I aim to commission broad and ambitious books across the whole of the humanities, with specific attention to history, literature, religion, and philosophy. It is crucially important that the books I publish communicate original and authoritative scholarship to the widest possible audience; it is also my priority to publish books that augment and extend av福利社鈥檚 historic strengths in the humanities. Many of the books I publish could be identified within recognizable genres: comprehensive intellectual and literary biographies such as Marion Turner鈥檚 Chaucer: A European Life, Ann Jefferson鈥檚 Nathalie Sarraute: A Life Between, and Richard Bourke鈥檚 Empire and Revolution: The Political Life of Edmund Burke; new syntheses of historical periods, powers, or traditions, such as Shruti Kapila鈥檚 Violent Fraternity: Indian Political Thought in the Global Age, Nicola Miller鈥檚 Republics of Knowledge: Nations of the Future in Latin America and Helen Pfeifer鈥檚 Empire of Salons: Conquest and Community in Early Modern Ottoman Lands; engaging philosophical works such as Clare Carlisle鈥檚 Spinoza鈥檚 Religion, Mara Van Der Lugt鈥檚 Dark Matters: Pessimism and the Problem of Suffering, and Brian O鈥機onnor鈥檚 Idleness: A Philosophical Essay; and exciting first books by young scholars with a fresh perspective, such as Banu Turnaog虇lu鈥檚 The Formation of Turkish Republicanism and Tim Rogan鈥檚 The Moral Economists.
