Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bosredon de Ransijat spent more than 30 years living among the Maltese, first as a Knight of the Order and later as President of the Government Commission during the French occupation. In his latter role he was blockaded with the French garrison within the city walls of Valletta. In his diary he describes just how determined they were to keep Malta in French hands and the hardships they endured during this two-year standoff with the Maltese country folk and the English Navy. Ransijat also gives his own in-depth analysis as to why the Maltese were glad to see the end the Order's rule and also why they turned so quickly against their new French rulers.In determining the causes of the Maltese uprising, Ransijat analyses the relationship between the Maltese and the knights and goes back to the days when the Order first arrived in Malta. Interestingly enough he also analyses the role played by the English who ran the naval blockade, and that of the Maltese who blockaded from land. Who played the decisive role between the two is still debated to this very day within Maltese circles. Ransijat's diary reveals a number of disturbing facts about the blockade not only about the deep suffering it caused but also about the divisions that existed between the Maltese village folk and the rest of the population. While it is important to commemorate the bravery shown by the Maltese one cannot ignore the tragic reality that a number of Maltese who sympathized with the French were taken to the island of Comino and executed by their fellow countrymen. Ransijat's memoirs are undoubtedly among the most important historic documents concerning the French occupation of Malta, for one very simple reason: he was there.Could the French have kept possession of Malta? Could the English have ousted the French garrison without the help of the Maltese? Conversely, could the Maltese have succeeded without the English? Many questions and many opinions depending on who you ask. With over ten thousand lives lost due to hunger and malnutrition the Maltese paid a heavy price to hand over the island to yet another foreign power. Ten thousand Maltese lives that regrettably have never been commemorated to this very day like they were some form of minor collateral damage. It is also clear that the French perspective of Maltese history has been blatantly overlooked for over two centuries giving rise to many biased perceptions that have been perpetuated across generations. This book is not only about the French occupation, it is also about Maltese society in the late 18th century and above all it is the story of an extraordinary man who was bold enough to defend his deepest personal convictions.

Download or read book Coleridge s Laws written by Barry Hough and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Taylor Coleridge is best known as a great poet and literary theorist, but for one, quite short, period of his life he held real political power - acting as Public Secretary to the British Civil Commissioner in Malta in 1805. This was a formative experience for Coleridge which he later identified as being one of the most instructive in his entire life. In this volume Barry Hough and Howard Davis show how Coleridge's actions whilst in a position of power differ markedly from the idealism he had advocated before taking office - shedding new light on Coleridge's sense of political and legal morality.
Download or read book By Order of Napoleon written by Joe Scicluna and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-11 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a chronological compilation of Bonaparte's orders issued during and after the invasion of Malta in 1798. He gave orders to capture Gozo, Mdina, St. Paul and of course the city of Valletta. Napoleon's orders were very specific in terms of how the French were to treat the Knights, the Maltese, and the clergy. They included radical health and education reforms intended to align Malta's administration to the new revolutionary ideology of the French republic. He abolished nobility and slavery. He reorganized the clergy and redefined its sphere of influence. He also ordered the removal of the Order's silver and other precious items from St. John's Cathedral in Valletta. The goal is not to judge, praise or criticize the French occupation of Malta, but to give the reader access to source documents and hopefully give some perspective to those momentous events that radically changed the course of Malta's history.

Book excerpt: This book describes how the island of Malta became a protectorate of the British Crown during the wars against Napoleon after the failures of the Knights of Saint John, republican France, the Two Sicilies, and finally imperial Russia to fill the role of its best defender.

Download or read book British Malta 1798 1835 written by Andrew T. Zwilling and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British Malta, 1798–1835 explores the incorporation and early administration of Malta as a British protectorate, and later as a Crown colony. Few connections existed between Great Britain and Malta before 1798, but Napoleon’s Mediterranean ambitions forged a link that remained even after the expulsion of the French. Malta’s incorporation into the British Empire encountered numerous and varied challenges: a deadly plague, diplomatic rows, economic rebuilding, continual food supply obstacles, and the unique challenge of governing a long-subjugated population. The Maltese people spent the previous 228 years ruled by an anachronistic crusading order that they were barred from joining. While most sought the protection of the British government, many also strove for more Maltese autonomy and agency. This tension helped define the first three and a half decades of British rule in Malta. Reaching beyond the traditional periodization of the Napoleonic era, this book provides a broader context of the fitful growth of the British Empire. Scholars and general readers drawn to the history of Malta, the British Mediterranean, and the expansion of the British Empire will find value in this narrative history.
