Les appels de Margaret Fell pour convertir les Juifs : de l’émancipation à la soumission chez la première femme Quaker by Frédéric Herrmann

Yet, the full force of Fell’s rhetoric of conversion, steeped in the spiritualistic Quaker denunciation of Jewish legalism tends to mitigate this picture. …”

The Soviet-British Relations at the Turn of 1917/1918: Key Issues and Untapped Opportunities by E. Yu. Sergeev

“…The author emphasizes that position of the British political elites regarding the seizure of power in Russia by Vladimir Lenin and his supporters was not as straightforward as it was portrayed by the Soviet and Russian historiography: the British politicians faced a dilemma since they did not want to see Russia either as a neutral country or an enemy. On the basis of contemporaries’ memoirs and diaries, previously unstudied official documents as well as a comparative analysis of the Russian and Western historiography, especially the recent publications, the author assesses successes and failures of both the Foreign Office and the People’s Commissariat of Foreign Affairs in the late 1917 and early 1918 – the least studied period in the history of the Soviet-British relations. …”
