  Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor (Kaiser) and King of Prussia, ruled from June 15, 1888, until his abdication on November 9, 1918, marking the end of the German Empire. His reign was tumultuous, characterized by grand ambitions and disastrous decisions that not only reshaped Germany but also contributed to the broader context of global conflict. Although Wilhelm's creation of a powerful navy and his drive to position Germany as a dominant world power earned him recognition, his erratic public statements and volatile foreign policy alienated many, making him a central figure in the lead-up to World War I. 
  Born in 1859 to Prince Frederick William of Prussia and Victoria, Princess Royal of the United Kingdom, Wilhelm II was part of a deeply interconnected European royal family. His mother, Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter, brought him into a web of political alliances that spanned several major European nations. Wilhelm’s father, Frederick III, briefly held the throne for only 99 days in 1888 before his untimely death, making it a year of remarkable transitions. Just months after his father’s passing, Wilhelm succeeded to the throne during what historians refer to as the "Year of the Three Emperors," as Wilhelm’s grandfather, Wilhelm I, had also died earlier that year.

  Reformation and...

  Charles River Editors

  The Protestant Reformation, despite often being associated with the symbolic figure of Martin Luther nailing his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg on October 31, 1517, cannot be reduced to a single, abrupt, and exceptional event. Rather, it must be traced to a much longer process of spiritual, social, and intellectual transformation that unfolded over the late medieval period. This historiographical perspective acknowledges the deep-rooted need for a Reformation, transforming the period between the 14th and 16th centuries into a genuine “Age of Reformation.” Authors such as Eric Leland Saak emphasize that criticisms of ecclesiastical authority and calls for reform (sola scriptura) were already evident in the preceding centuries. In fact, reformers John Wycliffe and Jan Hus, who lived several decades before Luther, anticipated central themes of the Reformation, laying the foundations for a critique, making Luther’s actions not the beginning of a secular movement but the culmination of it. 
  The Counter-Reformation was the Catholic Church's specific reaction to the Protestant Reformation, and it is often characterised as the acceptance of certain demands for ecclesiastical renewal, which Luther, Calvin, and other reformers had also emphasized. The Catholic Church began to change various aspects such as the training of priests, residence requirements for bishops, and combating immorality among the clergy, but the Counter-Reformation was also quite polemical and defensive to prevent other Catholics from converting to the Evangelical Churches. Some forms of these defensive measures consisted of catechisms, sacred art, and popular devotion, but the Church also resorted to violent repression of Evangelical Christianity, with the Vatican often collaborating with Catholic countries on the continent. By the end of the Counter-Reformation, Europe had suffered through the Thirty Years' War, one of the deadliest wars in history.

  The Daughter of Man

  "This whip-smart collection is a playful celebration of feminine power.” 
  —Publisher’s Weekly 
  "Goddam funny ... a clinic in irony. What a beautiful book.” 
  —Ross Gay 
  "With the verve of Alice Fulton and the panache of Gerald Stern, Sysko keens into the canon, a welcome voice. Sing, indeed, heavenly muse.” 
  —Alan Michael Parker 
  "With electric nerve, L.J. Sysko's savvy and often comic poems careen through American pop culture and the suburban world that infantalizes and traps women. Sysko fixes her gaze on adolescent girls and their trajectory into selfhood—a path that takes them through sexual shame and erasure, and then, as they age, into defiance." 
  —Anne Marie Macari 
  2023 Miller Williams Poetry Prize First Finalist 
  Selected by Patricia Smith 
  The Daughter of Man follows its unorthodox heroine as she transforms from maiden to warrior—then to queen, maven, and crone—against the backdrop of suburban America from the 1980s to today. In this bold reframing of the hero’s journey, L. J. Sysko serves up biting social commentary and humorous, unsparing self-critique while enlisting an eccentric cast that includes Betsy Ross as sex worker, Dolly Parton as raptor, and a bemused MILF who exchanges glances with a young man at a gas station. Sysko’s revisions of René Magritte’s modernist icon The Son of Man and the paintings of baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi, whose extraordinary talent was nearly eclipsed after she took her rapist to trial, loom large in this multifaceted portrait of womanhood. With uncommon force, The Daughter of Man confronts misogyny and violence, even as it bursts with nostalgia, lust, and poignant humor.
