2 History of Britain after 1450

An Everyday Life of the English Working ClassWork, Self and Sociability in the Early Nineteenth CenturyCarolyn SteedmanUniversity of Warwick

A unique and fascinating account of English working-class life at the turn of the nineteenth century. Through Joseph Woolley and his thoughts on reading and drinking, sex, the law and social relations, leading historian Carolyn Steedman challenges traditional views of how the working man understood himself and society around him.

‘A welcome addition to Carolyn Steedman’s impressive body of work. As ever enlivened by the author’s distinctive voice, this thought-provoking account continues her critical dialogue with classic ways of imagining the history of the English working class during the early industrial era.’Joanna Innes, University of Oxford

The Material Culture of the JacobitesNeil Guthrie

An original and thought-provoking study of the material objects produced, acquired and treasured by those who worked for the restoration of the Stuart monarchy, or at least felt strong nostalgia for its passing, in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

‘Neil Guthrie presents an impressive range of subject matter and a wealth of learning in this original, erudite, and perceptive book. He is not only well-versed in eighteenth-century history and literature, but also knows the relevant fields of law – necessary for an understanding of the limited room for manoeuvre available to Jacobites – and Latinity, the medium for so many tags, allusions and inscriptions in Jacobite literature.’Colin Kidd, University of Glasgow

The Stationers’ Company and the Printers of London, 1501–1557Peter W. M. Blayney

This major, revisionist reference work explains for the first time how the Stationers’ Company acquired both a charter and a nationwide monopoly of printing. In the most detailed and comprehensive investigation of the London book trade in any period, Peter Blayney systematically documents the story from 1501, when printing first established permanent roots inside the City boundaries, until the Stationers’ Company was incorporated by royal charter in 1557. Having exhaustively re-examined original sources and scoured numerous archives unexplored by others in the field, Blayney radically revises accepted beliefs about such matters as the scale of native production versus importation, privileges and patents, and the regulation of printing by the Church, Crown and City. His persistent focus on individuals – most notably the families, rivals and successors of Richard Pynson, John Rastell and Robert Redman – keeps this study firmly grounded in the vivid lives and careers of early Tudor Londoners.

‘Blayney’s book is quite an extraordinary feat of scholarship. Any future writing about this period by book historians, bibliographers, students of censorship and of press control, and literary or textual scholars will have to use his book as a starting point.’John Barnard, University of Leeds

Clothing the Poor in Nineteenth-Century EnglandVivienne RichmondGoldsmiths, University of London

In this pioneering study Vivienne Richmond reveals the importance of dress to the nineteenth-century English poor, who valued clothing not only for its practical utility, but also as a central element in the creation and assertion of collective and individual identities.

‘Vivienne Richmond demonstrates the power of clothing in the lives of the working and indigent poor of nineteenth-century England: children, women and men. This is an innovative exploration of clothing cultures, both those crafted by individuals and those imposed by state and institutional authorities. Subtle and insightful, Richmond brings new perspectives to this important topic.’Beverly Lemire, University of Alberta

Irish Nationalist Women, 1900–1918Senia PašetaUniversity of Oxford

This is a major new history of the experiences and activities of Irish nationalist women in the early twentieth century. Using memoirs, reminiscences, letters and diaries, Senia Paseta reveals how Irish women formed nationalist, cultural and feminist groups of their own

as well as how they influenced broader political developments.

‘Based on extensive archival research, Irish Nationalist Women, 1900–1918 effectively reassesses the significance and diversity of female constitutional and radical nationalism. Set against the backdrop of one of the most pivotal periods in Ireland’s modern history, it provides new insights into women’s politicking before they possessed the right to vote and stand as MPs.’Diane Urquhart, University of Liverpool

Enoch Powell and the Making of Postcolonial BritainCamilla SchofieldUniversity of East Anglia

In this radically revisionist reading of the life and political career of Enoch Powell, Camilla Schofield shows how Powell and his supporters illuminate the complex relationship between British social democracy, racism and the domestic politics of imperial decline in post-war Britain.

‘Just when one thinks Enoch Powell lies dead and buried, like a traumatic memory back he comes, hitting the headlines and vibrating across the airwaves. In poised, incisive prose Camilla Schofield explains why this is so. Drawing on exemplary research she places Powell back in the history which made him.’Bill Schwarz, Queen Mary, University of London

Gender and Race in Antebellum Popular CultureSarah N. RothWidener University, Pennsylvania

In the decades leading to the Civil War, popular conceptions of African American men shifted dramatically from the savage slave of 1830s’ novels to the less-threatening humble black martyr of the 1850s. This book looks at how white women, as creators and consumers of popular culture media, played a pivotal role in this demasculinization of black men during the antebellum period.2014 228 x 152 mm 288pp 14 b/w illus. 978-1-107-04368-8 Hardback c. £65.00 Publication July 2014

to make Cuba, Mexico, and Central America into new slave states.

‘It is a truism that the issue of slavery’s expansion triggered secession and the Civil War. But as Robert May shows in this important study, it was the possible expansion of slavery southward more than the prospect of slavery in Kansas or other Western territories that provoked passionate controversy. This welcome book gives due weight to pro-Cuban annexationists and Central-American filibusters in the coming of war.’James M. McPherson, Princeton University

The Many Panics of 1837People, Politics, and the Creation of a Transatlantic Financial CrisisJessica M. LeplerUniversity of New Hampshire

This riveting transatlantic cultural history, based on archival research on two continents, reveals how people transformed their experiences of financial crisis into the ‘Panic of 1837’, a single event that would serve as a turning point in American history and an early inspiration for business cycle theory.

‘Finally a historian who understands that panics were caused by people panicking … This masterful telling of a complex tale – Dickensian in its intricacy – walks the reader through a series of moments in which individuals had no choice but to take a position that more often than not guaranteed the frightening outcome they sought to avoid. By rejecting the naturalization of economic theory, Jessica Lepler has vividly captured the world as it must have looked to the governors of the Bank of England, to the bill brokers and cotton factors of New Orleans, to Nicholas Biddle and poor old Philip Hone. The brutal market ‘corrections’ of 1837 (and after) stood as the defining events of the lives of this generation of Americans.’John Lauritz Larson, Purdue University

The Cambridge Companion to American MethodismEdited by Jason E. VickersUnited Theological Seminary, Ohio

This Cambridge Companion offers a comprehensive introduction to various forms of American Methodism. Written from various disciplinary perspectives, this volume explores the beliefs and practices around which the lives of American Methodist churches have revolved, as well as the ways in which Methodism has both adapted to and shaped American culture.

‘Through wise selection of themes, and broad recruitment of contributors, Vickers has produced the best single-volume introduction available to the family of Methodist churches in North America. The volume traces both the growth of the movement transplanted from England and its proliferation into multiple strands – ranging from the earliest distinct African-American churches, through the Holiness-focused churches, and beyond.

Family, Law, and Inheritance in AmericaA Social and Legal History of Nineteenth-Century KentuckyYvonne PittsPurdue University, Indiana

Explores nineteenth-century inheritance practices by focusing on testamentary capacity trials in Kentucky in which disinherited family members challenged relatives’ wills, claiming the testator lacked the capacity required to write a valid will. By anchoring the study in the history of local communities and the texts of elite jurists, Pitts demonstrates that ‘capacity’ was a term laden with legal meaning and competing communal values.

‘In the skilful hands of Yvonne Pitts, the law of inheritance becomes a lens through which to consider broader discussions over the fraught relationships among individuals, their families, their communities, and the shape of American society more generally in the nineteenth century. Highly readable and deeply researched, the book highlights the contingencies of social change in this period as people grappled with the implications of emancipation, economic change, and the changing role of women. It also recasts our understanding of people’s relationship to the law, showing how the emotions that drove family conflicts had as much to do in defining the law as the law did in resolving their all-too-human disputes.’Laura F.

Advance praise: ‘Kathleen Hilliard has written an extraordinary book. In it, she breaks new ground in her investigation of black and white relationships in the antebellum South, and on the internal slave economy, illicit trade, and consumerism. The book is grounded in the careful exploration of excellent sources, especially archival primary materials. There is no question that this book is going to shake up slavery studies drastically. Although the internal economy of slavery has been studied for nearly thirty years now, we’ve never had a study like this.’Orville Vernon Burton, Creativity Professor of Humanities, Clemson University, and Emeritus University Distinguished Teacher/Scholar, University of Illinois

Chiefdoms, Collapse, and Coalescence in the Early American SouthRobin BeckUniversity of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Foreword by Charles M. HudsonUniversity of Georgia

Robin Beck uses a range of archaeological and documentary evidence to offer a new perspective on how Indian nations in the early American South rebuilt their political and social organizations from the ruins of the precolonial world. It is the first book to explain how and why this transformation unfolded in the specific way that it did.

‘Beck not only opens up the Mississippian world of the sixteenth century but also the various historical forces that worked to transform that world during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. He writes with clarity, confidence, and authority and, without losing any of the power of the evidence or theory, he is careful to explain professional archaeological

concepts for non-specialists. It is as fine a piece of scholarship as any I have ever seen.’Robbie Ethridge, University of Mississippi

Politicians and bureaucrats claim credit for the federal government’s successes in preparing for and responding to disaster, and they are also blamed for failures outside of government’s control. Despite the rhetoric, however, the federal government’s increasingly bold claims and heightened public expectations are disproportionate to the ability of the federal government to prevent or reduce the damage caused by disaster.2013 234 x 156 mm 240pp 17 b/w illus. 978-1-107-02586-8 Hardback £55.00

Rethinking the 1950sHow Anticommunism and the Cold War Made America LiberalJennifer A. DeltonSkidmore College, New York

Jennifer A. Delton argues that, far from subverting the New Deal state, anticommunism and the Cold War enabled, fulfilled, and even surpassed the New Deal’s reform agenda. Anticommunism solidified liberal political power and the Cold War justified liberal goals such as job creation, corporate regulation, economic redevelopment, and civil rights.

‘With this genuinely original, important, and provocative book, Jennifer Delton takes on the prevailing wisdom about the eclipse of the New Deal, the decline of liberalism, and the role of conservatism in the postwar era. The conservative 1950s were less conservative than we think, and liberalism proved more of a driving force than the dominant narratives would have us believe. Where many scholars hold the Cold War and anticommunism responsible for the smothering of dissent, she finds in both a critical rationale for domestic social reform. In challenging the consensus view on a variety of fronts, Delton forces us to think very differently about the postwar era.’Eric Arnesen, George Washington University

When Hollywood Was RightHow Movie Stars, Studio Moguls, and Big Business Remade American PoliticsDonald T. CritchlowArizona State University

Hollywood was not always a bastion of liberalism. Following World War II, an informal alliance of movie stars, studio moguls and Southern California business interests formed to revitalize a factionalized Republican Party. Coming together were stars such as John Wayne, Robert Taylor, George Murphy and many others, who joined studio heads Cecil B. DeMille, Louis B. Mayer, Walt Disney and Jack Warner to rebuild the Republican Party. They found support among a large group of business leaders who poured money and skills into this effort, which paid off with the election of George Murphy to the US Senate and of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan to the highest office in the nation. This is an exciting

story based on extensive new research that will forever change how we think of Hollywood politics.

‘When Hollywood Was Right offers a lesson for today of how an embattled, factionalized Republican Party came together to elect a principled and pragmatic conservative, Ronald Reagan, to the presidency. Plus this is a damn good read.’Barry Goldwater, Jr, former United States Congressman

American Labor and Economic CitizenshipNew Capitalism from World War I to the Great DepressionMark HendricksonUniversity of California, San Diego

In the 1920s, a diverse group of social investigators and policy makers addressed a range of long-standing and seemingly intractable problems, confident that the period provided a unique moment full of opportunities. Led by Herbert Hoover, the group came to understand that a new, fair and prosperous version of capitalism could be achieved through steady economic growth.

‘Mark Hendrickson has crafted an important narrative that explains how early twentieth-century American business leaders, social scientists, and political activists worked to regulate, stabilize, and strengthen a newly configured national economy. He demonstrates how their efforts were ironically paralleled by the emerging resistance of marginalized and underrepresented groups (women, African Americans, and Mexican Americans) to the worst excesses of an economic system that, while possessed of many virtues, also subsisted on inequality and injustice.’Michael A. Bernstein, Tulane University

The Politics of ProhibitionAmerican Governance and the Prohibition Party, 1869–1933Lisa M. F. AndersenThe Julliard School, New York

This book draws on the history of America’s longest-living minor political party – the Prohibition Party – to illuminate how American politics came to exclude minor parties from governance. It looks at pressure groups and ballot reforms, which created a threshold for organization and maintenance that required extraordinary financial and personal resources from parties lacking in both.

‘Lisa Andersen’s thoughtfully conceived and gracefully executed study adds to a growing body of historical analysis that explains how Americans’ political choices have become ever more restricted, while deliberation over policy has become less common and less inclusive. In addition, she shows why dedicated prohibitionists rejected the Eighteenth Amendment and elucidates the complex relationship between women activists and the first national party to declare for woman suffrage. The Politics of Prohibition draws cogent lessons for Americans today from a skilful anatomy of political failure.’Jack Blocker, Professor Emeritus, University of Western Ontario, and Past President of the Society for Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era

Law’s HistoryAmerican Legal Thought and the Transatlantic Turn to HistoryDavid M. RabbanUniversity of Texas, Austin

This is a study of the central role of history in late nineteenth-century American legal thought. Unprecedented in its coverage and its innovative conclusions about major American legal thinkers from the Civil War to the present, the book combines transatlantic intellectual history, legal history, the history of legal thought, historiography, jurisprudence, constitutional theory and the history of higher education.

‘This is a pioneering study of American historical jurisprudence in the late nineteenth century. It is comprehensive, meticulous, and deeply learned. It is cosmopolitan, placing the Americans among their European predecessors and counterparts. And it is eye-opening: the standard picture of this era’s legal scholars as political reactionaries and abstract deductive ‘formalists’ cannot possibly survive this splendid and important book.’Robert W.

German Immigrants, Race, and Citizenship in the Civil War EraAlison Clark EffordMarquette University, Wisconsin

Alison Clark Efford’s study reframes Civil War-era history, arguing that the commitment of German Americans to African-American rights pivoted dramatically in 1870 in response to the Franco-Prussian War. This influential group re-evaluated the liberal nationalism underpinning African-American suffrage, influencing other white Northerners and shaping citizenship law.

‘A brilliant study in every respect, full of local texture, of importance for the whole story of a key period in US history, and of powerfully rendered transnational crosscurrents. Efford’s deep research establishes the dramatic connection of German Americans to freedom struggles in the 1850s and 1860s and to the retreat from such commitments in the waning of Reconstruction, convincingly connecting both with the changing history of the land that immigrants left.’David Roediger, University of Illinois, and co-author of The Production of Difference (2012)

Reframing the Feudal RevolutionPolitical and Social Transformation Between Marne and Moselle, c.800–c.1100Charles WestUniversity of Sheffield

Looking beyond the notion of a ‘Feudal Revolution’ in Europe between 800 and 1100, this book reveals that the profound socio-economic changes that took place in the transition from Carolingian to post-Carolingian Europe were a continuation of processes unleashed by Carolingian reform, rather than a result of political failure.

Mapping Medieval GeographiesGeographical Encounters in the Latin West and Beyond, 300–1600Edited by Keith LilleyQueen’s University Belfast

Mapping Medieval Geographies explores the connections between geography and cartography during the Middle Ages. Drawing from primary sources, the volume will appeal to historians concerned with visual and textual modes of geographical representation and transmission, as well as the spaces and places of knowledge creation and consumption.

‘In Mapping Medieval Geographies Keith D. Lilley has brought together a broad spectrum of scholars to explore both the medieval engagement with geography as a practice and as a subject of inquiry as well as the imagined geographies of those who inhabited the Latin, Greek, and Arabic worlds of the Middle Ages. These essays are unusual in the respect that they show for the alternate geographies of the Middle Ages even while embedding their analyses within contemporary geographical discourse.’Patrick J.

This is the first comprehensive study of the unprecedented range of writings on warfare and knighthood produced in France during the Hundred Years War. Craig Taylor sets the debates in context, challenging modern, romantic assumptions about chivalry and investigating the complexities of cultural

representations and expectations of aristocratic warriors.

‘Dr Taylor has produced a fascinating and important study, drawing on a very wide range of texts and providing new insights into French responses to the Hundred Years War. That he does this through the prism of chivalry adds substantially to our understanding of what martial culture meant, whether in the dark days of defeat or in the ultimate recovery of national pride.

This volume of Medieval European Coinage, is the first English-language survey to bring the latest research on the coinage of Spain and Portugal c.1000–1500 to an international audience. A major work of reference by leading numismatic experts, the volume provides an authoritative and up-to-date account of the coinages of Aragon, Catalonia, Castile, Léon, Navarre and Portugal, which have rarely been studied together. It considers how money circulated throughout the peninsula, offering new syntheses of the monetary history of the individual kingdoms and includes an extensive catalogue of the Aragonese, Castilian, Catalan, Leonese, Navarrese and Portuguese coins in the collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum. This major contribution to the field will be a valuable point of reference for the

This study aims to update a classic of comparative revolutionary analysis, Crane Brinton’s 1938 study The Anatomy of Revolution. It invokes the latest research and theoretical writing in history, political science and political sociology to compare and contrast the English Revolution of 1640–60, the French Revolution of 1789–99 and the Russian Revolution of 1917–29.

Advance praise: ‘Despite covering an enormous and highly contentious historiography for these revolutions, and covering hundreds of years of history, this book is deft, clear, and a good read. Bailey Stone is particularly good at working with the international, religious/nationalist, and social forces behind every twist and turn of the detailed events. There is nothing else quite like it for telling the story of these three major revolutions in a comparative framework. This is an outstanding book, a worthy sequel to Crane Brinton.’Jack A.

Literature of the HolocaustEdited by Alan Rosen

A comprehensive account of how writers across Europe and America have responded creatively to the Holocaust, from diaries written by those in hiding at the time to attempts to rationalise events in the aftermath to imaginative reappraisals by twenty-first century writers with no direct experience of the events.

‘Literature of the Holocaust is an important work. More than an anthology, it is a comprehensive collection of significant essays by distinguished authors, who provide both an overview and deep insights into Holocaust literature in the major languages of the West ordinarily inaccessible to the English reading world … Moreover, it grapples with major issues in Holocaust literature, such as the use of testimony and song, and the use and misuse of history. Each essay provides a rich survey and entry point for the study of Holocaust literature. I thought I knew Holocaust literature well, yet this work has given me years of important reading ahead, for which I am grateful. Comprehensive, consistently excellent, clear and yet also concise … a disquieting work as any good work on the Holocaust must be. It is a work to be cherished.’Michael Berenbaum, American Jewish University, Los Angeles



The Coming of the HolocaustFrom Antisemitism to GenocidePeter KenezUniversity of California, Santa Cruz

The Coming of the Holocaust aims to help readers understand the circumstances that made the Holocaust possible. Peter Kenez shows that three preconditions had to exist for the genocide to occur: modern anti-Semitism; an extremist group taking control of a powerful modern state; and the context of a major war.

‘The distinguished UC Santa Cruz historian Peter Kenez has taken on the daunting and complex task of explaining the origins of the ‘Final Solution’. He does so with deep erudition, perfect moral balance, patient reasoning, and crystal-clear prose. The Coming of the Holocaust will surely become the standard introduction to this painful and important subject.’Norman M. Naimark, Stanford University

Red NationsThe Nationalities Experience in and after the USSRJeremy SmithKarelian Institute, University of Eastern Finland

Red Nations is an accessible survey of the experience of the non-Russian USSR populace under communism. Drawing on the latest research, Jeremy Smith offers an important new contribution to the history of the dissolution of the USSR, the reconstruction of post-Soviet society, and its impact on non-Russian residents.

‘Jeremy Smith has given us the first comprehensive account of the turns and twists of Soviet nationality policies from the revolution to the present. An acknowledged expert on the USSR’s practices among non-Russian peoples, Smith shows how nations were constructed and reconstructed by an ostensibly internationalist socialist state that both promoted ethnic cultures but also exiled whole peoples to eradicate perceived threats to the regime. The importance of his story should not be underestimated.

After the Civil WarMaking Memory and Re-Making Spain since 1936Michael RichardsUniversity of the West of England, Bristol

The Spanish Civil War was fought out not only on streets and battlefields from 1936 to 1939 but also in terms of memory and trauma in the decades that followed. This fascinating book explores how the memory of Spain’s bloody civil war has been contested from 1939 to the present.

‘Almost forty years after Franco’s death, the history of the Spanish Civil War and dictatorship in Spain remains a cultural and political battleground. Michael Richards, with the same rigour and imagination shown in his previous research, explores in this book the relationship between multiple memory narratives of the Spanish Civil War. The result is a masterpiece of cultural history and the study of historical consciousness.’Julián Casanova, University of Zaragoza

Turkey, the Jews, and the HolocaustCorry Guttstadt

This book analyzes the minority politics of the Turkish republic and the country’s ambivalent policies regarding Jewish refugees and Turkish Jews living abroad. Although Turkey stayed neutral during World War II, the country’s policies proved crucial for many Turkish Jews living in various European countries. By examining the fates of the Jews who lived in Turkey before the war, this study shows that Turkey was far from welcoming toward Jews during the Holocaust era.

‘Corry Guttstadt’s excellent book is a vital corrective to some of the myths propagated about Turkey’s record during the Second World War and provides an account that is altogether more compelling.’Donald Bloxham, University of Edinburgh

René Cassin and Human RightsFrom the Great War to the Universal DeclarationJay WinterYale University, Connecticut

and Antoine ProstUniversité de Paris I

Through the biography of one extraordinary man at the centre of the human rights movement, this book reveals how the political and intellectual movement emerged from the experiences of a generation who endured two world wars, and gained the momentum to ultimately enshrine the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

‘Winter and Prost have written a marvelous book about the struggle for human rights as seen through the prism of the remarkable life and achievements of René Cassin ranging throughout the entire twentieth century. It is thoroughly researched, brilliantly presented, honest and humane in its treatment, and sound in its judgments. This is exactly the way that history and biography should be written.’Paul Gordon Lauren, University of Montana

West Germany and the Global SixtiesThe Anti-Authoritarian Revolt, 1962–1978Timothy Scott BrownNortheastern University, Boston

Examining how West German 1968 arose out of transnational connections, from the presence of Third World student radicals, to exchanges with European avant-garde movements and the appropriation of Anglo-American cultural forms like rock and roll, this study explores the interplay of radical politics and popular culture in the explosion of ‘1968’.

‘As the West German ‘1968’ finally becomes claimed for history, many fresh perspectives come into play. In Tim Brown’s excitingly original account, the unruly, boundary-crossing complexities of anti-authoritarianism appear in [a] refreshingly new light. West Germany [and] the Global Sixties brings the rhetoric of transnational history compellingly down to the ground.’Geoff Eley, University of Michigan

The East German Economy, 1945–2010Falling Behind or Catching Up?Edited by Hartmut BerghoffGerman Historical Institute, Washington DC

and Uta Andrea BalbierKing’s College London

This volume analyzes both the successes and failures of the East German economy. The contributors consider the economic history of East Germany within its broader political, cultural and social contexts, and trace the present and future of the East German economy, suggesting possible outcomes.

‘This stellar and invaluable volume of essays offers a state-of-the-art integrated narrative from the post-division to post-reunification East German economy. Avoiding a simple ‘failure’ story, it shows the contradictory qualities of the East German economy that once appeared as a star performer that might ‘overtake without catching up’ with the West, to use the famous paradoxical promise of Walter Ulbricht. This book reminds us that core parts of Eastern Germany were always ‘Central Germany’

(Mitteldeutschland) and that understanding the fading trajectory of the East German economic experiment is central to understanding German history more generally.’Jeffrey Fear, University of Glasgow

The Fascists and the Jews of ItalyMussolini’s Race Laws, 1938–1943Michael A. LivingstonRutgers-Camden School of Law

This book describes the history and nature of the Italian Race Laws, a series of anti-Jewish laws adopted by Fascist Italy and in force during the period (1938–43) when Italy was independent of German control. It is the first truly comprehensive survey of the Race Laws written in the English language.

Advance praise: ‘Michael A. Livingston brilliantly explores the legal framework, case-level operation, and ominous consequences of Fascist Italy’s racial laws from their introduction in 1938 to the regime’s destruction in 1943. He offers original and often disturbing perspectives on the legal-bureaucratic mechanisms of the Holocaust, the character of modern Italy, and the rule of law. Livingston’s analysis is unrivalled in conceptual sophistication, mastery of the

relevant legal scholarship, profound knowledge of the historical literature, and painstaking archival research. The Fascists and the Jews of Italy is a splendid introduction to issues that remain unresolved – a full seventy years after Fascist Italy’s ignominious end.’MacGregor Knox, Stevenson Professor of International History Emeritus, London School of Economics and Political Science

In this unique book in the English language, leading scholars explore the key moments and themes in Slovakia’s history. Charting how Slovak national identity took shape from the Duchy of Nitra’s ninth-century origins to the establishment of independent Slovakia at midnight 1992–3, they chart the ethnic awakening of the Slovak people.

‘Slovakia is a small country, only recently independent. But it is larger, and its history far longer and richer, than might be assumed. For centuries its inhabitants shared in the destinies of the Kingdom of Hungary; then for decades they formed an organic part of the modern state of Czechoslovakia. Here for the first time is a full and satisfactory treatment of that past in English. Authored mainly by Slovaks, it transcends the myopia and prejudice which have often disfigured the historiography of the subject and it incorporates many fresh research findings.’Robert Evans, Regius Professor of History, Oxford University

Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of Turkey examines the period from the conquest of Constantinople in 1453 to the accession of Ahmed I in 1603. During this period, the Ottoman Empire moved into a new phase of expansion, emerging in the sixteenth century as a dominant political player on the world scene. With territory stretching around the Mediterranean from the Adriatic Sea to Morocco, and from the Caucasus to the Caspian Sea, the Ottomans reached the apogee of their military might in a period seen by many later Ottomans, and historians, as a golden age in which the state was strong, the sultan’s might unquestionable, and intellectual life and the arts flourishing. In this volume, leading scholars assess the considerable expansion of Ottoman power and effervescence of the Ottoman intellectual and cultural world. They also investigate the challenges that faced the Ottoman state, particularly in the later period, as the empire experienced

economic crises, revolts and drawn-out wars.Contributors: Ebru Boyar, Palmira Brummett, Murat Cizakca, Geza David, Suraiya Faroqhi, Kate Fleet, Gottfried Hagen, Colin Imber, Cigdem Kafescioglu, Selim Kuru, Salih Ozbaran, Gilles VeinsteinCambridge History of Turkey

‘This thoroughly researched book is unique and ambitious in its temporal scope and interpretation.

The Cambridge History of the First World War is a comprehensive, three-volume work, which provides an authoritative account of the military, political, social, economic and cultural history of the Great War. Reflecting the very latest research in the field, the volumes provide a transnational guide to the course of war and how the dynamics of conflict unfolded throughout the world. Volume 1 surveys the military history, showing the brutal realities of a

global war among industrialised powers, whilst Volumes 2 and 3 explore the social, economic, cultural and political challenges that the war presented to politicians, industrialists, soldiers and civilians. Written by a team of leading international historians, the volumes together reveal the ways in which the war transcended the boundaries of Europe, subsequently to transform the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Americas, just as much as Europe itself.

It explores the multifaceted history of state power and highlights the ways in which different political systems responded to, and were deformed by, the near-unbearable pressures of war. Every state involved faced issues of military-civilian relations, parliamentary reviews of military policy, and the growth of war economies; and yet their particular form and significance varied in every national case.

science, all of which were ubiquitous during the conflict.Contributors: Jay Winter, Jean-Jacques Becker, Gerd Krumeich, Dittmar Dahlmann, David Stevenson, Stig Forster, Richard Bessel, Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau, Heather Jones, Alexander Watson, Len Smith, Ian Brown, Frédéric Guelton, John Horne, Barry Supple, Antoine Prost, Stefan Goebel, Benjamin Ziemann, Hans-Peter Ullmann, Roy Macleod, Alan Kramer, Georges-Henri Soutou, Samuel Kruizinga, Martin Ceadel, Helmut Konrad, Robert Gerwarth, Arndt WeinrichThe Cambridge History of the First World War

The Cambridge History of the First World WarVolume 3: Civil SocietyEdited by Jay WinterYale University, Connecticut

Volume 3 of The Cambridge History of the First World War explores the social and cultural history of the war and considers the role of civil society throughout the conflict; that is to say those institutions and practices outside the state through which the war effort was waged. Drawing on 25 years of historical scholarship, it sheds new light on culturally significant issues such as how families and medical authorities adapted to the challenges of war and the shift that occurred in gender roles and behaviour that would subsequently reshape society. Adopting a transnational approach, this volume surveys the war’s treatment of populations at risk, including refugees, minorities and internees, to show the full extent of the disaster of war and, with it, the stubborn survival of irrational kindness and the generosity of spirit that persisted amidst the bitterness at the heart of warfare, with all its contradictions and enduring legacies.Contributors: Jay Winter, Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau, Martha Hanna, Manon Pignot, John Horne, Laura Lee Downs, Susan R.

History after 1945 (general)

Allen Dulles, the OSS, and Nazi War CriminalsThe Dynamics of Selective ProsecutionKerstin von LingenUniversität Heidelberg

Kerstin von Lingen shows how Nazi SS-General Karl Wolff avoided war crimes prosecution because of his role in ‘Operation Sunrise’, negotiations conducted by high-ranking American, Swiss and British officials – in violation of the Casablanca agreements with the Soviet Union – for the surrender of German forces in Italy.

‘Kerstin von Lingen’s most important book sheds light on a fascinating, cinema-like story. For the first time we learn how Karl Wolff, one of the most prominent surviving SS generals, managed to avoid prosecution with the help of the OSS. This well-researched book is essential reading for everyone interested in the astonishing story of German war criminals in the postwar period.’Sönke Neitzel, London School of Economics and Political Science

African Voices on Slavery and the Slave TradeVolume 1: The SourcesEdited by Alice BellagambaUniversity of Milan-Bicocca

Sandra E. GreeneCornell University, New York

and Martin A. KleinUniversity of Toronto

To cast light on African perspectives of the history of slavery, top Africanist scholars have examined both conventional historical sources and less-explored sources of information. African Voices on Slavery and the Slave Trade is the first of two volumes providing a trove of African sources for studying African slavery and slave trade.

‘By combining so many studies that give voice to enslaved Africans into a single forum, Bellagamba, Greene, and Klein have transformed the study of slavery in a way that will require a revolutionary reassessment of what we think about slavery and how we study enslavement and resistance … a tour de force of global significance for historians, students, and all people concerned with social justice.’Paul E.

The Sugar Plantation in India and IndonesiaIndustrial Production, 1770–2010Ulbe BosmaInternational Institute of Social History, Amsterdam

In this book, Ulbe Bosma details how the British and Dutch introduced the sugar plantation model in Asia around 1800, when abolitionist campaigns in the Caribbean began, and refashioned it over time. Previously, European markets had almost exclusively relied on Caribbean sugar produced by slave labor.

‘This well-researched global history of a major traditional industry of Asia (sugar) breaks new ground. Departing from the usual preoccupation with plantations, Bosma draws our attention to small-scale production systems and associated property regimes, and connects sugar with empire, India with Indonesia, and colonial developments with postcolonial ones. The book should encourage historians to rethink the notion of industrialization.’Tirthankar Roy, London School of Economics and Political Science

Drawing on a broad range of sources, he reveals how astronomical concepts influenced almost every area of social organization, from art and architecture, to political and military decision making.

‘David Pankenier’s examination of traditional cosmology and astrology in China is the authoritative work in the area. It draws on the latest evidence and most recent scholarship to make a compelling case for the central role of the sky in Chinese religion, philosophy, political thought and social organisation.

The Peasant in Postsocialist ChinaHistory, Politics, and CapitalismAlexander F. DayOccidental College, Los Angeles

A radical appraisal of the role of the peasant throughout Chinese history, and how that role has transformed in the reform-era and beyond. Indispensable reading for all those wishing to understand Chinese history and politics, and the debate as to the nature of tomorrow’s China.

‘Rural China, the source of the Chinese Revolution, has suffered marginalization, exploitation, and plunder under developmentalist reform policies since the 1990s, when the PRC leadership decisively embarked on a path of incorporation in global capitalism. In this well-researched and engaged study, Alexander F. Day critically analyzes the ideological debates occasioned by the ‘agrarian question’, and traces efforts by activists of various political stripes to resolve it. The ‘underside’ of the phenomenal so-called ‘China model’ is recognized widely, including by the regime itself, but is framed more often than not as a problem of sustained development. What makes this study unique and invaluable is bringing to light efforts to remedy it that also aspire to lend some credence to the regime’s ritual claims to socialism.’Arif Dirlik, Liang Qichao Memorial Distinguished Visiting Professor, Tsinghua University, Beijing

Debating Turkish ModernityCivilization, Nationalism, and the EECMehmet DöşemeciBucknell University, Pennsylvania

Debating Turkish Modernity explores how Turks spoke about the prospect of joining the European Economic Community between 1959 and 1980. It argues that these debates created deep, bitter divides among Turks by bringing up long-standing questions about Turkey’s past and its ambivalent relationship with Europe.

Advance praise: ‘Dösemeci’s meticulously written and lucid book is an excellent historical study that calls for the active imagination of the reader. With a skilful hermeneutical analysis of historical events it invites us to rethink the meanings of modernity through different logics and historical-conceptual sites within which civilization, nation, and Europeanness have been dialogically imagined and debated by Turkish elites. The book powerfully brings to life the impasses and tensions of these debates, shedding a very different light on the much-technicalized discussions of Turkey’s membership to Europe today.’Meltem Ahiska, Bogaziçi University, Istanbul

The Cambridge History of Turkey represents a monumental enterprise. The History, comprising four volumes, covers the period from the end of the eleventh century, with the arrival of the Turks in Anatolia, through the emergence of the early Ottoman state, and its development into a powerful empire in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, encompassing a massive territory from the borders of Iran in the east, to Hungary in the west, and North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula in the south. The last volume covers its destruction in the aftermath of the First World War, and the history of the modern state of Turkey which arose from the ashes of empire. Chapters from an international

Australian history

The Australian Army from Whitlam to HowardJohn BlaxlandAustralian National University, Canberra

The Australian Army from Whitlam to Howard is the first critical examination of Australia’s post-Vietnam military operations, spanning the 35 years between the election of Gough Whitlam and the defeat of John Howard. John Blaxland explores the ‘casualty cringe’ felt by political leaders following the war and how this impacted subsequent operations. He contends that the Australian Army’s rehabilitation involved common individual and collective training and reaffirmation of the Army’s regimental and corps identities. He shows how the Army regained its confidence to play leading roles in East Timor, Bougainville and the Solomon Islands, and to contribute to combat operations further afield. At a time when the Australian Army’s future strategic role is the subject of much debate, and

as the ‘Asian Century’ gathers pace and commitment in Afghanistan draws to an end, this work is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the modern context of Australia’s military land force.2014 228 x 152 mm 420pp 978-1-107-04365-7 Hardback £40.00 Publication January 2014


Australia 1943The Liberation of New GuineaEdited by Peter DeanAustralian National University, Canberra

By January 1943, Australia had emerged from the shadow of war in a strong position. The victories in 1942 at Kokoda, Guadalcanal, Buna, Gona and Sanananda had secured the northern coastlines of Papua and Australia. Australian forces were now poised for a full scale offensive to liberate New Guinea from the Japanese, the largest and most complicated operations in their history. Australia 1943 explores the high point of Australia’s influence on operations and strategy in the South West Pacific, a campaign that has been traditionally overshadowed by the drama of Kokoda. It investigates critical operations from January 1943 to April 1944, including Salamaua, Lae/Nadzab, Finschhafen, Shaggy Ridge, the Markham Valley and the Huon Peninsula. Australia 1943 is the first detailed single-volume study of Australia’s military operations in the Pacific during 1943 – Australia’s ‘finest hour’ in the Second World War.Contributors: Peter Dean, David Horner, Hiroyuki Shindo, Kevin C.

A Movable FeastTen Millennia of Food GlobalizationKenneth F. KipleBowling Green State University, Ohio

Pepper was once worth its weight in gold. Onions have been used to cure everything from sore throats to foot fungus. White bread was once considered too nutritious. From hunting water buffalo to farming salmon, A Movable Feast chronicles the globalization of food over the past ten thousand years. This engaging history follows the path that food has taken throughout history and the ways in which humans have altered its course. Beginning with the days of hunter-gatherers and extending to the present world of genetically modified chickens, Kenneth F. Kiple details the far-reaching adventure of food. He investigates food’s global impact, from the Irish potato famine to the birth of McDonald’s. Combining fascinating facts with historical evidence, this is a sweeping narrative of food’s place in the world. Looking closely at geographic, cultural and scientific factors, this book reveals how what we eat has transformed over the years from fuel to art.

‘… brimming with curious titbits: the use of cocoa beans as currency; the accidental domestication of rye, oats and various legumes after they hitched a ride with wheat and barley; Coca-Cola’s origins as a health tonic. Anyone interested in the history of

food for whom The Cambridge World History of Food seems too large a helping will find Mr Kiple’s sprightly summary volume far more palatable.’The Economist

All Galen’s surviving shorter works on psychology and ethics – including the recently discovered Avoiding Distress, and the neglected Character Traits, extant only in Arabic – are here presented in one volume in a new English translation, with substantial introductions and notes and extensive glossaries. Original and penetrating analyses are provided of the psychological and philosophical thought, both of the above and of two absolutely central works of Galenic philosophy, Affections and Errors and The Capacities of the Soul, by some of the foremost

experts in the field. Each treatise has also been subjected to fresh textual study, taking account of the latest scholarly developments, and is presented with accompanying textual discussions, adding greatly to the value and accuracy of the work without detracting from its accessibility to a wider readership. The volume thus makes a major contribution to the understanding of the ancient world’s most prominent doctor-philosopher in his intellectual context.Cambridge Galen Translations

Discovery and Classification in AstronomyControversy and ConsensusSteven J. DickNational Air and Space Museum

This comprehensive history traces more than 400 years of telescopic observation, exploring how the signal discoveries of new astronomical objects relate to and inform one another, and why controversies such as Pluto’s reclassification as a dwarf planet in 2006 are commonplace in astronomy.

‘A highly accessible collection of narrative case studies that explore how the discipline of astronomy has gone about detecting new classes of phenomena and then has decided if, indeed, these new classes are in fact new, or whether they are actually variations or extremes of previously known classes. The bold ambition of the book, to craft a systematic hierarchical classification of all astronomical phenomena, to aid in forming and reforming taxonomies for future discoveries of new astronomical phenomena is, indeed, a goal that should be of great interest to scientists, historians, sociologists and philosophers.’David H.

Complexity and the Arrow of TimeEdited by Charles H. LineweaverAustralian National University, Canberra

Paul C. W. DaviesArizona State University

and Michael RuseFlorida State University

There is a widespread assumption that the universe in general, and life in particular, is ‘getting more complex with time’. This book brings together a wide range of experts in science, philosophy and theology and unveils their joint effort in exploring this idea. They confront essential problems behind the theory of complexity and the role of life within it: what is complexity? When does it increase, and why? Is the universe evolving towards states of ever greater complexity and diversity? If so, what is the source of this universal enrichment? This book addresses those difficult questions, and offers a unique cross-disciplinary perspective on some of the most profound issues at the heart of science and philosophy. Readers will gain insights in complexity that reach deep into key areas of physics, biology, complexity science, philosophy and religion.

‘The emergence of complex systems after the Big Bang, from a Universe that started out in a very simple state, is one of the great puzzles of science. This book provides the best single-volume insight into the nature of this puzzle, and hints at its possible resolution. It may be the answer to life, the Universe, and everything.’John Gribbin, University of Sussex

How the War Was WonThe Anglo-American Destruction of German and Japanese PowerPhillips O’BrienUniversity of Glasgow

There were no decisive battles in World War II. In this compelling new history of the path to victory, Phillips O’Brien argues that in terms of production, technology and economic power, the war was far more a contest of air and sea supremacy than land. He shows how the Allies developed a predominance of air and sea power which put unbearable pressure on Germany and Japan’s entire war-fighting system from Europe and the Mediterranean to the Pacific. Air and sea power dramatically expanded the area of battle, allowing the Allies to destroy over half of the Axis’s equipment before it had even reached the battlefield, decisively determining the course of battles. Ultimately, the war was won because the Allies had far more powerful and better-equipped armed forces than the Axis. Battles such as El Alamein, Stalingrad and Kursk did not win World War II; air and sea power did.2014 228 x 152 mm 410pp 978-1-107-01475-6 Hardback c. £20.00 Publication July 2014

of critical innovations in the design and performance of ships, wireless communication and firepower. He charts how Allied supremacy led the Central Powers to attempt to revolutionize naval warfare by pursuing unrestricted submarine warfare, ultimately prompting the United States to enter the war. Victory against the submarine challenge, following their earlier success in sweeping the seas of German cruisers and other surface raiders, left the Allies free to use the world’s sea lanes to transport supplies and troops to Europe from overseas territories, and eventually from the United States, which proved a decisive factor in their ultimate victory.2014 228 x 152 mm 350pp 978-1-107-03690-1 Hardback c. £25.00 Publication July 2014

The Direction of WarContemporary Strategy in Historical PerspectiveHew StrachanUniversity of Oxford

The West’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have always been seen as strategic failures resulting from a lack of consistent direction, of effective communication, and of governmental coordination. Leading military historian Sir Hew Strachan argues here that these failures resulted from a fundamental misreading and misapplication of strategy itself.

‘A very thoughtful, enormously stimulating, and hugely thought-provoking examination of the strategies, concepts, and civil-military

relationships that have influenced the character of war in the twenty-first century.’General David H. Petraeus, former Commander of United States Central Command and Commanding General of the Multi-National Force – Iraq and the NATO International Security Assistance Force, Afghanistan

A deeply researched account of how the British, French and US armies have transformed themselves since the end of the Cold War. This is an essential reference for anybody studying contemporary military development, the US military, European defence, and the future of military power.

‘Critically integrating and indisputably surpassing the current literature on military innovation, this is a ‘must have’ book for serious students of military affairs and senior leaders, particularly for those interested in, or responsible for, innovation and force development. Transforming Military Power since the Cold War is also highly relevant to policy makers facing key decisions about reposturing ground forces for joint and coalition warfare after the protracted struggles in Iraq and Afghanistan – and to any leader seeking to induce disruptive changes into large organizations.’Frank G.

CounterinsurgencyExposing the Myths of the New Way of WarDouglas PorchNaval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California

Douglas Porch’s sweeping history of counterinsurgency campaigns, ranging from nineteenth-century colonial conquests to General Petraeus’s ‘Surge’ in Iraq, challenges the contemporary mythologising of counterinsurgency as a humane way of war. The reality, he reveals, is that ‘hearts and minds’ has never been a recipe for lasting stability.

‘In this brilliant volume master historian Douglas Porch shatters the myth of contemporary counterinsurgency by exposing its raw historical roots. American counterinsurgents often preach moralistic sounding bromides like ‘protect and serve the local populations’. Porch deconstructs the mythical universe of counterinsurgency and lays bare the historical truth that they are ultimately wars of death, destruction, and often brute conquest.’Colonel Gian Gentile, United States Military Academy, West Point

Britain’s Two World Wars against GermanyThe Distortions of HindsightBrian BondKing’s College London

Britain’s role and performance in the two World Wars continues to generate considerable debate but the wars are rarely considered together. Leading military historian Brian Bond here challenges the popular view of the First World War as catastrophic and futile in contrast to the Second World War as a well-conducted and victorious moral crusade. He focusses on the key issues which have caused controversy and distortion, to demonstrate how these views became deeply rooted in popular culture in the years since 1945. These issues range from policy and strategy, combat experience, the attritional strategies of naval blockade and strategic bombing to British generalship, and gains and losses in the aftermath of both wars. He also considers the learning process of the British Army in both world wars. He boldly concludes that in a number of important respects Britain was more successful in the First World War than in the Second.Cambridge Military Histories

Ajay K. Mehrotra explores what tax reformers at the turn of the twentieth century accomplished and how their limited achievements were contested at nearly every turn.

‘Mehrotra has crafted a narrative that is fundamental to understanding the modern American state. By unearthing the intellectual, economic, political, and emotional spade work required to lay the groundwork for a major conceptual change in public policy, he shows how a highly decentralized, politicized, and indirect method of

taxation was transformed into a centralized, neutrally administered, direct method of taxation with great potential to achieve redistributive ends.’Brian Balogh, University of Virginia

The Foundations of Worldwide Economic IntegrationPower, Institutions, and Global Markets, 1850–1930Edited by Christof DejungUniversität Konstanz, Germany

and Niels P. PeterssonSheffield Hallam University

The essays in this volume discuss worldwide economic integration between 1850 and 1930, challenging the popular description of the period after 1918 as one of deglobalisation. By showing that institutionalism altered its shape in circumstances that challenged international trade, and presenting case studies from various countries, this book offers a fresh perspective on economic globalisation.

‘It has become commonplace to argue that institutions and rules matter greatly to economic performance. But how did these institutions and rules emerge and take the particular shapes that they did? Christof Dejung and Niels P. Petersson’s significant collection takes a sustained look at global trade in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and shows how European merchants, Indian peasants, imperial statesmen, and others, constructed these institutions and rules. Far from a definite set of tools, the institutions that enabled global trade were the outcome of sustained social contestation on local marketplaces, in national politics, and across ocean-spanning trade networks. Power is back to the debate on institutions – and this book is a must-read for anyone interested in this important story.’Sven Beckert, Harvard University

German Merchants in the Nineteenth-Century AtlanticLars MaischakCalifornia State University, Fresno

Based on an examination of the merchant elite of the city-republic of Bremen and the trans-Atlantic ties they established in trading with the United States in the nineteenth century, this study illuminates the role of merchant capital in the making of an industrial-capitalist world economy.

‘Lars Maischak’s research on Hanseatic merchant capitalism and its transatlantic economic networks marks a signal achievement in Atlantic World scholarship. By integrating German Hanseatic networks into the Atlantic economy of antebellum America and northern Europe, Maischak throws light on a much-neglected component of nineteenth-century transnationalism. Alive to the cultural attitudes that shaped the business practices of merchant communities, Maischak deftly deploys numerous lenses to study how cosmopolitan conservative patrician traders, in abetting the rise of industrial world markets, brought about their own decline. This insightful and wide-ranging discussion elegantly restores the economic and sociopolitical world of merchant capitalists, whose compelling story runs counter to the dominant narratives of nation-states and industrialization. Well written and conceptually smart, this book speaks to numerous discussions in nineteenth-century studies.’James M. Brophy, University of Delaware

Today’s world textile and garment trade is valued at a staggering $425 billion. We are told that under the pressure of increasing globalisation, it is India and China that are the new world manufacturing powerhouses. However, this is not a new phenomenon: until the industrial revolution, Asia manufactured great quantities of colourful printed cottons that were sold to places as far afield as Japan, West Africa and Europe. Cotton explores this earlier globalised economy and its transformation after 1750 as cotton led the way in the industrialisation of Europe. By the early nineteenth century, India, China and the Ottoman Empire switched from world producers to buyers of European cotton textiles, a position that they retained for over two hundred years. This is a fascinating and insightful story which ranges from Asian and European technologies and African slavery to

cotton plantations in the Americas and consumer desires across the globe.

‘… a remarkable volume full of insight and originality … Riello deserves a wide audience and the book will be of interest to a readership well beyond the audience for world economic history, including cultural and social history, the histories of art, design, fashion and, of course, textiles themselves.’Reviews in History (history.ac.uk/reviews)

In addition, this lengthy and complex work contains a vast amount of information on other topics, including the journey of Alexander the Great, cultic history, the history of the eastern Mediterranean in the first century BC, and women’s history. Modern knowledge of seminal geographical authors such as Eratosthenes and Hipparchos relies almost totally on Strabo’s use of them. This is the first complete English translation in nearly a century, and the first to make use of recent scholarship on the Greek text itself and on the history of geography.

Americomania and the French Revolution Debate in Britain, 1789–1802Wil VerhoevenRijksuniversiteit Groningen, The Netherlands

This book explores the evolution of British identity and participatory politics in the 1790s. Wil Verhoeven argues that in the course of the French Revolution debate in Britain, the idea of ‘America’ came to represent for the British people the choice between two diametrically opposed models of social justice and political participation.

Advance praise: ‘Wil Verhoeven makes a strong and original argument, that the idea of ‘America’ played a central, neglected

role in Britain’s debate on the French Revolution in the 1790s. Despite the loss of the colonies in the American Revolution, America continued to loom large in the British national imaginary. Verhoeven’s readings of familiar and obscure texts are consistently rewarding. His analyses of the new world degeneracy thesis of Buffon et al.; the ‘progressive agrarianism’ of Crevecoeur, Jefferson, and Imlay; and the Jacobin novel are fresh and insightful; and his rehabilitation of the anti-Jacobin novel brings to the fore a neglected but ‘historically significant body of social critique’. No previous writer has put these texts into conversation, and the interpretative results are striking. The debate over the French Revolution will never look quite the same.’Peter S.

The Impact of IdealismThe Legacy of Post-Kantian German ThoughtEdited by Nicholas BoyleUniversity of Cambridge

and Liz DisleyUniversity of Cambridge

German Idealism is arguably the most influential force in philosophy over the past two hundred years. This major four-volume work is the first comprehensive survey of its impact on science, religion, sociology and the humanities, and brings together fifty-two leading scholars from across Europe and North America. Each essay discusses an idea or theme

from Kant, Hegel, Schelling, Fichte, or another key figure, shows how this influenced a thinker or field of study in the subsequent two centuries, and how that influence is felt in contemporary thought. Crossing established scholarly divides, the volumes deal with fields as varied as feminism, architectural history, psychoanalysis, Christology and museum curation, and subjects as diverse as love, evolution, the public sphere, the art of Andy Warhol, the music of Palestrina, the philosophy of Husserl, the literature of Jane Austen, the political thought of fascism and the foundations of international law.

‘This unprecedented collection by scholars from the UK, US, and Europe chronicles the rise of German Idealism and reveals its enduring influence on virtually every area of modern thought and action from philosophy to science, society and politics, the practice, criticism, and theory of the arts, and religion.’Paul Guyer, University of Pennsylvania

Edited by Karl AmeriksUniversity of Notre Dame, Indiana

The first study of its kind, The Impact of Idealism assesses the impact of classical German philosophy on science, religion and culture. This volume explores

















German Idealism’s impact on philosophy and scientific thought. Fourteen essays, by leading authorities in their respective fields, each focus on the legacy of a particular idea that emerged around 1800, when the underlying concepts of modern philosophy were being formed, challenged and criticised, leaving a legacy that extends to all physical areas and all topics in the philosophical world. From British Idealism to phenomenology, existentialism, pragmatism and French postmodernism, the story of German Idealism’s impact on philosophy is here interwoven with man’s scientific journey of self-discovery in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries – from Darwin to Nietzsche to Freud and beyond. Spanning the analytical and Continental divide, this first volume examines Idealism’s impact on contemporary philosophical discussions.Contributors: Nicholas Boyle, Liz Disley, Dieter Henrich, Karl Ameriks, Michael Friedman, Robert J.

Just and Unjust Military InterventionEuropean Thinkers from Vitoria to MillEdited by Stefano RecchiaUniversity of Cambridge

and Jennifer M. WelshEuropean University Institute, Florence

Classical arguments about the legitimate use of force have crucially shaped society. But what lessons can we learn from classical European philosophers and jurists when thinking about the ethics and politics of military intervention today? This book explores the ways in which classical ideas can be applied to contemporary problems.

‘Arguments about whether or not military intervention is justified overshadow much of today’s international agenda. This authoritative collection, encompassing the reflections across four centuries of the major luminaries of European thought, will greatly enrich those debates, as well as documenting an intellectual history in its own right.’Ian Clark, Aberystwyth University

TyrannyA New InterpretationWaller R. NewellCarleton University, Ottawa

This is the first comprehensive exploration of ancient and modern tyranny in the history of political thought. Waller R. Newell traces the varieties of tyranny from the steely determination of reforming conquerors and modernizing despots to the collectivist revolutions of the Jacobins, Bolsheviks, Nazis and Khmer Rouge.

‘Learned, searching essays directed toward the recovery of the notion of tyranny from Machiavelli’s almost successful attempt to suppress it. Anyone who wants to understand modern politics will profit from Waller Newell’s eye-opening analysis.’Harvey Mansfield, Harvard University and Hoover Institution, Stanford University



Democratic StatecraftPolitical Realism and Popular PowerJ. S. MaloyOklahoma State University

While half the world yearns for ‘democracy’, the other half grieves over ‘democratic deficits’. J. S. Maloy suggests that democracy’s troubles arise from excessive idealism and examines key episodes from the history of political realism in the Western tradition, using old materials to assemble a new democratic paradigm.

‘As democracy has risen to prominence, it has acquired an aura of idealism that has strengthened it, but also stripped it of some of its most powerful traits. In Democratic Statecraft, Jason Maloy poses a bold challenge to the uncritical idealism that characterizes much of contemporary democratic theory. The democratic reason of state that emerges in the process will remind those who have forgotten where democracy has been, and compel those concerned about its future to think hard about where it might go.’Yannis Evrigenis, Tufts University



Mill and PaternalismGregory ClaeysRoyal Holloway, University of London

Giving prominence for the first time to Mill’s abiding concern with Malthusianism and its impact on his key arguments respecting liberty, Mill and Paternalism explores Mill’s strong commitment to population control, popular education, feminism and the leading role of intellectual elites, alongside his overarching interests in both liberty and equality.

‘Mill’s On Liberty has been all-too successful with philosophers and political theorists in achieving his goal of writing a ‘philosophic textbook of a single truth’. In this comprehensive reassessment of Mill’s career as social and political commentator, Gregory Claeys shows how Mill’s single truth on the limits of interference in individual lives needs to be modified when the equally urgent concerns of his political economy, feminism, and interest in socialism are brought into the reckoning.’Donald Winch, University of Sussex

CompromiseA Political and Philosophical HistoryAlin FumurescuTulane University, Louisiana

This book offers a conceptual history of compromise. Fumurescu combines contextual historical analysis of daily parlance and a survey of the usage of the word from the end of the sixteenth century to the beginning of the eighteenth century in both French and English.

‘In this bold, scrupulous, and wholly original work of political theory, Alin Fumurescu undertakes a genealogy of this crucial but frequently maligned concept. In a fascinating reconstruction of the etymology of compromise, Fumurescu traces the roots of our ambivalence to the early modern world, when a largely positive English view that regards compromise as a healthy attribute of liberal politics diverged sharply from the French contempt for compromise as a betrayal of our innermost conscience. The author moves effortlessly from Athens and Rome to early modern Europe and beyond, connecting back up with today’s philosophical discussions of compromise. By tracing clear lines of influence between early modern intellectual history and our contemporary political tribulations, the author succeeds where many works of political theory fall short. Fumurescu’s insights will be of interest to historians, philosophers, political theorists, and policy makers alike.’Richard Boyd, Georgetown University
