Book The Life Correspondence Collections of Thomas Howard  Earl of Arundel

Download or read book The Life Correspondence Collections of Thomas Howard Earl of Arundel written by Mary F. S. Hervey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life Correspondence Collections of Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel: "Father of Vertu in England" In addition to private sources, the unpublished papers, English and Foreign, of the Public Record Office, the mss. Of the British Museum, the College of Heralds, the Bodleian Library, and many other collections have been freely utilized so far as they appeared likely to serve the present purpose. Much new light has thus, it is hoped, been thrown upon the life of Thomas, Earl of Arundel; though, in the immense wealth of documentary resources, research cannot pretend to be exhaustive. These copious fountains of information dry up, or become poor and meagre, after the final departure of Lord and Lady Arundel from England in 1642. Dutch Archives, which I have caused to be examined, have yielded little or no result. Yet even so, through Evelyn's Diary and other channels, an occasional light, full of interest, is flashed through the shadows of these declining years. In this sense, no contribution to our knowledge is of greater value than the inventory drawn up at Amsterdam in 1655 of the Arundel pictures, which was discovered some years ago by Miss Mary Cox, at the Record Office, and published, with an introduction by Dr Lionel Cust, in the Burlington Magazine for August and Sep tember, 1911. The usefulness to students of this interesting find was, however, much impaired by the total absence of method in its arrangement. It had apparently been hurriedly copied, probably for purposes of litigation, from an inventory in Italian, or from several such inventories rolled into one, by some person imperfectly acquainted with the language. The artists' names are often placed not opposite their works; in many cases they are wanting altogether. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book The Language of Daily Life in England  1400 1800

Download or read book The Language of Daily Life in England 1400 1800 written by Arja Nurmi and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Language of Daily Life in England (1400–1800) is an important state-of-the art account of historical sociolinguistic and socio-pragmatic research. The volume contains nine studies and an introductory essay which discuss linguistic and social variation and change over four centuries. Each study tackles a linguistic or social phenomenon, and approaches it with a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, always embedded in the socio-historical context. The volume presents new information on linguistic variation and change, while evaluating and developing the relevant theoretical and methodological tools. The writers form one of the leading research teams in the field, and, as compilers of the Corpus of Early English Correspondence, have an informed understanding of the data in all its depth. This volume will be of interest to scholars in historical linguistics, sociolinguistics and socio-pragmatics, but also e.g. social history. The approachable style of writing makes it also inviting for advanced students.

Book Women in exile in early modern Europe and the Americas

Download or read book Women in exile in early modern Europe and the Americas written by Linda Levy Peck and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exile, its pain and possibility, is the starting point of this book. Women’s experience of exile was often different from that of men, yet it has not received the important attention it deserves. Women in exile in early modern Europe and the Americas addresses that lacuna through a wide-ranging geographical, chronological, social and cultural approach. Whether powerful, well-to-do or impoverished, exiled by force or choice, every woman faced the question of how to reconstruct her life in a new place. These essays focus on women’s agency despite the pressures created by political, economic and social dislocation. Collectively, they demonstrate how these women from different countries, continents and status groups not only survived but also in many cases thrived. This analysis of early modern women’s experiences not only provides a new vantage point from which to enrich the study of exile but also contributes important new scholarship to the history of women.

Book The Web of Empire

    Book Details:
  • Author : Alison Games
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2008-07-15
  • ISBN : 0199887349
  • Pages : 400 pages

Download or read book The Web of Empire written by Alison Games and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-07-15 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did England go from a position of inferiority to the powerful Spanish empire to achieve global pre-eminence? In this important second book, Alison Games, a colonial American historian, explores the period from 1560 to 1660, when England challenged dominion over the American continents, established new long-distance trade routes in the eastern Mediterranean and the East Indies, and emerged in the 17th century as an empire to reckon with. Games discusses such topics as the men and women who built the colonial enterprise, the political and fiscal factors that made such growth possible, and domestic politics that fueled commercial expansion. Her cast of characters includes soldiers and diplomats, merchants and mariners, ministers and colonists, governors and tourists, revealing the surprising breath of foreign experiences ordinary English people had in this period. This book is also unusual in stretching outside Europe to include Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. A comparative imperial study and expansive world history, this book makes a lasting argument about the formative years of the English empire.

Book Deeds Done Beyond the Sea

Download or read book Deeds Done Beyond the Sea written by Susan B. Edgington and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume celebrates Peter Edbury’s career by bringing together seventeen essays by colleagues, former students and friends which focus on three of his major research interests: the great historian of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, William of Tyre, and his Historia rerum in partibus transmarinis gestarum and its continuations; medieval Cyprus, in particular under the Lusignans; and the Military Orders in the Middle Ages. All based on original research, the contributions to this volume include new work on manuscripts, ranging from a Hospitaller rental document of the twelfth century to a seventeenth-century manuscript of Cypriot interest; studies of language and terminology in William of Tyre’s chronicle and its continuations; thematic surveys; legal and commercial investigations pertaining to Cyprus; aspects of memorialization, and biographical studies. These contributions are bracketed by a foreword written by Peter Edbury’s PhD supervisor, Jonathan Riley-Smith, and an appreciation of Peter’s own publications by Christopher Tyerman.
