Book Synopsis Marguerite, Countess of Blessington by : Susan Matoff
Download or read book Marguerite, Countess of Blessington written by Susan Matoff and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new biography of Lady Blessington, the first in more than eighty years, illuminates the private and public life of this important but neglected salonnière and author. This study enriches our knowledge of the social, political, and literary history of the post-Romantic and early Victorian era. It examines Lady Blessington’s close friendships with politicians and writers, especially Edward Bulwer Lytton and Benjamin Disraeli. Statesmen, diplomats, writers, and artists were her constant visitors, as they found her friendship and conversation invaluable to their professional and social lives. The circumstances of a life lived in luxury and indulgence changed upon the death of Lady Blessington’s husband, forcing her to support herself and several dependents with her writing. Throughout this biography, Lady Blessington’s voice is evident and should reawaken scholarly and popular interest in her voluminous works. She wrote twenty novels in genres including silver-fork fiction, psychological drama, and verse narrative. She also produced four travel books, many short stories, and numerous poems and edited the popular literary gift annuals Heath’s Book of Beauty and The Keepsake. This book reveals the humanity of a woman whom contemporary gossip considered scandalous because of her alleged relationship with her stepdaughter’s estranged husband, Count D’Orsay. Lady Blessington’s struggle in the face of many challenges is an inspiring story of individual strength. It is a tale of a woman whose legacy of integrity, determination, and sheer hard work provides us with enlarged insights into an era and society often overlooked by history.

This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Confessions of an Elderly Lady I have but one consolation for the degeneracy of the age, and that consists in the conviction that few records of it will descend to posterity. People seem to lose all respect for the past; events succeed each other with such velocity that the most remarkable one of a few years gone by, is no more remembered than if centuries had closed over it. The present race seem tothink only of the actual minute. They are prodigals, who give no thought to their predecessors, and no care to their suc cessers. People were not thus heartless in my youthful days - but everything is changed! The magazines, too how they are fallen off No longer do two interesting looking heads, ycleped, A téta-d or The fair deceiver and the enamoured Philander, meet the gaze, initiating one into some recent morceau of amusing scandal. No - the portrait of some would-be-beauty, or modern author, stares one in the face, endeavouring to look handsome, or clever, with all her or his might; but as it is not often that artists succeed in bestowing either of these expressions on their subjects, they are frequently as unkindly treated by art as by nature.

Book Synopsis The Ecclesiastical and Political History of the Popes of Rome by : Leopold von Ranke
Download or read book The Ecclesiastical and Political History of the Popes of Rome written by Leopold von Ranke and published by . This book was released on 1841 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title does not appear to me to represent accurately the subject of the book, which is not so much a history of the popes, as a history of the great struggle between catholicism and protestantism, between authority and innovation, in which the popes were indeed actors, but generally rather as the servants than the rulers of events. The chief interest of the work lies in the solution it affords of the greatest problem of modern history. It is impossible to contemplate the rapid and apparently resistless progress of the Reformation in its infancy, without wondering what was the power which arrested and forced back the torrent, and reconquered to the ancient faith countries in which protestantism seemed firmly established. The ebb and flow of this mighty wave are traced with singular vividness as well as accuracy in the following pages. - Translator's preface.
