Les «silences» prêtés à Pie XII entre 1939 et 1945 ont suscité d’inépu isables polémiques. Le présent ouvrage dépasse le cadre de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale et replace Eugenio Pacelli, nonce en Allemagne en 191 7, secrétaire d’État en 1930, pape en 1939, dans le cadre général de l a stratégie du Vatican depuis la fin du XIXe siècle. Cette nouvelle édition, revue et augmentée, s’appuie sur l’acquis des travaux précédents, souvent ignorés en France, et puise surtout aux ar chives inexplorées (françaises, allemandes, anglaises et américaines). Elle apporte un éclairage très neuf à l’histoire du Vatican en tant q u’institution politique, auxiliaire de premier plan de l’Allemagne et des États-Unis, devenus puissance européenne au XXe siècle. Elle soul igne la remarquable continuité de la ligne politique, financière et te rritoriale de la Curie romaine, à l’inverse de la thèse courante de l’ antibolchevisme exclusif. Prenant en compte les découvertes majeures d es quinze dernières années, elle fait le point sur l’exceptionnelle mo bilisation depuis 1942 de l’ensemble de l’appareil de l’Église romaine pour le sauvetage-recyclage de masse des criminels de guerre, alleman ds et non allemands, à travers l’Europe et les deux Amériques.

Subtitled: "An Unrecorded Indulgence Printed by William Caxton for the Hospital of St Mary Rounceval, Charing Cross." Discusses and reproduces in facsimile a previously unknown Caxton printing of an indulgence, found in the form of vellum strips utilized in the binding of a nonce volume of other Caxton imprints in the Rosenwald collection. From the blurb: "In a remarkable feat of synthesis and historical imagination, Needham weaves together the stories of William Caxton, the wealthy cloth merchant who at fifty years of age mastered the newly invented art of printing and took the craft to England, of the broadside indulgence he printed, and of the institution he printed it for. The most common surviving form of early job-printing, indulgence instruments were used to raise funds for the Roman church and its institutions. The Printer & the Pardoner: An Unrecorded Indulgence Printed by William Caxton for the Hospital of St, Mary Rounceval, Charing Cross tells the story of that hospital, notorious for fund-raising activities carried on by such as Chaucer's Pardoner. Literary history, church history, printing history, and political and social history intersect in the study of the Rounceval indulgence. This newly discovered broadside from Caxton's shop becomes the forty-fourth item in a new census of Caxton imprints, published as Appendix D in The Printer & the Pardoner. This "Checklist of Caxton's Printing" includes 111 items, printed in Cologne, Bruges, Westminster, and Paris. It identifies every known piece of printing done by William Caxton and ranges them in a chronological sequence based on Needham's bibliographical researches.

Winter Light by Alfred Nicol, recipient of the 2004 Richard Wilbur Award, is a remarkable new collection of poems by a sure and steady hand in an astonishing variety of forms and voices. As Rhina Espaillat remarks, Winter Light contains a "flawless ballade, a sestina, sonnets, and nonce forms that make this book a delight to read. The syntax everywhere is unobtrusively elegant; the vocabulary fresh without self-consciousness; the imagery gorgeous, precise, and persuasive; and the rhymes surprising, unforced, and 'right.'" Ranging from the quiet lyric to the pitch-perfect dramatic monologue, Nicol transforms ordinary experiences into intriguing meditations on time, memory, loss, and the magic one finds in daily life. Contributing to those meditations are the various characters that Nicol conjures: Cocteau's Beast, a man who believes he wills the sun across the sky each day, a magician's daughter, a tattooed couple, and even an ibis. Yet, as Espaillat points out, "under that surface stir unquiet questions, tensions, challenges to faith, startling confessional hints, troubled memories, the sense of love gone sour and hope betrayed: a view of life not entirely sunny or simple." These are hard-earned poems, ones that question life and, ultimately, transform our vision.

Here a reader encounters a voice steeped in the music of the English language, a voice intent on the musical possibilities of poetry's open and nonce forms. In these pages, one finds a voice indebted to the power of metaphor-the capacity of metaphor to transform both language itself and the way we humans see this world.
