Download or read book Blue Water Empire written by Robert Holland and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2012-01-26 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blue-Water Empire is Robert Holland's magnificent narrative of Britain's military and cultural ties with the Mediterranean Sea, in the style of the epic naval histories of N. A. M. Rodger. Britain has been a major presence in the Mediterranean from the Battle of the Nile to the end of empire, as both a military and a colonising force on the islands and coastlines of the sea. Robert Holland traces the fascinating story of that presence, from its legacies in culture, language and law to the Mediterranean's own influence on Britain. Evoking the conflicts and contrasts between British and local societies caught up in dramatic events, as well as their mutual resilience under pressure, Blue Water Empire charts with vigour, flair and clarity the British experience in the Mediterranean in the age of empire. Reviews: 'An important corrective to current historical amnesia ... the definitive account of Anglo-Mediterranean history for years to come' Amanda Foreman, New Statesman 'A rich and readable account of the British in the Middle Sea ... As Holland's learned, lucid and enjoyable work makes clear, many British politicians saw the Mediterranean as the pre-eminent global strategic arena, representing the key to victory in Europe and Asia' Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times 'This is an important subject, and it has never before been drawn together into a single coherent narrative ... Blue-Water Empire puts the land, not the sea, at the heart of the story' Literary Review 'Robert Holland's masterly history of the Mediterranean is a pleasure to read. Blue-Water Empire shows how Britain's mastery of the Middle Sea shaped the modern world, whilst reminding us how profoundly the Mediterranean has influenced the British' Simon Ball (author of The Bitter Sea: The Struggle for Mastery in the Mediterranean, 1935-1949) 'Lively and absorbing' Philip Mansel, Spectator About the author: Robert Holland is one of the world's leading historians of the Mediterranean and the author of Britain and the Revolt in Cyprus, 1954-59, and (with Diana Markides) The British and the Hellenes: Struggles for Mastery in the Eastern Mediterranean, 1850-1960. He holds professorial positions at the Centre for Hellenic Studies in King's College London and the Institute of Commonwealth Studies in the same University.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England in the Mediterranean, Vol. 1 of 2: A Study of the Rise and Influence of British Power Within the Straits, 1603-1713 The attempt to show how largely the position of England in Europe depended on the possibilities of fleet action in the Mediterranean necessarily involves the carrying along of an enormous weight Of military and diplomatic history - history, moreover, that for the most part is only to be found in its relation to naval pressure in the correspondence of generals, ministers, and diplomatists. The majority of historians have ever ignored the naval influence except where now and then their attention is aroused by the thunder of a great battle. But, more often than not, the important fact is that no battle took place, and again and again the effort to prevent a collision is the controlling feature of widespread political action.

Download or read book The Warm South written by Robert Holland and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An evocative exploration of the impact of the Mediterranean on British culture, ranging from the mid-eighteenth century to today Ever since the age of the Grand Tour in the eighteenth century, the Mediterranean has had a significant pull for Britons—including many painters and poets—who sought from it the inspiration, beauty, and fulfillment that evaded them at home. Referred to as “Magick Land” by one traveler, dreams about the Mediterranean, and responses to it, went on to shape the culture of a nation. Written by one of the world’s leading historians of the Mediterranean, this book charts how a new sensibility arose from British engagement with the Mediterranean, ancient and modern. Ranging from Byron’s poetry to Damien Hirst’s installations, Robert Holland shows that while idealized visions and aspirations often met with disillusionment and frustration, the Mediterranean also offered a notably insular society the chance to enrich itself through an imagined world of color, carnival, and sensual self-discovery.
Download or read book England and France in the Mediterranean 1660 1830 written by Walter Frewen Lord and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England and France in the Mediterranean 1660-1830 In all probability England would have played but a small part in the Eastern Question, as it is understood to-day, if it had not been for Napoleon Bonaparte. It is not to be expected that Continental students of the history of England will accept any such conclusion. Seeing Gibraltar (which is, geographically speaking, Spanish ground) in English hands, they cannot but conclude that the "key of the Mediterranean" was grasped with some intention of inaugurating a policy which appears to have developed so continuously and so portentously in the course of the last two hundred years. But the listless attitude implied by Lord Tyrawley's remark to Henry Fox (August 26, 1756) - "I do not see that we do ourselves much good, or anybody else any hurt, by our being in possession of it" - thoroughly characteristic as it is of all the dealings of England with the Rock of Gibraltar, does not appear to bear out this view. The six attempts to shake off the incubus render such a view untenable. It is the same with Malta. Seeing England in possession of a fortress which is (geographically speaking) Italian ground, it is impossible to avoid ascribing the anomaly to ruthless acquisitiveness on the part of England.
