Selling Education in England, 1650–1715
In the period 1650–1715, a growing consensus emerged that educational culture in England did not meet the needs of the population, and that change was required—change in what was taught, how, and to whom. This article argues for a conception of an English ‘educational economy’ in which fragmenting institutions and a patchy licensing regime made space for substantial private educational provision. This educational economy gave rise to debates abou…

Teaching Europe French: The worlds and words of Claude Mauger
Claude Mauger is a largely forgotten figure today, but he was the most influential French teacher in seventeenth-century England, and his work achieved lasting success in print in England and on the continent. This article offers a new account of his career in person and in print, arguing that this standard-bearer for the prestige of French himself lived a more precarious life, and that his influence stretched throughout Europe and North America …
The Reformation of salad: Eating and drinking with immigrants in Elizabethan London
Writing about English food in 1614, the elderly Italian exile Giacomo Castelvetro observed: The vast influx of so many refugees from the evils and cruelties of the Roman Inquisition has led to the introduction of delights previously considered inedible, worthless or even poisonous. This article takes Castelvetro’s reflections as a prompt to explore eating and drinking among the ‘strangers’ of early modern England. Using letters and consistory rec…
Migrant Voices in Multilingual London, 1560–1600
Early modern London was multilingual, and early modern urban life was shaped by linguistic diversity. This article draws on the multilingual archives of Elizabethan London's ‘stranger churches’ – Protestant congregations which catered to the needs of French-, Dutch- and Italian-speaking migrants (among others) – to explore how linguistic diversity shaped social relations. These sources offer insights into the everyday multilingualism of the early…

Languages of History, Histories of Language
Just over three decades ago, in the introduction to a volume of essays titled The Social History of Language, Peter Burke wrote that ‘language is too important historically to leave to the linguists — [it is] so intimately involved with the processes of social interaction and social change that social historians need to give it much more attention than they have done so far’.1 Four years later, Roy Porter stated the problem more boldly: ‘language…
Pandemic preparedness and Covid-19: An exploratory analysis of infection and fatality rates, and contextual factors associated with preparedness in 177 countries, from Jan 1, 2020, to Sept 30, 2021
BACKGROUND: National rates of COVID-19 infection and fatality have varied dramatically since the onset of the pandemic. Understanding the conditions associated with this cross-country variation is essential to guiding investment in more effective preparedness and response for future pandemics. METHODS: Daily SARS-CoV-2 infections and COVID-19 deaths for 177 countries and territories and 181 subnational locations were extracted from the Institute …
Estimating excess mortality due to the Covid-19 pandemic: A systematic analysis of Covid-19-related mortality, 2020–21
BACKGROUND: Mortality statistics are fundamental to public health decision making. Mortality varies by time and location, and its measurement is affected by well known biases that have been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aims to estimate excess mortality from the COVID-19 pandemic in 191 countries and territories, and 252 subnational units for selected countries, from Jan 1, 2020, to Dec 31, 2021. METHODS: All-cause mortalit…
Extending A Letter-Writing Intervention Developed for Incarcerated Mothers to Incarcerated Fathers: A Mixed Methods Study
The number of U.S. prisoners with minor children has increased dramatically in recent decades. Although the quality of inmate-child communication is positively associated with individual and familial outcomes, innovative programming for incarcerated parents is limited. This mixed methods study explored the initial delivery to incarcerated fathers of a letter-writing intervention developed for and previously used with incarcerated mothers. Pre- to…
A dynamic analysis of the global warming potential associated with air conditioning at a city scale: An empirical study in Shenzhen, China
The nexus between air pollution, green infrastructure and human health
Cities are constantly evolving and so are the living conditions within and between them. Rapid urbanization and the ever-growing need for housing have turned large areas of many cities into concrete landscapes that lack greenery. Green infrastructure can support human health, provide socio-economic and environmental benefits, and bring color to an otherwise grey urban landscape. Sometimes, benefits come with downsides in relation to its impact on…
Adapting Stand‐Alone Renewable Energy Technologies for the Circular Economy through Eco‐Design and Recycling
Renewable energy (RE) technologies are looked upon favorably to provide for future energy demands and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, the installation of these technologies requires large quantities of finite material resources. We apply life cycle assessment to 100 years of electricity generation from three stand‐alone RE technologies—solar photovoltaics, run‐of‐river hydro, and wind—to evaluate environmental burden profiles agai…
Language‐learning, orality, and multilingualism in early modern Anglophone narratives of Mediterranean captivity
On a Spanish ship bound for Cadiz in the middle of the seventeenth century, an English sailor named Edward Coxere heard the news of Oliver Cromwell’s death. One of the Spaniards on board the ship called to him and his fellow-sailors, and uttered the words ‘“Aie bona Nova Cromwell sta morto granda Feasta Enferno”, which is to say “There is good news: Cromwell is dead. There is a great feast in Hell”.’2 Though the Spaniard did not speak in English,…
Air pollution abatement performances of green infrastructure in open road and built-up street canyon environments – A review
Intensifying the proportion of urban green infrastructure has been considered as one of the remedies for air pollution levels in cities, yet the impact of numerous vegetation types deployed in different built environments has to be fully synthesised and quantified. This review examined published literature on neighbourhood air quality modifications by green interventions. Studies were evaluated that discussed personal exposure to local sources of…

The Italian London of John North: Cultural Contact and Linguistic Encounter in Early Modern England
This article takes as its subject the remarkable diary kept by a young English gentleman named John North from 1575 to 1579. On his journey home from Italy in 1575–77, North changed the language of his diary from English to Italian. On his return to London, he continued to keep a record of his everyday life in Italian. This article uses North’s diary as a starting point from which to reconstruct the social and sensory worlds of a returned travele…

Ungratefull Tuscans: Teaching Italian in Early Modern England
This essay considers the teaching of Italian in early modern England by looking at the texts, methods, and individuals involved. It considers some ways in which audiences not conforming to the traditional stereotype of the ‘Italianate gentleman’ shaped Italian pedagogies across the period, and analyses little-known print and manuscript texts that shed light on these audiences. It asks how, if at all, English students of Italian might have encount…

The Decline, Revival and Fall of the British Empire: The Ford Lectures and Other Essays
Through his teaching in the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford, Jack Gallagher was a major influence on a generation of students of empire. His re-interpretation of the nature of British imperialism, most notably in Africa and the Victorians (written with Ronald Robinson) stimulated much debate. His pupil and colleague Anil Seal has edited for this volume a group of Professor Gallagher's major essays: the unpublished Ford Lectures on the Britis…
The Imperialism of Free Trade
I It ought to be a commonplace that Great Britain during the 19th century expanded overseas by means of “informal empire” as much as by acquiring dominion in the strict constitutional sense. For purposes of economic analysis it would clearly be unreal to define imperial history exclusively as the history of those colonies coloured red on the map. Nevertheless, almost all imperial history has been written on the assumption that the empire of forma…
Africa and the Victorians: The Official Mind of Imperialism
Imperialism in the eyes of the world is still Europe’s original sin, even though the empires themselves have long since disappeared. Among the most egregious of imperial acts was Victorian Britain’s seemingly random partition of Africa. In this classic work of history, a standard text for generations of students and historians now again available, the authors provide a unique account of the motives that went into the continent’s partition. Distru…
Nationalisms and the Crisis of Empire, 1919–1922
Once the British Empire became world-wide, the sun never set upon its crises. The historian who studies any of these crises in isolation does so at his peril, for their consequences tended to interlock. In the astounding geometry which the British Government constructed across the map of tropical Africa, many of the lines they drew were guided by pressures far away, in Ireland, in Egypt and in India. During the years between 1919 and 1922 a new a…
Britain and India between the Wars
In the nineteenth century, the British succeeded in deriving growing benefits from their Indian territories. With dominion firmly established, and the colonial connection beginning to take its modern shape, India came to fit less awkwardly with British economic interests. India now became Britain's best customer for her most important industry, a useful supplier of raw materials, a safe field for capital investment, a crucial element in her balan…
Congress in Decline: Bengal, 1930 to 1939
During the twenty years after the First World War, Indian politics were moulded by two main forces, each of which drew strength from the other. Important constitutional changes devolved a range of powers to Indians. But the British did not plan these reforms of 1919 and 1935 as stages by which they would quit India, bag and baggage, but rather as adjustments in the methods of keeping their Indian connection while retaining intact most of its fund…
