What would it be like to chat with one of the most influential theologians in history? Martin Luther’s Table Talk is a collection of over 900 statements Luther made during personal conversation with his friends and colleagues. The collection is organized into 48 topical sections and covers Luther’s thoughts on a wide variety of theological, personal and social issues. The original Table Talk manuscript was discovered by accident during a house renovation, after having been buried in the ground for safekeeping during the time of the book burning edict of Rudolphus II, who called for the destruction of all 80,000 copies of the book (at that time entitled Divine Discourses) and the death penalty for anyone in possession of it. It is a truly indispensable resource for anyone interested in the reformation and its founder.

How did ideas of masculinity shape the British legal profession and the wider expectations of the white-collar professional? Brotherhood of Barristers examines the cultural history of the Inns of Court – four legal societies whose rituals of symbolic brotherhood took place in their supposedly ancient halls. These societies invented traditions to create a sense of belonging among members – or, conversely, to marginalize those who did not fit the profession's ideals. Ren Pepitone examines the legal profession's efforts to maintain an exclusive, masculine culture in the face of sweeping social changes across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Utilizing established sources such as institutional records alongside diaries, guidebooks, and newspapers, this book looks afresh at the gendered operations of Victorian professional life. Brotherhood of Barristers incorporates a diverse array of historical actors, from the bar's most high-flying to struggling law students, disbarred barristers, political radicals, and women's rights campaigners.
