Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Four Scottish Coronations The august solemnity which, by God's good hand upon us, will be fulfilled on Thursday the 26th of June this year in the Abbey Church of Westminster - the Coronation of His Most Sacred Majesty King Edward VII., King by the Grace of God "of all the Britains" and of our Gracious Queen Alexandra - is of a nature that requires, both on the Sovereign's part and on his subjects, ' a serious and heedful preparation. Were it indeed no more than a court pageant, it would need to be prepared for. No ceremony of any kind can be well performed, which has not been duly arranged beforehand. And a Royal Coronation is a ceremony as complicated as it is rich and splendid. The vast and honourable assemblage must be duly marshalled: his proper place must be assigned to every one. The Thrones must be set, the pavements strewn with carpets, the Altar decked; the Regalia must be brought to the Abbey from the Tower; the oil for the Anointing and the Royal Oblations must be prepared; the words of the old Service must be adjusted to the new occasion; the music will have to be practised, the great officers of Church and State, and the King and Queen themselves, must be informed as to their several parts. Already, for months, a court has been sitting to adjudicate on the claims of those who allege a title to take part in the proceedings; and from Easter till well on in June the Abbey will be in the hands of workmen charged with the task of fitting it up for the great solemnity. But the Coronation is no mere pageant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Scottish People From the Earliest Times, Vol. 4 In the meantime the power of the queen's party was gradually declining. The return and restoration of their mistress, which they had so long entertained and which had been so often equivocally promised, was now more faint than ever; and against the heart of the nation, which was confirmed in opposition to their cause, the lords of the Marian faction, even with the chief fortresses of the kingdom in their possession, could only maintain an unequal con ict. The assistance from abroad, also, on which they had calculated, when it arrived was found so trivial, consisting chie y of small sums of money and supplies of arms, that far from being enough to restore a banished queen to her throne, it was scarcely adequate to the purposes of a mere popular insurrection. And soon also their chief Opportunity of receiving such supplies was to be wrested from them. We allude to the cap ture of the castle of Dumbarton by the king's party - one of the boldest, ablest, and most suc cessful exploits of this unhappy civil war.

Download or read book Rain Dodging written by Susan J. Godwin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholar Susan Godwin is hooked when she comes across the captivating story of Mary of Modena—a seventeenth-century Italian princess who was only fourteen when coerced into marriage with the future king of England, James II, yet went on to cultivate a court full of women writers in an age when female authorship was rare. How did Mary achieve such a feat? Rain Dodging is Susan’s creative nonfiction account of the years-long search upon which this question—and her own unquenchable curiosity—launched her. Godwin travels through both space and time, solo adventuring through Britain in pursuit of truth and, in a spicy parallel arc, chronicling her own cluttered but resilient feminist path. From schizophrenic lovers to out-there musicians to one unhinged mother, Susan tells the story of her personal enlightenment even as she visits the palaces and manor houses in England and Scotland Mary once inhabited and pores over materials in Oxford’s stunning 400-year-old Bodleian Library, finding moments of transcendence and unexpected delight along the way. Join Susan in this irreverent and illuminating journey—a fascinating account of the late Stuart monarchy, the progression of feminist history, and the unexpected connection between the two.
Download or read book Epistolary Community in Print 1580 1664 written by Diana G. Barnes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epistolary Community in Print contends that the printed letter is an inherently sociable genre ideally suited to the theorisation of community in early modern England. In manual, prose or poetic form, printed letter collections make private matters public, and in so doing reveal, first how tenuous is the divide between these two realms in the early modern period and, second, how each collection helps to constitute particular communities of readers. Consequently, as Epistolary Community details, epistolary visions of community were gendered. This book provides a genealogy of epistolary discourse beginning with an introductory discussion of Gabriel Harvey and Edmund Spenser’s Wise and Wittie Letters (1580), and opening into chapters on six printed letter collections generated at times of political change. Among the authors whose letters are examined are Angel Day, Michael Drayton, Jacques du Bosque and Margaret Cavendish. Epistolary Community identifies broad patterns that were taking shape, and constantly morphing, in English printed letters from 1580 to 1664, and then considers how the six examples of printed letters selected for discussion manipulate this generic tradition to articulate ideas of community under specific historical and political circumstances. This study makes a substantial contribution to the rapidly growing field of early modern letters, and demonstrates how the field impacts our understanding of political discourses in circulation between 1580 and 1664, early modern women’s writing, print culture and rhetoric.
Download or read book Anglo Saxon England Volume 30 written by Michael Lapidge and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-07-12 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pre-eminence of Anglo-Saxon England in its field can be seen as a result of its encouragement of interdisciplinary approaches to the study of all aspects of Anglo-Saxon culture. Thus this volume includes an important assessment of the correspondence of St Boniface, in which it is shown that the unusually formulaic nature of Boniface's letters is best understood as a reflex of the saint's familiarity with vernacular composition. A wide-ranging historical contextualization of The Letter of Alexander to Aristotle illuminates the way English readers of the later tenth century may have defined themselves in contradistinction to the monstrous unknown, and a fresh reading of the gendering of female portraiture in a famous illustrated manuscript of the Psychomachia of Prudentius (CCCC 23) shows the independent ways in which Anglo-Saxon illustrators were able to respond to their models. The usual comprehensive bibliography of the previous year's publications rounds off the book; and a full index of the contents of volumes 26-30 is provided. (Previous indexes have appeared in volumes 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25.)
