Of all the great composers of the eighteenth century, Handel was the supreme cosmopolitan, an early and extraordinarily successful example of a freelance composer. For thirty years the opera-house was the principal focus of his creative work and he composed more than forty operas over this period. In this book, David Kimbell sets Handel's operas in their biographical and cultural contexts. He explores the circumstances in which they were composed and performed, the librettos that were prepared for Handel, and what they tell us about his and his audience's values and the music he composed for them. Remarkably no Handel operas were staged for a period of 170 years between 1754 and the 1920s. The final chapter in this book reveals the differences and similarities between how Handel's operas were performed in his time and ours.

"The story of Christian missionaries in Africa is an extraordinary one, a central drama of cultural encounter unfolding over two hundred years and profoundly changing Africa in the process. It is also the story of thousands of individual men and women from Europe and the USA, and of millions of Africans, whose lives were altered. Central to the story is the Christian faith, the ways in which missionaries took it to Africa, and the ways in which the Africans accepted (or rejected) it. But missionising had a much broader impact than the religious one, relating to travel and exploration, medical care, education and imperialism. Also bound up in the story are issues of race (and racism), commerce, politics and warfare. Although there have been scholarly works on parts of the story, this is the first general history, and the first history to provide a broad sweep. The documentary record is very rich, and the author has drawn on many texts, of and about missionaries. A preface outlines European contact with Africa prior to 1700 (including Jesuit travel in Ethiopia), but the narrative proper begins with the earliest attempts by German and English Protestant missionary societies to set up missions in West Africa, a strategy which related to the end of slavery and the notion of repatriation for ex-slaves. Subsequent chapters examine the activities of a whole range of other societies in different parts of Africa. Throughout, the narrative returns to the key themes of religion, race, culture and commerce played out in the arenas of conversion, education and medical care."--Publisher's description.

Un essai sur la littérature au siècle des lumières. Les interactions entre le roman, qui cherche des thèmes nouveaux pour acquérir une nouvelle image excluant futilité et inconsistance, et la philosophie, qui construit des fictions pour s'adresser à un autre public et mieux interroger la société, sont mises en lumière.

Qu'est-ce que le féminisme au juste ? Ce dictionnaire apporte une réponse large (la contestation de l'inégalité entre les sexes), plurielle (les mouvements de femmes, les philosophies ou idéologies qui les nourrissent) et contextualisée. Il n'y a pas de définition universelle et diachronique du féminisme, forme de résistance à un contexte oppressif spécifique. La diversité des vies de militant.e.s, des moyens d'action et d'expression, des revendications et objectifs montre au contraire combien le féminisme prend les couleurs du temps et des lieux qu'il investit. Mais il est aussi, en retour, une force de transformation culturelle sociale et politique de tout premier plan. Issu de recherches universitaires récentes, ce dictionnaire est à la fois biographique et thématique. Il rend compte, avec méthode et pédagogie, de toute la richesse du mouvement féministe en France. Il pourra accompagner les découvertes et les approfondissements pour tous les publics, à l'université, dans les médias, dans les mouvements militants. En effet, le féminisme reste un mouvement peu connu ; il est pourtant à l'œuvre dans l'une des plus profondes transformations sociétales des deux derniers siècles : le recul de la domination masculine, les progrès de l'égalité des sexes et des libertés, la mise en question de la différenciation hiérarchisée (le genre). Autant de luttes toujours d'actualité, même si le féminisme d'aujourd'hui se différencie des premières mobilisations collectives pour les droits civils et politiques.
