Renaissance England’s Chief Rabbi : John Selden

Attribution
Jason P. Rosenblatt
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 2006
Links
- Table of contents only
Description
In the midst of an age of prejudice, John Selden’s immense, neglected rabbinical works contain magnificent Hebrew scholarship that respects, to an extent remarkable for the times, the self-understanding of Judaism. Although scholars have examined Selden (1584-1654) as a political theorist, legal and constitutional historian, and parliamentarian, Renaissance England’s Chief Rabbi is the first book-length study of his rabbinic and especially talmudic publications, which take up most of the six folio volumes of his complete works and constitute his most mature scholarship.

Shadowplay : The Hidden Beliefs And Coded Politics Of William Shakespeare

Attribution
Clare Asquith
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, PublicAffairs, 2005
Description
A revelatory new look at how Shakespeare secretly addressed the most profound political issues of his day, and how his plays embody a hidden history of England In 16th century England many loyal subjects to the crown were asked to make a terrible choice: to follow their monarch or their God. Revealing Shakespeare’s sophisticated version of a forgotten code developed by 16th-century dissidents, Clare Asquith shows how he was both a genius for all time and utterly a creature of his own era: a writer who was supported by dissident Catholic aristocrats, who agonized about the fate of England’s spiritual and political life and who used the stage to attack and expose a regime which he believed had seized illegal control of the country he loved.

Virginia Woolf And The Bloomsbury Avant-garde : War, Civilization, Modernity

Attribution
Christine Froula
Publication Details
Book, Columbia University Press, 2005
Description
Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Avant-Garde traces the dynamic emergence of Woolf’s art and thought against Bloomsbury’s public thinking about Europe’s future in a period marked by two world wars and rising threats of totalitarianism. Educated informally in her father’s library and in Bloomsbury’s London extension of Cambridge, Virginia Woolf came of age in the prewar decades, when progressive political and social movements gave hope that Europe “might really be on the brink of becoming civilized,” as Leonard Woolf put it.
