Download or read book Reformation Resistance and Reason of State 1517 1625 written by Sarah Mortimer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-16 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period 1517-1625 was crucial for the development of political thought. During this time of expanding empires, religious upheaval, and social change, new ideas about the organisation and purpose of human communities began to be debated. In particular, there was a concern to understand the political or civil community as bounded, limited in geographical terms and with its own particular structures, characteristics and history. There was also a growing focus, in the wake of the Reformation, on civil or political authority as distinct from the church or religious authority. The concept of sovereignty began to be used, alongside a new language of reason of state—in response, political theories based upon religion gained traction, especially arguments for the divine right of kings. In this volume Sarah Mortimer highlights how, in the midst of these developments, the language of natural law became increasingly important as a means of legitimising political power, opening up scope for religious toleration. Drawing on a wide range of sources from Europe and beyond, Sarah Mortimer offers a new reading of early modern political thought. She makes connections between Christian Europe and the Muslim societies that lay to its south and east, showing the extent to which concerns about the legitimacy of political power were shared. Mortimer demonstrates that the history of political thought can both benefit from, and remain distinctive within, the wider field of intellectual history. The books in The Oxford History of Political Thought series provide an authoritative overview of the political thought of a particular era. They synthesize and expand major developments in scholarship, covering canonical thinkers while placing them in a context of broader traditions, movements, and debates. The history of political thought has been transformed over the last thirty to forty years. Historians still return to the constant landmarks of writers such as Plato, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Rousseau, and Marx; but they have roamed more widely and often thereby cast new light on these authors. They increasingly recognize the importance of archival research, a breadth of sources, contextualization, and historiographical debate. Much of the resulting scholarship has appeared in specialist journals and monographs. The Oxford History of Political Thought makes its profound insights available to a wider audience. Series Editor: Mark Bevir, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Center for British Studies, University of California, Berkeley.
Download or read book Cows and Curates written by JUDITH. CURTHOYS and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Christ Church was founded in 1546, Henry VIII made the college a generous grant of land and other property. This endowment was large enough to ensure the smooth running of the college and cathedral including maintaining its buildings, educating its students and paying its staff. From earliest days up to the present, the endowment and later gifts - in all parts of the country, from Montgomeryshire to Norfolk and Cornwall to Yorkshire - have been managed with varying success, sometimes expertly, at other times less so. The shelves of the college archives are full of maps and plans, account books, manorial records, deeds, photographs and detailed correspondence with tenants and vicars. Drawing on this rich material, Cows and Curates recounts the history of the management of farms, urban dwellings, commercial property and industrial estates against the backdrop of national social change, legislation, agricultural developments and depressions, wars and modernisation.

Book excerpt: Sarah Edwards is having a midlife crisis and has the shiny new Porsche to prove it. A woman who normally craves stability, Sarah now finds herself divorced, bored, and twitchy, and her contradictory actions and emotions are giving her family and friends mental whiplash. A two-week trip to England, including a week-long course on Jane Austen at Oxford's prestigious Christ Church, seems the perfect distraction from her midlife meltdown. Enter Alex Fraser, a.k.a. the Earl of Rutherford. Alex may be a member of the lucky sperm club, but he prefers to be known for what he's accomplished, rather than a fate of birth. Despite his family's disapproval, he is determined to work in his chosen profession of acting. One of England's most eligible bachelors, he has all the boyish charm of Hugh Grant, carries the polish of generations of earls, has the work ethic of his commoner mother, and playboy lifestyle notwithstanding, his deep respect for women prevents him from falling into the unforgiving category of womanizer. Sarah's rather sedate intellectual vacation takes an unexpected turn when Alex literally bumps into her in an Oxford pub. The charming, amiable, and all-too-perceptive Alex proves irresistible even to Sarah's carefully guarded heart. But when a picture of the two of them appears in the British tabloids, Sarah is spooked by the negative publicity. She returns to the states determined to put her impetuous affair behind her, come back down to reality, and return to being sensible Sarah. A year later, a presumed twist of fate brings Alex back into her life. Will Sarah walk away from love once again, or will she finally risk it all?
