Restoration Politics, Religion and Culture

Britain and Ireland, 1660-1714

By: George Southcombe,Grant Tapsell

This indispensable introductory guide offers students a number of highly focused chapters on key themes in Restoration history. Each addresses a core question relating to the period 1660-1714, and uses artistic and literary sources – as well as more traditional texts of political history – to illustrate and illuminate arguments. George Southcombe and Grant Tapsell provide clear analyses of different aspects of the era whilst maintaining an overall coherence based on three central propositions: - 1660-1714 represents a political world fundamentally influenced by the civil wars and interregnum - The period can best be understood by linking together types of evidence too often separated in conventional accounts - The high politics of kings and their courts should be examined within broader social and geographical contexts Featuring chapters on the exclusion crisis, Charles II and James VII/II, as well as the British dimension, restoration culture, and politics out-of-doors, this is essential reading for anyone studying this fascinating period in British history.

Conversations with General Grant

An Informal Biography

By: Thomas Grant McConnell

National Endowment for the Humanities Survey reveals that only 406 of 700 college seniors were able to answer correctly in which half-century the Civil War took place. This distressing statistic is not only an indictment of the nation's educational system, it also points an accusing finger at the textbooks & histories which line the shelves of libraries & bookstores. This book will not reform our school program. It will, however, present a different concept of the way that historical biographies may be written. In this book, the author, a retired Air Force colonel & former Director of Military History at The National War College, encapsulates the dominant personalities of the Civil War & many of the events into just 245 easily read pages. Despite its conciseness, the author analyzes Grant's attributes & failings & leads the reader through the legendary minefield of Grant myths to a clear understanding of this much maligned man. Thoroughly dissected are subjects as Grant's reputation as an alcoholic, his meteoric rise from despondent store clerk to Commanding General & the dark cloud of failure which hovered over him in civilian life. Blended with Grant's story are graphic descriptions of the bloody battles as well as his relations with Lincoln, Lee & others.

Collected Works of George Grant

Vol. 4: 1970 - 1988

By: Arthur Davis,Henry Roper Roper,Sheila Grant

George Grant (1918-88) has often been called Canada's greatest political philosopher and his work continues to influence the country's political, social, and cultural discourse and institutions. The fourth and final volume of the Collected Works of George Grant contains his writings from the last period of his life and includes unpublished material such as lectures, interviews, and excerpts from his notebooks. With comprehensive annotations for his articles, reviews, and the three books he published during this period - Time as History, English-Speaking Justice, and Technology and Justice - the volume also contains his writings on Nietzsche, Heidegger Simone Weil, and Céline that were central to this phase of his thought. Volume 4 reveals his engagement with technology and the nature of technological society that is as insightful today as during Grant's lifetime and is lasting proof of his legacy. Arthur Davis is Associate Professor in the School of Social Sciences, Atkinson Faculty of Liberal and Professional Studies, York University. During the 1950's, he studied undergraduate philosophy with George Grant.
