Sacrament an Alter/The Sacrament of the Altar

A critical edition with translation

D. H. FROST

The first ever critical edition of a pivotal Cornish-language text. Comprehensive approach presents parallel transcription, edited version, translation and key sources. In-depth commentary offers many insights into the reception of the material.

‘Sacrament an Alter’ (The Sacrament of the Altar) is a Cornish patristic catena selected and translated from Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, which is attached to the translation of Bishop Bonner’s Homilies in the Tregear Manuscript (BL Add. MS 46397). No complete critical edition of the Tregear Homilies has been published since the manuscript’s discovery, yet it is the longest surviving example of Cornish prose. The so-called thirteenth homily, ‘Sacrament an Alter’ is a work in its own right, of a later period than the other twelve homilies, and represents a distinctive form of Cornish.

In addition to establishing authorship, date, sources and historical context of this important text, the present book offers a complete and accurate transcription of the manuscript, along with an edited version thereof, a translation and all the relevant source passages—largely taken from the account of the 1555 Oxford Disputations given in John Foxe’s ‘Acts and Monuments’. A full commentary then explores hermeneutical, theological and dialectic issues arising from the text. Extensive notes concentrate on interesting features of the Cornish—making a significant contribution to the study of the late evolution of Cornish, since the language can be dated to around 1576, halfway between that of John Tregear and William Jordan, author of the Creation of the World.

This first ever critical edition of a pivotal Cornish-language text opens to the Tudor historian—and the general reader—a previously closed window (due to its language) on a crucial example of the reception of Foxe, and gives fascinating insights into a possible alliance between Church Papism and recusancy in Tudor Cornwall.

Student Life in NineteenthCentury Cambridge

John Wright’s Alma Mater

EDITED BY CHRISTOPHER STRAY

The only edition of this first book-length student memoir to be published in Britain since its original appearance in 1827. Packed with fascinating and entertaining detail about college life.

Commentary and detailed notes offer numerous scholarly insights.

This book tells the story of John Wright, a talented but poor student at Cambridge who was deprived of success and impelled to make a living as hack writer in London, where he was often imprisoned for debt. His memoir, along with the in-depth commentary and detailed scholarly notes presented here, offers extraordinary reading.

PRAISE FOR STUDENT LIFE IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY CAMBRIDGE

Restored to health by Stray‘s perfect editing, this strangely helpful account of Cambridge two centuries ago by a sometime undergraduate scoundrel is a mélange of odd details, welcome fact, fiction, frenzy and color. Sheldon Rothblatt, University of California, Berkeley

J.M.F. Wright’s picaresque account of his undergraduate days in early nineteenth-century Cambridge has been largely overlooked for nearly 200 years. Now, with an illuminating introduction and numerous informative annotations, Stray’s masterly edition breathes new life into this forgotten gem. Professor Adrian Rice, Randolph-Macon College, Virginia

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Christopher Stray is a Cambridge Classics graduate. He taught in schools before undertaking research on the history of education, and has held visiting positions at the universities of Cambridge, Yale and Princeton. He has published widely on schools and universities, examinations and institutional slang.

Eating Disorders in Public Discourse

Exploring Media Representations and Lived Experiences

EDITED BY LAURA A. CARIOLA

Explores the intersection between public discourse and mental health through the important topic of eating disorders. A timely dissection of how journalistic practice affects widely held social perspectives.

Promotes a better public understanding of eating disorders.

Eating disorders remain little understood by the public, and sensationalist stories in the media have done little to dispel simplistic and reductionist perspectives. This book uncovers compelling insights on the intersection of language, discourse and mental health.

PRAISE FOR EATING DISORDERS IN PUBLIC DISCOURSE

This wide-ranging collection shows us, in detailed analyses, how the ways we speak and write construct our relation to food and to each other to make what is pathological about eating normalised and turn many understandable responses into forms of pathology. Here are models for critical research, and new openings for empirical and conceptual questioning of what ‘disorder’ involves for those who diagnose it and for those who suffer it.

Ian Parker, critical psychologist and Honorary Professor of Education, University of Manchester

Eating Disorders in Public Discourse...is an important contribution to the issue of eating disorders that centers linguistic and qualitative approaches. This edited volume features excellent contributions from twenty five scholars, who address eating disorders in both traditional media and participatory media. Robert K. Beshara, Assistant Professor and Chair of Arts & Human Sciences, Northern New Mexico College

Includes refreshing and original discussion of the impact of media discourses on sufferers – an often neglected perspective.

Prof. Helen Kelly-Holmes, University of Limerick

NOW IN PAPERBACK

Miners, Mariners & Masons

The Global Network of Victorian Freemasonry

ROGER BURT

First ever examination of Freemasonry in everyday life of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Offers detailed prosopographical analysis based on hitherto unseen original sources.

Examines the international reach of the network, including Masonic lodges in the United States, Australia and South Africa.

This book is the first sustained and dispassionate study of the role of Freemasonry in everyday social and economic life: why men joined, what it did for them and their families, and how it affected the development of communities and local economies.

Freemasonry played a major role in the economic and social life of the Victorian era but it has received very little sustained attention by academic historians. General histories of the period hardly notice the subject while detailed studies mainly confine themselves to its origins in the early eighteenth century and its later institutional development. This book is the first sustained and dispassionate study of the role of Freemasonry in everyday social and economic life: why men joined, what it did for them and their families, and how it affected the development of communities and local economies.

REVIEWS

This is the assured and accessible prose of an author who, over the course of a career, has mastered much about communication, Freemasonry, mariners and miners. His detailed and thorough assessment is supported by a scholarly bibliography, helpful references, 3 indexes and over 40 figures, illustrations and tables. Burt has produced an exemplar case study for family and community historians.

Daniel Weinbren, Family & Community History Journal

This work is certainly the first of what this reviewer hopes will be many of its kind. A a valuable addition to the literature available.

Mark Dennis, Folk Life: Journal of Ethnological Studies

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Roger Burt is Professor Emeritus of Economic History at the University of Exeter. He has been a consultant to mining companies and government departments and contributes to radio programmes on mining related issues.

TV-Philosophy

How TV Series Change Our Thinking

SANDRA LAUGIER

The first book to approach television series and why they matter from a philosophical perspective.

Makes the case for TV series as true works of art and of thought, and shows why it is important to defend their philosophical significance.

Demonstrates how our relationship with TV series exemplifies a fundamentally democratic mode of philosophical thinking.

This is the first book to explore the hold of TV series on our lives from a philosophical and ethical perspective. Sandra Laugier argues that this vital and ubiquitous expression of popular culture throughout the world is transformative in its effects on the activity of philosophy in everyday life. Drawing on Stanley Cavell’s work on film and ordinary experience, Laugier contends that we are deeply affected by the formative role played by the TV series we watch, and by the ways they become interconnected with our daily lives.

The philosophical thinking embodied in series empowers individuals in their capacity to experience, understand and appropriate elements of the world, and to educate themselves. Through our relationships with TV series, we develop our own tastes and competences, which are constitutive of our distinct experience of life. ‘Series-philosophy’ is thus a democratizing force. It also offers us a new ethics, for morality can be found not in general rules and abstract principles but in the narrative texture of characters in everyday situations facing particular ethical problems, and with whom we form attachments that result in our moral education—in sometimes surprising ways.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Sandra Laugier, a former student at the Ecole normale supérieure and at Harvard University, is Professor of Philosophy at Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne. She has published extensively on ordinary language philosophy (Wittgenstein, Austin, Cavell), moral and political philosophy, gender studies and the ethics of care, popular film, and TV series, and is the author of over 30 books in total, including Why We Need Ordinary Language Philosophy (2013), and Politics of the Ordinary: Care, Ethics, and Forms of Life (2020).

TV-Philosophy in Action

The Ethics and Politics of TV Series

SANDRA LAUGIER

Wide-ranging short writings on a variety of important TV series from the last 20 years.

Thematically arranged, to show how TV series tackle pressing philosophical issues concerned with democracy, security, gender roles, and ethical values.

Among the many shows covered are Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 24, The Handmaid's Tale, House of Cards, The Americans, Game of Thrones, The Crown, This Is Us, The Bureau, and For All Mankind.

TV-Philosophy in Action is inspired by philosopher and series-devotee Sandra Laugier’s monthly columns published in the French journal Libération. It is her contribution to the collective reflection on TV series produced by critics, theorists, and the vast mass of individual watchers who evaluate and discuss these programmes every day. The book brings together a selection of articles from Libération, as well as longer pieces, to demonstrate ‘TV-Philosophy in action’: Laugier’s response as a philosopher-viewer to a range of particularly salient TV shows from the last 20 years, and their relationship to social and political issues of our times. Arranged under a number of important themes—relating to politics, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves about our world—the book shows how TV series provide a rich resource for thinking about our lives, and places them centre-stage as works of art, and of thought, in their own right.

Television with Stanley Cavell in Mind

EDITED BY DAVID LAROCCA, SANDRA LAUGIER

The first philosophy book to take TV series seriously as philosophical works.

A crucial guide to the twenty-first century’s most dominant public artform—television—through the philosophical ideas of Stanley Cavell: one of America’s greatest thinkers on film and media.

A carefully selected line-up of the best critics working on film, television, and media articulate just how important Cavell’s work is for thinking about TV series.

The first book devoted exclusively to how Stanley Cavell’s thoughts about film apply to television. In a dozen chapters, a number of acknowledged critics and philosophers articulate how Cavell’s remarks on the moral perfectionism of cinema apply even more to the twenty-first century television series.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

The Folklore of Devon

MARK NORMAN

The first major collection of Devonshire folklore for nearly half a century, brought up to date with an examination of internet lore and modern tales.

Unlocks the vital collections of material held in the Devonshire Association archives and provides new analysis and broader comparison with folklore traditions.

Offers new insights into oft-quoted folklore tales of Devon.

Devon has a long and rich folkloric heritage which has been extensively collected over many years. This book consolidates more than a century of research by eminent Devon folklorists into one valuable study and builds on the vital work that was undertaken by the Devonshire Association, providing insightful analysis of the subject matter and drawing comparisons with folklore traditions beyond the county.

The first major work on Devon's folklore since Ralph Whitlock’s short book published by the Folklore Society in the 1970s, this volume brings the subject into the twenty-first century with consideration of internet memes and modern lore, demonstrating that ‘folklore’ does not equate to ‘old rural practice’. With chapters covering the history of Devon's folklore collecting, tales from the moors, the annual cycle, farming and the weather, the devil, fairies, hauntings, black dogs, witchcraft and modern lore, this will remain the standard work for many years to come.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Mark Norman was recently appointed as the new Recorder of Folklore for the Devonshire Association, and is well known as a popular folklorist around the world thanks to his creation, The Folklore Podcast, which has enjoyed more than 1.5 million downloads. He is a council member of the Folklore Society and founding curator of The Folklore Library and Archive. The Folklore of Devon is Mark’s fourth book.

Paediatrics in the Reichsuniversität Straßburg

Children's Medicine at a Bastion of Nazi Ideology

AISLING SHALVEY

Presents the first in-depth account of previously unknown patient files from Nazi paediatric cases.

Eschews the usual top-down approach, making patient experience central to the analysis.

Reveals how sick children were affected by Nazi ideology.

This sensitive yet incisive book addresses the medical treatment of children in the occupied city of Strasbourg during Nazi occupation. Exploring more than 1,000 previously undocumented patient files, it illuminates starkly the workings of paediatric care at a pivotal moment in history. Issues of nationality, social class, and diagnosis all contributed to the experience of each child, and here extensive data analysis is deployed to back up poignant individual stories.

This is the first ever demographic overview of a vulnerable group who were treated in the hospital of the Reichsuniversität Straßburg. Veering away from the well-established, top-down approach of examining the doctors, instead it makes the patient central to the analysis. A vivid picture emerges of the practical impact that war and occupation had on children who were suffering from illness, revealing how they were affected by Nazi ideology.

Based on previously under-utilized primary sources, this volume employs a novel and distinctive analytical framework, using Alltagsgeschichte (the history of everyday life) and patient experience theory to frame medical records and accounts. The book will be relevant to those interested in the history of childhood, politics, occupation and border disputes, psychiatry, medicine, denazification and the postwar era, the history of National Socialism, patient history and the Second World War.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Aisling Shalvey completed her BA at Maynooth University, and her MA at Oxford Brookes University. Her PhD at the University of Strasbourg was on the topic of paediatrics under National Socialism as part of a commission on the history of the Reichsuniversität Straßburg.

Turkish Drama Serials

The

Importance and Influence of a Globally Popular Television

Phenomenon

MIRIAM BERG

The first book to present comparative audience data on Turkish drama serials from three distinct parts of the world (Qatar, Chile, and Israel).

Explores the intertwined nature of Turkish foreign policy, economic, and trade relationships, and the successful reach and reception of its drama serials.

Reveals the importance of Turkish drama serials as a softpower tool for Turkey, and in the perception of Muslim culture and people more generally.

The extraordinary global success of Turkish drama serials is a significant development in contemporary popular culture. This book presents comparative audience data from three different regions to explore its ramifications across the Global South. We learn how this phenomenon has transformed Turkey—a Muslim-majority country—into the world’s secondlargest producer of scripted television serials, enticing audiences from all over the world.

The book takes an audience-centred approach, investigating the reasons for the allure of Turkish dramas to Arab, Latin American, and Israeli audiences. In tandem, it explores Turkey's changing foreign policy, economic, and trade relationships since the turn of the millennium, which have coincided with the enormous success of the country's television output. It also analyses the role and importance of Turkish dramas as a soft-power tool by scrutinizing how they have influenced viewers' perceptions of Turkey, its people, and its culture.

This volume will appeal to those working in various disciplines—from media and communication, international relations, public diplomacy, sociology, and Middle Eastern studies. The material will also be of great relevance to upperlevel undergraduates, postgraduate students, academics, scholars and researchers.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Miriam Berg is an assistant professor in the journalism and strategic communication program at Northwestern University Qatar. Her research focuses on the intertwined nature of geopolitics and media, along with the viewing habits and digital practices of refugee, migrant, and diasporic audiences.

World War Two Simulated

Digital Games and Reconfigurations of the Past

CURTIS D. CARBONELL

Isolates a particular dynamic within 'simgames', as players engage with real history.

Considers how imaginary and reimagined worlds can mis/inform understanding of the past.

Interdisciplinary approach foregrounds player experiences.

This book examines how World War Two is simulated through serious computer games, such as first-person shooters, flight and tank simulators, and grand strategy games. It argues that a particular dynamic emerges in these ‘simgames’, especially when curious players begin to look beyond gameplay for how to understand the past. This points them toward a wide range of ‘simtexts’—anything from game manuals or online resources such as YouTube, to published material in the popular sphere or even monographs by professional historians. This is important because major events like World War Two continue to feature in a wide range of game genres, and this engagement demonstrates how we are learning about the past outside of traditional mechanisms such as classrooms, teachers or textbooks.

Utilizing interdisciplinary methods, this volume foregrounds the experience that simgames provides to players, especially in how they reconfigure and reimagine history. Despite its visceral power and instructive potential, the simulated digital experience created by simgames curates World War Two and other global events of similar magnitude within constrained frames that ignore much of what actually happened in the past. This suggests that as computer games continue to increase in power and fidelity—as seen with the expanding scope of virtual reality—then the range of what can be simulated will grow too. This will raise concerns about what is morally acceptable to be simulated, and what should remain unplayable.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Curtis D. Carbonell is an associate professor of English at Khalifa University. He is interested in representations of technology and their effects on human beings in science fiction and fantasy studies, as well as in how analog-and-digital game studies are new fields that describe complex modes of cultural production. His previous book Dread Trident: Tabletop RolePlaying Games and the Modern Fantastic (2019) examines how tabletop roleplaying games offer an archive of fantasy and SF gametexts ripe for an investigation into the rise of realized worlds.

Madness and Literature

What Fiction Can Do for the Understanding of Mental Illness

EDITED BY LASSE R. GAMMELGAARD

Demonstrates how literature and narrative theory can be employed instrumentally in clinical environments and for educational purposes.

Chapters develop new transdisciplinary theory about madness and literature.

Offers innovative readings of canonical madness literature in addition to analyses of new experimental literature.

This book engages with literature’s multifarious ways of probing minds and bodies in a state of ill mental health. Chapters analyse literature that depicts issues and diagnoses such as trauma, psychosis, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, self-harm, hoarding disorder and PTSD from multiple theoretical and methodological perspectives.

PRAISE FOR MADNESS AND LITERATURE

There’s news here that moves us to reconsider not only what literature can teach us, but how it can teach us, and even be of service to people living with mental illness and those who treat and care for them. Here’s a lively and farreaching contribution to the field of medical humanities.

Maura Spiegel, Division of Narrative Medicine, Columbia University

A wonderful array of critical and reflective accounts about literature representing mental illness in keeping with a health humanities approach that values interdisciplinary, inclusive and potentially applicable knowledge.

Paul Crawford, Professor of Health Humanities, University of Nottingham

An indispensable contribution to the study of literature and madness, the health humanities, and medical humanities. The diverse work in this volume situates the complex and different experiences of literary madness, allowing us to negotiate new definitions of mental illness and its metaphors, dialogue, and plot lines in narrative theory. A must for scholars and students of literature interested in the depiction of mental health in literature.

Shahd Alshammari, Assistant Professor of English, Gulf University for Science & Technology

Grand-Guignolesque

Classic and Contemporary Horror Theatre

EDITED BY RICHARD J. HAND, MICHAEL WILSON

An analysis of the continuing influence and legacy of the Grand-Guignol.

13 Previously unpublished playscripts, including translations from the French and first-time publication of both classic and contemporary English works. Previously unpublished practitioner documentation illuminating horror theatre in performance.

Grand-Guignolesque explores the continuing influence and legacy of the infamous Parisian theatre of horror. The volume consists of a critical introduction along with thirteen previously unpublished scripts of classic Grand-Guignol and modern horror plays, each with its own contextualising preface.

PRAISE FOR GRAND-GUIGNOLESQUE

Hand and Wilson have done it again – their work on the Grand Guignol has been both pioneering and vital...Augmented by an insightful and entertaining overview of horror theatre, the collection stands alone as a brilliant corpus of dread for the stage and the logical extension of their work so far – well worth adding to the shelf.

Kevin J. Wetmore, Jr., Author of Eaters of the Dead

Prepare to gasp, gag, and guffaw as Richard Hand and Michael Wilson track the global influence of Paris’s infamous Théâtre du Grand-Guignol across thirteen blood-soaked plays produced between 1907 and 2015, and collected here for the first time. This important anthology makes a powerful case for the enduring presence of a “grand guignolesque” mode within contemporary live horror performance, and will serve as an invaluable resource for future generations of Gothic scholars, theatre practitioners, and horror aficionados.

Christine Ferguson, University of Stirling

Bill Douglas

A Film Artist

EDITED BY PHIL WICKHAM, AMELIA WATTS

A timely reassessment of Bill Douglas 30 years after his death.

Makes use of new archival material.

Looks at Douglas’s legacy beyond his films. Interrogates the question of whether it is possible to be an artist working in the film industry.

This book uses new source material to reappraise the work of Bill Douglas –one of Britain’s most significant and singular filmmakers. Douglas’s poetic and moving films continue to inspire filmmakers today but his struggles within the film industry raise questions as to whether it is possible to be an artist working within a commercial medium.

PRAISE FOR BILL DOUGLAS

I thought I know Bill Douglas' movies inside out, but this new book about Scotland's greatest filmmaker told me many new things.

Mark Cousins

This book provides a level of sustained critical analysis of Douglas’ work that is much needed, while the engagement with his archive opens up the material in new, original ways. A refreshing reconsideration of Douglas, and an innovative contribution to the study of film in general.

Sarah Neely, University of Glasgow

This book is a wonderful testament to the persistence and pursuit of a truly unique vision.

Sarah Street, University of Bristol

Vaccination Wars

Cornwall in the Nineteenth Century

ELLA STEWART-PETERS

Challenges the existing historiography of nineteenth-century vaccination and the anti-vaccination movement through a unique focus on the Cornish experience.

Highlights the heavy price paid by those opposed to smallpox vaccination - including income loss, imprisonment, and the death of a child.

Demonstrates the links between the modern anti-vaccination movement and its antecedents.

This is the history of the grassroots anti-vaccination movement in nineteenthcentury Cornwall. The book examines the lives of those who publicly opposed the procedure, the earliest phases of vaccine objection, the rise of middle class resistance and opposition societies, and the influence of propaganda for statemandated medical practices.

PRAISE FOR VACCINATION WARS

...this book provides historical insight into the mentalities and misunderstandings that, even today during the greatest pandemic in a century, continue to spur resistance to medical precautions against contagious disease and their enforcement by public health authorities.

Peter Baldwin, author of Contagion and the State in Europe, 1830 1930

This is a wonderful book, unearthing and examining in lavish detail the social, religious, political and medical elements that went into a bitter struggle over vaccination.

Arthur Allen, author of Vaccine: The Controversial Story of Medicine's Greatest Lifesaver

A major contribution to the history of medicine, but also an important contribution to nineteenth-century social history and to Cornish studies.

Mermaids

Art, Symbolism and Mythology

AXEL MÜLLER, CHRISTOPHER HALLS, BEN WILLIAMSON

Presents a comprehensive overview of mermaids in Western culture and art.

Lavishly illustrated with beautiful and curious depictions of the mermaid through time.

Brings an interdisciplinary angle to the subject, taking in art history, evolutionary theory, classics, literary studies and more.

Women with fish tails are among the oldest and most popular of mythological creatures. This book presents a comprehensive, interdisciplinary and beautifully illustrated study of mermaids and their influence on Western culture. The roots of mermaid mythology and its metamorphosis through the centuries are discussed, from 600 BCE to the present day.

PRAISE FOR MERMAIDS

A great deal of fascinating information and fabulous illustrations about a topic most of us have hardly even considered, and yet the topic entails a motif in Western culture that extends back to earliest times.

Professor Robert Marc Friedman, University of Oslo

This beautifully-illustrated, well-researched, delightful book is sure to please anyone interested in the origins of mermaids, and why we still find them so intriguing.

Vaughn Scribner, author of Merpeople: A Human History

Mermaids offers a compelling overview of the emergence of the mermaid myth in western culture, beginning in the ancient cultures of the eastern Mediterranean. The primary focus is on examples from art (beautifully and generously illustrated) and literature, but the authors also engage with science and pseudoscience.

Screening Europe in Australasia

Transnational Silent Film Before and After the Rise of Hollywood

JULIE K. ALLEN

Ground-breaking use of digitized Australian and New Zealand newspapers to reconstruct the lost circulation history of silent films.

Exhaustive documentation of the distribution and exhibition of European silent feature films in the Antipodes.

Compelling biographical sketches of the ambitious pioneers of the Australasian cinema industry.

This book’s treatment of the extensive circulation of European silent features and stars in Australasia reveals the vibrant transnationalism of silent film before the rise of Hollywood, and frames the emergence of art house cinema in the 1920s.

PRAISE FOR SCREENING EUROPE IN AUSTRALASIA

The author's arguments and conclusions carefully and convincingly draw on wellselected historical sources: archival documentation and the daily Australasian press.

Professor Emeritus Dr Martin Loiperdinger, University of Trier, Germany

A superb contribution to transnational cinema studies, specifically the history of film distribution, exhibition, and reception in the silent period. Focused on the usually neglected region of Australia and New Zealand, Allen’s book is a model of extensive original research (in several languages), an admirable series of topical chapters, a list of hundreds of imported European film titles, and an enviable, accessible writing style.

Professor Richard Abel, University of Michigan

Julie Allen has, with meticulous research, filled in the gaps to show how the social experience and entrepreneurial economy of cinema in Australasia has, from the outset, been diversly transnational. Screening Europe in Australasia reveals the manifold ways in which the introduction of cinema helped colonial Australia and New Zealand define a relationship to the world, to each other and to themselves.

Professor Deb Verhoeven, University of Alberta

Showcases a radical approach to folk history, using social media and recent advances in digitization.

Offers a corrective and nuanced re-reading of an important figure in British folklore.

Dr Ceri Houlbrook, Lecturer in Folklore and History, University of Hertfordshire

Simon Young offers a truly innovative combination of landscape studies, social history, linguistics and folkloristics. His book transforms our understanding of how legend and landscape interact at the local level. Davide Ermacora, University of Turin
