Bringing together the work of leading scholars of religion in
imperial Japan and colonial Korea, this collection addresses the
complex ways in which religion served as a site of contestation and
negotiation among different groups, including the Korean Choson
court, the Japanese colonial government, representatives of
different religions, and Korean and Japanese societies. It
considers the complex religious landscape as well as the
intersection of historical and political contexts that shaped the
religious beliefs and practices of imperial and colonial subjects,
offering a constructive contribution to contemporary conflicts that
are rooted in a contested understanding of a complex and painful
past and the unresolved history of Japan's colonial and imperial
presence in Asia. Religion is a critical aspect of the current
controversies and their historical contexts. Examining the complex
and diverse ways that the state, and Japanese and colonial subjects
negotiated religious policies, practices, and ministries in an
attempt to delineate these "imperial relationships," this cutting
edge text sheds considerable light on the precedents to current
sources of tension.

Croce admired Goethe partly because the latter possessed a
knowledge of human nature in all its aspects but nonetheless kept
his mind above and beyond political sympathies and the quarrels of
nations. In this volume originally published in English in 1923,
Croce distils his critical ideas about Goethe with the aim of
helping readers to better understand the German poet's work.
Christianity and Imperialism in Modern Japan explores how Japanese
Protestants engaged with the unsettling changes that resulted from
Japan's emergence as a world power in the early twentieth century.
Through this analysis, the book offers a new perspective on the
intersection of religion and imperialism in modern Japan. Emily
Anderson reassesses religion as a critical site of negotiation
between the state and its subjects as part of Japan's emergence as
a modern nation-state and colonial empire. The book shows how
religion, including its adherents and the state's attempts to
determine acceptable belief, is a necessary subject of study for a
nuanced understanding of modern Japanese history.

By using different kinds of materials and links between various
disciplines and subject areas, this book aims to both explain
certain features of Italian historical development and provoke
further discussion. Designed as a teaching text around broad
thematic chapters - the nation, the state, economy and society,
politics - it introduces the reader to historical debates, themes,
controversies and arguments. Boxes at the end of each chapter
provide useful further information for students.
This book explores how humorous depictions of the Great War helped
to familiarise, domesticate and tame the conflict. In
contrast to the well-known First World War literature
that focuses on extraordinary emotional disruption and the extremes
of war, this study shows other writers used humour to create a
gentle, mild amusement, drawing on familiar, popular genres and
forms used before 1914. Emily Anderson argues that this
humorous literature helped to transform the war into quotidian
experience. Based on little-known primary material uncovered
through detailed archival research, the book focuses on works that,
while written by celebrated authors, tend not to be placed in the
canon of Great War literature. Each chapter examines key examples
of literary texts, ranging from short stories and poetry, to
theatre and periodicals. In doing so, the book investigates the
complex political and social significance of this tame style of
humour.
