Eric Roman is the first scholar to be granted access to the vast,
heretofore closed, archive of documents relating to the communist
era in Hungary. This archive included the files of the Hungarian
Communist Party, the Social Democratic Party and the Hungarian
Socialist Worker's Party, as well as minutes of political committee
meetings, private correspondence, secret papers and confidential
reports on special commissions within Hungary. Skilfully using all
this material, Eric Roman weaves a fascinating portrait of Hungary
in the post-war period. As the country began to reconstruct itself
after the War, Roman shows the toll taken by poverty and racial
discord. In what amounts to the only complete English-language
account of Hungary's diplomatic policy, Hungary and the Victor
Powers takes an in-depth look at Hungary's relationship with those
countries nearest to it, especially the former Yugoslavia and the
Soviet Union. Eric Roman's Hungary and the Victor Powers, 1945-1950
is a compelling work of history that is destined to be one of the
most important books on the topic.
A ground-breaking contribution that broadens our understanding of
the history of prints, this edited volume assembles international
senior and rising scholars and showcases an array of exciting new
research that reassesses the history of women in the graphic arts
c. 1700 to 1830. Sixteen essays present archival findings and
insightful analyses that tell compelling stories about women across
social classes and nations who persevered against the obstacles of
their gender to make vital contributions as creative and skilled
graphic artists, astute entrepreneurs and savvy negotiators of
copyright law in Britain, France, Germany, Holland, Italy and the
United States. The book is a valuable resource for both students
and instructors, offers important new perspectives for print
scholars and aims to provide impetus for further research. This
title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be
available Open Access. Check our website Cambridge Core for

The first book-length study of Horace Walpole’s scandalous The
Mysterious Mother, including critical essays, an abridged script,
and a facsimile edition Horace Walpole’s five-act tragedy
The Mysterious Mother (1768), a sensational tale of incest and
intrigue, was initially circulated only among the author’s
friends. Walpole never permitted it to be performed during his
lifetime except as a private theatrical. He described his play as a
“delicious entertainment for the closet” and claimed that he
“did not think it would do for the stage.” Yet the essays in
this volume trace a history of private readings, amateur
theatricals, and even early public performances, demonstrating that
the play was read and performed more than Walpole’s protests
suggest. Exploring a wide variety of topics—including the
play’s crypto-Catholicism, its treatments of incest, guilt,
motherhood, orphans, and scientific spectacle, and the complex
relations between print and performance—the essays demonstrate
the rich relevance of The Mysterious Mother to current critical
discussions. The volume includes the proceedings of a
mini-conference hosted at Yale University in 2018 on the occasion
of a staged reading of the play. Also included are the director’s
reflections, an abridged script, a facsimile of Walpole’s own
copy of the full-length play, and reproductions of the
illustrations he commissioned from Lady Diana Beauclerk.
Americans are continuously bombarded with deceptive truths,
half-truths and lies about energy, the economy and the environment.
Environmentalists, supported by persuasive scientific data and
research, have successfully advocated the philosophy that unless
America virtually abandons fossil fuels, global temperatures will
continuously increase to the point Earth is no longer suitable for
human life. In reality, pursuing the energy strategy advocated by
environmentalists actually steers America into pointless energy
austerity accomplishing little, if anything to combat global
climate change. Energy austerity erodes the American economy to the
point which the American economy no longer provides the
opportunities for Americans to create better lives for themselves
and their families. Without a strong, vibrant economy America can
do very little to combat global climate change. A point that is
clearly illustrated by the American government's own research, the
results of which are not widely promoted but are readily available
to anyone willing to take the time to search the government's
records. 'Secure Our Ship Fuel America Now ' was written to present
Americans with a concise assessment of America's energy options as
well as the impact of various energy alternatives on America's
economy and the World's environment. 'Secure Our Ship Fuel America
Now ' is written from the perspective of what is in the best
interest of most Americans, (i.e. middle class America). 'Secure
Our Ship Fuel America Now ' clarifies the necessity of American
voters to understand the importance of ignoring the letters D, R, C
and L, (Democrat, Republican, Conservative and Liberal), and vote
based political candidates' position on the single letter (E) for
Energy, Economy, Environment, Education and Employment. 'Secure Our
Ship Fuel America Now ' is carefully written without the influence
of environmentalists, the energy industry, politicians or other
special interest groups. 'Secure Our Ship Fuel America Now ' is
composed to provide Americans clear insight how America must
utilize all available natural energy resources augmented by newly
evolving and exciting energy related technology which increases
energy efficiency plus reducing the environmental impact of
production and consumption of America's natural energy resources.
'Secure Our Ship Fuel America Now ' provides insight into the
benefits and limitations of renewable and green energy options.
'Secure Our Ship Fuel America Now ' clearly illustrates what
Americans can do to bring about an economy which will allow
Americans to reclaim many of the jobs and opportunities which were
lost to other countries. 'Secure Our Ship Fuel America Now '
identifies how Americans can motivate elected politicians to use
energy for the creation of new jobs and opportunities for all
Americans. 'Secure Our Ship Fuel America Now ' illuminates how
Americans will create the economy essential to confront global
climate change in an aggressive and effective manner. Any American
wanting to really understand how important energy is for their
future as well as the future of their children and generations to
come, 'Secure Our Ship Fuel America Now ' is a must read. Nowhere
else can an American invest so little money and time to learn so
much about America's energy options. Nowhere else can Americans
gain insight into the positive and negative implications of the
many energy options available to America than in 'Secure Our Ship
Fuel America Now ' If Americans really want to return jobs,
opportunity and prosperity to America, 'Secure Our Ship Fuel
America Now ' provides the road map for success.
