In this book, originally published in 1975, Dr Alan Hughes explores issues in the method of political psychology and the rather elusive concept of alienation as a sentiment, presenting a scale for the measurement of alienation as well as scales for measuring authoritarian personality tendency and ethnic bigotry. These scales are used to clarify the origin and nature of ethnic prejudice, particularly anti-Semitism. In presenting fresh research techniques and substantive discoveries, Dr Hughes show how survey data may be analysed to identify structures in political attitudes, for example varieties of radicalism, and the intricate bearing of disposition on individual political experience. A central argument is that political issues 'cluster' in such a way as to make nonsense of the notion of a single Left-Right dimension. This book is not confined to statistical analysis. Its aim is to combine reliable 'hard data' with case-studies which are both illustrative and suggestive and which put individuals under a spotlight. The strength of this work is largely to be found in its vivid depiction of the political mind at work.

The New Cambridge Shakespeare appeals to students worldwide for its up-to-date scholarship and emphasis on performance. The series features line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays and poems. Introductions are regularly refreshed with accounts of new critical, stage and screen interpretations. For this second edition of Titus Andronicus Sue Hall-Smith has written a new section on recent scholarship and important contemporary performances of the play. The edition retains the text prepared by Alan Hughes, based on the first quarto and supplemented by crucial additions and stage directions from the Folio. In the introduction, Hughes contradicts the historically popular view that Titus Andronicus is a poor play of dubious authorship. Joining the growing ranks of critics who take the play seriously, Hughes applauds its thematic unity and grim humour, and demonstrates that it is the work of a brilliant stage craftsman, confident in his mastery of space, movement and verse.

Alan Hughes presents a new complete account of production methods in Greek comedy. The book summarises contemporary research and disputes, on such topics as acting techniques, theatre buildings, masks and costumes, music and the chorus. Evidence is re-interpreted and traditional doctrine overthrown. Comedy is presented as the pan-Hellenic, visual art of theatre, not as Athenian literature. Recent discoveries in visual evidence are used to stimulate significant historical revisions. The author has directly examined 350 vase scenes of comedy in performance and actor-figurines, in 75 collections, from Melbourne to St Petersburg. Their testimony is applied to acting techniques and costumes, and women's participation in comedy and mime. The chapters are arranged by topic, for convenient reference by scholars and students of theatre history, literature, classics and drama. Overall, the book provides a fresh practical insight into this continually developing subject.
