Volume 19 Tome I: Kierkegaard Bibliography Afrikaans to Dutch

Volume 19 Tome I: Kierkegaard Bibliography Afrikaans to Dutch

The long tradition of Kierkegaard studies has made it impossible for individual scholars to have a complete overview of the vast field of Kierkegaard research. The large and ever increasing number of publications on Kierkegaard in the languages of the world can be simply bewildering even for experienced scholars. The present work constitutes a systematic bibliography which aims to help students and researchers navigate the seemingly endless mass of publications. The volume is divided into two large sections. Part I which covers Tomes I-V is dedicated to individual bibliographies organized according to specific language. This includes extensive bibliographies of works on Kierkegaard in some 41 different languages. Part II which covers Tomes VI-VII is dedicated to shorter individual bibliographies organized according to specific figures who are in some way relevant for Kierkegaard. The goal has been to create the most exhaustive bibliography of Kierkegaard literature possible and thus the bibliography is not limited to any specific time period but instead spans the entire history of Kierkegaard studies. | Volume 19 Tome I: Kierkegaard Bibliography Afrikaans to Dutch

Francis I and Sixteenth-Century France

Francis I and Sixteenth-Century France

The reputation of Francis I king of France (1515-47 ) has fluctuated over the centuries. Acclaimed as ’noble’ and ’great’ in the sixteenth century he came to be unfairly denigrated under the Bourbon kings and the republic. But in the twentieth century research based on archival material has restored his standing as one of the most important rulers of his age. The present volume brings together seventeen articles by Robert Knecht published over several decades on particular aspects of the reign with three specially translated from French into English. They examine the period in more depth than was possible in the author's 1994 biography of Francis I and include studies of the Concordat of 1516 with the papacy the Field of Cloth of Gold in 1520 the lit-de-justice of 1527 and the visit to France of the Emperor Charles V in 1540. Other articles consider the king’s attitude to the Reformation his court his relations with Paris and visits to Aquitaine his patronage of architecture as demonstrated by his building of the ch¢teau of Fontainebleau and his relations with his mother Louise of Savoy and sister Marguerite d’Angoulªme. The king’s love of books and the political advice he received from scholars are also considered as well as the extent of his ’absolutism’. Two articles compare the English and French Reformations and the nobilities of the two countries. The volume is intended as a contribution to the celebration of the 500th anniversary of Francis I’s accession. | Francis I and Sixteenth-Century France

Forced Labour in Colonial Africa A. T. Nzula I. I. Potekhin and A. Z. Zusmanovich

Forced Labour in Colonial Africa A. T. Nzula I. I. Potekhin and A. Z. Zusmanovich

Originally published for the first time in English in 1979 this book represents one of the earliest Marxist analyses of the impact that colonialism had on Africa during the first half century that followed the Scramble. Nzula’s co-authored book together with all his writings in the Negro Worker are assembled here. The political experience of its African co-author resulted in a book which is alight with commitment to the liberation of the Continent yet always tempered by an explicit theoretical understanding of capitalism in its imperialist phase. The book opens with an outline of Africa’s role in the world economic system. Successive chapters reveal how Western capitalism conjured up a brutally exploited working class and dispossessed peasantry throughout the African continent. Each major region of Black Africa is analysed. Meticulous information as to the facts of oppression and many of the early urban and rural struggles against colonialism before the Second World War is set out. Robin Cohen’s introduction is a valuable summation of Nzula’s life and of the background to this book. The appendices bring together many of Nzula’s little known writings. | Forced Labour in Colonial Africa A. T. Nzula I. I. Potekhin and A. Z. Zusmanovich
