Book excerpt: This historical thriller set in 1914 brings the acclaimed British author’s “splendidly entertaining” Honour series to an explosive conclusion (The Guardian). As Europe hurdles toward World War I, the French American anarchist Grover Langhorn is arrested in London. But before he can be extradited to face trial, he reveals a secret more threatening to the crown than any bomb: Langhorn is King Henry V’s illegitimate son—and heir to the throne. Now Cpt. Matthew Ranklin and his partner Conall O’Gilroy of the newly formed British Secret Service are tasked with investigating Langhorn’s audacious—yet credible—claim. But in order to save the king from himself, they must delve into the unseemly secrets of his past. And soon they discover that closing this case will require opening a Pandora’s box of mayhem, murder, and international conspiracy.

Book excerpt: Honourable Intentions? compares the significance and strategic use of ‘honour’ in two colonial societies, the Cape Colony and the early British settlements in Australia, between 1750 and 1850. The mobile populations of emigrants and sojourners, sailors and soldiers, merchants and traders, slaves and convicts who surged into and through these regions are not usually associated with ideas of honour. But in both societies, competing and contradictory notions of honour proved integral to the ways in which colonisers and colonised, free and unfree, defended their status and insisted on their right to be treated with respect. During these times of flux, concepts of honour and status were radically reconstructed. Each of the thirteen chapters considers honour in a particular sphere - legal, political, religious or personal - and in different contexts determined by the distinctive and changing matrix of race, gender and class, as well as the distinctions of free and unfree status in each colony. Early chapters in the volume show how and why the political, ideological and moral stakes of the concept of honour were particularly important in colonial societies; later chapters look more closely at the social behaviour and the purchase of honour among specific groups. Collectively, the chapters show that there was no clear distinction between political and social life, and that honour crossed between the public and private spheres. This exciting new collection brings together new and established historians of Australia and South Africa to highlight thought-provoking parallels and contrasts between the Cape and Australian colonies that will be of interest to all scholars of colonial societies and the concept of honour.
