Download or read book Chronicles From The Hall written by Christine Mackinnon and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHRONICLES FROM THE HALL is a coming of age story set in a Catholic boarding school run by the Sisters of Mercy called McAuley Hall. The Hall is set in the heart of the Roman Catholic Precinct of st.John's, Newfoundland and takes place during the fast changing late 1960's. The author was sent there by a cruel and unfeeling stepfather and a weak, unloving mother after the death of her father. The story will take you through the most important years of a young girl's life. The writer makes you a voyeur, titillated, if you will, by a glimpse inside this often forbidden world. The author leaves behind her better judgement and writes brutally and honestly about her experiences during that time. She speaks of her own raw emotions, failures, and lack of judgement as she tries to navigate life through this hostile environment. The story is laced with both humour and pathos. It conveys both the power and scope of the Roman Catholic Church during those years. The nuns had a mandate to ptotect and educate the children in their care, but often failed miserably. The story also conveys the emotions of a young teenager, cast adrift, in this strange new world and the circumstances that brought her there.

Download or read book Reading Holinshed s Chronicles written by Annabel Patterson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1994-10-15 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading Holinshed's Chronicles is the first major study of the greatest of the Elizabethan chronicles. Holinshed's Chronicles—a massive history of England, Scotland, and Ireland—has been traditionally read as the source material for many of Shakespeare's plays or as an archaic form of history-writing. Annabel Patterson insists that the Chronicles be read in their own right as an important and inventive cultural history. Although we know it by the name of Raphael Holinshed, editor and major compiler of the 1577 edition, the Chronicles was the work of a group, a collaboration between antiquarians, clergymen, members of parliament, poets, publishers, and booksellers. Through a detailed reading, Patterson argues that the Chronicles convey rich insights into the way the Elizabethan middle class understood their society. Responding to the crisis of disunity which resulted from the Reformation, the authors of the Chronicles embodied and encouraged an ideal of justice, what we would now call liberalism, that extended beyond the writing of history into the realms of politics, law, economics, citizenship, class, and gender. Also, since the second edition of 1587 was called in by the Privy Council and revised under supervision, the work constitutes an important test case for the history of early modern censorship. An essential book for all students of Tudor history and literature, Reading Holinshed's Chronicles brings into full view a long misunderstood masterpiece of sixteenth-century English culture.
