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.

T ROY R . E . PA DD O C K
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.”

The Many Faces of

Edited by C H R I ST IA N RO G OWSK I
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.

Views adaptations as a way in which

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.

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.

Metamorphoses of the Vampire

Cultural Transformations
in Europe, 1732-1933
E R I K BU T L E R
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.

The Scourge of Demons
Possession, Lust, and Witchcraft in a
Seventeenth-Century Italian Convent
J E F F R EY 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,

God’s Bounty?
The Churches and the Natural World
Edited by PET E R C L A R K E &
TON Y C L AY D 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.

The Church of England in
the Twentieth Century
The Church Commissioners and
the Politics of Reform, 1948-1998
A N DR EW C HA N DL E R
Unique account of the affairs of the Church
of England during a period of colossal change
and controversy.
This is the first comprehensive study of the
Church of England in the second half of the
twentieth century when it was faced with the need
for reform as society became more secularised and
multi-cultural. It portrays the work of archbishops
and bishops and tackles the controversial
questions raised by financial matters and property
administration. Issues about the role of the
Church and the nature of its relationship with the
state are also addressed.
ANDREW CHANDLER is Director of the George
Bell Institute, Birmingham, and Honorary

A beautifully written, elegantly constructed
narrative sensitively describing the dedicated
attempts of generations of bureaucrats to tackle a
bewilderingly complex task in a liberal and humane
manner.
A RC H I VES
In its lucid organization and patient engagement
with detail, the book deserves comparison with the

A History of the Mothers’ Union
Women, Anglicanism and
Globalisation, 1876-2008
C OR DE L IA MOYSE
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.

National Religion
and the Prayer Book
Controversy, 1927-1928
JOH N M A I DE N
This study provides new insights into the
history of Anglicanism, Nonconformity and
ideas of English and British identity between
the two world wars.
The Prayer Book controversy of 1927-8 was a
significant event in the religious and political life
of interwar Britain and a defining moment in
the modern history of the Church of England.
Ideas of Protestant national identity clashed with
liberal Anglican and moderate Anglo-Catholic
conceptions of Church and nation. The resilience
of an anti-Catholic mindset meant that the nature
of the relationship between religion and nation
was hotly contested.

HISTORY OF R ELIGION
The Problem of Pleasure
Sport, Recreation and the Crisis
of Victorian Religion
D OM I N IC E R D O Z A I N
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.

Identity Economics
Social Networks and the Informal
Economy in Nigeria
KAT E M EAG H E R
An essential read for those interested in the
role of the informal economy in contemporary
processes of growth and economic governance
in Africa.
Identity Economics traces the rise of two
dynamic informal enterprise clusters in Nigeria,
and explores their slide into trajectories of
Pentecostalism, poverty and violent vigilantism.
Drawing on over twenty years of empirical
research on African informal economies, the
author highlights the institutional legacies,
networking strategies and globalizing dynamics
that shape the regulatory role of social networks in
Africa’s largest and most turbulent economy.

T HOM AS V. M C C L E N D 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 Nigeria
A N DR EW E . BA R N E S
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.

Africans and the Politics
of Popular Culture
Edited by TOY I N FA LOL A &
AU G U ST I N E AG W U E L E
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.

Historical and nuanced representations of war

Africa’s wars of the latter half of the nineteenth
century seem to have defined and reinforced the
myth of barbarism: in Nigeria, Rwanda, Somalia,
Sierra Leone, Uganda, Kenya, Mozambique,
South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Sudan. This
volume addresses the reductive and stereotypical
assumptions of postcolonial violence as “tribal”
in nature, and offers instead various perspectives
to foster a more contextualized understanding of

in the south, and its trade with Spain’s American
empire; and Bilbao in the north, and its trade
with western and northern Europe. Drawing on
a broad range of Spanish, Peruvian and British
sources, the book explores processes of trade,

the YMCA with the British army in France, Belgium
and occupied Germany, 1915-1919. Barclay Baron,
the author of these memoirs and letters, was a
committed Anglican layman dedicated to the cause
of Christian social work. Baron’s writings show
that through the YMCA the churches provided a
ubiquitous, unstinting and even heroic service to the
British soldier in World War I.
Tells the fascinating story of the heroic work of the
YMCA during the First World War.

Building a Railway:
Bourne to Saxby
Edited by ST EWA RT S QU I R E S &
K E N HOL L A M B Y
Nineteenth-century photographs bring the
building of a Lincolnshire railway vividly to life.
Charles Stansfield Wilson was the engineer who
supervised the civil works on the railway line from
Saxby to Bourne. A keen photographer, he took
a series of photographs during the construction
phase, 1890-93. Photographs of the construction
of a railway in Victorian England are extremely
rare. This volume presents a selection of these
illustrations, accompanied by extensive captions
that tell the story of the construction, and detail
the work of men and machines involved.
