![]() ![]() During World War I, while teaching at the University of Ghent, he was arrested for supporting Belgium's passive resistance and deported to Germany, where he was held from 1916 to 1918. Pirenne was one of the world's leading historians and arguably the most famous Belgium had produced. The Pirenne thesis was fully worked out in the book Mohammed and Charlemagne, which appeared shortly after Pirenne's death. In addition, Pirenne describes the clear role the middle class played in the development of the modern economic system and modern culture. In the book Pirenne traces the growth of the medieval city from the tenth century to the twelfth, challenging conventional wisdom by attributing the origins of medieval cities to the revival of trade. Pirenne first formulated his thesis in articles and then expanded on them in Medieval Cities. The consequent interruption of long distance commerce accelerated the decline of the ancient cities of Europe. Henri Pirenne is best known for his provocative argument-known as the Pirenne thesis and familiar to all students of medieval Europe-that it was not the invasion of the Germanic tribes that destroyed the civilization of antiquity, but rather the closing of Mediterranean trade by Arab conquest in the seventh century. ![]() ![]() This handbook is intended for researchers in a variety of academic disciplines but also for government, think-tank, and private-sector researchers.

To make a point about the objectified status of the mother in Roland Barthes’s Camera Lucida (1980), Gallop discussed photographs of herself naked in the bathtub with her baby son. Nelson recalls a seminar she once attended featuring feminist theorist Jane Gallop and art historian Rosalind Krauss. And a friend reacts to a personalized mug in her cupboard featuring a pregnant Nelson with her stepson and her partner, artist Harry Dodge (who identifies as neither male nor female), dressed up to see the Nutcracker: ‘ I’ve never seen anything so heteronormative in all my life.’ These are not only snapshots of Nelson’s life: they are negatives of a cultural binary that places mothering on the side of normativity, cordoning it off from the rigors of intellectualism, even in supposedly radical feminist and queer circles. ![]() Returning to work after the birth of her son, a colleague reassures her that, eventually, she will get back to writing.

She was the fashion icon of her day, the leader of the bon ton, and her raiment was the subject of discussion and imitation in all fashionable circles. Her family was slightly lower in social status than the Devonshires, but, far from being intimidated, she blossomed, became her own person, and was eventually known and loved not only by those of her own class but by the people of England. In 1774 she married the most eligible bachelor in the land, the fifth Duke of Devonshire. She was pretty, intelligent and confident, but at the same time respectful and obedient. Lady Georgiana Spencer (1757 – 1806) was a lovely and much-loved child. ![]() This article has been posted with the permission of Dr Schraibman A Dead Disease, As Illustrated By The Illness Of Georgiana, Duchess Of Devonshire I. ![]() ![]() ![]() Items shipped back to us are subject to a restocking fee equal to the price of any return label we generate, or 10%, whichever is greater. ![]() Pickup orders cancelled before they are picked up may be subject to a 10% restocking fee.

At times the description of sailing through rough seas is strong enough to make the reader almost feel seasick. The book captures the rituals of life at sea and goes into the heart of the action. It tells the story of HMS Compass Rose, a corvette, and HMS Saltash, a frigate, and the crews who sailed them from 1939 to 1945. ![]() ![]() It focuses on the relationship between Captain George Ericson and a reserve officer who becomes his Number One, Keith Lockhart.
