Frances Isabella Duberly - Mrs Duberly's War, Jour nal and Letters from the Crimea, 1854-6 (2007).jpg

Mrs Duberly's journal is one of the most vivid eye-witness accounts we have of the Crimean War. Fanny Duberly, then aged 25, accompanied her husband to the Crimea in 1854, and remained there until the end of the fighting, the only officer's wife to remain throughout the entire campaign. She survived the severe winter of 1854-55, witnessed the battle of Balaklava and the charge of the Light Brigade, and rode through the ruins of Sebastopol.

Chris Wickham - Framing the Early Middle Ages, Eur ope and the Mediterranean, 400-800 (2005).jpg

The Roman empire tends to be seen as a whole whereas the early middle ages tends to be seen as a collection of regional histories, roughly corresponding to the land-areas of modern nation states. As a result, early medieval history is much more fragmented, and there have been few convincing syntheses of socio-economic change in the post-Roman world since the 1930s. In recent decades, the rise of early medieval archaeology has also transformed our source-base, but this has not been adequately integrated into analyses of documentary history in almost any country.

In Framing the Early Middle Ages Chris Wickham aims at integrating documentary and archaeological evidence together, and also, above all, at creating a comparative history of the period 400-800, by means of systematic comparative analyses of each of the regions of the latest Roman and immediately post-Roman world, from Denmark to Egypt (only the Slav areas are left out). The book concentrates on classic socio-economic themes, state finance, the wealth and identity of the aristocracy, estate management, peasant society, rural settlement, cities, and exchange. These are only a partial picture of the period, but they are intended as a framing for other developments, without which those other developments cannot be properly understood.

Wickham argues that only a complex comparative analysis can act as the basis for a wider synthesis. Whilst earlier syntheses have taken the development of a single region as 'typical', with divergent developments presented as exceptions, this book takes all different developments as typical, and aims to construct a synthesis based on a better understanding of difference and the reasons for it. This is the most ambitious and original survey of the period ever written.

Larry Scanlon - The Cambridge Companion to Medieva l English Literature 1100-1500 (2009).jpg

The medieval period was one of extraordinary literary achievement sustained over centuries of great change, anchored by the Norman invasion and its aftermath, the re-emergence of English as the nation's leading literary language in the fourteenth century and the advent of print in the fifteenth. This Companion spans four full centuries to survey this most formative and turbulent era in the history of literature in English. Exploring the period's key authors - Chaucer, Langland, the Gawain-Poet, Margery Kempe, among many - and genres - plays, romances, poems and epics - the book offers an overview of the riches of medieval writing. The essays map out the flourishing field of medieval literary studies and point towards new directions and approaches. Designed to be accessible to students, the book also features a chronology and guide to further reading.

Barbara A. West - A Brief History of Australia (20 10).jpg

Taking a largely chronological approach, A Brief History of Australia looks at social, cultural, economic, and political trends in the country's long history, shedding light on its unique and complex identity. Beginning with the peopling of the continent about 60,000 years ago, the volume examines the early history and culture of the Aboriginals. It continues with the first documented sighting of the landmass by a European in the 17th century, followed by a discussion of the colonial period in the 18th and 19th centuries. From the Federation of 1901 to the Liberal government of John Howard (1998 to 2007) and the Labor government of John Rudd (2007 present), this new book explores Australia's relationship to the British Crown, national security and education policy, the role of sport and environmental issues, Aboriginal rights, women's history, and gay rights. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

William E. Burns - A Brief History of Great Britai n (2010).jpg

Great Britain has long been one of the most influential countries. Its early role as the world's leading naval power and its position at the center of the Industrial Revolution enabled it to expand and maintain its influence over an area that touched all continents and covered more than one-fifth of the globe. Yet Britain's history has also been shaped by centuries of internal political strife and international conflict.

A Brief History of Great Britain narrates the story of Brittania from the earliest times to the 21st century, covering England, Wales, and Scotland; associated archipelagos such as the Channel Islands and the Orkneys; and Ireland as they have influenced British history. The crux of this volume is the development of the British kingdom, including its rise and decline on the world stage. The book offers a clear chronological political narrative while treating major social, economic, and religious issues.

Edward Berenson - Heroes of Empire, Five Charismat ic Men and the Conquest of Africa (2010).jpg

During the decades of empire (1870-1914), legendary heroes and their astonishing deeds of conquest gave imperialism a recognizable human face. Henry Morton Stanley, Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza, Charles Gordon, Jean-Baptiste Marchand, and Hubert Lyautey all braved almost unimaginable dangers among "savage" people for their nation's greater good. This vastly readable book, the first comparative history of colonial heroes in Britain and France, shows via unforgettable portraits the shift from public veneration of the peaceful conqueror to unbridled passion for the vanquishing hero. Edward Berenson argues that these five men transformed the imperial steeplechase of those years into a powerful "heroic moment." He breaks new ground by linking the era's "new imperialism" to its "new journalism"--the penny press--which furnished the public with larger-than-life figures who then embodied each nation's imperial hopes and anxieties.

Susan Reynolds - Fiefs and Vassals, The Medieval E vidence Reinterpreted (1996).jpg

Fiefs and Vassals is a book that will change our view of the medieval world. Offering a fundamental challenge to orthodox conceptions of feudalism, Susan Reynolds argues that the concepts of fiefs and vassalage that have been central to the understanding of medieval society for hundreds of years are in fact based on a misunderstanding of the primary sources.
Reynolds demonstrates convincingly that the ideas of fiefs and vassalage as currently understood, far from being the central structural elements of medieval social and economic relations, are a conceptual lens through which historians have focused the details of medieval life. This lens, according to Reynolds, distorts more than it clarifies. With the lens removed, the realities of medieval life will have the chance to appear as they really are: more various, more individual, more complex, and perhaps richer than has previously been supposed.
This is a radical new examination of social relations within the noble class and between lords and their vassals, the distillation of wide-ranging research by a leading medieval historian. It will revolutionize the way we think of the Middle Ages.

David Rohrbacher - Historians of Late Antiquity (2 002).jpg

The fourth and fifth centuries AD were an era of religious conflict, political change, and military struggle; they were in short a period of profound change as new ideas and changing empires challenged and disrupted the ancient world. The historians of these turbulent times were a diverse group and their individual backgrounds reflected the world they observed and recorded. They were both pagan and Christian, writing in both Greek and Latin, and documented church and state.
Here the reader will find a survey of their lives and their writings. The first half explores the structure, style and purpose of their writings and the second compares and contrasts the information they provide and the views they express so that the reader will not only gain a sense of them as individuals but will benefit from having multiple vantage points on a fascinating time.

This major new survey of the Ottoman Empire, 1700-1922, strikes a balance among social, economic, and political history.

All History - Norman Yoffee - Myths of the Archaic State, Evolution... the Earliest Cities, States, and Civilizations 2004.jpg

Classical archaeology promotes the view that a state's evolution reflects general, universal forces. Norman Yoffee challenges the model in this book by presenting more complex and multi-linear models for the evolution of civilizations. Yoffee questions the definition of the prehistoric state, particularly that which heralds "the chiefdom" as the forerunner of the ancient state and explores case studies on the role of women in ancient societies.
