This book describes the life of a pirate of the early 18th century - the heyday of the 'Golden Age of Piracy'.

In the process the book attempts to strip away many of the myths associated with piracy, to reveal the harsh realities of life beyond the normal bounds of society. The book draws on decades of research into the subject, and pulls together information from a myriad of sources, including official reports, contemporary newspaper reports, trial proceedings...

A Cloister on Trial: Religious Culture and Everyday Life in Late Medieval Hungary
ISBN: 9781409467595 / Angielski / Twarda / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1517, the usually tranquil friary in the Hungarian town of KArmend found itself at the centre of controversy when its Augustinian friars, charged with drunkenness, sexual abuses and liturgical negligence, were driven out and replaced with observant Franciscans. The agent of change in this conflict, cardinal Thomas BakA3cz, claimed to be acting in the name of 'cloister reform' motivated by a religious agenda, while the Augustinians portrayed themselves as the victims of a political game. Based on the surviving interrogations of a papal enquiry into these events, this book illuminates the...

Mid-seventeenth century Ireland experienced a revolution in landholding. Coming in the aftermath of the devastating Cromwellian conquest, this seismic shift in the social and ethnic distribution of land and power from Irish Catholic to English Protestant hands would play a major role in shaping the history of the country.

If not for today's news stories about piracy on the high seas, it'd be easy to think of pirating as a romantic way of life long gone. But nothing is further from the truth. Pirates have existed since the invention of commerce itself, and they reached the zenith of their power during the 1600s, when the Mediterranean was the crossroads of the world and pirates were the scourge of Europe. Historian and author Adrian Tinniswood brings this exciting and... The true story that's "bloody good entertainment" (New York Times) about the colorful and legendary pirates of the 17th century.

The Atlantic Imperial Constitution: Center and Periphery in the English Atlantic World
ISBN: 9780230111745 / Angielski / Twarda / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Atlantic Imperial Constitution explores the relationship between the English Crown and the Atlantic colonial peripheries under the early Stuarts. Arguing against the common belief that the English government sat out the first generation of Atlantic activities, Ken MacMillan demonstrates that the king, his Privy Council, and various associated bodies became involved in the Atlantic enterprise when the king's sovereignty, the rights of his subjects, or the needs of state were at stake. From 1606 onward, Crown intervention in Atlantic affairs reflected a historically based, ideologically...

The Jesuits and the Thirty Years War
ISBN: 9780521820172 / Angielski / Twarda / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Christian princes waged the first pan-European war from 1618 to 1648. Brought about in part by the entrenched passions of the Reformation and Counter Reformation, the Thirty Years War inevitably drew in the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits, who stood at the vanguard of Catholic Reform. This book investigates for the first time the Jesuits' role during the war at the four Catholic courts of Vienna, Munich, Paris, and Madrid. It also examines the challenge to the Jesuit superior general in Rome to lead a truly international organization through a period of rising national conflict.

The Retrospective Review (1820-1828) and the Revival of Seventeenth Century Poetry
ISBN: 9780889200012 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This essay had its beginning in an investigation of changing attitudes to seventeenth-century Pre-Restoration poetry during the English Romantic period. In the course of that research, Jane Campbell discovered that a relatively little-known periodical, the Retrospective Review, which was published in London from 1820 to 1828, appeared to have played an interesting part in the rehabilitation of the poets of the earlier period. This book, then, is an attempt to outline the history of this review, to place it against its literary background, and to assess its role in the critical...

Democracies and the Shock of War: The Law as a Battlefield
ISBN: 9781409443636 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the course of the twentieth century, democracies demonstrated an uncanny ability to win wars when their survival was at stake. As this book makes clear, this success cannot be explained merely by superior military equipment or a particular geographical advantage. Instead, it is argued that the legal frameworks imbedded in democratic societies offered them a fundamental advantage over their more politically restricted rivals. For democracies fight wars aided by codes of behaviour shaped by their laws, customs and treaties that reflect the wider values of their society. This means that...

Witchcraft and Demonology in South-West England, 1640-1789
ISBN: 9780230292260 / Angielski / Twarda / 373 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Using south-western England as a focus for considering the continued place of witchcraft and demonology in provincial culture in the period between the English and French revolutions, Barry shows how witch-beliefs were intricately woven into the fabric of daily life, even at a time when they arguably ceased to be of interest to the educated.

Friars on the Frontier: Catholic Renewal and the Dominican Order in Southeastern Poland, 1594-1648
ISBN: 9781409405955 / Angielski / Twarda / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Focusing on the Dominican Order's activities in southeastern Poland from the canonisation of the Polish Dominican St Hyacinth (1594) to the outbreak of Bogdan Chmielnicki's Cossack revolt (1648-54) this book reveals the renovation and popularity of the pre-existing Mendicant culture of piety in the period following the Council of Trent (1545-64). In so doing, it questions both western and Polish scholarship regarding the role of the Society of Jesus, and the changes within Catholicism associated with it across Europe in the early modern period. By grounding the rivalry between Dominicans and...

Jewish Identity in Early Modern Germany: Memory, Power and Community
ISBN: 9780754658979 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although Jews in early modern Germany produced little in the way of formal historiography, Jews nevertheless engaged the past for many reasons and in various and surprising ways. They narrated the past in order to enforce order, empower authority, and record the traditions of their communities. In this way, Jews created community structure and projected that structure into the future. But Jews also used the past as a means to contest the marginalization threatened by broader developments in the Christian society in which they lived. As the Reformation threw into relief serious questions about...

Ideology and Foreign Policy in Early Modern Europe (1650-1750)
ISBN: 9781409419136 / Angielski / Twarda / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The years 1650 to 1750 a sandwiched between an age of 'wars of religion' and an age of 'revolutionary wars' a have often been characterized as a 'de-ideologized' period. However, the essays in this collection contend that this is a mistaken assumption. For whilst international relations during this time may lack the obvious polarization between Catholic and Protestant visible in the proceeding hundred years, or the highly charged contest between monarchies and republics of the late eighteenth century, it is forcibly argued that ideology had a fundamental part to play in this crucial...

John Owen, Richard Baxter and the Formation of Nonconformity
ISBN: 9780754663614 / Angielski / Twarda / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. John Owen (1616a 1683) and Richard Baxter (1615a 1691) were both pivotal figures in shaping the nonconformist landscape of Restoration England. Yet despite having much in common, they found themselves taking opposite sides in several important debates, and their relationship was marked by acute strain and mutual dislike. By comparing and contrasting the parallel careers of these two men, this book not only distils the essence of their differing theology, it also offers a broader understanding of the formation of English nonconformity. Placing these two figures in the context of earlier...
