Essai historique sur les invasions des Hongrois en Europe et spécialement en France

'This study undertakes a subtly crafted and elegantly argued study of the role and significance of landscape in a number of major fictional Victorian texts. These and other considerations help to inform an excellent chapter on Charlotte Bronte which cleverly demonstrates the gendered nature of landscape representation in Jane Eyre and Shirley in a reading of great subtlety and inwardness. In turning to the very different world of George Eliot, Henson explores with real verve and intelligence the role of men and women in a working Midlands landscape, and the influence of Dutch realism, and is most perceptive in addressing the problematic role of the 'male' narrator in her fiction. When Henson turns to Hardy, the study is once again replete with superfine distinctions in its response to textual detail, and the reader is offered rewardingly fresh readings of novels from Far From the Madding Crowd up to Tess.'  Roger Ebbatson, Lancaster University  '... represents the most complete work to date exploring the use of landscape (with all its implications only previously hinted at) in Charlotte BrontÃ« demonstrating beyond any doubt the great importance of landscape description (in all its forms) in Charlotte BrontÃ«'s way of narrating and clearly implicating that any serious critical approach to her work has to take it into account.'  BrontÃ« Blog  '... a well-constructed and stimulating book.'  Landscapes

'The rare publication of an English monograph on Ottonian art is always cause for celebration. Still too little known, the art produced in the Germanic realms in the forty years on either side of 1000 CE is among the most sumptuous and complex of the entire Middle Ages. Although not a survey of the period, Eliza Garrison’s Ottonian Imperial Art and Portraiture is a fine demonstration of this claim, and Ashgate is to be congratulated on producing a handsome book whose mostly full-page illustrations do justice to the beauty and power of the objects under discussion.' caa.reviews 
'... an engaging and thoughtful analysis of the artistic patronage of the Holy Roman Emperors Otto III and Henry II... it will no doubt delight readers with its lucid presentation of some of the most complex and beautiful treasures to survive from the tenth and eleventh centuries. Highlights, to name just a few, include the Lothar Cross, the Gospels of Otto III, the Pericopes of Henry II, and the Bamberg Star Mantle; these works are often included in surveys, but too rarely discussed in depth. This new book is thus greatly welcome for two reasons: it engages with important objects that deserve more discussion, and it presents a well-written, up-to-date, yet accessible overview of scholarship on Ottonian treasury art... this is a welcome addition to the field of Ottonian art history, a subject that is finding increasing attention among North American scholars, and will do so even more thanks to the wonderful images, helpful bibliography, and engaging discussions presented in this book.' The Medieval Review 
'Rarely does one encounter a study that attempts to associate this body of political art with the hard realities of contemporary politics. Garrison does not ignore the formal questions with which medieval art historians have been typically concerned, but such questions are supplemented by her methodology, which combines considerations of iconography, liturgy, political thought and source analyis, with a sense of the pragmatic aims and methods of Ottonian rulership.'

"[A] series of nifty little essays—the thinking person’s commuting read."
— Independent, on the Haus Curiosities series


"Haus is to be congratulated for its courage in dusting off the political pamphlet format and publishing a series of essays, short enough to be read in one sitting, in the internet age."
— Times Higher Education, on the Haus Curiosities series


"Peter Hennessy’s conversations with leading politicians of our&nbsp;time have reinvented the political interview. Probing, yet sympathetic,&nbsp;thought-provoking and at times moving, they provide&nbsp;a rare glimpse&nbsp;behind the public face and an insight into the background, inspirations&nbsp;and motivations of these key figures."
— Carolyn Quinn


"The art of the interview is to caress, coax and cajole your subject&nbsp;into revealing more about themselves than they ever planned to. Peter&nbsp;Hennessy does just that with verve and panache."
— Nick Robinson


"Peter Hennessy always combines entertaining verve with immense depth of knowledge and that shines through in this collection."
— Martha Kearney


"Peter Hennessy is the perfect companion for a walk through the&nbsp;politics that made our time, and these are conversations that tell so&nbsp;much. Sharp, touching and wise."
— James Naughtie


"This is an unusual politics book. It takes the reader inside the&nbsp;heads of some of the towering politicians of our age. Compelling stuff."
— Robert Peston


“Hennessy’s famously disarming manner and deep knowledge (there is no political reference so recondite that Hennessy cannot immediately supply a date or a name) are put to work across the spectrum.”
— CapX


“Hennessy is . . . the pre-eminent historian of postwar government who got himself a seat in the House of Lords, enabling him to study his subjects close up—and as a result these interviews are unusually informed and revealing.”
— Guardian


“Hennessy knows the ins and outs of post-War British politics so well that he is able to give a little nudge with a quick intervention, sometimes just a few words, when necessary. A true professional, and worthy of reading and rereading for all those who want to know what makes front-line politicians tick.”
— Jonathan Fryer


“Peter Hennessy, the political historian and former&nbsp;Times&nbsp;journalist, once said that the main attraction of becoming a peer was so that he could have lunch with his ‘exhibits.’ His latest book,&nbsp;Reflections, collects&nbsp;conversations with those exhibits.”
