Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Old-Fashioned Journey Through England and Wales Some years ago a friend persuaded me to join him on a driving tour through the southern counties. It was my first experience of such a delightful mode of travel, and I determined it should not be my last. Before that never-to - be-forgotten journey, I thought I knew England and English scenery well, but that drive was to me a revelation. Since then fortune has been propitious; time and opportunity have permitted me to enjoy my summer holiday by taking driving excursions of some hundreds of miles every year, being away some two or three months each time. This volume is compiled from brief notes taken during one of those pleasant journeys. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

We should have liked very much to have prolonged our stay at Dolgelly; we left the quaint old town without having explored a tithe of its beauties, and we left it with great regret, taking away with us many pleasant recollections of the place and its romantic surroundings. But we had much in Wales to see yet, and a good deal of England on our return journey home. So the next morning being fine, with a clear sky and a glorious sunshine overhead, we determined to make a start, as we felt, in spite of the attractions of Dolgelly, we could not afford to let such a grand day pass by without making another stage. Our destination for the night was the renowned valley of Festiniog, a vale far famed for the entrancing beauty of its scenery, and of which Lord Lyttelton says, 'With the woman one loves, with the friend of one's heart, and with a good study of books, one might pass an age in this vale and think it a day.' Other writers, not a few, have lavished their encomiums on this spot; we were therefore doubly anxious to reach it in favourable weather, that we might have time and a proper opportunity of seeing the same, and exploring some, at least, of its lovely nooks. A few miles on our way, at Llanelltyd bridge, we pulled up the horses...

This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Little Journey to England and Wales We have seen many of the wonders of London, its busy, crowded streets and something of the work that is being carried on in both London and Liverpool. But we have seen little of the home life of the English people. For this we will go to the country. When the London season is over, everyone who can afford to do so leaves town. Some go to their country homes, others to Brighton, or the Isle of Wight, or to some seaside or country resort, for a rest or change. Let us go, too. There is so much yet to be seen that we are tempted to linger awhile longer in this fascinating old London Town. There are so many excursions we might make into the suburbs, if time would but permit. There is the great Crystal Palace, where everyone goes who wishes to study the products and industries of the world. It is a huge building of glass and iron stand ing in the midst of forests and parks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Holinshed s Chronicles written by Paulina Kewes and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-12-27 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland (1577, 1587), issued under the name of Raphael Holinshed, was the crowning achievement of Tudor historiography, and became the principal source for the historical writings of Spenser, Daniel and, above all, Shakespeare. While scholars have long been drawn to Holinshed for its qualities as a source, they typically dismissed it as a baggy collection of materials, lacking coherent form and analytical insight. This condescending verdict has only recently given way to an appreciation of the literary and historical qualities of these chronicles. The Handbook is a major interdisciplinary undertaking which gives the lie to Holinshed's detractors, and provides original interpretations of a book that has lacked sustained academic scrutiny. Bringing together leading specialists in a variety of fields - literature, history, religion, classics, bibliography, and the history of the book - the Handbook demonstrates that the Chronicles powerfully reflect the nature of Tudor thinking about the past, about politics and society, and about the literary and rhetorical means by which readers might be persuaded of the truth of narrative. The volume shows how distinctive it was for one book to chronicle the history of three nations of the British archipelago. The various sections of the Handbook analyse the making of the two editions of the Chronicles; the relationship of the work to medieval and early modern historiography; its formal properties, genres and audience; attitudes to politics, religion, and society; literary appropriations; and the parallel descriptions and histories of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. The result is a seminal study that shows unequivocally the vitality and complexity of the chronicle form in the late sixteenth century.
