Ivan the Terrible
Isabel de Madariaga, University of London
This compelling biography is the first to encompass the entire life
of Ivan the Terrible and to view him in the context of his own time.
Notorious for a policy of unrestrained terror—and for killing his own
son—Ivan is credited with establishing autocracy in Russia. The book
illuminates his tragic reign and foreign policies, as well as his marriages
and disordered personality.
“This simply brilliant book is a colossal achievement of magisterial
scholarship, beautifully readable prose and superb characterisation of
a staggeringly degenerate monster who was both an appallingly sadistic criminal and a pathetically
tragic victim of power.”—Simon Sebag Montefiore, Evening Standard
“De Madariaga accomplishes a lot in this significant biography of the 16th-century Russian czar,
contextualizing his life without minimizing his brutality. . . . Likely to become the definitive
work on Ivan for some time.”—Publishers Weekly

Shopping in the Renaissance
Consumer Cultures in Italy, 1400–1600
Evelyn Welch, University of London
This fascinating and original book breaks new ground in the area of
Renaissance material culture, focusing on the marketplace and such
related topics as middle-class to courtly consumption, the provision of
foodstuffs, and the acquisition of antiquities and holy relics. The book
investigates how men and women of different social classes went to the
streets, squares, and shops to buy goods they needed and wanted on a
daily—or a once-in-a-lifetime—basis, during the Renaissance period.
Evelyn Welch draws on wide-ranging sources to expose the fears, anxieties, and social possibilities
of the Renaissance marketplace and to show the impact of these attitudes on developing
urban spaces. She considers transient forms of sales such as fairs, auctions, and lotteries as
well as consumers themselves. Finally, she explores antiquities and indulgences, both of which
posed dramatic challenges to contemporary notions of market value and to the concept of commodification
itself.

Charlemagne
Matthias Becher,
Universität Bonn,
Germany; Translated
by Karl der Grosse
“A remarkably informed,
informative, and admirably
up-to-date ‘personal
interpretation’ of
the Frankish emperor’s
character, reign, and legacy. . . . Highly
recommended.”—Choice
“An excellent introduction.”—Historical
Association Review
Charlemagne—ruler of the vast Frankish
kingdom from 768 to his death in 814 and
Holy Roman emperor from the year 800—
is considered the father of Europe. In this
concise, insightful, and eminently readable
biography, Mathias Becher provides a wealth
of information about a remarkable man and
his times. Among the topics Becher discusses
are Charlemagne’s rise to emperor and his
political and military maneuvering against
the Saxons, the Lombards, and others; the
ways in which laws and language in these
lands were reformed and revised; and the
tensions that emerged in Charlemagne’s
court between modern ideas and traditional
thinking.

The
Stripping

Traditional
Religion in England,
1400–1580,
Second Edition
Eamon Duffy,
University of
Cambridge
This prize-winning account of the pre-Reformation
church recreates lay people’s experience
of religion in fifteenth-century England.
Eamon Duffy shows that late medieval
Catholicism was neither decadent nor
decayed, but was a strong and vigorous
tradition, and that the Reformation represented
a violent rupture from a popular and
theologically respectable religious system.
From reviews of the first edition:
“Deeply imaginative, movingly written, and
splendidly illustrated. . . . Duffy’s analysis
. . . carries conviction.”—Maurice Keen, New
York Review of Books
“This book will afford enjoyment and enlightenment
to layman and specialist alike.”

Keen moves easily across Europe in search
of the international spirit of chivalry. . . . The
pageantry he presents is colorful and his
conclusions uplifting.”—David Herlihy, New

“A most readable and comprehensive survey:
stimulating, informative, a splendid creation
of context.”—Nicholas Orme, Times Higher

The Spanish Inquisition
A History
Joseph Pérez; Translated by Janet Lloyd
This is the story of a battle for a unified faith that plunged Spain into
350 years of terror. Joseph Pérez explores the frightening history of
the Spanish Inquisition—its interrogations, torture, and executions;
the inner workings of its councils and courts; its methods of policing
information and enforcing behavior—as well as its long-term impact on
the nation.
“A scholarly and vivid recasting of a painful era in which 32,000 innocent people went to the
stake, is a salutary reminder of the potential savagery occasioned by religion.”—John Cornwell,

The King’s Reformation
Henry VIII and the Remaking of the English Church
G.W. Bernard, University of Southampton
“Big, erudite, trenchant and readable, this is a masterpiece drawing on
decades of research and reflection, and a work of international scholarly
importance.”—Ralph Houlbrooke
Henry VIII’s reformation remains among the most crucial yet misunderstood
events in English history. In this substantial new account G. W.
Bernard presents the king as neither confused nor a pawn in the hands
of manipulative factions. Henry, a monarch who ruled as well as reigned, is revealed instead as
the determining mover of religious policy throughout this momentous period.

England and the Spanish Armada
The Necessary Quarrel
James McDermott
“[This book] looks certain to introduce a fresh and welcomely subversive
current into the otherwise rather becalmed waters of Tudor history.”
—John Adamson, Sunday Telegraph
The Anglo-Spanish War of 1585–1603 was, to most contemporary Englishmen,
a conflict for the soul of the nation. To their descendants, the
Armada campaign of 1588 represented a watershed in European history
that both preserved English freedoms and halted the momentum of an
ambitious and alien empire. Yet the victorious nation had contributed much to the conflict.
This book examines the process by which the Spaniard, a long-term ally and friend, became in
English eyes the epitome of human depravity, and how resistance to his imagined goals helped
shape an emerging sense of nationhood.
The antipathies generated by this process ensured that the Armada campaign was a battle
for different ideals of civilization. The protagonists expected the clash to be decisive, but
what ensued was no heroic encounter. Instead it was an inconclusive affair, redeemed—for
England—by atrocious weather and poor Spanish understanding of the coastlines of western
Scotland and Ireland.

The Civil War fought between Charles I and

What induced the British
to adopt foreign coffee-drinking customs
in the seventeenth century Why did an entirely
new social institution, the coffeehouse,
emerge as the primary place for consumption
of this new drink In this lively book, Brian
Cowan locates the answers to these questions
in the particularly British combination of
curiosity, commerce, and civil society. Cowan
provides the definitive account of the origins
of coffee drinking and coffeehouse society,
and in so doing he reshapes our understanding
of the commercial and consumer
revolutions in Britain during the long Stuart
century.

Love and
the Law in
Cervantes
Roberto González
Echevarría,
Yale University
“Astounding revelations
and provocative
insights.”—Frederick
De Armas
In this fascinating book, Roberto González
Echevarría explores the works of Cervantes,
showing how his representations of love were
inspired by examples of human deviance and
desire culled from legal discourse.
González Echevarría describes Spain’s new
legal policies, legislation, and institutions and
explains how, at the same time, its literature
became filled with love stories derived from
classical and medieval sources. Examining
the ways that these legal and literary
developments interacted in Cervantes’s work,
he sheds new light on Don Quixote and other
writings.

The Virgin and the Grail
Origins of a Legend
Joseph Goering, University of Toronto
“Goering’s quest for the origins of the grail legend leads us through a
landscape of romance, theology, art, and dynastic history, to track
down the first ’Perceval’ in Christendom’s least-frequented corner. A
’must’ for addicts.”—Alexander Murray
How did the Holy Grail come to form the centerpiece of a story about a
knight in King Arthur’s court In this fascinating book Joseph Goering
explores the possible sources of this influential tale that originated with Chrétien de Troyes,
and ultimately links the legend to medieval paintings in the Spanish Pyrenees which depict the
Virgin Mary with a radiant bowl.

The Origins of Medieval
Architecture
Building in Europe,
A.D. 600–900
Charles
McClendon,
Brandeis University
This book is the first
devoted to the important
innovations in
architecture that took
place in western
Europe between the
death of emperor Justinian in A.D. 565 and
the tenth century. During this period of transition
from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages,
the Early Christian basilica was transformed
in both form and function.
Charles B. McClendon draws on rich documentary
evidence and archaeological data to
show that the buildings of these three centuries,
studied in isolation but rarely together,
set substantial precedents for the future of
medieval architecture.

The Riverside Gardens
of Thomas
More’s
London
C. Paul
Christianson,
College of Wooster
(Ohio)
All but forgotten
today, eight historic
gardens that once
flourished along the
length of the Thames in early Tudor London
are here historically recreated and analyzed
in this richly illustrated book. One of the
gardens belonged to Sir Thomas More, and
the others to politically powerful friends and
acquaintances of his. The stories of these
long-lost gardens, brought together here
for the first time, shed new light not only on
London’s garden history and that of its first
gardeners but also on the lives and outlooks
of some of the most important figures within
and around the court of Henry VIII.
The locations of these gardens range from
the Tower of London to More’s own country
manor at Chelsea, from Cardinal Wolsey’s
York Place in Westminster (later transformed
into Whitehall Palace by Henry VIII) to
Hampton Court. More than any single garden
could, the group of eight riverside gardens
illuminates not only the practical realities but
also the political importance of gardens. The
book explores in detail the gardens that More
knew so well and shows how their histories
are intimately connected to his own.

Palladio’s
Venice
Architecture
and Society in
a Renaissance
Republic
Tracy E. Cooper,
Temple University
Celebrated Renaissance architect Andrea
Palladio (1508–1580) devoted much of his
career to the city of Venice. Famous for
public buildings he had designed in his native
Vicenza and country villas he had built for
wealthy patricians there, he arrived in Venice
in the mid-1550s confident of establishing a
successful new practice. Yet Palladio’s Venetian
career never matched his lofty expectations.
Failing to achieve the position of state
architect or to earn the kinds of commissions
to which he was accustomed, he found himself
working in a category new to his practice:
ecclesiastical architecture. It was his stunning
churches, however, including San Giorgio
Maggiore and Il Redentore, that established
Palladio’s lasting renown.
In this fascinating and beautifully illustrated
book, Tracy E. Cooper organizes Palladio’s
work in Venice according to different types
of patrons. She discusses his major monuments
as well as less well-known work for
charitable foundations, convents, triumphal
processions, and the rebuilding of the Ducal
Palace. She tells the compelling story of an
established architect breaking into a new
market and of a Renaissance city in the midst
of sweeping change.

In this book, the first to consider the development
of Gothic architecture in twelfth- and
thirteenth-century Normandy, Lindy Grant
examines a period of profound social, cultural,
and political change. She establishes the
first reliable chronology of buildings while
providing sharp insights into Normandy’s
medieval architecture and its patrons and
architects.

From Filippo Lippi to
Piero Della Francesca
Fra Carnevale and the Making of a
Renaissance Master
Keith Christiansen et al.
In this fascinating
book, Fra
Carnevale—
heretofore a
mysterious,
quasi-legendary
figure—
emerges as a
well-defined
and pivotal artist
in Renaissance
Florence.
In presenting
their case, the
authors take
the reader from the workshop of Filippo Lippi
in Florence to Urbino, capital of Federico
da Montefeltro’s duchy in the region of the
Marches. It was a road most memorably traveled
by Piero della Francesca, who worked
in Florence in 1439 and became Federico’s
favorite artist. This book shows that other
lesser known artists like Fra Carnevale also
took the same path. With hundreds of exquisite
illustrations, many of little-known works,
this book transforms our knowledge of an
important chapter in the history of Renaissance
art.

Origins of European Printmaking
Fifteenth-Century Woodcuts and Their Public
Peter Parshall and Rainer Schoch; With contributions by
Richard S. Field, Peter Schmidt, and David Areford
This highly anticipated and beautifully illustrated book examines
the evolution of early printmaking in late medieval Europe. Through
their means of production and the evidence of their utility, prints are
explored in a broad social and economic context. Key topics include
the complex problem of reconstructing the beginnings of the European
woodcut; the practice of copying and dissemination of models endemic
to the medium; and the varied functions of the print from the spiritual to the secular.
The Origins of European Printmaking is an essential book for art historians, students, and
collectors, as well as the general reader with an interest in medieval history and culture.

Titian and Tragic
Painting
Aristotle’s “Poetics” and the Rise of the
Modern Artist
Thomas Puttfarken
Late in his life Titian created a series of paintings—the
“Four Sinners,” the “poesie” for his
patron Philip II of Spain, and the “Final Tragedies”—that
were dark in tone and content,
full of pathos and physical suffering. In this
major reinterpretation of Titian’s art, Thomas
Puttfarken shows that the often dramatic and
violent subject matter of these works were
influenced by discussions of Aristotle’s Poetics
that permeated learned discourse in Italy in
the mid-sixteenth century.

and part social history, independent historian
Tanner records the results of his world travels
in search of the remaining vestiges of Celtic
culture. . . . He provides not only a portrait
of modern society in flux in these regions but
also a picture of each society’s rich history. . . .
[A] thoughtful book.”—Publishers Weekly

cultural history of the Celtic people. . . . His
experience reads like a travelogue and an insightful
history with an emphasis on cultural
