• Sommario/riassunto: Considering a variety of questions centering on magic and, or in, performance, this volume furthers the debate about the cultural work performed by representations of magic on the early modern English ; stage. Collectively the essays show that the idea of transformation applies not only to the objects and subjects of magic, but that the plays themselves can be seen as working to effect transformation in the ways that they challenge contemporary assumptions and stereotypes.

The blemish of government, the shame of religion, the disgrace of mankinde; or, A charge drawn up against drunkards, and presented to His Highness the Lord Protector, in the name of all the sober partie in the three nations [[electronic resource] ] : Humbly craving, that they may be kept alone by themselves from infecting others; compelled to work and earn what they consume : and that none may be suffered to sell drink, who shall either swear, or be drunk themselves, or suffer others within their walls. / / By R. Younge of Roxwell in Essex

• Sommario/riassunto: Gli studi sul movimento femminista italiano presentano ancora molte lacune, e questo volume ne colma una fondamentale: quella della comparsa del femminismo della cosiddetta “seconda ondata” (quello degli anni Settanta) da uno dei luoghi simbolo del Sessantotto studentesco (la facoltà di Sociologia di Trento). È la storia di un’altra rivoluzione e, al contempo, di una rivoluzione altra, quella delle donne. Un lavoro di ricerca che mette in dialogo la storia delle donne e la sociologia dei movimenti sociali, in cui la vicenda locale viene costantemente posta in relazione al più ampio quadro italiano, con un ricco e inedito corpus di documenti e le interviste condotte con le protagoniste. E al contempo un racconto di grande vivacità, che restituisce pienamente l’atmosfera di quegli anni attraversati da grandi ; passioni.
