Retaining well-loved features, this book covers in breadth issues of change, continuity, and cause and consequence in this period of English history through key questions such as how effectively did the Tudors develop the powers of the monarchy, and how did English society and economy change.

This Element brings together the history of emotions and temporalities, offering a new perspective on both. Time was often imagined as a movement from the past to the future: the past is gone and the future not yet here.

Only present-day subjects could establish relations to other times, recovering history as well as imagining and anticipating the future. In a movement paralleling the emphasis on the porous self, constituted by emotions situated not inside but between subjects, this Element argues for a porous present, which is open to the intervention of ghosts coming from the past and from the future. What needs investigating is the flow between times as much as the creation of boundaries between them, which first banishes the ghosts and then denies their existence.

Emotions are the most important way through which subjects situate and understand themselves in time.

The castellated country seat of the Muirs of Rowellan bears witness to the architectural aspirations of successive lords over four hundred years. The Muirs were well aware of the deeply rooted symbolic importance of choosing this attractive and well watered location seat by the Carmel Water in Ayrshire. Within only three generations, lairds who might have expected to die in battle for their king, had been transformed into musicians and poets enjoying the good life of James VI's Great Britain.

The latest chapter of Rowallan's long history has been as a property in the care of Historic Scotland, and this volume lays out the results of a decade of archaeological and documentary research to achieve a better understanding of the site.

This complex story begins with its use as a place of burial for Bronze Age farmers, and ends with the construction of a palace in miniature modelled on those of their Stewart kings, to which the Muirs were related by marriage and mistresses.

These investigations have revealed something of the lives of the middle rank of Scots nobility, of which we know little, and yet upon whom the kings relied so much, as expressed through a unique survivor of a lairdly house. Retaining all the well-loved features, this book is now matched to the new AQA specification and covers AS and A Level content together.

With a strong focus on history skills, exam practice and specially selected sources and extracts, this book covers the period in depth, to help students understand key ideas, events and developments. Starting AD around the time of their invasion of England and running through to the s the 'Aftermath' , historian Geoffrey Hindley shows the Anglo-Saxons as formative in the history not only of England but also of Europe.

The society inspired by the warrior world of the Old English poem Beowulf saw England become the world's first nation state and Europe's first country to conduct affairs in its own language, and Bede and Boniface of Wessex establish the dating convention we still use today.

Including all the latest research, this is a fascinating assessment of a vital historical period. Skip to content. The Scramble for Africa. Author : M. The Scramble for Africa Book Review:.
