The Union, the Confederacy, and the Atlantic Rim
The Civil War is usually regarded as a purely domestic struggle. The essays in The Union, the Confederacy, and the Atlantic Rim demonstrate that the conflict was an international event that affected, and was affected by, the policies of many countries. These four prize-winning historians reconsider why the Confederacy never received the foreign aid that it counted on and trace the war's impact upon European and Latin nations and dependencies. They provide fresh perspectives regarding Britain's refusal to recognize the Confederacy, the role abroad of pro-Union African American lecturers, French emperor Napoleon III's intervention in Mexico, and the Civil War's meaning to peoples all over the world.

Discourses on Nations and Identities
The third volume of the collected papers of the ICLA congress "The Many Languages of Comparative Literature" includes contributions that focus on the interplay between concepts of nation, national languages, and individual as well as collective identities. Because all literary communication happens within different kinds of power structures - linguistic, economic, political -, it often results in fascinating forms of hybridity. In the first of four thematic chapters, the papers investigate some of the ways in which discourses can establish modes of thinking, or how discourses are in turn controlled by active linguistic interventions, whether in the context of the patriarchy, war, colonialism...
The Dialogue in Hell between Machiavelli and Montesquieu
The Dialogue in Hell between Montesquieu and Machiavelli is the source of the world's most infamous literary forgery, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. John Waggoner's superb translation of and commentary on Joly's Dialogue—the first faithful translation in English—seeks not only to update the sordid legacy of the Protocols but to redeem Joly's original work for serious study in its own right, rather than through the lens of antisemitism. Waggoner's work vindicates a man who was neither an antisemite nor a supporter of the kind of tyrannical politics the Protocols subsequently served and presents Maurice Joly, once much maligned and too long ignored, as one of the nineteenth century's foremost political thinkers.
