Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paradoxia Epidemica is a broad-ranging critical study of Renaissance thought, showing how the greatest writers of the period from Erasmus and Rabelais to Donne, Milton, and Shakespeare made conscious use of paradox not only as a figure of speech but as a mode of thought, a way of perceiving the universe, God, nature, and man himself. The book consists of an introduction (historical and topological) and sixteen chapters grouped according to broad types of paradox: rhetorical, theological, ontological, epistemological. Within this framework the author interprets individual writings or art forms as parts of a rich tradition. Originally published in 1966.

Download or read book No Survivors written by Will Henry and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1950, No Survivors was the first of Will Henry’s many novels based on historic incident. In it he shows what General Custer’s lonely stand and final moments at the 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn might have been like, militarily and emotionally. Though the history books say that only the horse Comanche escaped alive, Will Henry creates one other survivor, Colonel John Clayton—and he was doomed, too. The fictional Civil War officer who once saved Custer’s life, Clayton leaves a journal describing his later career on the western frontier. As a civilian scout for the U.S. Army, he tries to head off the Fetterman Massacre. He is captured by Crazy Horse and taken into the Oglala Sioux tribe. For nine years he lives as an Indian—the adopted son of Crazy Horse, an intimate of Sitting Bull, and the husband of a medicine woman. He rides with the Indians against the white invaders, but by 1876 he has to make a choice about who he really is.

Download or read book Piracy and the Decline of Venice 1580 1615 written by Alberto Tenenti and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-04-29 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pirate welfare played a prominent part in Mediterranean life during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Its influence was significant both in the decline of Venice and in the shift of the economic hegemony of Europe. Professor Tenenti maintains that Venice is a fitting focus for study of this period, for the mediterranean became and increasingly a centre of European activity. On one side was Venice which, in spite of a huge navy and a still sizable merchant fleet, observed the strictest neutrality and sought only to protect her trade. On the other were potentially or openly hostile navies, which clashed with one another and frequently also with Venetian shipping. english and Dutch navies forced their way into the area by a combination of trade and piracy and established themselves in positions of great strength. Professor Tenenti analyzes the impact of northern piracy on the trade of the Venetian republic and her failure to resist this threat. During the early seventeenth century Venetian prosperity was irreparably damaged, not only by competition from the north, but also by a severe shipbuilding crisis. He suggests that Venice wa unable to adapt the organization, equipment and discipline of her navy to the changed conditions; for these were spheres in which her pride was particularly strong and tradition enduring. He describes the different types of pirates from the Barbary pirates, the Knights of Malta and the English corsairs to the Uscocchi, whom even sophisticated Venetians regarded as necromancers. The translation of this important work fo Venetian economic history makes a valuable addition to the books on the period available to English readers.

Download or read book The Elizabethans and the Irish written by David B. Quinn and published by Ithaca, N.Y., Published for the Folger Shakespeare Library [Washington] by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1966 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The views held by sixteenth-century Englishmen of the Irish and their way of life were varied and often contradictory. This book explores the English impressions of the Irish during the period when England was trying to tighten her grip on Ireland and "civilize" its inhabitants. Attempts to impose English forms of religion, law, government, taxation, and social organization met with armed resistance; the author describes the old Gaelic society and customs that the Irish fought so desperately to preserve. Then, turning to contemporary accounts and drawings, he presents the differing approaches of the half-dozen major writers on the Irish—"curious, surprised, hostile, censorious, nationalistic, reforming, and, paradoxically, at times sympathetic and brutal almost in the same breath." Descriptions of the Irish by these writers comprise an important part of the book, which ends with the inevitable destruction of the old Irish society by Tudor repression and slaughter, and the movement of many Irishmen to England and the Continent. The volume contains twenty-five contemporary illustrations of Irish life.”-Publisher.
