La storia del Sacro Romano Impero è il cuore dell'esperienza europea. Nessuno prima di Peter H. Wilson ne ha saputo restituire in modo così organico la vicenda millenaria, decisiva ed esemplare nonostante Voltaire amasse sostenere che il «mosaico» imperiale non fu «né sacro, né romano, né un impero» e Hegel ne descrivesse la Costituzione come un edificio di pietre tonde che sarebbero rotolate via con una spinta. A partire dall'antefatto – la celebre incoronazione di Carlo Magno – per giung...

In Saudi Arabia today a classic confrontation between Islamic fundamentalism and modernism has brought the Saudi banking system virtually to a state of paralysis. The debate is between those upholding the traditional Islamic prohibition against charging interest on loans and those who wish to see a modern banking system capable of generating credit to support economic development. Drawing on personal experience, interviews, and unpublished primary sources, Peter Wilson tells a dramatic sto...

Provides an introduction to the life and works of Ezra Pound, a major modernist poet, theorist and literary critic. Throughout his life Pound was regarded by many to be a contentious and controversial figure, and since his death in 1972, theoretical, literary, political and biographical comentators have done much to perpetuate this view. Peter Wilson's survey, however, presents a balanced view of his life and work allowing the reader to judge for themselves. The major sections of the book ...

We rarely speak or even write in the complete sentences that are often held to be the ideal form of linguistic communication. Language is, in fact, full of gaps, because speakers and writers operate in contexts which allow bits of language to be understood rather than expressed. This book systematically analyses this inherent gappiness of language, known as ellipsis, and provides an account of the different contexts, both linguistic and situational, which affect its use. Peter Wilson draws...

In contrast to the later german states, the Empire was inherently defensive, yet many of its component territories embarked on expansionist, militaristic policies, creati...
