The Foreign Political Press in Nineteenth-Century London
In a period of turmoil when European and international politics were in constant reshaping, immigrants and political exiles living in London set up periodicals which contributed actively to national and international political debates. Reflecting an interdisciplinary and international discussion, this book offers a rare long-term specialist perspective into the cosmopolitan and multilingual world of the foreign political press in London, with an emphasis on periodicals published in European languages. It furthers current research into political exile, the role of print culture and personal networks as intercultural agents and the dynamics of transnational political and cultural exchange in g...
The Borgias: History's Most Notorious Dynasty
The Borgias have become a byword for pride, lust, cruelty, avarice, splendour and venomous intrigue. An inspiration for many works of fiction, most famously Mario Puzo's The Godfather, they have aroused abomination and fascination in almost equal measure, while their patronage of the arts created some of the great masterpieces of the Renaissance. From the powerful, merciless Rodrigo Borgia, better known as Pope Alexander VI, to the beautiful Lucrezia and the debauched and murderous Cesare, Mary Hollingsworth's account of the dynasty's dramatic rise from its Spanish roots to the heights of Renaissance society forms a compelling tale of brutality, incest, unparalleled corruption and extortionate greed.
The Conspiracy of the Prince of Macchia & G. B. Vico
In September of 1701, events transpired in Naples that, through frequent retellings, became popularly known as “the conspiracy of the Prince of Macchia.” Rapidly gaining fame, this apparently anonymous narrative was soon incorporated by different historians in their history of the transition years between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. But who was the initial bard or narrator, the town clerk or citizen who first gave testimony of this event by creating a Latin text of the story of the Prince of Macchia? Giambattista Vico was not among the claimants to the authorship of the fabulous story that changed the future of the Kingdom of Naples. Nevertheless, four scholars across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries were themselves convinced, and managed to convince the intellectual world as well, that Vico, then a young teacher of rhetoric at the University of Naples, was indeed the source of this original Latin narration of this oft retold Neapolitan history. This book provides the original Latin text with a parallel translation, as well as historical context and analysis of both the text’s authorship history and the account itself.

O livro Poderes, cidadania, trocas culturais e socioeconômicas no Oitocentos é fruto do trabalho coletivo de pesquisa realizado por pesquisadores e pós-graduandos vinculados aos núcleos de pesquisa Centro de Estudos do Oitocentos (CEO)- UFF, NEMIC (Núcleo de Estudos de Migrações, Identidades e Cidadania) - UFF, Grupo de Pesquisa O Primeiro Reinado em revisão – UFRJ / UFF e História Econômica Quantitativa e Social (HEQUS) - UFF. Estes grupos de pesquisa, unidos ao redor da problemática traçada no Projeto Universal Poderes políticos, trocas culturais e cidadania em dois momentos (1840-1857 e 1870 a 1920), realizaram um seminário dos dias 21 a 23 de maio de 2019 para apresentar e debater os resultados das suas investigações. Nesse evento, orientandos dos pesquisadores envolvidos no projeto, e daqueles vinculados aos núcleos nominados, apresentaram suas pesquisas em desenvolvimento, naquela ocasião.
The Presidio and Militia on the Northern Frontier of New Spain: pt. 1. The Californias and Sinaloa-Sonora, 1700-1765
Acclaimed by readers and reviewers alike, the first volume of The Presidio and Militia on the Northern Frontier of New Spain was a landmark in the documentary study of seventeenth-century Spanish Colonial Mexico. Here, Charles W. Polzer and Thomas E. Sheridan bring the same incisive scholarship and careful editing to long-awaited Volume Two, covering the years 1700-1765. The two-part second volume looks at the Spanish expansion as occurring in four north-south corridors that carried the main components of social and political activity. Divided geographically, materials in this book (part 1) relate to the two westernmost corridors, while those in the projected book (part 2) will cover the cor...
