D. 1590-1913: With Four Alphabetical Indices, Four Pedigree Sheets, and a Portrait of Edmund, the Great Elizabethan Lawyer There are many oil paintings of great merit in Plowden Hall, chie y portraits of members of the family by various eminent artists.

The Plowden estate in Shropshire is very greatly woodland, and Plowden Wood in particular is very large, a six-mile walk round, and has much wild game in it. The Records of the Plowden Family by Barbara M. Plowden, contains the history of the elder branch, and much of the above has been extracted from it, with the kind permission of the present squire. The present work, there fore, only aims at giving concisely the leading facts connected with the elder branch in the form of an alphabetical index brought up to date.

Book Synopsis Music and Musicians in Late Mughal India by : Katherine Butler Schofield
Download or read book Music and Musicians in Late Mughal India written by Katherine Butler Schofield and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a vast, virtually unstudied archive of Indian writings alongside visual sources, this book presents the first history of music and musicians in late Mughal India c.1748–1858 and takes the lives of nine musicians as entry points into six prominent types of writing on music in Persian, Brajbhasha, Urdu and English, moving from Delhi to Lucknow, Hyderabad, Jaipur and among the British. It shows how a key Mughal cultural field responded to the political, economic and social upheaval of the transition to British rule, while addressing a central philosophical question: can we ever recapture the ephemeral experience of music once the performance is over? These rich, diverse sources shine new light on the wider historical processes of this pivotal transitional period, and provide a new history of music, musicians and their audiences during the precise period in which North Indian classical music coalesced in its modern form.
Book Synopsis Theory and Practice in the Music of the Islamic World by : Rachel Harris
Download or read book Theory and Practice in the Music of the Islamic World written by Rachel Harris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of original essays is dedicated to Owen Wright in recognition of his formative contribution to the study of music in the Islamic Middle East. Wright’s work, which comprises, at the time of writing, six field-defining volumes and countless articles, has reconfigured the relationship between historical musicology and ethnomusicology. No account of the transformation of these fields in recent years can afford to ignore his work. Ranging across the Middle East, Central Asia and North India, this volume brings together historical, philological and ethnographic approaches. The contributors focus on collections of musical notation and song texts, on commercial and ethnographic recordings, on travellers’ reports and descriptions of instruments, on musical institutions and other spaces of musical performance. An introduction provides an overview and critical discussion of Wright’s major publications. The central chapters cover the geographical regions and historical periods addressed in Wright’s publications, with particular emphasis on Ottoman and Timurid legacies. Others discuss music in Greece, Iraq and Iran. Each explores historical continuities and discontinuities, and the constantly changing relationships between music theory and practice. An edited interview with Owen Wright concludes the book and provides a personal assessment of his scholarship and his approach to the history of the music of the Islamic Middle East. Extending the implications of Wright’s own work, this volume argues for an ethnomusicology of the Islamic Middle East in which past and present, text and performance are systematically in dialogue.

Download or read book Edge of Empire written by Maya Jasanoff and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this imaginative book, Maya Jasanoff uncovers the extraordinary stories of collectors who lived on the frontiers of the British Empire in India and Egypt, tracing their exploits to tell an intimate history of imperialism. Jasanoff delves beneath the grand narratives of power, exploitation, and resistance to look at the British Empire through the eyes of the people caught up in it. Written and researched on four continents, Edge of Empire enters a world where people lived, loved, mingled, and identified with one another in ways richer and more complex than previous accounts have led us to believe were possible. And as this book demonstrates, traces of that world remain tangible—and topical—today. An innovative, persuasive, and provocative work of history.

Book Synopsis The Prince and the Plunder by : Andrew Heavens
Download or read book The Prince and the Plunder written by Andrew Heavens and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2022-06-02 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Extraordinary and thrilling ... This story should be known to every man, woman and child' - Lemn Sissay In 1868, British troops charged into the mountain empire of Ethiopia, stormed the citadel of its monarch Tewodros II and grabbed piles of his treasures and sacred manuscripts. They also took his son – six-year-old Prince Alamayu – and brought the boy back with them to the cold shores of England. For the first time, Andrew Heavens tells the whole story of Alamayu, from his early days in his father's fortress on the roof of Africa to his new home across the seas, where he charmed Queen Victoria, chatted with Lord Tennyson and travelled with his towering red-headed guardian Captain Speedy. The orphan prince was celebrated but stereotyped and never allowed to go home. The book also follows the loot – Ethiopia's 'Elgin Marbles' – and tracks it down to its current hiding places in bank vaults, museum store cupboards and a boarded-up cavity in Westminster Abbey. A story of adventure, trauma and tragedy, The Prince and the Plunder is also a tale for our times, as we re-examine Britain's past, pull down statues of imperial grandees and look for other figures to commemorate and celebrate in their place.
