        Authorship and authority: the writings of James VI and I

        by Jane Rickard

        James VI of Scotland and I of England participated in the burgeoning literary culture of the Renaissance, not only as a monarch and patron, but as an author in his own right, publishing extensively in a number of different genres over four decades. As the first monograph devoted to James as an author, this book offers a fresh perspective on his reigns in Scotland and England, and also on the inter-relationship of authorship and authority, literature and politics in the Renaissance. Beginning with the poetry he wrote in Scotland in the 1580s, it moves through a wide range of his writings, including scriptural exegeses, political, social and theological treatises and printed speeches, concluding with his manuscript poetry of the early 1620s. The book combines extensive primary research into the preparation, material form and circulation of these varied writings, with theoretically informed consideration of the relationship between authors, texts and readers. The discussion thus explores James's responses to, and interventions in, a range of literary, political and religious debates, and reveals the development of his aims and concerns as an author.

        Hyde Park

        by James Shirley

        by Helen Ostovich, Eugene Giddens

        Hyde Park (1632) is one of the best-loved comedies of James Shirley, considered to be one of the most important Caroline dramatists. The play showcases strong female characters who excel at rebuking the outlandish courtship of various suitors. Shirley's comic setting, London's Hyde Park, offers ample opportunity for witty dialogue and sport - including foot and horse races - across three love plots. This is the first critical edition of the play, including a wide-ranging introduction and extensive commentary and textual notes. Paying special attention to the culture of Caroline London and its stage, the Revels Plays edition unpicks Shirley's politics of courtship and consent while also underlining the play's dynamics of class and power. A detailed performance history traces productions from 1632, across the Restoration to the present day, including that of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1987. A textual history of the play's first quarto determines how it was printed and what relationship Hyde Park has to other texts by Shirley from the same publishers.

        Knowledge, mediation and empire

        James Tod's journeys among the Rajputs

        by Florence D'Souza, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie

        This study of the British colonial administrator James Tod (1782-1835), who spent five years in north-western India (1818-22) collecting every conceivable type of material of historical or cultural interest on the Rajputs and the Gujaratis, gives special attention to his role as a mediator of knowledge about this little-known region of the British Empire in the early nineteenth century to British and European audiences. The book aims to illustrate that British officers did not spend all their time oppressing and inferiorising the indigenous peoples under their colonial authority, but also contributed to propagating cultural and scientific information about them, and that they did not react only negatively to the various types of human difference they encountered in the field.

        Weltstaat oder Staatenwelt?

        Für und wider die Idee einer Weltrepublik

        by James Bohman, Matthias Lutz-Bachmann, James Bohman, Matthias Lutz-Bachmann

        Die weltweite Verbreitung der liberalen Marktwirtschaft hat in Verbindung mit einer Globalisierung von Technik, Kommunikationsmitteln und Verkehr den Handlungsraum für einzelstaatliche Politik dramatisch verändert - sowohl im Inneren der Staaten als auch in ihrer Außenpolitik. Diese Entwicklungen, aber auch die zunehmenden Proteste gegen die Folgen der Globalisierung und die sich abzeichnenden weltweiten Konflikte haben die Diskussion über neue Strukturen der internationalen Politik belebt. Der Streit wird über die Frage geführt, ob die Struktur der überlieferten Staatenwelt geeignet ist, die Herausforderungen politisch und friedlich zu bewältigen, die sich aus der Globalisierung von ökonomie und Technik ergeben. Oder sollen neue, demokratische Strukturen für die internationale Politik geschaffen werden, die die Mechanismen der bisherigen Außenpolitik ersetzen? Der von den politischen Philosophen Matthias Lutz-Bachmann (Frankfurt am Main) und James Bohman (St. Louis, USA) vorgelegte Band versammelt Beiträge von Philosophen, Juristen, Politikwissenschaftlern und ökonomen zur Diskussion der aktuellen politischen Streitfrage: »Weltstaat oder Staatenwelt? Für und wider die Idee einer Weltrepublik«. Im Suhrkamp Verlag ist außerdem erschienen: Matthias Lutz-Bachmann/ James Bohman (Hg.): Frieden durch Recht. Kants Friedensidee und das Problem einer neuen Weltordnung (stw 1269).
