Durante il tumultuoso periodo della Guerra Civile Inglese, Newcastle fu teatro di uno dei più grandi processi per stregoneria nella storia inglese. Tra il 1649 e il 1650, almeno 40 donne furono accusate, processate e giustiziate come streghe. In "Le streghe di Newcastle", l'autore ricostruisce minuziosamente questi eventi, inserendoli nel contesto più ampio delle tensioni politiche e religiose dell'epoca. L'autore descrive come le accuse di stregoneria fossero spesso basate su pettegolezzi, rancori personali e superstizioni, e come i processi venissero condotti con metodi brutali e inaffidabili. Il libro è strutturato in diversi capitoli, ciascuno dei quali affronta aspetti specifici dei processi e del contesto storico. L'introduzione fornisce una panoramica storica del periodo, contestualizzando gli eventi di Newcastle durante la Guerra Civile Inglese e le tensioni religiose e politiche dell'epoca. Il primo capitolo, "La caccia alle streghe", descrive la storia della caccia alle streghe a Newcastle, con un'attenzione particolare alle leggi contro la stregoneria e agli eventi chiave del periodo, esaminando la petizione generale pubblica del 1649, le motivazioni dietro le accuse di stregoneria e le pratiche dei cacciatori di streghe scozzesi. Il capitolo "A giudizio del Tribunale speciale" esamina il funzionamento del tribunale istituito per processare le presunte streghe, le figure coinvolte e i metodi di interrogatorio utilizzati. Il successivo capitolo descrive l'intervento del Parlamento inglese e come abbia influenzato e regolamentato i processi per stregoneria a Newcastle. Il libro fornisce un elenco delle donne accusate e delle sentenze emesse contro di loro, dettagliando le procedure di condanna e le ultime ore delle donne condannate prima dell'esecuzione. Un capitolo significativo è dedicato alla figura del tenente colonnello Francis Paul Hobson, che contribuì a smascherare le false accuse e i metodi ingannevoli dei cacciatori di streghe. L'autore si interroga anche sulla reale colpevolezza delle accusate, esaminando la possibilità che fossero effettivamente streghe o vittime innocenti di un sistema corrotto e superstizioso. Infine, il libro confronta il sistema giudiziario di Newcastle con quello dell'Inquisizione romana, evidenziando somiglianze e differenze nei metodi e nelle motivazioni. L'opera si chiude con una riflessione sulle conseguenze a lungo termine dei processi alle streghe a Newcastle e sull'importanza di ricordare questi eventi per evitare che simili ingiustizie si ripetano in futuro. Con questa struttura dettagliata, l'autore offre un'opera che è al contempo una rigorosa analisi storica e un potente monito contro i pericoli della superstizione e dell'intolleranza.

"This may be more than a novel of high achievement, in fact; it may be the best work so far of a truly daring writer."—America Displaying his characteristic penchant for the macabre, the tender and the comic, Michael Tournier presents the traditional Magi describing their personal odysseys to Bethlehem—and audaciously imagines a fourth, "the eternal latecomer"' whose story of hardship and redemption is the most moving and instructive of all. Prince of Mangalore and son of an Indian maharajah, Taor has tasted an exquisite confection, rachat loukoum, and is so taken by the flavor that he sets out to recover the recipe. His quest takes him across Western Asia and finally lands him in Sodom, where he is imprisoned in a salt mine. There, this fourth wise man learns the recipe from a fellow prisoner, and learns of the existence and meaning of Jesus.

This book explores the emergence of the nationally diverging paths taken by England and Germany in relation to the legal concept of self-defence. It explores how various theories of legitimate resistance to authority were developed and how they came to influence one another. In particular it is argued that German theories played a much greater role than has hitherto been acknowledged in influencing English concepts of 'natural rights' as discussed by such men as Parker and Locke.

It is a historical phenomenon that while thousands of women were being burnt as witches in early modern Europe, the English - although there were a few celebrated trials and executions, one of which the play dramatises - were not widely infected by the witch-craze. The stage seems to have provided an outlet for anxieties about witchcraft, as well as an opportunity for public analysis. The Witch of Edmonton (1621) manifests this fundamentally reasonable attitude, with Dekker insisting on justice for the poor and oppressed, Ford providing psychological character studies, and Rowley the clowning. The village community of Edmonton feels threatened by two misfits, Old Mother Sawyer, who has turned to the devil to aid her against her unfeeling neighbours, and Frank, who refuses to marry the woman of his father's choice and ends up murdering her. This edition shows how the play generates sympathy for both and how contemporaries would have responded to its presentation of village life and witchcraft.

As a precocious young girl, Surekha knew very little about the details of her mother Amma’s unusual past and that of Babu, her mysterious and sometimes absent father. The tense, uncertain family life created by her parents’ distant and fractious marriage and their separate ambitions informs her every action and emotion. Then one evening, in a moment of uncharacteristic transparency and vulnerability, Amma tells Surekha and her older sister Didi of the family tragedy that changed the course of her life. Finally, the daughters begin to understand the source of their mother’s deep commitment to the Indian nationalist movement and her seemingly unending willingness to sacrifice in the name of that pursuit. In this re-memory based on the published and unpublished work of Amma and Surekha, Meenal Shrivastava, Surekha’s daughter, uncovers the history of the female foot soldiers of Gandhi’s national movement in the early twentieth century. As Meenal weaves these written accounts together with archival research and family history, she gives voice and honour to the hundreds of thousands of largely forgotten or unacknowledged women who, threatened with imprisonment for treason and sedition, relentlessly and selflessly gave toward the revolution.

This book provides an innovative cultural history of Italian colonialism and its impact on twentieth-century ideas of empire and anti-colonialism. In October 1935, Mussoliniʼs army attacked Ethiopia, defying the League of Nations and other European imperial powers. The book explores the widespread political and literary responses to the invasion, highlighting how Pan-Africanism drew its sustenance from opposition to Italy’s late empire-building, and reading the work of George Padmore, Claude McKay, and CLR James alongside the feminist and socialist anti-colonial campaigner Sylvia Pankhurst’s broadsheet, New Times and Ethiopia News. Extending into the postwar period, the book examines the fertile connections between anti-colonialism and anti-fascism in Italian literature and art, tracing the emergence of a “resistance aesthetics” in works such as The Battle of Algiers and Giovanni Pirelli’s harrowing books of testimony about Algeria’s war of independence, both inspired by Frantz Fanon. This book will interest readers passionate about postcolonial studies, the history of Italian imperialism, Pan-Africanism, print cultures, and Italian postwar culture.
