Bridgerton meets Virginia Woolf in this artfully entertaining romp! Crawford Manor once stood as the nexus of elite society. But now silence and ache consume the halls. Horatio Crawford and his family live very separate lives. So Horatio reignites the summer social season. He strives to reclaim glory. But youth rebels with romance. And enemies scheme. Can he uncover the secrets before his family falls to scandal? Diverse romances. Adventurously lyrical prose. Crawford’s Affair celebrates the comedy of manners with off-beat humor and a nod to Mrs. Dalloway.
It is 732 AD, twenty years after Duke Odo usurped Aquitaine, a territory in Gaul stretching from the border of Spain to almost Paris. Now as his eighth decade of life quickly approaches, he has come to Paris to meet with the bastard Frankish mayor, Charles Martel, to discuss the possibility of a war against Muslims invading from Spain.

Thirty-six years after the Battle of Tours, Martel’s son, Pepin, has gained a reputation as an equally effective ruler, but without the major triumphs. Two days befor...
Religion did much to shape contemporary British opinion and behaviour during the First and Second World Wars, but it featured rather less in the initial historiography of either conflict.

This volume is the first to offer an in-depth listing of modern literature, in English and other European languages, on Britis...

Charlemagne's Early Campaigns is the first book-length study of Charlemagne at war. The neglect of this subject has truncated our understanding of the Carolingian empire and the military success of its leader, a true equal of Frederick the Great and Napoleon.

Drawing on a broad concept of desire, informed by poststructuralist theorists this book examines the range of Hardy's work. It demonstrates the sustained nature of his thinking about desire, its relationship to the social and symbolic network in which human subjectivity is constituted and art's potential to offer fulfilment to the desiring subject.
