Creating an empire of informers -- Abbreviations -- Bibliography -- Index of Personal Names -- Index of Divine Names -- Index of Place Names -- Index of Ancient TextsThroughout history, many states have attempted to harness the attention of their populations for their own ends. This study argues that the Assyrian Empire in the year 672 BC is such a case. In 672 BC, Esarhaddon, King of Assyria, imposed a succession covenant (adê) on his subjects, the inhabitants of the Assyrian Empire. This covenant required the empire’s population to monitor one another, and themselves, for signs of disloyalty to the monarch and his chosen successor, Ashurbanipal. This study examines the aims and outcomes, desired and undesired, of imposing this duty of vigilance across the Assyrian Empire. To consider the presentation and implementation of this duty of vigilance, the study draws largely on evidence supplied by the covenant and other royally-commissioned texts. To examine the outcomes of the covenant’s enactment, meanwhile, it explores cuneiform sources, such as letters to the crown, private legal documents, and literary compositions, as well as the Aramaic Story of Ahiqar and the biblical Book of Deuteronomy. By providing a sustained analysis of the real-world implications and outcomes of the covenant, this book sheds new light on a text that fundamentally altered the political makeup of the Assyrian Empire.Vigilanzkulturen / Cultures of Vigilance SeriesHISTORY / Ancient / GeneralbisacshHISTORY / Ancient / General.935.03Tushingham Poppy1737386MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996596172303316Creating an Empire of Informers4159094UNISA01629ojm 2200265z- 450 991016326790332120251118110751.01-68168-446-2(CKB)3710000001046971(BIP)060401467(ODN)ODN0003079052(EXLCZ)99371000000104697120231107c2017uuuu -u- -engJonathan Swift : The Reluctant RebelHighBridge AudioJonathan Swift's world-famous books?from Gulliver's Travels to A Modest Proposal?are unparalleled in their piercing critique of modern society. Half-orphaned, a Dubliner by birth, but a man who would always insist he was English, Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was a figure of great contradictions. An essayist, political pamphleteer, poet, and cleric who became dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, Swift satirized the powerful but aspired to political greatness, mocked men's vanity but held himself in high esteem, and was a religious moralizer famed for his malice?a man sharply aware of humanity's flaws, but no less susceptible to them.At once a revealing biography of a life that encompasses writing on religion, class, sex, power, and poverty and a portrait of the foremost political writer of his day, Jonathan Swift draws a vivid and nuanced account of an extraordinary man and a turbulent period of history.Jonathan Swift828.509Stubbs John1438597Perkins Derek1956-nrtAUDIO9910163267903321Jonathan Swift : The Reluctant Rebel3600151UNINA
