The Roman History:

Scandal
Are sex scandals simply trivial distractions from serious issues or can they help democratize politics? In 1820, George IV's "royal gambols" with his mistresses endangered the Old Oak of the constitution. When he tried to divorce Queen Caroline for adultery, the resulting scandal enabled activists to overcome state censorship and revitalize reform. Looking at six major British scandals between 1763 and 1820, this book demonstrates that scandals brought people into politics because they evoked familiar stories of sex and betrayal. In vibrant prose woven with vivid character sketches and illustrations, Anna Clark explains that activists used these stories to illustrate constitutional issues co...

The Roman History
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. Rich in titles on English life and social history, this collection spans the world as it was known to eighteenth-centur...
I libri indiani di Nicolò Manucci (1638-1720)
Nell’avventurosa vita del veneziano Nicolò Manucci (1638-1720), trascorsa quasi per intero in India, ha un posto di assoluto rilievo il suo grandioso progetto della Storia del Mogol. Opera sterminata e sfortunata, ritratto vivissimo dell’India del tempo, frutto delle esperienze accumulate durante tutta un’esistenza e degli apporti più disparati, intorno alla sua mancata pubblicazione si mosse tra l’India, Parigi e Venezia una folla internazionale di personaggi a vario titolo coinvolti in quella vicenda. Questo Quaderno ripercorre la movimentata storia dei fatti che condussero la Storia del Mogol dal primo tentativo di pubblicazione fino alla dispersione delle sue varie parti nelle biblioteche europee.
Imperial Republics
Republicanism and imperialism are typically understood to be located at opposite ends of the political spectrum. In Imperial Republics, Edward G. Andrew challenges the supposed incompatibility of these theories with regard to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century revolutions in England, the United States, and France. Many scholars have noted the influence of the Roman state on the ideology of republican revolutionaries, especially in the model it provided for transforming subordinate subjects into autonomous citizens. Andrew finds an equally important parallel between Rome's expansionary dynamic in contrast to that of Athens, Sparta, or Carthage and the imperial rivalries that emerged between the United States, France, and England in the age of revolutions. Imperial Republics is a sophisticated, wide-ranging examination of the intellectual origins of republican movements, and explains why revolutionaries felt the need to 'don the toga' in laying the foundation for their own uprisings.
