The Enlightenment and its legacy are still actively debated, with the Enlightenment acting as a key organizing concept in philosophy, social theory and the history of ideas. Counter-Enlightenments is the first full-length study to deal with the history and development of counter-enlightenment thought from its inception in the eighteenth century right through to the present. Engaging in a critical dialogue with Isaiah Berlin work, this book analyzes the concept of counter-enlightenment and some of the most important issues and problems it raises. Graeme Garrard explores the diverse forms of thought in this field, with a wide-ranging review of the principle figures of the past two hundred and fifty years, and an incisive assessment of the persuasiveness of the most common and important criticisms of the Enlightenment.

Malcolm Barber - The Two Cities, Medieval Europe 1 050-1320 (2004).jpg

First published to wide critical acclaim in 1992, The Two Cities has become an essential text for students of medieval history. For the second edition, the author has thoroughly revised each chapter, bringing the material up to date and taking the historiography of the past decade into account. The Two Cities covers a colorful period from the schism between the eastern and western churches to the death of Dante. It encompasses the Crusades, the expansionist force of the Normans, major developments in the way kings, emperors and Popes exercised their powers, a great flourishing of art and architecture and the foundation of the very first universities. Running through it is the defining characteristic of the high Middle Ages--the delicate relationship between the spiritual and secular worlds. In medieval times, these two essential elements of life were seen as the two 'cities' of the title, they could not be divided but there was constant tension between them. This survey pres all the facts and background information that students need, and is defined into straightforward thematic chapters. It makes extensive use of primary sources, and makes new trends in research accessible to students. Its fresh approach gives students the most rounded, lively and integrated view of the high Middle Ages available.

T. Hennessey - Dividing Ireland, World War One and Partition (1998).jpg

At the beginning of World War I, the dominant strain within Irish nationalism sought devolved self-government within the United Kingdom. By the end of the war, nationalists pursued a free Irish Republic outside the British Empire. Thomas Hennessey looks at the extent to which the war led Ulster unionists to reassess their psychological relationship with the rest of the Ireland and with the United Kingdom, and the many consequences of this for Northern Ireland. He explains how and why the problems of Ulster have become intractable and deals with the juncture which irredeemably altered the problem beyond that which had gone on for centuries before.

Robin S. Oggins - The Kings and Their Hawks, Falco nry in Medieval England (2004).jpg

In medieval Europe, falconry was perhaps the most popular form of hunting among the aristocracy. Owning a falcon, and the necessary falconer to go with it, was a status symbol throughout the middle ages. This book is the first broad history of English royal falconry in medieval times, a book that draws on forty years of research to provide a full description of the actual practice and conditions of the sport and of the role of falconers in the English royal household.
Robin S. Oggins begins with a description of the birds of prey, their training, and the sport of falconry. He provides a short history of early falconry in western Europe and England, then explores in unprecedented detail royal falconry from the reign of William I to the death of Edward I in 1307. The author concludes with an overview of the place and importance of falconry in medieval life.
Robin S. Oggins is a retired medieval historian and fellow of the Royal Historical Society. He lives in Vestal, New York.

Sarah Ferber - Demonic Possession and Exorcism, In Early Modern France (2004).jpg

This is a highly original study of possession by demons and their exorcism, which was rife in early modern times, focussing on the place where they were most prevalent, France. Catholics at the time believed that the devil was present everywhere, in the rise of the heretics, in the activities of witches, and even in the bodies of the pious young women. The rite of exorcism was intended to heal the possessed and show the power of the church - but it generated as many problems as it resolved. Possessed nuns endured frequently violent exorcisms, exorcists were suspected of conjuring devils, and possession itself came to be seen as a form of holiness, elevating several women to the status of living saints. Sarah Ferber offers a challenging study of one of the most intriguing phenomena of early modern Europe; looking also at the present day, it argues that early modern conflicts over the devil still carry an unexpected force and significance for western Christianity.

All History - Afsaneh Najmabadi - Women with Mustaches and Men with...ender and Sexual Anxieties of Iranian Modernity 2005.jpg

Drawing from a rich array of visual and literary material from nineteenth-century Iran, this groundbreaking book rereads and rewrites the history of Iranian modernity through the lens of gender and sexuality. Peeling away notions of a rigid pre-modern Islamic gender system, Afsaneh Najmabadi provides a compelling demonstration of the centrality of gender and sexuality to the shaping of modern culture and politics in Iran and of how changes in ideas about gender and sexuality affected conceptions of beauty, love, homeland, marriage, education, and citizenship. She concludes with a provocative discussion of Iranian feminism and its role in that country's current culture wars. In addition to providing an important new perspective on Iranian history, Najmabadi skillfully demonstrates how using gender as an analytic category can provide insight into structures of hierarchy and power and thus into the organization of politics and social life.

Tim Champion - Centre and Periphery, Comparative S tudies in Archaeology (1995).jpg

Centre and Periphery explores the varying dynamic relationships that have developed between the center--seen not as a simple physical location, but as a base of power and influence--and the periphery of societies. It initiates a new worldwide debate within archaeology which illuminates our understanding of long-term social transformations in pre-capitalist societies. The contributors examine the mechanisms that reinforced inequalities in social relations, distribution of power, access to knowledge, control over symbolism and ritual, religious cults and even literacy. The implications for the archaeology of hierarchical societies are far-reaching. The book shows, through wide-ranging case studies, that the variety of material evidence discovered by archaeologists may reveal that in spite of the fact that peoples with a distinctive material culture were originally treated as homogenous, the rituals and political activities practiced by these peoples are, in many cases, unrepresentative of many groups within the community. The center of cultural practice differs fundamentally from the periphery.

Preeti Nijhar - Law and Imperialism (2009).jpg

Tension between colonizers and the colonized lies at the heart of this study. The colonial identity was founded in response to its difference from that of the native population and its 'dangerous' elements. Laws that were imposed by colonizers were therefore as much an attempt to confirm their own identity as to control the more dangerous elements of a potentially unruly populace. This, in turn, means that instead of Victorian England being the driving force behind colonial law, the reverse was true, with the tensions experienced in India having a direct effect on the British judicial system.Primary source material from both British Parliamentary Papers and colonial archive material is used to provide evidence of legal change and response. Evidence is presented on the shared experience of 'dangerous' groups of people in both India and in Victorian England, as well as unique information on the status of South Asians in Britain. A case-study on the process of criminalization on the Sansi in colonial Punjab provides a fascinating example of how criminality can be produced by the creation of stereotypes based on fear ('dangerousness'), and an illustration of how science and taxonomy assisted the law in constructing Victorian and colonial identities.

Barry Cunliffe - The Oxford Illustrated Prehistory of Europe (1994).jpg

In comparison with the lavishly illustrated People of the Stone Age , Oxford's volume is less visually stunning but no less fascinating. Although confined to Europe (People embraced the world and ended with the agricultural revolution), its longer chronology, from the replacement of Neanderthals by, or their evolution into, modern humans 40,000 years ago to the fall of Rome, emcompasses the various ages, including the Paleolithic. To augment the scholarship, there are many glossy, informative illustrations. The writers, all affiliated with British universities, examine self-contained subjects with a degree of accessibility that should appeal to all archaeological tastes.

Jordan Goodman - Consuming Habits, Drugs in Histor y and Anthropology (1995).jpg

The consumption of psychoactive substances is as ancient as human societies themselves and characteristic of most cultures. These substances have been central to the formation of civilizations, the definition of cultural identities, and the growth of the world economy. Attention has been diverted away, however, from our understanding of their cultural and historical significance by the labelling of these substances as "legal" or "illegal." The central theme of Consuming Habits: Drugs in History and Anthropology is to establish that psychoactive substances are integral to the construction of culture, and a rich analytical category for the study of historical and cultural processes. This pioneering collection of original essays explores the rich analytical category of psychoactive substances from enlightening historical and anthropological perspectives. Essays cover periods from prehistory, to the early modern period, to the 19th and 20th centuries, and cultural settings including Europe, Papua New Guinea, North and South America, West Africa and Japan. Contributors focus upon substances such as opium, cocaine and heroin, as well as coffee, tea, tobacco, kola and betel nut--substances often not recognized for their psychoactive properties. Their challenging perspectives revitalize an agenda which has largely been set by politicians, pharmacologists and social scientists, contributing significantly to the contemporary debate on drugs.
