2HistoryThe trials, troubles and triumphsfor men returning home after theend of World War Two—agripping story that’s in danger ofbeing lost to national memoryRAF soldier being fitted with a demob suit. Imperial War Museum.DemobbedComing Home After World War TwoAlan AllportSnapshots of gaiety and celebration—the street parties, the victoryspeeches—is often how we think of Britain in 1945. But the yearsfollowing the end of World War II were far from a ‘golden age’ of prideand self-confidence. The country was troubled though triumphant,subject to continued rationing and political change. Wracked by socialdisorder, austerity and disillusion, Britain was exhausted—and it wasthe return of those men who had fought for their country who seemedto be a root cause of the trouble.Alan Allport was born in Whiston,England, and grew up in EastYorkshire. An expert on the SecondWorld War, he is currently apostdoctoral lecturer at Princeton.Demobbed is the real story of what happened when millions ofex-servicemen returned home. Most had been absent for years, and thejoy of arrival was often clouded with ambivalence, regrets and fears.Returning soldiers faced both practical and psychological problems,from reasserting their place in the family home to rejoining a muchalteredlabour force. Civilians worried that their homecoming heroeshad been barbarised by their experiences and would bring crime andviolence back from the battlefield. ‘Problem veterans’ preoccupied theentire country. Alan Allport draws on their personal letters and diaries,on newspapers, reports, novels and films to illuminate the darker sideof the homecoming experience for ex-servicemen, their families andsociety at large.“Wonderfully researched, sensitively written and often very moving,Demobbed tells an important, underappreciated story that stillresonates today.”—David KynastonOctober336 pp. 229x152mm. 16 b/w illus.ISBN 978-0-300-14043-9 £20.00*

6ScienceFor readers of Hofstadter’sGödel, Escher, Bach, afascinating look at the hiddenmeaning in matter“Wagner presents a new way oflooking at the relationship betweenscience and ourselves, and ofthinking about some very oldarguments. This is a book forreaders of Douglas Hofstadter,Karl Popper, and RichardDawkins.”—Jonathan Kaplan,Oregon State University“The full-blooded, dynamicalthinking of a scientist at the heightof his creative powers, this is abreathtakingly original andintellectually exciting synthesis of allthat biology has taught us of howscience relates to the world.”—Günter Wagner, Yale UniversityOctober272 pp. 234x156mm.ISBN 978-0-300-14923-4 £20.00*Paradoxical LifeMeaning, Matter, and the Powerof Human ChoiceAndreas WagnerWhat can a fingernail tell us about the mysteries of creation? In onesense, a nail is merely a hunk of mute matter, yet in another, it’s aninformation superhighway quite literally at our fingertips. Everymoment, streams of molecular signals direct our cells to move, flatten,swell, shrink, divide or die. Andreas Wagner’s ambitious new bookexplores this hidden web of unimaginably complex interactions in everyliving being. In the process, he unveils a host of paradoxesunderpinning our understanding of modern biology, contradictions heconsiders gatekeepers at the frontiers of knowledge.Though we tend to think of concepts in such mutually exclusive pairsas mind-matter, self-other and nature-nurture, Wagner argues that theseopposing ideas are not actually separate. Indeed, they are as inextricablyconnected as the two sides of a coin. Through a tour of modernbiological marvels, Wagner illustrates how this paradoxical tension has aprofound effect on the way we define the world around us. ParadoxicalLife is thus not only a unique account of modern biology. It ultimatelyserves a radical—and optimistic—outlook for humans and the worldwe help create.Andreas Wagner is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at theUniversity of Zurich and an external faculty member at the Santa FeInstitute. Educated at Yale University and at the University of Vienna,Wagner focuses his research on the evolution and evolvability ofbiological systems.

Science/Psychology 7A fascinating, deeply researchedexploration of the differencesbetween the brain’s left andright hemispheres, and theireffect on society, history andcultureAn fMRI scan of the brain, highlighting Broca’s area (which controls speech and language).The Master and His EmissaryThe Divided Brain and theMaking of the Western WorldIain McGilchristWhy is the brain divided? The difference between right and lefthemispheres has been puzzled over for centuries. In a book ofunprecedented scope, Iain McGilchrist draws on a vast body of recentbrain research, illustrated with case histories, to reveal that thedifference is profound—not just this or that function, but two whole,coherent, but incompatible ways of experiencing the world. The lefthemisphere is detail oriented, prefers mechanisms to living things andis inclined to self-interest, where the right hemisphere has greaterbreadth, flexibility and generosity. This division helps explain theorigins of music and language, and casts new light on the history ofphilosophy, as well as on some mental illnesses.“A work of grand ambition, brilliantlyachieved; eloquent, moving, andremarkable for the depth and scope ofits scholarship.”—Professor Louis Sass,Rutgers UniversityOctober448 pp. 234x156mm.40 b/w + 15 colour illus.ISBN 978-0-300-14878-7 £25.00*In the second part of the book, he takes the reader on a journeythrough the history of Western culture, illustrating the tension betweenthese two worlds as revealed in the thought and belief of thinkers andartists, from Aeschylus to Magritte. He argues that, despite its inferiorgrasp of reality, the left hemisphere is increasingly taking precedence inthe modern world, with potentially disastrous consequences. This istruly a tour de force that should excite interest in a wide readership.Iain McGilchrist is a former Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, wherehe taught literature before training in medicine. He has an interest inbrain research and now works privately in London, where he was aconsultant and clinical director at the Bethlem Royal and MaudsleyHospital.Translation rights: David Higham Associates Ltd, London

History 9This stimulating history ofearly Christianity revisits theextraordinary birth of a worldreligion and gives a new slanton a familiar storyCharles Freeman, a specialist on theancient world and its legacy, is theauthor of numerous books includingThe Closing of the Western Mind andEgypt, Greece and Rome.September400 pp. 234x156mm. 26 b/w illus.ISBN 978-0-300-12581-8 £25.00*A New History of Early ChristianityCharles FreemanThe relevance of Christianity is as hotly contested today as it has everbeen. A New History of Early Christianity shows how our currentdebates are rooted in the many controversies surrounding the birth ofthe religion and the earliest attempts to resolve them. Charles Freeman’smeticulous historical account of Christianity from its birth in Judaea inthe first century A.D. to the emergence of Western and Easternchurches by A.D. 600 reveals that it was a distinctive, vibrant, andincredibly diverse movement brought into order at the cost ofintellectual and spiritual vitality. Against the conventional narrative ofthe inevitable ‘triumph’ of a single distinct Christianity, Freeman showsthat there was a host of competing Christianities, many of which had asmuch claim to authenticity as those that eventually dominated.Tracing the astonishing transformation that the early Christian churchunderwent—from sporadic niches of Christian communities survivingin the wake of a horrific crucifixion to sanctioned alliance with thestate—Charles Freeman shows how freedom of thought was curtailedby the development of the concept of faith. The imposition of ‘correctbelief’ and an institutional framework that enforced orthodoxy wereboth consolidating and stifling. Uncovering the church’s relationshipswith Judaism, Gnosticism, Greek philosophy and Greco-Romansociety, Freeman offers dramatic new accounts of Paul, the resurrection,and the church fathers and emperors.“A masterful book, and a pleasure to read.”—Ward Blanton,University of GlasgowTranslation rights: A.M.

The Pashas, merchants and travellers fromEurope, discovered an Islamic world that was alluring, dynamic anddiverse.Ranging across two and a half centuries and through the great cities ofIstanbul, Aleppo and Alexandria, James Mather tells the forgotten storyof the men of the Levant Company who sought their fortunes in theOttoman Empire. Their trade brought to the region not onlymerchants but also ambassadors and envoys, pilgrims and chaplains,families and servants, aristocratic tourists and roving antiquarians.Unlike the nabobs who gathered their fortunes in Bengal, they bothrespected and learned from the culture they encountered, and theirlives provide a fascinating insight into the meeting of East and Westbefore the age of European imperialism.James Mather was educated atCambridge University and at Harvard,where he was a Kennedy scholar.He is now a commercial barrister inLondon.Intriguing, intimate and original, Pashas brings to life an extraordinarytale of faraway visitors beguiled by a mysterious world of Islam.“An arresting and timely addition to the literature of Western-Islamicrelationships.

14 PhilosophyThese spirited conversationsbetween the philosopher and hisgodson provide one of the mostintimate, illuminating and honestportraits of Sartre ever publishedJanuary 288 pp. 234x156mm.Cloth ISBN 978-0-300-15107-7 £30.00*Paper ISBN 978-0-300-15901-1 £15.00*Talking with SartreConversations and DebatesEdited and Translated by John GerassiWhat would it be like to be privy to the mind of one of the twentiethcentury’s greatest thinkers? John Gerassi had just this opportunity;as a child, his mother and father were very close friends withJean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, and the couple became forhim like surrogate parents. Authorised by Sartre to write his biography,Gerassi conducted a long series of interviews between 1970 and 1974,which he has now edited to produce this revelatory and breathtakingportrait of one of the world’s most famous intellectuals.Through the interviews, with both their informalities and theirtensions, Sartre’s greater complexities emerge. In particular, we seeSartre wrestling with the apparent contradiction between his views onfreedom and the influence of social conditions on our choices andactions. We also gain insight into his perspectives on the Spanish CivilWar, World War II and the disintegration of colonialism.These conversations add an intimate dimension to Sartre’s moreabstract ideas. With remarkable rigour and intensity, they also provide aclear lens through which to view the major conflagrations of the lastcentury.John Gerassi, currently Professor of Political Science at Queens College,City University of New York, is the author of Jean-Paul Sartre:Hated Conscience of His Century.Who Was Jacques Derrida?An Intellectual BiographyDavid MikicsWho Was Jacques Derrida? is the first intellectual biography of Derrida,the first full-scale appraisal of his career, his influence and hisphilosophical roots. It is also the first attempt to define his crucialimportance as the ambassador of ‘theory’, the phenomenon that hashad a profound influence on academic life in the humanities.Mikics lucidly and sensitively describes for the general reader Derrida’sdeep connection to his Jewish roots. He succinctly defines his vision ofphilosophy as a discipline that resists psychology. While pointing outthe flaws of that vision and Derrida’s betrayal of his most adamantlyexpounded beliefs, Mikics ultimately concludes that ‘Derrida wasneither so brilliantly right nor so badly wrong as his enthusiasts andcritics, respectively, claimed’.The first full-scale appraisal of thelife and work of Jacques Derrida,one of the most influential thinkersof the twentieth-centuryDavid Mikics is Professor of English at the University of Houston.He published his last book, A New Handbook of Literary Terms, withYale.January288 pp. 210x140mm.ISBN 978-0-300-11542-0 £25.00*

Some of the greatest poets of human historywrote in Persian—among them Rumi, Omar Khayyam and Saadi—and Katouzian discusses and occasionally quotes their work. In histhoughtful analysis of Iranian society, Katouzian argues that theabsolute and arbitrary power traditionally enjoyed by Persian/Iranianrulers has resulted in an unstable society where fear and short-termthinking dominate.A magisterial history, this book also serves as an excellent backgroundto the role of Iran in the contemporary world.Homa Katouzian teaches Iranian history and Persian literature atSt. Antony’s College and the Oriental Institute, University of Oxford.Iranian by birth, he is the editor of the journal Iranian Studies.The story of western writersbeguiled by ChinaJuly288 pp. 220x110mm. 150 colour illus.ISBN 978-0-300-15436-8 £19.99*The Lure of ChinaWriters from Marco Polo to J. G. BallardFrances WoodChina has intrigued the West for over two thousand years. From Romantales of silent silk merchants to eyewitness accounts by twentieth centuryjournalists, stories of China have stimulated writers and attracted readers.Medieval travellers like Marco Polo created a romantic picture of adistant and exotic land while subsequent Jesuit and diplomatic missionssought to correct the more lurid depictions with first-hand accounts.In the mid-nineteenth century China was opened to travellers,collectors and writers of all sorts. Explorers were drawn to theSilk Road and its buried treasures. Writers like André Malraux andVicki Baum found fame with books set in Peking and Shanghai, andSomerset Maugham with his enchanting vignettes. More recentlyErnest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn reported from China, as didW. H. Auden, Christopher Isherwood and the American journalistEdgar Snow. Frances Wood tracks the visits of Harold Acton, OsbertSitwell, Noel Coward, George Bernard Shaw and Bertrand Russell, andthe Chinese childhoods of Pearl Buck and J. G. Ballard. “It was as ifChina made writers of them all”, Wood observes, as she trawls a vastlibrary of fiction, memoir and travelogue in this captivating andbeautifully illustrated journey.Frances Wood is Curator of Chinese Collections at the British Library.Among her recent publications are The Silk Road and The First Emperor.Translation rights: Joint Publishing Co Ltd, Hong Kong

The Art of Not Being GovernedPolitics/Environment 19An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast AsiaJames C. ScottFor two thousand years the disparate groups that now reside in Zomia(a mountainous region the size of Europe that consists of portions ofseven Asian countries) have fled the projects of the organised statesocieties that surround them—slavery, conscription, taxes, corvéelabour, epidemics and warfare. This book, essentially an ‘anarchisthistory’, is the first examination of the huge literature on state-makingwhose author evaluates why people would deliberately and reactivelyremain stateless. Among the strategies employed by the people ofZomia to remain stateless are physical dispersion in rugged terrain;agricultural practices that enhance mobility; pliable ethnic identities;devotion to prophetic, millenarian leaders; and maintenance of alargely oral culture that allows them to reinvent their histories andgenealogies as they move between and around states.A radically different approach tohistory, telling the story of thedeliberately stateless peoples whooccupy a vast tract of land in Asiacalled ZomiaOctober464 pp. 234x156mm.2 b/w illus. + 7 mapsISBN 978-0-300-15228-9 £20.00*James Scott tells the story of the peoples of Zomia and their unlikelyodyssey in search of self-determination. He redefines our views onAsian politics, history, demographics and even our fundamental ideasabout what constitutes civilisation, and challenges us with a radicallydifferent approach to history that presents events from the perspectiveof stateless peoples and views state-making as a form of ‘internalcolonialism’. Scott’s work represents a new way to think of area studiesthat will be applicable to other runaway, fugitive communities.James C.

Saleem Ali’s pioneeringbook links human wants and needs by providing a natural history ofconsumption and materialism with scientific detail and humanisticnuance.

In evaluating the impact of treasure consumption onresource-rich countries, he argues that there is a way to consumeresponsibly and alleviate global poverty.Saleem H.

22 History/LanguageThe most thoroughly researchedand accurate history ofCzechoslovakia to appear in EnglishCzechoslovakiaThe State That FailedMary HeimannThis book, the most thoroughly researched and accurate history ofCzechoslovakia to appear in English, tells the story of the country fromits founding in 1918 to partition in 1992—from fledgling democracythrough Nazi occupation, Communist rule, invasion by the SovietUnion to, at last, democracy again.The common Western view of Czechoslovakia has been that of a smallnation which was sacrificed at Munich in 1938, betrayed to the Sovietsin 1948 and which rebelled heroically against the repression of theSoviet Union during the Prague Spring of 1968. Mary Heimanndispels these myths and shows how intolerant nationalism and anunhelpful sense of victimhood led Czech and Slovak authorities todiscriminate against minorities, compete with the Nazis to persecuteJews and Gypsies and pave the way for the Communist police state.She also reveals Alexander Dubcek, held to be a national hero andstandard-bearer for democracy, as an unprincipled apparatchik.

In thistimely book, Claude Hagège seeks to make clear the magnitude of thecultural loss represented by the crisis of language death.By focusing on the relationship of language to culture and the world ofideas, Hagège shows how languages are themselves crucial repositoriesof culture; the traditions, proverbs and knowledge of our ancestorsreside in the language we use. His wide-ranging examination covers allcontinents and language families to uncover not only how languagesdie, but also how they can be revitalised—for example in theremarkable case of Hebrew. In a striking metaphor, Hagège likenslanguages to bonfires of social behaviour that leave behind sparks evenafter they die; from these sparks languages can be rekindled and madeto live again.Claude Hagège is the Chair of Linguistic Theory at the Collège de Francein Paris.

Lucid, readable and scrupulously researched, this isa work of humane engagement with a period in which a tragically violent standard was set forEuropean conquest across the world.“This is a fine book, a rare combination of careful scholarship and story-telling ability thatbreathes vivid life into the events of five centuries past. It is also a salutary reminder that thediscovery of mankind is a process not yet complete.”—Kevin Rushby, The Guardian“This book is a wonderful work of scholarship. While it vividly conveys the European fascination, confusion and puzzlementwith the peoples of the Canary Islands, the Caribbean and north east Brazil, soberly it records the violence and changingattitudes which followed, as the early years of cross-cultural contact were overtaken by the harsh reality of conquest andenslavement.”—John Appleby, BBC History MagazineDavid Abulafia is Professor of Mediterranean History at Gonville and Caius College, University of Cambridge.September 408 pp. 234x156mm. 30 b/w illus.

Conventionally viewed as worthless, incapable ofsustained policy, and of significance only through sporadic displays ofill-directed energy or a stubborn adherence to greedy and ambitiousfavourites, he has been presented as fit only to be deposed and replacedby someone more worthy of the throne.This definitive biography, the fruit of a lifetime’s study, does notpresent Edward II as a heroic or successful king: the mere fact of hisdeposition after a turbulent reign of nearly twenty years is proofenough that it went terribly wrong. But Seymour Phillips’ scrutiny ofthe multitude of available sources shows that a richer picture emerges,in line with the complexity of events and of the man himself.If Edward II was not a successful king, neither was he fundamentallydifferent in many ways from most English monarchs. The biographystrikes a deft balance, taking full account of the problems the kingfaced in England, Scotland and Ireland, and in his relations withFrance. It also tackles the contentious issue of whether Edward II didnot die in 1327, murdered in barbaric circumstances, but lived on as acaptive in England and then a wanderer on the Continent. Eighthundred years on, a king’s life is properly examined.Seymour Phillips is Emeritus Professor of Medieval History, UniversityCollege, Dublin, and a Member of the Royal Irish Academy.The English Monarchs Series27This incisive examination of theorigins of the modern economyduring the Industrial Revolutionalso explains why this phenomenoncame to fruition in BritainSeptember352 pp. 234x156mm.ISBN 978-0-300-12455-2 £30.00*The Enlightened EconomyAn Economic History of Britain 1700–1850Joel MokyrThis book focuses on the importance of ideological and institutionalfactors in the rapid development of the British economy during theyears between the Glorious Revolution and the Crystal PalaceExhibition. Joel Mokyr shows that we cannot understand the IndustrialRevolution without recognising the importance of the intellectual seachanges of Britain’s Age of Enlightenment.In a vigorous discussion, Mokyr goes beyond the standard explanationsthat credit geographical factors, the role of markets, politics and societyto show that the beginnings of modern economic growth in Britaindepended a great deal on what key players knew and believed, and howthose beliefs affected their economic behaviour. He argues that Britainled the rest of Europe into the Industrial Revolution because it wasthere that the optimal intersection of ideas, culture, institutions andtechnology existed to make rapid economic growth achievable.His wide-ranging evidence covers sectors of the British economy oftenneglected, such as the service industries.Joel Mokyr is Robert H.

28 HistoryNazi Propaganda for the Arab WorldJeffrey HerfJeffrey Herf, a leading scholar in the field, offers the most extensive examination to date of Nazipropaganda activities targeting Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East during World War II and theHolocaust. He draws extensively on previously unused and little-known archival resources, includingthe shocking transcriptions of the ‘Axis Broadcasts in Arabic’ radio programmes, which convey astrongly anti-Semitic message.Herf explores the intellectual, political and cultural context in which German and European radicalanti-Semitism was found to resonate with similar views rooted in a selective appropriation of thetraditions of Islam. Pro-Nazi Arab exiles in wartime Berlin, including Haj el-Husseini and Rashidel-Kilani, collaborated with the Nazis in constructing their Middle East propaganda campaign. Byintegrating the political and military history of the war in the Middle East with the intellectual andcultural dimensions of the propagandistic diffusion of Nazi ideology, Herf offers the most thorough examination to date of thisimportant chapter in the history of World War II. Importantly, he also shows how the anti-Semitism promoted by the Nazipropaganda effort contributed to the anti-Semitism exhibited by adherents of radical forms of Islam in the Middle East today.Jeffrey Herf is a Professor in the Department of History at the University of Maryland in College Park. He is the author ofseveral books, including Reactionary Modernism: Technology, Culture, and Politics in Weimar and the Third Reich, The JewishEnemy: Nazi Propaganda During World War II and the Holocaust and Divided Memory: The Nazi Past in the Two Germanys.January 384 pp. 234x156mm. ISBN 978-0-300-14579-3 £20.00*Genocide Before the HolocaustCathie CarmichaelThere is an appalling symmetry to the many instances of genocide that the late nineteenth- and earlytwentieth-century world witnessed. In the wake of the breakup of the Hapsburg, Ottoman andRomanov empires, minority populations throughout those lands were persecuted, expelled andeliminated. The reason for the deplorable decimations of communities—Jews in Imperial Russia andUkraine; Ottoman Assyrians, Armenians and Muslims from the Caucasus and Balkans—was,Cathie Carmichael contends, located in the very roots of the new nation-states arising from the imperialrubble. The question of who should be included in the nation—and which groups were now to bedeemed ‘suspect’ or ‘alien’—was one that preoccupied and divided Europe long before the Holocaust.Examining all the major eliminations of communities in Europe up until 1941, Carmichael showshow hotbeds of nationalism, racism and developmentalism resulted in devastating manifestations ofgenocidal ideology. Dramatic, perceptive and poignant, this is the story of disappearing civilisations—precursors to one ofhumanity’s worst atrocities, and part of the legacy of genocide in the modern world.“breaks new ground in charting the genesis of exclusionary thinking and violence. The interdisciplinary approach isunmatched: any reader will gain new insights about how generations came to develop, understand and also resist mass killing.”—Ben Lieberman, Fitchburg State University, author of Terrible Fate: Ethnic Cleansing and the Making of Modern EuropeCathie Carmichael is Senior Lecturer in Modern European History at the University of East Anglia.

Bauer brings together all available documents, testimonies and scholarship,including previously unpublished material from the Yad Vashem archives, pertaining to ninerepresentative shtetls. In line with his belief that ‘history is the story of real people in real situations’,Bauer tells moving stories about what happened to individual Jews and their communities.Over a million people, approximately a quarter of all victims of the Holocaust, came from the shtetls.Bauer writes of the relations between Jews and non-Jews (including the actions of rescuers); hedescribes attempts to create underground resistance groups, some people’s escape to the forests andJewish participation in the Soviet partisan movement.

30 HistoryOceans of WineMadeira and theOrganization of theAtlantic World, 1640–1815David HancockThis innovative book examines how,between 1640 and 1815, thePortuguese Madeira wine tradeshaped the Atlantic world andAmerican society. David Hancockpainstakingly reconstructs the lives ofproducers, distributors and consumers, as well as the economicand social structures created by globalising commerce, to revealan intricate interplay between individuals and market forces.Using voluminous archives pertaining to wine, many of thempreviously unexamined, Hancock offers a dramatic newperspective on the economic and social development of theAtlantic world by challenging traditional interpretations thathave identified states and empires as the driving force behindtrade. He demonstrates convincingly just how decentralised theearly modern commercial system was, as well as how selforganised,a system that emerged from the actions of marketparticipants working across imperial lines. The networks theyformed began as commercial structures and expanded into socialand political systems that were conduits not only for wine butalso for ideas about reform, revolution and independence.David Hancock is an Associate Professor of History,University of Michigan.The Lewis Walpole Series in Eighteenth-Century StudiesOctober 648 pp. 234x156mm. 57 b/w + 16 colour illus.ISBN 978-0-300-13605-0 £40.00*The Culture of Naturein Britain, 1680–1860P.

HarmanThis wide-ranging book investigatesthe emergence of modern ideasabout the natural world in Britainfrom 1680–1860 through anexamination of the cultural valuescommon to the sciences, art,literature and natural theology.During this critical period, spannedby Newtonian science and natural theology, Darwin’s Origin ofSpecies, and Ruskin’s Modern Painters, the fundamentalconception of nature and humanity’s place within it changed.P. M. Harman calls for a new understanding of the variedways in which the British comprehended natural beauty, fromthe perception of nature as a ‘design’ flowing from God’screative power to the Darwinian naturalistic aesthetic. Harmanconnects a variety of differing views of nature deriving fromreligion, science, visual art, philosophy and literature todevelopments in agriculture, manufacture and the daily livesof individuals.

Livesey shows how civilsociety was first invented as an idea of renewed community forthe provincial and defeated elites in the provinces of the BritishEmpire and how this innovation allowed them to enjoy libertywithout directly participating in the empire’s governance, untilthe limits of the concept were revealed.The concept of civil society continues to have direct relevance forcontemporary political theory and action. Livesey demonstrateshow western governments, for example, have appealed to thevalues of civil society in their projections of power in Bosnia andIraq. Civil society has become an object central to currentideological debate, and this book offers a thought-provokingdiscussion of its beginnings, objectives and current nature.James Livesey has taught at Trinity College Dublin andHarvard University and is Reader at the University of Sussex.The Lewis Walpole Series in Eighteenth-Century StudiesOctober 304 pp. 234x156mm.ISBN 978-0-300-13902-0 £35.00*Dominionfrom Sea to SeaPacific Ascendancyand American PowerBruce CumingsAmerica is the first world power toinhabit an immense land mass openat both ends to the world’s twolargest oceans—the Atlantic and thePacific.

The sentence was militarydegradation and life imprisonment on Devil’s Island, a hell hole off thecoast of French Guiana. Five years later, the case was overturned andeventually Dreyfus was completely exonerated. Meanwhile, the DreyfusAffair tore France apart, pitting Dreyfusards—committed to restoringfreedom and honour to an innocent man convicted of a crimecommitted by another—against nationalists, anti-Semites andmilitarists who preferred having an innocent man rot to exposing thecrimes committed by ministers of war and the army’s top brass in orderto secure Dreyfus’s conviction.Was the Dreyfus Affair merely another instance of the rise in France ofa virulent form of anti-Semitism?

A slaveowner himself, Jeremiah was falsely accused by whites—who resentedhis success as a Charleston harbor pilot—of sowing insurrection amongslaves at the behest of the British.Chief among the accusers was Henry Laurens, Charleston’s leadingpatriot, a slave owner and former slave trader, who would later becomethe president of the Continental Congress.

Though a free man,Jeremiah was tried in a slave court and sentenced to death. In August,1775, he was hanged and his body burned.J.

32 History/PoliticsThe ItalianInquisitionChristopher F. BlackThe Italian Inquisition, or HolyOffice, was established in 1542,stimulated partly by the earlierSpanish operation. CertainlySpain’s ‘black legend’ affectedopinions of the Inquisition in Italy,but as this pioneering book shows,there were significant differencesbetween their operations, targets and casualties.In this history of the Italian Inquisition, Christopher F. Blackcharts how it developed and changed over time. He maps itscumbersome means of command, supervision and action, aswell as its role as a surprisingly approachable regulatory bodyworking within communities. Ranging right across the Italianpanorama, and rooting his enquiry in striking individual cases,Black uncovers Inquisitional procedure from denunciation topunishment. This scrupulous and richly rewarding book showshow the Inquisition shaped Italy’s religious and social worlds.“Christopher Black has delivered the book that historians ofearly modern Europe have all been waiting for . . . a pleasure toread and will certainly live on as a significant contribution to arange of fields for many years to come.”—David Gentilcore,University of LeicesterChristopher Black is Professor of History at the University ofGlasgow.

Five months later,thousands of Muslims inundated thenewspaper with outpourings of angerand grief by phone, email and fax; fromAsia to Europe Muslims took to thestreets in protest. This book is the first comprehensive investigationof the conflict that aroused debates around the world on freedomof expression, blasphemy and the nature of modern Islam.Klausen interviewed politicians in the Middle East, Muslimleaders in Europe, the Danish editors and cartoonists and theDanish imam who started the controversy. Following thewinding trail of protests across the world, she deconstructs thearguments and motives that drove the escalation of theincreasingly globalised conflict. She concludes that the Muslimreaction to the cartoons was not—as was commonly assumed—aspontaneous emotional reaction arising out of the clash ofWestern and Islamic civilisations. Rather it was orchestrated, firstby those with vested interests in elections in Denmark andEgypt, and later by Islamic extremists seeking to destabilisegovernments in Pakistan, Lebanon, Libya and Nigeria. Klausenshows how the cartoon crisis was, therefore, ultimately a politicalconflict rather than a colossal cultural misunderstanding.Jytte Klausen is Professor of Comparative Politics at BrandeisUniversity.January 256 pp. 234x156mm. 8 b/w + 4 colour illus.ISBN 978-0-300-12472-9 £20.00*Not available for sale in India and PakistanIdeology and InquisitionThe World of the Censorsin Early MexicoMartin Austin NesvigThis book is the first comprehensivetreatment in English of the ideologyand practice of the Inquisitionalcensors, focusing on the case of Mexicofrom the 1520s to the 1630s.

Art 33A unique study that integratesarchitectural history,musicology and acoustics tothrow new light on the sacredarchitecture and music ofRenaissance VeniceSound and Spacein Renaissance VeniceArchitecture, Music, AcousticsDeborah Howard and Laura MorettiDuring the sixteenth-century, Venice was the setting for some of themost admired churches in the whole western canon, while majoradvances in the sophistication, richness and religious expression ofchoral polyphony led to pioneering developments in the evolution ofstereophonic sound.Deborah Howard is Professor ofArchitectural History, University ofCambridge, and Fellow of St John’sCollege, Cambridge. Her booksinclude Venice and the East:The Impact of the Islamic World onVenetian Architecture 1100–1500 andThe Architectural History of Venice.Laura Moretti is Scott Opler ResearchFellow in Architectural History,Worcester College, Oxford.October256 pp. 241x171mm.80 b/w + 40 colour illus.ISBN 978-0-300-14874-9 £30.00*The focus of this fascinating study is the direct relationship betweenarchitectural design and sacred music in Renaissance Venice. Thedesigns of two of the greatest architects of the Italian Renaissance,Sansovino and Palladio, are seen against the background of theinnovative polyphonic choral music in split-choir formation (corospezzato) pioneered in St Mark’s and disseminated as a result of the rapiddevelopment of music printing in Venice. Refined and elaborated, theseinnovations culminated in the sacred music of Monteverdi. The needsof elaborate state ceremonial stimulated the demand for musicalvirtuosity and imposing architectural settings, but the innovationsfiltered down to affect music in the simplest parish churches.The book combines historical research into the architectural andliturgical traditions of a dozen Venetian churches with the results of aparallel series of scientific surveys of the acoustic properties of thechosen buildings. The research culminated in a programme of in situchoral experiments and acoustic measurements, carried out in Veniceusing the celebrated choir of St John’s College, Cambridge, in 2007,revealing the strong awareness of acoustic effects on the part ofarchitects, musicians, patrons and churchmen of the Renaissance period.

Marcia Pointon offers an in-depth studythat, drawing on unpublished evidence, reveals the importance ofartefacts produced by jewellers and horologists, and their significance inshaping people’s understanding of the world they live in.Pointon explores the capacity of jewels—whether crimson coral ortranslucent pearls—not only to fascinate but also to create disorder andcontroversy throughout history: what is materially precious is invariablycontentious, whether in religious or in secular society; when what isprecious is not gold bars or bonds but finely crafted artefacts madefrom hard-won imported materials, the stakes are particularly high.The struggle for control of both material and meaning is paramount,whether in scientific discourse (as with John Ruskin’s crystallography)or in pictorial imagery, such as Poussin’s interpretation of the origin ofcoral. The presence of jewels can never be ignored and this remains sotoday whether in the bling favoured by international sports stars or the‘rocks’ borrowed for the Oscars.Marcia Pointon is Professor Emeritus in History of Art, Manchester University,and Honorary Research Fellow, Courtauld Institute of Art, London.January500 pp. 256x192mm.105 b/w + 25 colour illus.ISBN 978-0-300-12178-0 £45.00*Ruskin on Venice‘The Paradise of Cities’Robert HewisonFor John Ruskin, one of the leading cultural critics of the nineteenthcentury, Venice represented his ideal of civic society, where culture,government and faith were in creative harmony—‘The Paradise ofCities’. This was not the fallen city of the Renaissance, the Paradise Lostthat it became in his lifetime, but the Gothic Eden that he imaginedhad existed before the sixteenth century. In this elegant and compellingbook, Ruskin’s long and intricate relationship with the city is traced:from 1835 he watched Venice change from post-Napoleonic ruin to aprovince of the Austrian Empire, and then experience new ruin in therevolution of 1848. Venice was witness to the failure of his marriage,and, later, the collapse of his hopes for a new one. By the time ofRuskin’s final visit in 1888 the march of modernity had made Venice adead replica of its former glory.Drawing on the rich resources of Ruskin’s drawings, architecturalnotebooks and manuscripts (including previously unpublisheddaguerreotypes from Ruskin’s own collection), Hewison offers freshinsights into both Ruskin and Venice and reveals how Ruskin’s workand his connection with the city from youth to old age have helped toshape the image of the Venice we know today.Robert Hewison is Professor of Cultural Policy and Leadership Studies at the CityUniversity, London, Honorary Professor at Lancaster University and Associate,Demos.

The arts of industryencompassed both liberal and mechanical realms—not simply therepresentation of work in the fine art of painting, but the mechanical artsor skills involved in the processes of industry itself. Drawing on a wealth ofprimary sources, Celina Fox argues that mechanics and artisans used fourprincipal means to describe and rationalise their work: drawing, modelmaking,societies and publications. These four channels—the centralthemes of this engrossing book—provided the basis for experimentationand invention, for explanation and classification, validation andauthorisation, promotion and celebration, thus bringing them into thepublic domain and achieving progress as a true part of the Enlightenment.The book also examines the status of the mechanical arts from the medievalperiod to the seventeenth century and explains how and why entrepreneurs,mechanics and artisans presented themselves to the world in portraits, andhow industry was depicted in landscape and genre painting. The bookconcludes in the early nineteenth century when, despite the drive towardsspecialisation and exclusivity and the rise of the profession of engineer, thebroad sweep of the mechanical arts retained a distinct identity for far longerthan has generally been recognised. The debates their presence provokedconcerning the relationship of theory to practice and the problematicnature of art and technical education are still with us today.Published for The Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British ArtApostles of BeautyExhibitionThe Art Institute of Chicago,7/11/09 – 31/1/10January208 pp. 305x228mm.220 colour illus.ISBN 978-0-300-14113-9 £35.00*Arts and Crafts from Britain to ChicagoEdited by Judith A.

His training and early career coincidedwith the heyday of the Gothic Revival, in which style he designed ahandful of original churches. His most prolific period of practice sawthe triumph of the ‘Old English’ and ‘Queen Anne’ domestic styleswhich are largely associated with his name. A series of powerful urbanbuildings designed towards the end of Shaw’s career reveals him as oneof the foremost proponents of a revived classicism.In each of these styles the piquant originality of Shaw’s designs and thebrilliance of his planning captivated his contemporaries in thearchitectural and social world alike. He became the undisputed leadingarchitect of his day and the precursor of such different talents asLutyens and Voysey. In the United States, Shaw’s distinctivecontribution to English domestic architecture played a formative partin the evolution of the Shingle Style.This new edition of a major work offers a completely revised text andnew introduction and is now illustrated generously in colour, withmany specially commissioned photographs.Published for The Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art^Slobodan Curcic ´ ´ is Professor in theDepartment of Art and Archaeology,Princeton University, and Director ofthe Program in Hellenic Studies,Princeton University.January608 pp. 290x248mm.600 b/w + 100 colour illus.ISBN 978-0-300-11570-3 £50.00*Architecture in the BalkansFrom Diocletian to Süleyman the Magnificent, 300–1550^Slobodan Curcic ´ ´This book is the first of its kind to discuss the history of the BalkanPeninsula from late antiquity to the height of the Ottoman era byfocusing on architecture as its principal gauge. In doing so, it transcendsvarious established conventions in scholarship to present the architecturalheritage in the Balkans in a manner that^is accessible andcomprehensible. Slobodan Curcic ´ ´ challenges notions derived from‘modern’ national historiographies that view architectural heritage withinthe confines of modern political boundaries as ‘national’ heritage withprivileged ‘national’ status and relevance, that frame historical ‘periods’ byrelying on western art-historical conventions and that perceive historicalevents and developments as direct determinants of cultural history.Throughout the book architecture is viewed as a function of distinctiveneeds (social, political, religious), distinctive means (economic,technical know-how, material availability) and distinctive goals(aesthetic, propagandistic, protective). As a result, the book covers thefull range of architectural enterprises, from simple residential buildings,to public monumental structures; from fortifications, to utilitarianbuildings (cisterns, bridges, etc). The urban context of architecture isemphasised, while its role in rural settings is used as a gauge of otherdistinctive phenomena.Illustrated with several hundreds of photographs and drawings, most ofthem specially commissioned, the book presents a generally unknownbody of material in a distinctive, unprecedented manner.

With sharp wit and dramatic shifts of scale, theseimages flouted the serious conventions of photography in the 1860s and 1870s. Often madeby women for albums, they reveal the educated minds and accomplished hands of theirmakers, taking on the new theory of evolution, addressing the changing role of photography and challenging the strictconventions of aristocratic society. Although these photocollages may seem wonderfully odd to us now, the authors argue thatthey are actually perfectly in keeping with the Victorian sensibility that embraced juxtaposition and variety.This book, the first to examine fully the phenomenon of Victorian photocollage, presents imagery that has rarely been reproduced.Illuminating text provides a history of Victorian photocollage albums, identifies the common motifs found in them and demonstratesthe distinctly modern character of the medium, which paved the way for the avant-garde potential of both photography and collage.Exhibition scheduleArt Institute of Chicago, 10/10/09 – 3/1/10; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2/2/10 – 9/5/10Elizabeth Siegel is Associate Curator of Photography at the Art Institute of Chicago.

SiegfriedJean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780–1867) produced a body ofwork that strongly appealed to his contemporaries while disconcertingthem. The odd qualities of his work continue to fascinate scholars,critics and artists today. For the most part scholars have sought to makesense of that strangeness either by examining the vicissitudes of theartist’s critical reputation or by appealing to his supposed intellectualand psychic limitations. Siegfried argues that this strangeness needs tobe located in the complex and richly invested nature of the work itselfas well as in Ingres’s very powerful, if often perverse, sense of artisticproject. She shows that his major re-thinking of pictorial narrative—inhis classical literary, historical and religious subjects—was as central tohis achievement as his distinctive rendering of the female figure inclassical nudes and portraits. He was engaged in a complex process ofgiving visual form to narrative, which he did in new and unusual waysthat involved him in a close reading of the texts on which he drew,including authors such as Homer, Virgil, Ariosto and Dante, as well asreligious narratives and stories about medieval and early modern Frenchhistory.This handsomely illustrated and elegantly written book takes fullaccount of the different and seemingly divergent aspects of Ingres’swork and encompasses a wide range of his activities as an artist and ofthe different registers in which he operated, including his obsessiveresearch into source material, his proliferating drawing practice and hisintensive working and reworking of his finished paintings.Romy Golan is Associate Professor ofArt History at CUNY Graduate Center.She is the author of Modernity andNostalgia: Art and Politics in Francebetween the Wars.MuralnomadThe Paradox of Wall Painting, Europe 1927–1957Romy GolanFrequently political and part of a concerted effort by artists and patronsduring the early decades of the twentieth century to address a broadpublic, murals and large mural-like works often had a greater visibilityand larger audience than paintings that are acknowledged today asmasterpieces. Large and monumental, and made in many differentmedia, they were also often ephemeral: their lifespan typically endedwith the closing of an exhibition.In this fascinating book, Romy Golan explores murals and mural-likeworks in Europe from the end of the First World War to the late1950s, beginning with Monet’s work on the Nymphéas installation inthe Musée de l’Orangerie and ending dramatically with Le Corbusier’shuge tapestries in Chandigarh, India. Along the way, she charts thework of Léger, Le Corbusier, Sironi, Pagano, Picasso and others, andmakes a convincing and elegant case for the important position muralart, and critical debates on monumental public painting, occupied inthis period.October 256 pp. 280x230mm.120 b/w + 40 colour illus.ISBN 978-0-300-14153-5 £40.00*

There can be found the highly distinctive houses of theseventeenth-century minor gentry, and the substantial yeoman farmersand clothiers. To the north-west are the still sparsely populated YorkshireDales – Ruskin’s ‘truly wonderful country’, its beauties and curiositiesadmired by tourists since the eighteenth century. On the gentler easternedge of the Pennines are the major survivals of the Cistercian Order:Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal, the nearby cathedral town of Riponand spa town of Harrogate, and the opulently agricultural ‘broad acres’beyond, forming part of the Vale of York, counting among its monumentsthe magnificent designed landscape of Bramham Park.Peter Leach is a Yorkshire-based architectural historian. He is the authorof the definitive book on James Paine.Newcastle and GatesheadPevsner City GuideGrace McCombieA lively and authoritative survey of the buildings of Tyneside, from themedieval castle and cathedral at Newcastle to the spectacular buildingsspearheading the renaissance of Gateshead on the river’s south bank.Both urban centres are explored in a series of walks, including themagnificent 1830s replanning of Newcastle, comparable in quality andambition to anything in Georgian Edinburgh or Bath.

44 ArtAlias Man RayMason KleinWith contributions by George Baker, Merry L. Foresta and Lauren Schell DickensBorn Emmanuel Radnitzky, the artist known as Man Ray (1890–1976) revealed multipleartistic identities over the course of his career—New York Dadaist, Parisian Surrealist,international portraitist and fashion photographer––and produced important works as aphotographer, painter, filmmaker, writer and maker of objects. Alias Man Ray considers howthe artist’s life and career were shaped by his turn-of-the-century American Jewish immigrantexperience and his lifelong evasion of his past.As an exploration of the artist’s deliberate cultural ambiguity, which allowed him to become thefirst American artist to be accepted by the Paris avant-garde, this book examines the dynamicconnection between Man Ray’s working-class origins, his assimilation, the evolution of his art,and his wilful construction of his own artistic persona, as evidenced in a series of subtle,encrypted self-references throughout the artist’s career. Beautifully illustrated, Alias Man Ray will stand as a definitive study of anincomparable figure in 20th-century art.Exhibition The Jewish Museum, New York, 15/11/09 – 14/3/10Mason Klein is Curator of Fine Arts at The Jewish Museum.

This cataloguefeatures Polke’s major four-painting cycle, The Dream of Menelaus, one of the artist’s mostbeautiful and challenging.Citing the story of Menelaus, the mythical Greek hero whose wife Helen’s abduction started theTrojan War, Polke’s cycle alludes to eternal themes of love and war with a typically elusive yetanalytic beauty. Here Polke has merged classical and contemporary images to reveal unexpectedparallels between mythical histories and present-day realities, all the while creating fourpaintings of an unsurpassed mastery of the painting medium itself.Exhibition Dallas Museum of Art, autumn 2009Charles Wylie is The Lupe Murchison Curator of Contemporary Art, Dallas Museum of Art, and author of Robert Ryman andSigmar Polke: History of Everything.

KellyIn 1732, a group of elite young men, calling themselves the Society of Dilettanti, held their firstmeeting in London. The qualification for membership was travel to Italy where the originalmembers had met each other on the grand tour. Originally formed as a convivial dining society,by the middle of the eighteenth century the Dilettanti took on an influential role in culturalmatters. It was the first European organisation fully to subsidise an archaeological expedition tothe lands of classical Greece, and, its members were important sponsors of new institutions suchas the Royal Academy and the British Museum. The Society of Dilettanti became one of themost prominent and influential societies of the British Enlightenment.This lively and illuminating account, based on extensive archival research, is the most detailedanalysis of the early Society of Dilettanti to date. Not simply an institutional biography, three themes dominate this history of theDilettanti: eighteenth-century debates over social identity; the relationships between aesthetics and archaeology; and the meaningsof natural philosophy. Connecting the world of the grand tour to the sociable masculinity of London’s taverns, this book revealsthat the trajectory of British classical archaeology was as much a consequence of shifting notions of politeness as it was a productof antiquarian discoveries and elite tastes. The book places the Society of Dilettanti at the complex intersection of internationaland national discourses that shaped the British Enlightenment, and, thus, it sheds new light on eighteenth-century grand tourism,elite masculinity, sociability, aesthetics, architecture and archaeology.Jason M.

Spaces of ExperienceArt Gallery Interiors from 1800 to 2000Art 51Charlotte KlonkThis fascinating study of art gallery interiors examines the changing ideals and practices ofgalleries in Europe and North America from the eighteenth to the late twentieth century. It offersa detailed account of the different displays that have been created—the colours of the backgroundwalls, lighting, furnishings, the height and density of the art works on show—and it traces thedifferent scientific, political and commercial influences that lay behind their development.Charlotte Klonk shows that scientists like Hermann von Helmholtz and Wilhelm Wundtadvanced theories of perception that played a significant role in justifying new modes ofexhibiting. Equally important for the changing modes of exhibition in art galleries was whatMichael Baxandall has called ‘the period eye’, a way of seeing informed by the impact of newfashions in interior decoration and by department store and shop window displays. The historyof museum interiors, she argues, should be appreciated as a revealing chapter in the broader history of experience.Charlotte Klonk is Departmental Chair, Kunstgeschichtliches Seminar, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

The chapters examineexhibitions held in New York in the 1920s and 1930s, including those organised byAlfred Stieglitz, the Little Review, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum ofModern Art. In examining the marketing of modernism, Wilson reveals how these exhibitions attempted to stage an intersectionbetween art and everyday life, and how they taught viewers to look at, and care about, modern art.“A fascinating and fresh study that explores a rich panorama of themes important to the modernist art of the period.”—Michael Leja, University of PennsylvaniaKristina Wilson is Assistant Professor of Art History at Clark University.

These marks become records of time and memory representing theintersection of abstract thought and physical substance. With painstakingly composed illusion, these objectsfall within the tradition of trompe l’oeil and blur the line between everyday object and art.This book focuses on Wolfe’s works on paper, including drawings and pieces that combine drawing withpainting, collage and printmaking. Although his work is included in numerous museum collections andhas appeared in several group shows, this is the first major publication on this important emerging artist.Exhibition scheduleWhitney Museum of American Art, New York, 9/09 – 11/09; The Menil Collection, Houston, 12/4/10 – 15/8/10Carter E.

Beginning with charcoaldrawings made in 1915, which were among the most radical creations produced in the UnitedStates at that time, O’Keeffe sought to transcribe pure emotion in her work. While her outputof abstract work declined after 1930, she returned to abstraction in the 1950s with a newvocabulary that provided a precedent for a younger generation of abstractionists. By devoting itself to this largely unexplored areaof her work, Georgia O’Keeffe: Abstraction is an overdue acknowledgment of her place as one of America’s first abstractionists.Exhibition schedule Whitney Museum of American Art, 17/9/09 – 17/1/10The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C., 6/2/10 – 9/5/10; Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, Santa Fe, 28/5/10 – 12/9/10Barbara Haskell is Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.Published in association with the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Phillips Collection and the Georgia O’Keeffe MuseumSeptember 256 pp. 279x241mm. 26 duotone + 202 colour illus.

Rivers of ParadiseWater in Islamic Art and CultureEdited by Sheila S. Blair and Jonathan M. BloomFor millennia the collection, distribution and symbolism of water have played pivotal roles in thelands where Islam has flourished. This book is the first to address this important subject.A diverse spectrum of scholars covers a wide range of topics: from the revelation of Islam in theseventh century to today’s conservation and development issues, from watering oases in theMoroccan desert to the flooded plains of Bengal. Copiously illustrated with beautiful colourphotographs and newly drawn plans and maps, this book will provoke readers to appreciate andacknowledge the essential, if often invisible and transitory, roles that water played in the arts ofthe Islamic lands and beyond.Sheila S.

As a result a sophisticated language of Chinese animal paintingwas developed, employing both the animals’ symbolic associations and homonymic puns. HoumeiSung’s exciting rediscovery of some of these lost meanings has led to a full-scale investigationof the evolving history of Chinese animal painting.Distinct symbolic meanings were associated with individual motifs, but all animals were assigned aplace in the universe according to the Chinese concept of nature. From the very early yin/yangcosmology to later developments of Daoist and Confucian philosophies and ethics, Chinese animalsgained new meanings related to their historical contexts. This book explores these new findings, using the colourful animal images andtheir rich and evolving symbolic meanings to gain insight into unique aspects of Chinese art, as well as Chinese culture and history.Exhibition Cincinnati Museum of Art, 10/09 – 2/10Hou-mei Sung is Curator of Asian Art at the Cincinnati Art Museum.Published in association with the Cincinnati Museum of ArtSeptember 256 pp. 290x244mm. 200 colour illus.

This is the first book in English to trace Serizawa’s artisticbiography in detail using the finest examples of his work from leading Japanese collections.A major exponent of the mingei (people’s crafts) movement, Serizawa achieved fame as a textiledesigner using traditional stencil-dyeing techniques and often working in large-scale formats such as folding screens or kimonos.The stunning works in this catalogue are important not only for the originality of their conception, but also for the variety oftheir materials: cotton, silk, hemp and a range of other fibres, and paper decorated with the brilliant yet warm hues of vegetabledyes. Dramatic in design, Serizawa’s textiles have an expressive power that far transcends expectations of a ‘craft’ medium.Exhibition Japan Society Gallery, New York, 2/10/09 – 10/1/10Joe Earle is Vice President and Director of the gallery at Japan Society in New York City.

Miller, with Marybeth De FilippisCommemorating the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage and the lasting legacy of Dutchculture in New York, this book explores the life and times of a fascinating woman, her family andher things. Margrieta was born in the Netherlands but lived at the extremes of the Dutch colonialworld, in Malacca on the Malay Peninsula and in Flatbush, Brooklyn. When she came to New Yorkin 1686 with her husband and set up a shop, she brought an astonishing array of Eastern goods,many of which were documented in an inventory made after her death in 1695. Archival researchhas enabled the authors to reconstruct her story.

In this book, a group of scholars treats the earliest manifestations ofprinting in all aspects: technical experimentation, the complex relation of printed books to printedimages, individual and institutional patronage, new iconographies, religious propaganda and thewide variety of private and public ways in which printed images were first employed.The essays examine the technological, social, political, religious, personal and institutionalcontexts of 15th-century woodcuts and challenge many assumptions about the phenomenon ofearly printing, including the beginnings of printing on cloth, the significance of monasticproduction, the development of book printing and book illustration and the extent to whichprinting can or should be termed a ‘revolution’.Peter Parshall is Curator of Old Master Prints at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.Studies in the History of Art SeriesPublished by the National Gallery of Art, Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts/Distributed by Yale University PressOctober 352 pp. 279x228mm. 124 duotone + 124 colour illus.

Christian, Jr., María Cruz de Carlos Varona,Jaime Cuadriello, Javier Portús and Alfonso Rodríguez G. de CeballosThe art of Spain and Spanish America during the 17th century is overwhelmingly religious—it was intended to arouse wonder, devotion and identification. Its forms and meanings areinextricably linked to the beliefs and religious practices of the people for whom it was made.In this groundbreaking book, scholars of art and religion look at new ways to understand thereception of and use of these images in the practice of belief. As a result, the book argues for afundamental reappraisal of the cultural role of the Church based on an analysis of the specificdevotional and ritual contexts of Spanish art.Handsomely illustrated essays discuss paintings, polychrome sculptures, metalwork and books. They call attention to the paradoxicalnature of the most characteristic visual forms of Spanish Catholicism: material richness and external display as expressions of internalspirituality, strict doctrinal orthodoxy accompanied by artistic expression of surprising unconventionality, the calculated socialprojection of new devotional themes and the divergence of popular religious practices from officially prescribed ones.Exhibition Indianapolis Museum of Art, 11/10/09 – 3/1/10Ronda Kasl is Senior Curator of Painting and Sculpture before 1800 at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.Distributed for the Indianapolis Museum of ArtNovember 400 pp. 305x254mm. 25 b/w + 125 colour illus.

60 Art/Music/DramaFuturismAn AnthologyEdited by Lawrence Rainey, Christine Poggi and Laura WittmanIn 1909, F. T. Marinetti published his incendiary Futurist Manifesto, proclaiming, “We stand onthe last promontory of the centuries!!” and “There, on the earth, the earliest dawn!”.Intent on delivering Italy from “its fetid cancer of professors, archaeologists, tour guides andantiquarians”, the Futurists imagined that art, architecture, literature and music would functionlike a machine, transforming the world rather than merely reflecting it. But within a decade,Futurism’s utopian ambitions were being wedded to Fascist politics, an alliance that wouldtragically mar its reputation in the century to follow.Published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the founding of Futurism, this is the mostcomplete anthology of Futurist manifestos, poems, plays and images ever to be published inEnglish, spanning from 1909 to 1944. Now, amidst another era of unprecedented technological change and cultural crisis, is apivotal moment to reevaluate Futurism and its haunting legacy for Western civilisation.Lawrence Rainey is Professor of English, University of York.

“Matter of Glorious Trial”Spiritual and Material Substance in ‘Paradise Lost’N. K. SugimuraThis groundbreaking book, the first to examine Milton’sthinking about matter and substance throughout his entirepoetic career, seeks to alter the prevailing critical view thatMilton was a monist-materialist—one who believes that allthings are composed of material and all phenomena (includingconsciousness) are the result of material interactions.Based on her close study of the philosophical movements ofMilton’s mind, Sugimura discovers the ‘fluid intermediaries’ inhis poetry that are neither strictly material nor immaterial. Indoing so, Sugimura uses Paradise Lost as a fascinating windowinto the intersection of literature and philosophy, and of literarystudies and intellectual history. Sugimura finds that Miltondisplays a tense and ambiguous relationship with the idealisticdualism of Plato and the materialism of Aristotle and she arguesfor a more nuanced interpretation of Milton’s metaphysics.“engages with Milton’s work on a formidably wide range offronts—theological, pneumatological, metaphysical,linguistic—and in doing so establishes its case convincingly,displaying a remarkable range of learning and industry.”—Colin Burrow, All Souls College, University of OxfordN.

Lang examines a range of texts—novels, stage plays,poems, children’s books and critical treatises—to illuminate thedebt each owes to earlier versions of the Joseph story.Bernhard Lang is Professor of Religion at the University ofPaderborn, Germany.

Writing in awonderfully robust and engaging voice, Ken Corbett argues for a newpsychology of masculinity, one that is not strictly dependent onnormative expectation. As he writes in his introduction, ‘no two boys,no two boyhoods are the same’. In Boyhoods Corbett seeks to releaseboys from the grip of expectation as Mary Pipher did for girls inReviving Ophelia.Corbett grounds his understanding of masculinity in his clinicalpractice and in a dynamic reading of feminist and queer theories.New social ideals are being articulated. New possibilities forrecognition are in play. How is a boy made between the body, thefamily and the culture? Does a boy grow by identifying with his father,or by separating from his mother? Can we continue to presume thatmasculinity is made at home? Corbett uses case studies to defystereotypes, depicting masculinity as various and complex. He examinesthe roles that parental and cultural anxiety play in development, andargues for a more nuanced approach to cross-gendered fantasy andexperience, one that does not mistake social consensus for well-being.Corbett challenges us at last to a fresh consideration of gender, withprofound implications for understanding all boys.Ken Corbett is Clinical Assistant Professor at the New York UniversityPostdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis.63Comparative Studies and thePolitics of Modern Medical CareEdited by Theodore R.

64 Philosophy/PoliticsHeideggerThe Introduction ofNazism into PhilosophyEmmanuel FayeTranslated by Michael B. SmithForeword by Tom RockmoreIn this provocative book, Fayeuses excerpts from unpublishedseminars to show that Heidegger’sphilosophical writings are fatallycompromised by an adherence toNational Socialist ideas.In other documents, Faye finds expressions of racism andexterminatory anti-Semitism.Faye disputes the view of Heidegger as a naïve, temporarilydisoriented academician and instead shows him to have been aself-appointed ‘spiritual guide’ for Nazism whoseintentionality was clear. Contrary to what some have written,Heidegger’s Nazism became even more radical after 1935, asFaye demonstrates. He revisits Heidegger’s masterwork, Beingand Time, and concludes that in it Heidegger does not presenta philosophy of individual existence but rather a doctrine ofradical self-sacrifice, where individualisation is allowed onlyfor the purpose of heroism in warfare. Now available inMichael B.

Sternhell asserts that the Anti-Enlightenment is a development separate from theEnlightenment and sees the two traditions as evolving parallelto one another over time. He contends that J. G. Herder,Edmund Burke and Joseph de Maistre can be connected tothe origins of the Anti-Enlightenment and shows how thattradition undermines the very foundations of liberalism,contributing to the development of fascism that culminated inthe European catastrophes of the twentieth century.“Everything Sternhell writes is powerful and challenging, and thisbook is no exception.

One of these initiatives, which the author calls‘the New Naturalism’, is the effort, by anthropologists andpsychologists, to explain religion on the basis of cognitive scienceand evolutionary biology. Another, refered to as ‘the New NaturalTheology’, is the recent attempt by a number of scientificallyknowledgeable theologians to reconcile the accounts of the worldgiven in the natural sciences and traditional religious belief.These two projects, one a naturalising of religion, the other atheologising of natural science, can be seen as mirror images,or ‘natural reflections’, of each other. Smith offers asophisticated approach, recognising science and religion ascomplex and distinct domains of human practice that alsopossess significant historical connections and psychologicalcognitiveresemblances and continuities.Barbara Herrnstein Smith is Braxton Craven Professor ofComparative Literature and Director of the Center forInterdisciplinary Studies in Science and Cultural Theory atDuke University and Distinguished Professor of English atBrown University.The Terry Lectures SeriesFebruary 192 pp. 210x140mm.ISBN 978-0-300-14034-7 £25.00Among the GentilesGreco-Roman Religionand ChristianityLuke Timothy JohnsonThe question of Christianity’srelation to the other religions ofthe world is more pertinent anddifficult today than ever before.While Christianity’s historicalfailure to appreciate or activelyengage Judaism is notorious,Christianity’s even more shoddyrecord with respect to ‘pagan’ religions is less understood.Christians have inherited a virtually unanimous theologicaltradition that thinks of paganism in terms of demonicpossession, and of Christian missions as a rescue operationthat saves pagans from inherently evil practices.In undertaking this fresh inquiry into early Christianity andGreco-Roman paganism, Luke Timothy Johnson begins witha broad definition of religion as a way of life organised aroundconvictions and experiences concerning ultimate power. In thetradition of William James’s Variety of Religious Experience, heidentifies four distinct ways of being religious: religion asparticipation in benefits, as moral transformation, astranscending the world and as stabilising the world. Usingthese criteria as the basis for his exploration of Christianityand paganism, Johnson finds multiple points of similarity inreligious sensibility.Christianity’s failure to adequately come to grips with its firstpagan neighbours, Johnson asserts, inhibits any effort toengage positively with adherents of various world religions.This thoughtful and passionate study should help break downthe walls between Christianity and other religious traditions.Luke Timothy Johnson is the R.

This book is the first to provide abroad overview of the major trends in contemporary Kabbalahtogether with in-depth discussions of major figures and schools.A noted expert on Kabbalah, Jonathan Garb places the‘kabbalistic Renaissance’ within the global context of the riseof other forms of spirituality, including Sufism and TibetanBuddhism. He shows how Kabbalah has been transformed bythe events of the Holocaust and, following the establishmentof Israel, by aliyah. The Chosen Will Become Herds is anoriginal piece of scholarship and, in its own right, a newchapter in the history of Kabbalah.Jonathan Garb, a leading authority on modern Kabbalah,is a senior lecturer at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.September 240 pp. 234x156mm.Paper ISBN 978-0-300-12394-4 £40.00Hebrew rights: held by the authorThe Book of MormonThe Earliest TextEdited by Royal SkousenFirst published in 1830, the Book of Mormon is theauthoritative scripture of the Church of Jesus Christ of LatterdaySaints and its estimated 13 million members. Over thepast twenty-one years, editor Royal Skousen has pored overJoseph Smith’s original manuscripts and identified more than2,000 textual errors in the 1830 edition. Although most ofthese discrepancies stem from inadvertent errors in copyingand typesetting the text, the Yale edition contains about 600corrections that have never appeared in any standard editionof the Book of Mormon, and about 250 of them affect the text’smeaning. Skousen’s corrected text is a work of remarkablededication and will be a landmark in American religiousscholarship.Completely redesigned and typeset by nationally award-winningtypographer Jonathan Saltzman, this new edition has beenreformatted in sense-lines, making the text much more logicaland pleasurable to read. Featuring a lucid introduction byhistorian Grant Hardy, the Yale edition serves not only as themost accurate version of the Book of Mormon ever published butalso as an illuminating entryway into a vital religious tradition.Royal Skousen is a Professor of Linguistics and EnglishLanguage at Brigham Young University and the leadingexpert on the textual history of the Book of Mormon.October 832 pp. 234x156mm.ISBN 978-0-300-14218-1 £25.00*Translation rights: held by the authorJews in Ukrainian LiteratureRepresentation and IdentityMyroslav ShkandrijThis pioneering study is the first to show how Jews have beenseen through modern Ukrainian literature. Myroslav Shkandrijuses evidence found within that literature to challenge theestablished view that the Ukrainian and Jewish communitieswere antagonistic towards one another and interacted onlywhen compelled to do so by economic necessity.Jews in Ukrainian Literature synthesises recent research in theWest and in the Ukraine, where access to Soviet-era literaturehas become possible only in the recent, post-independenceperiod. Many of the works discussed are either little-known orunknown in the West. By demonstrating how Ukrainians haveimagined their historical encounters with Jews in differentways over the decades, this account also shows how the Jewishpresence has contributed to the acceptance of cultural diversitywithin contemporary Ukraine.“This important literary history is encyclopedic in scope andnovel in its approach.

A Questionof CommandCounterinsurgencyfrom the Civil War to IraqMark MoyarAccording to the prevailing view ofcounterinsurgency, the key todefeating insurgents is selectingmethods that will win the people’shearts and minds. The hearts-andmindstheory permeates not only most counterinsurgency booksof the twenty-first century but the U.S. Army/Marine CorpsCounterinsurgency Field Manual, the U.S. military’s foremosttext on counterinsurgency. Mark Moyar assails this conventionalwisdom, asserting that the key to counterinsurgency is selectingcommanders who have superior leadership abilities. Whereas thehearts-and-minds school recommends allocating much labourand treasure to economic, social and political reforms, Moyaradvocates concentrating resources on security, civiladministration and leadership development.Mark Moyar is the Kim T.

The book investigates both the popular images ofprison and the realities behind them: problems of control anddiscipline, maintenance and reform, power and sexuality.

BockstoceThis comprehensive history of the native and maritime furtrade in Alaska during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesis without precedent. The Bering Strait formed the nexus ofthe circumpolar fur trade in which Russians, British,Americans and members of fifty native nations competed andcooperated. The desire to dominate the fur trade fed theEuropean expansion into the most remote regions of Asia andAmerica and was an agent of massive change in these regions.Award-winning author John R. Bockstoce fills a major gap inthe historiography of the area in covering the scientific,commercial and foreign-relations implications of the northernfur trade. In addition, the book provides rare insight into therelationship between the Western powers and the NativeAmericans who provided them with fur, ivory and whalebonein exchange for manufactured goods, tobacco, tea, alcohol andhundreds of other things. But this is also the story of theenterprising individuals who energised the Alaskan fur tradeand, in doing so, forever altered the region’s history.Arctic specialist John R.

Matlock, Jr.Jack F. Matlock refutes the enduring idea that the UnitedStates forced the collapse of the Soviet Union by applyingmilitary and economic pressure—with wide-rangingimplications for U.S. foreign policy. Matlock argues thatGorbachev, not Reagan, undermined Communist Party rule inthe Soviet Union and that the Cold War ended in a negotiatedsettlement that benefited both sides. He posits that the end ofthe Cold War diminished rather than enhanced Americanpower; with the removal of the Soviet threat, allies were lesswilling to accept American protection and leadership thatseemed increasingly to ignore their interests.Matlock shows how, during the Clinton and particularly theBush-Cheney administrations, the belief that the United Stateshad defeated the Soviet Union led to a conviction that it didnot need allies, international organisations or diplomacy, butcould dominate and change the world by using its militarypower unilaterally. The result is a weakened America that hascompromised its ability to lead. Matlock makes a passionateplea for the United States under Obama to reenvision itsforeign policy and gives examples of how the newadministration can reorient the U.S. approach to critical issues.Jack F.

70 U.S. StudiesIn the Name ofGod and CountryReconsidering Terrorismin American HistoryMichael FellmanWith insight and originality,Michael Fellman argues thatterrorism, in various forms, hasbeen a constant and drivingforce in American history. Inpart, this is due to the nature ofAmerican republicanism andProtestant Christianity, which he believes contain a core ofmoral absolutism and self-righteousness that perpetrators ofterrorism use to justify their actions. Fellman also argues thatthere is an intrinsic relationship between terrorist acts bynon-state groups and responses on the part of the state; unlikemany observers, he believes that both the action and thereaction constitute terrorism.Michael Fellman is Professor of History Emeritus at SimonFraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia.

After thescandals of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay, and in themidst of a dramatically escalating prison population, thequestion is particularly urgent. In this timely, provocative study,Caleb Smith argues that the dehumanisation inherent incaptivity has always been at the heart of American civil society.Exploring legal, political and literary texts—including theworks of Dickinson, Melville and Emerson—Smith showshow alienation and self-reliance, social death and spiritualrebirth, torture and penitence came together in the prison, ascene for the portrayal of both gothic nightmares andromantic dreams. Demonstrating how the ‘cellular soul’ hasendured since the antebellum age, The Prison and the AmericanImagination offers a passionate and haunting critique of thevery idea of solitude in American life.“Smith’s book is remarkably inventive and wide-ranging withits close interweaving of literature and history, its refusal torely slavishly on Foucault, its close reading, and itsrefreshingly lucid style.”—Terry EagletonCaleb Smith is Assistant Professor of English at Yale University.Yale Studies in EnglishOctober 272 pp. 234x156mm. 4 b/w illus.ISBN 978-0-300-14166-5 £28.50*The Bourgeois FrontierFrench Towns, French Traders,and American ExpansionJay GitlinThe Seven Years War brought an end tothe French colonial enterprise in NorthAmerica, but the French in towns suchas New Orleans, St. Louis and Detroitsurvived the transition to Americanrule.
