Ideology and Inquisition: The World of the Censors in Early Mexico
ISBN: 9780300140408 / Angielski / Miękka / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is the first comprehensive treatment in English of the ideology and practice of the Inquisitional censors, focusing on the case of Mexico from the 1520s to the 1630s. Others have examined the effects of censorship, but Martin Nesvig employs a nontraditional approach that focuses on the inner logic of censorship in order to examine the collective mentality, ideological formation, and practical application of ideology of the censors themselves. Nesvig shows that censorship was not only about the regulation of books but about censorship in the broader sense as a means to...

Trials & Travels of Willem Leyel: An Account of the Danish East India Company in Tranquebar, 1639-48
ISBN: 9788763530231 / Angielski / Twarda / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On November 8, 1639, Willem Leyel left Denmark as commander of the ship Christianshavn. He was bound for the Danish colony of Tranquebar with its fortress Dansborg where he was to take charge of all trading operations of the first Danish East India Company. The voyage, however, became a seemingly endless nightmare of difficulties and disasters. When Leyel finally reached Tranquebar almost four years later, he found the fortress in a state of complete disrepair, with the former governor having run off with everything of value. But despite having only a few men in his service, hardly any...

Catholic Pirates and Greek Merchants: A Maritime History of the Mediterranean
ISBN: 9780691141978 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A new international maritime order was forged in the early modern age, yet until now histories of the period have dealt almost exclusively with the Atlantic and Indian oceans. Catholic Pirates and Greek Merchants shifts attention to the Mediterranean, providing a major history of an important but neglected sphere of the early modern maritime world, and upending the conventional view of the Mediterranean as a religious frontier where Christians and Muslims met to do battle. Molly Greene investigates the conflicts between the Catholic pirates of Malta--the Knights of St....

Volume Three of A Cultural History of the Modern Age finishes a journey that begins with Descartes in the first volume and ends with Freud and the psychoanalytical movement in the third volume.

Disability in Eighteenth-Century England: Imagining Physical Impairment
ISBN: 9780415886444 / Angielski / Twarda / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Disability is a burgeoning area of historical research. Historians of disability -- largely looking back at the period from a modern perspective -- have identified the eighteenth century as a key period of transition. In materialist histories of disability, the stirrings of industrialisation and economic change in this period is taken to herald the emergence of new modes of economic rationality that served to marginalise and devalue people with impairments as they were excluded from the mode of production. In other accounts, the period is one in which the dominant cultural paradigm for...

Revelation Restored: The Apocalypse in Later Seventeenth-Century England
ISBN: 9781843836131 / Angielski / Twarda / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Revelation Restored is a study of apocalyptic thought in the later seventeenth century in England. It explores an under-examined aspect of early modern British history: despite the prominence of millenarian beliefs in historians' explanations of the early modern English church and state up to 1660, little has been said about these convictions in the years following the Restoration. The examination of applications of prophetic language and interpretation to explain the events in England from 1660 to 1700 illustrates their continued capacity to comprehend ecclesiastical and political...

Der Pyrenaenfriede 1659: Vorgeschichte, Widerhall, Rezeptionsgeschichte
ISBN: 9783525100981 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 109 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. English summary: The Treaty of the Pyrenees of 1659 ended the Franco-Spanish war that began in 1635. The conflict's history of numerous earlier futile attempts to enforce peace shows that ithe treaty was about more than an appeasement of two particularly stubborn opponents. In 1659, the tectonics of the European state system were redesigned: the French hegemony began and the glorious Siglo de Oro of Spain ended. This volume brings together contributions from Spanish, French, Russian and German authors who trace the long road to peace and its reception in European scientific cultures. German...

Three Ways to Be Alien: Travails & Encounters in the Early Modern World
ISBN: 9781584659921 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sanjay Subrahmanyam's Three Ways to Be Alien draws on the lives and writings of a trio of marginal and liminal figures cast adrift from their traditional moorings into an unknown world. The subjects include the aggrieved and lost Meale, a "Persian" prince of Bijapur (in central India, no less) held hostage by the Portuguese at Goa; English traveler and global schemer Anthony Sherley, whose writings reveal a surprisingly nimble understanding of realpolitik in the emerging world of the early seventeenth century; and Nicolo Manuzzi, an insightful Venetian chronicler of the Mughal Empire in the...

Economy and Culture in North-East England, 1500-1800
ISBN: 9781783271832 / Angielski / Twarda / 319 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Historians increasingly emphasise that, in order to understand the industrial revolution fully as an economic, social and political process, the subject is best viewed from a regional, rather than a national, perspective. This book applies such an approach to the north-east of England in the early modern period, when, it is argued, the region experienced an early industrial revolution. Putting forward many new research findings and much new thinking, and covering many aspects of the economy of north-east England in the period, the book shows how rich and varied it was, and how vital the...

This book provides an edition of the letters of George Davenport, an Anglican clergyman in the north of England whose adult career covered the period of the Interregnum and the Restoration.

Treasure, Treason and the Tower: El Dorado and the Murder of Sir Walter Raleigh
ISBN: 9781409420255 / Angielski / Twarda / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this remarkable book, the oft-told narrative of Sir Walter Raleigh is blown apart through the chance discovery of hitherto neglected Dutch correspondence found in a Swedish archive. Following an exciting paper-trail through Jacobean history to modern-day Venezuela, Professor Sellin makes a convincing case for Raleigh's innocence of the charges that led him to the block in 1618. Spurred on by these documents, Sellin undertook two excursions up the Orinoco river in Raleigh's wake, using Raleigh's 1596 book The Discoverie of Guiana as a guide. These trips convinced him that, far from being a...

ISBN: 9780754659310 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The studies presented in this collection are concerned most particularly with the material conditions of life in the mature Ottoman state of the 16tha 18th centuries. They range from the evaluation of sources of livelihood and conditions in the workplace on the one hand, to notions of domesticity and organization of the private sphere on the other, and deal with the provinces, in both the Balkans and in Asia, as much as with Istanbul. At the same time the volume aims to illuminate Ottoman imperial institutional forms and norms as they existed in the high imperial era before the rapid change...

By examining the spaces where authors, printers and readers interact, Negotiating the Jacobean Printed Book highlights the manner in which contemporary culture and canon not only co-existed but mutually nourished and affected one another. An international group of book history scholars look beyond the traditional literary and canonical texts to explore, amongst other things, the physical nature of books and their place in Jacobean society. The contributors interrogate not just the texts themselves, but the habits, proclamations, letters and problems encountered by authors, printers and...
