Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following study by a very able Anglo-American historian and antiquary upon the early generations of the ancient Westmorland house of Strickland of Sizergh is of more than passing interest to both American and English readers. The Stricklands are one of the comparatively few English families still flourishing in their ancestral home which possess a proved pedigree reaching back into the twelfth century. Their present seat, Sizergh Castle, came into their possession in the thirteenth century by the marriage of the heiress of d'Eyncourt of Sizergh with a Strickland, and their muniment room contains charters and other family documents dating from the twelfth century. Such families are rare in the England of the twentieth century. To Americans the story of their origin has an absorbing interest. Not only were the Virginia Washingtons, the ancestors of the great George, directly descended from the earlier members of the house, but Edward Carleton, the early settler of Rowley, Mass., as has been shown by Professor Hazen, was a great-grandson of Walter Strickland of Sizergh (died in 1569), the head of the house in the middle of the sixteenth century. -- Foreword.

Download or read book Women Writers and the Nation s Past 1790 1860 written by Mary Spongberg and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-27 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1790 saw the publication of Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France -- the definitive tract of modern conservatism as a political philosophy. Though women of the period wrote texts that clearly responded to and reacted against Burke's conception of English history and to the contemporary political events that continued to shape it, this conversation was largely ignored or dismissed, and much of it remains to be reconsidered today. Examining the works of women writers from Jane Austen and Mary Wollstonecraft to the Strickland sisters and Mary Anne Everett Green, this book begins to recuperate that conversation and in doing so uncovers a more complete and nuanced picture of women's participation in the writing of history. Professor Mary Spongberg puts forward an alternate, feminized historiography of Britain that demonstrates how women writers' recourse to history caused them to become generically innovative and allowed them to participate in the political debates that framed the emergence of modern British historiography, and to push back against the Whig interpretation of history that predominated from 1790-1860.
