NEW<br />
Altarpieces and Their Viewers<br />
in the Churches of Rome from<br />
Caravaggio to Guido Reni<br />
Pamela Jones, University of Massachusetts, Boston<br />
Visual Culture in <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Modern</strong>ity<br />
“Richly documented, subtly conceived, and lucidly<br />
argued, Pamela M. Jones’s important new book<br />
reconstructs the viewing audiences of five major reform<br />
altarpieces commissioned between 1595 and 1625.<br />
Her efforts to embed the act of beholding within various<br />
registers of cultural experience and socioeconomic<br />
‘horizons of expectation,’ result in compelling analyses<br />
of the altarpieces, which are seen to enliven, indeed,<br />
to instrumentalize the full spectrum of religious life.”<br />
—Walter Melion, Emory University<br />
A social history of reception, this study focuses on art<br />
and Catholicism in early modern Rome. The five public<br />
altarpieces examined here—by Caravaggio, Guercino,<br />
Guido Reni, Tommaso Laureti and Andrea Commodi—<br />
are seen anew through the eyes of female and male<br />
viewers from all walks of life. In treating officially<br />
sanctioned and unorthodox responses, Jones illuminates<br />
problems churchmen faced when trying to channel the<br />
power of images to reform Catholic society.<br />

Art and Communication<br />
in the Reign of Henry VIII<br />
Tatiana C. String, University of Bristol, UK<br />
Through in-depth analysis of a wide variety of works of<br />
art—including portraits, pageants, and prints—Tatiana<br />
String analyzes Henry VIII’s use of art to communicate<br />
with his subjects. Looking at Henrician England as a<br />
case study, String enriches our understanding of the<br />
fundamental contribution of imagery to communication,<br />
and provides a model for the study of the dissemination<br />
of ideas and the patron-artist relationship in other courts<br />
and historical periods.<br />

Art and Identity<br />
in <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Modern</strong> Rome<br />
Edited by Jill Burke and Michael Bury,<br />
both at University of Edinburgh, UK<br />
Considering identity creation and artistic development<br />
in Rome during this period, this collection adroitly<br />
demonstrates how the exceptional quality of Roman<br />
court and urban culture interacted with developments<br />
in the visual arts. With its distinctive chronological<br />
span and uniquely interdisciplinary approach, Art<br />
and Identity in <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Modern</strong> Rome puts forward an<br />
alternative history of the visual arts in early modern<br />
Rome, one that questions traditional periodization<br />
and stylistic categorization.<br />

Baroque Piety: Religion, Society,<br />
and Music in Leipzig, 1650–1750<br />
Tanya Kevorkian, Millersville University<br />
Drawing upon a rich array of sources from archives in<br />
Leipzig, Dresden and Halle, Tanya Kevorkian illuminates<br />
culture in Leipzig before and during J.S. Bach’s time<br />
in the city. Working with these sources, she has been<br />
able to reconstruct the contexts of Baroque and Pietist<br />
cultures at key periods in their development much more<br />
specifically than has been done previously. Kevorkian<br />
shows that high Baroque culture emerged through a<br />
combination of traditional frameworks and practices,<br />
and an infusion of change that set in after 1680.<br />
Contents: Introduction; PART I: CONGREGANTS’ EVERYDAY<br />
PRACTICES: The experience of the service; Seating the<br />
religious public: church pews and society. PART II: THE<br />
PRODUCERS: The clergy, the city council, and Leipzig<br />
inhabitants; Elites in and beyond Leipzig: the Dresden<br />
court and the consistories; Leipzig’s cantors: status,<br />
politics and the adiaphora. PART III: THE PIETIST ALTERNATIVE:<br />
Sociability and religious protest: the collegia pietatatis<br />
of 1689–1690; The Pietist shadow network. PART IV:<br />

Before Bruegel<br />
Sebald Beham and the Origins<br />
of Peasant Festival Imagery<br />
Alison G. Stewart, University of Nebraska<br />
Peasant festival imagery began in sixteenth-century<br />
Nuremberg, when the city played host to a series of<br />
religious and secular festivals. The peasant festival<br />
images were first produced as woodcut prints in the<br />
decade between 1524 and 1535 by Sebald Beham.<br />
In Before Bruegel, Alison Stewart takes a fresh look<br />
at these images and explores them within their<br />
historical and cultural contexts, including the<br />
introduction of the Lutheran Reformation into<br />
the town’s institutions and the accompanying<br />
re-evaluation of the town’s popular festivals.<br />

Biblical Scholarship<br />
and the Church<br />
A Sixteenth-Century Crisis of Authority<br />
Allan K. Jenkins and Patrick Preston,<br />
University of Chichester, UK<br />
<strong>Ashgate</strong> New Critical Thinking in Religion,<br />
Theology and Biblical Studies<br />
This book traces how the authority of the Septuagint and<br />
later that of the Vulgate was called into question by the<br />
return to the original languages of scripture, and how<br />
linguistic scholarship was seen to pose a challenge to<br />
the authority of the teaching and tradition of the church.<br />
It shows how issues that remained unresolved in the<br />
early church re-emerged in first half of the sixteenth<br />
century with the publication of Erasmus’ Greek-Latin<br />
New Testament of 1516. After examining the differences<br />
between Erasmus and his critics, the authors contrast<br />
the situation in England, where Reformation issues were<br />
dominant, and Italy, where the authority of Rome was<br />
never in question. Focusing particularly on the dispute<br />
between Thomas More and William Tyndale in England,<br />
and between Ambrosius Catharinus and Cardinal<br />
Cajetan in Italy, this book brings together perspectives<br />
from biblical studies and church history and provides<br />
access to texts not previously translated into English.<br />

University, UK<br />
Literary and Scientific Cultures of <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Modern</strong>ity<br />
Between 1540 and 1654, The Byrth of Mankynde was<br />
a huge commercial success. Offering information on<br />
fertility, pregnancy, birth and infant care, and written<br />
in a chatty, colloquial style, it influenced most other<br />
literary works of the period bearing on sex, reproduction<br />
and childcare. Until now, this important work has been<br />
unavailable except for a microfilm of the 1654 edition.<br />
For this new annotated edition of the 1560 version,<br />
Elaine Hobby has modernized the spelling and<br />
included informative notes.<br />
Contents: Introduction: The history of The Birth of<br />
Mankind; Humoral theory; Other common medical<br />

Black Lives in the English<br />
Archives, 1500–1677<br />
Imprints of the Invisible<br />
Imtiaz Habib, Old Dominion University<br />
“Imtiaz Habib’s meticulous examination of English<br />
sources, both manuscript and printed, will profoundly<br />
reshape the ongoing arguments about ‘race’ in<br />
sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England…For<br />
decades to come, scholars in many fields will gratefully<br />
mine Habib’s chronological chart of 448 records of<br />
‘black people’ between 1500 and 1677 and debate his<br />
extensive analysis. Black Lives in the English Archives is<br />
a major contribution.”<br />
—Alden T. Vaughan, Columbia University and author of<br />
Transatlantic Encounters: American Indians in Britain,<br />
1500–1776 (2006)<br />
Containing an urgently needed archival database<br />
of historical evidence, this volume includes both a<br />
consolidated presentation of the documentary records<br />
of black people in Tudor and Stuart England and an<br />
interpretive narrative that confirms and significantly<br />
extends the insights of current theoretical excursus<br />
on race in early modern England. The systematic,<br />
chronological descriptive index combined with the<br />
interpretive scholarship provides a strong framework<br />
from which future historical debates on race in early<br />
modern England can proceed.<br />

Borders and Travellers<br />
in <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Modern</strong> Europe<br />
Edited by Thomas Betteridge, Oxford<br />
Brookes University, UK<br />
<strong>Early</strong> modern Europe was obsessed with borders and<br />
travel—concepts that appealed and appalled in equal<br />
measure. Adopting a broad cultural approach, this<br />
collection presents a series of essays dealing with travel<br />
in the near east, Venice and Germany, travel writing and<br />
texts across Europe and specific border zones, such as<br />
the Irish Pale, and the border between Christians and<br />
Turks. Through a shared awareness of the way in which<br />
traveling and border crossing in the early modern world<br />
inevitably raised questions about identity, order and<br />
power, the contributors to this volume underline the<br />
shifting and uncertain nature of borders and traveling,<br />
and offer a fascinating insight into the cultural and<br />
social world of early modern Europe.<br />
Contents: Introduction: borders, travel and writing,<br />

The Boyle Papers<br />
Understanding the Manuscripts<br />
of Robert Boyle<br />
Michael Hunter, Birkbeck College,<br />
University of London, UK<br />
The papers, letters and ancillary manuscripts of the<br />
influential scientist, Robert Boyle (1627–91) have been<br />
at the Royal Society since 1769—a catalog of them first<br />
published in 1992. This volume presents that catalog<br />
in completely revised form, updated to do justice to<br />
the extensive use made of the archive in the definitive<br />
editions of Boyle’s Works and Correspondence published<br />
between 1999 and 2001. The book also includes studies<br />
of the history of the archive and its components, in which<br />
significant conclusions are drawn about the development<br />
of Boyle’s ideas. This book will be indispensable<br />
to anyone with a serious interest in Boyle.<br />

The Burghs and Parliament<br />
in Scotland, c. 1550–1651<br />
Alan R. MacDonald, University of Dundee, UK<br />
Existing studies of early modern Scotland tend to focus<br />
on the crown, the nobility and the church. Yet, from<br />
the sixteenth century, a unique national representative<br />
assembly of the towns, the Convention of Burghs,<br />
provided an insight into the activities of another key<br />
group in society. Drawing extensively on local and<br />
national sources, this book sheds new light upon the<br />
way in which parliament acted as a point of contact—<br />
a place where legislative business was done,<br />
relationships formed and status affirmed.<br />

The Chancery of God<br />
Protestant Print, Polemic and Propaganda<br />
against the Empire, Magdeburg 1546–1551<br />
Nathan Rein, Ursinus College<br />
St Andrews Studies in Reformation <strong>History</strong><br />
The Chancery of God is the first English language<br />
study of the city of Magdeburg’s resistance to Emperor<br />
Charles V’s drive to consolidate Habsburg hegemony<br />
and reinstitute uniform Roman Catholic worship<br />
throughout Germany. The book offers an analysis of<br />
the flood of printed material published in Magdeburg<br />
during the crucial years of 1546–1551, articulating a<br />
broad spectrum of arguments for resistance. More than<br />
this, however, the pamphlets and broadsides suggest a<br />
coherent identity and worldview that is characteristically<br />
and self-consciously Protestant.<br />

The Correspondence<br />
of Reginald Pole<br />
Volume 4: A Biographical Companion:<br />
The British Isles<br />
Thomas F. Mayer, Augustana College<br />
St Andrews Studies in Reformation <strong>History</strong><br />
Reginald Pole (1500–1558), cardinal and archbishop<br />
of Canterbury, was at the center of reform controversies<br />
in the mid 16th century—antagonist of Henry VIII, a<br />
leader of the reform group in the Roman Church, and<br />
nearly elected pope (Julius III was elected in his stead).<br />
His voluminous correspondence—more than 2,500<br />
items, including letters to him—forms a major source<br />
for historians not only of England, but of Catholic<br />
Europe and the early Reformation as a whole. The<br />
entries in this and the next volume identify all the<br />
persons mentioned in any significant way in the<br />
previous three volumes of correspondence.<br />

Catholic Belief and Survival<br />
in Late Sixteenth-Century Vienna<br />
The Case of Georg Eder (1523–87)<br />
Elaine Fulton, University of Birmingham, UK<br />
St Andrews Studies in Reformation <strong>History</strong><br />
Dr. Georg Eder was an extraordinary figure who rose<br />
from humble origins to hold a number of high positions<br />
at Vienna University and the city’s Habsburg court<br />
between 1552 and 1584. Pivoting around a dramatic<br />
incident in 1573, when Eder’s ferocious anti-Lutheran<br />
polemic, the Evangelical Inquisition, fell under sharp<br />
Imperial condemnation, this book investigates key<br />

The Cosmographia<br />
of Sebastian Münster<br />
Describing the World in the Reformation<br />
Matthew McLean<br />
St Andrews Studies in Reformation <strong>History</strong><br />
Sebastian Münster’s Cosmographia was an immensely<br />
influential book that attempted to describe the entire<br />
world across all of human history and analyze its<br />
constituent elements of geography, history, ethnography,<br />
zoology and botany. Through this examination of<br />
Münster, his publications and scholarly networks, the<br />
conflicts and continuities between medieval scholarly<br />
traditions and the widening horizons of the sixteenth<br />
century are explored and revealed. Of interest to<br />
scholars of humanist culture, the Reformation and book<br />
history, this ambitious work throws into relief previously<br />
overlooked aspects of the intellectual and religious<br />
culture of the time.<br />

Adaptations of Calvinism<br />
in Reformation Europe<br />
Essays in Honour of Brian G. Armstrong<br />
Edited by Mack P. Holt, George Mason University<br />
St Andrews Studies in Reformation <strong>History</strong><br />
Traditional historiography has always viewed Calvin’s<br />
Geneva as the benchmark against which all other<br />
Reformed communities must inevitably be measured,<br />
judging those communities who did not follow Geneva’s<br />
institutional and doctrinal example as somehow inferior<br />
and incomplete. This book builds upon recent scholarship<br />
that challenges this concept and instead offers a more<br />
positive view of Reformed communities beyond Geneva.<br />

Defending Royal Supremacy<br />
and Discerning God’s Will<br />
in Tudor England<br />
Daniel Eppley, Thiel College, Greenville<br />
St Andrews Studies in Reformation <strong>History</strong><br />
This book highlights and explores the important<br />
relationship between the Tudor supremacy over the<br />
church and the hermeneutics of discerning God’s will.<br />
It addresses this topic by considering defenses of the<br />
Henrician and Elizabethan royal supremacies over the<br />
English church made by Christopher St. German and<br />
Richard Hooker. Both of these men were in broad<br />
agreement that it was the responsibility of English<br />
Christians to subordinate their subjective understandings<br />
of God’s will to the interpretation of God’s will<br />
propounded by the church authorities.<br />
Contents: Preface; Introduction; The Henrician<br />
supremacy and the definition of doctrine; Defending<br />
royal supremacy apart from the definition of doctrine;<br />
Christopher St German: defending royal supremacy over<br />
the definition of doctrine; The Elizabethan supremacy<br />
and the admonition controversy; Richard Hooker: royal<br />

Humanism and the<br />

in <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Modern</strong> England<br />
John Merbecke the Orator and<br />
The Booke of Common Praier Noted (1550)<br />
Hyun-Ah Kim, University of Toronto<br />
St Andrews Studies in Reformation <strong>History</strong><br />
This book provides a new interpretation of John<br />
Merbecke (c.1505–c.1585), the Tudor musician, copyist<br />
and writer. Providing a new contextual study of Merbecke,<br />
this book re-interprets his work in the light of humanist<br />
rhetoric. It shows how Merbecke embodied the ideal of<br />
the “Christian-musical orator,” and his 1550 publication<br />
The Booke of Common Praier Noted was an Anglican<br />
epitome of the Erasmian synthesis of eloquence,<br />
theology and music. The book thus explores the work of<br />
Merbecke as a humanist reformer, through re-evaluation<br />
of his contributions to the developments of vernacular<br />
music and literature in early modern England. As such<br />
it will be of interest, not only to church musicians,<br />
but also to historians of the Reformation and students<br />
of wider Tudor culture.<br />

The Life and Writings of Immanuel Tremellius<br />
(c.1510–1580)<br />
Kenneth Austin, University of Bristol, UK<br />
St Andrews Studies in Reformation <strong>History</strong><br />
This book provides the first full-length study of the<br />
influential biblical scholar Immanuel Tremellius (1510–<br />
1580) since the late nineteenth century. It traces his<br />
conversion from Judaism, through Catholicism, to<br />
Protestantism, where he established a reputation as the<br />
leading scholar of Hebraic studies in Europe. Tremellius’s<br />
life not only reveals much about Reformation scholarship,<br />
but also about its attitudes to Jews and Jewish studies<br />
in an age of rapidly shifting theological doctrines.<br />

Princes, Clergy and People<br />
Edited by Bridget Heal, University of St Andrews,<br />
UK and Ole Grell, The Open University, UK<br />
St Andrews Studies in Reformation <strong>History</strong><br />
Recent decades have witnessed the fragmentation of<br />
Reformation studies. High-level research has tended to<br />
be confined within specific geographical, confessional<br />
or chronological boundaries. By bringing together<br />
scholars working on a wide variety of topics, this<br />
volume aims to counteract this centrifugal trend and<br />
to provide a broad perspective on the impact of the<br />
European reformation. The essays present new research<br />
from historians of politics, of the church and of belief.<br />
Their geographical scope ranges from Scotland and<br />
England via France and Germany to Transylvania<br />
and their chronological span from the 1520s to the<br />
1690s. They indicate the diverse directions in which<br />
Reformation scholarship is now moving, while<br />
reminding us of the need to understand particular<br />
developments within a broader European context.<br />
Together, they demonstrate that movements for religious<br />
reform left no sphere of European life untouched.<br />

Johann Sleidan and the<br />
Protestant Vision of <strong>History</strong><br />
Alexandra Kess, University of Zurich, Switzerland<br />
St Andrews Studies in Reformation <strong>History</strong><br />
Johann Sleidan (1506–1556) was the author of the<br />
first great history of the Protestant movement, and as<br />
such did much to influence how it was perceived by<br />
Catholics and Protestants alike. In this new study his<br />
life and works are comprehensively analyzed for the<br />
first time, exploring his roles as both diplomat and<br />
historian. In so doing, much is revealed about how<br />
many moderate statesmen and scholars sought to<br />
bridge the growing confessional divide and promote<br />
coexistence. Simultaneously, it also investigates how<br />
Protestantism began to search for, and manufacture,<br />
its own history independent of that espoused by the<br />
Catholic Church. By following these themes, this book<br />
offers a fascinating and timely look at an influential,<br />
yet largely forgotten, figure of the Reformation.<br />

Reformation (1519–1528)<br />
Austra Reinis, Missouri State University, Springfield<br />
St Andrews Studies in Reformation <strong>History</strong><br />
This study focuses on the earliest of Protestant<br />
handbooks that addressed the subject of death and<br />
dying. Beginning with Luther’s Sermon on Preparing<br />
to Die in 1519 and ending with Jakob Otter’s Christlich<br />
leben vnd sterben in 1528, it explores how Luther and<br />
his colleagues adopted traditional themes and motifs,<br />
transforming them to accord with their conviction that<br />
Christians could be certain of their salvation. It further<br />
shows how Luther’s colleagues drew on his writings, not<br />
only on dying, but also his sermons on the sacraments.<br />
The study concludes that the assurance of salvation that<br />
these works offered represented a significant change<br />
from traditional teaching on death.<br />

This book examines the struggle for Protestant<br />
consensus through the work of John a Lasco (1499–<br />
1560), particularly his book Forma ac ratio. Published<br />
in 1555, it records the rites and practices of the London<br />
Strangers’ Church and was intended to provide a model<br />
for uniting the disparate Protestant communities on<br />
the continent. By putting Lasco’s unique model for<br />
Protestant churches into the wider European context<br />
and assessing his impact on the struggle for unity, this<br />
book helps to re-establish Lasco as a pivotal figure<br />
of the reformation.<br />

The Counts of Laval<br />
Culture, Patronage and Religion<br />
in Fifteenth- and Sixteenth-Century France<br />
Malcolm Walsby, University of St Andrews, UK<br />
The Lavals were one of the most important families in<br />
late medieval France, rising to a position of unsurpassed<br />
eminence by the mid sixteenth century when all was<br />
put at risk by the dual challenges of dynastic failure<br />
and the Reformation. This monograph offers a fresh look<br />
at several of the critical questions facing historians of<br />
late medieval and early modern France. It re-examines<br />
the patronage of a rising and enterprising family<br />
and provides a new insight into the nature of noble<br />
Protestantism. It also considers the events of wars<br />
of religion in western France from the perspective<br />
of a noble leadership that simultaneously played<br />
a vital role in sustaining the cause and undermining it.<br />

Textual Construction of a National Identity<br />
Roze Hentschell, Colorado State University<br />
Exploring the intersections between the culture of the<br />
wool broadcloth industry and the imaginative literature<br />
of the early modern period, this study shows how the<br />
culture of the cloth industry was intrinsically connected<br />
to the development of emerging English nationalism. Each<br />
chapter ties a particular genre with a specific issue of<br />
the cloth industry, demonstrating the distinct work different<br />
literary genres contributed to the “culture of cloth.”<br />

Juan de Mariana and <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Modern</strong><br />
Spanish Political Thought<br />
Harald E. Braun, University of Liverpool, UK<br />
Catholic Christendom, 1300–1700<br />
Juan de Mariana’s 1599 treatise On the King and the<br />
Education of the King has generally been regarded<br />
as one of the early stepping stones towards a modern<br />
pluralist and democratic thought. Yet when his work is<br />
studied in detail and put into the context of Spanish and<br />
the wider European politics, and the ongoing dynamics<br />
of the Catholic Reformation, it can convincingly be<br />
argued that this is a misleading view. Instead, this book<br />
presents the case for viewing Mariana as a champion<br />
of Christian moral reform, concerned with the<br />
transformation of the Spanish monarchy under<br />
the leadership of the Church.<br />

Catholic Christendom, 1300–1700<br />
Examining Catholic elaboration on the relationship<br />
between state and Church in late Elizabethan and<br />
Jacobean England, this book casts light on the ways in<br />
which a distinctive religious minority was able to adapt<br />
itself within a singular political context. In so doing, it<br />
contributes to the significant question of how different<br />
religious affiliations could (or might) be integrated<br />
within one national reality, and how political allegiance<br />
and religious belief began to be perceived as two<br />
different identities within one context.<br />

Saint Cicero and the Jesuits<br />
The Influence of the Liberal Arts<br />
on the Adoption of Moral Probabilism<br />
Robert A. Maryks<br />
Catholic Christendom, 1300–1700<br />
Over the past decade various historians have examined<br />
the consequences of Ignatius Loyola’s decision to<br />
involve his newly approved Society of Jesus in various<br />
educational enterprises on the order’s self-identity and<br />
ministries. The first Jesuits emphasized the importance<br />
of spiritual conversation, preaching, and reconciliation,<br />
horizontally and vertically. In this monograph, Dr Maryks<br />
argues that Jesuit interest in classical learning, especially<br />
the works of Cicero, prompted them to re-examine their<br />
own concepts of conscience and confession, leading<br />
them to increasingly abandon traditional concepts<br />
of putting the demands of the law above the calls of<br />
their own conscience. Within a generation, Jesuits<br />
had abandoned the tutioristic approach which they<br />
had inherited. By integrating concepts of theology<br />
and classical humanism, this book offers a compelling<br />
account of how diverse forces could act upon<br />
a religious order to alter the central beliefs they<br />
held and promulgated.<br />
Contents: Introduction; <strong>Early</strong> Jesuit ministries; Polanco’s<br />

The argument of this book is that English interest in<br />
Italian reform created a nexus of Anglo-Italian contacts,<br />
an ‘Italian Connection’ which, in turn, influenced<br />
the development of the English Reformation. In three<br />
recurring themes, the book explores how humanism,<br />

strengthen the connection.<br />

support fledgling industry. Yet despite this consensus,<br />

The Fiscal Military State<br />
in Eighteenth-Century Europe<br />
Edited by Christopher Storrs, University<br />
of Dundee, UK<br />
In recent decades, historians of early modern Europe,<br />
and above all those who study the eighteenth century,<br />
elaborated the concept of what has been called the<br />
fiscal-military state. This volume of essays by leading<br />
authorities, all of whom have published widely on<br />
their chosen topic, explores the subject of the fiscalmilitary<br />
state by focusing on its leading exemplars<br />
in eighteenth century Europe. In addition, a further<br />
chapter considers the fiscal-military state in a broader,<br />
comparative international context, in the arena<br />
of international relations.<br />
Contents: Introduction, Christopher Storrs; The fiscalmilitary<br />
state and international rivalry during the long<br />
18th century, 1680s–1815, Hamish Scott; The Habsburg<br />

“…an extremely valuable contribution both to broadening<br />
and especially deepening our understanding of the<br />
impact of King William III’s statecraft…an excellent piece<br />
of often ground-breaking research, fully vindicating the<br />
business of patient work in widely dispersed archives…”<br />
—Jonathan I. Israel, Princeton University<br />
Hans Willem Bentinck, 1st Earl of Portland (1649–1709)<br />
was the closest confidant of William III and arguably<br />
the most important politician in Williamite Britain.<br />
This book not only provides a biographical account of<br />
Portland’s life, but also explores wider political themes<br />
within a European context. It connects Dutch and<br />
British historiography and significantly contributes to<br />
our understanding of British politics during the 1690s.<br />

1650–1720<br />
William III’s (1650–1702) reign as Stadholder in the<br />
United Provinces and King of England, Scotland and<br />
Ireland has always intrigued historians. This volume<br />
contains a number of innovative essays from specialists<br />
in the field, moving historical discussion away from<br />
the traditional analysis of single events to encompass<br />
William’s entire reign from a variety of political,<br />
religious, intellectual and cultural positions.<br />

The book addresses a little considered aspect of <strong>Early</strong><br />

international force both before and after the infamous<br />
revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. No scholarly,<br />
book-length appraisal of Huguenot soldiering has<br />
ever appeared and this volume presents a number<br />
of thematic and biographical studies that offer a useful<br />
insight into the unique experience of one of Europe’s<br />
best-known contemporary minorities and (later on)<br />
the people that gave the word “refugee” to the<br />

Florene S. Memegalos, Hunter College, City<br />
University of New York<br />
This first modern biography of George Goring, traces<br />
his life from its comfortable Sussex beginnings to the<br />
intrigues of court life, where he developed a reputation<br />
for drinking, gambling and fighting. It also charts his<br />
exploits on the continent, where he commanded<br />
a regiment in the service of the Dutch service,<br />
culminating in the siege of Breda. The remainder of<br />
the book relates his service to the Royalist cause during<br />
the English Civil War, and subsequent exile during<br />
the Commonwealth period. By reassessing the life of<br />
George Goring, not only do we learn more about an<br />
extraordinary individual, but much light is thrown upon<br />
the social, political, military and international history<br />
of the first half of the seventeenth century.<br />

‘Gold Tried in the Fire’.<br />
The Prophet TheaurauJohn Tany<br />
and the English Revolution<br />
Ariel Hessayon, Goldsmiths,<br />
University of London, UK<br />
“This work brilliantly extends our understanding of<br />
the radical protestant mind opened up by Christopher<br />
Hill and Paul Seaver—it will become a standard<br />
work for anyone wishing to explore radical sectarian<br />
mentalities of the English Revolution…The name Tany<br />
will become as familiar as that of William Walwyn,<br />
Lodwick Muggleton and Gerard Winstanley.”<br />
—Justin Champion, University of London, UK<br />
This is a study of the most fascinating and idiosyncratic<br />
of all seventeenth-century figures: Thomas Totney<br />
(1608–1659), a London puritan, goldsmith and veteran<br />
of the Civil War. In November 1649, after fourteen<br />
weeks of self-abasement, fasting and prayer, Totney<br />
experienced a profound spiritual transformation and<br />
declared himself TheaurauJohn Tany, “a Jew of the Tribe<br />
of Reuben” descended from Aaron the High Priest.<br />
During his prophetic phase Tany enacted a millenarian<br />
mission to restore the Jews to their own land and<br />
wrote a number of remarkable, but elusive works. By<br />
contextualizing and then unraveling the mind of this<br />
exceptional person, this book provides a clearer view<br />
of what it was like living in the wake of the English<br />
Revolution, when freed men and women spoke their<br />
minds and challenged the times.<br />

Seventeenth-Century England<br />
Todd Butler, Washington State University<br />
“Revisionist in the best sense of the word, Todd Butler’s<br />
study challenges long-standing stereotypes about the<br />
seventeenth-century’s hostility to the imagination,<br />
eloquently showing that even more than the Caroline<br />
court masquers, Bacon, Milton, and Hobbes made<br />
analyzing, defending, redefining, and shaping the<br />
popular imagination central to their political programs<br />
and ideals. A must-read for a wide range of specialists—<br />
literary, historical, cultural—in the period.”<br />
—Catherine Gimelli Martin, University of Memphis<br />
Grounded in the language of early moderns themselves,<br />
this study proposes a new epistemology of early modern<br />
politics, which sees human thought as a precursor<br />
to political action. In analyzing a wide variety of<br />
seventeenth-century English texts, Todd Butler reveals<br />
an early modern English society deeply concerned with<br />
the fundamentally imaginative nature of politics.<br />

of restricted activity in the region, until 1773, when the<br />
order was suppressed. Cluj, a city where the cultures<br />
of Eastern and Western Europe meet, represented the<br />
furthermost penetration into Orthodox Europe of the<br />
Baroque aesthetic and of the domination of the<br />
Habsburgs, supported and glorified by the Jesuits.<br />
The successes and failures of this religious order<br />
helped shape the history of the region for the next<br />
two centuries.<br />

his contributions to pneumatology, christology and<br />
ecclesiology. In this book, Carl Trueman presents a<br />

context, Trueman explores the significance of Owen’s<br />
work in ongoing debates on seventeenth century<br />

Owen’s theology was formulated and the shape of his<br />

The <strong>History</strong> of Medicine in Context<br />
This book explores poor relief and charitable health<br />
care in French cities during the seventeenth century,<br />
a period that witnessed much reform and change in the<br />
way these services were administered. By reintegrating<br />
the social aspirations of urban elites into the history of<br />
French poor relief, it shows how they initiated reform<br />
in towns and cities when it suited them, but where<br />
such reforms were not perceived as needed, or not<br />
affordable, they ignored central government edicts<br />
to build new institutions.<br />

Maritime Quarantine<br />
The British Experience, c.1650–1900<br />
John Booker<br />
The <strong>History</strong> of Medicine in Context<br />
As a maritime trading nation, the issue of quarantine<br />
was one of constant concern to Britain. While<br />
naturally keen to promote international trade, there<br />
was a constant fear of importing potentially devastating<br />
diseases into British territories. This groundbreaking<br />
study examines the methods by which British authorities<br />
sought to keep their territories free from contagious<br />
diseases, and the reactions to, and practical<br />
consequences of, these policies.<br />

Medicine and Religion<br />
in Enlightenment Europe<br />
Edited by Ole Peter Grell, The Open University,<br />
UK and Andrew Cunningham, University<br />
of Cambridge, UK<br />
The <strong>History</strong> of Medicine in Context<br />
This volume explores the relationship between<br />
medicine and religion during the Enlightenment Period,<br />
here understood as covering the years 1650 to 1789.<br />
It looks at this multi-faceted relationship with respect<br />
to: medical care and death in hospitals, religious<br />
vocation and nursing, chemical medicine and religion,<br />
the clergy and medicine and religious dissent and<br />
medical innovation, among others. Within these<br />
significant areas the volume provides a European<br />
perspective which will make it possible to draw<br />
comparisons and determine differences.<br />

Learning Medical Dispassion<br />
in <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Modern</strong> England<br />
Lynda Payne, University of Missouri, Kansas City<br />
The <strong>History</strong> of Medicine in Context<br />
In practice, medical practitioners, especially physicians<br />
and surgeons, have always had to learn some type<br />
of detachment or dispassion. To elucidate what was<br />
medical dispassion in seventeenth- and eighteenthcentury<br />
England, how and why it was taught, to whom,<br />
and in what spaces, each chapter of this book examines<br />
a community of practitioners and explores different<br />
patterns of medical education, clinical practice, social<br />
institutions, and philosophical and religious ideas.<br />

Melancholy and the<br />
Care of the Soul<br />
Religion, Moral Philosophy and Madness<br />
in <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Modern</strong> England<br />
Jeremy Schmidt, University of Victoria<br />
The <strong>History</strong> of Medicine in Context<br />
“…an original and important reassessment of madness<br />
and religion in early modern England. Jeremy Schmidt<br />
gracefully elucidates the intertwining of medicine,<br />
religion, and moral philosophy in the creation of the<br />
melancholic individual, whose ‘disease of the soul’<br />
was a product of the wider cultural crisis of the<br />
seventeenth century. Highly recommended.”<br />
—Anita Guerrini University of California, Santa Barbara<br />
This book furthers our understanding of the issue of<br />
melancholy in early modern culture by examining the<br />
extensive discussions of melancholy in seventeenthand<br />
eighteenth-century religious and moral philosophical<br />
publications, many of which have received only scant<br />
attention from modern scholars. As a study in intellectual<br />
history, Melancholy and the Care of the Soul offers<br />
new insights into a wide variety of early modern texts,<br />
including literary representations and medical works,<br />
and critically engages with a broad range of current<br />
scholarship in addressing some of the central<br />
interpretive issues in the history of early modern<br />
medicine, psychiatry, religion and culture.<br />

The Life and Career of William<br />
Paulet (c.1475–1572)<br />
Lord Treasurer and First Marquis<br />
of Winchester<br />
David Loades, University of Sheffield, UK<br />
Despite his remarkable, long life at the center of the<br />
Tudor court politics and English political life, this is the<br />
first full-length biography of Sir William Paulet. Born in<br />
Wiltshire in 1475, he lived to the advanced age of 97,<br />
during which time he held the posts of Lord Treasurer,<br />
Master of the King’s Wards, Controller of the Household,<br />
Lord Chamberlain and President of the Council. His<br />
intimate involvement with royal government under<br />
three successive monarchs makes Paulet one of the<br />
most influential men of his age, and a fascinating<br />
subject with which to explore the economic, political<br />
and ecclesiastical landscape of Tudor England.<br />

Filling a significant gap in the English language<br />
bibliography on the topic, this is the first full length<br />
study in English dedicated to seventeenth-century Italian<br />
travel writing, a fertile period for Italian contributions to<br />
the genre. Hester argues that many of the characteristic<br />

understood in terms of the larger question of Italian<br />

Marriage, Manners and Mobility<br />
in <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Modern</strong> Venice<br />
Alexander Cowan, Northumbria University, UK<br />
Historical Urban Studies Series<br />
Throughout history, marriage has been used as a<br />
method of creating and strengthening bonds between<br />
society’s ruling elites. Nowhere is this more apparent<br />
than in early modern Venice, where members of the<br />
urban patrician class looked to marital alliances to help<br />
maintain their position and social distinction in a fluid<br />
society. This book explores these social relationships<br />
and the ways in which they were mediated through<br />
the links created by marriage. It looks at the changing<br />
composition of the Venetian ruling elite during the<br />
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, examining the<br />
complex relationship between the patrician class<br />
and the rest of society.<br />

‘Material Delight and the<br />
Joy of Living’<br />
Cultural Consumption in the Age<br />
of Enlightenment in Germany<br />
Michael North, Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universität,<br />
Germany translated by Pamela Selwyn<br />
Eighteenth-century Europe witnessed a<br />
commercialisation of culture. The marketing of<br />
culture separated itself from the production of culture<br />
and new cultural entrepreneurs entered the stage.<br />
Cultural consumption played a substantial role in<br />
creating social identity. In this book Michael North<br />
systematically explores this field for the first time in<br />
regard to the Continent, and especially to eighteenthcentury<br />
Germany. Chapters focus on the new forms<br />
of entertainment (concerts, theatre, opera, reading<br />
societies, travelling) on the one hand and on the new<br />
material culture (fashion, gardens, country houses,<br />
furniture) on the other. For this reason the reception of<br />
English culture on the Continent is in the centre of the<br />
discussion, whereby the competition of English and<br />
French fashions in the homes of German elites and<br />
burghers attracts special attention. The book closes with<br />
an investigation of the role of cultural consumption<br />
for identity formation, demonstrating the integration<br />
of Germany into a European cultural identity/ taste<br />
discourse during the eighteenth century.<br />

Monuments and Memory<br />
in <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Modern</strong> England<br />
Peter Sherlock, University of Melbourne, Australia<br />
This book is a study of the material culture of memory<br />
in sixteenth and seventeenth-century England, in the<br />
form of monuments to the dead. By interpreting<br />
messages of their images and inscriptions, it explores<br />
how early modern people wanted to be remembered—<br />
their social vision, cultural ideals, religious beliefs and<br />
political values. Through careful reading of monuments,<br />
Dr Sherlock shows that much can be learned about how<br />
men and women conceived of the world around them<br />
and shifting concepts of gender, social order and the<br />
place of humans within the universe.<br />

everyday gardening practice. Jennifer Munroe here<br />

Women and Portraits<br />
in <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Modern</strong> Europe<br />
Gender, Agency, Identity<br />
Edited by Andrea Pearson, Bloomsburg University<br />
Women and Gender in the <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Modern</strong> World<br />
“Making a significant contribution to the field of early<br />
modern European visual culture, this volume focusing<br />
on portraits of women asks…how image-making<br />
functioned as an act of agency in Renaissance<br />
and Baroque Europe.”<br />
—Julia Marciari Alexander, Yale University<br />
As one of the first books to treat portraits of early<br />
modern women as a discrete subject, this volume<br />
considers the possibilities and limits of agency and<br />
identity for women in history and, with particular<br />
attention to gender, as categories of analysis for<br />
women’s images. Nine original essays on Italy, the<br />
Low Countries, Germany, France and England deepen<br />
the usefulness of these analytical tools for portraiture.<br />

Perceptions of Retailing<br />

Nancy Cox and Karin Dannehl,<br />
both at University of Wolverhampton, UK<br />
The <strong>History</strong> of Retailing and Consumption<br />
Whilst there has been much recent scholarly work on<br />
retailing during the early-modern period, much less is<br />
known about how people at the time perceived retailing.<br />
Centered around the general theme of perceptions, this<br />
book addresses this gap in our knowledge, looking at<br />
a different aspect of consumption. This book will prove<br />
essential reading for anyone interested in British social<br />
and economic history in the early modern period and<br />
among those interested with the history of retailing and<br />
of consumption. Although first and foremost a book<br />
written by historians for historians, it nevertheless<br />
borrows concepts and approaches from various<br />
disciplines concerned with theories of consumption,<br />
material culture, and representational art.<br />

relationship between the ‘magnificence’ of Renaissance<br />
palaces and the ‘splendor’ of their interiors…Teachers,<br />
students and the general reader will find this book<br />
a pleasure to read.”<br />
—Alison Brown, Royal Holloway, University of London<br />
Highlighting how classical theory and Renaissance<br />
practice intersected in quattrocento Florence, this<br />
book offers a more nuanced understanding of the early<br />
modern urban palace. Using unpublished inventories,<br />
private documents and surviving domestic objects,<br />
Lindow’s groundbreaking study considers fifteenthcentury<br />
palazzi as complete entities, demonstrating<br />
how magnificence extended beyond the exterior<br />
to the splendid interior where virtuous expenditure<br />
could and should be displayed.<br />

Restoration Ireland<br />
Always Settling and Never Settled<br />
Edited by Coleman Dennehy, University College<br />
Dublin, Republic of Ireland<br />
In recent decades, the historiography of early modern<br />
Ireland in general, and of the seventeenth century in<br />
particular, has been revitalized. However, while much<br />
of this new work has focused either on the critical<br />
decades of the 1640s or the Williamite wars, the<br />
Restoration period still remains largely neglected.<br />
As such this volume provides an opportunity to explore<br />
the period between 1660 and 1688, and reassess some<br />
of the crucial events it witnessed.<br />

Roger L’Estrange and the<br />
Making of Restoration Culture<br />
Edited by Anne Dunan-Page, Université Paul Valéry,<br />
Montpellier III, France and Beth Lynch, Newnham<br />
College, UK<br />
Roger L’Estrange (1616–1704) was one of the most<br />
remarkable, significant and colorful figures in seventeenthcentury<br />
England. This collection of essays by leading<br />
scholars of the period highlights the instrumental role<br />
he played in the shaping of the political, literary and<br />
print cultures of the Restoration period. Taking an<br />
interdisciplinary approach the volume covers all the<br />
major aspects of his career, as well as situating them in<br />
their broader historical and literary context. By examining<br />
his career in this way the book offers insights that will<br />
prove of worth to political, social, religious and cultural<br />
historians, as well as those interested in seventeenthcentury<br />
literary and book history.<br />

Sir Walter Ralegh’s<br />
Discoverie of Guiana<br />
Edited by Joyce Lorimer, Wilfrid Laurier University<br />
Hakluyt Society, Third Series: 15<br />
Sir Walter Ralegh’s account of his 1595 expedition<br />
in search of the fabled empire of El Dorado was an<br />
immediate publishing success and is one of the most<br />
important pieces of Elizabethan travel literature. This<br />
edition presents the annotated texts of an unpublished<br />
copy of Ralegh’s draft of The Discoverie of the Large,<br />
Rich, and Bewtifvl Empyre of Gviana and the subsequent<br />
printed versions. It demonstrates how the manuscript<br />
was altered for publication, to focus its appeal<br />
to investors in gold mines for which Ralegh<br />
had very little evidence.<br />

Spenser’s Irish Work<br />
Poetry, Plantation and Colonial Reformation<br />
Thomas Herron, East Carolina University<br />
“A scholarly look beyond the debilitating anxieties<br />
of some Spenser criticism towards Spenser’s Irish<br />
elements…A superb addition to the gathering wave of<br />
historical approaches to Spenser. The effective entry of<br />
real history into reading Spenser has profound results for<br />
interpretation and understanding…Herron sets a high<br />
example which cannot be ignored.”<br />
—J. B. Lethbridge, Tübingen University<br />
Exploring Spenser’s work within the historical and<br />
aesthetic context of colonial agricultural reform in<br />
Ireland, this study demonstrates how Irish events operate<br />
in more of Spenser’s poetry than previously suspected. It<br />
explores neglected Irish material in the work of Spenser’s<br />
contemporaries and Elizabethan pageantry in the 1590s.<br />
Taking in history, religion, geography, classics and<br />
colonial studies, as well as early modern literature<br />
and Irish and bardic studies, this book constitutes<br />
a valuable addition to Spenser scholarship.<br />

Jewish Life in <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Modern</strong> Rome<br />
Challenge, Conversion, and Private Life<br />
Kenneth Stow, University of Haifa, Israel<br />
Variorum Collected Studies Series: CS879<br />
The essays in this second volume by Kenneth Stow<br />
examine why in 1555, Pope Paul IV collected Rome’s<br />
established Jewish population—whose members<br />
were legally cives and integrated into the city’s Italian<br />
culture—in a ghetto, there to remain for three hundred<br />
years, in the hope for their conversion. At the same time,<br />
he explores the social and family life of this community,<br />
and shows how, though increasingly impoverished and<br />
powerless, these Jews managed to salvage much of their<br />
internal culture and institutions.<br />

amalgamation, like it or not: inheritance in early<br />

The Virgilian Tradition<br />
Book <strong>History</strong> and the <strong>History</strong> of Reading<br />
in <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Modern</strong> Europe<br />
Craig Kallendorf, Texas A&M University<br />
Variorum Collected Studies Series: CS885<br />
The essays in this collection approach the reception<br />
of the Roman poet Virgil in early modern Europe from<br />
the perspective of two areas at the center of current<br />
scholarly work in the humanities: book history and<br />
the history of reading. The first group of essays looks<br />
at broader questions, of traditional notions of literary<br />
practice and value, or how rhetoric helps shape literary<br />
criticism. The author then focuses on how title pages<br />
and illustrations help shape interpretation, and the<br />
comments that early modern readers regularly entered<br />
into the margins of their books. The volume concludes<br />
with four more specialized studies that show how these<br />
larger issues play out in specific neo-Latin works of the<br />
early modern period.<br />
Contents: Preface; Philology, the reader and the<br />
nachleben of classical texts; Marginalia and the rise of<br />
early modern subjectivity; The rhetorical criticism of<br />
literature in early Italian humanism from Boccaccio to<br />
Landino; Virgil’s post-classical legacy; Proverbs, censors<br />
and schools: neo-Latin studies and book history; The<br />
Virgilian title page as interpretive frame; or, through the<br />
looking glass; The Aeneid transformed: illustration as<br />
interpretation from the renaissance to the present; In<br />
search of a patron: Anguillara’s vernacular Virgil and the<br />
print culture of renaissance Italy; In the margins of Virgil:<br />
Venetian renaissance books in the Biblioteca Nazionale<br />
Marciana and their early readers; Cristoforo Landino,<br />
Andrea Tordi and the reading practices of renaissance<br />
humanism; Virgil, Dante and empire in Italian thought,<br />
1300–1500; Inclyta Aeneis: a 16th-century neo-Latin<br />

Text/Events in <strong>Early</strong><br />
<strong>Modern</strong> England<br />
Poetics of <strong>History</strong><br />
Sandra Logan, Michigan State University<br />
Engaging with the mutually constitutive conjunctions<br />
of experience and inscription in Elizabethan England—<br />
what Sandra Logan calls the “text/event”—this study<br />
considers multiple accounts of four historical events:<br />
Elizabeth’s 1558 coronation entry; the 1575 Kenilworth<br />
entertainments; the reign of Richard II; and the 1601<br />
Essex trial. The book traces an emergent trend in<br />
representational practice, whereby popular accounts<br />
produce a sense of immediate experience that is richer<br />

Theatricality and Narrative<br />
in Medieval and <strong>Early</strong><br />
<strong>Modern</strong> Scotland<br />
John J. McGavin, University of Southampton, UK<br />
Studies in Performance and <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Modern</strong> Drama<br />
John McGavin here analyzes narrative accounts of<br />
public theatricality in late medieval and early modern<br />
Scottish culture (pre-1645). He shows that journals,<br />
memoirs and chronicles record events which were<br />
often ambiguous in genre, confrontational in action and<br />
aimed at both present and future “spectators.” McGavin<br />
demonstrates that early Scottish culture is revealed<br />
as much in its processes of witnessing as in that<br />
which it claims to witness.<br />

Theology and Science<br />
in the Thought of Francis Bacon<br />
Steven Matthews, University of Minnesota<br />
Although many books have been published on Francis<br />
Bacon there is still no scholarly consensus on his<br />
religious beliefs and how they may have affected his<br />
work. This monograph contributes possible answers<br />
to the questions of what Bacon believed and how it<br />
may have affected the development of his program for<br />
scientific reform, the ‘Great Instauration.’ The work<br />
also offers a new approach to the question of the<br />
interaction of religion and science in early modern<br />
England by considering the effect of patristic theology<br />
on the development of new ways of considering the<br />
relationship of God and nature, and the place of human<br />
beings in the cosmos.<br />
Contents: Preface; Breaking with a puritan past;<br />
Bacon’s turn toward the ancient faith; In the beginning:<br />
the creation of nature and the nature of the fall; On<br />
the ways of salvation: Bacon’s 2-fold via salutis; In the<br />
autumn of the world: features of the age of instauration;<br />

building and economic change on the transformation<br />
of medieval urban communities into early<br />
modern societies.<br />

The International Library of Essays on Military <strong>History</strong><br />
The early modern period saw gunpowder weapons<br />
reach maturity and become a central feature of<br />
European warfare, on land and at sea. This exciting<br />
collection of essays brings together a distinguished<br />
and varied selection of modern scholarship on the<br />

Giulio Cesare Brancaccio<br />
and the Performance of Identity<br />
in the Late Renaissance<br />
Richard Wistreich, Newcastle University, UK<br />
Giulio Cesare Brancaccio was a Neapolitan nobleman<br />
with long practical experience of military life. He was<br />
also a virtuoso bass singer whose performances were<br />
praised by both Tasso and Guarini. Richard Wistreich<br />
examines Brancaccio’s life in detail and considers the<br />
mental and social world of a warrior and courtier with<br />
musical skills in a broader context. He also illustrates<br />
the use of music in the process of “self-fashioning” and<br />
the role of performance of all kinds in the construction<br />
of male noble identity within court culture, including<br />
the nature and currency of honour, chivalric virtù<br />
and sixteenth-century notions of gender and virility<br />
in relation to musical performance<br />

Contemporary Editions<br />
Presenting a remarkable set of previously unpublished<br />
papers, this book concerns the bewitchment, possession<br />

exile in an English convent in the Spanish Netherlands.<br />
The papers reveal unprecedented detail about their lives<br />
before, during and after exorcism so that, for the first<br />
time in 350 years, we can hear their voices—and their<br />
silences—resound in all their vibrancy.<br />

“…the author’s assiduous research has assembled as<br />

Drawing on a comprehensive range of early modern<br />
British, German and other European images and texts,<br />
this study offers the first interdisciplinary gendered<br />
assessment of early modern performing itinerant quacks.<br />
The contribution of women is taken as the focus for an<br />

Women Players in England, �<br />

Beyond the All-Male Stage<br />
Edited by Pamela Allen Brown,<br />
University of Connecticut and Peter Parolin,<br />
University of Wyoming<br />
Studies in Performance and <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Modern</strong> Drama<br />
“The essays come packed with revelatory evidence<br />
gleaned from an impressive compilation of recent<br />
research—material that adds a sense of fresh discovery<br />
to the scrupulous historical examination and analyses…<br />
This book will appeal to those exploring women’s<br />
studies as well as to those probing early modern<br />
drama…Highly recommended.”<br />
—Choice<br />
Offering evidence of women’s extensive contributions to<br />
the theatrical landscape, this volume sharply challenges<br />
the assumption that the stage was “all male” in early<br />
modern England. The editors and contributors argue<br />
that the pervasiveness of female performance affected<br />
cultural production, even on the professional London<br />
stages that used men and boys for women’s parts. In<br />
short, Women Players in England 1500–1660 shows<br />
that women were dynamic cultural players in the<br />
early modern world.<br />

Women’s Work and Identity in<br />
Eighteenth-Century Brittany<br />
Nancy Locklin, Maryville College<br />
Based on a solid foundation of archival research that<br />
ranges from tax rolls to notarial records, this study adds<br />
an important chapter to our understanding of women in<br />
pre-industrial Europe. Through a rigorous examination<br />
of primary documents peculiar to eighteenth-century<br />
Brittany, the author demonstrates the difficulties<br />
engendered in broad generalities about European<br />
women, and makes a strong case for the necessity for<br />
historians to account for regional differences in women’s<br />
experiences.<br />

including travel narratives, promotional literature, plays,<br />
poetry and journals, this book examines the ways in<br />
which the geography and nature of the new colonies<br />

The University of Google<br />
Education in the (Post) Information Age<br />
Tara Brabazon, University of Brighton, UK<br />
“The University of Google is my book of the year for<br />
2007…It will have a huge impact on everyone in higher<br />
education, helping those suspicious of new media to<br />
formulate their criticisms and those eager to adopt it<br />
better placed to introduce it appropriately.”<br />
—Frank Webster, City University London, UK<br />
Looking at schools and universities, it is difficult to<br />
pinpoint when education, teaching and learning started<br />
to hemorrhage purpose, aspiration and function. As the<br />
internet offers a glut of information; bored surfers fill<br />
their cursors and minds with irrelevancies, losing the<br />
capacity to sift, discard and judge. In The University of<br />
Google, Tara Brabazon projects a defiant and passionate<br />
vision of education as a pathway to renewal, where<br />
students are on a journey through knowledge, rather<br />
than consumers in the shopping center of cheap ideas.<br />
In doing so, she opens a new debate on how to make<br />
our educational system both productive and provocative<br />
in the (post-) information age.<br />

Now in its second edition, this international bestselling<br />

on helping people overcome some of the most common<br />
obstacles to successful publication. Lack of time? An<br />
unconscious fear of rejection? Conflicting priorities?<br />
In this, the first book to address the subject, Abby<br />
Day explains how to overcome these obstacles and<br />
create publishable papers for journals most likely<br />
to publish them.<br />
