Keeping Them Out of the Hands of Satan Evangelical Schooling in America

First published in 1988 this work was the product of extensive fieldwork in two evangelical communities. This in-depth ethnographic study focuses on the meaning systems organizational structures and the daily lives of the people Susan D. Rose encountered. The study is centred around Christian schooling as a method of socialisation. Tracing the rise of evangelicalism and the development of the Christian School Movement in the latter half of the twentieth century it examines the kinds of educational alternatives evangelicals have structured for their children. Moving beyond the issue of schooling itself it analyses the interactions among schooling ideology economic structures and the nature of work in contemporary American society and explores how people relate to one another within the church-family-school network.

Thomas Cranmer

Thomas Cranmer’s place in English history is firmly established yet the complexities of his character have remained obscure and he continues to be one of the most problematic figures of the Tudor period. Susan Wabuda’s biography sheds fresh light not only on the private Cranmer but also on the qualities that enabled him to master a shifting political landscape and to build a new English Church. Athletic by nature Cranmer enjoyed hunting and he was a keen collector of books. He was blessed with several lifelong friendships and twice risked his career by marrying the women he loved. A skilled debater and a deft politician Cranmer sought to balance his long-term plans for the Church against the immediate demands of survival at court. Obedient at all times yet never entirely trustworthy he had to reconcile the will of his God with the will of the monarch he served. For too long Cranmer’s legacy has overshadowed the life of the man himself but this new biography enriches and extends our understanding of both. Accessible and informative it will be essential reading for students and scholars of the English Reformation and the Tudor age.

Jane Eyre's Fairytale Legacy at Home and Abroad Constructions and Deconstructions of National Identity

Exploring the literary microcosm inspired by Brontë's debut novel Jane Eyre's Fairytale Legacy at Home and Abroad focuses on the nationalistic stakes of the mythic and fairytale paradigms that were incorporated into the heroic female bildungsroman tradition. Jane Eyre Abigail Heiniger argues is a heroic changeling indebted to the regional pre-Victorian fairy lore Charlotte Brontë heard and read in Haworth an influence that Brontë repudiates in her last novel Villette. While this heroic figure inspired a range of female writers on both sides of the Atlantic Heiniger suggests that the regional aspects of the changeling were especially attractive to North American writers such as Susan Warner and L. M. Montgomery who responded to Jane Eyre as part of the Cinderella tradition. Heiniger contrasts the reactions of these white women writers with that of Hannah Crafts whose Jane Eyre-influenced The Bondwoman's Narrative rejects the Cinderella model. Instead Heiniger shows Crafts creates a heroic female bildungsroman that critiques fairytale narratives from the viewpoint of the obscure oppressed workers who remain forever outside the tales of wonder produced for middle-class consumption. Heiniger concludes by demonstrating how Brontë's middle-class American readers projected the self-rise ethic onto Jane Eyre miring the novel in nineteenth-century narratives of American identity formation. | Jane Eyre's Fairytale Legacy at Home and Abroad Constructions and Deconstructions of National Identity

The Chanson d'Antioche An Old French Account of the First Crusade

The Old-French Chanson d'Antioche has long intrigued historians and literary scholars. Unusually among epic poems it follows closely a well documented historical event - the First Crusade - and appears to include substantial and genuine historical content. At one time it was believed to be based on an account by an eye-witness 'Richard the Pilgrim'. Carol Sweetenham and Susan Edgington have combined forces to investigate such claims and their findings are set out in a comprehensive introduction which firstly examines the textual history of the poem from its possible oral beginnings through several re-workings to its present form achieved early in the thirteenth century. A second chapter assesses the Chanson's value as a source for the crusade and a third considers its status as a literary text. A complete prose translation follows the first in English and based on the definitive edition. The Chanson is revealed as a lively narrative with tales of chivalry villainy and even episodes of humour. There are extensive footnotes to the translation and an appendix provides supplementary material from a different manuscript tradition. There is also a cast list of heroes and villains with biographical information for the 'real' ones and literary analogues for the fictional characters. The Chanson d'Antioche can now be read for enjoyment and for a whole new perspective on crusading in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. | The Chanson d'Antioche An Old French Account of the First Crusade

Consciousness An Introduction

Is there a theory that explains the essence of consciousness? Or is consciousness itself an illusion? Am I conscious now?

It is now a significant area of research albeit a contentious one as well as a rapidly expanding area of study for students of psychology philosophy and neuroscience. This edition of Consciousness revised by author team Susan Blackmore and Emily Troscianko explores the key theories and evidence in consciousness studies ranging from neuroscience and psychology to quantum theories and philosophy. It examines why the term ‘consciousness’ has no recognised definition and provides an opportunity to delve into personal intuitions about the self mind and consciousness. Featuring comprehensive coverage of all core topics in the field this edition includes: Why the problem of consciousness is so hard Neuroscience and the neural correlates of consciousness Why we might be mistaken about our own minds The apparent difference between conscious and unconscious Theories of attention free will and self and other The evolution of consciousness in animals and machines Altered states from meditation to drugs and dreaming Complete with key concept boxes profiles of well-known thinkers and questions and activities suitable for both independent study and group work Consciousness provides a complete introduction to this fascinating field.
