Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2021Emotional monasticism
Affective piety in the eleventh-century monastery of John of Fécamp
by Lauren Mancia
Medievalists have long taught that highly emotional Christian devotion, often called 'affective piety', appeared in Europe after the twelfth century and was primarily practiced by communities of mendicants, lay people and women. Emotional monasticism challenges this view. The first study of affective piety in an eleventh-century monastic context, it traces the early history of affective devotion through the life and works of the earliest known writer of emotional prayers, John of Fécamp, abbot of the Norman monastery of Fécamp from 1028-78. Exposing the early medieval monastic roots of later medieval affective piety, the book casts a new light on the devotional life of monks in Europe before the twelfth century and redefines how medievalists should teach the history of Christianity.

December 2025Neue Wege zu einer Geschichte der Bundesrepublik
by Claudia C. Gatzka, Sonja Levsen
Lange erzählten Historiker der Bundesrepublik Geschichten von wachsendem Wohlstand, Modernisierung, erlernter Liberalität und stabiler Demokratie. Deutschland schien »im Westen« angekommen. Die Herausforderungen der Gegenwart aber verändern unseren Blick auf die jüngere Vergangenheit: Klimawandel, neuer Nationalismus, Ungleichheit und zunehmende Gewalt im politischen Alltag führen vor Augen, was mit diesen Geschichten nicht stimmte – und was sie nicht erzählten. Mit Blick auf zentrale Themen der Zeitgeschichte präsentieren renommierte Historiker:innen wie Frank Bösch, Benno Gammerl, Roman Köster, Simone Derix, Dominik Rigoll, Lauren Stokes und Winfried Süß in diesem Band neue Perspektiven auf die bundesdeutsche Geschichte seit 1945.

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2010Harriet Martineau
Authorship, society and empire
by Ella Dzelzainis, Cora Kaplan
Harriet Martineau responds to the strong revival of interest in her life and writing, exploring Martineau's controversial views through her innovative use of popular cultural forms-journalism, travel writing, didactic fiction, novels, translation, autobiography and history. This is the first collection of essays to revisit and reassess Martineau's leading place in Victorian culture and in the development of nineteenth-century liberalism. Distinguished contributors-including Isobel Armstrong, Lauren Goodlad, Catherine Hall, Deborah Logan and Linda Peterson-offer critical analyses of her trailblazing career as a professional 'woman of letters'. The essays collected here move from personal to global concerns in Martineau's oeuvre. The opening essays centre on her bold self-fashioning as a writer, while the second section focuses on the domestic complexities of laissez-faire liberalism in her economic and social vision. Finally, the volume analyses her provocative writings on race, Empire and history - from Atlantic slavery to the Indian Mutiny - demonstrating the international breadth and impact of a remarkable career. ;
