HISTORY.

The Huguenots in Later Stuart BritainVolume I – Crisis, Renewal, and the Ministers’ Dilemma

ROBIN GWYNN

The Huguenots in Later Stuart Britain is planned as one work to be published in three interlinking volumes(titles/publication dates detailed below). It examines the history of the French communities in Britain from theCivil War, which plunged them into turmoil, to the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, after which there was no realisticpossibility that the Huguenots would be readmitted to France. There is a particular focus on the decades of the1680s and 1690s, at once the most complex, the most crucial, and the most challenging alike for the refugeesthemselves and for subsequent historians.

a “Group Family”

NIGEL HARRIS

Footnotes to History is a study of a “group family” – an extended family closely structured though marriages thatwere either internal or with trusted associates. Its members strove cooperatively for their own mutual benefit.This kind of social entity evolved down the centuries, reaching its zenith in the early nineteenth century. Thefamily portrayed, the Pennells, provides a supreme example of such a united body. John Wilson Croker, his twohalf-nieces and his best friend all married into it. Most men in it gained prestigious appointments throughCroker’s patronage, but at the price of giving him their unswerving loyalty.

In Defence of Britain’s Middle Eastern EmpireA Life of Sir Gilbert Clayton

TIMOTHY PARIS

T. E. Lawrence (of Arabia) described his war-time chief as “the perfect leader”, a man “who worked by influencerather than by loud direction. He was like water, or permeating oil, creeping silently and insistently through everything.It was not possible to say where Clayton was and was not, and how much really belonged to him.”

This is the first biography of General Sir Gilbert Clayton (1875–1929), Britain’s pre-eminent “man-on-the-spot”during the formative years of the modern Middle East. Serving as a soldier, administrator and diplomat in tendifferent Middle Eastern countries during a 33-year Middle Eastern career, Clayton is best known as theDirector of British Intelligence in Cairo during the Great War (1914–16), and as the instigator and sponsor ofthe Arab Revolt against the Turks.

Argentinian TelenovelasSouthern Sagas Rewrite Social and Political Reality

GABRIELA JONAS AHARONI

This work explores the way in which telenovelas (TV serial dramas) give voice to contemporary and historicalArgentinian social and political issues. Telenovelas have multiple layers of socio-cultural message – local as wellas global – and are invariably laden with appealing drama and emotion, and sometimes comedy. One of themany telenovela examples addressed in this book is whether the serial Padre Coraje constructs a parallel betweenthe Kirchner government and that of Juan Perón, fifty years earlier. The serial explores the two leaders’relationship with the Church and implicitly presents President Kirchner as Peron’s successor.

The Poetic and Real Worlds of César Vallejo (1892–1938)A Struggle between Art and Politics

R. K. BRITTON

The world-renowned Peruvian poet César Vallejo (1892–1938) was also a journalist, essayist, novelist andwould-be dramatist. The study of his life and work has encountered problems since the 1950s, stemming fromthe fact that half of his writing was published posthumously under editorship of doubtful accuracy. The matter isfurther complicated in that his non-poetic work has been neglected in favour of his verse. R. K. Britton reviewsthe evidence – literary and historical – now reliably to hand, and assesses the often conflicting body of opinionhis work has generated.

Spain BleedsThe Development of Battlefield Blood Transfusion during the Civil War

LINDA PALFREEMAN

The Spanish Civil War marked a new era in blood transfusion medicine. Frederic Duran Jordà and CarlosElósegui Sarasoles, directors, respectively, of the blood transfusion services of the Republican Army and of theinsurgent forces, were innovators in the field of indirect blood transfusion with preserved blood. Not only hadthey to create transfusion services, almost from scratch, capable of supplying campaigning armies with blood inwartime conditions, they also had to struggle against the medical establishment and to convince their medicalpeers of the value (not to mention the scientific significance) of what they were doing.

Guerrilleros and Neighbours in ArmsIdentities and Cultures of Anti-fascist Resistance in Spain

JORGE MARCO

Although the Franco dictatorship was not directly involved in the world war, in Spain an anti-Franco resistance movement was organized in1939 and lasted until 1952. Although the Spanish resistance constituted the first and last anti-fascist resistance movement in Europe, theSpanish case has been consistently overlooked by international studies.


Spain’s Martyred CitiesFrom the Battle of Madrid to Picasso’s Guernica

MARTIN MINCHOM

The language of ‘martyrdom’ was sometimes evoked in pro-Republican writing as a means of challengingFrancoist claims to the religious and moral high ground. But the ur-text was The Martyrdom of Madrid (1937), acompilation of the posthumous, censored reports of the French correspondent Louis Delaprée on the bombingof Madrid. Delaprée’s earliest reporting ( July–October 1936) was from both the Nationalist and Republicanzones, and is used to provide an overview of the early stages of the war; he was eyewitness to the aerialbombardments of Madrid in November 1936; subsequently, the posthumous publication of his writings createda major stir in Paris.

Renau used his idiosyncratic artwork and agit-prop,inspired by the Constructivists and the German avant-garde, to critique the timidity of the Republic’s firstdemocratising reforms.

Spain created its own colonial educational model based on Spanish schools, Spanish-Arab schools and Spanish-Jewish schools, which coexisted with Koranic madrasas and Talmudic, Alliance Israélite Universelle andnationalist schools. The institutions created for Moroccans by the Spaniards united tradition – the Arabic andHebrew languages and Muslim and Jewish religions – with the models and principles of the schools in Spain atthe time. The end goal was to instruct the population according to a pro-Spanish, colonizer-friendly ideology inorder to control the society and territory in a way that complemented military policies.

The convergence of modern and essentialist discourses and practices, especially in literature and poetry, inwhat is conventionally called in Spanish letters “The Generation of ’27”, created fissures between competingviews of aesthetics and ideology that cut across political affiliation.

ARCHAEOLOGY.

Art, Archaeology and ScienceAn Interdisciplinary Approach to Chinese Archaeological and Artistic Materials

MEILI YANG

Science has played a crucial role in the initial stages of westerners’ collecting and studying ancient Chineseartworks and archaeological materials. The relevant scientific data were quickly generated using progressivelysophisticated examination techniques. But the task of integrating scientific data with archaeological and arthistorical resources, and developing a workable interdisciplinary study method, has lagged behind scientificendeavor. The author not only broadens scholars’ and readers’ perspectives regarding ancient ceramic craft, butprovides a rigorous methodology applicable to interdisciplinary studies across other disciplines.

Hominids have always been obsessed with representing their own bodies.

THEATRE AND PERFORMANCE STUDIES.

Inter-Art JourneyExploring the Common Grounds of the Arts

Studies in Honor of Eli Rozik

Edited by NURIT YAARI

The notion of ‘inter-mediality’ presupposes that each established art – such as theatre, painting, and cinema –indicates the existence of a particular medium, which preserves its distinct features in translations from art to artand, especially, in its combinations with others in single works. Considering first the theoretical aspects of inter-art, inter-mediality, and nonverbal literacy, Exploring the Commom Grounds of the Arts goes on to discuss bymeans of performance analysis dialogues between the arts within a single work and correspondences betweenvisual and auditory stimuli in musical contexts.


Future Theatre ResearchOrigin, Medium, Performance-Text, Reception and Acting

ELI ROZIK

From reviews of Prof. Rozik’s previously published books:

“For more than thirty years, Eli Rozik has been among the best known international theorists of theatre, thanks to his wide-ranging bookson theatre history and methodology.” Marvin Carlson, Distinguished Professor of Theatre, City University of New York

Eli Rozik explores the principles that generated the theatre medium, and its possible roots in the preverbal imagistic mode of thinking. Thismode characterizes the remnants of preverbal thinking, such as unconscious thinking (dreaming), the embryonic speech of toddlers, andtheir imaginative play and drawings prior to mastering verbal thinking.

LITERARY CRITICISM.

A. E. HousmanA Single Life

MARTIN BLOCKSIDGE

A.E. Housman: A Single Life argues that there is no fundamental tension between Housman the poet and Housman the scholar, and his career ispresented very much as that of a working academic who also wrote poetry. The book gives a full account of what Housman described as ‘the greatand real troubles of my early manhood’, and in particular his unrequited and life-long love for his undergraduate friend Moses Jackson. It resiststhe temptation to classify Housman too exclusively as a melancholic, and is sceptical about Housman’s reputed rudeness and misanthropy,

PSYCHOLOGY.

The Archipelago of ConsciousnessThe Invisible Sovereignty of Life

Conditioned by limitations of the introspective method and by the unnatural opposition between conscious andunconscious, the study of consciousness has been the exclusive prerogative of philosophy, literature andtheology, strengthening the prejudice that separates humanistic and scientific culture. Mauro Maldonato setsout to establish a fruitful dialogue between different disciplines, investigating consciousness from points of viewthat shape awareness of ourselves and of the world.

NUMISMATICS.

Watercraft on World CoinsVolume III: Africa and Oceania, 1800–2011

YOSSI DOTAN

Reviews of Volume I: Europe, 1800–2005 and Volume II: America and Asia, 1800–2008

“Dotan’s research is detailed and his narratives about ships are aimed at all students of naval warfare,shipping and numismatics. Each narrative provides the historical background and watercraft experienceand circumstance of the soldiers, sailors, admirals and generals, explorers, naval commanders andfishermen that have earned a place in the historical record and that have been featured on coins in theirhonor.” Coin World

“Finally a new manual of numisnautics, which will be a valuable aid for many collectors. The outstanding characteristic of the bookis its user friendliness. … This work is an all-round success.” Numisnautik

“Each coin is identified by its denomination, date of issue and metallic composition. A high quality black and white imageaccompanies many of the descriptions. For each coin listed there is a detailed description of the ship depicted on the coin – itslength, tonnage, launch date, speed, its place in history and, in some cases, its ultimate demise.” The CN Journal, the official publicationof the Canadian Numismatic Association

The book is organized as a catalog of “ship coins” according to the popular KM-numbering system. Coins that have a common design aregrouped under separate headings. Included are both circulating coins and collector oriented commemoratives. The coin images representthe many different ways in which the ships are depicted. Volume II included more than six hundred narratives, and follows on from thepublication of Volume I, Europe, 1800–2005 (2007), acclaimed as a book that should be owned or at least read by every collector of worldship coins.
