A People’s Reformation
Building the English Church in the Elizabethan Parish
A People’s Reformation offers a reinterpretation of the English Reformation and the roots of the Church of England. Drawing on archival research, Lucy Kaufman argues that England became a Protestant nation not in spite of its people, but because of them – through their active social, political, and religious participation.
À tout prendre et Il était une fois dans l’Est
Ce livre s’impose tel un véritable devoir de mémoire envers les pionniers du cinéma de fiction LGBTQ+ québécois avec ce premier et courageux aveu queer de Claude Jutra dans À tout prendre ainsi que la mise en scène par le duo Brassard-Tremblay dans Il était une fois dans l’Est d’une faune colorée s’affirmant dans un quartier modeste de Montréal.
Caught in the Current
British and Canadian Evangelicals in an Age of Self-Spirituality
By Sam Reimer
While Evangelicalism is known for its defence of orthodoxy and resistance to liberalizing trends, it is being reshaped by the modern zeitgeist in ways that evangelicals themselves do not realize. Offering an insider’s view into British and Canadian evangelical churches, Caught in the Current explores how and why evangelicals are changing.
Chronic Conditions
Chronic Conditions captures myriad ways in which the chronic conditions the sufferer. Karen Engle explores, through personal experience as well as research in medical history, literature, and art, how it feels to become attuned to the rhythms of ongoing physical pain.
The Eye of the Master
Figures of the Québécois Colonial Imaginary
The Eye of the Master confronts the missed opportunities for a decolonial vision of indépendance in Quebec and imagines a different future, detached from domination and exploitation, through models based in Indigenous thought and anti-racist, ecological, and feminist movements.
Gold’s Rounds
Medicine, McGill, and Growing Up Jewish in Montreal
By Phil Gold
Dr Phil Gold recounts a bygone era of the life of Jewish immigrants to Montreal on the Main, his marriage to the love of his life, studying with Sir Arnold Burgen, and the discovery of CEA, carcinoembryonic antigen. By turns heartrending, funny, and wise, Gold’s Rounds will be cherished by medical professionals and general readers.
Indict the Author of Affection
Affectation and Catachresis in Hamlet
Bradley Buchanan explores, in light of classical rhetorical theory and early modern intellectual culture, the many manifestations of affectation in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. He shows that the previously unexamined aspect of Shakespeare’s depictions of affectation lies in the catachrestic abuse of the word “affection” to signify affectation.
The Material City
Bodies, Minds, and the In-Between
Redirecting examinations of the culture of the city away from its customs, art, and amenities to focus on the mental life of modern society, The Material City translates contested views of everyday life and its management into a deeper reflection on urbanity as a system of desire.
Never Rest on Your Ores
Building a Mining Company, One Stone at a Time, Second Edition
In Never Rest on Your Ores, Keevil recounts how a team of engineers and entrepreneurs built Canada’s largest diversified mining company. Drawing lessons from the turbulent period between 2005 and 2023, this new edition is both entertaining and instructive, a rare insider’s account of an industry that has been crucial to the building of Canada.
Outspoken
A Manifesto for the Twenty-First Century
Outspoken interrogates the meaning and practice of being outspoken in a world of right-wing populism, global capitalism, and climate emergency. Some of the world’s most radical thinkers – Rosi Braidotti, Henry A. Giroux, Amelia Jones, and Slavoj Žižek, among others – chart progressive courses for political antagonism and social intervention.
Recovering an Undomesticated Apostle
Essays on the Legacy of Paul
While Paul the apostle is often imagined as prestigious and powerful, Recovering an Undomesticated Apostle repositions Paul as a man at the periphery of power. Essays explore his position of marginality and desperation in a struggle for social recognition as well as physical survival in the ancient Mediterranean underclass.
Scapegoat Carnivale’s Tragic Trilogy
Euripides’s Medea, Euripides’s Bacchae, and Sophocles’s Oedipus Tyrannus
Between 2010 and 2017 Scapegoat Carnivale presented new performances of Euripides’s Medea and Bacchae and Sophocles’s Oedipus Tyrannus. This book reproduces Scapegoat’s adaptations and invites readers to encounter these texts, giving them the tools to better understand where they came from and their relevance in contemporary theatre and life.
Words in Collision
Multilingualism in English-Language Fiction
For centuries, English-language writers have borrowed words and phrases from other languages in their fictional works. Words in Collision explores consequences of this tradition of language-mixing, asking why writers employ “foreign” phrases in their English-language texts and how this practice has evolved over time and place.
