Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Days of Queen Anne To the students of history and of literature alike, the age of Queen Anne is a subject of special interest and importance. It was the Augustan age of English literature and of French as well. It was a period of great conflicts in arms, of fierce controversy in the political world. It was a time of marvelous advancement in science. It was a formative period which influences to a notable degree the daily life of the present time. We see this influence in our architecture and our house furnishings; in our proverbial expressions and our habits of thought; even in our dress and our manners. "Robinson Crusoe" and "Gulliver's Travels" are still the delight of childhood. Newton and Locke are still studied in our colleges. "The Spectator" is still the model of English prose. Pope's couplets are still a part of our practical philosophy. All classes of people throughout the English-speaking world are living in the light of that marvelous era; and wherever the French language is spoken the influence of the Augustan age is felt to-day as it is among ourselves. When Macaulay undertook to write a history of England which should compete in interest with "the last novel," there was the keenest anticipation of his work relating to the age of Queen Anne. Unfortunately, his history stopped abruptly with the death of William the Third - the very day on which Queen Anne became the sovereign of the "three kingdoms." The magnificent work of Macaulay, as left thus, is practically the history of a single reign, with a brief review of the period preceding it. The world has not ceased to mourn the untimely death of the man best qualified to write the history of the age of Queen Anne.

Download or read book Anne written by Olga Hartley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anne: A Novel He had no pleasant associations with Crane Hall. His rare visits to his grandfather in his schooldays had not been socially successful. He saw himself a shy, awkward little boy oppressed by the necessity of being on his best behaviour, half-scared by his grandfather's gruff voice and sarcastic tongue. He had no sentimental regrets about letting the place to strangers. Nevertheless he resented the necessity because he felt cheated out of a sensation that would have amused him. It would have interested him to have the house and estate to use and enjoy. There was nothing interesting or amusing in having the possession as a responsibility, in regarding the house with the eyes of a landlord instead of a host. If he could not afford to live in the place, and fill it with congenial people, the sooner Ross and Allendale filled it with tenants who would spare him the necessity of worrying about the expenses of its maintenance the better he would be pleased. Instead of going back to London with a happy sense of power and benevolence assured by the possession of a good income, a large house, and a hospitable disposition, to be congratulated by friends and acquaintances.

Download or read book The Reign of Queen Anne Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Justin McCarthy and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reign of Queen Anne, Vol. 1 of 2 One of the poets of the later Victorian literature, William Morris, has told in his melodious verso the story of the "Man born to be King," the idea of which is taken from that rich treasure-house of fantasy, the Gesta Romanorum. The story, however, is very different from that which begins under the heading of this first chapter - the story of the Woman born to be Queen. William Morris's hero becomes king in default of every hereditary claim to such a position and in despite of all disadvantages, difficulties, and seeming impossibilities, just because nature had endowed him with the special gifts which are sure to win for their owner a complete success. Queen Anne, on the contrary, was born to be a queen, and under no other conditions could have had the slightest chance of becoming the ruler of a great monarchy. Anne was the last of the Stuart sovereigns. She was the second daughter of James the Second by his first wife, Anne Hyde, who was the daughter of Edward Hyde, afterwards Earl of Clarendon, the famous lawyer, politician, and historian.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Life in the Reign of Queen Anne: Taken From Original Sources The almost total absence of domestic news in the news papers has compelled me to draw largely on the essays and de scriptive books of the time, and in one or two instances I have ventured to transcribe (as in the case of Misson) from works published, or written, two or three years before Anne actually reigned - but the facts were precisely the same as then obtained, so that much has been gained thereby. The Illustrations might, undoubtedly, have been made more artistic and unreal but I have carefully taken them from contemporary prints, and prefer to present them in all their uncouthness and reality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sister Anne This gentleman seemed to be in the neighborhood of thirty years of age; he was of medium height, and rather stout than thin. His face was neither ugly nor hand some; his round eyes protruded overmuch, and his nose, while not exactly flat, had neither the nobility of the Grecian nor the charm of the aquiline type. By way of compensation, he had what is called expression, and possessed the art of forcing his features to depict the sentiment which he desired to seem to feel: an art no less valuable in society than on the stage; for we are actors everywhere, and there are at court, in the city, in palaces, in salons, in boudoirs, and even in the servants' hall, people of unexcelled skill in the art of counterfeiting what they do not feel. Our promenader's costume was neither elegant nor shabby. He was dressed like one who is in the habit of going into society, but not for the purpose of exhibit ing the cut of his coat or the color of his trousers. His beau'ng corresponded with his dress; it was not at all pretentious. You will say, perhaps, that a man does not select so late an hour of the night to adopt a swagger or a mincing gait; I shall, in that case, have the honor to reply that I am drawing the portrait of the man as he was under ordinary circumstances, and that I had made his acquaintance prior to the moment of his introduction to you. Now that you have the means of forming an idea of this individual's appearance, you will perhaps be curious to know what business detained him on the boulevards.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aunt Anne: A Novel So they went to the pier, and sat on one of the side seats at the far end, and looked down into the water, and blinked their happy eyes at the sunshine. And they felt as if all the beautiful world belonged to them, as if they two together were being drawn dreamily on and on into the sky, and sea, and light, to make one glorious whole with happy nature; but a whole in which they would be forever conscious of being together, and never less sleepy or blissful than now. This was Walter's idea, and he said it all in his dear, romantic way that generally ended up with a laugh. It would never do, you know, because we should get nothing to eat.

Download or read book Coming of Age in Mississippi written by Anne Moody and published by Dell. This book was released on 2011-09-07 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unforgettable memoir of a woman at the front lines of the civil rights movement—a harrowing account of black life in the rural South and a powerful affirmation of one person’s ability to affect change. “Anne Moody’s autobiography is an eloquent, moving testimonial to her courage.”—Chicago Tribune Born to a poor couple who were tenant farmers on a plantation in Mississippi, Anne Moody lived through some of the most dangerous days of the pre-civil rights era in the South. The week before she began high school came the news of Emmet Till’s lynching. Before then, she had “known the fear of hunger, hell, and the Devil. But now there was . . . the fear of being killed just because I was black.” In that moment was born the passion for freedom and justice that would change her life. A straight-A student who realized her dream of going to college when she won a basketball scholarship, she finally dared to join the NAACP in her junior year. Through the NAACP and later through CORE and SNCC, she experienced firsthand the demonstrations and sit-ins that were the mainstay of the civil rights movement—and the arrests and jailings, the shotguns, fire hoses, police dogs, billy clubs, and deadly force that were used to destroy it. A deeply personal story but also a portrait of a turning point in our nation’s destiny, this autobiography lets us see history in the making, through the eyes of one of the footsoldiers in the civil rights movement. Praise for Coming of Age in Mississippi “A history of our time, seen from the bottom up, through the eyes of someone who decided for herself that things had to be changed . . . a timely reminder that we cannot now relax.”—Senator Edward Kennedy, The New York Times Book Review “Something is new here . . . rural southern black life begins to speak. It hits the page like a natural force, crude and undeniable and, against all principles of beauty, beautiful.”—The Nation “Engrossing, sensitive, beautiful . . . so candid, so honest, and so touching, as to make it virtually impossible to put down.”—San Francisco Sun-Reporter
