What can the `new'' historiography of political thought, political anthropology and sociology, and literary historicism contribute to our understanding of the Tudor commonwealth? This volume of innovative essays clears fresh paths into the languages, debates and underlying structures of Tudor political thought and policy. Emphasizing the intellectual and the cultural, and introducing interdisciplinary methods and perspectives, the essays address a range of problems in Tudor politics and statecraft which have traditionally received little attention.
This work offers comprehensive coverage at a time when Chinese cinema has won international acclaim through the work of directors like Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou (mainland China), John Woo (Hong Kong), and Hou Hsiao-hsien (Taiwan). Six incisive historical essays precede the main body of entries on film people, synopses, genres, studios, and subjects. The essays alone offer great assistance, but when they are coupled with the cross-referenced entries and the handsome photographs, the work's value crystallizes. A thorough bibliography, multiple indexes, and an annotated list of select websites further enhance the volume.
