Book excerpt: The characteristics of the English Gentleman went unremarked in their homeland. It was only when they ventured to foreign parts that their characteristics became caricatures in the eyes of amazed natives. Douglas Sutherland, whose chronicles of what must surely be a dying species have attracted world-wide attention, he has travelled widely abroad armed with a Collectors Kit for the purpose of researching this book. With the unerring nose of the connoisseur he has sniffed out the Gentlemen in his tradition watering holes and, by and large, has found him alive and well. In giving us the result of his researches he has recognised that with the invention of such new-fangled devices as the flying machine some change is inevitable.

Download or read book The English Way of Life written by Henry Cassell Ruschmeyer and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ethic of a people determines how they act in life situations, requiring right and wrong behavior. It can be seen in their daily activities, by the words they say-whether spoken or written-and by the things they do, both publicly and privately. The English are no exception to this means of understanding why a people act the way they do, whether at home or abroad, in their own company or in the company of strangers. A now-retired Bishop of London was heard to say, rather ironically and exasperatingly, during a meeting of area clergy of the Westminster (St. Margaret) Deanery, and in response to a query by a young priest from a British Commonwealth country living in England for the past several years, "Haven't you realized by now that this is England where nothing is clear." This response speaks to the many uncomfortable situations in which Englishmen find themselves to which there are no apparent answers. Mercifully, the English fog can descend upon these awkward moments, providing a temporary way out from the nagging truth. Herein an attempt is made to penetrate fog and all, trying to lay bare the mysteries of the English way of life by an American outsider who once lived and worked amongst the English people for seven years. An inside look into the English legal, political, social, educational, commercial, athletic, international, and religious institutions is explored by one who served as a clergyman in a central London parish and, simultaneously, as a teacher of religious studies at a private, Church of England - affiliated, secondary school in south London.

Book excerpt: When he’s mistaken for her husband-to-be, is that prophetic? Miss Lucinda Calvert’s quiet life as a rector’s daughter is turned topsy-turvy by the arrival of a gentleman new to the area. Mr John Harris seems respectable, but sets the village gossips wagging with speculation about his past—on which topic he is very private indeed. He pays her particular attention, and his mysterious papers and odd habits confuse her almost as much as his unexpected kiss! Then speculation of a French spy in their midst, taking advantage of the nearby military encampment, sets Lucinda worrying. Could the man she has grown so fond of—perhaps even loves—be a traitor? Full of charming Regency village life with amusing characters—human and animal alike—Dinah Dean’s sweet and clean romance is perfect for fans of richly detailed historical romance like those by Georgette Heyer and Mimi Matthews.

Download or read book Walter Ralegh written by Alan Gallay and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a Bancroft Prize-winning historian, a biography of the famed poet, courtier, and colonizer, showing how he laid the foundations of the English Empire Sir Walter Ralegh was a favorite of Queen Elizabeth. She showered him with estates and political appointments. He envisioned her becoming empress of a universal empire. She gave him the opportunity to lead the way. In Walter Ralegh,Alan Gallay shows that, while Ralegh may be best known for founding the failed Roanoke colony, his historical importance vastly exceeds that enterprise. Inspired by the mystical religious philosophy of hermeticism, Ralegh led English attempts to colonize in North America, South America, and Ireland. He believed that the answer to English fears of national decline resided overseas -- and that colonialism could be achieved without conquest. Gallay reveals how Ralegh launched the English Empire and an era of colonization that shaped Western history for centuries after his death.

Download or read book Microtravel written by Charles Forsdick and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic imposed immobility on large sectors of the world’s population, with confinement becoming an everyday reality. The lives of those who previously enjoyed the privileges of being ‘fast castes’ ground to a halt, while at the same time the displacement of more vulnerable populations along well-established migration corridors has been radically reduced. The result has been a recalibration of the scale of journeying, with travellers slowing down their journeys and readjusting their relationship to the proximate and nearby. This situation has provided an opportunity for those who study travel and travel writing to rethink their objects of study and approaches to them. This volume explores and historicizes the phenomenon of ‘microtravel’, designating slower journeys within a limited radius which allow, and sometimes necessitate, new forms of experiencing the world.
