    Horror, Mystery, and the Oceanic Sublime

    de Laurence Publicover ...

    de Laurence Publicover ...

  • Empire:A Very Short Introduction

    A Very Short Introduction

    de Stephen Howe ...
    A great deal of the world's history is the history of empires. Indeed it could be said that all history is colonial history, if one takes a broad enough definition and goes far enough back. And although the great historic imperial systems, the land-based Russian one as well as the seaborne empires of western European powers, have collapsed during the past half century, their legacies shape almost ...

    Series series Very Short Introductions
    From The Two Gentlemen of Verona in the early 1590s to The Two Noble Kinsmen at the end of his career around 1614, Shakespeare wrote at least eighteen plays that can be called 'comedies': a far higher number than that for any other genre in which he wrote.
