J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien (1892–1973) is widely regarded as one of the most important writers of the twentieth century. His popularity began with the publication in 1937 of The Hobbit and was cemented by the appearance of The Lord of the Rings in the early 1950s. However engagement with his work was until relatively recently sidelined by literary and other scholars. Consequently many foundational analyses of his fiction and his work as a medievalist are dispersed in hard-to-find monographs and obscure journals (often produced by dedicated amateurs). In contrast over the last decade or so academic interest in Tolkien has risen dramatically. Indeed interpretative and critical commentary is now being generated on a bewildering scale in part aided by the continuing posthumous publication of his work (most recently his Beowulf translation which appeared in 2014). The dizzying quantity—and variable quality—of this later criticism makes it difficult to discriminate the useful from the tendentious superficial and otiose. Now in four volumes a new collection from Routledge’s Critical Assessments of Major Writers series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to collect early evaluations and to make sense of the more recent explosion in research output. Users are now able easily and rapidly to locate the best and most influential critical assessments. With material gathered into one easy-to-use set Tolkien researchers and students can now spend more of their time with the key journal articles book chapters and other pieces rather than on time-consuming (and sometimes fruitless) archival searches.

Military History

Military History

Addressing the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of a rapidly growing and ever more complex corpus of literature Military History is a new title from Routledge’s Critical Concepts in Military Strategic and Security Studies series. Edited by Jeremy Black (‘the most prolific historical scholar of our age’) it is a four-volume collection which brings together the very best scholarship in a one-stop ‘mini library’ of major works. Black avers that military history is increasingly seen as a global enterprise and Eurocentric/Western perspectives and paradigms often now appear questionable if not redundant. Moreover a teleology of warfare leading towards the total warfare of the twentieth century—the two world wars and the Cold War—appears far less convincing he says in light of developments since 1990. This kind of re-examination of long-held assumptions about military history has guided the selection of materials which are organized chronologically but with abundant cross-referencing to enable users to pursue thematic approaches. The focus is on major works published since 1990 first to centre on current research questions and perspectives and secondly because earlier literature can be followed through these pieces. Military History is fully indexed and includes a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context. It is an essential reference work and is destined to be valued by scholars and students as a vital research and pedagogic resource.

Indigenous Peoples and the Law

Indigenous Peoples and the Law

Despite the fact that the appropriation of land and resources of the so-called New World necessarily involved the dispossession and exploitation (and sometimes genocide) of the original inhabitants of colonized nations it was not until the late twentieth century that Indigenous Peoples attained any meaningful degree of legal recognition in both national and international spheres. Until then Indigenous Peoples (also known as ‘First Nations’ and ‘First Peoples’) were routinely denied any form of juridical identity. Research in and around Indigenous Peoples and the Law is now very wide-ranging and flourishes as never before. But much of the relevant literature remains inaccessible or is highly specialized and compartmentalized so that it is difficult for many of those who are interested in the subject to obtain an informed balanced and comprehensive overview. This new four-volume collection meets the need for an authoritative anthology to make sense of the subject’s vast and dispersed literature and the continuing explosion in research output. Drawing on a wide variety of materials from a broad range of disciplines and theoretical approaches the collection gathers canonical and cutting-edge major works in a ‘one-stop’ resource to enable users to understand how the law Indigenous Peoples encounter has been transformed from an oppressive rights-denying system to a site of contestation and for the articulation of claims. The collection includes a full index and is supplemented by introductions to each volume newly written by the editors which place the gathered materials in their historical and intellectual context. Indigenous Peoples and the Law is an essential reference work which will be valued as a vital resource by students scholars policy-makers and practitioners.

Postcolonial Politics

Postcolonial Politics

The learned editors of this new four-volume collection from Routledge argue that—at its core—postcolonialism makes two substantial claims with corresponding research agendas and political implications. First that the emergence and functioning of the modern world cannot be truly understood and explained as if it originated in Europe and was then ‘exported’ to the non-West; such Eurocentric accounts must be interrogated and challenged. Second that since the humanities and social sciences developed in Europe as an attempt to make sense of Western developments the analytical tools and disciplinary formations by which we seek to explain and represent the world also need to be critically questioned and where necessary rethought. This timely new collection from Routledge’s Critical Concepts in Political Science series enables users to comprehend the scope and ambition of these claims and to make sense of the dizzying diversity of texts generated across different continents and in different languages and spanning numerous fields of intellectual and literary endeavour that constitute the formative and central works of Postcolonial Politics. The four volumes that make up the collection are edited by the directors of the Centre for Postcolonial Studies at Goldsmiths University of London and unite the expertise of three distinguished scholars who have produced a unique ‘mini library’ that is as diverse as its subject matter. Postcolonial Politics brings together foundational and cutting-edge essays and journal articles and it draws on sources from Africa Latin America and Asia as well as those in the Western world including some newly translated pieces. Fully indexed and with new introductions to each volume this collection will be welcomed by scholars other researchers and advanced students as an indispensable reference and pedagogic resource.
