This book offers the first serious critical study of Roger Michell’s career as a filmmaker. Best known for Notting Hill, Michell brought a distinctive sensitivity to his work in both the UK and the US, across genres ranging from romantic comedy to historical drama. While Michell had success in theatre and television, the focus here is on his twenty-year career in film and the particular qualities he brought to adaptation and character-driven storytelling. The book explores his handling of relationships and place, from the quiet emotional detail of Persuasion to the observational humour of The Duke, and highlights his ability to subvert narrative conventions through careful attention to mood, tone and performance. McFarlane’s study positions Michell as a perceptive and underappreciated figure in contemporary British cinema, whose work continues to reward close viewing.
Roger Lamb's American Revolution: A British Soldier's Story

Featured in Ken Burns The American Revolution on PBS(R) Of all the British soldiers who served in North America during the American Revolution, none wrote more about his experiences than Roger Lamb. He certainly had a lot to say: his service in two of the most important campaigns--the 1777 Saratoga campaign and the 1781 campaign through the Carolinas to Virginia--put him in the thick of some of the war's most famous battles. Moreover, he was twice captured and twice escaped, making his way through hostile territory to rejoin the British army. Later in his life he wrote two books chronicling these experiences in great detail. Hundreds of British soldiers went through similar ordeals, sharing in the campaigns, the battles, the captivities, the escapes, but none recounted any aspect of these activities in the level of detail that Lamb did. The first edition of this book, published in 2004, combined all of Roger Lamb's first-hand recollections from his two books, An Original and Authentic Journal of Occurrences during the late American War, from its Commencement to the Year 1783 (Dublin, 1809) and Memoir of his Own Life (Dublin, 1811). Since that publication, two more important documents written by Lamb have come to light--an intelligence report written in 1782 recounting details of one of his escapes, and a "commonplace book" kept later in his life to record a vast range of memories, thoughts, and observations. Roger Lamb's American Revolution: A British Soldier's Story combines all of the material from these four sources pertaining to Lamb's career as a soldier, from the time he joined the army to his departure from it, plus his recollections of childhood and post-military life. The result is the most comprehensive first-hand account by a British soldier in the American Revolution, an essential record for understanding the war in its totality.
Roger II (c. 1095-1154), Sicily's first king, was an anomaly for his time. An ambitious new ruler who lacked the distinguished lineage so prized by the nobility, and a leader of an extraordinarily diverse population on the fringes of Europe, he occupied a unique space in the continent's charged political landscape. This interdisciplinary study examines the strategies that Roger used to legitimize his authority, including his relationships with contemporary rulers, the familial connections that he established through no less than three marriages, and his devotion to the Church and Saint Nicholas of Myra/Bari. Yet while Roger and his family made the most of their geographic and cultural contexts, it is convincingly argued here that they nonetheless retained a strong western focus, and that behind the diverse melange of Norman Sicily were very occidental interests. Drawing together sources of political, social, and religious history from locations as disparate as Spain and the Byzantine Empire, as well as evidence from the magnificent churches and elaborate mosaics constructed during his reign, this volume offers a fascinating portrait of a figure whose rule was characterized both by great potential and devastating tragedy. Indeed, had Roger been able to accomplish his ambitious agenda, the history of the medieval Mediterranean world would have unfolded very differently.

"Warum leuchtet heute diese "Shari'a", das Gesetz Gottes, nicht ber die ganze Welt? Warum bleiben die muslimischen V lker das Objekt der Geschichte, obwohl vom Kolonialismus befreit, anstatt handelndes, kreatives Subjekt zu sein? Warum geben sie kein Beispiel f r historische Initiative? Weil dieses Gesetz, die "Shari'a" entstellt, in ihrer lebendigen Entwicklung seit den ersten Jahrhunderten ihrer Geschichte angehalten wurde. Weil man den Koran mit den Augen der Toten liest. Mit den Augen von Menschen, die das Genie hatten, von der ewigen Offenbarung des Koran aus die Probleme ihrer Epoche zu l sen. W hrend wir die Probleme der unsrigen nicht dadurch l sen k nnen, dass wir uns damit zufrieden geben, ihre Formen zu wiederholen, sondern indem wir uns von ihren Methoden inspirieren lassen. Zu den Quellen zur ckkehren hei t nicht, r ckw rtsgewandt der Zukunft entgegenzugehen, mit auf die Vergangenheit fixierten Augen, sondern die lebendige Quelle und die kreative Dynamik des urspr nglichen Islam wiederzufinden."
