Book excerpt: Excerpt from Town Life in the Fifteenth Century, Vol. 2 of 2 But there is another side of the town history which is not less important, and which is far more complicated than the question of its foreign relations and policy - that is, the problem of its own nature, of the spirit by which it was animated and the inherent resources of its corporate life. In the town a new world had grown up with an organization and a polity of its own wholly different from that of the country. Members who joined its community were compelled to renounce all other allegiance and forego any protection from other patrons. The chief magistrate set over its inhabitants must be one of their own fellow-citizens not a far dweller unless in time of special need, such as war, and then only by the pleasure of the commonalty. 1 Adventurers from the manor-houses of the neighbourhood and strangers in search of fortune were equally shut out.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life in a Medieval City: Illustrated by York in the Xvth Century N English history the fifteenth century is the last of the centuries that form the Middle Ages, which were preceded by the age Of racial settlement and followed by that of the great Renaissance. Although the active beginnings Of this new era are to be Observed in the fifteenth century, yet this century belongs essentially to the Middle Ages Perhaps the most attractive feature Of the Middle Ages is that they were so intensely human. A naive spirit appears in their formal literature, as in Chaucer's account Of the Canterbury pilgrims, in their decorated religious manuscripts, in their thought, and very characteristically, in their archi tecture, which combines a simple naturalness with a bold and daring ingenuity. From columns, the constructional motive Of which is so simple and natural, and walls pierced with windows, they erected systems of lofty arches and high stone vaulted roofs, the stability of which depended on very skilled balancing of thrust and counter-thrust.

Download or read book The Widening Gate written by David Harris Sacks and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of capitalism is not to be explained in mere economic terms. David Harris Sacks here demonstrates that the modern Western economy was ushered in by broad processes of social, political, and cultural change. His study of Bristol as it opened it gate to national politics and the Atlantic economy reveals capitalism to be not just a species of economic order but a distinct form of life, governed by its own ethical norms and cultural practices. Availing himself of the methods of "thick description," socio-economic analysis, and political theory, Sacks examines the dynamics by which early modern Bristol moved from a medieval commercial economy to an early capitalist one. Throughout the period, the life of the city depended heavily on the successes of its great overseas merchants. But their quest for a monopoly of trade with the outside world, from the Atlantic seaboard to the Levant, came into conflict with the concerns of Bristol's artisans and retail shopkeepers. The battles of the two factions conditioned social and cultural developments in Bristol for two centuries. Locally, the conflict set the terms for developing conceptions of justice and authority. On a larger scale, it drew the community firmly into the great affairs of the realm and the wider world of expanding markets beyond.
Download or read book The Teller s Tale written by Sophie Raynard and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-10-25 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers new, often unexpected, but always intriguing portraits of the writers of classic fairy tales. For years these authors, who wrote from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, have been either little known or known through skewed, frequently sentimentalized biographical information. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were cast as exemplars of national virtues; Hans Christian Andersen's life became—with his participation—a fairy tale in itself. Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, the prim governess who wrote moral tales for girls, had a more colorful past than her readers would have imagined, and few people knew that nineteen-year-old Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy conspired to kill her much-older husband. Important figures about whom little is known, such as Giovan Francesco Straparola and Giambattista Basile, are rendered more completely than ever before. Uncovering what was obscured for years and with newly discovered evidence, contributors to this fascinating and much-needed volume provide a historical context for Europe's fairy tales.

Book excerpt: Anarchism is a political philosophy and movement that is skeptical of all justifications for authority and seeks to abolish the institutions it claims maintain unnecessary coercion and hierarchy, typically including, though not necessarily limited to, governments, nation states, and capitalism. Anarchism advocates for the replacement of the state with stateless societies or other forms of free associations.
