Book excerpt: Who does not know the phrase "Have some madeira, m'dear"? Madeira is one of the world's greatest wines, with a fascinating history few others can equal. Capable of evolution over decades and with seemingly indefinite longevity, precious centenarian bottles are sought by wine connoisseurs world wide, but to the ordinary wine lover more commercial wines offer a wide range of delicious and varied drinking. Once dismissed as a cooking wine, discriminating drinkers enjoy it on its own and, increasingly, as an accompaniment to food. Over a million tourists visit this small island every year, and expanding export markets indicate that the recent revival of interest in madeira continues to gain strength. This book, originally published in 1998, was short-listed for the André Simon Award and quickly established itself as a wine classic. Alexander Liddell, recognised as the leading authority on madeira, has known the island and its wine for over forty years, and this completely revised new edition brings matters up to date.

Download or read book The Phelps Family and the Wine Trade in 19th Century Madeira written by Anthea Boylston and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Phelps moved to Madeira with his wife in 1784 to participate in the wine trade, along with a number of other British merchants. It was a family business in all senses of the word. Three of William's sons continued to produce and export Madeira wine until the 1860s. One of them, Joseph, lived there with his family for more than forty years and their diaries and correspondence reveal much about their social life, as well as business affairs. We have transcribed more than 500 letters written by three generations of the family. Selections from the letters form the basis of this present volume and are designed specifically to introduce English readers in Madeira to the role of the Phelps family during the 18th and 19th centuries. William's son-in-law, Robert Page, did much for the inhabitants of Madeira during the time he ran the 'House' and was honoured by the King of Portugal. Joseph and Elizabeth were also philanthropists who founded two schools and she planted many trees to restore deforested areas. Their daughter Bella brought Madeira lace and embroidery to the notice of the wider world at great benefit to the local people. All the family spoke Portuguese which was unusual for expatriots. The letters describe the rigours of reaching the island by sailing ship and coping with outbreaks of disease before an understanding of the cause was possible. There was a scandal in Madeira involving the English church in Funchal and the Reverend Richard Lowe, a famous naturalist whose religious views were based on those of the Oxford Movement. He managed to antagonise half the British community. The Reverend Lowe and Dr Ross went on adventurous trips with Elizabeth Phelps into the high mountains and the letters describe travelling by hammock up precipitous slopes and camping in rocky places. Singing and the playing of musical instruments were important to the family and formed part of the many social events that took place in Funchal. All Joseph and Elizabeth's eleven children lived into their sixties and beyond. Their later lives and careers are described in the final chapter.

Download or read book The Glass of Time written by Michael Cox and published by Emblem Editions. This book was released on 2011-05-18 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning late-Victorian mystery by a master, The Glass of Time is for fans of The Meaning of Night and for readers new to Michael Cox alike. Picking up the lives of characters from the first novel some twenty years later, The Glass of Time begins in 1876. Nineteen-year-old orphan Esperanza Gorst arrives from Paris at the great country house of Evenwood to become lady’s maid to the 26th Baroness Tansor, the former Miss Emily Carteret. But Esperanza is no ordinary servant. She has been sent by her guardian, the mysterious “Madame,” to uncover the secrets that her new mistress has concealed for decades, and to set right a past injustice which — although Esperanza does not know it — is intimately linked with her own future as well as her past. Gradually, those secrets are revealed, and with them the true identities of nearly every character — for it seems that no one in Esperanza’s world is who she believes them to be. She finds herself enmeshed in a complicated web of intrigue, deceit, and murder that culminates in a devastating betrayal by those she trusted most. Richly textured and elegantly told, The Glass of Time is a completely enveloping tale of identity, of the unexpected consequences of hidden truths, and of what can happen when past obsessions impose themselves on an unwilling present.

Book excerpt: A disillusioned soldier looks for love. An exiled Emperor fears assassination. Agatha Christie takes a holiday. And George Bernard Shaw learns to tango. In the aftermath of World War I, Michael Pinfold a disillusioned ex-soldier tries to rescue his failing family wine business on the island of Madeira. In a villa in the hills the exiled Austrian Emperor lives in fear of assassination by Hungarian killers, while in Reid's Hotel, a well-known lady crime novelist is stranded on her way to South Africa and George Bernard Shaw whiles away his days corresponding with his friends, writing a one act play and learning to tango with the hotel manager's spouse. A stranger, Robinson, is found murdered and Michael finds himself manipulated into investigating the crime by his sinister best friend, Johnny Cardozo, the local police chief, with whose wife he is pursuing an arid love affair; manipulated, too, by Father Flaherty, a priest with dubious political interests, and by his own eccentric parent, who claims to have been part of a comedy duo that once entertained the Kaiser with Jewish jokes. Will Michael find love? Will the Emperor escape his would-be killers? Will any of the characters learn the true meaning of the tango?

Download or read book The Oxford History of Anglicanism written by Anthony Milton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford History of Anglicanism is a major new and unprecedented international study of the identity and historical influence of one of the world's largest versions of Christianity. This global study of Anglicanism from the sixteenth century looks at how was Anglican identity constructed and contested at various periods since the sixteenth century; and what was its historical influence during the past six centuries. It explores not just the ecclesiastical and theological aspects of global Anglicanism, but also the political, social, economic, and cultural influences of this form of Christianity that has been historically significant in western culture, and a burgeoning force in non-western societies today. The chapters are written by international exports in their various historical fields which includes the most recent research in their areas, as well as original research. The series forms an invaluable reference for both scholars and interested non-specialists. Volume three of The Oxford History of Anglicanism explores the nineteenth century when Anglicanism developed into a world-wide Christian communion, largely, but not solely, due to the expansion of the British Empire. By the end of this period an Anglican Communion had come into existence as a diverse conglomerate of often competing Anglican identities with their often unresolved tensions and contradictions, but also with some measure of genuine unity. The volume examines the ways the various Anglican identities of the nineteenth century are both metropolitan and colonial constructs, and how they influenced the wider societies in which they formed Anglican Churches.
