In 1432, poet John Lydgate was commissioned to commemorate the triumphal entry of Henry VI to London. Setting the scene, Lydgate wrote of ‘this Citee with laude, pris, and glorie/For joye moustred lyke the sonne beem’.1 He described the participants in this civic muster in terms of their clothing: the mayor in red velvet, the sheriffs and aldermen in scarlet furred …
While we were researching theatre in towns for this book, a perfor-mance was taking place across Europe.

Little Amal travelled more than 8000 kilometres be…

Everyday streets are both the most used and the most undervalued of cities’ public spaces. They constitute the inclusive backbone of urban life – the chief civic amenity – though they are challenged by optimisation processes.

“There was no such thing as the Scientific Revolution, and this is a book about it” (Shapin 1996, 1). So began Stephen Shapin’s The Scientific Revolution, a work, con-cise and smart, that embodied an approach to the history of science termed “the social construction of science.” Shapin argued that if we are going to talk about a “scientific revolution,” then we need to see it not …

Barry Unsworth, the British Booker Prize- winning author, was, in a sense, the creative catalyst for this volume. While researching the late- twentieth- century revival of Euripides’ Iphigenia at Aulis on international stages, Edith Hall was led from drama to fi ction by reading Unsworth’s 2002 novel, Th e Songs of the Kings . 1Unsworth’s novel pinpointed on…
A child was born, in the dead of night, to a wealthy family in the South-West Territory. The young mother lay sunk in heavy languor; but when the infant's first cry sounded, low and plaintive, she began to toss feverishly on her bed. Her eyes were shut, but her lips moved, whispering, and her pale face, still soft of outline almost as a child's, twisted as though in suffering and impatient prot…

In June 2018, in preparation for writing this chapter, I undertook two distinct searches. The first was of Oxford college and faculty libraries (around 40 in all), using the search tool SOLO (Search Oxford Libraries Online). The second, of local charity shops around Oxford, I undertook on foot. In both I was looking for copies of historical novels by British women writers of the mid-…
One of the many exhortations to children to help with the war effort was issued by the Ministry of Information in 1941; its opening paragraph is our opening quotation and its title, which we have borrowed for this book, is ‘You Can Help Your Country’. In the book, we address a neglected topic that is, nevertheless, a part of the history of childhood in twentieth-cent…
This comparative volume advances an argument about the sustained contribu-tion of migrants to Europe’s literatures, social cultures, and arts.Firstly, those named most often by others as “migrants” do not represent a sudden, unprecedented crisis, as pundits and politicians continue to claim, with successive waves of migration. Instead, people arriving in the Spanish enclaves in Morocco, l…
“We need to talk about Hippocrates. Current scholarship attributes none of the works of the ‘Hippocratic corpus’ to him, and the ancient biographical traditions of his life are not only late, but also written for their own promotional purposes. Yet Hippocrates features powerfully in our assumptions about ancient medicine, and our beliefs about what medicine – and the physician himself …

Thus through his knowledge he made himself the Sun who was thus created and is the great Father. The dark spaces brightened with lig…
