One of the most original aspects of life at Little Gidding was the 'Little Academy' founded by Nicholas Ferrar, his nieces and some other members of the community for their common instruction and enjoyment. At regular meetings, members of the Little Academy took it in turns to relate 'stories' based on historical or current events. Ferrar kept transcripts both of the stories and of the subsequent social and personal applications, from which Mr Williams has reproduced two of the 'Conversations' which occupied the family attention for some time. The conversation centred on the resignation of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V elicited lengthy discussions of what the Ferrars felt to be the degeneracy of their own times in public and private life. The family concern with austerity in diet frequently diverged into general criticism of the licence and luxury of the upper classes in the early 1600s. Mr Williams has provided a very full introduction and notes describing the members of the Little Academy and giving the background of the two dialogues that he has reproduced.

Die Anthroposophie Rudolf Steiners (1861-1925) ist eine esoterische Großmacht. Zu ihrem Netzwerk gehören Hochschulen und die Waldorfpädagogik, biodynamische Bauernhöfe und Krankenhäuser, irgendwie auch profitable Banken und der "Omnibus für direkte Demokratie", Kosmetika und dm-Märkte, eine Esoterische Schule und der Mondkalender nach Maria Thun. Silvio Berlusconi und Helmut Kohl haben ihre Kinder auf Waldorfschulen geschickt, der ehemalige Innenminister Otto Schily hielt die Existenz von "Luzifer" und "Ahriman" für verbürgt. Aber welche Überzeugungen stehen dahinter? Welche anthroposophischen Organisationen gibt es? Wie sieht ihre Innenwelt aus? Und welche Macht besitzen sie? Helmut Zander kartiert die schwer überschaubare Welt der Anthroposophie und bietet Einschätzungen von Stärken und Schwächen der anthroposophischen Pädagogik, Landwirtschaft und Medizin.

Theodoret's People sheds new light on religious clashes of the mid-fifth century regarding the nature (or natures) of Christ. Adam M. Schor focuses on Theodoret, bishop of Cyrrhus, his Syrian allies, and his opponents, led by Alexandrian bishops Cyril and Dioscorus. Although both sets of clerics adhered to the Nicene creed, their contrasting theological statements led to hostilities, violence, and the permanent fracturing of the Christian community. Schor closely examines council transcripts, correspondence, and other records of communication. Using social network theory, he argues that Theodoret's doctrinal coalition was actually a meaningful community, bound by symbolic words and traditions, riven with internal rivalries, and embedded in a wider world of elite friendship and patronage.

A reappraisal of Bede's writings, focusing on his use of genre and rhetoric. The church history of the Anglo-Saxons can only be approached through the lens of a few writers, arguably the greatest of whom is Bede; his works illuminate an otherwise impoverished landscape of ecclesial development from conversion to established Christian church amongst the Anglo-Saxons. Bede, however, had his own agendas - monastic, political, and rhetorical. In her reappraisal of Bede's 'Ecclesiastical History, Lives of the Saints, History of the Abbots', the 'Lesser' and 'Greater Chronicles' and the 'Martyrology' and the audience for these texts, the author draws out the role played by classical forms of genre and rhetoric in the crafting of his work.She also explores the underlying political influences that caused Bede to write 'historia' as he did. In particular, she notes the role of 'historia' in monastic affairs, especially through the generation of a rhetoric of orthodoxy and the power of the cultural capital afforded by this within the relatively newly constituted Christian community in Northumbria. Dr VICKY GUNN is Senior Lecturer, Learning and Teaching Centre, University of Glasgow.
