Extractions: A review of the volume The Age of Transition; the archaeology of English Culture 1400-1600 was written by Dave Evans. This collection of essays is based upon papers delivered at a joint conference of the Societies for Medieval Archaeology and Post-Medieval Archaeology, which was held in London in 1996, to explore such well-loved themes as when did the medieval period cease and the post-medieval era begin, and was it a seamless transition, or were some aspects long-lived and common to both eras. The editors have opted to keep the same title for the volume as was used for the original conference; whilst that decision may have assisted its marketing (i.e. delegates could easily identify the volume with the conference), it has proved to be rather misleading as a guide to the contents for any potential readers who were not present at the original proceedings. One of the first things to strike this reviewer was that there was very little agreement amongst the contributors as to whether there even was an 'Age of Transition', let alone when that might have been - and few, if any, were happy with the notion that it took place between 1400 and 1600. The widest scope of any of these essays is to cover the period from 1200 to 1800, whilst the narrowest restricts itself to the period 1450 to 1560. Most contributors seem to prefer to begin their studies at c.
Extractions: A review of the volume German Stoneware 1200-1900: archaeology and cultural history . Was written by Dave Evans. Chapter 3 ('Imports and exports: the international stoneware trade') is a personal tour de force The data concerning all of the German, Baltic and eastern European markets will probably be unfamiliar to many English readers - for example, so much of the material from the former East Germany has come from very recent excavations, or has not previously been widely available in a published form. The British section constitutes the first major review of the evidence to be published since 1983 [when both Ceramics and trade et al. 's The Scottish medieval town The chapter on 'stoneware as a utilitarian and social medium' is very welcome; this will doubtless be used as a rich source of contemporary illustrations for lectures, popular booklets and exhibitions. It is well-written, and, thankfully, free of the jargon and heavy symbolism which usually mars works on this theme; however, I think that most readers might have grasped the significance of the white lilies in the pots, as representing the Virgin's purity, on perhaps the third mention, without it being reiterated as a mantra throughout the chapter. Chapter 5 ('pots, prints and propaganda') tackles a theme which has been seldom examined in any detail in earlier standard works, and brings out the influence of published prints and designs on the decoration used on Renaissance stoneware (whether it be trailing botanical motifs, or depictions of

Extractions: Modern History There are some twenty full-time academic staff in the Department of Modern History at Birmingham University covering just about every conceivable aspect of British and European history from around 1500 to the present. How did England become a Protestant society? Why did Calvinism catch on in Transylvania? Why was Poland destroyed as a state in the 18 th century? Why have some English banks helped the local economy more than others? Why has smoking and tobacco come to play such a large part in modern British culture? What impact did the French revolution have upon village life in France? Were British generals in the First World War really as bad as is commonly believed? These are just a random sample of the kinds of questions members of the department have investigated. Whether it is cultural or social history, military or political history, economic or religious history, there is someone doing that kind of history in the department. This great range is reflected in what students can study. Courses on Offer Nation-State and Nationalism in Modern Europe (Semester I) This course focuses on how and why the nation-state has come to be viewed as the normal form of political organization in Europe. Consideration will be given to such themes as the formation of the nation-state; changing ideas of citizenship; the development of national economies, institutions and cultures, the impact of total war, the welfare state and the effect of European integration on the nation-state.

Extractions: Buckram Bound The development of landscape painting in England during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries has attracted considerable attention. The art of Gainsborough, Stubbs, Constable, Turner and the Norwich School is accepted as part of the British heritage, and the countryside as depicted by these artists is familiar not only to the specialist, but to most of us today. Nevertheless, this was an artificial landscape, one that had been created by the improving farmers of the period. The changes in the British landscape as a result of the new farming methods introduced by the agricultural revolution of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries is the theme of Dr. Fussell's study. The author examines the introduction of the new methods of farming in the seventeenth century, the growing adoption of the new systems that led to the numerous Enclosure Acts of the eighteenth century, the consequent transformation of the countryside, and the growth of demand for landscape painting among the nobility and richer lando
British Archaeology, No 51, February 2000: Books to emerge as something recognisably medieval and european. including theIberian peninsula, Germany and the low countries, and the British Isles. http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba51/ba51book.html
Extractions: ISBN 0-00-225969-9 hb It is notoriously difficult to write a prehistorical novel with any hope of accuracy. How can you guess at the mindset of a people who have left no written records? And even if you guess correctly, how will anyone know if you're right? There is nevertheless a hunger for these books, as shown by the American Jean Auel's multi-million selling Clan of the Cave Bear sequence. Cynics see her stories as little more than proto-feminist sex romps - the gorgeously blond Ayla searching for true love amongst the Neanderthals - but the general public loves them. And for a lot of people, this is where their knowledge of prehistoric times begins and ends. Whether it was the lure of such a lucrative market or some deeper affinity with the subject which drew Bernard Cornwell, author of the Sharpe series of books, to write about Stonehenge, the result is surprisingly pleasing. Cornwell bases his novel on two of the archaeological finds from Stonehenge. One was an archer, with a stone bracer to protect his wrist from the lash of the bowstring, buried beside Stonehenge's north-eastern entrance, who had been killed, evidently at close quarters, by three arrows. The other find was a group of three gold lozenges from one of the burial mounds closest to the monument.

Each volume of MEC provides an authoritative, up-to-date account of the coinage of an area, written by experts in the field. The text is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue of the coins in the unrivalled collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, which has largely been formed by Professor Philip Grierson The first volume of MEC was published in 1986, and the critically-acclaimed volume 14 on Southern Italy appeared in 1998.
