Jerusalem 1918–1926
Author:
Addressing Zionists in 1923, the British artist C. R. Ashbee spoke of “that preposterous Balfour Declaration whose Arabic tail you people perpetually ignore, but the lash of which you will some day feel.” His warnings received no attention at the time, nor has his radical pro-Arab Palestinian political position been researched since. One hundred years later, this art historical study asks what possibilities individual colonial actors had to influence official colonial policy. In the example of Jerusalem under British rule, Moya Tönnies analyses how three members of the British administration, Ashbee, architect Ernest Tatham Richmond, and governor Ronald Storrs, all three identifying with the International Arts and Crafts Movement, used art as a diplomatic sphere for their British colonial anti-Zionist interventions.

Series Editor:
This academic series is devoted to biography as an object and a method of research, with a view to answering the current demand for a theorization of biography as an emerging field, at a crossroads between several disciplines in the humanities. The main goal of the series is to publish leading publications in the field of biography studies.
Biography is considered here as distinct from autobiography. The Biography Studies series will not be a solely historical series, nor a series for literary theory, nor for Life Writing, but a series for biography studies: genuinely inter- and multidisciplinary, providing the subject of biography its own deserved space. It will not publish (biographical) source publications or biographies, but publications that reflect on and investigate biography/biographies as a research methodology and with regard to its role in public spheres.
Authors are cordially invited to submit proposals and/or full manuscripts to the publisher at BRILL, Pieter Boeschoten or Masja Horn
Please advise our Guidelines for a Book Proposal.
Brill Open offers you the choice to make your research freely accessible online in exchange for a Publication Charge. This can be by choice or to comply with funding mandates or university requirements. Brill offers various options of Open Access; for more information please go to the Brill Open webpage.

Series Editor:
Converso and Morisco are the terms applied to those Jews and Muslims who converted to Christianity in large numbers and usually under duress in late Medieval Spain. Converso and Morisco Studies, a peer reviewed book series, will examine the implications of these mass conversions, for the converts themselves, for their heirs (also referred to as Conversos and Moriscos) and for medieval and modern Spanish culture. In examining the Conversos’ and Moriscos’ engagement with Christianity and the dominant, Old-Christian culture, the series will also reflect upon the broader issues of identity, community violence, religious intolerance, everyday resistance, and otherness in an early-modern environment.
The American Colonies, 1500-1830
The early modern colonization of the Americas ranks among the most influential developments that shaped the modern world. Between the initial exploratory European contacts with the Americas in the late fifteenth century and the eventual independence of American states from Europe lies the multifaceted development of small communities into large colonies, which drew upon their European inheritance and their New World experience and interaction with non-European cultures and societies to form distinctive cultures and identities. The peer-reviewed book series Early American History Series is dedicated to the advancement of scholarly understanding of the history of the colonization of the Americas. It offers explorations on any aspect of early American history to a broad audience of historians. These investigations may be conceived in the broadest way chronologically, geographically, and thematically, whether in explicitly comparative studies, or by the grouping of studies. The book series is housed at the State University of New York—New Paltz (U.S.A.).

Universities are knowledge-generating institutions, and modern societies regard knowledge, especially cutting-edge knowledge, as the necessary basis for national and international improvement. However, the question of how to organize and disseminate knowledge remains central to the goal and is today a primary concern of academics, policy analysts, organizational sociologists, industrial leaders and government officials. Historians, particularly historians of science and technology and specialists in the history of liberal learning, have contributed to the discussions by offering examples of changes in the organization of knowledge and its delivery, explaining how intellectual innovations and departures enter existing institutions or, encountering resistance, create new structures. But we still lack a systematic or concentrated scholarly understanding of how closely knowledge-generation and teaching styles are influenced by historical circumstances and tied to particular organizational structures, such as academies, departments, faculties, laboratories, schools, research institutes or special programs. It is especially important to understand how alterations in knowledge affect or fail to affect the structures of inquiry and teaching.
Scientific and Learned Cultures and Their Institutions is a peer-reviewed book series that has no restriction as to period, country or discipline. Its guiding editorial principle is to welcome studies that tie science and scholarship to their social conditions and organizational contexts.
Scientific and Learned Cultures and Their Institutions was initially published as a subseries of History of Science and Medicine Library; 10 volumes appeared as part of that subseries.

Editor:
For more than two decades the St Andrews Studies in Reformation History series has consistently published high-quality, original research in the field of early modern religious history. Interpreting the Reformation in its very broadest sense, and consciously fostering an interdisciplinary approach, the series has helped shape not only current interpretations of the Reformation, but views of early modern Institute in general. Focusing initially on ecclesiastical issues surrounding Protestant reform, the series quickly generated research that underlined how the ripples of the Reformation spread to virtually every corner of Europe, both Protestant and Catholic. From family life, education, literature, music, art and philosophy, to political theory, international relations, economics, colonial ventures, science and military matters, there were few aspects of life that remained untouched in some way by the spirit of religious reform. As such, all these topics and many more are dealt with by titles within the series, offering fascinating new perspectives on the formative years of modern Europe.
Alongside research volumes and thematic collections, the series also includes critical editions of important primary sources, bibliographical studies and new translations of influential Reformation works previously unavailable to English speaking scholars. By offering this rich mix of approaches and topics, the St Andrews series continues to provide an invaluable platform for the publication of international scholarship in a dynamic and often controversial area of historical study.
This series was published by Ashgate until January 2016. For volumes published before 2016, please contact Routledge, which acquired Ashgate in 2015.
