'Extensive and intelligent . . . a guide to the nature of British intellectual curiosity' SpectatorThe reign of Queen Elizabeth I ushered in an unprecedented age of exploration and discovery. Over 500 years that saw&nbsp; 'the greatest expansion of ideas and knowledge the world has ever seen', a small island nation, for centuries a cultural backwater, asserted itself as a world power.&nbsp;Breathtaking in scope, embracing literature, science, art, religion, philosophy and politics, The British Imagination brings to life those centuries between Elizabeth I and II, and asks the provocative question -&nbsp;are we still&nbsp;living in a British 'metaphysical empire'?From the acclaimed author of The German Genius and The French Mind, this is a lively and deeply researched history of the most influential personalities and ideas that made modern Britain.&nbsp;'Intriguing insights about the contemporary Anglosphere . . . nuanced and appreciative' Financial Times'Peter Watson has form when it comes to probing a nation's psyche . . .

A History of Ideas from Elizabeth I to Elizabeth II

The British Imagination

The Little Book of Business

Christine Lagarde is a woman of firsts: first female head of the IMF, first female President of the ECB - and all without a classic career path through the world of finance. In her first autobiography, she recounts her rise, her successes and setbacks, and her fight against prejudice. It sheds light on the great crises of the global economy, her courageous decisions, and her distinctive perspective on power, emancipation, and change. Complemented by the voices of her most important companions, the result is a multifaceted portrait of a woman who breaks boundaries and consistently challenges the status quo.

*Shortlisted for the 2026 Cundill History Prize*When the gates of the last Magdalene Laundry closed in 1996, Ireland moved on. Or so it seemed. 'Enraging ... superb' JOHN BANVILLE, Guardian 'Remarkable' Sunday Times 'Groundbreaking' MICK CLIFFORD, Irish Examiner 'An extraordinary gift ... both an education and a page-turner' DOIREANN NÍ GHRÍOFA 'Powerful ... authoritative, passionate' Mail on SundayFollowing independence in 1922, Ireland began to chase a dream: to become the perfect Catholic nation. But purity had a price. Throughout the twentieth century, thousands of women and girls who did not conform - the wayward, the poor, the disabled, the abused - were sent to the Magdalene Laundries. Each was perceived to have fallen in some way. Once locked inside, their hair was shorn off, their names were erased - and then they were put to work. They washed, they scrubbed and they prayed, labouring in an attempt to salvage their souls.Published to coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the last Laundry's closure, The Fallen is the forgotten story of the Magdalene Laundries, told through the voices of the women who endured them, the nuns who presided over them and the communities that lived alongside them.Unflinching and compassionate, Louise Brangan draws on archives and survivors' testimonies to dismantle long-held myths about what the Laundries were, who was sent to these places of violence and secrecy, and why. As we move from the past into the present, Brangan compels us not only to confront this shameful history, but to ask a deeper question: what do we choose to remember?'Highly readable and intelligently engaging' FINTAN O'TOOLE, TLS 'Indispensable' ANNE ENRIGHT 'A terrific unearthing of Ireland's shadowland. A landmark book' RORY CARROLL 'Vivid, fluent and deeply compassionate' Irish Times*Winner of the 2024 Royal Society of Literature Giles St Aubyn Award*

Historische Geschlechterforschung

Wie werden Gender- und Queer-History-Projekte im lokalen Kontext und im kleinstädtischen Raum umgesetzt? Die Beiträger*innen widmen sich anhand des Fallbeispiels Südtirol der Frauen-, Geschlechter- und Queer-Geschichte in Minderheitengebieten. Südtirol repräsentiert einen Kontext intersektionaler Diversität, in dem verschiedene Arten von Minderheiten (z.B. hinsichtlich ihrer sexuellen Orientierung, ihrer Geschlechtsidentität oder ihres Migrationshintergrundes) aufeinandertreffen. Aus den Forschungsergebnissen lassen sich nicht nur neue theoretische Aspekte für die Gender Studies gewinnen, sondern auch praktische Implikationen für das Leben in einer Gesellschaft, die von multipler Diversität geprägt ist.

How did Christianity grow into an international faith that shaped the world as we know it? 'Remarkable ... A joy to read' JOSEPHINE QUINN, author of How the World Made the West 'Dazzling ... Will change how you see Rome, and Christianity, for ever' CATHERINE NIXEY, author of Heresy 'One of the most important books on ancient history in many years' HARRY SIDEBOTTOM, author of Warrior of Rome Rome's Age of Revolution corrects the triumphalist narrative that the Christian message was so persuasive, and indeed superior, that people converted in huge numbers, abandoning their pagan beliefs, thereby turning a small, persecuted sect into the state religion of the Roman Empire. Tim Whitmarsh shows that Christianity would never have succeeded if it had not taken advantage of the infrastructure and culture of the Roman Empire; in turn the new religion was indelibly shaped and transformed by Roman beliefs and ideas, especially those circulating in the Greek-speaking, or Hellenistic, eastern parts of the empire. This radical transformation, Tim argues, can only be described as a revolution. And the consequences are with us to this day. 'Riveting - incisive and stylishly written' EDITH HALL, author of Aristotle's Way 'Fascinating and powerful throughout' ANDREW PETTEGREE, author of The Book at War 'Refreshingly innovative ... Remarkable' CANDIDA MOSS, author of God's Ghost-writers 'History writing at its very best' BRUCE GORDON, author of The Bible

This book is an&nbsp;historical investigation into the role of the European Community in the overcoming of the East-West divide during the Cold War.

Challenging the Cold War Order in Europe

The European Community and Eastern Europe in the Long 1970s

**Longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize**'Andrea Wulf belongs to the small, splendid canon of writers unafraid to render fact with feeling' Maria Popova, creator of The Marginalian and author of FiguringAn inspiring biography of the remarkable naturalist, explorer and revolutionary, by the bestselling author of The Invention of Nature George Forster was a man out of time: he journeyed to the far reaches of the known world and challenged the worldviews of eighteenth-century Europe with radical ideas about equality and freedom. Celebrated during his lifetime, he knew Goethe, Benjamin Franklin, Mary Wollstonecraft and Alexander von Humboldt but has since been largely forgotten by history.The Traveller seeks to restore Forster as one of the great visionaries of his era. At the age of seventeen he joined Captain Cook's second voyage - an exploration of vast contrasts from the icy world of Antarctica to the tropical islands of the South Pacific. A brilliant mind driven by boundless curiosity, he studied the diverse nature, people and cultures he encountered and came back imbued with a deep belief in the equality of races. On his return he was feted in England, France, Germany and Poland, using his fame to advocate freedom and human rights and argue against empire, racism and slavery. He admired strong and educated women and was proud to have daughters. The book traces how - inspired by the French Revolution - he became a leader of the short-lived Republic of Mainz and was eventually forced into exile in Paris during the Reign of Terror.Following in Forster's footsteps from Europe to Tahiti, and drawing on a wealth of correspondence mostly unpublished in English, Andrea Wulf paints a portrait of a remarkable, passionate figure unbound by place, people or establishment. She vividly conveys his extraordinary quest to find what connects us rather than what sets us apart.

The Revolutionary Life of George Forster and his Search for Humanity

The Traveller

Wreckers sinks the old narratives of imperialism, revealing the violent, chaotic and improvised reality of empire-building from the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries. 'Clever and compelling book. The storytelling and the scholarship fairly spark off each other. It could be a model for how academics should write history for a general audience' The Times 'A flowing, gripping narrative, Wreckers is distinguished by enchanting stories' Peter Moore, Literary Review While figures such as Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama and Ferdinand Magellan are celebrated for their maritime achievements - reaching the Americas, India, and circumnavigating the globe - focusing solely on these voyages distorts our perspective on the past. Many explorers ended up as castaways, clinging to the splintered timbers of their wrecked ships, while those who survived often faced resistance and ridicule from indigenous communities across the globe. Drawing on maritime stories from various languages and continents - from Brazil and Southeast Africa to India and the Philippines - Wreckers shares dramatic tales of the sea and the events on land that followed. This offers an alternative timeline for the century after Columbus' 1492 voyage and sheds light on the fractures and fault lines that accompanied the increasing geographical range of European ships. Simon Park argues that even when Europeans arrogantly claimed their own superiority, the truth was that they were often driven by a profound sense of greed and envy, and their actions included numerous mishaps. For example, in his hunt for gold, Martin Frobisher - who fancied himself England's Columbus and Cortés combined - transported worthless rocks across the Atlantic by the tonne. In the search for spices, Captain and profiteer Manuel de Sousa de Sepúlveda's ship was so overladen, it spewed its fragrant cargo when it crashed off the coast of South Africa. Moreover, in every place they went, Europeans depended on local know-how and goodwill - relying on indigenous knowledge of languages, geography, food and medicines. Wreckers reveals the precarious balance between imperious European powers, cunning locals who colluded to further their own agendas, and others who showed great tenacity in their resistance to European incursions. By focusing on stories of failure, defiance and comeuppance, Wreckers - a term Park uses to refer both to those who were wrecked and those involved in wrecking - offers a gripping and original account of a tumultuous period. It challenges the notion of unstoppable European dominance and enables a reimagining of history as a space of possibilities then, now and in the future.

The Biography

Pope Leo XIV

A fresh interpretation of the Enlightenment that reshapes our understanding of political economy and its intellectual foundations.The origins of political economy are often told as a story of increasing certainty, rationality, and scientific progress. But what if its earliest thinkers were instead preoccupied with uncertainty? In Doubtful Knowledge, Richard Adelman offers a striking new interpretation of eighteenth-century political economy by tracing its roots to the skeptical philosophy of the European Enlightenment.Moving between Scotland and France, Adelman reveals how figures including David Hume, Adam Smith, Denis Diderot, Jean Le Rond d'Alembert, François Quesnay, and the Physiocrats developed a shared understanding of the limits of human knowledge. Rather than presenting markets or societies as systems that could be fully understood or controlled, they emphasized the complexity of the social world, the fallibility of human judgment, and the need for intellectual humility. Through close readings of major philosophical and political-economic texts, Adelman demonstrates that skepticism was not peripheral to early political economy but fundamental to its emergence. Challenging long-held assumptions about the history of economics and Enlightenment thought, Doubtful Knowledge reframes debates about commerce, governance, progress, and human nature.By bringing together intellectual history, literary studies, philosophy, and the history of political economy, Adelman offers a compelling account of how eighteenth-century thinkers understood knowledge itself--and why their questions remain relevant to contemporary discussions about economics, politics, and the limits of expertise.
