Thomas More and Spain

Autores Varios

This volume traces Th. More's intellectual and political connections with Spain through eight scholarly contributions. Olivares examines Erasmus's role in linking Arias Montano to More's legacy amid Counter-Reformation censorship. Cabrillana decodes More's Lucian translations to reveal his moral-aesthetic priorities, while Phelippeau juxtaposes 'Utopia' with Venetian governance models resisting Habsburg hegemony. Ureña explores digital humanities' challenges in Morean studies, and Lillo reconstructs Spanish accounts of More's trial through several manuscripts. Fuentes analyzes Mary Tudor's Erasmian translations, and Zunino maps Sevillian networks that cultivated More's posthumous reputation via Herrera's 1592 biography. The volume concludes with the editor's exploration of More and Vives' nuanced just-war theories, challenging some naive pacifist interpretations by contextualizing their pragmatic responses to Ottoman expansion. Bridging literary analysis, archival research, and transnational historiography, these essays illuminate Spain's enduring role in shaping More's critique of power and his Renaissance afterlife.

Taking Control 3 - How to...

Paul Garvey

Building on the success of the previous two books, this third volume helps school leaders develop the confidence and know-how to navigate the new areas judged under the new inspection model.
Part One offers a clear and concise overview of the new Report Card Framework, pinpointing the similarities with and key differences from its predecessor, the Education Inspection Framework (EIF). Paul also offers clear guidance on how to prepare for the inspection, with particular emphasis on reducing pressure on staff. Part Two introduces the new inspection commentary, which will replace the outgoing School Self-Evaluation Form (SEF). To assist with this, Paul provides a dialogic tool that will help schools provide the most positive picture of their work possible, detailing how to construct a persuasive narrative addressing each inspection area.
The book also confronts the wider context around school inspections, including contentious debates surrounding Ofsted, the impact of inspections on staff wellbeing, and the tragic death of Ruth Perry. Against this backdrop, he offers a toolkit grounded in experience and compassion to help leaders truly take control and approach their inspections with confidence.
Suitable for head teachers, senior leadership team members, subject leaders, classroom teachers, governors and all stakeholders in mainstream schools in England.

Freedom Riders The: The History...

Editors Charles River

After a 1960 Supreme Court decision in Boynton v. Virginia, bus segregation was made illegal on new grounds: it violated the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution, by regulating the movement of people across state lines. With this victory in hand, the Freedom Rides of 1961 began. Organized primarily by a new group – the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) – the Freedom Rides followed the same guidance that inspired the Montgomery Boycott and the Greensboro Sit-Ins – non-violent direct action. The purpose of the Freedom Rides was the test the Supreme Court's decision by riding from Virginia to Louisiana on integrated busses. This was notably the first major Civil Rights event that included a large segment of white participants.
Mobs in places like Birmingham and Montgomery firebombed buses and brutally beat the Freedom Riders, sending dozens to the hospital. Mob violence, orchestrated by the KKK and their segregationist allies, erupted endlessly throughout the summer. White activists, who were viewed by the Ku Klux Klan as betraying their race, took the worst beatings of all.
Both black and white Northerners had participated in the Freedom Rides, and civil rights activists sought other ways to harness their energy and activism in 1963. After the Freedom Rides, civil rights leaders initiated voter registration drives that could help register black voters and build community organizations that could help make their votes count. The momentum generated by the Freedom Rides and the following activism would lead to the famous March on Washington and eventually the passage of a historic civil rights bill in 1964.
