For the last twenty years this book has been cited by every serious
writer on early American constitutional development. Any
constitutional history of the independent United States must begin
with this comprehensive study. Professor Adams combines a European
perspective and a thorough knowledge of the antecedents of 1787 to
create an insightful analysis of the replacement by the
revolutionary generation of one government by another by-they
thought-"constitutional" means. Acting for "the people" in 11 of
the 13 rebelling states, various kinds of self-empowered
committees, "congresses," or "conventions" created new
constitutions and a system in which the states dominated over the
weaker Confederation government. This volume contains two new
chapters: one demonstrating precedents in the state constitutions
for the U.S. Constitution, and another chapter critically testing
the "republicanism over liberalism" thesis against political ideas
and institutional arrangements that constitute the first state
constitutions. The bibliography has been updated to include the
rich body of work written during the last two decades, much of it
indebted to this pioneering study.
This glossary, published in 1888, is the only work of its kind
produced by Decadent and Symbolist writers themselves, and is full
of 'definitions' as mystifying as the words they claim to define.
It offers both a scholarly and a humorous examination of linguistic
innovation and succeeds in showing how literary language remains
subtler and more alive than any of the instruments designed to
explain it. A parody of a glossary as much as a glossary proper,
and produced as a response to critical accusations of obscurity and
preciosity, it assembles an extraordinary array of evocative,
hermetic, and often bizarre examples of Symbolist and Decadent
writing, including luminaries such as Mallarme, Rimbaud, Laforgue
and Verlaine as well as such writers as Feneon, Moreas and Rene
Ghil.This is a volume in the series Textes litteraries/Exeter
French Texts. The text, intorudction and essential notes are all in
French.
Borley Rectory in Essex, built in 1862, should have been an
ordinary Victorian clergyman's house. However, just a year after
its construction, unexplained footsteps were heard within the
house, and from 1900 until it burned down in 1939 numerous
paranormal phenomena, including phantom coaches and shattering
windows, were observed. In 1929 the house was investigated by the
Daily Mail and paranormal researcher Harry Price, and it was he who
called it 'the most haunted house in England.' Price also took out
a lease of the rectory from 1937 to 1938, recruiting forty-eight
'official observers' to monitor occurences. After his death in
1948, the water was muddied by claims that Price's findings were
not genuine paranormal activity, and ever since there has been a
debate over what really went on at Borley Rectory. Paul Adams,
Eddie Brazil and Peter Underwood here present a comprehensive guide
to the history of the house and the ghostly (or not) goings-on
there.

A fresh and far-ranging interpretation of the concept of place,
this volume begins with a fundamental tension of our day: as
communications technologies help create a truly global economy, the
very political-economic processes that would seem to homogenize
place actually increase the importance of individual localities,
which are exposed to global flows of investment, population, goods,
and pollution. Place, no less today than in the past, is
fundamental to how the world works.
The contributors to this volume -- distinguished scholars from
geography, art history, philosophy, anthropology, and American and
English literature -- investigate the ways in which place is
embedded in everyday experience, its crucial role in the formation
of group and individual identity, and its ability to reflect and
reinforce power relations. Their essays draw from a wide array of
methodologies and perspectives -- including feminism, ethnography,
poststructuralism, ecocriticism, and landscape ichnography -- to
examine themes as diverse as morality and imagination, attention
and absence, personal and group identity, social structure, home,
nature, and cosmos.
The haunted history of England's churches and chapels is brought
vividly to life in this comprehensive and beautifully illustrated
modern guide. Here you will encounter the compelling world of the
unseen linked with a thousand years of worship - including the

black-magic ghosts of Clophill, to name but a few. From the authors
of The Borley Rectory Companion comes this astonishing book, which
covers seventy-five of the most notorious and lesser known of our
haunted ecclesiastical buildings. Combining a wealth of historical
and paranormal information with stunning original and atmospheric
photographs, this volume is perfect for researchers and armchair
ghost hunters alike. Paranormal historian Paul Adams and writer and
photographer Eddie Brazil join Peter Underwood, the UK's most
experienced ghost hunter and respected author of over fifty books
on the supernatural, in another literary partnership that will

Murder and ghosts go hand-in-hand and vengeful spectres seeking
justice or haunting the scene of the crime or their killers have
adorned the pages of literature since before Shakespeare. This
chilling collection of true-crime tales dating from the
mid-eighteenth century to the present day all feature some element
of the paranormal. Gathered from across the UK, cases include the
discovery of a body by a spiritualist medium, a murder solved by a
dream of the mother of the victim, and evidence at a Scottish
murder trial provided by the ghost of the victim herself. Featuring
visions, psychometry, ghosts, haunted prisons, possessions, and
spiritualist detectives, this book is a fascinating look at
criminology and ghost hunting. Paranormal historian Paul Adams has
opened the case files of both the criminologist and the ghost
hunter to compile a unique collection of crime from British
history. No true-crime bookshelf is complete without Ghosts &
Gallows.
