This is the story of Charles Hare and his audacious escape from the fortress of Sarre-Libre (Sarre-Louis), then part of France, aft er six years as a prisoner of war. Hare was a midshipman in the Royal Navy who had been captured by the French in 1803 at the age of just thirteen. He escaped by impersonating an off icer in the Douanes, the French customs service. Remarkably, the uniform that he wore as a disguise survives and has recently entered the collection of Royal Museums Greenwich, along with a copy of Hare's autobiographical account of his adventures. Having undergone extensive conservation, the uniform will be on display from October 2024 in the National Maritime Museum's 'Nelson, Navy, Nation' gallery. Through detailed photography and a range of complementary objects, curator Dr Katherine Gazzard tells the deeply personal and unique story of Hare, tracking his dangerous journey across Europe. She also examines the materials and insignia of the uniform and traces the history of the Douanes from their foundation in the French Revolution to their role as an imperial directorate under Napoleon. The book concludes with a consideration of Hare's experiences within the context of prisoners of war more broadly.

Through a reappraisal of the work of four major figures in critical theory - Ernst Bloch, Georg Lukács, Theodor Adorno, and Walter Benjamin - Filippo Menozzi rethinks the tradition of critical theory in relation to pressing concerns in postcolonial studies. Revealing these authors' continued relevance to urgent issues in the 21st century, from struggles against racism to social movements and the transmutations of global capitalism, Menozzi reimagines them as central to an alternative genealogy of critical theory that moves beyond their European provenance and the limitations of "Western Marxism". In doing so, this book challenges, more broadly, the view of critical theory as steeped in Eurocentrism, culturally conservative, and politically defeatist. Contesting this in four chapters, Postcolonial Historical Materialism inserts Adorno, Lukács, Bloch, and Benjamin into key contemporary sites of militancy and debate.Engaging with a wide range of European and non-European sources, Menozzi proposes a new concept of "postcolonial historical materialism", indicating how the heritage of critical theory can reopen global possibilities of utopia and revolution in a non-utopian age of global emergencies, social unrest, and the unfinished history of decolonisation.

Letters to Franca offers an extensive selection from the 500 or so extraordinary letters Louis Althusser addressed to Franca Madonia between 1961 and 1972, the most productive period in Althusser's life and the time when his most characteristic works were being elaborated and first received. This correspondence allows, therefore, a unique insight into Althusser's theoretical and political trajectory, giving an intimate account of the establishment of Althusserian Marxism and the intellectual, historical and institutional milieu within which it came to prominence. It also charts the singular story of Althusser's relationship with Franca, whom he encountered in 1961 and who became his lover, intellectual confidante and Italian translator; the letters thus have a quasi-novelistic dimension and afford a gripping vision of a remarkable couple, the chronicle of a passion. Their correspondence consequently exhibits an exceptionally diverse tonal range, alternately analytical, lyrical, ludic and sombre, displaying an investment in language and expressionbarely suggested by Althusser's previously published work. At once the diary of an intellectual-political existence and the narrative of a coup de foudre, these letters also uniquely provide an astonishingly self-reflexive account of Althusser's experience of manic depression, inviting the reader to witness its sometimes exhilarating, sometimes devastating effects upon his private and public being. Featuring an extensive record of Althusser's long-term engagement with the thought and practice of psychoanalysis, Letters to Franca bids the reader, here and throughout, to accompany Althusser on a fascinating journey - between theory and life.
