Book Synopsis The King's Nurseries by : John Field
Download or read book The King's Nurseries written by John Field and published by Taylor & Francis Group. This book was released on 1987 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Westminster is unique among major public schools in that it remains in the heart of London, on the site of its medieval beginnings. As a result its history is continuoulsy intertwined with the momentous state events and political turmoils of the capital. It has enjoyed royal patronage and a fair share of political influence. But its position close to the seat of power has also sometimes been dangerous. Its principal buildings were destroyed by enemy action in 1941. This book is about the life of this institution: its Head Masters, its staff and its pupils. The latter were by no means always a credit to the school: they committed murder; they were disruptive at Queen Victoria's coronation; they vilified one unpopular Head Master; and for a period they pretty well ran the school. They also emerge as the true heroes of the story. Old Westminsters dominated Parliament for most of the 18th century; the output of leading politicians, statesmen and soldiers has continued to this day. The school's contribution to literature, philosophy and the arts, has been immense. In addition to its famous successes Westminster has prodouced some outstanding failures, some notable revolutionaries and traitors, and some disarming eccentrics. The auther is librarian and archivist at Westminster School, and has taught English there since 1964, as well as directing plays, operas and musicals. He has unearthed previously undiscovered documents and anecdotes, to add to the accounts of previous histories, as well as bringing it up-to-date to cover the last four decades of change. -- Product Description.

Book Synopsis Bourgeois and Aristocratic Cultural Encounters in Garden Art, 1550-1850 by : Michel Conan
Download or read book Bourgeois and Aristocratic Cultural Encounters in Garden Art, 1550-1850 written by Michel Conan and published by Dumbarton Oaks. This book was released on 2002 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developments in garden art cannot be isolated from the social changes upon which they either depend or have some bearing. Bourgeois and Aristocratic Cultural Encounters in Garden Art, 1550 - 1850 offers an unparalleled opportunity to discover how complex relationships between bourgeois and aristocrats have led to developments in garden art from the Renaissance into the Industrial Revolution, irrespective of stylistic differences. These essays show how garden creation has contributed to the blurring of social boundaries and to the ongoing redefinition of the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy. Also illustrated is the aggressive use of gardens by bourgeois in more-or-less successful attempts at subverting existing social hierarchies in renaissance Genoa and eighteenth-century Bristol, England; as well as the opposite, as demonstrated by the king of France, Louis XIV, who claimed to rule the arts, but imitated the curieux fleuristes, a group of amateurs from diverse strata of French society. Essays in this volume explore this complex framework of relationships in diverse settings in Britain, France, Biedermeier Vienna, and renaissance Genoa. The volume confirms that gardens were objects of conspicuous consumption, but also challenges the theories of consumption set forth by Thorstein Veblen and Pierre Bourdieu, and explores the contributions of gardens to major cultural changes like the rise of public opinion, gender and family relationships, and capitalism. Garden history, then, informs many of the debates of contemporary cultural history, ranging from rural management practices in early seventeenth-century France to the development of a sense of British pride at the expansive Vauxhall Gardens favored equally by the legendary Frederick, Prince of Wales, and by the teeming London masses. This volume amply demonstrates the varied and extensive contributions of garden creation to cultural exchange between 1550 and 1850. -- Publisher's description.

Download or read book The Border Lord's Bride written by Bertrice Small and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2007-10-02 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Bertrice Small continues her Border Chronicles with this tale of a woman rescued, a man enraptured, and a love unanticipated by the fates… Duncan Armstrong, laird of Duffdour, had sworn never to wed unless it was to a lass he truly loved. But when he needs a favor from King James, Duncan never expects what he’s forced to pay in return: the taking of a bride he neither loves nor desires. When Highland heiress Ellen MacArther’s marriage plans are thwarted by a murder attempt, she has no choice but to beg the king for help. The cost for her urgent plea: to surrender her heritage and become a border lord’s bride. But the price to be paid for two strangers thrown together by fate is higher than imagined. And more dangerous than the passion—and betrayal—that could consume them.

Book Synopsis The Story of the Nursery by : Magdalen King-Hall
Download or read book The Story of the Nursery written by Magdalen King-Hall and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-21 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1958, this reconstruction of the lives of young children of nursery age is an excursion into the past, from the Middle Ages to the opening years of the twentieth century. It tells of the methods, often extraordinary to our ideas, by which they were brought up from babyhood to about seven years old, their clothes, diet, the fearsome remedies that were inflicted on them in illness, their toys, games, books and first steps in education. It shows how the pristine simplicity of the child’s nature, which hardly alters throughout the centuries, was moulded by the pressure of the adult society around them into some semblance of the accepted contemporary type. This story of the nursery is not only about young children, but about their parents too. There are parents in it who are stern, harsh, even cruel, and many more loving and careful ones; but one thing strikes us in these parents of former times: there is an air of unassailable confidence and certainty about them that the modern parent, versed in child psychology, would find it hard to achieve. As one seventeenth-century worthy put it, ‘For that which always happens in a concerne so universall as breeding children must needs be provided for by a traditionell method of proceeding.’
Book Synopsis From Childhood to Chivalry by : Nicholas Orme
Download or read book From Childhood to Chivalry written by Nicholas Orme and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1984, this is a study of the kings and the aristocracy who ruled England between the Conquest and the Reformation. Not, as usual, about their adult lives, but how they became the people they were through childhood and education. The first such study of its kind, it follows noble boys and girls from birth through the care of their nurses, masters and mistresses, until they left home for further training in noble households, monasteries and universities. The author examines the theories and treatises on noble education, again for the first time. The rest of the book broadens into a wide cultural survey as Dr Orme describes the skills and ideas which noble children learnt. He explains how they mastered speech and literacy; worship and behaviour; dancing, music and applied art; athletics and training for war. This part of the study is a handbook of noble pursuits in medieval times. In his final chapter the author considers the nature of noble education in the middles ages, and examines how and whether it changed at the Renaissance. Nicholas Orme has written a comprehensive study, spanning 450 years of English history and making a major contribution to social and cultural history, as well as the history of education. His book will be invaluable to historians and medievalists of all disciplines, and essential reading from those who study the Renaissance.

Download or read book The Secret History of Nursery Rhymes written by Linda Alchin and published by Linda Alchin. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many nursery rhymes are believed to be associated with actual events in history, and include references to murder, torture, betrayal, greed, and to tyrants and royalty. The words were remembered but their secret histories were forgotten. Political satire was cleverly disguised in the wording of some, seemingly innocent, nursery rhymes. Although some of the most popular Nursery Rhymes are rooted in English history they are told to children throughout the English-speaking world. Old English Nursery Rhymes were taken to America with the settlers from England. They were then spread across Commonwealth countries including Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
