Book Description
Published in 1998, J. M. Robertson: Rationalist and Literary Critic is a study of the life of one of the most erudite and prolific critics of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Scotsman John MacKinnon Robertson (1856-1933), rationalist and enemy of religion to the core, published over one hundred books and thousands of articles in fields as diverse as sociology, economics, history, anthropology, biblical criticism and literary criticism. This once widely known (and feared!) author was all too quickly forgotten after his death and his work is now seldom read. The aim of this book is to demonstrate that Robertson’s writings and in particular his acute and powerful literary criticism – much respected by T. S. Eliot – have not lost their relevance for late twentieth century readers. Moreover, through the examinations of Robertson’s work in its contextual framework, this study provides a wide-ranging perspective on the late-Victorian literary scene, which perhaps present-day literary historians have not given the detailed attention it deserves.

Book Description
Research into the ways in which the past is constructed and consumed in the present is now reaching a mature stage. This maturity derives from the general acceptance that heritage as a social and cultural construct is closely connected to the making and maintaining of identity at all spatial scales. This unique book contributes to the developing discourse by focusing on 'heritage from below' in a field where the literature on the relationship between heritage and identity has, rightly, been focused on national identity. Never before have the contemporary manifestations and the theoretical structuring framework of the idea of heritage from below been discussed in the depth offered by this book. The authors first establish the concept and then engage with the actual practice and practitioners of heritage from below in the UK, Europe, Australia and North America.

Book Description
A continuation of Robertson's A History of Freethought, Ancient and Modern, this work centred on Europe and American freethought in the century that saw the greatest surge of religious doubt and scepticism. At the heart of this work lies the doctrine of evolution and the birth of 'new' sciences like anthropology, psychology, sociology and the growth of ethics without religious dogma. Together these works tell an exciting story and would be of benefit to all students of the history of ideas whatever their core interest. --sole lifetime edition of major and pioneering intellectual source book --important biographical source for pre and post-Darwinian religious thinking in Europe and America --attractively illustrated with 48 portraits --packed with cross-references and bibliographical information --relevant to all historians of ideas
