"A Companion to Geoffrey of Monmouth brings together scholars from a range of disciplines to provide an updated scholarly introduction to all aspects of his work. Arguably the most influential secular writer of medieval Britain, Geoffrey (d. 1154) popularized Arthurian literature and left an indelible mark on European romance, history, and genealogy. Despite this outsized influence, Geoffrey's own life, background, and motivations are little understood. The volume situates his life and works within their immediate historical context, and frames them within current critical discussion across the humanities. By necessity, this volume concentrates primarily on Geoffrey's own life and times, with the reception of his works covered by a series of short encyclopaedic overviews, organized by language, that serve as guides to further reading. Contributors are Jean Blacker, Elizabeth Bryan, Thomas H. Crofts, Siân Echard, Fabrizio De Falco, Michael Faletra, Ben Guy, Santiago Gutiérrez Garcia, Nahir I. Otaño Gracia, Paloma Gracia, Giorgia Henley, David F. Johnson, Owain Wyn Jones, Maud Burnett McInerney, Françoise Le Saux, Barry Lewis, Coral Lumbley, Simon Meecham-Jones, Paul Russell, Victoria Shirley, Joshua Byron Smith, Jaakko Tahkokallio, Hélène Tétrel, Rebecca Thomas, Fiona Tolhurst".

"From December 1777 through June 1778, the American Revolution achieved a remarkable turnaround. Rarely presented as a standalone narrative, this six-month period saw the Continental Army recover from abject demoralization at Valley Forge to achieve a stunning victory against the British at Monmouth Courthouse. This compelling history chronicles the pivotal moment of the Revolution-from the consequential leadership of General Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette to the experiences of the men who marched and fought in the ranks-and reexamines one of the most controversial periods of early American history."

Merlin, Lailoken, Suibhne : trois figures du devin appartenant à trois provinces celtiques, respectivement le Pays de Galles, l’Écosse et l’Irlande. Trois personnages, trois énigmes et trois destins qui se rencontrent sur le champ du mythe. À partir de trois textes majeurs du xiie siècle ici traduits : la Vita Merlini du clerc gallois Geoffrey de Monmouth, la Vita Kentigerni et la Folie de Suibhne, texte mythologique irlandais, cet ouvrage dessine un portrait du devin celtique d’après ce que le Moyen Âge chrétien en conserve. Disqualifié par le prêtre ou l’évêque qui lui ôtent son privilège sacré, le devin ne possède plus guère que la science encyclopédique pour fonder sa légitimité. De son antique don prophétique, il ne reste plus que l’étrange discours d’une poésie sacrée où se lisent les signes incertains de l’Histoire.

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, first published in Russia around 1905, claimed to be the captured secret protocols from the first Zionist Congress in Basel in 1897 describing a plan by the Jewish people to achieve global domination. While the document has been proven to be fake, much of it plagiarized from satirical anti-Semitic texts, it had a major impact throughout Europe during the first half of the 20th century, particularly in Germany. After World War II, the text was further denounced. Anyone who referred to it as a genuine document was seen as an ignorant hate-monger.Yet there is abundant evidence that The Protocols is resurfacing in many places. The Paranoid Apocalypse re-examines the text’s popularity, investigating why it has persisted, as well as larger questions about the success of conspiracy theories even in the face of claims that they are blatantly counterfactual and irrational. It considers the medieval pre-history of The Protocols, the conditions of its success in the era of early twentieth-century secular modernity, and its post-Holocaust avatars, from the Muslim world to Walmart and Left-wing anti-American radicalism. Contributors argue that the key to The Protocols’ longevity is an apocalyptic paranoia that lays the groundwork not only for the myth’s popularity, but for its implementation as a vehicle for genocide and other brutal acts.The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, first published in Russia around 1905, claimed to be the captured secret protocols from the first Zionist Congress in Basel in 1897 describing a plan by the Jewish people to achieve global domination.
