Le volume XV des Œuvres complètes contient des ouvrages politiques rédigés entre 1819 et 1821. On y trouve les textes partiellement inédits des leçons sur la constitution anglaise prononcées en 1819 à l’Athénée royal de Paris, y compris l’Éloge de Sir Samuel Romilly et le texte sur la liberté des Anciens et des Modernes, ainsi que toutes les brochures et pamphlets politiques rédigées en 1819 et 1820, années marquées par les succès du parti libéral et la grande crise intérieure de la France déclenchée par l’assassinat du duc de Berry. Les ouvrages font écho aux discours prononcés à la Chambre des Députés et aux très nombreux articles de journaux de Constant, textes à paraître dans les tomes XII et XIII des Œuvres complètes. Cet ensemble tripartite d’ouvrages constitue le cadre pour les Mémoires sur les Cent-Jours (tome XIV) qui, replacés dans ce contexte, se révèlent être à la fois un écrit historique et un livre de combat. Volume XV presents political texts written by Constant between 1819 and 1821, a period characterized by the success of the liberal party and the great domestic crisis in France caused by the assassination of the Duke of Berry. Constant’s writings react to the speeches presented to the Chamber of Deputies and reflect his journalist publications of those years, which will be published in volumes XII and XIII of the Œuvres complètes.

Thomas Traherne [1637? - 1674], a clergyman of the Church of England during the Restoration, was little known until the early twentieth century, when his poetry and Centuries of Meditations were discovered. There have been since miscellaneous publications of his poetry and devotional writings.
The Works of Thomas Traherne brings together all of Traherne's extant works in a definitive, printed edition for the first time. It will include both his published and unpublished works, and his notebooks, presenting them insofar as possible by manuscript, giving due attention to their physical aspects and to their integrity as manuscript books.
Volumes II and III make available The Commentaries of Heaven, preserved in one manuscript held at the British Library. Organised topically, it was intended to cover the whole of the alphabet but extends only through `A' and part of `B', with 95 prose articles altogether. It possesses the charactertistics of a commonplace book, encyclopaedia and dictionary, and contains poetry, meditations, philosophical discourse, and polemic. The unusual range of subjects treated, from `Abhorrence' to `Ant', `Aristotle' to `Atom', shows Traherne to be an imaginative and compelling writer in his approach to Christian theology, while maintaining both his integrity and orthodoxy as a priest.

Mitford (later to become the first Lord Redesdale) was an urbane aristocrat, had charm, looks and excellent manners. He was always in the right place at the right time, almost drowned, could have burned to death, was shot at, and was nearly cut down by samurai swords. But 'Bertie', as he was known, was never fazed by events. He stood face-to-face with the new, teenage Emperor when almost everybody else, including the Shogun, could only talk to him behind a screen. He became friendly with the last Shogun and witnessed a hara-kiri, his atmospheric account of which is now a classic. An accomplished linguist and writer, Mitford was the outstanding chronicler of the Meiji Restoration, complementing the writings of his contemporary Ernest Satow. This book will be of particular interest to students and readers of Japanese history, as well as readers of nineteenth-century biography in general. It will also have special appeal to those who are familiar with the Mitford family history.

The ten essays in Literature and the Arts explore the intermedial plenitude of eighteenth-century English culture, honoring the memory of James Anderson Winn, whose work demonstrated how seeing that interplay of the arts and literature was essential to a full understanding of Restoration and eighteenth-century English culture. Scenery, machinery, music, dance, and texts transformed one another, both enriching and complicating generic distinctions. Artists were alive to the power of the arts to reflect and shape reality, and their audience was quick to turn to the arts as performative pleasures and critical lenses through which to understand a changing world. This collection's eminent authors discuss estate design, musicalized theater, the visual spectacle of musical performance, stage machinery and set designs, the social uses of painting and singing, drama’s reflection of a transformed military infrastructure, and the arts of memory and of laughter.
