Poets, Saints and Visionaires of the Great Schism 1378 - 1417
The history of the Great Western Schism (1378-1417), the period that witnessed a dual and later tricephalic papacy divided between an Avignonese, a Roman, and later a Pisan obedience, has usually found its niche in legal and theological writing. Few historians have dwelled on issues outside the questions of political legitimacy and conciliarism. In the present volume, Renate Blumenfeld-Kosinski broadens the historiography by canvassing the mental and emotive response to this exceptional event.

Poetry and the Cromwellian Protectorate - Culture, Politics and Institutions
Poetry and the Cromwellian Protectorate asks how poetry confronted questions that were complicated by institutional practices, how poets tried to square their wider cultural sympathies with their interests in a particular parliamentary or university crisis, and how changes in institutions afforded poets critical insights into their society's problems and its place in the world. The readings in this book challenge previous representations of Protectorate culture as a phase of conservative backsliding, or pragmatic compromise, under a quasi-monarchical order.
