aimless talk of wearied men. The Soldier, who had seen many campaigns, was riding his hobby of the Civil War and descanting on Lee’s tactics in the last Wilderness struggle. I said something about the stark romance of it—of Jeb Stuart flitting like a wraith through the forests; of Sheridan’s attack at Chattanooga, when the charging troops on the ridge were silhouetted against a harvest moon; of Leonidas Polk, last of the warrior Bishops, baptizing his fellow generals by the light of a mess candle. “Romance,” I said, “attended the sombre grey and blue levies as faithfully as she ever rode with knight-errant or crusader.” The Scholar, who was cutting a raw-hide thong, raised his wise eyes. “Does it never occur to you fellows that we are all pretty mixed in our notions? We look for romance in the well-cultivated garden-plots, and when it springs out of virgin soil we are surprised, though any fool might know it was the natural place for it.” He picked up a burning stick to relight his pipe. “The things we call aristocracies and reigning houses are the last places to look for masterful men. They began strongly, but they have been too long in possession. They have been cosseted and comforted and the devil has gone out of their blood. Don’t imagine that I undervalue descent. It is not for nothing that a great man leaves posterity. But who is more likely to inherit the fire—the elder son with his flesh-pots or the younger son with his fortune to find? Just think of it! All the younger sons of younger sons back through the generations! We none of us know our ancestors beyond a little way. We all of us may have kings’ blood in our veins. The dago who blacked my boots at Vancouver may be descended by curious byways from Julius Caesar. “Think of it!” he cried. “The spark once transmitted may smoulder © 2008 Tantor Media, Inc. © 2008 Tantor Media, Inc © 2008 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media,for Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor generationsMedia, Inc. © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media,under Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc. © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor ashes,Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media,but Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media,the Inc. © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantorap Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 200pointed9 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantortime Media, Inc. © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 200will9 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media,come, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc. © 2009 Tantor Media,and Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Incit © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantorwill Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc. © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2009 Tantor Media, Inc © 2008 Tantor Media, Inc © 2008 Tantor Media, Inc © 2008 Tantor Media, Inc © 2008 Tantor Media, Inc © 2008 Tantor Media, Inc flare up to warm the world.

Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief.

  • Treacherous 'Saracens' and Integrated Muslims
    TREACHEROUS ‘SARACENS’ AND INTEGRATED MUSLIMS: THE ISLAMIC OUTLAW IN ROBIN HOOD’S BAND AND THE RE-IMAGINING OF ENGLISH IDENTITY, 1800 TO THE PRESENT 1 ERIC MARTONE Stony Brook University [email protected] 53 In a recent Associated Press article on the impending decay of Sherwood Forest, a director of the conservancy forestry commission remarked, “If you ask someone to think of something typically English or British, they think of the Sherwood Forest and Robin Hood… They are part of our national identity” (Schuman 2007: 1). As this quote suggests, Robin Hood has become an integral component of what it means to be English. Yet the solidification of Robin Hood as a national symbol only dates from the 19 th century. The Robin Hood legend is an evolving narrative. Each generation has been free to appropriate Robin Hood for its own purposes and to graft elements of its contemporary society onto Robin’s medieval world. In this process, modern society has re-imagined the past to suit various needs. One of the needs for which Robin Hood has been re-imagined during late modern history has been the refashioning of English identity. What it means to be English has not been static, but rather in a constant state of revision during the past two centuries. Therefore, Robin Hood has been adjusted accordingly. Fictional narratives erase the incongruities through which national identity was formed into a linear and seemingly inevitable progression, thereby fashioning modern national consciousness. As social scientist Etiénne Balibar argues, the “formation of the nation thus appears as the fulfillment of a ‘project’ stretching over centuries, in which there are different stages and moments of coming to self-awareness” (1991: 86).

For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

  • L'ombre Du Punisher 13 Mai 2016, Par William Blanc
    L'ombre du Punisher 13 mai 2016, par William Blanc Conway Gerry (scénario), Andru Ross (dessins), The Amazing Spider-Man #129, février 1974. Première apparition du Punisher. Le Punisher, anti-héros à la tête de mort et l'un des personnages les plus célèbres de Marvel Comics, apparaît pour la première fois dans The Amazing Spider-Man #129. On le voit tenter de tuer Peter Parker, convaincu qu'il s'agit d'un meurtrier et d'un criminel. Peu à peu, le personnage se développe. On apprend qu'il se nomme Frank Castiglione (ou Frank Castle) et qu'il mène une guerre sans merci aux malfaiteurs depuis que des mafiosi ont tué sa famille. Très vite, il devient l'un des vilains les plus populaires de Marvel Comics. Confronté plusieurs fois à Spider-Man, il se retrouve également face à face avec Captain America et Daredevil. À chaque fois, les méthodes expéditives de l'anti-héros usant volontier d'armes à feu permettent de jeter une lumière positive sur les super-héros (qui eux, n'utilsent généralement que de leurs poings). C'est particulièrement flagrant dans Daredevil #183 (juin 1982) dessiné et scénarisé notamment par Frank Miller dans lequel l'usage par Frank Castle de pistolets ou de fusils est condamné au profit de la méthode du héros Matt Murdock qui veut lui amener les criminels devant la justice. McKenzie Roger (scénario) Miller Frank (scénario et dessins), Janson Klaus (dessins), Daredevil, #183, juin 1982. Cet épisode de Daredevil est aussi l'occasion de critiquer vivement l'usage des armes à feu.

Printed by Oliver & Boyd, / ^ Twseddale Court, High Street, Edinburgh. p PREFACE. Marco Polo has been long regarded as at once the earliest and most distinguished of European travellers. He sur passed every other in the extent of the unknown regions which he visited, as well as in the amount of new and important information collected ; having traversed Asia from one extremity to the other, including the elevated central regions, and those interior provinces of China from which foreigners have since been rigidly excluded. " He has," says Bitter, " been frequently called the Herodotus of the Middle Ages, and he has a just claim to that title. If the name of a discoverer of Asia were to be assigned to any person, nobody would better deserve it." The description of the Chinese court and empire, and of the adjacent countries, under the most powerful of the Asiatic dynasties, forms a grand historical picture not exhibited in any other record.

  • The Twelve Apostles: Design, Construction, and Function Of
    THE TWELVE APOSTLES: DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND FUNCTION OF LATE 16TH-CENTURY SPANISH GALLEONS A Dissertation by JOSE LUIS CASABAN BANACLOCHA Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Cemal Pulak Committee Members, Kevin Crisman James Bradford Donny Hamilton Head of Department, Cynthia Werner December 2017 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2017 José Luis Casabán Banaclocha ABSTRACT The development of the Spanish galleon as a specialized warship took place in Spain during the 16th century. A series of prototypes built in Spain in that century incorporated concepts and technological solutions from both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic maritime traditions, and became the basis for this new type of vessel. The Spanish galleon was designed in response to changes in Atlantic trade routes at the beginning of the 16th century when, as a result of Spanish transoceanic expansion, new and more specialized vessels were needed for both the coastal defense of Spain and its overseas territories, as well as to escort the oceanic fleets. In November 1588, King Philip II of Spain ordered the construction of 12 new galleons of 500, 600, and 800 toneladas, four ships of each tonnage, specifically designed as warships. These galleons were to replace the losses that occurred after the failure of the Spanish Armada against England, since the chronic Spanish shortage of warships was aggravated by the loss of some of the best naval units. This decision marked the beginning of the largest shipbuilding program attempted in Spain until that moment.
