Who votes for radical right parties and why? This book argues that the increasing popularity of the radical right in Europe originates in community bonds: strong ties to one's locality motivate support for the radical right. These parties use nostalgic themes and symbolic politicking to idealize community, defend local autonomy, and ultimately draw local identity into the electoral realm. While other explanations of the radical right's popularity typify supporters as victims of macro-economic shifts and strains, the author's account explores people's day-to-day experiences that link local connections to political decisions. The analysis also raises questions about the political implications of different formal authority structures such as the level and nature of power devolved to local units. The localist model of radical right support illuminates the psychological, social, and institutional conditions and processes that render people's feelings about their cities, towns, and villages relevant for politics.

Following in the footsteps of H.G. Wells, Elizabeth Von Arnim, Arnold Bennett, Ada Leverson, May Sinclair and others, in 1915 the young Helen Waddell and Maude Clarke (later well-known medievalists) collaborated on a marriage-problem novel, Discipline, published here for the first time. Modeled on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, the action centres on Elizabeth St. John's grievances against her husband, in her eyes justifying a series of rebellions which, however, rebound upon herself. Equally important is her friendship with Anne Delahide, sparkling with the fun of being intellectual. Like other marriage-problem novels, 'Discipline' sows seeds of feminist doubt even as the romantic comedy returns the heroine to the marital embrace.However, the friendship between Elizabeth and Anne allows the authors to hint at a homosocial alternative. The Introduction by Jennifer FitzGerald teases out the subtext, the struggles of a young university-educated and independent-minded wife to forge the stable self-defined identity her husband can take for granted. It examines the parallels and contrasts with Waddell's 1916 biographical essay, also published here, on the 18th-century Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, which also follows the trajectory of romantic comedy but ends in the humdrum, unrelenting heartbreak of an irreconcilable marriage. Both texts are comprehensively annotated.

THE ART OF WORK takes but a moment of our history and offers it up in hopes that we may see more clearly the realities of a segment of working America. Centering around the Meat Cutter's Union of New York City, UFCW Local 342, the poems bear witness to real people, job sites, and stories. They offer new access points into the lives that exist past those solitary moments. This collection does not make art of work, it merely frames the beauty already present in our toiling, our labor, and our survival.

From the Burma Road to Kunming, China to Shanghai, a 20-year old US Army Sergeant experiences the perils and pleasures that can come only from the Orient---especially during a World War---from November 1944 to November 1945. Two of the 54 poems have been published. "The Five and Dime", was featured in a newspaper's Sunday Supplement, and "Cadillac Kate" was selected for a well known collection of poems a few years back. Experience the War through a young soldier's eyes. From the people he met and the women he loved, to the hospitals, nurses and more. I was lying in bed in a Kunming tent My nurse was a Burmese beauty; She said, "You really velly sick." I said, "and you really are some cutie " There's a guy in the next bed, Says, "It's called lack-a-nookie." The nurse giggled a bit, and then asked, "You guys wan some milk, and maybe a cookie?" "The doctor," she said, "he 'dink mararia. I tell him, I 'don dink so. I see whole bunch in India, But here in China, I dink No" You will cry a little, laugh a lot and wonder why you never heard of the Yunan Province where opium was legal, the Chinese generals hated each other, and Shanghai was the only port in the world that took in Jewish refugees from Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Poland, etc. And what the city was like a few weeks after WW2 ended.

As women’s university participation expanded rapidly in the first decade of the twentieth century, two close friends at Queen’s University Belfast nursed scholarly ambitions. Helen Waddell, budding feminist literary critic, and Maude Clarke, future Irish historian, were to become famous medievalists. Waddell’s progress was stymied by her stepmother’s insistence on family duty and by academic misogyny; Clarke’s father, in contrast, helped to clear her way. This joint biography intertwines the story of their friendship with their modern education, their shifting research interests and the obstacles and opportunities that faced them as women seeking academic careers. It traces Waddell’s evolution into an independent scholar, creative writer and translator of medieval Latin, and Clarke’s career as an influential Oxford don, training a generation of high-achieving women academics. The book also reproduces the surviving chapters of Helen Waddell’s Woman in the Drama before Shakespeare (1912-1919), an example of early feminist literary criticism, and Maude Clarke’s searching, self-reflective ‘Historiographical Notes’ (c.1930).

People decide about political parties by taking into account the preferences, values, expectations, and perceptions of their family, friends, colleagues, and neighbours. As most people live with others, members of their households influence each other's political decisions. How and what they think about politics and what they do are the outcomes of social processes. Applying varied statistical models to data from extensive German and British household surveys, this book shows that wives and husbands influence each other; young adults influence their parents, especially their mothers. Wives and mothers sit at the centre of households: their partisanship influences the partisanship of everyone else, and the others affect them. Politics in households interacts with competition among the political parties to sustain bounded partisanship. People ignore one of the major parties and vary their preference of its major rival over time. Election campaigns reinforce these choices.
