John Dickie - Darkest Italy, The Nation and Stereo types of the Mezzogiorno, 1860-1900 (1999).jpg

Defining a nation's identity can involve the use of an "other," a foreign and alien group to which the bourgeoisie can (favorably) compare themselves. For newly united Italy in the late 19th century, that group was its own southern inhabitants, especially Sicilians. Southerners were seen as violent, ill-mannered brigands and peasants, barely able to function in a civilized, industrialized society. Dickie (Italian studies, Univ. College, London) sketches aspects of this dialectic in four short essays, examining the objectification of southerners by politicians, writers, and the public at large. Dickie's tone is dense and theoretical enough to limit its audience to advanced scholars. Some of the sections are too narrow and specific, while others try to tackle too many topics too quickly. While some good points are made, the result is somewhat esoteric. For academic libraries with strong Italy collections only.ARobert Persing, Univ. of Pennsylvania Lib., Philadelphia.

Marta V. Vicente - Clothing the Spanish Empire, Fa milies and the Calico Trade in the Early Modern At lantic World (2006).jpg

All History - Marta V. Vicente - Clothing the Spanish Empire, Famil... Calico Trade in the Early Modern Atlantic World 2006.jpg

"This lively, innovative, fascinating study shows just how important the family was in the calico trade of the early modern Atlantic world. This important book rethinks not just the history of the family but also some core assumptions of economic history; it is a remarkable achievement."
--Barry Reay, Professor of History, University of Auckland (New Zealand), and author of Microhistories: Demography, Society, and Culture in Rural England, 1800-1930

"Marta V. Vicente has written a history of calico as lively, colorful, and vivid as the printed fabrics themselves. Using a model of family and household to explore a crucial period in economic history, she presents the stories of families whose networks of blood radiated from the industrial and commercial center of early modern Barcelona to span the Atlantic world. This history is not limited to Spain and its empire, however, for Vicente questions traditional assumptions about the development of industrial capitalism, such as the mutual antagonism of workshops and factories, the economic functions of guilds, the significance of social capital, and the roles of sentiment and emotion in economic adventures."
--Mary Elizabeth Perry, Professor of History, Occidental College

"This book makes us rethink Spain's weak industrialization as Vicente vividly demonstrates the strength and innovation of Barcelona's calico industry. However, more than providing just an economic history, by viewing the calico industry through the lens of family history, Vicente has unraveled the changing fortunes and fashions of the men and women of eighteenth century Spain."
--Allyson M. Poska, Associate Professor of History, and author of Women and Authority in Early Modern Spain

"Examining the calico industry during the eighteenth century by bringing in family and gender history, Vicente provides a depth of analysis unequalled by any other study of the textile trade and fashion in the early modern Spanish empire. Meticulously researched and lucidly presented, this book greatly deepens our understanding of the complex role of women and the family within the contours of one of the most vibrant industries of the eighteenth century. Readers of the stories of familial and commercial businesses that Vicente weaves into her study will be enriched by this careful piece of social history."
--Sherry Velasco, Professor of Spanish, University of Southern California

Mary Dockray-Miller - Motherhood and Mothering in Anglo-Saxon England (2003).jpg

Motherhood and Mothering in Anglo-Saxon England sifts through the historical evidence to describe and analyze a world of violence and intrigue, where mothers needed to devise their own systems to protect, nurture, and teach their children. Mary Dockray-Miller casts a maternal eye on Bede, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, and Beowulf to reveal mothers who created rituals, genealogies, and institutions for their children and themselves. Little-known historical figures--queens, abbesses, and other noblewomen--used their power in court and convent to provide education, medical care, and safety for their children, showing us that mothers of a thousand years ago and mothers of today had many of the same goals and aspirations.

Michal Kobialka - Medieval Practices of Space (200 0).jpg

Interprets space and place in the medieval era.
A glance at medieval maps tells us that cartographers of the Middle Ages divided space differently than we do today. In the great mappae mundi, for instance, Jerusalem takes center stage, with an image of the crucified Christ separating one place from another. The architects of medieval cathedrals manipulated space to clarify the roles and status of anyone who crossed the threshold. Even in the most everyday context, space was allotted according to gender and class and was freighted with infinitely subtle and various meanings. The contributors to this volume cross disciplinary and theoretical boundaries to read the words, metaphors, images, signs, poetic illusions, and identities with which medieval men and women used space or place to add meaning to the world.

Patricia Sieber - Theaters of Desire, Authors, Rea ders, and the Reproduction of Early Chinese Song-D rama, 1300-2000 (2003).jpg

All History - Patricia Sieber - Theaters of Desire, Authors, Reader...oduction of Early Chinese Song-Drama, 1300-2000 2003.jpg

Blending a flair for textual nuance with theoretical engagement, Theaters of Desire not only contributes to our understanding of the most influential form of early Chinese song-drama in local and international cultural contexts, but adds a Chinese perspective to the scholarship on print culture, authorship, and the regulatory discourses of desire. The book argues that, particularly between 1550 and 1680, Chinese elite editors rewrote and printed early plays and songs, so-called Yuan-dynasty zaju and sanqu, to imagine and embody new concepts of authorship, readership and desire, an interpretation that contrasts starkly with the national and racially-oriented reception of song-drama developed by European critics after 1735 and subsequently modified by Japanese and Chinese critics after 1897. By analyzing the critical and material facets of the early song and play tradition across different historical periods and cultural settings, Theaters of Desire presents a compelling case study of literary canon formation.

Paul Gillen, Devleena Ghosh - Colonialism and Mode rnity (2007).jpg

For five centuries, colonialism and modernity have profoundly shaped the cultures of the world. This book traces these interacting long-term historical processes, and the parallel history of anti-colonial movements and ideas. It outlines the rise to global dominance of Europe since the 16th century, and the attendant modernity that shaped and defined this rise. Gillen and Ghosh show how colonialism and modernity dramatically changed the lives of the colonised peoples, the invading settlers who established overseas colonies, those who remained in Europe, and the diasporas created by invasions, slavery, indentured labour and voluntary migration.

Paulos Milkias, Getachew Metaferia - The Battle of Adwa, Reflections on Ethiopia's Historic Victory Against European Colonialism (2005).jpg

All History - Paulos Milkias, Getachew Metaferia - The Battle of Ad...s Historic Victory Against European Colonialism 2005.jpg

Ethiopia's warriors earned an outstanding reputation over a hundred years ago.
In the 19th-century Scramble for Africa, when the Europeans carved up an entire continent for exploitation, Africans won a solitary, shocking, glorious victory at Adwa (Ethiopia). The most celebrated military operation involving the Africans and the Europeans since the time of Hannibal, this emblematic victory still resounds in the minds of Africans and the African diaspora as promise of potential and an illustration of the dictum, strength in unity.
Nine scholars analyze the unique Ethiopian victory at Adwa, pondering the factors that brought success, the putative missed opportunities for securing the future integrity of the Ethiopian territory, and the lessons to be learned.
Rising above their regional rivalries and local concerns, all facets of this multi-ethnic society pulled together to defeat the Italian invaders who were armed with vastly more sophisticated technology and had the support of all of Europe.
For the victors it was decisive; for the vanquished, catastrophic. The Italian colonialist soldiers were crushed. Their casualty figure was 70%; all their artillery pieces were captured, one out of four of their generals was taken prisoner and two of the remaining as well as almost half of their staff officers were killed on the battlefield.
The event and its implications have much to say about Ethiopia s subsequent development, the secession of Eritrea, and relations with external powers. It also reveals much about the machinations of global powers and the dangers they pose to weaker nations, and most specifically international influence in Africa.
The Ethiopian victory at the Battle of Adwa has remained a very important event in the shared recollection of the entire African people. It is the only secular episode in the whole history of Africa that has been celebrated for more than a century with unabated popular enthusiasm.
A phenomenon such as Adwa is a complex nexus of various historical processes with wide ranging but as yet not fully explored meanings. The contributors to this collection show that Adwa does not only reflect its time, but that it also transcends it, and that the aspirations and meanings that flow from it have been a powerful constitutive force in the rise and evolution of modern Africa Indeed, it is an event that awakened the hope for emancipation and the struggle against colonialism and racism among Africans in the colonies and in the Diaspora.

As every year goes by the number of people able to give a first hand account of day-to-day life in the early part of the last century naturally diminishes. The small but telling detail disappears. Ethel May Elvin was born in 1906; she recalls her father's account of standing sentry at Queen Victoria's funeral, the privations and small pleasures of a working-class Edwardian childhood, growing up through the First World War and surviving the Second. Anyone intrigued by the small events of history and how the majority actually lived day-to-day, will find this a unique and fascinating book.

Joseph Loewenstein - The Author's Due, Printing an d the Prehistory of Copyright (2002).jpg

The Author's Due offers an institutional and cultural history of books, the book trade, and the bibliographic ego. Joseph Loewenstein traces the emergence of possessive authorship from the establishment of a printing industry in England to the passage of the 1710 Statute of Anne, which provided the legal underpinnings for modern copyright. Along the way he demonstrates that the culture of books, including the idea of the author, is intimately tied to the practical trade of publishing those books.

As Loewenstein shows, copyright is a form of monopoly that developed alongside a range of related protections such as commercial trusts, manufacturing patents, and censorship, and cannot be understood apart from them. The regulation of the press pitted competing interests and rival monopolistic structures against one another—guildmembers and nonprofessionals, printers and booksellers, authors and publishers. These struggles, in turn, crucially shaped the literary and intellectual practices of early modern authors, as well as early capitalist economic organization.

With its probing look at the origins of modern copyright, The Author's Due will prove to be a watershed for historians, literary critics, and legal scholars alike.

Kathleen Ashley, Editors,Robert L. A. Clark - Medi eval Conduct (2001).jpg

What do books on how to behave tell us about society during the Middle Ages?
Rather than accepting the conventional view of conduct books as simply prescriptive, the contributors to this volume take advantage of the opportunity conduct literature offers for examining the link between prescription and historical practice. Focusing on a broad range of texts from England, France, Germany, and Italy-conduct and courtesy books, advise poems, devotional literature, trial records-the contributors to Medieval Conduct draw attention to the diverse ways in which readers of this literature could interpret such behavioral guides, appropriating them to their own ends.
Medieval Conduct expands the concept of conduct to include historicized practices, and theorizes the connection between texts and their concrete social uses; what emerges is a nuanced interpretation of the role of gender and class inscribed in such texts. By bringing to light these subtleties and complexities, the authors also reveal the ways in which the assumptions of literary history have shaped our reception of such texts in the past two centuries.
Contributors: Mark Addison Amos, Southern Illinois U; Anna Dronzek, U of Minnesota, Morris; Roberta L. Krueger, Hamilton College; Ruth Niss, U of Nebraska-Lincoln; Ann Marie Rasmussen, Duke U; Jennifer Fisk Rondeau, U of Oregon; and Claire Sponsler, U of Iowa.

All History - Balazs A. Szelenyi - The Failure of the Central Europ...rgeoisie, New Perspectives on Hungarian History 2006.jpg

This comprehensive study traces the history of over forty royal free towns from the sixteenth century to 1848 in the territories of what today are Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania. SzelÃ©nyi argues that these towns have been a neglected feature of national meta-narratives in Eastern Europe because their dwellers were often German speakers. He calls for a serious reevaluation of urban development in Eastern Europe and for a new meta-narrative that focuses on the region through the lenses of the numerous ethnic diasporas.

Christopher Harper-Bill, Nicholas Vincent - Henry II, New Interpretations (2007).jpg

Henry II is the most imposing figure among the medieval kings of England. His fiefs and domains extended from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, and his court was frequented by the greatest thinkers and men of letters of his time, besides ambassadors from all over Europe. Yet his is a reign of paradoxes: best known for his dramatic conflicts with his own wife and sons and with Thomas Becket, it was also a crucial period in the evolution of legal and governmental institutions. Here experts in the field provide significant reevaluations of its most important aspects. Topics include Henry's accession and his relations with the papacy, the French king, other rulers in the British Isles and the Norman baronage; the development of the common law and the coinage; the court and its literary milieu; the use of Arthurian legend for political purposes; and the career of the Young King Henry, while the introduction examines the historiography of the reign.
