Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2025Folklore
A journey through the past and present
by Owen Davies, Ceri Houlbrook
A gripping guide to the weird yet everyday world of British folklore. In this ground-breaking book, two leading experts provide the definitive guide to British folklore past and present. Owen Davies and Ceri Houlbrook explore folklore in all its remarkable variations, from village rituals and fairy tales to UFO legends and internet fanfiction. Travelling through a landscape of witches, wizards and wicker men, they reveal how folklore has been researched and written about in the past and show how it continues to be lived in the present. At the same time, they provide the reader with a valuable toolkit for understanding how to interpret the diverse examples given. The book's key message is that folklore is much more than the fossilised remains of a distant, rural past. Folklore is and always has been ubiquitous, dynamic and political. It is a living tradition that draws from many sources, including migrant communities, and is forever being renewed and updated.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2020Knowledge, mediation and empire
James Tod's journeys among the Rajputs
by Florence D'Souza, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie
This study of the British colonial administrator James Tod (1782-1835), who spent five years in north-western India (1818-22) collecting every conceivable type of material of historical or cultural interest on the Rajputs and the Gujaratis, gives special attention to his role as a mediator of knowledge about this little-known region of the British Empire in the early nineteenth century to British and European audiences. The book aims to illustrate that British officers did not spend all their time oppressing and inferiorising the indigenous peoples under their colonial authority, but also contributed to propagating cultural and scientific information about them, and that they did not react only negatively to the various types of human difference they encountered in the field.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2025The Jacobites and the Grand Tour
Educational travel and small-states' diplomacy
by Jérémy Filet
In the first monograph to fully examine the intersecting networks of Jacobites and travellers to the continent, Filet considers how small states used official diplomacy and deployed soft power - embodied by educational academies - to achieve foreign policy goals. This work uses little-known archival materials to explain how and why certain small states secretly supported the Jacobite cause during the crucial years surrounding the 1715 rising, while others stayed out of Jacobite affairs.At the same time, the book demonstrates how early modern small states sought to cultivate good relations with Britain by attracting travellers as part of a wider trend of ensuring connections with future diplomats or politicians in case a Stuart restoration never came.This publication therefore brings together a study of Britain, small states, Jacobitism, and educational travel, in its nexus at continental academies.

May 2000Die verborgene Tradition
Essays
by Hannah Arendt
Innerhalb der lebenslangen Auseinandersetzung Hannah Arendts mit der ›jüdischen Frage‹ kommt der Verborgenen Tradition eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Hannah Arendt versammelte in diesem Band sieben in den dreißiger und vierziger Jahren verfaßte Essays: Über den Imperialismus – Organisierte Schuld – Die verborgene Tradition – Juden in der Welt von gestern – Franz Kafka – Aufklärung und Judenfrage – Der Zionismus aus heutiger Sicht. Jeder dieser Essays ist, wie sie in der vorausgestellten ›Zueignung an Karl Jaspers‹ ausführt, im Bewußtsein des jüdischen Schicksals in diesem Jahrhundert geschrieben. Sich kurz nach der Shoah in Deutschland, in deutscher Sprache zu politischen, historischen und literarischen Themen aus jüdischer Perspektive zu äußern ist für sie keineswegs selbstverständlich. Der Essayband ist das Zeugnis ihrer frühen Entscheidung, dennoch von jüdischer Seite aus zu der nach 1945 in Deutschland beginnenden Auseinandersetzung mit der Vergangenheit beizutragen. Die verborgene Tradition erschien erstmals 1976 im Suhrkamp Verlag. Die Sammlung geht zum größeren Teil zurück auf die erste Buchveröffentlichung Hannah Arendts im Nachkriegsdeutschland, Sechs Essays (1948).

October 2000Die philosophische Aktualität der jüdischen Tradition
by Werner Stegmaier
In diesem Band, in dem alle relevanten geisteswissenschaftlichen Disziplinen vertreten sind, wird das Denken der jüdischen Tradition nicht mehr wie gewohnt an den Rationalitätskriterien des philosophisch-wissenschaftlichen Denkens gemessen, unter denen es dann willkürlich und irrational erscheint, sondern selbst zum Horizont der Kritik gemacht. Ziel ist es, von den namhaftesten Vertretern der jüdischen Tradition her das europäische Denken zur Besinnung über seine Grundentscheidungen zu bringen.

December 1984Die verborgene Tradition
Acht Essays
by Hannah Arendt, Friedrich Griese
Kurz nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg erschienen sechs Essays von Hannah Arendt über politisch-soziologische und philosophisch-literarische Themen, geschrieben im Bewußtsein der Zeit, das ein Bewußtsein des jüdischen Schicksals war: Über die organisierte Schuld, den Imperialismus, die Existenzphilosophie, über die verborgene Tradition eines Heine, Kafka, Chaplin oder Stefan Zweig. »Es fällt heute einem Juden nicht leicht, in Deutschland zu veröffentlichen, und sei er ein Jude deutscher Sprache. Angesichts dessen, was geschehen ist, zählt die Verführung, seine eigene Sprache wieder schreiben zu dürfen, wahrhaftig nicht, obwohl dies die einzige Heimkehr aus dem Exil ist, die man nie ganz aus den Träumen verbannen kann«, so definiert Hannah Arendt in einer dem Band vorgestellten Zueignung an ihren Lehrer Karl Jaspers die Situation, aus der heraus sie spontan und zwingend Stellung bezieht. Die Aufsätze dieses bisher nicht mehr erschienenen »Buches seiner Zeit« sind für die vorliegende Ausgabe um zwei Aufsätze über die Aufklärung und die Jugendfrage (in neuer Übersetzung aus dem Englischen) erweitert.

Riddles at work in the early medieval tradition
Words, ideas, interactions
by Megan Cavell, Jennifer Neville
Capitalising on developments in the field over the past decade, Riddles at work provides an up-to-date microcosm of research on the early medieval riddle tradition. The book presents a wide range of traditional and experimental methodologies. The contributors treat the riddles both as individual poems and as parts of a tradition, but, most importantly, they address Latin and Old English riddles side-by-side, bringing together texts that originally developed in conversation with each other but have often been separated by scholarship. Together, the chapters reveal that there is no single, right way to read these texts but rather a multitude of productive paths. This book will appeal to students and scholars of early medieval studies. It contains new as well as established voices, including Jonathan Wilcox, Mercedes Salvador-Bello and Jennifer Neville.

The Irish in Manchester c.1750–1921
Resistance, adaptation and identity
by Mervyn Busteed
This book examines the development of the Irish community in Manchester, one of the most dynamic cities of nineteenth-century Britain. Based on research into a wide variety of local sources, it examines the process by which the Irish came to be blamed for all the ills of the Industrial Revolution and the ways in which they attempted to cope with a sometimes actively hostile environment. It discusses the nature and degree of residential segregation in one notable Irish district and the role of the Catholic Church as a source of spiritual comfort and the base for a dense network of mutual aid and social and cultural organisations. It also examines how the Irish community allied itself with local campaign groups and political parties and organised celebrations and processions that simultaneously expressed its evolving sense of Irishness but fitted in with local traditions and customs.

Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2010Biografía de un cimarrón
By Miguel Barnet and Esteban Montejo
by Catherine Davies, William Rowlandson
This Biography of a runaway slave is arguably the best-known book to have been written and published in revolutionary Cuba, being the testimonial narrative of Esteban Montejo, a former slave, runaway, and soldier in the Cuban wars of independence. The text is the collaboration between ethnographer Miguel Barnet and Montejo, the result of three years of tape-recorded interviews, transcribed, edited and annotated by Barnet. Montejo provides a first-hand account of slavery in nineteenth-century Cuba - the language, religion, music, and customs - and describes life in the sugar plantations and mills and as a runaway slave. Montejo's text also covers key historical moments, from slavery to Abolition, the Ten Years War, the Spanish American War, and US intervention in the new republic. Reflecting the growing interest in Latin American and Cuban Studies, this student edition includes the complete text in Spanish, notes in English, a time-line of Cuban history and themes for debate and discussion. The extensive introduction focuses on three main areas: an overview of Cuban history featuring slavery, wars of independence and the new republic; an overview of the genre of the testimonial narrative as it emerged as an important literary style in revolutionary Cuba; and an analysis of the relationship between the Cuban Revolution and the publication of the text. There is also an extensive bibliography. ;

The Conservative Party and the Constitution examines the profound influence on Britain's constitutional framework over nearly two centuries. Through rigorous analysis, it traces how Tory leaders navigated parliamentary reform, devolution, and Brexit, balancing tradition with pragmatic adaptation. Drawing on exclusive interviews, archival records, and historical sources, the book reveals the Party's statecraft and offers fresh insights into the Conservatives' role in shaping modern governance. Essential for historians, political scientists, and those engaged with British politics, this study illuminates the dynamic interplay of power, ideology, and constitutional change, making it a vital contribution to understanding Britain's constitutional history.
