Przez prawie dwadzieścia lat nauczałem historii w szkołach, głównie liceach. Przez cały ten okres śledziłem rozwój tej nauki, poznawałem nowe, dotyczące kolejnych zagadnień, prace. Dopiero jednak pisząc tę książkę dostrzegłem jak wielką potęgą jest Internet. To dzięki niemu zyskujemy znacznie szybszy niż wcześniej dostęp do najnowszych badań, to na jego forach miliony ludzi dokonuje analizy poprzednich badań, pojawiają się nowe hipotezy. Dziś napisanie dziejów świata możliwe jest właściwie tylko przez wieloosobowe zespoły, specjalistów od różnych epok i regionów. Taką świadomość miał zresztą już w latach dwudziestych XX wieku Herbert George Well...

Buying and Selling explores the many facets of the business of books across and beyond Europe, adopting the viewpoints of printers, publishers, booksellers, and readers. Essays by twenty-five scholars from a range of disciplines seek to reconstruct the dynamics of the trade through a variety of sources. Through the combined investigation of printed output, documentary evidence, provenance research, and epistolary networks, this volume trails the evolving relationship between readers and the book trade. In the resulting picture of failure and success, balanced precariously between debt-economies, sale strategies and uncertain profit, customers stand out as the real winners.

Publishing Subversive Texts in Elizabeth England and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth offers recent research in book history by analysing the impact of early modern censorship on book circulation and information exchange in Elizabethan England and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. In fourteen articles, the various aspects of early modern subversive publishing and impact of censorship on the intellectual and cultural exchange in both England and Poland-Lithuania are thoroughly discussed. The book is divided into three main parts. In the first part, the presence and impact of British recusants in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth are discussed. Part two deals with subversive publishing and its role on the intellectual culture of the Elizabethan Settlement. Part three deals with the impact of national censorship laws on book circulation to the Continent.

Print and Power in Early Modern Europe (1500–1800)

  • Publisher: BRILL

Print, in the early modern period, could make or break power. This volume addresses one of the most urgent and topical questions in early modern history: how did European authorities use a new medium with such tremendous potential? The eighteen contributors develop new perspectives on the relationship between the rise of print and the changing relationships between subjects and rulers by analysing print’s role in early modern bureaucracy, the techniques of printed propaganda, genres, and strategies of state communication. While print is often still thought of as an emancipating and disruptive force of change in early modern societies, the resulting picture shows how instrumental print was in strengthening existing power structures. Contributors: Renaud Adam, Martin Christ, Jamie Cumby, Arthur der Weduwen, Nora Epstein, Andreas Golob, Helmer Helmers, Jan Hillgärtner, Rindert Jagersma, Justyna Kiliańczyk-Zięba, Nina Lamal, Margaret Meserve, Rachel Midura, Gautier Mingous, Ernesto E. Oyarbide Magaña, Caren Reimann, Chelsea Reutchke, Celyn David Richards, Paolo Sachet, Forrest Strickland, and Ramon Voges.

Ponad dziesięć lat temu czytając po raz kolejny książkę Herberta George’a Wellsa „Dzieje świata”, podjąłem plan napisania podobnego dzieła, uwzględniając postęp w zakresie poznania historii (tak jako dziejów, jak też i pojmowanej jako nauka). Sądziłem wówczas, że będzie to zadanie możliwe do zrealizowania, choć będąc historykiem wiedziałem przecież, że od czasu gdy powstała praca tego brytyjskiego pisarza nasza wiedza znacznie wzrosła. Próba napisania dziejów świata była swego rodzaju konsekwencją moich rozważań, które wyraziłem już pod koniec XX wieku w pracy „Dostrzec sens dziejów”, w której w sposób zdecydowany odrzuciłem marksistowską...

The Oxford Handbook of the Jesuits

Through its missionary, pedagogical, and scientific accomplishments, the Society of Jesus-known as the Jesuits-became one of the first institutions with a truly "global" reach, in practice and intention. The Oxford Handbook of the Jesuits offers a critical assessment of the Order, helping to chart new directions for research at a time when there is renewed interest in Jesuit studies. In particular, the Handbook examines their resilient dynamism and innovative spirit, grounded in Catholic theology and Christian spirituality, but also profoundly rooted in society and cultural institutions. It also explores Jesuit contributions to education, the arts, politics, and theology, among others. The v...
