Queens and Power, in Medieval and Early Modern England
In Queens and Power in Medieval and Early Modern England, Carole Levin and Robert Bucholz provide a forum for the underexamined, anomalous reigns of queens in history. These regimes, primarily regarded as interruptions to the “normal” male monarchy, have been examined largely as isolated cases. This interdisciplinary study of queens throughout history examines their connections to one another, their constituents’ perceptions of them, and the fallacies of their historical reputations.
While a great deal has been written about Spain's minority populations of Jewish and Muslim origin in the late medieval and early modern periods, relatively little scholarly attention has been devoted to its gypsies. Drawing extensively on the author's archival research in Spain, The Gypsies of Early Modern Spain, 1425-1783 is the first major study in English of the first three and a half centuries in Spain of a people, its gypsies or gitanos, who, despite their elevation by Spaniards and non-Spaniards alike to culturally iconic status in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, have until now remained largely invisible to history in the English-speaking world.
Known for his tales of adventure and coming of age, Jack London's fiction, including 'The Call of the Wild', 'White Fang', 'The Sea-Wolf', and 'Martin Eden', is hailed for its naturalistic explorations and for its confrontation of notions of heroism and courage. This offering from Bloom's Modern Critical Views presents a selection of critical essays about London and his enduring works. Along with an introduction from master scholar Harold Bloom, a bibliography, a chronology, and an index make this volume perfect for students studying this author.
Kings and Vikings - Scandinavia and Europe A.D. 700 - 1100
Sawyer's book is an exploration using current research of what and who the vikings were. Far from the blood thirsty raiders of Bede and the chroniclers, or the peaceful traders of modern hopes, it shows the vikings to have mingled both activities.
