This collection is concerned with the articulation, mediation and reception of authority; the preoccupations and aspirations of both governors and governed in early modern England.

The Middling Sort of People: Culture, Society and Politics in England 1550-1800
ISBN: 9780333540633 / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume of essays seeks to offer a radical re-evaluation of most of our preconceptions about the early-modern English social order. The majority of people who lived in early-modern England were neither very rich nor very poor, yet a disproportionate amount of historiography has been directed towards precisely these groups. This book intends to define the term 'middle classes' and treat them as active participants of history, rather than as a simple by-product rising and falling according to others' activities.

The Social Universe of the English Bible: Scripture, Society, and Culture in Early Modern England
ISBN: 9780521769716 / Twarda / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How can we explain the immense popularity of the English Bible? Naomi Tadmor argues that the vernacular Bible became so influential in early modern English society and culture not only because it was deeply revered, widely propagated, and resonant but also because it was at least in some ways Anglicised. She focuses in particular on the rendering into English of biblical terms of social description and demonstrates the emergence of a social universe through the processes of translation from ancient and medieval texts to successive and inter-related English versions. She investigates the...

The Later Tudors : England 1547-1603

The Later Tudors, the second volume to be published in Oxford's authoritative series The New Oxford History of England, tells the story of England between the accession of Edward VI and the death of Elizabeth I. The second half of the sixteenth century was a period of intense conflict between the nations of Europe, and between competing Catholic and Protestant beliefs.

The History of the University of Oxford: Volume VIII: The Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780198229742 / Twarda / 938 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume, the eighth in The History of the University of Oxford, shows how one of the world's major universities has responded to the formidable challenges offered by the twentieth century. Because Oxford's response has not taken a revolutionary or dramatic form, outside observers have not always appreciated the scale of its transformation. Here full attention is given to the forces for change: the rapid growth in provision for the natural and social sciences; the advance of professionalism in scholarship, sport, and cultural achievement; the diffusion of international influences through...
