Many assume that kings and queens received the best education available, but this book examines the reality of British sovereigns' education from the Tudor period to the 20th century. The seriousness of education varied significantly over time. For instance, Henry VIII and his children were educated during the Renaissance, a period that valued educational ideas. Queen Elizabeth I was exceptionally well educated, while Queen Elizabeth II's education was considered "undemanding" due to her parents' desire for her to have a happy childhood. Authors Peter Gordon and Denis Lawton trace the evolution of royal education, linking it to changing educational theories and the political, social, and religious contexts of the time. The monarchy itself transformed from the semi-absolute authority of the Tudors to a more limited monarchy by the end of the Stuart period, culminating in the constitutional monarchy of the 20th century. The book poses critical questions about how these changes impacted royal education and what kind of education is suitable for future monarchs in today's democratic society. Through their exploration, the authors confront these questions and seek to provide insights into the appropriate educational paths for modern royalty.

A beautifully written exploration of religion's role in a secular, modern politics, by an accomplished scholar of critical theory Migrants in the Profane takes its title from an intriguing remark by Theodor W. Adorno, in which he summarized the meaning of Walter Benjamin's image of a celebrated mechanical chess-playing Turk and its hidden religious animus: "Nothing of theological content will persist without being transformed; every content will have to put itself to the test of migrating in the realm of the secular, the profane." In this masterful book, Peter Gordon reflects on Adorno's statement and asks an urgent question: Can religion offer any normative resources for modern political life, or does the appeal to religious concepts stand in conflict with the idea of modern politics as a domain free from religion's influence? In answering this question, he explores the work of three of the Frankfurt School's most esteemed thinkers: Walter Benjamin, Max Horkheimer, and Theodor W. Adorno. His illuminating analysis offers a highly original account of the intertwined histories of religion and secular modernity.
