Excerpt: ... niac, half in adoration, and half in weakness, sunk before her, she fell on her neck, and wept even to agony. Ines gazed on her wildly. "I know you," she said, "I knovr you: but I cannot tell your name. I have forgot every thing but misfortune. --You were unhappy too. I remember your stately love: --they said he was a prince: --on earth there was none like him but my own; but mine was fairer, fresher, softer. I wooed a flower, and died of its fragrance: you clung to an, oak; but the lightning struck it, and it crushed you in its fall. We were ..both ill-fated; but we will go to some world where no false lover shall come, and be happy, when I have found my babe." Armida, deluged with tears, had no power to answer. "How glorious you are," cried Ines, still gazing on her; "and yet you weep with all those gems sparkling round you. Once I saw you on the shore, while I was wandering alone: your lover was there with all his train: a sad and shadowy band, that gathered round their chief like a storm; yet you followed him through mist and darkness: --did you not follow him?" "I did, I did," cried Armida. . "Yes;" I saw you rise into the air: you sought some isle of light in the western sky, where you were to reign together. I saw you ascend in pomp: I heard the blast of unearthly music: I saw your parting smile of light. You went upward with trump, and harp, and horn: -- I wept to follow you; but darkness closed on me, and I was left alone.--Arroida!" she cried with supernatural energy, "if you find my babe in the world of brightness where you dwell, tell him his mother weeps for him still, and every night when the moon rises, her heart seems to burst from her bosom, and prostrate itself before the throne of God to ask for him." Armida staggering...

Though thy tackle's torn Thou show'st a noble vessel. Shakespeare. It was midnight before Armida was restored to perfect recollection. Broken, uneasy slumbers followed her swoons: at length she started up, and looked around her. The splendid furniture which Lord Montclare had ordered from England was not yet arrived., and the apartment she was in bore the aspect of preceding centuries: its dark spaciousness, its wainscotting of oak black as ebony, its coved ceiling, and huge windows with small dim panes, were scarcely seen by the lights that burned on a table of black marble beside her bed. Her foreign servants were sitting pale and aghast by an immense turf fire that burn cd on the hearth, for grates were unknown in this Irish castle. Armida inquired for her father: he had retired to rest, "And so have all the people in the castle," said the women, "except ourselves." "Has every one retired?" cried Armida, listening. "What noise is that I hear then, so deep, and so continued?" "It is the noise of the sea," said the women: "the tide is coming in, and the waves they say often dash against the walls of this melancholy old castle." Armida dismissed her attendants, who, wearied by their journey, gladly retired. She tried to compose herself to rest: it was impossible: her mind was agitated by the events of the day. She rose, and going to the huge casement, which re-> quired all her strength to open, threw herself on a seat beside it. All was still, dark, and vast. No sight of human habitation, no sound of human life--the sky, the rocks, the ocean, and the moon--nothing else above or below. Her mind was awed into a kind of passiveness that resembled repose; and though chilled by the night breeze, she continued to gaze on, till she...

Excerpt: ... shore, she clung to his knees; yet unable to hold them., she sunk on the ground at his feet. "Oh, God!" cried Connal, throwing to heaven his strained and blood-shot eyes, "let me but bear this like a man; let me not meet my foes bereft of all strength." "Oh! leave me not to die here," cried Armida, writhing at his feet in her ravings; "a single blow will end my misery, and yet you delay, and yet you leave me to die: your hands are strong, and yet you have not the mercy to end me." Connal, beside himself, knelt on the ground: he attempted to raise her, but at that moment the alarm-bell rung out, and the discharge of musketry burst on his ear like thunder. He started, and through the darkness of the night .he saw the flames bursting from the old tower, and spreading their burning volumes on the air. "It blazes, it blazes," he cried in agony: "be is perishing in the flames, and I stand here fondly talking to a woman." He tore himself from her, and she sunk on the earth. Rosine, undismayed by the danger and terror of the night, had gone out in quest of Armida. The mist that had gathered over the heath, and the roar of the sea as it lashed the rocks, concealed every object, and drowned every effort of her voice to make herself heard. Drenched by the rain, and breathless from struggling with the wind, she continued her dreary progress alone till the flames that issued from the burning tower, glaring widely on the dark heath, shewed something white stretched before her on the ground. She hastened forward: it was Annida, pale, motionless, and prostrate. Struck to the soul at beholding this woman once to celebrated, and still possessing every distinction of rank, genius, and beauty, in a situation so helpless and deplorable, Rosine, almost...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Milesian Chief, Maturin's third novel (1812), is the first of his novels to be set almost entirely in Ireland. After the 1800 Act of Union, the political and social turmoil caused by rebellion in the name of Irish independence disrupts the splendid fortunes of the talented and beautiful Armida, Italian-bred and English-born, who falls in love with Connal, last of an ancient Irish dynasty and leader of a desperate army of rebels. As she follows Connal's dire path, her exquisite if emotionally sterile life of art and music is transformed into an adventure in the wilds of western Ireland, the huts of the poor, bloody battlefields, rocky shores, and cavern hideouts, as English forces gradually draw closer to defeating the rebels. The sense of dread that overwhelms the characters and the entire countryside in their struggles against enemies, military as well as personal, is echoed in the passion of Armida and Connal, and enhanced by Maturin's vivid gothic touches.

Download or read book Exploring Cultural History written by Melissa Calaresu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 30 years, cultural history has moved from the periphery to the centre of historical studies, profoundly influencing the way we look at and analyze all aspects of the past. In this volume, a distinguished group of international historians has come together to consider the rise of cultural history in general, and to highlight the particular role played in this rise by Peter Burke, the first professor of Cultural History at the University of Cambridge and one of the most prolific and influential authors in the field. Reflecting the many and varied interests of Peter Burke, the essays in this volume cover a broad range of topics, geographies and chronologies. Grouped into four sections, 'Historical Anthropology', 'Politics and Communication', 'Images' and 'Cultural Encounters', the collection explores the boundaries and possibilities of cultural history; each essay presenting an opportunity to engage with the wider issues of the methods and problems of cultural history, and with Peter Burke's contributions to each chosen theme. Taken as a whole the collection shows how cultural history has enriched the ways in which we understand the traditional fields of political, economic, literary and military history, and permeates much of what we now understand as social history. It also demonstrates how cultural history is now at the heart of the coming together of traditional disciplines, providing a meeting ground for a variety of interests and methodologies. Offering a wide international perspective, this volume complements another Ashgate publication, Popular Culture in Early Modern England, which focuses on Peter Burke's influence on the study of popular culture in English history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nineteenth Century Collections Online: European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes the full-text of more than 9,500 English, French and German titles. The collection is sourced from the remarkable library of Victor Amadeus, whose Castle Corvey collection was one of the most spectacular discoveries of the late 1970s. The Corvey Collection comprises one of the most important collections of Romantic era writing in existence anywhere -- including fiction, short prose, dramatic works, poetry, and more -- with a focus on especially difficult-to-find works by lesser-known, historically neglected writers. The Corvey library was built during the last half of the 19th century by Victor and his wife Elise, both bibliophiles with varied interests. The collection thus contains everything from novels and short stories to belles lettres and more populist works, and includes many exceedingly rare works not available in any other collection from the period. These invaluable, sometimes previously unknown works are of particular interest to scholars and researchers. European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes: * Novels and Gothic Novels * Short Stories * Belles-Lettres * Short Prose Forms * Dramatic Works * Poetry * Anthologies * And more Selected with the guidance of an international team of expert advisors, these primary sources are invaluable for a wide range of academic disciplines and areas of study, providing never before possible research opportunities for one of the most studied historical periods.
