The Principles of Social Evolution Christopher R. Hallpike Clarendon Press ; Oxford University Press, 1987

Dispelling the general assumption that social institutions survive because of their sophisticated adaptive advantages, this ground-breaking work asserts that the commonest customs and institutions may endure because of their very simplicity or as a result of simple human proclivity. Using religious, military, and kinship institutions to illustrate this argument, the author shows that a precise combination of these factors may lead to the emergence of new forms of social evolution.

A Protestant legacy : attitudes to death and illness among older Aberdonians Williams, Rory Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1990

This thorough and perceptive study shows how economic history and religious tradition can combine to shape the life and thought of a community. Focusing on the members of the older generation in Aberdeen, Scotland, Williams explores the ways Aberdonians face illness and death, how they draw on themes from their working history and Protestant background, and how they balance the pressures of physical decline with the expectations of society.

The Making Of An Industrial Society: Whickham, 1560-1765 (oxford Studies In Social History) David Levine and Keith Wrightson Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford studies in social history, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1991

This is the first intensive study of an industrial community in early modern England. Levine and Wrightson employ the latest techniques of socio-historical research and make full use of a wide variety of contemporary sources to explore many aspects of life in Whickham between 1560 and 1765. They bring together vital strands—including industrial development, agrarian change, social stratification, demography, religion, work, leisure, living standards, kinship and the family—to produce a rounded and vivid picture, which throws into relief the achievements, benefits, and costs of the complex process of industrialization. The development of Whickham is set in the larger context of socio-economic change during this period.

Religious change in Europe, 1650-1914 : essays for John McManners Nigel Aston; John McManners Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1997

x, 450 pages, 1 unnumbered leaf of plates : 24 cm "The focus of this collection is the nature of religious change over more than two centuries, here examined by some of the leading scholars in the field, in tribute to John McManners on his eightieth birthday. Ranging across Europe (with a particular emphasis on France and Britain), readers will find essays which survey individual responses to crises in the religious life of the state, discuss contacts between communions, note changing patterns of worship and devotions, and explore the ways in which religion (and the lessons of the past) can offer help or consolation in the conduct of life. Some contributors deal with the close, often tense, links between religion, churchmen, and the formation and evolving character of the state; others consider the survival and adaptability of minority groups such as eighteenth-century monks, or British Jews, in response to external considerations. In all the contributions, the interaction of private and public life is a strong feature, a reflection of its importance in Professor McManners' own writings."--Jacket Includes bibliographical references and index Introduction: John McManners, man and historian / Nigel Ashton. -- The science of sin: Jacques de Sainte-Beuve and his Cas de conscience / Robin Briggs. -- John Dury and the practice of Irenicism / Scott Mandelbrote. -- An Irish opportunist in Paris: Dr Piers de Girardin / Jacques M.

The advent of television, opinion polls, and campaign consultants has transformed thembut what some see as the "Americanization" of electioneering has happened very differently in different countries. In this book, acknowledged local experts explore how far elections have been "Americanized" in ten countries or regions, including the United States, Britain, Japan, and Latin America. Their essays shed light on the diversity of how democratic choice is made. They also discuss campaigning methods and whether the increasingly sophisticated techniques used by politicians to win votes actually make their campaigns more effective.

ix, 273 pages : 23 cm This book combines a systematic empirical investigation into the characteristics of business cycles with a review of general theories of their patterns and dynamics. The authors have provided two empirical studies, using Swedish data for which unusually long data series are available. Both the empirical studies show how to analyse business cycles and to interpret them in the light of one well-established theoretical framework. The book's theoretical paper introduces readers to a different theoretical approach. The authors argue for the role played by shocks and by expectations in creating and exacerbating business cycles. As well as providing an overview of recent work in business cycle research, the book also shows how analytical techniques can be applied to historical data; it thus makes a substantial theoretical and applied contribution to the literature Includes bibliographical references (pages 263-265) and index Volume in 3 parts : pt. 1.

Dunbar the "makar." Bawcutt, Priscilla J. Oxford University Press : Clarendon Press, Oxford University Press USA, Oxford [England], 1992

William Dunbar is a poet whose virtuosity is often praised, but rarely analyzed. This first major study of his work to be published in over ten years examines his view of himself as a major poet, or "makar," and the way he handles various poetic genres. It challenges the over-simplified and reductive views purveyed by some critics, that Dunbar is primarily a moralist or no more than a talented virtuoso. New emphasis is placed on the petitions, or begging-poems, and their use for poetic introspection. There is also a particularly full study of Dunbar's under-valued comic poems, and of the modes most congenial to him--notably parody, irony, "flyting" or invective, and black dream-fantasy. Taking account of recent scholarship, Priscilla Bawcutt explores the complex literary traditions available to Dunbar, both in Latin and the vernaculars, including "popular" and alliterative poetry as well as that of Chaucer and his followers. This original, learned, and critically searching book is set to become the leading analysis of one of the most fascinating and accomplished of medieval poets.

Art and embodiment : from aesthetics to self-consciousness Paul Crowther; Professor of Philosophy and the Visual Arts Paul Crowther Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1993

In his Critical Aesthetics and Postmodernism, Paul Crowther argued that art and aesthetic experiences have the capacity to humanize. In Art and Embodiment he develops this theme in much greater depth, arguing that art can bridge the gap between philosophy's traditional striving for generality and completeness, and the concreteness and contingency of humanity's basic relation to the world. As the key element in his theory, he proposes an ecological definition of art. His strategy involves first mapping out and analyzing the logical boundaries and ontological structures of the aesthetic domain. He then considers key concepts from this analysis in the light of a tradition in Continental philosophy (notably the work of Kant, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Hegel) whichby virtue of the philosophical significance that it assigns to artsignificantly anticipates the ecological conception. On this basis, Crowther is able to give a full formulation of his ecological definition. Art, in making sensible or imaginative material into symbolic form, harmonizes and conserves what is unique and what is general in human experience. The aesthetic domain answers basic needs intrinsic to self-consciousness itself, and art is the highest realization of such needs. In the creation and reception of art the embodied subject is fully at home with his or her environment.

Metamorphosis In Greek Myths (oxford Classical Monographs) P. M. C. Forbes Irving Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford classical monographs, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1990

The transformation of people into animals, plants, and stones is one of the most common and characteristic themes of Greek mythology, embodying as well some of the most mysterious and fantastic episodes in a mythology that is sometimes considered to be relatively realistic and lacking in fantasy. This book, the first study of these myths in English, analyzes the various ways in which they imagine and explore the experience of changing one's form. Irving's unusual approach is to look for their meaning not in long-forgotten rituals or historical events, but in their imaginative appeal as stories.

Rice Science And Development Politics: Research Strategies And Irri's Technologies Confront Asian Diversity (1950-1980) Robert S. Anderson, Edwin Levy, and Barrie M. Morrison Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1991

In 1960, the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) opened near Manila in the Philippines. It's goal was to help solve world food problems in such a way that the foundations' economic and political concerns about Asia would be allayed. This book is about IRRI's planning and development, the efforts to persuade Asian governments to try to increase food production by following IRRI's advice and the interplay of IRRI's technology, rice scientists, and national research strategies. Focusing on conditions in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, this study testifies to the necessity that the fundamental diversity of rice agriculture should be the organizing principle for an adequate research strategy and shows how strategies which are based on other organizing principles have met continuous difficulties and have ultimately been revised or abandoned. This book will be of particular interest to development and agricultural economists and sociologists.

Motives of woe : Shakespeare and 'female complaint' : a critical anthology edited by John Kerrigan Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford [England], New York, England, November 28, 1991

This anthology recovers a tradition of writing to which some of the greatest medieval and Renaissance poets—women as well as men—contributed. Centering on Shakespeare's neglected A Lovers Complaint, it includes "female"-voiced lyrics, chronicle poems and fictional letters by a range of authors from Chaucer to Aphra Behn and Henry Carey. In his scholarly introduction, Kerrigan outlines the development of 'female complaint', indicates how cultural pressure shaped it, and argues that the time is ripe for a reevaluation of this literary kind. Shedding new light on Shakespeare and the conventions of historical, pastoral and epistolary discourse, Motives of Woe will be of interest to scholars of medieval and early modern studies, as well as to general readers.

Roland Barthes : the figures of writing Andrew Brown, (Literary translator) Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1992

The first serious analysis of Barthes as a writer with specific aesthetic techniques, this fresh and original study focuses on some of the ways he discusses the nature of his own writing. The first two chapters examine the key but ambiguous term of "derive" ("drift"), a word which raises questions about how exactly Barthes's writing develops across three decades, about the "scientific" legitimacy of his concepts, and about his own frequently fraught relation to the scientific discourses around him, especially psychoanalysis. Two typical discursive maneuvers that structure his writing, "naming" and "framing," are then shown to generate particular aesthetic effects which cause complications for some of his theoretical stances. Barthes's fascination for the idea that all writing is a kind of scribble, closer to the visual arts than to speech, is investigated in depth, and his latent animosity against speech as such is made manifest. The final chapter suggests that, for Barthes, "the real" can leave its mark on writing only as a disturbing, indeed traumatic trace.

The shaky handwriting of the thirteenth-century scribe known as the "tremulous hand of Worcester" is well known to scholars and students of Old and early Middle English. This book examines the full range of the scribe's work and answers such important questions as why he glossed the words he did and how well he knew or came to know Old English. This first full-scale study of the subject provides a wealth of information about the state of the English language at a transitional point in its history.

Virginia Woolf and the Literature of the English Renaissance Fox, Alice, -1988 Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1990

This book represents the confluence of two significant elements of English a major critic and novelist of the 20th century and the period of greatest literary glory. The work of Virginia Woolf whose novels changed the face of 20th century fiction is set beside the output which began with the poems and plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries and ended with the great lyric poets of the 17th century. Using letters, diaries, reading-notes, drafts of essays and novels, the author considers Virginia Woolf's varied reactions to the English Renaissance and assesses their impact on her fiction and criticism. Each of the novels is shown to integrate some elements of Renaissance literature in its language, characterization and structure.

Louis MacNeice: The Poet in his Contexts (Oxford English Monographs) McDonald, Peter, 1962- Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford English monographs, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1991

Since his death in 1963, Louis MacNeice's critical standing has risen steadily. This new study addresses the contexts of his writing that are of greatest relevance to his place in modern poetry: his problematic relation to Ireland and his place in the largely English "thirties generation" with which he is often identified. The influence of these aspects on MacNeice's poetic development is studied in detail, addressing his relation to Yeats and Modernism and his conception of parable as a key imaginative response to these influences. Included also is the first study of the poet's revealing and little-known early writings. Arguing that MacNeice is a central figure in modern Irish and British poetry, this work sheds new light on the poems.

A New View of Economic Growth Maurice FitzGerald Scott Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford University Press USA, Oxford, 1989

This book presents a major new theory of economic growth. Orthodox theories explain both the level and growth of output by three main variables: employment, the capital stock, and technical progress. The new theory does not attempt to explain the level of output, only its change over a given period, and so is more historical. The capital stock is not of central interest, and there is no separate rate of technical progress. The two main explanatory variables are the growth of employment and the rate of investment. As well as demolishing existing orthodox theories, the book demonstrates that the new theory can be used to explain why growth rates differ between different countries (mainly the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom) and periods, and why the shares of profits and wages differ. Verdoon's and Fabricant's Laws relating to productivity growth in different industries; taxation; optimum growth; and the productivity slow-down after 1973 are also discussed.

This book describes Athenian attempts to cope with the contradictions in the character of Theseus and discusses Theseus in tragedy in the context of fifth-century Athenian culture. Every nation needs role models: the Athenians were no exception. Handsome, brave, intelligent, and just, Theseus seemed the perfect Athenian but under this exterior lay a heartless seducer, rapist, and killer of his own son.

x, 307 pages ; 23 cm This book is the first major and exclusive study of the Christian idea of salvation as seen through the eyes of five sixteenth century English reformers: John Frith, John Hooper, Robert Barnes, John Bradford, and the famous Bible translator, William Tyndale The author sets their views in context, both historically and intellectually, before engaging in a detailed and clear examination of all the relevant aspects of their thought, from election and justification to the relationship between sacraments and salvation. The picture that emerges reveals not only the extensive impact of continental thought upon English reformation theology, but also the manner in which the writings of men such as Luther, Melanchthon, Bullinger, and Bucer were used (often selectively and sometimes surprisingly) by the English reformers to support their own distinctive concerns It also becomes clear that by 1556, English Protestantism, even at its highest level, had already experienced serious doctrinal tensions concerning the nature of salvation, tensions which were a dark omen of future controversies Revision of thesis (doctoral)--University of Aberdeen, 1991 Includes bibliographical references (p.

Discarding images : reflections on music and culture in medieval France Page, Christopher , 1952- Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1993

For many centuries, the Western imagination has pictured the medieval period as a kind of odyssey: a journey that took humankind to a strange country and ended in the Renaissance with its homecoming and the restoration of its inheritance. In this stimulating and provocative book, Christopher Page, Director of the acclaimed early music vocal group Gothic Voices, explores the kinds of generalizations that we habitually make about "the Middle Ages" and which, whether we know it or not, sustain the false image of a medieval odyssey. In chapters that proceed chronologically from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century, he examines what we suppose to be the serenity of medieval reflection on such matters as the "numerical" explanation of musical beauty, and he questions the modern tendency to regard Ars antiqua motets as music for "an intellectual elite." Turning to the Ars Nova and beyond, he discusses the relation between fourteenth century innovations and contemporary science. A final chapter explores the powerful influence of Johan Huizinga's classic The Waning of the Middle Ages upon musicology. Page's lively prose is full of provocative ideas, and is enriched by an uncommonly deep experience of medieval music.

This is a study of the extraordinary political career of Prince Adam Czartoryski, a Polish patriot who rose to become foreign minister of the Russian Empire under Tsar Alexander I. A controversial figure in the history of both Poland and Russia, Czartoryski played a leading role in the struggle against Napoleon Bonaparte and was instrumental in the establishment of a Polish state at the Congress of Vienna. W. H. Zawadzki's scholarly and perceptive account, based on intensive research, explores the personal, political, ideological, and economic bases of Czartoryski's long association with Russia. He assesses his role in international relations during the Napoleonic era, and examines his contribution to the cause of enlightened reform. Czartoryski emerges as an intellectualizing statesman, a committed opponent of Napoleonic imperialism, an advocate of a new European order based on nationality and liberal constitutionalism, and an early exponent of Pan-Slavism. A Man of Honour sets Czartoryski in his context as a major figure in the political history of early nineteenth-century Europe and deepens our understanding of the complex elements at work in the emergence of modern Poland.
