An important collection which explores the complex interrelationships between race, gender, and sex as these are conceptualised within contemporary thought.

This book considers the kinds of responsibility which modern lyric poetry takes on, or to which it makes itself subject - social, cultural, political, aesthetic and personal.

This collection brings together local case studies of Britain's history and memory of transatlantic slavery and abolition, including the role of individuals and families, regional identity narratives, sites of memory and forgetting, and the financial, architectural and social legacies of slave-ownership.

The Codex epistolarisCarolinus preserves ninety-nine letters, dated between 739 and 791 and sent by the popes to the Frankishking Charlemagne and his predecessors.

A.W.N. Pugin transformed the Gothic Revival from an architectural style into a popular movement. He decorated and furnished the Houses of Parliament, transformed church design, and strongly influenced British housing. This volume provides a fresh survey of his architectural work, the first single-volume overview to be published since 1971.

An Open Access edition of this book will be available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. In a world increasingly defined by the transnational and translingual, and by the pressures of globalization, it has become difficult to study culture as primarily a national phenomenon.

Bringing together an international group of established and emerging scholars, this volume considers the emerging field of the history of emotion and what a history of happiness in Ireland might looklike. This volume explores how the idea of happiness shaped social, literary, architectural and aesthetic aspirations across the century.

The contributors to Transnational French Studies situate this disciplinary subfield of Modern Languages in actively transnational frameworks.

Michael Mann is a formidable filmmaking personality. This book ranges not only over his films--from 1979's The Jericho Mile to 2015's Blackhat--but also over the scope of intellectual interests they exemplify to mine the commonalities, themes, and traits that may suggest the presence of an auteur.

Moshe Rosman's revolutionary approach has become a cornerstone of Polish Jewish historiography. Analytical introductions weigh their significance in the light of modern and postmodern Jewish and Polish historiography.

Harry Kumel's cult classic Daughters of Darkness (1971) is a vampire film like no other. Kat Ellinger explores the film's association with fairy tales, the Gothic and fantastic tradition, as well as delving into aspects of the legend of Countess Bathory, traditional vampire lore, and much more.

The poems in Citadel are temporal harmonies written by a composite 'I', brought together by a rupture in time as the result of ambiguous, traumatic events in the lives of two women, Juana of Castile and the poet, separated by almost five hundred years.

An illustrated explanation of the geological background to the first Industrial Revolution that originated in eighteenth-century Britain.

Introducing Tectonics, Rock Structures and Mountain Belts is written to explain the key concepts of tectonics and rock structures to students and to the interested non-specialist, especially those without a strong mathematical background. The study and understanding of geological structures has traditionally been guided by the rigorous application of mathematics and physics but, in this book, Graham Park has avoided mathematical equations altogether and has reduced the geometry to the minimum necessary. The application of plate tectonic theory has revolutionised structural geology by giving the study of rock structures a context in which they can be explained. Since the large-scale movements of the plates ultimately control smaller-scale structures, the study of tectonics is the key to understanding the latter. The reader is thus introduced to large-scale Earth structure and the theory of plate tectonics before dealing with geological structures such as faults and folds. Studies by structural geologists of the movement history of rock masses relative to each other, as revealed by the study of fault systems and shear zones, has helped to integrate rock structures with plate tectonics and this has been emphasised in the book. One of the most exciting aspects of geology is the study of the great mountain ranges, orogenic belts. The final three chapters of the book explain how knowledge of plate tectonic theory, geological structures and the processes of deformation may be employed to understand these orogenic belts. hilst excessive use of terminology is avoided, all technical terms are in a Glossary and, as with all books in this series, the text is illustrated profusely.

The Imagist Poets revises the received view of Imagism by drawing upon current re-readings of modernism in terms of gender and sexuality, cultural geography, and the idea of literary institutions and formations.

In this study, Robert Miles argues that many of the reasons for Austen's construction as an English Cultural icon are to be found in the works' formal qualities, and often in her most innovative techniques.

This book provides a clear account of the development and the scope of the sonnet form in Britain.

Pre-Romantic Poetry questions existing approaches to eighteenth- and nineteenth-century writing, and to period-based study more generally.

The book's focus is the major satires upon which Swift's literary reputation principally rests, including A Tale of a Tub, Gulliver's Travels, A Modest Proposal and the infamous scatological poems.

This study provides the first sustained consideration of Forrest-Thomson's poetry, and of the relationships between her work and that of the language writers.

Volcanoes have an endless fascination. Their eruptions are a regular reminder of the power of nature and our vulnerability to this raw geological phenomenon, however volcanic activity, and its plumbing from beneath, is an essential element of the forces that shaped and constantly reshape our planet. Dougal Jerram answers the questions: What are volcanoes? What other volcanic activity is there? How do volcanoes relate to plate tectonics and the movement of continents? What are eruptions and why do they occur? How have volcanoes affected the earths climate? Can we predict eruptions? He also describes the most notable eruptions in history and their effect. Copiously illustrated throughout Introducing Volcanology is a concise and accessible introduction to the science of hot rocks for those with an adult curiosity and for those contemplating a course of formal study. As with sister volumes, technical terms are kept to a minimum and a glossary is provided covering the whole subject from ash to zeolites.
