COLLINS &KAREN L. TAYLORBoth Georgetown UniversityThis collection brings together original andinfluential recent work in the field of earlymodern European history. It provides a thoughtprovokingoverview of current thinking on thisperiod, demonstrating that history is a dynamicprocess of interpretation.The book is structured around six major themes:evolving early modern identities, treated withina global context; changes in religion andcultural life; the revolution of the mind; roles ofwomen in early modern societies; the rise of themodern state; and research paradigms. Each ofthe six sections contains an introduction by theeditors, discussing the significance of the topicand the history of its interpretation; five or sixessays are then followed by a ’debate’juxtaposing two competing interpretations ona particular theme.Noteworthy features of the collection includean article translated into English for the firsttime and the incorporation of new scholarshipon Eastern and Central Europe.NEW IN 2006Early Modern Manuscript and PrintedBook StudiesA Guide to Concepts and Descriptive TermsMARK BLANDDe Montfort UniversityWithin the last ten years, there has been a distinct shift away from purely theoreticalforms of critical enquiry towards the uses of material evidence in literary scholarship.This book responds to this change, providing an introduction to the language and concepts employed in bookhistory and textual scholarship, as these pertain to early modern manuscripts and printed texts. Both formsof textual production are considered together, since the methods used to approach each one are similar.The author takes the reader through the process of examining early modern printed books and manuscriptsas artefacts. Firstly, he explains how to look at such documents, how to describe them properly, and how toread their material signs. Secondly, he demonstrates how to use that information, together with anunderstanding of the processes of production and modification, as a tool for studying the transmission ofliterary documents. He also makes clear why such matters are important and the purposes to which suchinformation is put.208 PAGES / 1-4051-2412-1 HB / 1-4051-2413-X PB / JUNE 2006Taxation under the Early TudorsthearlyTudors1485-15471485-1547ROGER,ELDROGERSCHOFISCHOFIELDUniversity of CambridgeThe early Tudor period is especially significant in the history of taxation. This studyexamines the taxes granted by parliament to the crown between 1485 and 1547.Under Henry VIII, taxation based on the direct assessment of each individual was revived, having beenabandoned as unworkable in the fourteenth century. In the long run, the Tudor experiment failed and wasnot restored until the end of the eighteenth century. But examination of the experiment, and of the timingand causes of its failure, throws light on the changing political limits of the Tudor state.Schofield’s research marks an important advance in our understanding not only of the fiscal resourcesavailable to the English crown but also of the broader political culture of early Tudor England.320 PAGES / 0-631-15231-8 HB / 200416480 PAGES0-631-22892-6 HB / 0-631-22893-4 PB / SEPTEMBER 2005The Scientific RevolutionThe Essential ReadingsMARCUS ,HELYEREdited by MARCUS HELLYERBrandeis University“A well-selected and thoughtful collection of some of the most importantrecent articles on the Scientific Revolution.

The author then goes on to consider all themajor watersheds in the development of democracyin modern Europe: the crisis 1789 to 1815, when therepercussions of revolution in France were felt acrossthe continent; the explosion of democraticmovements between 1830 and 1848; the hijacking ofdemocratic processes by Napoleon III; and thedébâcle of the Paris Commune.

It focuses on the process andimpact of decolonization at the level of the ’latecolonial state’ and of colonial societies, withreference to a number of key cases across theEuropean colonial empires.The book presents an original model ofdecolonization which seeks to reconcile imperialand nationalist perspectives, and engages withimportant theoretical approaches. Major themesinclude: the development of the colonial state; theemergence of nationalist movements andalternatives to nationalism in colonial societies;colonial reformism and anti-colonial politics after1945; wars and emergencies; the impact ofdecolonization on metropolitan society andpolitics; and the ’endgame’ of decolonization.While decolonization is often seen as ’inevitable’,the emphasis throughout the book is ondecolonization as an essentially violent crisis, theresolution of which had many unintendedoutcomes, not only for the colonial powers but alsofor post-colonial regimes and societies.SERIES: HISTORY OF THE CONTEMPORARY WORLDSERIES EDITORS: PETER CATTERALL & LAWRENCE FREEDMAN256 PAGES / 0-631-19967-5 HB / 0-631-19968-3 PB / JUNE 2006FORTHCOMINGA Companion to International History1900-2001GORDONEdited by GORDON MARTELSERIES: BLACKWELL COMPANIONS TO HISTORY512 PAGES / 1-4051-2574-8 HB / NOVEMBER 2006The Colonial PresentAfghanistan .

Butwhat did victory mean? In the United States, commentators were divided intheir views: some feared their nation’s eclipse by more successful tradingpowers or blocs; others were concerned that undoubted militarypre-eminence was in effect financed by foreigners. A little over a decadelater, these worries seem remote – but others have replaced them. Theattacks on the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001, gave the US anew and unwelcome sense of vulnerability, while the responses of the Bushadministration have created grave misgivings in many parts of the world.This fascinating study gives readers an overview and understanding of therecent history of US foreign relations from the viewpoint of one of the mostrespected authorities in the field.SERIES: AMERICA’S RECENT PASTSERIES EDITOR: RONALD EDSFORTH216 PAGES / 1-4051-1426-6 HB / 1-4051-1427-4 PB / JULY 2005ALSO OF INTERESTAmerican Environmental HistoryEdited by LOUIS S.

This book describes and explains its extraordinary progressfrom a small Andean society in southern Peru to its rapid demiselittle more than a century later at the hands of the Spanishconquerors.THE INCAS is the first book fully to synthesize history and archaeologyin a sweeping exploration of the entire empire from Chile toEcuador. The author explains how the Incas drew from millennia ofcultural developments to mould a diverse land into a dynamic,powerful, and yet fragile polity.

HAWKINSBoston UniversityIn A BRIEF HISTORY OF DANTE, Peter S.Hawkins brings the great Italian writerDante Alighieri to life. Drawing on over 30years’ experience of teaching and writingabout Dante, he introduces newcomers tothe poet and his masterpiece, theCommedia.Hawkins starts by offering a brief accountof the poet’s life and works thatdemonstrates the importance of Dante’spersonal story to his writing, and byoutlining the story of the Commedia.Hethen goes on to consider the prominenceDante gives to eros as part of spiritual life,and to probe his idiosyncraticinterpretation of Christian theology.Finally, he traces how, over the centuries,Dante has been portrayed variously as alover, a statesman, a Neo-Platonist, aproto-Protestant Reformer, a Romanticvisionary, a Byronic hero, a Pre-Raphaelite,the father of his country, a theologian inverse, and ‘altissimo poeta’, theconsummate poet.SERIES: BLACKWELL BRIEF HISTORIES OF RELIGION200 PAGES1-4051-3051-2 HB / 1-4051-3052-0 PB / JUNE 2006A Brief History ofryofSaints,ASaintsLawrencengham,LAWRENCECuniS.
