Meghji Shafik: Small Earthquakes

Small Earthquakes

A Journey Through Lost British History in South America

Penguin Monarchs

Last Queen of England

Anne (Penguin Monarchs)

This book looks at how the law allows donors to establish perpetual charitable trusts, bearing the donor's name, and how it rewards and encourages the pursuit of post-mortem identity. It considers the policy questions raised by post-mortem identity. The law in this area is often complex and uncertain, and that legal unpredictably might deter donors from giving. Attention to post-mortem identity suggests that the law should be made as reliable and predictable as possible. This book theorises the motivation for post-mortem identity and works through its legal implications. It considers the even deeper questions in play and the particular problems which surround post-mortem identity. For example, a donor motivated by the prospect of legal immortality might be led towards bad charity. The donor might try to create a vain or prejudiced organisation. The book looks at the context of these issues, the policy challenges faced by the law, and the way in which the rules need to control and limit the donor's wishes.

Religious Cultures in the Early Modern World

This is a unique study of the relationship between religious ritual and ceremonial dining. Blunt's work is based on primary sources documenting the daily running of the king's household and will be of interest to scholars researching the court of Charles I and its material culture as well as the religious and political history of his reign.

Ceremony, Ritual and Kingcraft at the Court of Charles I

In their provocative examination of Anthony Trollope's novels, Margaret Markwick and Deborah Denenholz Morse, two leading Trollope scholars, explore Trollope's more famous novels, along with his less familiar texts.  Intentionally provocative and unconventional in their approach to a writer who is frequently at the center of Victorian Studies, the authors offer fresh perspectives on Trollopean ideas about gender, family, class, and nation. Among the topics are restriction practices in Trollope and their implications relative to new developments in contraceptive techniques, disgraced relatives in Trollope's fiction, mother-daughter struggles for power and love, ignored wives, unappreciated sisters, Trollope as biographer, debates in the mid-Victorian Church, teaching Trollope, and discarded women and forgotten texts. Secret Trollope is distinguished by an intertextuality within Markwick and Morse's text that mirrors that within Trollope's novels, a strategy that allows for myriad connections throughout this stimulating book.

A SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR

'A remarkable literary debut . . . Part memoir, part travelogue, Motherlands is ultimately an investigation of how we come to understand the past at all' Guardian

Our creation stories begin with the notion of expulsion from our 'original' home. We spend our lives struggling to return to the place we fit in, the body we belong in, the people that understand us, the life we were meant for. But the places we remember are ever-changing, and ever since we left, they continue to alter themselves, betraying the deal made when leaving. 

Australian writer Amaryllis Gacioppo has been raised on stories of original homes, on the Palermo of her mother, the Benghazi of her grandmother and the Turin of her great-grandmother. But what does belonging mean when you're not sure of where home is? Is the modern nation state defined by those who flourish there or by those who aren't welcome? Is visiting the land of one's ancestors a return, a chance to feel complete, or a fantasy?
 
Weaving memoir and cultural history through modern political history, examining notions of citizenship, statelessness, memory and identity and the very notion of home, Motherlands heralds the arrival of a major talent that opens one's eyes to new ways of seeing.

Motherlands

Ashgate Interdisciplinary Studies in Opera

Although Gustav Holst is rarely thought of as an opera composer, his operatic works provide a gateway to the exploration of how a budding opera composer negotiated the British operatic world across his career and how his synthesis of a myriad of cultural influences in his operatic works affected his reputation and success as a composer. This interdisciplinary study provides a kaleidoscopic view of how overlapping and often contradictory cultural influences such as imperialism, religion, literature, indigenous theatre, philosophy, folk culture, nationalism, and historiography are reflected in Holst’s operas and figure into his reception as a composer of operas.

From Bayreuth to Aldeburgh

Gustav Holst and British Operatic Culture

This book offers a critical analysis of the origins, theories and philosophy of community justice within the UK and the employment of practices that place the 'community' at the heart of responding to offending behaviour.

Community justice both as a practice and as a subject of criminological concern has become an issue of increasing significance over the past few years. While ideas and initiatives about such matters as community policing have been commonplace for several decades, the more synoptic concept of community justice has become a key part of government policy in the 21st century for both the Labour and Coalition administrations. Until now, most books on community justice have focused exclusively on the US.Doing Justice in the Community fills this gap and brings together an analysis of the origins, theories and practices of community justice within the UK. The book provides a timely opportunity to engage critically with the practice and philosophy of community justice, and thereby to better understand the consequences for crime, control and society of employing approaches that place the ‘community’ at the heart of responding to offending behaviour.

The Early Modern Englishwoman, 1500-1750: Contemporary Editions

The full texts of both 1680 editions of Elizabeth Cary's History of Edward II are here reproduced completely, along with an extensive introduction including biographical, cultural, and literary commentary on Elizabeth Cary, and also background on the debate surrounding the texts' authorship. This volume will be of interest to literary scholars working on Early Modern women as well as to historians and queer theorists, both of whom have made Edward II an important intellectual site in the last generation of scholarship.

The full texts of both 1680 editions of Elizabeth Cary's History of Edward II are here reproduced completely, along with an extensive introduction including biographical, cultural, and literary commentary on Elizabeth Cary, and also background on the debate surrounding the texts' authorship. In the recovery of women writers of early modern England, Elizabeth Tanfield Cary, Viscountess Falkland, has drawn substantial interest. Swan examines the post-publication history of both 1680 editions, revealing how the many hands at work in various subsequent editions have resulted in the obfuscation of the textual history, which has, in the past, led to the misattribution of the history to Henry Cary, Elizabeth's husband.  The reproduction of both versions allows scholars to easily compare the two, which is important in order to understand Cary's reworking of her text from early to late drafts. Both versions represent intentions and socially received states which are useful in presenting the text, in documenting Cary's changing attitudes and discursive strategies in the mid-1620's-the period of composition for all the manuscript states and a period of particular biographical significance-and in accounting for the more recent reception of the history.   Swan showcases here how Cary contributes significantly both to the development of resistance theory (essential to democratic-republican ideals at the root of Anglo-American politics and government), and to the development of non-fiction prose style in English. This volume will be of interest to literary scholars working on Early Modern women as well as to historians and queer theorists, both of whom have made Edward II an important intellectual site in the last generation of scholarship.
