Excerpt: ... for a considerable period infested and devastated by bodies of mercenary troops, or rather robbers, who resorted thither from all sides in order to sell their lives to Henry, and afterwards to his son Richard Cceur-de-Lion, in fighting their battles against the kings of France. * Richard, who, as we know, had excited the whole province of Guienne to rebel against his father, regretted when too late the disorders that had accompanied his civil, or rather patricidal, warfare; the country was everywhere infested with robbers. f His brother and successor, John, having refused to appear before the French court, to answer the accusation of having murdered his nephew Arthur, was condemned to death, and his estates were confiscated to the crown of France. Philip Augustus, to execute this sentence, levied a numerous army, and seized upon almost the whole of John's continental dominions; but Guienne was spared, on condition that he would acknowledge fealty to Philip, A. D. 1208. In the first year of this reign, a maximum price was established for imported French wines: the value of a tun of Poitou wine, for instance, was fixed at twenty sous sterling; that of Anjou at * Hume, History of the House of Plantagenet, vol. i. p. 373.; Daniel, Histoire de France, vol. iii. p. 302.; Jouannet, &c. f Jouannet, p. 199. twenty-four sous; and all other French wines at twenty-five sous; "unless the wine be so good that one be willing to give two marks and more for it." * The right of seizure, termed prisa, which entitled the king to two hogsheads of wine in every cargo, to be taken one fore and one aft, seems also to date from about the same period. f The unfortunate province, that had been so long suffering from the cruel depredations of the adventurers, was...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1994 to worldwide acclaim, the first edition of Jancis Robinson's seminal volume immediately attained legendary status, winning every major wine book award including the Glenfiddich and Julia Child/IACP awards, as well as writer and woman of the year accolades for its editor on both sides of the Atlantic. Combining meticulously-researched fact with refreshing opinion and wit, The Oxford Companion to Wine presents almost 4,000 entries on every wine-related topic imaginable, from regions and grape varieties to the owners, connoisseurs, growers, and tasters in wine through the ages; from viticulture and oenology to the history of wine, from its origins to the present day. More than 180 esteemed contributors (including 58 new to this edition) range from internationally renowned academics to some of the most famous wine writers and wine specialists in the world. Now exhaustively updated, this fourth edition incorporates the very latest international research to present 300 new entries on topics ranging from additives and wine apps to WSET and Zelen. Over 60 per cent of all entries have been revised; and useful lists and statistics are appended, including a unique list of the world's controlled appellations and their permitted grape varieties, as well as vineyard area, wine production and consumption by country. Illustrated with almost 30 updated maps of every important wine region in the world, many useful charts and diagrams, and 16 stunning colour photographs, this Companion is unlike any other wine book, offering an understanding of wine in all of its wider contexts—notably historical, cultural, and scientific—and serving as a truly companionable point of reference into which any wine-lover can dip and browse.

Download or read book The Temptation of Saint Redon written by Stephen F. Eisenman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1992-12-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bristling with demons, grotesques, and bizarre apparitions, the graphic work of Odilon Redon has often seemed to be the product of a mind unhinged. In The Temptation of Saint Redon, Stephen F. Eisenman argues instead that these works are Redon's conscious and considered response to changing social realities—an attempt to find refuge from the forces of modernization in an imaginative world of the macabre and the fantastic. Eisenman's careful attention to the circumstances of Redon's life (1840-1916) allows him to bring into focus the interconnections between Redon's complex style and the culture and society of his time. Born and raised on a sixteenth-century estate near Bordeaux, Redon was immersed as a child in traditional rural culture. "I spent my entire childhood in the Médoc completely free, among peasant children," he recalled in his memoirs. "I heard them tell supernatural tales—witches still exist there." Indeed, local tales and legends of witches, ghosts, one-eyed monsters, evil eyes, and wood fairies figure prominently in Redon's graphic works, which he called his noirs, or "blacks." After formal training at Bordeaux and Paris in the 1850s and 1860s, Redon began to chart his independent artistic course. Eisenman shows how, rejecting both naturalism and classicism, Redon, a prototypical Symbolist, found in grotesque and epic genres the expression of organic communities and precapitalist societies. He places Redon's desire for this imagined world of superstitious simplicity a desire manifest in his entire mature artistic practice in the context of contemporary avant-garde movements. Redon's great noirs of the 1870s and 1880s, dreamlike configurations of seemingly irreconcilable elements from portraits, still lifes, and landscapes, show an increasingly subtle control of connotation and a complex indebtedness to caricature, allegory, and puns. Many of the noirs also visually interpret works by like-minded authors, including Baudelaire, Flaubert, Poe, and Mallarmé, one of Redon's close friends. Eisenman's analysis of the noirs underscores Redon's interest in creating an imaginative, even fantastic art, that could act directly on the human spirit. In addition to deepening our understanding of Redon and his art, The Temptation of Saint Redon exposes a link between place, politics, personal history, and the artistic imagination.
