Charles James Fox
ISBN: 9780198201045 / Angielski / Twarda / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Charles James Fox was one of the most colorful figures in eighteenth-century politics. Notorious for the excesses of his private life, he was at the same time one of the leading politicians of his generation, dominating the Whig party and polite society. As the political rival of Pitt the Younger and the intellectual rival of Edmund Burke, his views on the major issues of the day--the American War of Independence, the French Revolution, parliamentary reform--formed the character of Whiggery in his own time and for years to come. Fox's historical reputation has been hotly disputed. Some have...

Richelieu and His Age
ISBN: 9780198202318 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study of Cardinal Richelieu's career as chief minister to Louis XIII of France presents the original research of eight experts in the field. Linking their work is the belief that Richelieu's ministry was a significant moment in the history of early modern France. The authors reject the traditional picture of Richelieu as the single-handed creator of the French absolute state and the original exponent of Realpolitik. Instead they paint a collective portrait of a statesman politically astute but none the less devout. The Richelieu who emerges is in many respects a conservative figure, but...

The Life of Christina of Markyate: A Twelfth Century Recluse
ISBN: 9780198212744 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Life of Christina of Markyate, a twelfth-century English recluse and later abbess of Markyate, near St A1bans, is a remarkable example of late medieval hagiography. Originally written at the time of or soon after Christina's death in the twelfth century, the Life is unusual both in its relative lack of miracles, and in the unknown author's decision to write Christina's life factually rather than gathering together stock elements from previously written saint's lives, as was the custom. First published in 1959, this edition contains the original Latin text with a facing-page English...

The Book of St. Gilbert
ISBN: 9780198222606 / Angielski / Twarda / 500 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the first full edition of the canonization dossier of St. Gilbert of Sempringham, who died in 1189 and was canonized in 1202. It is a document of exceptional interest for the history of the canonization process in Rome, for the history of the one English religious Order of the Middle Ages, the Order of Sempringham, and for the biography of the founder himself, St. Gilbert. The order was founded to be primarily an Order of women, was confined to England, and so disappeared at the Reformation.

One of the most eloquent and moving correspondences of the twentieth century, the letters that passed between Shiela Grant Duff and Adam von Trott zu Solz tell of a friendship--tender, strained, and finally tragic--between a young Englishwoman, who became a distinguished foreign correspondent in the 1930s, and a German Rhodes Scholar, who eventually joined the resistance against Hitler and was executed by the Nazis after the abortive coup of 1944. The letters begin at Oxford, where Shiela and Adam moved in a circle of friends that shared fervent dreams of social justice and a new Europe. The...

John Mason Neale (1818-1866), the famous Victorian divine, hymnologist, novelist, historian, and author of the carol "Good King Wenceslas," was also noted for his interest in ecumenism. This book traces Neale's interest in the Orthodox church, as expressed through his historical writings, translations of Greek hymns, and novels set in the Christian East.

Benjamin Jowett and the Christian Religion
ISBN: 9780198266884 / Angielski / Twarda / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book identifies the religious ideas and traces the theological development of Benjamin Jowett (1817-93), outstanding 19th-century educator and master of Balliol College, Oxford. Although it is commonly believed that Jowett abandoned theology following the publication of the controversial collection Essays and Reviews, to which he was a contributor, the author argues that Jowett continued to disseminate his theological ideas as master of Balliol College and exerted a substantial influence on theologians of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
