Our protagonist is Alleyne Edricson, second son of a Socman, or substantial free landowner, of an old Saxon line in Hampshire an English county on the southern coast, opposite the Isle of Wight. If blows be what you seek, you need not go further than Hordle. The Doings of Raffles Haw. AP: Please describe the aesthetic in your stores? He clearly has no use for monasticism, asceticism or traditional Christianity: his idea of true religion is entirely carnal, and his attitude to the Catholicism of that era which had not yet strayed so far from its Orthodox roots as it would in later centuries could be described as condescension mixed with mild contempt. The war itself, no doubt true to history, seems rather pointless and one wonders that anyone ever was so willing to shed their blood and those of their countryman for such futile things. Maude makes a striking impression on the abbey-raised young man. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Online Purchase. Jul 09, Laura rated it it was amazing.

He does not, however, deliver any of this material in info-dumps, but works it seamlessly into the texture of the tale though it's true that some episodes do seem to be included solely to illustrate some peculiarity of the time. Sometimes this can come across as a bit too pat, as Doyle manages to have Alleyne cross paths with nearly every segment of medieval society on his journeys along the highways and byways of England and France.

The legitimate grievances of the lower classes are portrayed forcefully here, along with the often savagely violent social unrest in both France and England; we can see both the need for a more just society and the reality that violence against the innocent won't further that goal.

The White Company is credited with introducing to Italy the practice of dismounting men-at-arms in battle, [12] a practice already commonplace in the battles of the Hundred Years' War in France. The Spanish and French attack them in a narrow ravine, where the mighty warriors are almost all destroyed and the Company must disband -- only seven bowmen remain, including John.

I love it for its adventure, its sweetness, its badass women unusual for the time and even moreso for Conan Doyle, its fun characters, and the fact that since it was originally a magazine serial, while it's exciting and fun it is episodic enough to put down when you want to do trivial things like sleep or go to work. I thought the ending for The White Company mildly annoying, but one I knew was coming from page 1. The Doings of Raffles Haw. There was a certain passage that had me a bit puzzled, as I sat pondering it--did it mean what I thought it meant? Alleyne returns to England victorious with John as his squire, only to learn from a lady on the road that Maude and her mother had news that none of the White Company had survived. And we might add, too, an assumption that supporting your king in any quarrel he undertakes automatically qualifies as your legitimate duty. The name is taken from a real-life 14th-century Italian mercenary company, led by John Hawkwood. Shop By Category. Doyle critics the church's tenets, petty rules and conservative attitude which ensnares men in a "narrow, stagnant circle of existence" with a sharp-edged sarcasm, but also through young Alleyne, grown-up but ignorant of the world, presents a colorful society rife with "injustice and violence and the hardness of man to man", where the lights and shadows of life are never clearly divided. His characterizations are also vivid, round and lifelike I don't often identify with romantic action-hero types, but I did with Alleyne! It was a worthy read just for that sake, and pretty exciting and occasionally tense in its own right for that matter. We pass this straight back onto you as cashback. The lady said that love of a "golden-haired squire", who was presumed dead with the fighters, had caused Maude to decide to join a nunnery.

  • A.C. DOYLE • 1859: He Was Born to an Affluent, Strict Irish-Catholic Family in Edinburgh, the Second of Charles Altamont and Mary Foley Doyle’S Ten Children
    Scottish physician and writer, most noted for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes which are generally considered a major innovation in the field of crime fiction, as The Hound of the Baskervilles (1901). His works include science fiction stories, historical novels, plays and romances, poetry, and non-fiction. SECTION SUMMARY A.C. DOYLE • 1859: he was born to an affluent, strict Irish-Catholic family in Edinburgh, the second of Charles Altamont and Mary Foley Doyle’s ten children. Although his family was well-respected in the art world, his father, Charles, who was a life-long alcoholic, had accomplished very little. His mother, Mary, was a lively and well-educated woman who loved to read. She particularly delighted in telling her young son outlandish stories. Her enthusiasm and animation while spinning her wild tales sparked Doyle’s imagination. • 1868: he was sent to England to attend a Jesuit school and two years later he went on to study at Stonyhurst College. A.C. DOYLE His boarding-school experience was brutal: many of his classmates bullied him, and the school practiced ruthless corporal punishment against its students. Over time, Doyle found solace in his flair for storytelling and developed an eager audience of younger students. • 1876-1881: he studied medicine at Edinburgh University, one of the most highly regarded medical schools of the time. It was there that he met Dr. Joseph Bell, the inspiration for the character of Sherlock Holmes. He also had the good fortune to meet classmates and future fellow authors James Barrie and Robert Louis Stevenson and he began to write short stories.

The White CompanyBy S. LoftinThis is a great book. Probably originally written to appeal to younger male readers, it is an enjoyable read. The thing that I liked the most is that today the book would be considered politically incorrect. Examples: men protect the women and fight to gain their honor; pretty much every character is a Christian and faith is an integral part of the character's lives and motivations; there is a well defined dichotomy between good people and actions, and bad people and actions. Enough political incorrectness to force an SJW college student to seek a "safe space".All those things were once common in Western literature, but have gradually been removed from much of modern literature - one reason that I enjoyed reading "The White Company". It is also interesting to learn more about the time when it was written - the medieval period of European and English history. There were many words in the book that even the Kindle dictionary couldn't decipher. To me, a book needs to challenge me with ideas, or vocabulary or a new worldview to make it worth reading.

  • THE WHITE COMPANY by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
    THE WHITE COMPANY By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle CHAPTER I. HOW THE BLACK SHEEP CAME FORTH FROM THE FOLD. The great bell of Beaulieu was ringing. Far away through the forest might be heard its musical clangor and swell. Peat-cutters on Blackdown and fishers upon the Exe heard the distant throbbing rising and falling upon the sultry summer air. It was a common sound in those parts—as common as the chatter of the jays and the booming of the bittern. Yet the fishers and the peasants raised their heads and looked questions at each other, for the angelus had already gone and vespers was still far off. Why should the great bell of Beaulieu toll when the shadows were neither short nor long? All round the Abbey the monks were trooping in. Under the long green- paved avenues of gnarled oaks and of lichened beeches the white-robed brothers gathered to the sound. From the vine-yard and the vine-press, from the bouvary or ox-farm, from the marl-pits and salterns, even from the distant iron-works of Sowley and the outlying grange of St. Leonard's, they had all turned their steps homewards. It had been no sudden call. A swift messenger had the night before sped round to the outlying dependencies of the Abbey, and had left the summons for every monk to be back in the cloisters by the third hour after noontide. So urgent a message had not been issued within the memory of old lay- brother Athanasius, who had cleaned the Abbey knocker since the year after the Battle of Bannockburn.

  • SIR NIGEL by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle INTRODUCTION Dame History Is
    SIR NIGEL By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle INTRODUCTION Dame History is so austere a lady that if one, has been so ill-advised as to take a liberty with her, one should hasten to make amends by repentance and confession. Events have been transposed to the extent of some few months in this narrative in order to preserve the continuity and evenness of the story. I hope so small a divergence may seem a venial error after so many centuries. For the rest, it is as accurate as a good deal of research and hard work could make it. The matter of diction is always a question of taste and discretion in a historical reproduction. In the year 1350 the upper classes still spoke Norman-French, though they were just beginning to condescend to English. The lower classes spoke the English of the original Piers Plowman text, which would be considerably more obscure than their superiors' French if the two were now reproduced or imitated. The most which the chronicles can do is to catch the cadence and style of their talk, and to infuse here and there such a dash of the archaic as may indicate their fashion of speech. I am aware that there are incidents which may strike the modern reader as brutal and repellent. It is useless, however, to draw the Twentieth Century and label it the Fourteenth. It was a sterner age, and men's code of morality, especially in matters of cruelty, was very different. There is no incident in the text for which very good warrant may not be given.

Painless history lesson.By DoctorJoeEComing up on my 300th Kindle download, and still finding the system confusing. Why does one Kindle edition of this book cost $11.26 (virtually the same price as the paperback), while this one - which is annotated, presumably making it the better choice - is 99 cents? And why no indication on the page for the $11.26 version that there is a cheaper option? Lesson for the day, boys and girls: If the version you're looking to buy seems a bit dear, don't assume that there aren't other choices, just because there is no "other editions" button to click on.Anyway, to the book at hand: If you, like most people (sadly), are unaware that Conan Doyle's oeuvre is not limited to the Sherlock Holmes stories, google his bibliography sometime. His prolificacy is as impressive as his versatility -- 22 novels and hundreds of shorter works of fantasy and science fiction, romances, historical novels, and non-fiction, not to mention a dozen or so plays, and several poetry collections.

Thank-you, Collector's Library!By Leigh G.I've enjoyed most of these versions of classic novels since they first came out in 2003. Hardback sturdiness, paperback size price. As with most books these days, they have their share of misprints or mis-spellings, but I've learned to either live with them or to carefully correct them with liquid paper fine-point pen.The Holmes novels, as always, are interesting, not just as mysteries, but as a look at life in the late 1800's. I've also read Doyle's "Sir Nigel" "The White Company," a pair of his historical novels, which one can read as the adventures they are, or as a peek into English French history the attitudes of the time. Three years after his supposed death at the Reichenbach Falls, Sherlock Holmes returns to 221B Baker Street, to the astonishment of Dr Watson and the delight of readers worldwide.
