Book excerpt: The Familiar Enemy re-examines the linguistic, literary, and cultural identities of England and France within the context of the Hundred Years War. During this war, two profoundly intertwined peoples developed complex strategies for expressing their aggressively intimate relationship. This special connection between the English and the French has endured into the modern period as a model for Western nationhood. Ardis Butterfield reassesses the concept of 'nation' in this period through a wide-ranging discussion of writing produced in war, truce, or exile from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century, concluding with reflections on the retrospective views of this conflict created by the trials of Jeanne d'Arc and by Shakespeare's Henry V. She considers authors writing in French, 'Anglo-Norman', English, and the comic tradition of Anglo-French 'jargon', including Machaut, Deschamps, Froissart, Chaucer, Gower, Charles d'Orléans, as well as many lesser-known or anonymous works. Traditionally Chaucer has been seen as a quintessentially English author. This book argues that he needs to be resituated within the deeply francophone context, not only of England but the wider multilingual cultural geography of medieval Europe. It thus suggests that a modern understanding of what 'English' might have meant in the fourteenth century cannot be separated from 'French', and that this has far-reaching implications both for our understanding of English and the English, and of French and the French.

This book was released on 2017-01-25 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diplomatic Relations, of England With the Quadruple Alliance 1815-1830 With the overthrow of Napoleon the victors of France were confronted with the task of reconstructing the map of Europe and of restoring peace and order. For this purpose the Congress of Vienna was assembled, and a year later the Quadruple Alliance was formed, destined to become the most powerful concert of powers ever maintained in time of peace. A discussion of the origin, character, purposes, and justification of such a union arouses numerous questions that demand consideration and solution. Was this dominating alliance, this strong concert of England, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, in the period from 1815 to 1830, necessary to the reconstruction of Europe following the Napoleonic regime? Was it an acknowledgment of the failure of the Congress of Vienna to establish order and the regard of one nation for another's rights? Was this Alliance, then, a logical outgrowth of the Vienna conferences, or was its need foreseen in the dreary days of desolation, and its form gradually evolved? Was it a great machine of repression or instrument of war projected into time of peace? Did England see in such an alliance a noble means of guiding aright an erring nation? Was she actuated by selfish motives in casting aside the policy of Pitt, the policy of non-interference, or was she forced to a realization that what concerned Europe was of consequence to England, that she could no longer be a self-sufficing national unit? For forty years following the Second Treaty of Paris, the peace of Europe was steadfastly maintained without a single encounter between any of the powers. Is this a justification for the reactionary character of the alliance? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Anglo French Relations since the Late Eighteenth Century written by Glyn Stone and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work, intended to commemorate the centenary of the Entente Cordiale in 2004, examines aspects of Anglo-French relations since the late eighteenth century when both Britain and France were pre-eminent great powers at war with one another through to the post-Second World War period when both had become rival second class powers in the face of American and Soviet dominance. The chapters in this book examine and illuminate the nature of the Anglo-French relationship at certain periods during the last two hundred years, both in peacetime and in war and include political, economic, diplomatic, military and strategic considerations and influences. While the impact of Anglo-French relations is centred essentially on the European context, other areas are also considered including the Middle East, Africa and the North Atlantic. The elements of conflict, rivalry and cooperation in Anglo-French relations are also highlighted whether in peace or war. This book was previously published as a special issue of Diplomacy and Statecraft.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two national identities had established themselves by the end of the 11th century in, respectively, the north and south of Britain. The larger southern nation made several attempts on the independence of the smaller and more dynastically-troubled northern state but, after the time of Edward I of England, Scotland held its own. Then in 1603, with the accession of James VI of Scotland to the English throne, an incorporating union seemed to be in prospect, but more than a century passed before a lasting parliamentary union was achieved amid a flurry of intrigue, corruption and power-broking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study brings together the expertise of an international group of scholars to survey the development of political and economic relations between Britain and the Netherlands from the Napoleonic era to the present day. It illuminates both the underlying refrain of harmony in international outlook, ideology and interests that often made for close co-operation between the two countries, and also their episodic instances of conflict. The contributors address topics ranging from Anglo-Dutch relations in the era of imperialism; the tensions created by Dutch neutrality in the First World; the challenges of the inter-war years; the role of the Dutch in British strategy during the Second World War; colonialism and decolonisation; and, most recently, bilateral relations in the European framework. Based on detailed research in British and Dutch archives, Unspoken Allies provides new insights into relations between two of the principal "amphibious" powers of Europe across the last two centuries.

This book looks at the commercial relations between England and Portugal during the mediaeval period, including merchant trading. Due to the relations between Prince Henry the Navigator, and Vasco da Gama, the Anglo - Portuguese alliance, of which the origins can be traced back to the time of the crusades, and which lasted practically during the whole mediaeval period, is almost unique in the history of the Middle Ages for the care with which it was maintained, for its popularity in both countries, and for its beneficial results to both parties.
