  • Saraband for Dead Lovers
    Saraband for Dead Lovers By Helen de Guerry Simpson Saraband for Dead Lovers I - DUCHESS SOPHIA "I send with all speed," wrote Elizabeth-Charlotte, Duchesse d'Orléans, tucked away in her little room surrounded by portraits of ancestors, "to wish you, my dearest aunt and Serene Highness, joy of the recent betrothal. It will redound to the happiness of Hanover and Zelle. It links two dominions which have long possessed for each other the affection natural to neighbours, but which now may justly embrace as allies. It appears to me that no arrangement could well be more suitable, and I offer to the high contracting parties my sincerest wishes for a continuance of their happiness." The Duchess smiled grimly, dashed her quill into the ink, and proceeded in a more homely manner. "Civilities apart, What in heaven's name is the Duke of Hanover about? This little Sophie-Dorothée will never do; she is not even legitimate, and as for her mother, you know as well as I do that Eléonore d'Olbreuse is nothing better than a French she-poodle to whom uncle George William of Zelle treated himself when he was younger, I will not say more foolish, and has never been able to get rid of since. What, with all respect, was your husband thinking of to bring French blood into a decent German family, and connected with the English throne, too! In brief, my dearest aunt, all this is a mystery to me. I can only presume that it was concluded over your head, and that money played the chief role.

No part of this work covered by the copyright hereon may be reproduced or used in any form or by any means graphic, electronic, or mechanical, including photocopying, recording, taping, Web distribution or information storage retrieval systems without the written permission of the publisher. Summary Don Juan is a unique approach to the already popular legend of the philandering womanizer immortalized in literary and operatic works. Byron’s Don Juan, the name comically anglicized to rhyme with “new one” and “true one,” is a passive character, in many ways a victim of predatory women, and more of a picaresque hero in his unwitting roguishness. Not only is he not the seductive, ruthless Don Juan of legend, he is also not a Byronic hero. That role falls more to the narrator of the comic epic, the two characters being more clearly distinguished than in Byron’s Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage. In Beppo: A Venetian Story, Byron discovered the appropriateness of ottava rima to his own particular style and literary needs. This Italian stanzaic form had been exploited in the burlesque tales of Luigi Pulci, Francesco Berni, and Giovanni Battista Casti, but it was John Hookham Frere’s (1817-1818) that revealed to Byron the seriocomic potential for this flexible form in the satirical piece he was planning. The colloquial, conversational style of ottava rima worked well with both the narrative line of Byron’s mock epic and the serious digressions in which Byron rails against tyranny, hypocrisy, cant, sexual repression, and literary mercenaries.

In fact, Louis-Philippe Turcotte tells us that there were fewer than 5,000 inhabitants in all of New France in 1667, but that number increased exponentially with new arrivals and with each new generation of French Canadiens. By the mid-19th century, the land could no longer support the population, and the push and pull of political and economic forces led to a massive emigration of French-Canadians into the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

  • The Nerevarine Chronicles
    The Nerevarine Chronicles Peace and Prosperity The kingdom of Avalon had existed for nearly a millennium, enjoying peace and prosperity for many of those centuries. In the ebb and flow of time, the races of Avalon united when necessary to converge on a common foe. For the most part, however the dwarves and elves tended to themselves and let the humans, with their shorter life spans, micro-manage the kingdom. As was the custom among humans at the time, people were addressed first by their surname and then their given name. The family name had taken precedence some generations prior, when the Great Houses of Northwind took prominence. Each ruling family was designated as House so-and-so. It did not take long for the custom to trickle out to the human rulers in Dai-Rynn and Dormack. The Great Houses were sometimes referenced by the family crest. House Dagoth, who were worshippers of Pelor, sported a rising sun above a sword, and was commonly called the Sun-and-Sword. House Indoril was called the Moon-and-Star, after their crest, which resembled a tiny slice of the night sky. House Indoril followed Heironeous and the origin of their crest remains a mystery. After the events surrounding the Nerevarine Prophecies, however, this all but ended. Family names were held with honor and pride, but took no more importance over the individual than they had prior. The Great Houses stopped referring to each other as such and that era was left in the wake of these unfortunate events to fade only into the annals of history.

  • How to Be the Branch Herald
    How to Be the Branch Herald by Lord Michael FitzGeoffrey, GdS, OLM Argent Scroll Herald Taught as a 90-minute class at the annual Kingdom Heraldic & Scribal Symposium Kingdom of An Tir October 11, anno societatis XLIX (being 2014 in the common reckoning) INTRODUCTION: For every barony in the SCA, the office of baronial herald is a requirement. Even for smaller groups, the vast majority have a herald as well. But just what is the duty of this officer-of-arms? This class discusses the role of a branch herald considering both the responsibilities and the opportunities that it carries. For purposes of discussion, this course will categorize the functions of a branch herald into three areas: administrative, ceremonial, and technical. Administrative responsibilities are those for which the branch herald is responsible because s/he is an officer of the branch, and are similar to the responsibilities of every other officer in the branch, but not necessarily the job of other heralds. The ceremonial roles of the branch herald are (to a greater or lesser extent) those tasks that set the herald’s office apart from other offices in the branch. When it comes right down to the fundamentals, ceremony is a great part what heraldry entails. This course will discuss what some of those roles are. Finally, for better or for worse, heralds are viewed as technical experts. As such, the branch herald needs to know (or to learn) some of the basics, at least, of book heraldry, and voice heraldry, as well as where to go for further expertise.

Following the conventions of the epistolary novel, an "editor" introduces the correspondents. We learn that Aben-Zaïd is a "learned Oriental" who has grown wise through his travels. Although characterized by a "phlegmatic Asian temperament," Aben-Zaïd is amused by "stories, fables and accounts," which he enjoys sharing with his friends. In the first letter, Aben-Zaïd writes Zadé of his arrival in Constantinople, "the residence of the most powerful prince in the world," Sultan Mahmud. After reflecting on the vicissitudes of Turkish history, he complains of the time that business has taken from his studies.
