The Royal Bastards of Medieval England

The Royal Bastards of Medieval England

First published in 1984 The Royal Bastards of Medieval England establishes a list of royal bastards in medieval England and discusses their roles in the history of the period. The authors describe how gradually the church began to formulate more definite views on sexual and marital customs with a consequent decline in the status of illegitimate children. By early sixteenth century however royal bastards were once again making their way into the peerage. The book charts the lives of these men and women against the background not only of contemporary political developments but also of changing ideas about morality and family. This book will be of interest to students of history religion and literature.

Royal Journeys in Early Modern Europe Progresses Palaces and Panache

Royal Journeys in Early Modern Europe Progresses Palaces and Panache

Authored by a unique combination of university academics and heritage professionals this book offers new perspectives on journeys made by Henry VIII and other monarchs their political and social impact and the logistics required in undertaking such trips. It explores the performance of kingship and queenship by itinerant monarchs investigating how by a variety of means they engaged and interacted with their subjects and the practical and symbolic functions associated with these activities. Moving beyond the purely English experience it provides a European dimension by comparing progresses in England and France. Royal marriage and the royal progress share common features which are considered through an analysis of the trans-European journeys made by future spouses notably Anne of Cleves. Also the book reveals the significance of the art and architecture of houses and palaces and how the celebrated meeting of English and French kings at the Field of Cloth of Gold in 1520 was part of a wider diplomatic performance full of symbolism including the exchange of gifts and socialising between the two royal courts. Drawing on contemporary art material culture and surviving buildings the book will be of interest to all who enjoy the intrigue and splendour of sixteenth-century courts. | Royal Journeys in Early Modern Europe Progresses Palaces and Panache

Recovering Naval Power Henry Maydman and the Revival of the Royal Navy

Recovering Naval Power Henry Maydman and the Revival of the Royal Navy

This book offers a new edition of Henry Maydman’s work Naval Speculations with a detailed commentary by two leading experts on its importance to the naval issues of the 21st century. Written at a revolutionary and troubling time Maydman’s 1691 book offers an analysis of the state of the Royal Navy at the time together with a set of recommendations for its improvement. It not only tells us a good deal about the Royal Navy of the time but also provides a general theory of why navies decline and what can be done to rejuvenate them. Recovering Naval Power shows that the issues he identifies have applied to every navy in every period. We are now seeing the dramatic rejuvenation of the Chinese Navy and the reactions to it of the US and other navies together with a new rise in naval tensions in the Euro-Atlantic. Despite the obvious political economic and technological differences between Maydman’s day and ours this work shows that his recommendations could hardly be more relevant in today’s circumstances. Alongside the modified text of Naval Speculations this book includes a preface and two chapters addressing first the Royal Navy of Maydman's time and his role in it and second the relevance of what Maydman said for the navies of the 21st century. The book concludes with some overall comments about Maydman and the recovery of naval power and recommendations for further reading. This book will be of much interest to students of naval history maritime power strategic studies and International Relations in general. | Recovering Naval Power Henry Maydman and the Revival of the Royal Navy

The Milne Papers Volume III: The Royal Navy and the American Civil War 1862–1864

The Milne Papers Volume III: The Royal Navy and the American Civil War 1862–1864

This collection covers the period February 1862-March 1864 which constituted the final two years and one month that Rear-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne commanded the Royal Navy’s North America and West India Station. Its chief focus is upon Anglo-American relations in the midst of the American Civil War. Whilst the most high-profile cause of tension between the two countries — the Trent Affair — had been resolved in Britain’s favour by January 1862 numerous sources of discord remained. Most turned on American efforts to blockade the so-called Confederacy efforts that often ran afoul of international law not to mention British amour-propre. As commander of British naval forces in the theatre Milne’s decisions and actions could and did have a major impact on the state of affairs between his government and that of the US. While noting in one private exchange with the British ambassador to Washington Richard Lord Lyons that he had been enjoined to abstain from any act likely to involve Great Britain in hostilities with the United States Milne added ominously yet I am also instructed to guard our Commerce from all illegal interference and it is plain from his correspondence that both he and the British government were prepared to use force in that undertaking. Thus between apparently high-handed behaviour by the US Navy and Milne’s and the Palmerston government’s resolve not to be pushed beyond a certain point the ingredients for a major confrontation between the two countries existed. Yet most of Milne’s efforts were directed toward preventing such a confrontation from occurring. In this endeavour he was joined by Lyons and by the British government. No vital British interest was at stake in the conflict raging between North and South and thus the nation was unlikely to become directly involved in it unless provoked by rash US actions. Yet there was no shortage of such provocations: the seizure of British merchant vessels bound from one neutral port to another detaining such ships without first conducting a search of their cargo for evidence of contraband of war the de facto blockade of British colonial ports apparent violations of British territorial waters the seizure of British merchantmen off the neutral port of Matamoros Mexico and the use of neutral ports as bases of operations by US warships among them. In responding to these and other sources of dispute between the US and Britain Milne proved adept at pouring oil on troubled waters so much so that in a late 1863 letter to Foreign Secretary Lord Russell Lyons lamented his impending departure from the station: I am very much grieved at his leaving…. No change of admirals could be for the better. This collection centres upon Milne’s private correspondence especially that between him and Lyons First Lord of the Admiralty the Duke of Somerset and First Naval Lord Vice Admiral Sir Frederick Grey. It also includes private letters to and from many of Milne’s other professional correspondents and important official correspondence with the Admiralty. | The Milne Papers Volume III: The Royal Navy and the American Civil War 1862–1864

From Obscurity to Light Women in Early Medieval Orissa (Seventh to Twelfth Centuries AD)

From Obscurity to Light Women in Early Medieval Orissa (Seventh to Twelfth Centuries AD)

This book attempts to reintegrate women into the socio-political milieu of early medieval Orissa. Its sources are inscriptions mostly Sanskrit that date from the seventh century to the end of the reign of the Imperial Ganga ruler Anantavarman Codagangadeva (CE 1078-1147). The evidence indicates that royal and non-royal women had varying but undeniably important roles to play in the socio-political fabric of this prominent regional entity. The Bhauma-Kara dynasty (c. mid-eighth/ninth-late tenth century) that witnessed the rule of six women four of them in succession is a case in point. In addition the palpable presence of several other royal and non-royal women is consistently documented in the epigraphic record. This is an aspect that has received very little attention in secondary works thereby rendering this study a pioneering one. The work follows on from Rangachari’s earlier Invisible Women Visible Histories: Gender Polity and Society in North India (7th to 12th century ad) which had focused on important gendered aspects of early medieval north India through an analysis of literary and epigraphic sources of Kashmir Kanauj Bengal and Bihar. The invisibilization of women whereby their presence is routinely ignored or trivialized was similarly its underlying essence.

Victoria and Albert at Home

Victoria and Albert at Home

First Published in 1980 Victoria and Albert at Home describes the sitting construction and decorating of the two royal residences at Osborne and Balmoral and paints a memorable portrait of the Queen’s family and her Court beside the Solent and the Dee. At the time of their marriage the royal couple had the use of many crown properties but except for Windsor Castle they found none to their taste and began to look for a home of their own. Sir Robert Peel found them an estate on the Isle of Wight which was peaceful beautiful and at that time sufficiently remote from London. However when access from London became swifter and easier their privacy was lost and they looked elsewhere for a second private family residence. A small estate in Scotland was recommended and Prince Albert once again designed the house this time in Scottish baronial style. Drawing on memories archives and family papers some of which with a number of illustrations have never been published before Tyler Whittle has written an interesting entertaining and vivid account of life at a time so very much more elegant and yet at the same time so very much robust than anything that can be imagined today. This is a must read for students and scholars of British history and Royal history.

When Cats Reigned Like Kings On the Trail of the Sacred Cats

When Cats Reigned Like Kings On the Trail of the Sacred Cats

In her fascinating exploration of feline history Georgie Anne Geyer explores the connections between the royal and sacred felines of ancient civilizations and the beloved domestic cats of today. Chasing an irresistible mystery across the globe Geyer conducts exhaustive research into the little-known puzzle of how cats came to occupy their unique position in the lives of humans. Treated with the tenacity resourcefulness and narrative instinct of a seasoned foreign correspondent the investigation yields unexpected answers and poses tantalizing new questions. It was Geyer's curiosity about her own cats that inspired her to study the history of human-feline relations and especially the exalted status of cats among the ancients as royal or sacred beings. In Egypt Geyer learned of the cat-goddess Bastet and of the cat's role in the transmigration of souls. In Myanmar she saw Leonardo DiCaprio Ricky Martin and the other incongruously named cats of the Nga Phe Kyaung monastery trained by the monks to jump through hoops. She even met a family who dutifully guards the heritage of the Japanese Bobtail cultivating the line in of all places rural Virginia. Richly illustrated with photographs of Geyer's journeys and historical cat images When Cats Reigned Like Kings describes forty-one recognized modern cat breeds plus other popular cats. Every cat lover can thus trace his or her cat to these breeds and their many relatives. The result is a remarkable book bound to delight and amaze cat fanciers and adventure seekers. | When Cats Reigned Like Kings On the Trail of the Sacred Cats

Abbot Suger of St-Denis Church and State in Early Twelfth-Century France

Abbot Suger of St-Denis Church and State in Early Twelfth-Century France

Based on a fresh reading of primary sources Lindy Grant's comprehensive biography of Abbot Suger (1081-1151) provides a reassessment of a key figure of the twelfth century. Active in secular and religious affairs alike - Suger was Regent of France and also abbot of one of the most important abbeys in Europe during the time of the Gregorian reforms. But he is primarily remembered as a great artistic patron whose commissions included buildings in the new Gothic style. Lindy Grant reviews him in all these roles - and offers a corrective to the current tendency to exaggerate his role as architect of both French royal power and the new gothic form. | Abbot Suger of St-Denis Church and State in Early Twelfth-Century France

Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

This volume by the late Bernd J. Diebner presents an anthology of studies previously published only in German from 1971 to 2020 on a wide range of topics in biblical studies. The 18 essays in this collection offer profound insight into the works of German scholarship which have strongly influenced biblical studies and related research in the 20th century. Being an important but lesser recognized ‘member’ of the Copenhagen school Diebner voiced serious criticism of contemporary biblical scholarship which is discussed in the first seven chapters. The remaining chapters offer challenging new perspectives on well-known themes narratives and compositions related to history ideology and archaeology on the one hand and text and canon on the other as alternatives to traditional historical–critical approaches. Now published in English for the first time this volume makes these essays available to Anglophone students and scholars of biblical and ancient Near Eastern studies. | Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

Women and Dramatic Production 1550 - 1700

Women and Dramatic Production 1550 - 1700

There is a traditional view that women were absent from the field of dramatic production in the early modern period because of their exclusion from professional theatre. Women and Dramatic Production 1550-1700 challenges this view and breaks new ground in arguing that far from writing in closeted retreat a select number of women took an active part in directing and controlling dramatic self-representations. Examining texts from the mid-sixteenth century through to the end of the seventeenth the chapters trace the development of a women-centred aesthetic in a variety of dramatic forms. Plays by noblewomen such as Mary Sidney Elizabeth Cary Mary Wroth Rachel Fane and the women of the Cavendish family form an alternative dramatic tradition centred on the household. The powerful directorial and performative roles played by queens in royal progresses and masques are explored as examples of women's dramatic production in the royal court. The book also highlights women's performances in alternative venues such as the courtroom and the pulpit arguing that the practices of martyrs like Margaret Clitherow or visionaries like Anna Trapnel call into question traditional definitions of theatre. The challenges faced by women who were admitted to the professional theatre companies after 1660 are explored in two chapters which deal with the plays of Katherine Philips Elizabeth Polwhele Aphra Behn and Mary Pix among others. By considering the theatrical dimensions of a wide range of early modern women's writing this book reveals the breathtaking panorama of women's dramatic production and will be essential reading for students of women's writing and renaissance drama. | Women and Dramatic Production 1550 - 1700

A Rape of the Soul So Profound The return of the Stolen Generation

A Rape of the Soul So Profound The return of the Stolen Generation

A Rape of the Soul So Profound began when a young researcher accidentally came upon restricted files in an archives collection. What he read overturned all his assumptions about an important part of Aboriginal experience and Australia's past. The book ends in the present 20 years later in the aftermath of the Royal Commission on the Stolen Generations. Along the way Peter Read investigates how good intentions masked policies with inhuman results. He tells the poignant stories of many individuals some of whom were forever broken and some who went on to achieve great things. This is a book about much sorrow and occasional madness about governments who pretended things didn't happen and about the opportunities offered to right a great wrong. | A Rape of the Soul So Profound The return of the Stolen Generation

Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

This book explores the effectiveness of governance networks on the design and implementation of sustainability strategies. European cities are actively developing sustainability strategies to address the impact of climate change. One recent approach many cities have taken is the creation of ‘governance networks’: groups of public private and third sector organisations which collaborate to support urban sustainability efforts. Drawing on two case studies in Glasgow and Copenhagen this book explores the concept of governance networks in theory and practice revealing how stakeholder collaboration leadership and innovation within these networks can help or hinder the process. It also highlights the many benefits of these networks including increased participation in the decision-making process increased levels of resources and expertise on sustainability issues as well as stakeholder buy-in for sustainability policies. This book provides recommendations for improving the efficiency of governance networks and will be of interest to academics and practitioners working in the areas of urban governance and sustainability. | Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

Literature and Science

Literature and Science

First published in 1954 Literature and Science discusses historically the relationship between science and literature and between scientists and men of letters from the Renaissance onwards. It shows periods when writers were enthusiastic about science as in the early days of the Royal Society and notably through the influence of Newton. Further it explores the later alienation between science and literature in the technological and industrial age. There is a full account of Wordsworth’s crucial relationships to these problems which leads to a number of new conclusions. Apart from his historical survey Dr. Ifor Evans emphasises the contemporary importance of the relationship of the artist and the scientist and outlines an approach to a new humanism in which the writer may reach some closer understanding of science than he has at present attained. Students interested in literature history of literature and critical theory will find this book enlightening.

Liberalism and Naval Strategy Ideology Interest and Sea Power During the Pax Britannica

Liberalism and Naval Strategy Ideology Interest and Sea Power During the Pax Britannica

Liberalism and Naval Strategy (1986) examines the role that liberalism played in shaping the naval strategy of the Pax Britannia. Liberalism was linked to commercial interest and the devotion of the middle classes to peaceful commerce and their suspicion of force as government policy helped to inform critical choices. The traditional British naval strategy of the mercantilist era persisted into the early nineteenth century when the Royal Navy’s policing of the seas against piracy and the slave trade antagonized trade rivals particularly America. By the 1850s Britain granted immunity to neutral shipping – after much debate with some of the century’s leading thinkers including Mill and Marx taking prominent parts in the naval controversies. This book examines these events as well as the writings of contemporary naval strategists including the Colomb brothers. It also discusses the strategic posture of the Admiralty and its opponents before and during the war against Germany in 1914. | Liberalism and Naval Strategy Ideology Interest and Sea Power During the Pax Britannica

Unrepresented States and the Construction of Meaning Clinical and Theoretical Contributions

Unrepresented States and the Construction of Meaning Clinical and Theoretical Contributions

In the last several decades the analytic field has widened considerably in scope. The therapeutic task is now seen by an increasing number of analysts to require that patient and analyst work together to strengthen or to create psychic structure that was previously weak missing or functionally inoperative. This view which may apply to all patients but is especially relevant to the treatment of non-neurotic patients and states of mind stands in stark contrast to the more traditional assumption that the therapeutic task involves the uncovering of the unconscious dimension of a present pathological compromise formation that holds a potentially healthy ego in thrall. The contrast which this book calls attention to is that which exists roughly between formulations of psychic structure and functioning that were once assumed to have been sufficiently well explained by the hypotheses of Freud's topographic theory and those that were not. The former are modeled on neurosis and dream interpretation where conflicts between relatively well-defined (saturated) and psychically represented desires were assumed to operate under the aegis of the pleasure-unpleasure principle. | Unrepresented States and the Construction of Meaning Clinical and Theoretical Contributions
