Brings together historians of popular politics, the civil wars, state welfare, and criminal justice to unveil the widespread influence of petitions in shaping politics and social dynamics in Early Modern Britain. The humble petition was ubiquitous in early modern society and featured prominently in crucial moments such as the outbreak of civil wars and in everyday local negotiations about taxation, welfare, and litigation. People at all levels of society, from noblemen to paupers, used petitions to make their voices heard, and these are valuable sources for mapping the structures of authority and agency that framed early modern society. The Power of Petitioning in Early Modern Britain offers a holistic study of this crucial topic in early modern British history. The contributors to this volume survey a vast range of sources, showing the myriad ways people petitioned the authorities from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. They cross the jurisdictional, sub-disciplinary, and chronological boundaries that have otherwise constrained the current scholarly literature on petitioning and popular political engagement. Teasing out broad conclusions from innumerable smaller interventions in public life, they not only address the aims, attitudes, and strategies of those involved but also assess the significance of the processes they used. This volume makes it possible to rethink the power of petitioning and to re-evaluate broad trends regarding political culture, institutional change, and state formation.

A critique of current childcare systems, advocating for a transformative shift towards universal, publicly supported early childhood education and parenting leave. Written by two leading experts in early childhood education, Early Childhood in the Anglosphere offers a unique comparison of early childhood education and care services and parenting leave across seven high-income Anglophone countries. Peter Moss and Linda Mitchell explore what these systems have in common, including the dominance of childcare services, widespread privatization and marketization, and weak parenting leave. They highlight the substantial failings of these systems and the causes and consequences of these failings. But this book is ultimately about hope, about how these failings might be made good through major changes. In other words, it is about transformation: Why transformation is both necessary and possible at this particular time? What transformation might look like? And how it might happen? Part of that transformation concerns the need for new policies and structures. Furthermore, it is about how the Anglosphere thinks about early childhood. The authors call for a turn away from speaking of early childhood services as "childcare," conceptualizing it in terms of business and marketized commodities. Instead, they should be envisaged as a public good with universal access for children, supported by well-paid, individual entitlements to parenting leave. Using examples from the Anglosphere and beyond, the book argues that a transformation of thinking, policies, and structures is desirable and doable.

The first English-language collection of critical essays by Gianni Celati, one of Italy's most important contemporary authors. Selected Essays and Dialogues is a collection of translations of Italian essayist Gianni Celati's theoretical and musing work from the late 1960s to the present. Its topics range from environmental perception and archaeological conceptions of historical knowledge to street theater, writing, photography, cinema, and translation. The book provides a framework of key literary, theoretical, and artistic movements of the past fifty years, as well as a guide for English-language readers to place Celati's work in historical, cultural, and biographical contexts. Celati's fondness for the unexpected ordinary tempts readers to wander and become lost in the webs of his daring thoughts. Indeed, a genial adventurousness can be found within all of his writings collected here, driven by an affectionate and light-hearted engagement with the surrounding world. This collection offers a taste of his adventures of the mind and body, led by a lithe sensitivity not restricted to the so-called high arts or letters, but also very much engaged with the everyday lives, places, and tales we all constantly share.

Focusing primarily on local government in South African cities, the book draws on officials' first-experiences and ethnographies to investigate how far 'progressive' city authorities reduce inequalities. Day-to-day practices question generalised explanations of state failure and the book aims to open paths for achievable alternative urban policies.

An accessible exploration of the methodology of the history of reading. Few articles in the humanities have had the impact of Lisa Jardine and Anthony Grafton's seminal "Studied for Action," a study of the reading practices of Elizabethan polymath and prolific annotator Gabriel Harvey. Their excavation of the setting, methods, and ambitions of Harvey's encounters with his books ignited a new interdisciplinary field, the history of reading, which quickly became one of the most exciting corners of the scholarly cosmos. A generation inspired by the model of Harvey fanned out across the world's libraries and archives, seeking to reveal the many creative, unexpected, and curious ways that individuals throughout history responded to texts, and how these interpretations, in turn, illuminate past worlds. Three decades on, Harvey's example and Jardine's work remain central to cutting-edge scholarship in the history of reading. By uniting "Studied for Action" with new studies on Gabriel Harvey, some of which are published here for the first time, by Jardine, Grafton, and the scholars they have influenced, this collection provides a unique lens on the place of marginalia in textual, intellectual, and cultural history. The chapters capture subsequent work on Harvey and map the fields opened by Jardine and Grafton's original article, collectively offering a posthumous tribute to Lisa Jardine and an authoritative overview of the History of Reading.
