In a rich survey encompassing music, art, literature, and architecture, Professor Davies studies the revolution in religious thought and worship in England during the Victorian era. One main trend, the return to conservatism, is revealed in the renascence of Roman Catholic worship, the Oxford Movement, and the search for traditional architecture and liturgy. This impetus was balanced by the drive toward innovation, through the Social Gospel, the Church's confrontation with science, and the new forms of worship sought by the Baptists, Congregationalists, and others. This is the fourth in a... In a rich survey encompassing music, art, literature, and architecture, Professor Davies studies the revolution in religious thought and worship in... |

Freedom's Children is the first comprehensive history of Jamaica's watershed 1938 labor rebellion and its aftermath.

LIBERTY IN HUME'S HISTORY OF ENGLAND In his own lifetime, Hume was feted by his admirers as a great historian, and even his enemies conceded that he was a controversial historian with whom one had to reckon.

It was Hume's History of England that played an influential role in public policy debate during the eighteenth century in both Great Britain and in the United States.

Characterizing Olaudah Equiano's eighteenth-century narrative of his life as a type of "scriptural story" that connects the Bible with identity formation, Vincent L. Wimbush's White Men's Magic probes not only how the Bible and its reading played a crucial role in the first colonial contacts between black and white persons in the North Atlantic but also the process and meaning of what he terms "scripturalization." By this term, Wimbush means a social-psychological-political discursive structure or "semiosphere" that creates a reality and organizes a society in terms of relations and...

Reassessing the British Way in Warfare: Strategy and Tactics During the Reigns of William and Anne
ISBN: 9781780937472 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the 1930s and 1940s, the military historian and strategic analyst Basil Liddell Hart developed the British 'Way in Warfare' thesis, which characterised British practice in warfare as a 'naval body' with two arms - one financial, expressed through trade, and the other military, comprising the deployment of combined army-naval operations. Though this theory has been the subject of much criticism, Reassessing the British Way in Warfare offers a much needed re-evaluation of its merits during the reigns of William and Anne. By examining the origins, progress and consequences of...
