Dowland's Lachrimae (1604) is perhaps the greatest but most enigmatic publication of instrumental music from before the eighteenth century. This new handbook, the first detailed study of the collection, investigates its publication history, its instrumentation, its place in the history of Renaissance dance music, and its reception history. Two extended chapters examine the twenty-one pieces in the collection in detail, discussing the complex internal relationships between the cycle of seven 'Lachrimae' pavans, the relationships between them and other pieces inside and outside the collection, and possible connections between the Latin titles of the seven pavans and Elizabethan conceptions of melancholy. The extraordinarily multi-faceted nature of the collection also leads the author to illuminate questions of patronage, the ordering and format of the collection, pitch and transposition, tonality and modality, and even numerology.

"John Locke (1632-1704), one of the great philosophers, is probably best known for his contributions to political thought. In this outstanding volume, Eric Mack explains Locke's philosophical position, placing it in the tumultuous political and religious context of 17th century England. For Locke, entering into political society did not involve giving up one's natural rights, but rather transferring to governmental authority the job of protecting those rights. In this rigorous critical analysis, Mack argues that Locke provides an impressive - if not decisive - philosophical case for the view that individuals have natural rights to life, liberty and property, despite the existence or actions of any political authority."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside John Leech, His Life and Work, Vol. II (of II): Look inside the book: He was right, and, happily for the world, he became convinced that, even if he had the power to fully 'carry out'-as we call it-one of his drawings into a completed oil picture, the time required would have deprived us of immortal sketches; and though he undoubtedly 'left off where difficulties begin'-as I once heard a painter, who was exasperated at Leech's sneers at his manipulation, say to him-he has left behind him work which will continue to delight succeeding generations so long as wit, humour, character and beauty are appreciated-that is to say, so long as human nature endures ... He had not been well; picking up 'a thousand stones in a thousand hours,' to which he likened his unceasing work, had begun to tell upon him; and in reply to my warning, that, for his own sake, to say nothing of the interests of Punch, he should husband his strength-for, I added, 'If anything happened to you, who are 'the backbone of Punch,' what would become of the paper?'-I can see his smile as I hear him say, 'Don't talk such rubbish!

The 100th anniversary of John Dewey's "Democracy and Education" was a valuable opportunity for the doctoral candidates of Pedagogical Sciences of the University of Bologna to observe some conceptual issues that emerge in the famous Deweyan work. They have identifyed four core themes, that were the subject of a seminar held in December 2016 at the Department of Educational Sciences "Giovanni Maria Bertin" and constitute the articulation of the four sections of this volume.
