Book excerpt: En Normandie, pendant la guerre de Cent Ans, l'arrivée conquérante d'Henri V d'Angleterre en 1417 à Touques, provoque des réactions vives parmi les habitants de la côte. De Harfleur au Mont Saint-Michel certains Normands choisissent la résistance, même si cela signifie suivre des chefs qui se révèlent être des brigands sans foi ni loi. La jeune Perrine de Pennedepie, va voir sa vie basculer lorsque son mari Guillaume, plus tard son amant Richard, un déserteur anglais, l'entraînent dans le brigandage et la lutte contre les occupants anglais, les troupes d'Henri V puis celles de son successeur le régent duc de Bedford. Le destin tragique de la jeune femme, la mène jusqu'à sa condamnation à mort par enfouissement pour avoir tué un Anglais. Son fils, Rémi, devenu homme, fortement marqué par la mort de son père puis l'exécution de sa mère, entend poursuivre le combat. Sa quête pour libérer la Normandie le conduit à intégrer l'armée régulière de Charles VII, participant ainsi à des batailles décisives. Quand il revient de la guerre, il découvre la bouleversante vérité sur le sort de sa mère et de sa famille. Ce roman nous fait traverser avec Perrine puis avec son fils Rémi, les tourments qu'infligea la guerre de Cent Ans à des gens ordinaires, des gens du commun.
Book Synopsis Un certain Bertrand Du Guesclin by : François Farley
Download or read book Un certain Bertrand Du Guesclin written by François Farley and published by . This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Qu'advint-il de la France après Les Rois Maudits? Ce fut Le Siècle de Guerre... Voici racontée la Guerre de Cent ans, non pas comme une longue succession de batailles et de traités, mais comme un immense récit dramatique peuplé de personnages à la fois naïfs et brutaux, ayant peine à contraindre leur sauvagerie naturelle, malaxés entre les règles que la religion tente de leur imposer et des pulsions restées barbares. Quelle fabuleuse galerie de personnages! Philippe VI, le roi trouvé, Jean le Bon que l'on dit Bon parce qu'on le supposait brave; Bertrand du Guesclin, cet obscur chevalier breton de toute petite noblesse, Jeanne de Bourgogne, reine de France méchante et cruelle; Charles le Mauvais, roi de Navarre qui n'usurpait pas son surnom, Edouard III d'Angleterre, assoiffé de grandeur et de butin. Ce sont là les premiers protagonistes de cette guerre sans fin, ceux qui l'ont souhaitée et nourrie. Ecrivant l'Histoire comme un roman, brossant des portraits au réalisme saisissant, Francis Farley raconte magistralement l'histoire de ceux qui ont fait cette guerre. Il a voulu les rendre vivants et chercher leur humanité derrière la démesure. Un pari réussi puisqu'il nous livre un récit captivant, rempli de passions et de drames. Une grande saga qui fait aimer l'Histoire.

Des portraits inspirants et accessibles au plus grand nombre, que l’on soit passionné d’histoire ou simplement curieux d’esprit.

Download or read book The Medieval Chronicle II written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the success of the first international conference on the medieval chronicle, it was decided that another would be in place. It was held in the summer of 1999, and again drew some 150 participants. There are several reasons why the chronicle is particularly suited as the topic of an international conference. In the first place there is its ubiquity: all over Europe and throughout the Middle Ages chronicles were written, both in Latin and in the vernacular, and not only in Europe but also in the countries neighbouring on it, like those of the Arabic world. Secondly, all chronicles raise such questions as by whom, for whom, or for what purpose were they written, how do they reconstruct the past, what determined the choice of verse or prose, or what kind of literary influences are discernable in them. Finally, many chronicles have been beautifully illuminated, and the relation between text and image leads to a wholly different set of questions. Like its predecessor this volume of conference papers aims to provide a representative survey of the on-going research in the field of chronicle studies, illustrated by examples from specific chronicles from a wide variety of countries, periods and cultural backgrounds. They are introduced by the opening address by David Dumville, on the question What is a chronicle?
Book Synopsis A Soldiers' Chronicle of the Hundred Years War by : Anne Curry
Download or read book A Soldiers' Chronicle of the Hundred Years War written by Anne Curry and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2022 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable and very important unpublished chronicle written by two soldiers, covering in detail the English campaigns in France from 1415 to 1429. It lists many individuals who served in the war, and was written specifically for Sir John Fastolf, the English commander.This previously unpublished chronicle from the mid-fifteenth century covers the English wars in France from 1415 to 1429. It is highly unusual in that it was written by two soldiers, Peter Basset and Christopher Hanson. William Worcester, secretary to the English commander Sir John Fastolf, also had a hand in it, and it was specifically written for Sir John. The content is unusual, as it includes many lists of individuals serving in the war, and records their presence at battles, naming more than 700 in all. Over half these individuals are French or Scottish, so it would seem that the authors had a particularly detailed knowledge of French military participation. The narrative is important for the English campaigns in Maine in the 1420s in which Fastolf was heavily involved and which otherwise receive little attention in chronicles written on either side of the Channel. The progress of the war is well mapped, with around 230 place names mentioned.The chronicle was extensively used in the sixteenth century by several heralds and by Edward Hall. As a result, it had an influence on Shakespeare. The death of the earl of Salisbury at Orleans in ''Henry VI Part I'' Follows the chronicle closely. The ''Mirror for Magistrates'' Salisbury narrative is also derived from the chronicle. Another point of interest is that the chronicle is by a scribe who can be identified, and proves to be the only known fifteenth-century account of the war written in England in French, which adds an important linguistic dimension to its study.ch Fastolf was heavily involved and which otherwise receive little attention in chronicles written on either side of the Channel.

Book Synopsis The Jacquerie of 1358 by : Justine Firnhaber-Baker
Download or read book The Jacquerie of 1358 written by Justine Firnhaber-Baker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-28 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jacquerie of 1358 is one of the most famous and mysterious peasant uprisings of the Middle Ages. Beginning in a small village but eventually overrunning most of northern France, the Jacquerie rebels destroyed noble castles and killed dozens of noblemen before being put down in a bloody wave of suppression. The revolt occurred in the wake of the Black Death and during the Hundred Years War, and it was closely connected to a rebellion in Paris against the French crown. The Jacquerie of 1358 resolves long-standing controversies about whether the revolt was just an irrational explosion of peasant hatred or simply an extension of the Parisian revolt. It shows that these opposing conclusions are based on the illusory assumption that the revolt was a united movement with a single goal. In fact, the Jacquerie has to be understood as a constellation of many events that evolved over time. It involved thousands of people, who understood what they were doing in different and changing ways. The story of the Jacquerie is about how individuals and communities navigated their specific political, social, and military dilemmas, how they reacted to events as they unfolded, and how they chose to remember (or to forget) in its aftermath. The Jacquerie of 1358 rewrites the narrative of this tumultuous period and gives special attention to how violence and social relationships were harnessed to mobilize popular rebellion.
Book Synopsis Agrarian Change and Crisis in Europe, 1200-1500 by : Harilaos Kitsikopoulos
Download or read book Agrarian Change and Crisis in Europe, 1200-1500 written by Harilaos Kitsikopoulos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agrarian Change and Crisis in Europe, 1200-1500 addresses one of the classic subjects on economic history: the process of aggregate economic growth and the crisis that engulfed the European continent during the late Middle Ages. This was not an ordinary crisis. During the period 1200-1500, Europe witnessed endemic episodes of famine and a wave of plague epidemics that amounted to one of its worst health crises, rivaled only by the Justinian plague in the sixth century. These challenges called into question the production of goods and services and the distribution of wealth, opening the possibility of fundamental systemic change. This book offers an empirical synthesis on a host of economic, demographic, and technological developments which characterized the period 1200-1500. It covers virtually the entire continent and places equal emphasis both on providing a solid factual framework and comparing and contrasting various theoretical interpretations. The broad geographical and conceptual scope of the book renders it indispensable not only for undergraduate students who take courses relating to the economic and social life of the Middle Ages but also to more advanced scholars who often specialize in only one country or region.
Book Synopsis Subversive Intent by : Susan Rubin Suleiman
Download or read book Subversive Intent written by Susan Rubin Suleiman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this important new book, Susan Suleiman lays the foundation for a postmodern feminist poetics and theory of the avant-garde. She shows how the figure of Woman, as fantasy, myth, or metaphor, has functioned in the work of male avant-garde writers and artists of this century. Focusing also on women's avant-garde artistic practices, Suleiman demonstrates how to read difficult modern works in a way that reveals their political as well as their aesthetic impact. Suleiman directly addresses the subversive intent of avant-garde movements from Surrealism to postmodernism. Through her detailed readings of provocatively transgressive works by André Breton, Georges Bataille, Roland Barthes, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, and others, Suleiman demonstrates the central role of the female body in the male erotic imagination and illuminates the extent to which masculinist assumptions have influenced modern art and theory. By examining the work of contemporary women avantgarde artists and theorists--including Hélène Cixous, Marguerite Duras, Monique Wittig, Luce Irigaray, Angela Carter, Jeanette Winterson, Leonora Carrington, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer, and Cindy Sherman--Suleiman shows the political power of feminist critiques of patriarchal ideology, and especially emphasizes the power of feminist humor and parody. Central to Suleiman's revisionary theory of the avant-garde is the figure of the playful, laughing mother. True to the radically irreverent spirit of the historical avant-gardes and their postmodernist successors, Suleiman's laughing mother embodies the need for a link between symbolic innovation and political and social change.
