"Foreign Policy Must Read 2012" by Books from Global Thinkers&#8220;Chinua Achebe&#8217;s history of Biafra is a meditation on the condition of freedom. It has the tense narrative grip of the best fiction. It is also a revelatory entry into the intimate character of the writer&#8217;s brilliant mind and bold spirit. Achebe has created here a new genre of literature in which politico-historical evidence, the power of story-telling, and revelations from the depths of the human subconscious are one. The event of a new work by Chinua Achebe is always extraordinary; this one exceeds all expectation.&#8221;&#8212;Nadine Gordimer, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature&#8220;A fascinating and gripping memoir.&#8221; &#8212;The Wall Street Journal&#8220;There Was a Country ought to be essential reading&#8230;an eclectic range of insights and fascinating anecdotes.&#8221;&#8212;Financial Times&#8220;Achebe writes in a characteristically modest fashion&#8230;Like much of Achebe&#8217;s other work, this book about the progress of war and the presence of violence has a universal quality. In a world where sectarian hatreds augmented by political mediocrity have fractured Syria and threaten to bring Israel and Iran to blows, There Was a Country is a valuable account of how the suffering caused by war is both unnecessary and formative.&#8221;&#8212;Newsweek"Memoir and history are brought together by a master storyteller."&#8212;The Guardian&#160;

“The phenomenon of palpitating journalism is central to Waters’s Special Correspondence and the Newspaper Press in Victorian Print Culture, 1850–1886. … offers a well-informed, accessible contribution to journalism history.” (Kate Campbell, Victorian Studies, Vol. 62 (4), 2020)"Waters’s study is an achievement, not only for its scholarly contribution but also for how she uses rich textual analysis to immerse the reader in the mid-nineteenth century’s most newsworthy events. With compelling examples and deft writing in her own right, Waters makes visible how special correspondence was a communication technology that drove news journalism’s popularity into the late-nineteenth century and beyond.” (Stephan Pigeon, Victorian Periodicals Review, Vol. 53 (2), 2020)“In the true spirit of special correspondence, this scholarly and enjoyable book successfully merges journalistic, literary and political history in what is undoubtedly a major contribution to the field of Victorian print culture.” (Françoise Baillet, Romance, Revolution & Reform, Vol. 2, January, 2020)“This is an exemplary study of a thoroughly specialized subject. Its achievement is to combine prodigious authority in its field with continual reaching out to broader fields and to a broader, nonspecialist readership. … I believe that this splendid book could make even greater impact.” (Michael Hollington, Dickens Quarterly, Vol. 36 (3), September, 2019)

Advaita Acarya, one of the two most significant disciples of Caitanya, stood at the intersection of ecstatic Vaisnava devotionalism and the strict demands of orthodox Brahmanism. Rebecca Manring's lucid translations of the hagiographies of Advaita tell the story of his resuscitation in late nineteenth-century Bengal by what she identifies as 'the religious right of its day.' The intrinsic fascination of these texts is compounded by the underlying political narrative.
