This is a detailed study of the various ways in which London and India were imaginatively constructed by British observers during the nineteenth century. This process took place within a unified field of knowledge that brought together travel and evangelical accounts to exert a formative influence on the creation of London and India for the domestic reading public. Their distinct narratives, rhetoric and chronologies forged homologies between representations of the metropolitan poor and colonial subjects - those constituencies that were seen as the most threatening to imperial progress. Thus the poor and particular sections of the Indian population were inscribed within discourses of western civilization as regressive and inferior peoples. Over time these discourses increasingly promoted notions of overt and rigid racial hierarchies, of which a legacy still remains.Drawing upon cultural and intellectual history this comparative study seeks to rethink the location of the poor and India within the nineteenth-century imagination.

Via rigorous study of the legal arguments Spain developed to justify its acts of war and conquest, The Other Side of Empire illuminates Spain's expansionary ventures in the Mediterranean in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Andrew Devereux proposes and explores an important yet hitherto unstudied connection between the different rationales that Spanish jurists and theologians developed in the Mediterranean and in the Americas. Devereux describes the ways in which Spaniards conceived of these two theatres of imperial ambition as complementary parts of a whole. At precisely the moment that Spain was establishing its first colonies in the Caribbean, the Crown directed a series of Old World conquests that encompassed the Kingdom of Naples, Navarre, and a string of presidios along the coast of North Africa. Projected conquests in the eastern Mediterranean never took place, but the Crown seriously contemplated assaults on Egypt, Greece, Turkey, and Palestine. The Other Side of Empire elucidates the relationship between the legal doctrines on which Spain based its expansionary claims in the Old World and the New. The Other Side of Empire vastly expands our understanding of the ways in which Spaniards, at the dawn of the early modern era, thought about religious and ethnic difference, and how this informed political thought on just war and empire. While focusing on imperial projects in the Mediterranean, it simultaneously presents a novel contextual background for understanding the origins of European colonialism in the Americas.

Vasili Toporkov was one of the rare outsiders ever to be invited to join the Moscow Art Theatre. Although already an experienced and accomplished artist, he was forced to retrain as an actor under Stanislavski's rigorous guidance. This is Toporkov's account of this learning process, offering an insight into Stanislavski's legendary "system" and his method of rehearsal that became known as the method of physical action. Spanning ten years - from 1928 to 1938 - Toporkov charts the last crucial years of Stanislavski's work as a director. Toporkov reveals Stanislavski as a multi-faceted personality - funny, furious, kind, ruthless, encouraging, exacting - waging war against clichés and quick answers, inspiring his actors and driving to despair in his pursuit of artistic perfection. Jean Benedetti's new translation of Toporkov's invaluable record restores to us the vitality and insight of Stanislavski's mature thoughts on acting.

Essays illuminate the lives of ordinary people who lived in the Ottoman era. Drawing from centuries-old court records, The Other Faces of Empire traces the lives of "outstage" people in vast empire lands. Each essay in the collection tells the story of an ordinary person navigating the Ottoman Empire. On this journey, we meet colorful and quite extraordinary figures: Deli Şaban, "naughty and haramzade" with his unsuccessful suicide attempts; Divane Hamza, who harassed the people in the village of Evciler in Bursa; Mâryem of Konya, who killed her husbands and buried them in the floor of a room of her house; Alaeddin from Skopje, who was captured by pirates; Nicolò Algarotti, a Venetian broker; and many others. The volume's micro-historical perspective strengthens its place in historiography, and moreover, it updates the historical record by sharing the overlooked stories of "ordinary" people and recording their names in the Ottoman historical literature one by one.

Much has been written about the forging of a British identity in the 17th and 18th centuries, from the multiple kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland. But the process also ran across the Irish sea and was played out in North America and the Caribbean. In the process, the indigenous peoples of North America, the Caribbean, the Cape, Australia and New Zealand were forced to redefine their identities. This text integrates the history of these areas with British and imperial history. With contributions from both sides of the Atlantic, each chapter deals with a different aspect of British encounters with indigenous peoples in Colonial America and includes, for example, sections on "Native Americans and Early Modern Concepts of Race" and "Hunting and the Politics of Masculinity in Cherokee treaty-making, 1763-1775". This book should be of particular interest to postgraduate students of Colonial American history and early modern British history.

INTERSTELLAR WAR! Their resentment of Sintar's success fanned by the Democracy of Planets, the Alliance has voted to wage war on Sintar. They are mustering their fleets and gathering their strength to take on the Imperial Navy. Over three million warships are gathering to deliver the blow that will bring the Empire to its knees, with seven million additional warships in reserve. But Emperor Trajan, aware of their war vote, can see them mustering their ships in the Empire's top-secret hyperspace map. And he has no intention of waiting for their declaration of war. The Empire brings up its new navy, seven million new-design warships, plus eight million of the deadly little picket ships. Can the Empire prevail in this clash of titans? INTERVIEW WITH RICH WEYAND EMPIRE: Warlord is an ominous title. Yes, in this volume, the Emperor Trajan is forced to fight a war he doesn't want. The Democracy of Planets has been manipulating the situation, and everybody knows it. But the monarchs of the Alliance who don't want the war are being pushed by their own militaries into fighting Sintar. The Emperor, for his part, is sworn to protect the citizens of Sintar, and will fight the war because he has to. The war itself is on a huge scale, with millions of warships and billions of crew members in each fleet. Yes. My rule of thumb in EMPIRE is to take anything that applies to the USA and multiple by a million. So there are 300 trillion citizens in Sintar, for example. For the navies, though, I actually held back a bit. With the USN having a couple hundred warships, the Imperial Navy should have a couple hundred million warships. Instead, it's only about ten million warships. Still a lot, but not in scale to the size of the Empire. It's all on a huge scale, and yet the war itself is only the first half of the book or so. Of course. Wars don't end with the end of major combat. You have all of what comes after. In this case, there's some of the Alliance monarchs who still want a piece of Sintar, there are others worried about the power vacuum resulting from Sintar's victory. When it's all over, Emperor Trajan and the other rulers involved in the war have to pick up the pieces. There are some new minor characters as well. Yes, I have to give human scale to a story this big. What's it like to be caught up in something like this for individuals? People who are just trying to stay alive in the chaos brought on by the actions of the major players on the scene. It's not enough to describe huge battles. What's it like to be a cog in that machine? Were there any special difficulties in writing EMPIRE: Warlord? No. It took about six weeks for 80,000 words, like all the EMPIRE books. Like all the EMPIRE books, for the first half I worried that it was going to be over too soon, and for the second half I worried it was going to stretch out too long. It's sort of a perennial worry, but in the end I simply wrote the story as it occurred to me and it worked out. Your cover this time continues with the action scenes. Which scene in the book is this? One of Sintar's first-wave attacks on the Alliance, with the little picket ships attacking the Alliance's battleships. James Lewis-Vines had cover duties again, and he did a marvelous job. He got the ships exactly right from the descriptions in the books. There's one more volume in EMPIRE? What's next? There's one more volume in the story of the rise of Trajan. After that, I don't know. There's certainly plenty of room in the EMPIRE universe for more stories. The central idea for the next series just hasn't occurred to me yet.
