  • Summary

    Chapter 1 assesses the evidence beyond the charter corpus for literary activity in Kent, Mercia and Wessex in the mid-ninth century. This evidence comprises five categories: surviving manuscripts with contemporary English provenances, letters, inscribed objects, the events of the 850s, and Asser’s account of King Alfred’s childhood engagement with books. The importance of understanding survival patterns and the nature of the evidence is stressed, particularly because attempts were rarely made to preserve letters for posterity, and because different ways of engaging with books and inscribed objects generated varyingly large fingerprints for twenty-first-century eyes. Asser’s famous account, furthermore, needs to be approached with caution, though it does in several ways align with the impression of literary activity that one gets from mid-ninth-century sources. A good deal remains unknown about many of the contexts in which literary activity took place, but it is nonetheless clear that the written word was conspicuous in many mid-ninth-century social settings, despite the likelihood that in some contexts resources for new literary productions were limited. Much of this literary culture was fundamentally social, and it was often inspired by international exchange.

  • The archive of Romantic studies is every day expanding far beyond its Anglo-European confines, incorporating an ever-volatile constellation of works that, like World Literature, understands itself not in any monolithically Western sense but instead as a rhizomatic, polycentric expansion of temporalities, histories, and cultures. Here, a diverse cast of expert scholars reflect on how key concepts in Romantic literary and philosophical writings – periodicity, revolution, empire and settler culture, modernity, abolition, and the problem of language – inspire World Literature's conception of its own methodologies and texts. Covering writers ranging from Lord Byron, Immanuel Kant, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, and John Clare to Simon Bolivar, Hérard Dumesle, Hafez, Rabindranath Tagore, and Ocean Vuong, this collection showcases how the fields of Romanticism and World Literature interact in ways that create new horizons for the study of planetary culture.

  • No city occupies as many paradoxical positions in the popular imagination as Los Angeles. It is the new frontier and the end of the trail; it is American Eden and Babylon by the Pacific; it is by turns celebrated and condemned for its diversity; it is the city of perpetual renewal and the city of imminent apocalypse. This collection reveals LA in all its contradictions by documenting a literary tradition as kaleidoscopic and cacophonous as the city itself. The writings explored by Los Angeles: A Literary History record how a dusty cow town morphed into a global metropolis within a matter of decades, and how this unprecedented transformation came to define the experience of modernity. Los Angeles's literature has long gone underappreciated, the city's culture dismissed as flat and frivolous: this volume upturns that narrative, reshaping American literary history by resituating LA as its beating heart.

  • Positioned at the crossroads of global and military history, this volume makes a major contribution to the cultural and social history of war and its aftermath. Bruno Cabanes and Cameron Givens bring together a team of leading experts to reassess the two world wars, connecting time periods, topics, and spaces traditionally treated in isolation. They examine how these armed conflicts engendered new confrontations and encounters; forged and severed transnational networks and pathways; propelled people, ideas, knowledge, and practices across and within political boundaries; and triggered complex and contested memory-making. By rethinking the relationship between military and global history, the authors encourage readers to consider the broader impact of war on twentieth-century history, from international law and humanitarianism, to race and the environment. This ambitious reframing showcases the most innovative efforts to globalize the history of the world wars and provides fertile ground for future research.

  • The Roman world was a rural world. Most of the Roman population lived in the countryside and had their immediate rural surroundings as their social and economic frame of reference. For much of the Roman period, rural property provided the basis for political power and urban development, and it was in rural areas that the agricultural crops that sustained an expanding empire were grown and many of the most important Roman industries were situated. Rural areas witnessed the presence of some of the most durable symbols of Roman imperial hegemony, such as aqueducts and paved roads. It was mainly here that native and Roman traditions collided and were negotiated. This volume, containing 30 chapters by leading scholars, leverages recent methodological advancements and new interpretative frameworks to provide a holistic view, with an empire-wide reach, of the importance of Roman rural areas in the success of ancient Rome.

The French Revolution

  • Three questions have usually been asked about the French Revolution: why did it happen? why was it so violent? and what was its legacy? These questions seem to beg other, more conceptually ambitious queries about causation, violence or legacies. This book aims to answer both sets of questions by bringing together events and ideas. Michael Sonenscher draws on neglected aspects of eighteenth-century intellectual and political life and thought to demonstrate the importance of ideas for making connections between historical explanation and historical narrative. Concisely synthesizing a broad range of established scholarship, Sonenscher utilises new and fresh information to explore why using ideas as evidence adds a dimension of novelty, possibility, expectation and choice to the social, cultural and political history of the French Revolution.This is history about what was expected, but did not happen, and what was unexpected, but really did.

  • Stillbirth, especially unpredicted losses in the antepartum period defined as intrauterine fetal demise after twenty weeks gestation, remains sadly a too common event during pregnancy. Dr. Gandhi and Professor Reddy detail the epidemiology and review the impact of proactive interventions both in preparation for and during pregnancy to lower stillbirth rates. The clinical management of a pregnancy affected by this tragedy. The authors address a growing understanding of causes seen clinically and those unseen (e.g. genetic abnormalities, viral infection, fetal hypoxia in a normally grown fetus, etc). The detailed approach to stillbirth during the index pregnancy seeks to maximize the discovery of the underlying causes to provide solace to the grieving family and to prepare for any additions to prenatal care for any subsequent pregnancies.

Half a Century of Supergravity

  • This volume gathers the contributions of founders, experts, and practitioners of supergravity celebrating the 50th anniversary of its birth, discussing the history of the field and its modern applications to high-energy physics, mathematics, particle physics, and cosmology. Since its discovery in the mid-1970s, fully understanding its symmetries and structures, the physical implications, permitted generalizations, and the connections with other theories have been highly nontrivial challenges. Whether supergravity will be proven true by experiments or will remain a mathematical framework, the theory is elegant, intriguing, rich, and entertaining. Many agree that it will continue to be an inspiration and theoretical laboratory for quantum gravity, as well as an intellectual achievement that expresses the highest levels of human creativity in our effort to understand the cosmos and its rules. Current and future practitioners, and historians of science, will value both the comprehensive history and future perspectives of the field within.

  • In the vital traditions of women of color feminisms, queer of color critique, and aligned projects disidentified from majoritarian worlds, this Element focuses attention on how we continue to work in and with the attenuating conditions of academic life.There is, it suggests, hope to be found, nurtured, and elicited amid the difficulties of the present. This Element does not romanticize or assign nobility or moral purpose to teaching or to scholarly life more broadly. Rather, it elaborates an understanding of teaching as a name for how we go about building collectivities, sensibilities, and social formations organized by and around mutuality, reciprocity, and solidarity. This Element remembers the classroom to be any space dedicated to the work of collectively thinking hard, and one in which we rehearse the forms of relation, social being, and collegiality we wish to proliferate.

Debating Papal Government, 1305–1635

  • Drawing connections between the medieval and early modern papacy, this study give vivid examples of its reactive rather than proactive character. D. L. d'Avray identifies unobvious continuities and challenges temporal divides, tracing themes that cut through the conventional periodisation. Using fresh translations and transcriptions of sources from Roman archives, alongside key passages from medieval canon law commentaries, the book defends the central thesis that papal government was predominantly 'responsive' and papal authority was not imposed from the top but emerged through a series of appeals and responses. D'Avray focuses on religious governance, rather than on the secular aspects of papal power, so the book challenges an exaggerated emphasis on the papal states. Offering a sequel to Debating Papal History, c. 250–c. 1300, this volume presents a different way of thinking about papal history over a long period.

  • This volume contains eight survey articles by the invited speakers of the 31st British Combinatorial Conference, held at Cardiff University in July 2026. Each article provides an overview of recent developments in a current hot research topic in combinatorics. Topics covered include random planar graphs, temporal graphs, domino tilings, extremal poset theory, asymptotic enumeration, graph homomorphisms, combinatorial rigidity theory, logic and model theory, matroids, and graph bootstrap percolation. The authors are among the world's foremost researchers on their respective topics, but their surveys are accessible to nonspecialist readers: they are written clearly, with little prior knowledge assumed, and with pointers to the wider literature. Taken together, these surveys give a snapshot of the research frontier in contemporary combinatorics, helping researchers and graduate students in mathematics and theoretical computer science to keep abreast of the latest developments in the field.

  • Argues that hegemonic Western cultural and military strategies have moved away from 'saving' women to 'empowering' girls, and traces the rise to dominance of the figure of the agential girl, analyzing how she has been incorporated into decision-making, securitizing, and policing operations as both a surveillance tool and a social justice goal.
