Resum: Parlar de la novel·la històrica en la producció de Josep Lozano s’associa indubtablement a la prestigiosa obra Crim de Germania que l’autor riberenc mostrava al públic l’any 1980. Més de vint anys després reprenia aquest format per a crear El Mut de la Campana (2003) i, de nou, demostrava la seua mestria dins d’aquest gènere. L’objectiu i la configuració interna en ambdues és diferent però el que va empentar l’autor en la dècada dels 80 a usar aquesta vessant creativa tan de moda aleshores persisteix: tornar a un temps passat i contar-lo en una època actual a través del filtre de la ficció i així mostrar quina societat ha sigut i és la societat valenciana. Una societat, aquesta, que sobreïx en tot moment de les dues obres per a demostrar com funciona col·lectivament, així com què la determina des d’un punt de vista idiosincràtic. Paraules clau: novel·la històrica, marc, anàlisi narrativa, etnopoètica, folklore. Abstract: Any analysis about Josep Lozano’s historical novels is undoubtedly associated to his prestigious work Crim de Germania, which the Ribera born author released in 1980. Some 20 years later he created another historical novel, El Mut de la Campana (2003), once again showing his mastery of the genre. The purpose and structure of both works are different, but what motivated the author to use such a creative format in the 80’s persists today: travel back in time, and tell the story as if it were the modern day through a fictional filter and, in doing so, showing what Valencian society was like. A society, this one, which is prevalent throughout both works, shows how it works collectively as well as how it is defined by its idiosyncrasies.Keywords: historical literature, frame, narrative analysis, ethnopoetics, folklore.

Do So

In this article I analyze how Americans draw upon the authority of both ancient, so-called “hidden” texts and the authority of scholarly discourse, even overtly fictional scholarly discourse, in their imaginings of the “re-discovered” figure of Mary Magdalene. Reading recent treatments of Mary Magdalene provides me with an entrance onto three topics: how Americans see and use the past, how Americans understand knowledge itself, and how Americans construct “religion” and “spirituality.” I do so through close studies of contemporary websites of communities that focus on Mary Magdalene, as well as examinations of relevant books, historical novels, reader reviews, and comic books. Focusing on Mary Magdalene alongside tropes of wisdom also uncovers the gendered dynamics at play in constructions of antiquity, knowledge, and religious accessibility.

A major debate neglected by accounting historians is the importance of landlords in the English agricultural revolution. The paper uses accounting evidence from the historical literature to test Marx's theory that, from around 1750, England's landlords played a pivotal role by adopting and then spreading the capitalist mentality and social relations by enclosures and changes in the management of their estates and tenants. It gives an accounting interpretation of Marx's theory of rent and argues that the available evidence supports his view that the conversion of English landlords to capitalism underlay the later stages of the agricultural revolution. The conclusion explains the linkages in Marx's theory between the agricultural and industrial revolutions, and calls on accounting historians to conduct archival research into the agricultural roots of modern capitalism.

The Revolution

The conclusion makes two arguments. First, it takes the position common in the historical literature that the American Revolution was a comparatively placid one, with few killings of civilians, little property destruction, and no reign of terror. It argues that the placidity was a consequence of legal continuity—the same courts, judges, and juries that had governed the colonies in 1770 in large part continued to govern the new American states in 1780. During the course of the War of Independence itself, legal and constitutional change occurred almost entirely at the top, and, except in the few places occupied by the British military, life went on largely as it always had. The conclusion also argues that old ideas of unwritten constitutionalism persisted during and after the Revolution, but that a new idea that constitutions should be written to avoid ambiguity emerged beside the old ideas.
