Drawing on military history and book history, this is the first detailed study of the impact of military books on military practice in Jacobean and Caroline England.

Download or read book Renaissance War Studies written by J. R. Hale and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1983-01-01 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the chapters on warfare in the first three volumes of the New Cambridge Modern History, Sir John Hale's writings on the subject present an original and rich assessment of war's place in Renaissance life and thought. The first section of this collection constitutes a major contribution to the study of Renaissance fortifications, their design, planning and execution, and their political as well as their military significance. The second deals with the recruitment and training of officers and men. In the third, contemporary reactions to war are analysed in a variety of social and intellectual contexts. The archival and literary sources drawn on are primarily Italian, in the second place English, but the imaginative scene is that of western Europe as a whole.

Download or read book The Two Latin Cultures and the Foundation of Renaissance Humanism in Medieval Italy written by Ronald G. Witt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the intellectual life of the Kingdom of Italy, the area in which humanism began in the mid thirteenth century, a century or more before exerting its influence on the rest of Europe. Covering a period of over four and a half centuries, this study offers the first integrated analysis of Latin writings produced in the area, examining not only religious, literary, and legal texts. Ronald G. Witt characterizes the changes reflected in these Latin writings as products of the interaction of thought with economic, political, and religious tendencies in Italian society as well as with intellectual influences coming from abroad. His research ultimately traces the early emergence of humanism in northern Italy in the mid thirteenth century to the precocious development of a lay intelligentsia in the region, whose participation in the culture of Latin writing fostered the beginnings of the intellectual movement which would eventually revolutionize all of Europe.

Book excerpt: Giuseppe Tartini è un giovane violinista che come tanti, per realizzare i propri sogni, è posto davanti al dilemma se seguire la via più giusta per raggiungerli o affidarsi a percorsi più rapidi, ma oscuri. All'inizio del XVIII secolo egli si impossessa, con l'inganno, di alcuni spartiti musicali, dando così inizio ad una vita di grandi successi, ma travagliata. L'intelligenza e l'intraprendenza gli consentiranno di progredire negli studi della più varia natura, tra cui la Magia e la Teurgia, e quindi di scoprire il segreto per non morire. Molti anni dopo, la vita del conte decaduto, Andrè D'Aguilles, attento studioso di antropologia del Sud-est europeo, viene sconvolta dalle Guerre Napoleoniche. Audace ufficiale di cavalleria verrà involontariamente risucchiato nella terribile Crisi di Vampirismo che sconvolgeva l'area carpato-balcanico-danubiana. Fra Moravia, Regno d'Ungheria e Balkan selvaggio, fra indovinelli, saggi ebrei sefarditi, duelli, dolore, morte, sangue e folklore si sviluppa la caccia al misterioso Signore dei Vampiri. Tartini, Paganini e Andrè simboleggiano il Male e il Bene, e le scelte che fin da giovani si è chiamati a fare.

Download or read book Spheres of Conflict and Rivalries in Renaissance Europe written by Marc Laureys and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2020-12-14 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is devoted to the spheres in which conflict and rivalries unfolded during the Renaissance and how these social, cultural and geographical settings conditioned the polemics themselves. This is the second of three volumes on 'Renaissance Conflict and Rivalries', which together present the results of research pursued in an International Leverhulme Network. The underlying assumption of the essays in this volume is that conflict and rivalries took place in the public sphere that cannot be understood as single, all-inclusive and universally accessible, but needs rather to be seen as a conglomerate of segments of the public sphere, depending on the persons and the settings involved. The articles collected here address various questions concerning the construction of different segments of the public sphere in Renaissance conflict and rivalries, as well as the communication processes that went on in these spaces to initiate, control and resolve polemical exchanges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After more than half-a-century of wars in Hungary, the conflict between the Habsburgs and the Sublime Porte explodes in 1593, after a series of border incidents. The confrontation was soon regarded as crucial by both sides, also involving the neighbouring states in a complex and ruthless game of diplomacy and betrayal. The organization and the equipment of the various armies of the protagonists of those campaigns are treated together, along with the military operations, and the warfare of the first modern conflict in Eastern Europe.

Download or read book The Aristocracy in England and Tuscany, 1000 - 1250 written by Peter Coss and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the aristocracy in Tuscany and in England across a period of two and a half centuries (1000-1250). It deals first with Tuscany, tracing the history of the aristocracy and illustrating its nature and evolution, and observing aristocratic behaviour and attitudes, and how aristocrats related to other members of society. Peter Coss then examines the history of England in the same periods. It is not, however, a comparative history, but employs Italian insights to look at the aristocracy in England and to move away from the traditional interpretation which revolves around Magna Carta and the idea of English exceptionalism. By offering a study of the aristocracy across a wide time-frame and with themes drawn from Italian historiography, Coss offers a new approach to studying aristocracy within its own contexts.

Download or read book Courts and Courtiers in Renaissance Northern Italy written by Stephen Kolsky and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extraordinary cultural Renaissance in the northern Italian courts of the late 15th and early 16th centuries is the subject of this volume. It starts with Baldessar Castiglione's Book of the Courtier (1528) which encapsulates this sense of renewal: his experiences at court and their subsequent rewriting form the backbone of the work. The author then addresses questions of biography, gender, genre, and the varied roles of the courtier, expanding the perspective of Castiglione's text to include the lives and writings of other courtiers and patrons. What was it like to be a courtier? What were the problems associated with such a lifestyle? The importance of women in court circles is also highlighted in studies of one of the most notable of female patrons Isabella d'Este (1474-1539) and of the theoretical developments in writing about gender, stimulated by such women. Stephen Kolsky's analysis of both well-known and comparatively obscure texts brings out the diversity of practices that constituted court society and their centrality to our understanding of the Renaissance.

Download or read book The Arthur of the Italians written by and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive book on the Arthurian legend in medieval and Renaissance Italy since Edmund Gardner's 1930 The Arthurian Legend in Italian Literature. Arthurian material reached all levels of Italian society, from princely courts with their luxury books and frescoed palaces, to the merchant classes and even popular audiences in the piazza, which enjoyed shorter retellings in verse and prose. Unique assemblages emerge on Italian soil, such as the Compilation of Rustichello da Pisa or the innovative Tavola Ritonda, in versions made for both Tuscany and the Po Valley. Chapters examine the transmission of the French romances across Italy; reworkings in various Italian regional dialects; the textual relations of the prose Tristan; narrative structures employed by Italian writers; later ottava rima poetic versions in the new medium of printed books; the Arthurian-themed art of the Middle Ages and Renaissance; and more. The Arthur of the Italians offers a rich corpus of new criticism by scholars who have brought the Italian Arthurian material back into critical conversation.
