This highly original book opens up the almost entirely neglected area of the black African presence in Western Europe during the Renaissance. Covering history, literature, art history and anthropology, it investigates a whole range of black African experience and representation across Renaissance Europe, from various types of slavery to black musicians and dancers, from real and symbolic Africans at court to the views of the Catholic Church, and from writers of African descent to Black African criminality. Their findings demonstrate the variety and complexity of black African life in fifteenth and sixteenth-century Europe, and how it was affected by firmly held preconceptions relating to the African continent and its inhabitants, reinforced by Renaissance ideas and conditions. Of enormous importance both for European and American history, this book mixes empirical material and theoretical approaches, and addresses such issues as stereotypes, changing black African identity, and cultural representation in art and literature.

Cayetana Alvarez De ToledoThis work examines the relationship between Spain and America in the seventeenth century through the life and thought of Juan de Palafox, a protege of the count-duke of Olivares who became Visitor General of New Spain. Alvarez de Toledo explores the failed attempt made by Palafox to reform overseas government on constitutional lines, and thus throws light upon the Spanish practice of empire and on how the transatlantic relationship worked and developed.

This text seeks to redefine the early modern English economy by rejecting the concept of capitalism, and instead explores the cultural meaning of credit, resulting from the way in which it was economically structured. It is a major argument of the book that money was used only in a limited number of exchanges, and that credit in terms of household reputation, was a "cultural currency" of trust used to transact most business. As the market expanded in the late 16th century, such trust became harder to maintain, leading to an explosion of debt litigation, which in turn resulted in social ...

"Failure of Empire "is the first comprehensive biography of the Roman emperor Valens and his troubled reign (a.d. 364-78). Valens will always be remembered for his spectacular defeat and death at the hands of the Goths in the Battle of Adrianople. This singular misfortune won him a front-row seat among history''s great losers. By the time he was killed, his empire had been coming unglued for several years: the Goths had overrun the Balkans; Persians, Isaurians, and Saracens were threatening the east; the economy was in disarray; and pagans and Christians alike had been exiled, tortured, and executed in his religious persecutions. Valens had not, however, entirely failed in his job as emperor. He was an admirable administrator, a committed defender of the frontiers, and a ruler who showed remarkable sympathy for the needs of his subjects. In lively style and rich detail, Lenski incorporates a broad range of new material, from archaeology to Gothic and Armenian sources, in a study that illuminates the social, cultural, religious, economic, administrative, and military complexities of Valens''s realm. "Failure of Empire "offers a nuanced reconsideration of Valens the man and shows both how he applied his strengths to meet the expectations of his world and how he ultimately failed in his efforts to match limited capacities to limitless demands.

Con motivo del bicentenario del Trienio Liberal en España, el grupo de profesores e investigadores que participamos en esta obra colectiva, coincidimos en considerar que era necesario reactivar los estudios sobre dicho periodo, despues del eco que tuvo el bicentenario de la Constitucion de Cadiz. Entre 1820 y 1823 se desarrollo en España un periodo que constituyo una nueva puesta en vigor de la Constitucion de Cadiz de 1812 y se abrio una breve etapa en la que se propiciaron iniciativas muy importantes planteadas en el periodo gaditano y que habian quedado suspendidas o derogadas en 1814, con la vuelta de Fernando VII. Esperemos que el objetivo fundamental de esta obra se haya cubierto: el reavivar los estudios sobre el Trienio, el Vintismo y la Revolucion italiana y sea, no un punto de partida, pero si un estimulo para la renovacion de la investigacion sobre este periodo en analisis comparados. Esta obra completa el catalogo de Thomson-Reuters Aranzadi.
