Marian Devotions, Political Mobilization, and Nationalism in Europe and America
This volume examines the changing role of Marian devotion in politics, public life, and popular culture in Western Europe and America during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The book brings together, for the first time, studies on Marian devotions across the Atlantic, tracing their role as a rallying point to fight secularization, adversarial ideologies, and rival religions. This transnational approach illuminates the deep transformations of devotional cultures across the world. Catholics adopted modern means and new types of religious expression to foster mass devotions that epitomized the catholic essence of the “nation.” In many ways, the development of Marian devotions across the world is also a response to the questioning of Pope Sovereignty. These devotional transformations followed an Ultramontane pattern inspired not only by Rome but also by other successful models approved by the Vatican such as Lourdes. Collectively, they shed new light on the process of globalization and centralization of Catholicism.

Ceremonial Entries, Municipal Liberties and the Negotiation of Power in Valois France, 1328-1589
In a fresh examination of the French ceremonial entry, Neil Murphy considers the role these events played in the negotiation between urban elites and the Valois monarchy for rights and liberties. Moving away from the customary focus on the pageantry, this book focuses on how urban governments used these ceremonies to offer the ruler (or his representatives) petitions regarding their rights, liberties and customs. Drawing on extensive research, he shows that ceremonial entries lay at the heart of how the state functioned in later medieval and Renaissance France.

The Black Prince
One of the most charismatic and enigmatic personalities of the High Middle Ages, Edward the ' Black Prince' commanded an English division at the battle of Crecy when just sixteen years old. But despite his battlefield exploits, romantic reputation and popularity among the people, Edward has become notorious as a proponent of 'scorched earth' campaigns, or chevauchee. These expeditions amounted to little more than the licensed plunder of undefended towns and the murder of non-combatants. The premature death of Edward saw his infant son ascend to the throne and led, eventually, to the fracticidal chaos of the Wars of the Roses and the emergence of the Tudor dynasty. In this startling reappraisal of the prince's life, David Green assesses his actions in their historical context and examines what might have been had Edward the Black Prince become King Edward IV.
Hautefage
... La tombe parle, entre les pages qui suivent. C'est grande chance qu'elle se nomme Hautefage. De la morte, nous saurons ceci, ou bien nous nous en souviendrons si nous l'avons connue, comme du rouge d'une étoffe au profond d'un tableau, ou comme une démarche creusée, elle aussi, par la menace et par la connaissance - et pourtant tellement altière, après une fête, au cœur d'une ville ancienne très accordée à sa noblesse : elle habitait les lieux autrement. Elle habite autrement, en effet, ce lieu si prenant, Hautefage, un village qui d'abord n'a que peu d'apparence, lorsqu'on l'aborde par le plateau, et qui se révèle un des plus beaux qui soient, dès lors que l'on s'enfonce entre les plis du relief, au pied de la magnifique tour, vers ce vallon délicieux. Elle habite autrement la mort, puisque sa tombe est une source, celle des méditations qu'on va lire, et de ces chants.
God's Eugenicist
The temptations of a new genetically informed eugenics and of a revived faith-based, world-wide political stance, this study of the interaction of science, religion, politics and the culture of celebrity in twentieth-century Europe and America offers a fascinating and important contribution to the history of this movement. The author looks at the career of French-born physician and Nobel Prize winner, Alexis Carrel (1873-1944), as a way of understanding the popularization of eugenics through religious faith, scientific expertise, cultural despair and right-wing politics in the 1930s and 1940s. Carrel was among the most prestigious experimental surgeons of his time who also held deeply illibe...
