A King Translated The Writings of King James VI & I and their Interpretation in the Low Countries 1593–1603

A King Translated The Writings of King James VI & I and their Interpretation in the Low Countries 1593–1603

King James is well known as the most prolific writer of all the Stuart monarchs publishing works on numerous topics and issues. These works were widely read not only in Scotland and England but also on the Continent where they appeared in several translations. In this book Dr Stilma looks both at the domestic and international context to James's writings using as a case study a set of Dutch translations which includes his religious meditations his epic poem The Battle of Lepanto his treatise on witchcraft Daemonologie and his manual on kingship Basilikon Doron. The book provides an examination of James's writings within their original Scottish context particularly their political implications and their role in his management of his religio-political reputation both at home and abroad. The second half of each chapter is concerned with contemporary interpretations of these works by James's readers. The Dutch translations are presented as a case study of an ultra-protestant and anti-Spanish reading from which James emerges as a potential leader of protestant Europe; a reputation he initially courted then distanced himself from after his accession to the English throne in 1603. In so doing this book greatly adds to our appreciation of James as an author providing an exploration of his works as politically expedient statements which were sometimes ambiguous enough to allow diverging - and occasionally unwelcome - interpretations. It is one of the few studies of James to offer a sustained critical reading of these texts together with an exploration of the national and international context in which they were published and read. As such this book contributes to the understanding not only of James's works as political tools but also of the preoccupations of publishers and translators and the interpretative spaces in the works they were making available to an international audience. | A King Translated The Writings of King James VI & I and their Interpretation in the Low Countries 1593–1603

Redefining William III The Impact of the King-Stadholder in International Context

Redefining William III The Impact of the King-Stadholder in International Context

William III (1650-1702) was Stadholder in the United Provinces and King of England Scotland and Ireland. His reign has always intrigued historians as it encompassed such defining events as the Dutch year of Disaster (1672) the Glorious Revolution (1688) and the ensuing wars against France. Although William has played a pivotal role in the political and religious history of his countries the significance and international impact of his reign is still not very well understood. This volume contains a number of innovative essays from specialists in the field which have evolved from papers delivered to an international conference held at the University of Utrecht in December 2002. By focusing on the entire period 1650-1702 from an international perspective the volume moves historical discussion away from the traditional analysis of single events to encompass William's entire reign from a variety of political religious intellectual and cultural positions. In so doing it offers a new perspective on the British and Dutch reigns of William III as well as the wider European milieu. | Redefining William III The Impact of the King-Stadholder in International Context

Archetypal Nonviolence Jung King and Culture Through the Eyes of Selma

Archetypal Nonviolence Jung King and Culture Through the Eyes of Selma

Renée Moreau Cunningham’s unique study utilizes the psychology of C. G. Jung and the spiritual teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. to explore how nonviolence works psychologically as a form of spiritual warfare confronting and transmuting aggression. Archetypal Nonviolence uses King’s iconic march from Selma to Montgomery a demonstration which helped introduce America to nonviolent philosophy on a mass scale as a metaphor for psychological and spiritual activism on an individual and collective level. Cunningham’s work explores the core wound of racism in America on both a collective and a personal level investigating how we hide from our own potential for evil and how the divide within ourselves can be bridged. The book demonstrates that the alchemical transmutation of aggression through a nonviolent ethos as shown in the Selma marches is important to understand as a beginning to something greater within the paradox of human violence and its bedfellow nonviolence. Archetypal Nonviolence explores how we can truly transform hatred by understanding how it operates within. It will be of great interest to Jungian analysts and analytical psychologists in practice and in training and to academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies American history race and racism and nonviolent movements. | Archetypal Nonviolence Jung King and Culture Through the Eyes of Selma

Daniel Gookin the Praying Indians and King Philip's War A Short History in Documents

This volume presents a valuable collection of annotated primary documents published during King Philip’s War (1675–76) a conflict that pitted English colonists against many native peoples of southern New England to reveal the real-life experiences of early Americans. Louise Breen’s detailed introduction to Daniel Gookin and the War combined with interpretations of the accompanying ancillary documents offers a set of inaccessible or unpublished archival documents that illustrate the distrust and mistreatment heaped upon praying (Christian) Indians. The book begins with an informative annotation of Historical Account of the Doings and Sufferings of the Christian Indians in New England in the Years 1675 1675 and 1677 written by Gookin a magistrate and military leader who defended Massachusetts’ praying Indians to expose atrocities committed against natives and the experiences of specific individuals and towns during the war. Developments in societal and particularly religious inclusivity in Puritan New England during this period of colonial conflict are thoroughly explored through Breen’s analysis. The book offers students primary sources that are pertinent to survey history courses on Early Americans and Colonial History as well as providing instructors with documents that serve as concrete examples to illustrate broad societal changes that occurred during the seventeenth century. | Daniel Gookin the Praying Indians and King Philip's War A Short History in Documents

Voices in the Legal Archives in the French Colonial World “The King is Listening”

Voices in the Legal Archives in the French Colonial World “The King is Listening”

Voices in the Legal Archives in the French Colonial World: The King is Listening offers through the contribution of thirteen original chapters a sustained analysis of judicial practices and litigation during the first era of French overseas expansion. The overall goal of this volume is to elaborate a more sophisticated social history of colonialism by focusing largely on the eighteenth century extending roughly from 1700 until the conclusion of the Age of Revolutions in the 1830s. By critically examining legal practices and litigation in the French colonial world in both its Atlantic and Oceanic extensions this volume of essays has sought to interrogate the naturalized equation between law and empire an idea premised on the idea of law as a set of doctrines and codified procedures originating in the metropolis and then transmitted to the colonies. This book advances new approaches and methods in writing a history of the French empire one which views state authority as more unstable and contested. Voices in the Legal Archives proposes to remedy the under-theorized state of France’s first colonial empire as opposed to its post-1830 imperial expressions empire which have garnered far more scholarly attention. This book will appeal to scholars of French history and the comparative history of European empires and colonialism. | Voices in the Legal Archives in the French Colonial World “The King is Listening”

Sex Drugs and Creativity Searching for Magic in a Disenchanted World

Sex Drugs and Creativity Searching for Magic in a Disenchanted World

In Sex Drugs and Creativity: The Search for Magic in a Disenchanted World Kahoud and Knafo take a close look at omnipotent fantasies in three domains: sex drugs and creativity. They demonstrate how these fantasies emerge and how artists draw on them both to create and destroy—sometimes simultaneously – and how understanding this can help psychoanalysts work more effectively with these individuals. Using the personal statements of influential artists and entertainers in addition to clinical material the authors examine the omnipotence of self-destruction as it contends with that of creative artists. The authors argue that creative artists use omnipotent fantasies to imagine the world differently - this enables them to produce their art but also leaves these artists vulnerable to addiction. Chapters devoted to Stephen King and Anne Sexton demonstrate the ways these authors used drugs and alcohol to fuel imagination and inspire creative output while simultaneously doing harm to themselves. A detailed case study also demonstrates successful clinical work with a creative substance user. Sex Drugs and Creativity will appeal to anyone interested in the links between creativity and substance use and will be of great use to psychoanalysts and mental health practitioners working with these challenging clients. | Sex Drugs and Creativity Searching for Magic in a Disenchanted World
