BIOGRAPHY.

Fresca

ebook

A Life in the Making: A Biographer’s Quest for a Forgotten Bloomsbury Polymath HELEN SOUTHWORTH

Fresca tells a tale of unconventionality, multifarious creativity, and a quest for new ways of living and loving. The goal was to discover how Francesca Allinson’s fictional autobiography, A Childhood, made it onto Leonard and Virginia Woolf ’s The Hogarth Press list in 1937. Allinson’s connections register the cultural ferment of the Interwar years: a rich collaboration and unconsummated romance with homosexual composer Michael Tippett; an affair with Arts League of Service founder Judy Wogan; and a friendship with designer Enid Marx. Her life of promise, tragically cut short by suicide by drowning in 1945, is an eerie echo of Virginia Woolf ’s suicide.

Yigal Allon A Neglected Political Legacy, 1949–1980 UDI MANOR

‘For Only Those Deserve the Name’

ebook

T.E. Lawrence and Seven Pillars of Wisdom MARK CALDERBANK

Mark Calderbank’s biography shows how post-World War I political developments in the Middle East, and Lawrence’s unsettled life and sense of guilt, influenced the published work and contributed to his sense of failure. Seven Pillars is a story coloured by a retrospective vision of history, a post-war Weltanschaung, and the compulsion to present an exemplary personality. Seven Pillars has been overly influential and has long required a reassessment. The 100th anniversary of the Revolt is opportune. Of especial significance are the revealing of accounts of other participants, and Lawrence’s presentation of the Arabs and of history, both of which remain highly topical. The Epilogue, a commentary on an essay (1940) by André Malraux, appraises the meaning of literature in Lawrence’s life. To date, Seven Pillars has eluded evaluation. “In the end”, wrote Herbert Read, “the reader finds himself alone: he has to decide for himself.”

Diary of a Ypres Nun

ebook

October 1914–May 1915: The Diary of Soeur Marguerite of the Sisters of Lamotte Suffering and Sacrifice in the First World War INTRODUCED AND EDITED BY LINDA PALFREEMAN

At the centre of the fearful and prolonged barrages of shelling by the military of both sides lay the town of Ypres, known for its Cloth Hall and cathedral, its butter and its lace – now to be blasted to infamy as an indelible symbol of suffering and sacrifice and wanton destruction. Originally published in French in 1917, this harrowing yet sometimes surprisingly humorous account of events in the besieged and battered town of Ypres was written between October 1914 and May 1915, as she worked alongside the Friends’ Ambulance Unit and Father Delaere, to bring comfort and succour to the suffering civilian population.

The Additional Memoirs is essential eye-witness reading for anyone with an interest in nineteenth-century England and Europe, the Middle East, travel (including a detailed description of what was involved in quarantine) and more specifically, the Stanhope family.

Over the course of several decades Yusuf Yassin met with and negotiated on behalf of three monarchs, ‘Abdul ‘Aziz and his two successors, Sa‘ud and Faysal, with Arab and global leaders.

LITERARY CRITICISM AND POETRY.

Reading Fragments and Fragmentation in Modernist Literature

ebook

REBECCA VARLEY-WINTER

Rebecca Varley-Winter introduces fragmentation as an aspect of what Julia Kristeva and Hélène Cixous term ‘écriture féminine’, and offers new readings of the texts that Stéphane Mallarmé struggled to finish, associating his fragmentation with translation and the ‘Crise’ (Crisis) of vers libre. The author then considers the fragmentary affects of humour, ranging from Henri Bergson to Mina Loy and T. S. Eliot. Urban fragmentation is explored in Hope Mirrlees’ Paris: A Poem, John Maynard Keynes’ The Economic Consequences of the Peace, Félix Fénéon’s Nouvelles en trois lignes, Apollinaire’s Zone, and Walter Benjamin’s Arcades Project. The author ultimately weighs the claim of literary fragmentation as an ethical commitment to detail, embedded in the living body, against a view of fragments as more numbed traces or disembodied remnants.

David Foster Wallace

ebook

Presences of the Other EDITED BY BEATRICE PIRE AND PIERRE-LOUIS PATOINE

Indeterminate and inconclusive, constructed on Derridean ‘difference’, DFW’s output testifies to the presence of a liberating symbolic Other; by resisting closure, it promotes both a fundamental reworking of the literary tradition and a compassionate vision of the human condition. Prominent scholars explore varieties of otherness in Wallace’s ‘open work’ by engaging with the dialogue his writing establishes with non-literary discourses such as cinema (French Nouvelle Vague), music (rap, in Signifying Rappers), religion (Buddhism) and philosophy (Wittgenstein). Critical approaches to the author’s protean identity, taste for masquerade and performance, and capacity for metamorphosis and transformation, foreground traces of an otherness that sets out a salutary spiritual potential for the 21st century.

The Expression of Things

ebook

Themes in Thomas Hardy’s Fiction and Poetry JOHN HUGHES

John Hughes explores Hardy’s claim that his art sought to ‘intensify the expression of things’ through three main sections – on music, the body, and voice. These offer intersecting and mutually informing discussions of the central drama of inexpression and expressivity in Hardy’s work, as it affects the various personae of the text, including the reader. Throughout, the book draws on themes in the work of Gilles Deleuze and Stanley Cavell to reveal how Hardy’s fiction and poetry express and represent the affective and physical conditions of mind, and their conflicts with social fictions of identity.

Selected Poems and Prose of W.E. Henley JOHN HOWLETT

His friendships with Robert Louis Stevenson, J.M. Barrie, and Yeats places him at the centre of the Victorian literary milieu. As editor of National Observer he published writers as diverse as Kipling, Shaw, Hardy and Wells. He promoted new forms of expression in literature and art, and was a close friend of Rodin and Degas.

“OH, LET ME RETURN!” Nature’s Poets

ebook

Chinese Poetry of Two Millennia HA POONG KIM

These poems are often read in light of the Daoist philosophy. However, no philosophical understanding of nature is necessary to appreciate what our nature poets sing. Anyone who has seen Chinese landscape paintings should be able to enjoy it. But most of the poems in this collection are not ordinary lyrical songs but more often than not songs of longing, in which the reader may hear also the life spirit’s protest against the oppression of human civilization. In his long poem “Oh, Let Me Return,” Tao Yuanming is singing his longing for return to nature, away from “the net of dust.”

A Fictional Re-imagining of his Life GARETH WATTS

This book is a fictional account of the life of German film and theatre actor Werner Krauss, eponymous star of the classic silent film The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari. Upon gaining worldwide recognition in this film, Krauss was co-opted into the Nazi hate campaign of the 1930s and 1940s. He featured in the vicious propaganda film Jud Suss, and he was complicit in giving anti-Semitic performances onstage, most notably as Shylock in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice.

CHRISTOPHER NORRIS

“This stunningly accomplished volume, which handles the most demanding verse forms with apparently effortless skill, confirms Christopher Norris’s status as one of the most erudite, original and adventurous Englishlanguage poets of our time.” Terry Eagleton, Distinguished Professor of English Literature, University of Lancaster “ ‘Let’s think,’ writes Christopher Norris, ‘let’s think’ in verse, highly formalised verse. And let us, he writes, after Kant, ‘dare to know’ – to know, again in verse, highly formalised verse. And ‘let us,’ he writes, ‘know ourselves more fully.’ And we do. Here. Astonishing.” John Schad, Professor of Modern Literature, University of Lancaster These pieces have the hallmark qualities of intellectual range, perceptive wit, and formal inventiveness that characterize Norris’s verse-essays. They make a strong case for poetry as a vehicle for argument, dialogue, and open debate.

“E. San Juan is remarkable for his commitment to literature and culture as vital areas of contemporary social life.”

Fredric Jameson, Knut Schmidt-Nielsen Professor of Comparative Literature and Romance Studies, Duke University “E. San Juan is one of the world’s most distinguished progressive critics. He is undoubtedly the leading authority on Filipino-American literary relations.” H. Bruce Franklin, John Cotton Dana Professor of English and American Studies, Rutgers University In this epoch of disastrous neoliberal globalization, E. San Juan’s critique seizes the crisis in neocolonial Philippines as a point of intervention. As current Philippine President Duterte’s timely war on drugs and corruption rages, San Juan foregrounds the facticity that Filipinos are once more confronted with the barbaric legacy of U.S. domination, legitimized today as “civilizing” humanitarianism.

THEATRE AND PERFORMANCE STUDIES.

Child Actors on the London Stage, circa 1600

ebook

Their Education, Recruitment and Theatrical Success JULIE ACKROYD

The styles of play-texts which the boys performed and their manner of presenting characters helps to assess why child acting companies were commercially viable and popular. Their portrayal of all roles in a performance; young and old, male and female, clearly demonstrated their versatility and skill in mimicry and the adoption of other personas. Therefore the taking of grammar-school boys for re-training as actors was not opportunistic; their abductions were planned. The theatre owners undertook this method of recruitment as they felt that they were immune from prosecution due to holding royal commissions which they used to recruit boys. However, the Clifton vs. Robinson case clearly demonstrates that a determined parent whose child had been taken could challenge this and demand reparation.

Experimental Shakespeare

A Novel Reading of His Play-Scripts ELI ROZIK

Shakespeare’s playwrighting and possibly his directing reflect a consistent intent to explore principles that, in his days, were perceived as foreign to the dramatic idiom. This is evident within the framework of contemporary theatre theories at the time. Eli Rozik’s novel reading of the play-scripts provides the classical and synchronic theoretical background required to capture Shakespeare’s innovative approach, and is a major contribution to the history of European theatre practice and theory.

‘Hide Fox, and All After’ What is Concealed in Shakespeare’s Hamlet?

ebook

J. D. WINTER

Is there anything more to say on Hamlet? ‘Hide fox, and all after,’ a casual quip of the Prince, as he and his enemy the King start to hunt each other down, is taken as the title for this closely-considered survey of the play. J.D. Winter finds question after question in it raised and unanswered, as if the play’s dramatic method were in part to create uncertainty in its audience and so draw them in. He adopts three phrases from the text to provide a context for his approach: the play’s the thing, a rhapsody of words, and the invisible event.

During the war he manoeuvres three of his French publicist friends – Jean Luchaire, Fernand de Brinon, Drieu la Rochelle – into key positions, from where they can laud Nazi achievements and denigrate the Resistance.

The Intellectual Response to the First World War

ebook

How the Conflict Impacted on Ideas, Methods and Fields of Enquiry EDITED BY SARAH POSMAN, CEDRIC VAN DIJCK AND MARYSA DEMOOR

The First World War changed the dynamics of the European intellectual landscape in terms of international collaboration, the development of disciplines and new institutional visions. The conflict not only destroyed much of Europe’s material cultural heritage, it also damaged the 19th-century humanist conception of the function of thought and problematized the position of the thinker in society. What is the intellectual’s task in a time of destruction and death? This book spotlights the ways in which the war redrew the map of knowledge production and changed traditional paradigms, fundamentally altering the approach to intellectual work. Thinking became more democratic and specialized, with a range of voices tackling specific problems created by the war, but now more conspicuously related to particular causes. The focus on the viewpoints of the 1914–1918 intellectual cadre throws into perspective the ways in which the war changed the contents, methods and organization of intellectual work.

Humanitarian Aid Administered by the Friends’ Ambulance Unit during the First World War LINDA PALFREEMAN

The Friends’ Ambulance Unit (FAU) was created shortly after the outbreak of war. The idea of the unit’s founder, Philip J.

The first volunteers went to Belgium on 31 October 1914, under the auspices of the Joint War Committee of the British Red Cross Society and the Order of St John of Jerusalem. The Unit provided hospitals for the treatment of civilians, and worked intensively in the containment and treatment of the typhoid epidemic that swept the region, locating sufferers, providing them with medical care, and inoculating people against the disease.

Eli Ben Amram’s correspondence, discovered in the Genizah of Cairo, consists of his communications with Jewish figures from Egypt, Palestine, Babylon and Spain.

As the Fustat community leader during the second half of the eleventh century his writings reveal not only the political situation pertaining to the Mediterranean Basin at the time, but are unique with regard to how Jewish society fared and functioned. He was a determined writer in that he expressed himself well on many topics and wrote up his plans for his community, as well as his reservations, in dozens of letters, court documents and poems, all of which were revealed in the Genizah.

Sex & Gender in Hispanic Cultures EDITED BY DEBRA D. ANDRIST

Hierarchies and disparities based on sex and gender have characterized nearly all hominid societies over almost the entire world of cultures since time immemorial. Nearly without exception, those disparities have created a hierarchy of male over female. This book focuses on sex and gender issues in the Hispanic worlds, paying homage to all who do not fit within the strict parameters of previous definitions by including broadened descriptions of identity, both biological and social, and by highlighting aspects of traditional and non-traditional lifestyles as portrayed in art and literature.

Occupation, Collaboration and Selective Violence in the Spanish Civil War PETER ANDERSON

‘Today with the Red Army captive and disarmed, the Nationalist [nacionales] troops have achieved their final military objectives. The war is over.’ With these two sentences, on 1 April 1939, General Franco announced that his writ ran across the whole of Spain. Friend or Foe? explores how Francoist occupation saw members of the state and society collaborate to win control of Spanish society. At the heart of the process lay the challenging task in civil war of distinguishing between supporter and opponent.

The Transformation of La Vanguardia, 1881–1939 POL DALMAU

Whether under the corrupt politics of the Bourbon Restoration, the radical transformations of the Second Republic or the tragedy of the Spanish Civil War, La Vanguardia remained Barcelona’s indisputable journalistic benchmark. Central to this success was the Godó family’s extraordinary capacity to meet the changing tastes of a plural audience whilst adjusting to a changing political scenario. In parallel, the ownership of the newspaper allowed family members to expand their interests to other fields, such as politics, business and colonial rule in Cuba and Morocco.

Jorge Semprún The Spaniard who Survived the Nazis and Conquered Paris SOLEDAD FOX MAURA

“The most complete portrait of an intense and complex life, a voyage through the 20th century seen through the eyes of one of Spain’s most internationally relevant intellectuals.” Andrés Seoane, June 6, 2016. El Cultural, El Mundo Spanish by birth, Parisian by adoption, Semprún (1923–2011) was a legendary figure on the front lines of twentieth-century European history. During the first half of his life he was an exile of the Spanish Civil War, a member of the French Resistance, a Nazi camp survivor, and clandestine agent for the Spanish Communist Party.

After repeatedly risking his life from the 1930s to the 1960s, he reinvented himself as a prolific writer who turned the extraordinary material from his own life into a series of autobiographical novels, beginning with The Long Voyage, his 1963 masterpiece about his deportation to Buchenwald.

José María Aznar and Tony Blair’s Personal Motivations and their Global Impact NATHAN JONES

This book sets out to explain Aznar and Blair’s foreign policy and how they came to support the United States.

Understanding their relationship is imperative to explaining divisions over European reform, intervention, tackling rogue states, the response to 9/11, and the war on terrorism. This critical period in world politics has been subject to significant academic analysis, but the motivations behind the adoption of a pro-US foreign policy by Aznar and Blair have hitherto not been examined from a comparative perspective.

Democracy, Deeds and Dilemmas

ebook

British Civil Support for the Spanish Republic, 1936–1939 EMILY MASON

This book places British humanitarian responses to Spain within the context of Britain’s flourishing civic and popular political culture, following the advent of mass democracy in 1928 as supported by the Equal Franchise Act. Emily Mason explores engagement with ‘Spain’ through three foci: the peace movement, the co-operative movement and British Christians – groups that were at the heart of the humanitarian response, but which remain underexplored in current historiography. The book explores how the Republican cause resonated with notions of British identity and with the crises that different groups perceived to be threatening their world order. It explores the dilemma that non-intervention posed for many Britons, and argues that humanitarian support for the Spanish Republic offers an example of ‘active citizenship’ and popular internationalism in Britain between the wars.

History and Myth in Francoist Spain RÚBEN SERÉM

Rúben Serém dissects the conspiracy against the democratic Second Spanish Republic in the context of the uprising and civil war in Seville, the most populous urban centre seized by the military rebels during the coup d’état of July 1936. As the major industrial and economic centre in insurgent Spain, Seville remains central to understanding the rebels’ repressive project, for this Andalusian province witnessed the highest number of extra-judicial assassinations throughout the war. It dismantles, one by one, a series of carefully constructed narratives employed as rhetorical weapons to justify both the rebellion and the murderous rule of Queipo de Llano.

The Evolution of Portuguese National Narratives SARAH ASHBY

This exploration of the dialectic between Portugal’s sense of identity and belonging in the EU and the CPLP provides an analysis of the manner in which Portugal’s institutional allegiances to both of these organizations have impacted the political, economic, and social fabric of the nation. The fact that Portugal is turning to its former colonies as alternate partners in trade, commerce, emigration, and development initiatives may not be evidence of straightforward estrangement from the European continent. More likely, Portugal appears to be riding a fresh wave of what it means to be modern in the European milieu.

A Planetary Response NEVILLE BROWN

Cosmic Threats calls for the progressive creation of supra-national institutions intended to protect life on Earth against natural threats, be these terrestrial (pandemics, super-volcanoes, major earthquakes. . . .) or celestial (comets, asteroids, meteor storms . . .). Rancid though the world scene currently looks, this may actually be a good time to look towards a planetary security programme that can build up over a century or more. It would need special international institutions that are sufficiently integrated to cope with the celestial and terrestrial contingencies anticipated. Such an holistic approach to planetary security might prove to be a definitive substitute for war between nations.

Alcalá Zamora and the Failure of the Spanish Republic, 1931–1936

ebook

STANLEY G. PAYNE

Stanley Payne’s study argues that the failure of the Republic was not inevitable but depended on the policy choices of its president and the key party leaders. Alcalá Zamora’s professed goal was to “center the Republic,” stabilizing the new regime while avoiding extremes, but he failed altogether in this project. The Constitution of 1931 stipulated the “double responsibility” of parliamentary government both to the president and to a voting majority. Though Alcalá Zamora resisted strong efforts from the left to cancel the results of the first fully democratic elections in 1933, he subsequently used his powers recklessly, making and unmaking governments at will, refusing to permit normal functioning of parliament.

The Last Survivor

ebook

Cultural and Social Projects Underlying Spanish Fascism, 1931–1975 EDITED BY FERRAN GALLEGO AND FRANCISCO MORENTE

The work begins with an analysis of the historical identity of Spanish fascism, constituted in the process of fascistization of the Spanish right during the crisis of the Second Republic, and consolidated in the formation of the fascist single-party and the New State during the civil war.

Subsequent chapter contributions focus on various cultural and social projects (the university, political-cultural journals, the Labor University Service, local policies and social insurance) that sought to socialize Spaniards in the political principles of the Franco regime and thereby to strengthen social cohesion around it. Francoism faced varying degrees of non-compliance and outright hostility, expressed as different forms of cultural opposition to the Franco regime, especially in the years of its maturity (decades of the fifties and sixties), from Spaniards both inside Spain and in exile. Such opposition is explored in the context of how the regime reacted via the social, cultural and economic inducements at its disposal.

This book examines the massacre of 2,500 political prisoners by Republican security forces in the villages of Paracuellos and Torrejón de Ardoz near Madrid in November/December 1936. The atrocity took place while Santiago Carrillo was responsible for public order, though he denied any involvement. Julius Ruiz rejects both ‘revisionist’ right-wing writers such as César Vidal who cite Paracuellos as evidence that the Republic committed Soviet-style genocide and left-wing historians such as Paul Preston, who in his Spanish Holocaust argues that the massacres were primarily the responsibility of the Soviet secret police, the NKVD.

Rebuilding Islam in Contemporary Spain

ebook

The Politics of Mosque Establishment, 1976–2013 AVI ASTOR

This book examines how Islam went from being an aspect of Spain’s national heritage to be recovered and commemorated to a pressing social problem to be managed and controlled. It traces the events and developments that gave rise to this transformation, the diverse actors involved in the process, and the manner in which disputes over Muslim incorporation have become entangled with deeply-divisive debates over church–state relations and territorial autonomy. The core of Rebuilding Islam in Contemporary Spain centers on the shifting political and social dynamics surrounding the establishment of mosques, and the question of why anti-mosque mobilizations have been more prevalent and intense in Catalonia than other Spanish regions.

The Roots of the Transition to Democracy in Spain, 1962–1982 EDITED BY MIGUEL ÅNGEL RUIZ CARNICER

The great majority of Spaniards felt that the embrace of democratic freedoms and integration into the European Community was the only way forward during the Transition. But the shift from dictatorship to democracy from the 1960s onwards in Spain needs to be understood in relation to the multitude of political and social changes that took place – despite the opposition of Franco and the ‘bunker’ mentality of the regime. These changes manifested in a complex interaction between internal and external factors, which eventually resulted in the transformation of Spanish society itself.

British Intelligence in Spain during the Second World War EMILIO GRANDÍO SEOANE

The main claim of this study is that British pressure, exercised above all through their intelligence services, led Franco to distance himself from the Axis cause and eventually embrace that of the Allies. Starting from a virtually non-existent base, the British rapidly built up a complex intelligence network in Spain that stretched from Corunna to Barcelona and from Bilbao to Gibraltar.

The Destruction of the Indian Peoples of Hispano America ebook A Genocidal Encounter EITAN GINZBERG

It was not the original intention of the Spanish to harm the Hispanic-American natives. The Spanish Crown, Councils and Church considered the natives free and intelligent vassals entitled to be embraced by Christianity and by the Hispanic civil culture. However, it was the same (Spanish) monarchy’s decision to exploit the natives as taxpayers and as a reservoir of forced labor that made its rule in America exceptionally destructive. Based upon primary sources and current research on the relationship between colonialism and genocide, this book examines whether the Spanish actions were genocidal. What lies at the heart of the issue is whether the wide range of exploitative acts imply Crown and Council ministerial responsibility.

From science to ethics, from philosophy to art, from politics to communication, posthuman studies transcend analytical-conceptual categories of traditional disciplines. This new anthropology, open to a hetero-referential alterity (bio-techno-IT), requires, on the pathic level, new forms of adaptation and integration. The emancipation of the idea of a presumed human ‘essence’ brings possibilities as well as risks.

The Attempt to Uproot Sunni-Arab Influence A Geo-Strategic Analysis of the Western, Israeli and Iranian Quest for Domination

BY NABIL KHALIFÉ, TRANSLATED AND INTRODUCED BY JOSEPH A. KÉCHICHIAN

In 2014 Nabil Khalifé, an established Lebanese thinker, published a widely praised thesis that identified the root causes of renewed sectarian tensions at a time when confrontations polarized awakened Arab societies. Based on an extensive discussion of the 1979 Iranian Revolution that toppled the Shah, Khalifé advanced the notion that the revolution was not “Islamic” but an “Iranian-Shi‘ah” rebellion that ended the Pahlavi military monarchy, and that the post-2011 Sunni–Shi‘ah struggle was planned by leading Western powers, including Russia, to preserve Israel and impose the latter’s acceptance in the Middle East as a natural element. In this translation of Istihdaf Ahl al-Sunna [Targeting Sunnis], Joseph A. Kéchichian analyses the fundamental questions raised by the author to better place the current sectarian collision in a geo-strategic global perspective.

This book revisits the Yom Kippur War by exploring issues that have not previously received the attention they deserve or that could benefit from a fresh evaluation. The issues examined include: American-Israeli and Jordanian-Israeli relationships; the roles of Israeli nuclear weapons and airpower; the IDF’s practice of combined arms warfare; why the IDF reacted more quickly on the Golan front than in Sinai; the impact of American arms transfers; and the lessons derived from the war by the U.S. army and the IDF.

Watercraft on World Coins Volume III: Africa and Oceania, 1800–2011 YOSSI DOTAN

Reviews of Volume I: Europe, 1800–2005 and Volume II: America and Asia, 1800–2008 from Coin World, Numisnautik, and the Canadian Numismatic Association, are available on the Press website.

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