Review Of Elizabeth I And Mary Stuart: The Perils Of Marriage By Anka Muhlstein, Carole Levin, Amber Harris Leichner
Review Of Elizabeth I And Mary Stuart: The Perils Of Marriage By Anka Muhlstein, Carole Levin, Amber Harris Leichner
Department of History: Faculty Publications
The author of this study is not the first biographer to bring Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart together, but her study of these queens applies a specific lens to the enterprise: the negotiation and influence of marriage on their lives and reigns. Beginning with the question of how marriage “affected queens regnant in the age of absolute monarchies,” Anka Muhlstein proceeds to explore how marriage affected Elizabeth and Mary from their earliest years as young princesses through the constant pressures to find appropriate husbands amidst political and religious rivalries (1). Elizabeth never married, and Muhlstein’s central argument is that Elizabeth’s …
Review Of Anne Laurence, Women In England, 1500-1760: A Social History, Carole Levin
Review Of Anne Laurence, Women In England, 1500-1760: A Social History, Carole Levin
Department of History: Faculty Publications
Anne Laurence's study of the social history of women in early modem England has much to recommend it, though it will probably be much more appealing for students than for scholars doing serious research. The purpose of this book, as Laurence states it, is to examine the experience of a wide variety of women, and how expectations about women may have changed between 1500 and 1760, from the Reformation to the Industrial Revolution. The goals in her study include not only seeing the differences between male and female experience but also the differences as well as shared experience for women …

Department of History: Faculty Publications
Both of us came into the history profession in the early 1990s and went through graduate school just before the remarkable emergence of the World Wide Web. Of course, we can see now that a communication revolution was taking place during those years and that it was changing the way we do historical scholarship and teaching. After the development of browsers like Mosaic Netscape and Netscape Navigator in 1994, the web grew at an astonishing rate into a global information network. Even at the early stages of the web’s growth, history was all over the web. Amazingly, people rushed to …
The Young Turk Revolution: Its Impact On Religious Politics Of Jerusalem (1908-1912), Bedross Der Matossian
The Young Turk Revolution: Its Impact On Religious Politics Of Jerusalem (1908-1912), Bedross Der Matossian
Department of History: Faculty Publications
The Young Turk revolution of 1908 was a milestone in defining the struggles in the intra-ethnic power relations in the Ottoman Empire. The most dominant of these struggles took place in the realm of ecclesiastic politics in Jerusalem. With its Armenian and Greek Patriarchates and the Chief Rabbinate, Jerusalem became a focal point of the power struggle among the Jews, Armenians, and Greeks in the Ottoman Empire. The importance that the ethno-religious and secular leadership in Istanbul gave to the crisis in Jerusalem demonstrates the centrality of Jerusalem in ethnic politics in the Empire. Furthermore, it shows how the Question …

On April 14, 2009, the International Crisis Group (ICG), a think tank that provides suggestions on conflict resolutions around the globe, issued a report entitled Turkey and Armenia: Opening Minds, Opening Borders in which it made recommendations for Armenian-Turkish reconciliation and the establishment of bilateral relations between the Republics of Armenia and Turkey. The report was published after the newly elected American President, Barack Obama, visited Turkey in early April 2009, and eight days before the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Turkey and the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs issued a joint …
The Pontic Armenian Communities In The Nineteenth Century, Bedross Der Matossian
The Pontic Armenian Communities In The Nineteenth Century, Bedross Der Matossian
Department of History: Faculty Publications
The Pontic Armenian communities of the nineteenth century were distinguished from those of previous centuries in that they were exposed to major social, economic, and political transformations. Social transformation entailed enlightenment of an emerging middle class and revival of Armenian national consciousness; economic transformation was characterized by advancement in the standard of living and growing prosperity; and political transformation entailed participation in the local administration, the adoption in Constantinople of an Armenian "National Constitution," which broadened the administration of the confessional-based Armenian millet to include the middle class, and in the latter part of the century the emergence of Armenian …
