    Spectacle and Climatological Reckoning in English Drama

    by Denys Van Renen ...
    Series series History (R0)
    While British drama of the long eighteenth century remains largely unexamined as registering ecological fears, its visual spectacle and settings allow the audience to grasp threats to environments across the globe. In plays from 1682-1799, The Theatres of Eighteenth-Century Weather: Spectacle and Climatological Reckoning in English Drama examines how the “little world” of the theatre enables the ... Read more

    In Beyond 1776, ten humanities scholars consider the American Revolution within a global framework. The foundation of the United States was deeply enmeshed with shifting alliances and multiple actors, with politics saturated by imaginative literature, and with ostensible bilateral negotiations that were, in fact, shaped by speculation about realignments in geopolitical power. To reanimate these ... Read more

    How Cervantes Ushered in the Modern World

    by William Egginton ...
    In the early seventeenth century, a crippled, graying, almost toothless veteran of Spain's wars against the Ottoman Empire published a book. It was the story of a poor nobleman, his brain addled from reading too many books of chivalry, who deludes himself that he is a knight errant and sets off on hilarious adventures. That book, Don Quixote, went on to sell more copies than any other book beside ... Read more

    The late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are known as the Age of Enlightenment, a time of science and reason.

    by Alexandra Kess ...
    Series series St Andrews Studies in Reformation History
    One of the major challenges faced by the emergent Protestant faith was how to establish itself in a hitherto Catholic world. A key way it found to achieve this was to create a common identity through the fashioning of history, emphasising Protestantism's legitimacy and authority.

    Series series Transculturalisms, 1400-1700
    Toward the end of the fifteenth century, the Habsburg family began to rely on dynastic marriage to unite an array of territories, eventually creating an empire as had not been seen in Europe since the Romans.

  • Worship and the Parish Church in Early Modern Britain

    by Alec Ryrie ...
    The Parish Church was the primary site of religious practice throughout the early modern period. This was particularly so for the silent majority of the English population, who conformed outwardly to the successive religious upheavals of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. What such public conformity might have meant has attracted less attention - and, ironically, is sometimes less well ... Read more
