Plague was one of the enduring facts of everyday life on the European continent, from earliest antiquity through the first decades of the eighteenth century. It represents one of the most important influences on the development of Europe s society and culture. In order to understand the changing circumstances of the political, economic, ecclesiastical, artistic, and social history of that continent, it is important to understand epidemic disease and society’s response to it. This research draws extensively upon a wealth of primary sources, both printed and painted, and includes ample bib

Hegel offers perhaps the most profound and systemic modern attempt to understand the state as the realization of human freedom. In this comprehensive examination of the philosopher’s ideas on freedom, Paul Franco focuses particularly on G.W.F. Hegel’s masterpiece, Philosophy of Right. Franco traces the development of Hegel’s ideas and relates them to modern political theory.

In a timely and relevant work of social commentary, Poverty and the Continuing Global Health Crisis examines the problem of world poverty and its impact on health with embarrassment, while being totally cognizant of the complex issues linked to both poverty and health. Poverty continues to touch the consciousness of humanity, challenging our piety, and questioning our concerns about equality and the plight of society’s least fortunate people. This book amplifies the hopelessness of the poverty stricken masses in a world of plenty, and links poverty to a chain of problems in the campaign

A compelling analysis of the relations between high and mass culture, from tragedy and horror to detective fiction and classical realism. Shakespearean tragedy and Dracula, Sherlock Holmes and Ulysses, Frankenstein and The Waste Land — all are celebrated “wonders” of modern literature, whether in its mandarin or popular form. However, it is the fact that these texts are so central to our contemporary notion of literature that sometimes hinders our ability to understand them. Franco Moretti applies himself to this problem by drawing skilfully on structuralist, sociological and psy
