Die Glaubensspaltung zwischen Katholiken und Protestanten prägte im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert die Geschichte Europas. Die Entstehung und Ausdifferenzierung der großen christlichen Konfessionen gehört daher traditionell zu den Grundproblemen historischer Forschung. Vor dem Hintergrund neuester Erkenntnisse widmet sich dieses Buch nun der Frage, wie es Menschen unterschiedlichen Glaubens gelang, ihren gemeinsamen Alltag zu meistern – und wie sie so den Ausbruch brutaler Religionskonflikte verhinderten. Im Fokus steht ein Land, das wie kaum ein anderes bis heute durch das Erbe der Glaubensspaltung geprägt ist: Irland. Erstmals bringt die Studie neue kulturhistorische Konzepte und klassische Forschungsansätze zusammen und entwirft so das Bild einer Epoche, deren religiös-konfessionelle Praxis durch Normenvielfalt und Diversität entscheidend geprägt wurde – ein entscheidendes Fundament des Miteinanders der Konfessionen. Damit zeichnet die Studie ein neues Bild religiös-konfessioneller Koexistenz in der Frühen Neuzeit. Protestants shaped the history of Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. By examining previously unknown sources, this book asks how people of different faiths managed to share everyday life – thus preventing the outbreak of brutal religious conflicts. The example of Ireland paints a new picture of religious and confessional coexistence in the early modern period.

This open access book explores the role of religion in England's overseas companies and the formation of English governmental identity abroad in the seventeenth century. Drawing on research into the Virginia, East India, Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, New England and Levant Companies, it offers a comparative global assessment of the inextricable links between the formation of English overseas government and various models of religious governance across England's emerging colonial empire. While these approaches to governance varied from company to company, each sought to regulate the behaviour of their personnel, as well as the numerous communities and faiths which fell within their jurisdiction. This book provides a crucial reassessment of the seventeenth-century foundations of British imperial governance.

On Monday 19 September 1803, the most significant trial in the history of Ireland took place in Dublin. At the dock stood a twenty-five year old former Trinity College student and doctor's son. His name was Robert Emmet and he was standing trial for heading a rebellion on 23 July 1803. The iconic power of Robert Emmet in Irish history cannot be overstated. Emmet looms large in narratives of the past, yet the rebellion, which he led, remains to be fully contextualised. Patterson's book repairs this omission and explains the complex process of politicisation and revolutionary activity extending.

"The British Empire was an astonishingly complex and varied phenomenon, not to be reduced to any of the simple generalisations or theories that are often taken to characterise it. One way of illustrating this, and so conveying some of the subtle flavour of the thing itself, is to descend from the over-arching to the particular, and describe and discuss aspects of it in detail. This book, by the well-known imperial historian Bernard Porter, ranges among a wide range of the events and personalities that shaped or were shaped by British imperialism, or by its decline in the post-war years. These include chapters on science, drugs, battles, proconsuls, an odd assortment of imperialists including Kipling, Lady Hester Stanhope and TE Lawrence, architecture, music, the role of MI6 and the reputation of the Empire since its demise. Together the chapters inform, explain, provoke, and occasionally amuse; but above all they demonstrate the kaleidoscopic variety and ambivalence of Britain s imperial history.""--Bloomsbury publishing.
