Excerpt: ... chapter viii. the treatment the covenanters have received in after times. All that great men, or great causes, demand from their own age or from posterity is not favour nor flattery but simple justice. And yet it is singular, but inevitable, to notice that justice is precisely that which they receive at the latest period, if ever they receive it at all. Abuse is surely and rapidly theirs, partisan attachment, amounting even to idolatry, seldom fails to track their steps; but to the cry of their souls from under the altar for "justice," there is often only a late and a partial reply. Deep is the truth in the strong line of Shakspeare, --" The great soul of the world is just." But it is not a rule without exceptions. And, like certain chancellors, that same " great soul," although a just judge, is wondrously slow in passing his final decisions. The Covenant was unfortunate, on the whole, in its first historians, such as Calderwood, Shields, and Woodrow. Honest and faithful scribes these were; but they wanted every element of the historian, except bare literal truth. They had no imagination, no style, little pictorial power, and of philosophic generalisation they were entirely destitute. It fared otherwise with the great English rebellion. The history of the cavaliers, at least, had more than full justice done to it in that exquisite and seductive book of pictures, called Clarendon's History. On the other N side, too, there were Mrs. Hutchinson's Memoirs and many other interesting tractates containing fractions of the puritanic story. And, indeed, it seems a strong argument in favour of the general righteousness of the Covenanting cause, that the mere rugged outline of its history in Wood

Book Synopsis National Heroes and National Identities by : Linas Eriksonas
Download or read book National Heroes and National Identities written by Linas Eriksonas and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the concept of the heroic, questions what it is that makes the national hero an indispensable appendage to any possible interpretation of national identity, and asks why scholars stop short before coming to terms with this elusive phenomenon. It finds answers by following heroic traditions in Scotland, Norway and Lithuania from the early modern period to the twentieth century. The book argues that heroic traditions - prevailing trends in situating heroes in national history - owe much to the early modern state. Both national heroes and the nation state had been conceived with a similar moral political mindset that looked for new ways to identify sources for commonality. The confluence of political theory and Realpolitik attested to three classical types of polities, i.e. civitas popularis (democracy), regnum (kingship), and optimatium (aristocracy), as found at that time in Scotland, Norway and Lithuania respectively. The author shows the varied impact these patterns had on heroic traditions. The long record of national heroes in Scotland is explained as a vestige of the legacy of civic humanism, the continuing traditions of the heroic king-lines in Norway are seen as a result of long-standing absolutism, while the belated arrival of national heroes in Lithuania is excused by the country's aristocratic if at times oligarchic past.
