Book Synopsis Big Caesars and Little Caesars by : Ferdinand Mount
Download or read book Big Caesars and Little Caesars written by Ferdinand Mount and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR Who said that dictatorship was dead? The world today is full of Strong Men and their imitators. Caesarism is alive and well. Yet in modern times it's become a strangely neglected subject. Ferdinand Mount opens up a fascinating exploration of how and why Caesars seize power and why they fall. "Fast paced and impassioned" -- Sunday Telegraph "Wonderfully wry" -- The Guardian "...a delight" -- Sunday Times "Delicious work, beautifully and acerbically written" -- Wall Street Journal There is a comforting illusion shared by historians and political commentators from Fukuyama back to Macaulay, Mill and Marx, that history progresses in a nice straight line towards liberal democracy or socialism, despite the odd hiccup. In reality, every democracy, however sophisticated or stable it may look, has been attacked or actually destroyed by a would-be Caesar, from Ancient Greece to the present day. Marx was wrong. This Caesarism is not an absurd throwback, it is an ever-present danger. There are Big Caesars who set out to achieve total social control and Little Caesars who merely want to run an agreeable kleptocracy without opposition: from Julius Caesar and Oliver Cromwell through Napoleon and Bolivar, to Mussolini, Salazar, De Gaulle and Trump. The saga of Boris Johnson and Brexit frequently crops up in this author's narrative as a vivid, if Lilliputian instance of the same phenomenon. The final part of this book describes how and why would-be Caesars come to grief, from the Gunpowder Plot to Trump's march on the Capitol and the ejection of Boris Johnson by his own MPs, and ends with a defence of the grubby glories of parliamentary politics and a thought-provoking roadmap of the way back to constitutional government.

Book excerpt: Seventeenth century commonplace book containing poems, accounts, and agricultural notes. The majority of the items consist of poems mostly by relatively minor 16th- and 17th-cenutry English poets and include "Farewell ye gilded follyes," which has been attributed variously; "The soules wish" by Josuah Sylvester; Arthur Warwick's poem beginning "A bubble broke, its air looseth;" and "A motto upon the creede" by Sir Thomas Wroth. Other text includes some very brief accounts and scribbles as well as excerpts from "Arnold's Chronicle" on the "Craft of gryffing and planting of trees." The book apparently belonged to a John Fabian, who inscribed the end flyleaf, though the name Thomas Rolf also appears below this inscription. Fabian's identity is unknown, though there were two contemporary graduates of Oxford and Cambridge by that name.

Book Synopsis The Circulation of Poetry in Manuscript in Early Modern England by : Arthur F. Marotti
Download or read book The Circulation of Poetry in Manuscript in Early Modern England written by Arthur F. Marotti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-26 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the transmission and compilation of poetic texts through manuscripts from the late-Elizabethan era through the mid-seventeenth century, paying attention to the distinctive material, social, and literary features of these documents. The study has two main focuses: the first, the particular social environments in which texts were compiled and, second, the presence within this system of a large body of (usually anonymous) rare or unique poems. Manuscripts from aristocratic, academic, and urban professional environments are examined in separate chapters that highlight particular collections. Two chapters consider the social networking within the university and London that facilitated the transmission within these environments and between them. Although the topic is addressed throughout the study, the place of rare or unique poems in manuscript collections is at the center of the final three chapters. The book as a whole argues that scholars need to pay more attention to the social life of texts in the period and to little-known or unknown rare or unique poems that represent a field of writing broader than that defined in a literary history based mainly on the products of print culture.
