Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1592, Donata is a noble girl living in a palazzo on the Grand Canal. Girls of her class receive no education and rarely leave the palazzo. In a noble family, only one daughter and one son will be allowed to marry; Donata, like all younger daughters, will be sent to a convent. Donata longs to be tutored like her brothers and to see the Venice she has glimpsed only on the map. What is the world beyond her balcony, beyond what she sees when she glides, veiled, in a gondola down the canal? She dresses as a boy and escapes the palazzo on the Grand Canal to see the world before she is shut away, and to try to find a way to escape her fate. Donata risks everything; she changes her life, and her family’s life, forever when she walks through the door and encounters a Venice she never knew existed.

Download or read book Colonization, Piracy, and Trade in Early Modern Europe written by Estelle Paranque and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-03 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection brings together essays examining the international influence of queens, other female rulers, and their representatives from 1450 through 1700, an era of expanding colonial activity and sea trade. As Europe rose in prominence geopolitically, a number of important women—such as Queen Elizabeth I of England, Catherine de Medici, Caterina Cornaro of Cyprus, and Isabel Clara Eugenia of Austria—exerted influence over foreign affairs. Traditionally male-dominated spheres such as trade, colonization, warfare, and espionage were, sometimes for the first time, under the control of powerful women. This interdisciplinary volume examines how they navigated these activities, and how they are represented in literature. By highlighting the links between female power and foreign affairs, Colonization, Piracy, and Trade in Early Modern Europe contributes to a fuller understanding of early modern queenship.

Download or read book Queenship and Revolution in Early Modern Europe written by Carolyn Harris and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queen Marie Antoinette, wife of King Louis XVI of France and Queen Henrietta Maria, wife of King Charles I of England were two of the most notorious queens in European history. They both faced accusations that they had transgressed social, gender and regional norms, and attempted to defend themselves against negative reactions to their behavior. Each queen engaged with the debates of her time concerning the place of women within their families, religion, politics, the public sphere and court culture and attempted to counter criticism of her foreign origins and political influence. The impeachment of Henrietta Maria in 1643 and trial and execution of Marie Antoinette in 1793 were also trials of monarchical government that shaped the English Civil Wars and French Revolution.

Download or read book The Monstrous Regiment of Women written by S. Jansen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-10-17 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Monstrous Regiment of Women , Sharon Jansen explores the case for and against female rule by examining the arguments made by theorists from Sir John Fortescue (1461) through Bishop Bossuet (1680) interweaving their arguments with references to the most well-known early modern queens. The 'story' of early modern European political history looks very different if, instead of focusing on kings and their sons, we see successive generations of powerful women and the shifting political alliances of the period from a very different, and revealing, perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caterina Cornaro was born into one of the most powerful families of 15th century Venice. She was created 'Daughter of Venice' at age 14 so she could marry King James of Cyprus. The King is murdered soon after their marriage is consummated when Caterina is only 19 and she is forbidden to remarry. This does not prevent her taking on secret lovers. After 15 years as Queen, she bows to pressure to relinquish her beloved Island Kingdom to the Republic of Venice and accept her new domain of Asolo in its place. The Domina di Asolo appears outwardly happy, but she is tormented by the deep secret she harbours within. In 1491, after the great earthquake in Cyprus, a young orphan boy is found wandering in the village of Psomolophou and taken in by the monks of Ayios Heiracleidios. After several years, the novice Stavros and his companion Manoli go on a pilgrimage to Rome where they meet Padre Davide, the Domina's Cypriot chaplain. The Domina and the novice monks are destined to meet and her painful secret threatened to be revealed.

Book excerpt: In Bitter Lemons, Durrell tells the perceptive, often humorous, story of his experiences on Cyprus between 1953 and 1956-first as a visitor, then as a householder and teacher, and finally as Press Advisor to a government coping with armed rebellion. Here are unforgettable pictures of the sunlit villages and people, the ancient buildings, mountains and sea-and the somber political tragedy that finally engulfed the island.
