They reveal Diirer as one of the distinctively modern men of the Renaissance intensely, but not arrogantly, conscious of his own personality; accepting with a pleasant ease the universal admiration of his genius, - a personal.

Book excerpt: Memoirs of Journeys to Venice and the Low Countries By Albrecht Durer Those who go about on the Riva always expect four times the value for anything, for they are the falsest knaves that live there. No one expects to get an honest service of them. For that reason some good people warned me to be on my guard against them. They told me that they cheat both man and beast, and that you could buy better things for less money at Frankfort than at Venice.

If it is well with you, I am as whole-heartedly glad as I should be for myself. I wrote to you recently. I hope the letter reached you. In the meantime my mother has written to me, chiding me for not writing to you, and has given me to understand that you are displeased with me because I do not write to you; and that I must excuse myself to you fully. And she is much worried about it, as is her wont. Now I do not know what excuse to make, except that I am lazy about writing and that you have not been at home. But as [...]".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In and Around Venice I have added some chapters on a few of the less known places in the neighbourhood which may be of use to those who wish to see what the mainland is like. The first chapter appeared in Venetian Studies, now out of print. It was written in 1887, and in some cases reference is made to places which no longer exist. I have let these few passages stand as records of what once was, but have noted the changes at the foot of the page.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italian Journeys, Vol. 1 It seems to him not probable that Tasso should have received there the visit of princes and other distinguished persons whom Duke Alfonso allowed to see him, or that a prisoner who was often permitted to ride about the city in a carriage should have been thrust back into such a cavern on his return to the hospital. After this, says our valet de place who knows how to read and write, visit the prison of Tasso, certain that in the hospital of St Anna that great man was con fined for many years; and, with this chilly warning, leaves his reader to his emotions.

Download or read book Narratives of Low Countries History and Culture written by Jane Fenoulhet and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection explores the ways in which our understanding of the past in Dutch history and culture can be rethought to consider not only how it forms part of the present but how it can relate also to the future. Divided into three parts – The Uses of Myth and History, The Past as Illumination of Cultural Context, and Historiography in Focus – this book seeks to demonstrate the importance of the past by investigating the transmission of culture and its transformations. It reflects on the history of historiography and looks critically at the products of the historiographic process, such as Dutch and Afrikaans literary history. The chapters cover a range of disciplines and approaches: some authors offer a broad view of a particular period, such as Jonathan Israel's contribution on myth and history in the ideological politics of the Dutch Golden Age, while others zoom in on specific genres, texts or historical moments, such as Benjamin Schmidt’s study of the doolhof, a word that today means ‘labyrinth’ but once described a 17th-century educational amusement park. This volume, enlightening and home to multiple paths of enquiry leading in different directions, is an excellent example of what a past-present doolhof might look like.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Records of Travel Little need be said in introduction to the present volume. It is made up of selections, unconnected in their character, from regular and copious notes of travel, which were penned or rather pencilled by the author under various circumstances, either at the moment, or soon after the objects and events they delineate were presented or occurred. The larger proportion of them, as will be seen, are introduced in the form of a diary, and are indeed but a simple copy, with some corrections and additions, not affecting the main matter, from the original journal.
