History Library Book List HG Library Catalogue Get Together G H T G History Group Library Get Together History Group Library Catalogue 1 HG Library Catalogue About the Library Searching the Catalogue: Your search should begin at the 'Contents' page. The catalogue is divided into ten sections or 'Parts', with (where appropriate) sub-sections headed 'Books' and 'Articles'. Under these headings, books and articles are listed alphabetically by author; simply scroll through the library document to find the page or 'Part' you require. 'Part One' to 'Part Four' progress chronologically from 3000BC to the 19th century, and correspond roughly to the 'ancient', 'medieval', 'early modern', and 'modern' periods of history. 'Part Five' is dedicated to the 20th century, and deals mainly with the two World Wars. Each part is prefaced by an 'Introduction' which offers a general indication of the content of that particular section. Biographies or biographical sketches of particular individuals are listed in 'Part Six' (pre 20th century), and 'Part Seven' (20th century). The library holds also several 'Special Collections', which refer to a specific topic, geographic area, or collection of books/articles by a particular author or institution. The subject matter of each individual collection is as listed under 'Part Eight' of the 'Contents' page. 'Part Nine' lists a number of pamphlets or special publications which the library holds on a variety of topics. 'Part Ten', currently under construction, will contain - where available - copies of previous talks by members of the History Group. If you still cannot find the book or article you want, or are unsure as to the precise content of a particular book or article, contact the HG Library at the email address given in the 'Requesting/returning a book or article' section. 2 HG Library Catalogue CONTENTS Page: 4 Part: One 3000BC - 10th Century AD 8 Two 11th Century - mid-16th Century 13 Three Mid-16th Century – Early 18th Century 17 Four Mid-18th Century - 19th Century 22 Five 20th Century 28 Six Biographies; Biographical Sketches (pre-20th C.) 34 Seven Biographies; Biographical Sketches (20th C.) 36 Eight Special Collections: 37 (1) Napoleon; Napoleonic Wars 38 (1a) 'La Glorieuse Épopée de Napoléon' 40 (1b) 'La Grande Armée Napoléonienne' 40 (2) Revolution and Civil War in France & America 42 (3) Scotland & Ireland 44 (3a) Ministers and Men in 17th Century Scotland 45 (4) The Massacre at Oradour-sur-Glane 46 (5) The British Army 46 (6) Time Life Books 46 (7) Africa 48 (8) China 49 (9) John & Pauilne Tonks Collection 53 (10) Vietnam, Iraq, & Falklands Wars 54 (11) Wargaming 54 (12) Ford Madox Ford 55 Appendix 1 Pamphlets & Special Publications (Miscellaneous) 56 Appendix 2 Past Presentations 3 HG Library Catalogue One 3000BC - 10th Century AD 4 HG Library Catalogue Introduction The period 3000BC to the 10th Century AD is popularly known as 'Ancient' history (3000BC- c.500AD); culminating in the 'Dark' or 'Early Middle Ages' (c.500-c.1000}. For those new to a study of the period, Oliver's History of Ancient Britain, and Schama's History of Britain are good starting points. Further afield, themes range from Aldred's Tutankhamun's Egypt [1333-1324BC] to Forte's Viking Empires of the 8th to the 11th centuries AD. War and rebellion are prominent topics, and there are notable features on prominent leaders and warlords such as Alexander the Great [326-323BC], Hannibal [247-c.181BC], Boudicca [d.61AD], and Charlemagne [c.742- 814AD]. The influence of the ancient civilisations of Egypt, Greece and Rome on Western society, culture and religion are not neglected, however, and (for example) the series of articles by Brandon on the development of early Christianity are an increasingly rare and important resource.

Prominent amongst the subjects discussed here are the Crusades, and the cultural renaissance in architecture, art, music and literature which dominated the later period. Given the often troubled relationship between Britain and France, it is perhaps unsurprising that the history of these two countries - and that of warfare and rebellion - forms the bulk of the collection in this section, but there are discussions on subjects as diverse as (for example) the Spanish conquest of the Incas, Japanese civilisation in the 11th century, and medieval Russia.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 © Copyright by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia by Sara Victoria Torres Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Christine Chism, Co-chair Professor Lowell Gallagher, Co-chair My dissertation, “Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia,” traces the legacy of dynastic internationalism in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and early-seventeenth centuries. I argue that the situated tactics of courtly literature use genealogical and geographical paradigms to redefine national sovereignty. Before the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, before the divorce trials of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon in the 1530s, a rich and complex network of dynastic, economic, and political alliances existed between medieval England and the Iberian kingdoms. The marriages of John of Gaunt’s two daughters to the Castilian and Portuguese kings created a legacy of Anglo-Iberian cultural exchange ii that is evident in the literature and manuscript culture of both England and Iberia. Because England, Castile, and Portugal all saw the rise of new dynastic lines at the end of the fourteenth century, the subsequent literature produced at their courts is preoccupied with issues of genealogy, just rule, and political consent. Dynastic foundation narratives compensate for the uncertainties of succession by evoking the longue durée of national histories—of Trojan diaspora narratives, of Roman rule, of apostolic foundation—and situating them within universalizing historical modes.

  • Royal Mail's Kings and Queen's Series Enters the Tudor
    News Release 2 March 2009 ROYAL MAIL’S KINGS AND QUEEN’S SERIES ENTERS THE TUDOR AGE Royal Mail continues its 600 year journey through history with the second in its Kings and Queens series celebrating the Royal Houses of England. Marking the 500th anniversary of the accession of Henry VIII, The House of Tudor, features individual portraits of the six monarchs who ruled during one of the most famous – and infamous - periods in our history, complemented with a four-stamp Miniature Sheet illustrating significant people and events from the period. The stamps - which are issued on 21 April in three 1st, 62p and 81p pairs - and the Miniature Sheet were designed by Atelier Works who also designed the first of the Kings and Queens issues, the Houses of Lancaster and York, in 2008. From the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 to the death of Good Queen Bess in 1603, the age of the House of Tudor saw some of our best known kings and queens sit upon the English throne. Marking the end of the Middle Ages and forged in bloodshed, rancour and upheaval at home and abroad, the Tudor age also saw commerce and arts flourish and the introduction of the Renaissance into England. In addition to its regular products Royal Mail is also producing a Cachet Cover, Henry VIII and Elizabeth I Coin Cover and a Press Sheet consisting of 12 uncut Miniature sheets (see Notes to Editors for further information). Julietta Edgar, Head of Special Stamps at Royal Mail said: “Kings and Queens is one of the most significant series of stamps ever issued by Royal Mail.

  • Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe's Rise: Political
    Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe’s Rise: Political Divergence of the Christian West and the Muslim World before 1500 CE” August 1, 2012 1 Feudalism and Political Stability To formalize the intuition presented in Section 3.3 using a simple framework, suppose that a perfectly myopic, risk-neutral sovereign imperfectly controls a polity that creates output of size one each period. Denote by γ the amount of land controlled by the military regardless of the actions of the sovereign (this can be interpreted as the percentage of the entire polity controlled by the military). Suppose that there are N perfectly myopic, risk-neutral members of the military (where N is sufficiently large) and that γ is evenly distributed between the members of this class. We consider the parameter value γ exogenously given. A value of γ = 0 corresponds to a perfectly absolutist sovereign (who uses mamluks or mercenaries to staff his military) whereas higher values of γ denote more feudal arrangements. Note that our assumption of perfectly myopic agents allows us to abstract from the potentially important issue of how the sovereign compensates the military (i.e., iqta’ rents versus land grants).1 In addition, we abstract from other important issues in order to focus on the sovereign’s desire to prevent a successful revolt. We do so in order to highlight one mechanism that we believe contributes to the observed increase in ruler duration. The order of play in the game is as follows: after observing γ the sovereign moves first and decides whether to keep the entire amount of output he controls to himself or whether to divide it equally between himself and the military.

It would be absurd to suppose that a History of Germany could be written within the compass of 300 pages. The merest outline is all that could be given in this little book, and very much of vast interest and im- portance has necessarily been omitted. But some knowledge of the political events of former days is necessary for all persons—more especially trav- ellers—who desire to understand and appreciate the customs, buildings, paintings, etc., of any country, and it is hoped that short continental histories may be useful to many who have not time or opportunity for closer study. My aim in the present volume has been simply to give one marked characteristic of each King or Emperor's reign, so as to fix it in the memory; and to show how Prussia came to hold its present position of importance amongst the continental powers of Europe. Emily Hawtrey. iiL BOOK I. HISTORY OF GERMANY. INTRODUCTION. CHAPTER I. The mighty Teutonic or German race in Europe did not begin to play its part in history until the decline of the Roman Empire ; but we must all of us feel the warm- est interest in it when it does begin, for it represents not only the central history of Europe in the Middle Ages, but also the rise of our own forefathers in their home and birthplace of Germany.

  • 182. Araua Dinastien Izenak
    182. araua Dinastien izenak Dinastiak izendatzeko irizpideak 1- Dinastiak eponimo (jatorri-izen) ezaguna duenean –pertsona bat edo leku bat– eratorpena baliatu ohi da: -tar atzizkia erabiltzen da (edo -dar aldaera, baldin eta izena -l, -m edo -n letraz amaitzen bada) dinastiako kideak izendatzeko. Adibideak: akemenestarrak (eponimoa: Akemenes) ptolomeotarrak (eponimoa: Ptolomeo) sasandarrak (eponimoa: Sasan) mauryatarrak (eponimoa: Chandragupta Maurya) 2- Eponimoari atzizkia erantsita lortzen den izena nabarmen urruntzen denean inguruko hizkuntza nagusietan erabiltzen den formatik, hobe da dinastiaren izena mailegatzea eta beharrezko grafia-egokitzapenak egitea. Adibideak: lagidak (eta ez Lagos eponimotik abiatuta aterako litzatekeen lagostarrak) argeadak (eta ez Argos eponimotik abiatuta aterako litzatekeen argostarrak) nazariak (eta ez Nasr eponimotik abiatuta aterako litzatekeen nasrtarrak) 3- Eponimoa edo jatorria ezezaguna denean edo dinastiaren jatorrian pertsona-izenik edo leku- izenik ez badago, dinastiaren izena mailegatu egiten da, eta beharrezko grafia-egokitzapenak egiten dira. Adibidez: almohadeak (”al-muwaḥḥidūn], “monoteistak, jainkoaren batasuna aldarrikatzen dutenak] الموحدون :jatorria) abentzerrajeak (”Banū s-Sarāǧ], “uhalgilearen semeak] بنو الرساج :jatorria) almorabideak (”al-Murābiṭūn], “gotorlekuan, monasterioan bizi dena] المرابطون :jatorria) 1 4- Dinastia bat edo leinu bat osatzen duten pertsonen multzoa izendatzeko, Europako Erdi Aroko eta geroagoko dinastien kasuan batez ere, etxe hitza ere erabiltzen da.
