Today, frenzy is the stuff of newspaper headlines. Five hundred years ago, it described a disease which could kill its sufferers within days. This book offers the first full-length study of frenzy, providing a fresh perspective on early modern understandings of mental illness, mind-body relations, and personhood. Frenzy was frightening not just because it killed its sufferers, but because it changed them beyond recognition. It gave the impression that what was then the most precious part of the person – the soul – was as easy to damage as the body. Frenzy in Early Modern England deepens and complicates our sense of what madness meant in this period, both to those who assigned the label, and to those who lived with it. This is an important intervention in the often-fragmented historiography of early modern madness, combining intellectual, social, and cultural history with the history of medicine.

Ambition. Sorcery. Treason. How will one woman dare to go? Eleanor Cobham arrived at court with nothing — her greatest hope was simply to marry well. But her ambition carried her further than any woman before her had dared. She wanted to rule her own destiny. To rule England itself. They say she summoned the devil himself to secure her fate. They say she plotted to murder a king. Now, it's time to finally hear her story. This is the tale of the woman they called witch. Who would have called herself queen.
Ambition. Sorcery. Treason. How far will one woman dare to go?

INDIE BESTSELLER "An amazing read."--The Los Angeles Times The #1 New York Times bestselling historical novelist delivers her magnum opus--a landmark work of feminist nonfiction that radically redefines our understanding of the extraordinary roles ordinary women played throughout British history. Did you know that there are more penises than women in the Bayeux Tapestry? That the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 was started and propelled by women who were protesting a tax on women? Or that celebrated naturalist Charles Darwin believed not just that women were naturally inferior to men, but that they'd evolve to become ever more inferior? These are just a few of the startling findings you will learn from reading Philippa Gregory's Normal Women. In this ambitious and groundbreaking book, she tells the story of England over 900 years, for the very first time placing women--some fifty per cent of the population--center stage. Using research skills honed in her work as one of our foremost historical novelists, Gregory trawled through court records, newspapers, and journals to find: highwaywomen beggars murderers brides housewives pirates female husbands hermits The "normal women" you will meet in these pages went to war, plowed the fields, campaigned, wrote, and loved. They rode in jousts, flew Spitfires, issued their own currency, and built ships, corn mills and houses. They committed crimes or treason, worshipped many gods, cooked and nursed, invented things, and rioted. A lot. A landmark work of scholarship and storytelling, Normal Women chronicles centuries of social and cultural change--from 1066 to modern times--powered by the determination, persistence, and effectiveness of women. INCLUDES ILLUSTRATIONS THROUGHOUT AND A FULL-COLOR INSERT "An expansive, inclusive and elegantly woven nonfiction account of the lives of women in England from the Norman Conquest to the modern day. To describe it as merely a retelling is to undermine a core principle: This is a history of women in England, yes, but it is also a history of England, full stop. . . . At more than 500 pages, with extensive endnotes and a 30-page index, Normal Women is a behemoth you may be inclined to skim, until you realize you're actually luxuriating in every word."--The New York Times
This monograph examines the growing datafication of European borders, exploring how digital technologies reshape migration governance. The book reveals how such technologies increasingly function as tools of exclusion, surveillance, and control for those whose mobility rights are restricted – including people seeking asylum and illegalised migrants. As such, the book explores the datafied element of enforcing the exclusionary logics that underpin migration policies in Europe. Drawing on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in Greece and the United Kingdom, the book foregrounds the lived experiences of those navigating datafied systems. It traces how digital infrastructures reshape access to rights and everyday life. Conceptually, the book identifies key manifestations of power within datafied borders: control through categorisation and identification, containment through everyday surveillance, and dispossession of rights through data infrastructures. Situating these processes within histories of colonial and racialised border control, the book challenges solutions that focus on the technology itself, highlighting the structural injustices embedded in datafied migration governance. The book will be of interest to scholars and students across migration studies, critical border studies, critical data studies, surveillance studies, sociology, anthropology, geography, and politics. It will also appeal to policymakers, activists, and civil society organisations working on migration, mobility rights, and digital justice.
