H, Vol. 8 of 10: Truths and Fictions of the Middle Ages; I. The Merchant and the Friar; II. Three Generations of an Imaginary Norfolk Family The first edition of Truths and Fictions of the Middle Ages: The Merchant and the Friar was published in 1837. In this narrative Sir Francis Palgrave gave a popular application to the fruits of his studies in legal and constitutional history. It is unnecessary to discuss the merits and defects of the method which he adopted; it is enough to say that, while, in the hands of a writer with a special genius for fiction, the historical setting of a tale is liable to distortion, the scholar, on the other hand, who embodies the results of research in narrative form seldom succeeds in making his story lively or interesting. Sir Francis had nothing of the creative power of the novelist; his merchant and friar, and the typical personages whom they encounter, are merely the mouthpieces of the informa tion and ideas which it was his object to convey. His story is a succession of scenes without plot or central interest; it is discursive and interrupted by digressions; its allusiveness may well prove a stumbling-block in the path of the reader for whose benefit it was designed. At the same time, it was written with an Obvious gusto and a vivacity of manner which distinguish it from the ordinary attempt to disguise the material of a historical manual under the cloak of fiction. Its author's phenomenal industry in the study and classification of the national archives stimulated his imagina tion, and the patient toil of which the great collection of Parlia mentary Writs is the most remarkable monument was encouraged by his sense of the human element underlying the superficial dry ness and formality of his records. If the thread which connects the scenes of his story is slight and perfunctory, there is abundance of life in the scenes themselves. His readers can share the enjoy ment which he evidently felt in his account of the election of the knights of the shirea or of the fracas between the followers of the two archbishopsb. Whatever may be the deficiencies of The M er chant and the Friar as a work of narrative art, there is compensation for them in the genial humour of its writer, his interest in all things human, his power of emphasising the salient features of his subject, and his frank expression of his own point of view.

Download or read book The Collected Works of Edward Gibbon written by Edward Gibbon and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2024-01-10 with total page 2853 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "The Collected Works of Edward Gibbon" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Edward Gibbon (1737-1794) was an English historian and Member of Parliament. He is best known for his book, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. The work covers the history of the Roman Empire, Europe, and the Catholic Church from 98 to 1590 and discusses the decline of the Roman Empire in the East and West. Because of its relative objectivity and heavy use of primary sources, unusual at the time, its methodology became a model for later historians. This led to Gibbon being called the first modern historian of ancient Rome.

Download or read book The Complete Historical Works of Xenophon written by Xenophon and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-11-09 with total page 975 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DigiCat presents to you this meticulously edited collection of Xenophon's historical works, formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Content: Anabasis Cyropaedia Hellenica Agesilaus Polity of the Lacedaemonians Polity of the Athenians Anabasis is Xenophon's most famous book. The seven-tome book of the Anabasis describes The March of the Ten Thousand and their return to Greece. Xenophon accompanied the Ten Thousand, a large army of Greek mercenaries hired by Cyrus the Younger, who intended to seize the throne of Persia from his brother, Artaxerxes II. The narration of the journey is Xenophon's best known work, and "one of the great adventures in human history". Hellenica is one of the most important primary sources for the History of the Peloponnesian War and the war's aftermath. Many consider this a very personal work, written by Xenophon in retirement on his Spartan estate, intended primarily for circulation among his friends, for people who knew the main protagonists and events, often because they had participated in them. It covers the events in Greece from 411 to 362 BC, and is considered to be the continuation of the History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides. Cyropaedia is a biography of Cyrus the Great, the founder of Achaemenid Empire and the first Persian Empire. It is "a political romance, describing the education of the ideal ruler, trained to rule as a benevolent despot over his admiring and willing subjects." Aspects of it would become a model for medieval writers of the genre known as mirrors for princes. In turn it was a strong influence upon the most well-known but atypical of these, Machiavelli's The Prince.

Download or read book Who Says Who Shows What Counts written by Essi Rönkkö and published by Block Museum. This book was released on 2021-01-30 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who Says, Who Shows, What Counts invites readers to think critically about how artists, artworks, and museums engage with narratives of the past. Richly illustrated and written for a general audience, this book showcases the depth and breadth of more than fifty recent acquisitions to the Block Museum of Art's contemporary collection, including a wide-ranging selection of works by Dawoud Bey, Shan Goshorn, the Guerrilla Girls, Marisol, Kerry James Marshall, Catherine Opie, Man Ray, Cindy Sherman, Thomas Struth, Tseng Kwong Chi, and Kara Walker, among other artists. The book is a companion publication to the 2021 exhibition of the same name, presented to celebrate the museum's fortieth anniversary, and both draw inspiration from a work by conceptual artist Louise Lawler, Who Says, Who Shows, Who Counts (1990), and are organized around challenging questions of historical representation within artworks and institutions: How can art help us reflect upon, question, rewrite, or reimagine the past? Who has been represented in visual art, how, and by whom? How is history etched onto a landscape or erased from it? How do museums and dominant canons of art history shape our view of history and of the past? Who Says, Who Shows, What Counts demonstrates how an academic art museum's collection can facilitate multidisciplinary connections and tell stories about issues relevant to our lives.
