The publication of the following material on the history of Vpered
represents the fulfilment of a duty both to the founders of the
International Institute of Social History and to Nadezhda
Nikolaevna Kolachevskaia and Valerian Valerianovich Kolachevskii,
who handed over to the Institute so long ago as 1936 the papers of
their late husband and father, Valerian a Nikolaevich Smirnov. )
The Institute undertook at that time to publish these papers, and
V. V. Kolachevskii planned to use them in compiling a biography of
his father. The Second World War and its consequences imposed
changes in these plans. The biography of V. N. Smirnov remained
unwritten, and work on the publication of documents from his papers
was interrupted for a quarter of a century. First, however, some
particulars of these papers. We are here concerned with that
section of them which relates to a remarkable literary organ of the
Russian revolutionary Populist move ment, the occasional symposia
and the fortnightly newspaper, both called Vpered, founded by Petr
Lavrovich Lavrov in 1873. Lavrov was the sole editor of the four
volumes of occasional symposia (the fourth volume contains only one
issue) which were published in Zurich and London between 1873 and
1876, and the 48 issues of the fortnightly newspaper published in
London in 1875 and 1876."

This panoramic account of political culture in the Soviet Union, by
one of the leading voices of unofficial radical socialism, examines
the way in which cultural life in the arts, philosophy and
historiography has been able to withstand the persistent efforts of
the "statocracy" to extinguish independent thought.
This is an English translation of important writings on the Thirty
Years' War by the great Soviet historian B. F. Porshnev. Little is
known of the Muscovite contribution to the conflict and Paul Dukes
- arguably Britain's senior historian of ancien regime Russia - has
selected the most valuable areas of Porshnev's unparalleled
archival research to fill a crucial gap in the literature of the
seventeenth century. In placing this work in the context of
Porshnev's larger undertaking, Professor Dukes' substantial
introduction assesses Porshnev's critics and evaluates his
contribution to our understanding of the Thirty Years' War and of
relations between Eastern and Western Europe at the time. A
significant reinterpretation of a fascinating period, the book will
interest both Russian specialists and those working more generally
in seventeenth- century European history.
As an introduction to her detailed study Professor Lublinskaya
presents a summary and critique of the whole 'general crisis'
interpretation of seventeenth-century European history which is
regularly a subject for heated debate among Western historians.
However, it is as a specialist in the history of
seventeenth-century France that Professor Lublinskaya approaches
the problem of the general crisis. The major part of her book is a
detailed analysis of the political, social and economic history of
the France of Louis XIII - a crucial period for the development of
the French monarchy.
A History of Everyday Things is a pioneering essay by one of the world's leading cultural historians that sheds light on the origins of the consumer society, and thereby the birth of the modern world. Things that we regard as the everyday objects of consumption have not always been so: how, therefore, have people in the modern world become "prisoners of objects," as Rousseau put it? Daniel Roche answers this fundamental question of historical anthropology, and imaginatively explores the origins of the daily furnishings of modern life.

The Religion of the Poor is an ambitious survey of Catholic
missions into the European countryside from 1500 to 1800. The
acclaimed French historian Louis Chatellier analyses the impulses
to missionary activity at the end of the Middle Ages, and the
specific conception of Ignatius Loyola. He then outlines in detail
the development of missionary activity after the Council of Trent.
In the second part Professor Chatellier discusses the type of
religion proffered by the missionaries, examining a variety of key
themes in Catholic belief, including the role of deity, of the
cross, and of Satan. The book contains a concluding summary of the
impact of these rural missions up to the French Revolution, and
documents the way in which they changed in reaction to external
social and political circumstance.
This is the first English translation of important writings on the Thirty Years' War by the great Soviet historian B.F. Porshnev. Dukes has selected the most enlightening areas of Porshnev's unparalleled research to fill a crucial gap in our understanding of the conflict, and has set Porshnev's work firmly in context with a comprehensive introduction and evaluation. A significant reinterpretation of a fascinating period, the book will interest Russian specialists and those working generally around seventeenth century European history.
This book is the result of a research project begun by the author
in 1958 with the aim of answering two questions:
First, what is the rationality of the economic systems that appear
and disappear throughout history--in other words, what is their
hidden logic and the underlying necessity for them to exist, or to
have existed?
Second, what are the conditions for a rational understanding of
these systems--in other words, for a fully developed comparative
economic science?
The field of investigation opened up by these two questions is
vast, touching on the foundations of social reality and on how to
understand them. The author, being a Marxist, sought the answers,
as he writes, 'not in philosophy or by philosophical means, but in
and through examining the knowledge accumulated by the sciences.'
The stages of his journey from philosophy to economics and then to
anthropology are indicated by the divisions of his book.
Godelier rejects, at the outset, any attempt to tackle the question
of rationality or irrationality of economic science and of economic
realities from the angle of an a priori idea, a speculative
definition of what is rational. Such an approach can yield only, he
feels, an ideological result. Rather, he treats the appearance and
disappearance of social and economic systems in history as being
governed by a necessity 'wholly internal to the concrete structures
of social life.
