Research into the ways in which the past is constructed and
consumed in the present is now reaching a mature stage. This
maturity derives from the general acceptance that heritage as a
social and cultural construct is closely connected to the making
and maintaining of identity at all spatial scales. This unique book
contributes to the developing discourse by focusing on 'heritage
from below' in a field where the literature on the relationship
between heritage and identity has, rightly, been focused on
national identity. Never before have the contemporary
manifestations and the theoretical structuring framework of the
idea of heritage from below been discussed in the depth offered by
this book. The authors first establish the concept and then engage
with the actual practice and practitioners of heritage from below
in the UK, Europe, Australia and North America.
In November 1918, the implementation of agrarian change in the
Scottish Highlands threatened another wave of unemployment and
eviction for the land-working population, which led to widespread
and varied social protest. Those who had been away on war service
(and their families) faced returning to exactly the same social and
economic conditions in the Scottish Highlands they had hoped they
had left behind in the struggle to make 'a land fit for heroes'.
Widespread and varied social protest rapidly followed. It argues
that, previously, there has been a failure to capture fully the
geography, chronology typology and rate of occurrence of these
events. The book not only offers new insights and a greater
understanding of what was happening in the Highlands in this
period, but illustrates how a range of forms of protest were used
which demand attention, not least for the fact that these events,
unlike most of the earlier Land Wars period, were successful. There
are functioning townships in the Highlands today that owe their
existence to the land invasions of the 1920s. The book innovatively
concentrates on formulating explanation and interpretation from
within and looks to the crofting landscape as base, means and
motive to disturbance and interpretation. It proposes that protest
is much more convincingly understood as an expression of
environmental ethics from 'the bottom up' coming increasingly into
conflict with conservationist views expressed from 'the top down'
It focuses on individual case studies in order to engage more
convincingly with an important evidential base - that of popular
memory of land disturbances - and to adopt a frame and lens through
which to explore the fluid and contingent nature of protest
performances. Based upon the belief that in the study of landscapes
of social protest the old shibboleth of space as solely passive
setting and symbolic register is no longer tenable is paid here to
nature/culture interactions, to vernacular ecological b
This volume combines two classic works on Hamlet, first published
in 1919 and 1922. The first book's original description says that
it contains a theory which attempts to explain an everlasting
problem - it insists that Hamlet is neither a failure not an
accident, but a very great work of art. In a final chapter, the
play is examined as an aesthetic document. It is a profoundly
interesting and not unprovocative work. The second book reviews and
attempts to resolve the most interesting debate of any Shakespeare
play and presents proper method for investigating the genesis of
the plays in this way.

This book offers the first systematic study of how elite
conservation schemes and policies define once customary and
vernacular forms of managing common resources as banditry-and how
the 'bandits' fight back. Drawing inspiration from Karl Jacoby's
seminal Crimes against Nature, this book takes Jacoby's moral
ecology and extends the concept beyond the founding of American
national parks. From eighteenth-century Europe, through settler
colonialism in Africa, Australia and the Americas, to postcolonial
Asia and Australia, Moral Ecologies takes a global stance and a
deep temporal perspective, examining how the language and practices
of conservation often dispossess Indigenous peoples and settlers,
and how those groups resist in everyday ways. Drawing together
archaeologists, anthropologists, geographers and historians, this
is a methodologically diverse and conceptually innovative study
that will appeal to anyone interested in the politics of
conservation, protest and environmental history.
