In this companion volume to Deity and Domination, David Nicholls broadens his examination of the relationship between religion and politics. Focusing on the images and concepts of God and the state predominant in eighteenth-century discourse, he shows how these were interrelated and reflect the language of the wider cultural contexts. Nicholls argues that the way a community pictures God will inevitably reflect (and also affect) its general understanding of authority, whether it be in state, in family or in other social institutions. Much language about God, for example, has a primarily political reference: in psalms, hymns and sermons God is called king, judge, lord, ruler and to him are ascribed might, majesty, dominion, power and sovereignty. But if political rhetoric is frequently incorporated into religious discourse, the reverse is also true: many key concepts of modern political theory are secularised theological concepts. In his consideration of this important and neglected relationship Nicholls sheds new light on religion and politics in the eighteenth century.

Sir Charles Dilke's claim to a leading place in the pantheon of Victorian radicalism, with Cobden, Bright and Chamberlain, has been overshadowed by the sensational divorce case in 1886 that ruined his career. Yet his political abilities were great and his career a most remarkable one. He was regarded by many of his contemporaries as a likely successor to Gladstone and a probable future Prime Minister. It can be argued that his political eclipse was a crucial contributing factor to the Liberal Party's failure to provide a viable alternative to the rise of the Labour Party.

From the end of the nineteenth century a national musical consciousness gradually developed in the USA as composers began to turn away from the European conventions on which their music had hitherto been modelled. It was in this period of change that experimentation was born. In this book, the composer and scholar David Nicholls considers the most influential figures in the development of American experimental music, including Charles Ives, Charles Seeger, Ruth Crawford, Henry Cowell, and the young John Cage. He analyses the music and ideas of this group, explaining the compositional techniques invented and employed by them and the historical and cultural context in which they emerged.

Kåret til Årets beste bok 2024 av Amazon books. Du er her er en morsom, håpefull og hjertevarm kjærlighetshistorie – den populære, bestselgende forfatteren David Nicholls omtaler den som «min morsomste bok hittil». En bittersøt og håpefull historie om første møter, andre sjanser og om å finne veien hjem. Michael er i ferd med å miste grepet helt. Etter at kona forlot ham, har han begynt å gå lange, ensomme vandreturer. Han gjør alt for å unngå å være hjemme i det tomme huset sitt. Marnie, derimot, går sjelden ut. Hun gjemmer seg alene i leiligheten sin i London, og unngår gamle venner og alle påminnelser om sin egoistiske eksmann. På de lange, ensomme ettermiddagene krøller hun seg sammen med en god bok, mens det føles som om livet raser forbi uten henne. Når en felles venn - og et veldig uforutsigbart vær - tvinger Michael og Marnie til å slå følge på en sagnomsust fottur, fra kyst til kyst tvers over England, er det ingen av dem som kan forestille seg noe verre. Helt til de skjønner at dette er nøyaktig hva de trenger. Michael og Marnie står på terskelen til en lys fremtid … hvis de overlever turen. «Geniet som ga oss En dag har skrevet enda klassisk og morsom lovestory ... Herlig!» Matt Haig

First published in 1967, Church and State in Britain Since 1820 is a selection of documents on the problems of church-state relations in Britain since the time of Coleridge. There is a full introduction in which the editor discusses a few of the problems raised by the pluralist solution of a ‘free church in a free state’. He shows, for example, how the American pattern of a state studiously indifferent to the claims of religious bodies within it poses problems of a theoretical nature in addition to the well-known practical ones. The documents themselves include passages from theoretical works on church and state, by writers such as Coleridge, Thomas Arnold, W.E. Gladstone, and T.S. Elliot. The concrete problems of the period are represented by extracts from speeches and pamphlets: speeches by Gladstone on Scottish disestablishment, by Llyod George and Asquith on Welsh disestablishment, and pamphlets of the Liberation Society, give something of the flavour of the church-state debate as it proceeded on the popular level. There are two appendices, one dealing with ‘crime and sin’, the other including extracts from papal encyclicals on the subject of church-state relations.
