Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of London in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth Composed as a study of the London environment of Shakespeare, of the scenes and circumstances amid which his plays were originally produced, this little work, by the addition of the Itinerary now made to it, may serve the purpose of a Guide to Shakespeare's London, Past and Present. The Commentary, how ever, is limited to the life and work of the poet in London: the Itinerary itself follows the same lines. Of the London which Shakespeare knew there are happily existing more reliques than are noticed in these pages: in the city are churches which he may have visited, which could hardly be included in a practical working Itinerary. These may be added to the suggested perambulations according to con venience and opportunity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen Elizabeth These were not creditable proceedings to submit to the judgment of'the English people. They were not attached to Catherine, and they ardently wished for a male successor to the throne. They had not sympathised with the King's foreign policy, and they longed to be free from its complications, and manage their national concerns in peace. They had no love for the Pope, and wished priests and monks to be reduced to their due place in the new society which was slowly coming into existence. They were desirous of more common-sense and simplicity in religious matters, and had little sympathy with the old-fashioned pretentiousness of the Churchmen. They were quite willing that the King should manage his personal matters as he thought best, provided he left them in peace. But still, when all had been done and settled, they shook their heads, and felt that there had been at work an amount of.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Quarter Sessions From Queen Elizabeth to Queen Anne: Illustrations of Local Government and History, Drawn From Original Records (Chiefly of the County of Devon) This volume consists almost entirely of a series of papers _contributed to Fraser's Magazine during the last two years. I have been encouraged to reprint them in a more permanent form, but the utmost that I can hope for them is that they may be recognized as affording some glimpses of the history of England from a new point of view. It is not easy to find any material for history which has been neglected by the diligent explorers of recent times, ' but I cannot discover that any use has been hitherto made of the records of Quarter Sessions. They are not a very inviting study, for the great bulk of them is composed of merely formal and very monotonous documents, from which the more valuable facts can only be extracted by much patient labour. I venture to think, however, that the labour has not been without its reward, as it has recovered Some clear and most trustworthy evidence respecting the condition of the provincial districts of England in former.

Download or read book Sovereignty and Intelligence written by John Michael Archer and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book examines the configurations of surveillance, sovereignty, and the accompanying forms of subjectivity and knowledge in the transition to modernity. The association of sovereignty with intelligence extended far beyond the identification of sovereignty with the personal power of the sovereign. In Montaigne's France, sovereignty appeared in a disseminated form. Montaigne's Essais exemplify the situation of the courtier self-fashioned to serve an absent sovereign; like Lacan's subject, he is looked at from all sides. Montaigne's description of the search for self-knowledge as self-spying reveals how deeply this quest was implicated in a culture of courtly surveillance. At Elizabeth's court, observation evolved into political espionage based on a system of courtly patronage and employed as a means of policing sexuality centered on the unmarried monarch. Sidney's Arcadia inscribes ways of coping, with the anxieties produced by this surveillance-fraught environment.".
Download or read book Strangers Settled Here Amongst Us written by Laura Hunt Yungblut and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the reign of Elizabeth I, large numbers of aliens immigrated into England for various reasons, most notably to escape religious persecution and the wars that wrecked the Continent in the sixteenth century. Much like governments facing immigration issues today, England's governors struggled to strike a balance between the potentially beneficial and the potentially dangerous aspects of the aliens' presence. Strangers Settled Here Amongst Us focuses on the link between the aliens, native English and the central government. It explores policies and attitudes, bringing new perspectives to familiar documents as well as introducing documents rarely seen in the subject's scholarship.
Download or read book The Reign of Elizabeth 1558 1603 written by Prof. J. B. Black and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1936, this is a classic account of the reign of Elizabeth Tudor during the Sixteenth Century. The book provides a comprehensive account of the political, economic, social, literary, artistic, scientific, and cultural features that made it one of the richest periods in British history. It ranges from the Religious Settlement, England's relations with France, and the succession to Catholic and Puritan challenges to the establishment, the execution of Mary Stuart, the Armada, the Irish problem, and the later years of Elizabeth’s reign. “Professor Black brought to his task the knowledge and experience of a scholar who is a specialist in the period, the balance and wisdom of a philosophical mind, and the skill of a distinguished stylist. Need one be surprised that his book is not merely a first-rate text-book but a work which any serious-minded person will read with abounding pleasure.”—Sunday Times “This volume is one of those books which are so packed with information that its value can only be discovered in use. For those about to make a serious study of a difficult and complex period of English history it should be a most useful introduction, for Professor Black has the rare virtue of being impartial, even on the most controversial topics....The best advanced text-book of the Elizabethan period that has yet been written.”—Listener “Professor Black’s book is a solid achievement of sound and accurate scholarship, whose clearness of thought and balance in judgement make it a pleasure to read.”—Oxford Magazine “A most moderate, well-balanced, and ably written work, which should form a useful corrective to the many biased and unscholarly publications associated with the period it covers.”—Glasgow Herald
