Widely recognized by contemporaries as the most powerful theologian of his generation, Jean Gerson (1363-1429) dominated the stage of western Europe during a time of plague, fratricidal war, and religious schism. Yet modern scholarship has struggled to define Gerson's place in history, even as it searches for a compelling narrative to tell the story of his era.

Daniel Hobbins argues for a new understanding of Gerson as a man of letters actively managing the publication of his works in a period of rapid expansion in written culture. More broadly, Hobbins casts Gerson as a mirror of the...

No account is more critical to our understanding of Joan of Arc than the contemporary record of her trial in 1431. Convened at Rouen and directed by bishop Pierre Cauchon, the trial culminated in Joan's public execution for heresy. The trial record, which sometimes preserves Joan's very words, unveils her life, character, visions, and motives in fascinating detail.

If accidental snakebites killed many white settlers and their domestic creatures in colonial Australia, far more animal deaths were deliberate. Venomous encounters details the ways in which the study of snakes and their venoms led to widespread adoption of vivisection across the Australian colonies, from 1788 until the First World War. Forcing direct bites or injections upon dogs and fowls, pigs and cattle, both lay antidote sellers and medical practitioners participated in this culture of experiment. Indeed, in 1881 the Colony of Victoria became the second legislature worldwide...
