Download or read book Stuart England written by Blair Worden and published by Oxford : Phaidon. This book was released on 1986 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No king of England had had a more secure or more enviable inheritance than that to which James VI of Scotland succeeded as James I of England on the death of his distant cousin the childless Queen Elizabeth on 24 March 1603. Over the previous century the Tudors had overcome fundamental opposition to their rule and built a durable system of government. The great barionial families which had fought the Wars of the Roses in the later fifteenth century had been tamed or extinguished, and their military followings abolished. By the end of the sixteenth century a high proporation of noble families owed their eminence not to independent bases of power in the regions where their estates lay, but to the favour of the cron, whose policies they implermented in the localities and at whose court they competed for further rewards. In areas where previously the king's writ had at times seemed scarcely to run, especially Wales and the north of England, the royal machinery of justice had first rivalled and then superseded the power of local magnates as a focus of loyalty. By the time of James I's accession the regional rebellions of 1536-69 belonged to the past. -- Introduction.

Book Synopsis Who's who in Victorian Britain by : Roger Ellis
Download or read book Who's who in Victorian Britain written by Roger Ellis and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of an eight-volume series providing short biographies of men and women from Roman to Victorian times, Who's Who in Victorian Britain is concerned with the 'Age of Empire.' Victoria was the first English monarch to see her name given to the period of her reign while she was still alive: it was used as early as 1851. There were enough constant factors through-out the Victorian Age to give coherence to it. With the Royal Navy enforcing the Pax Britannica over much of the world, affording protection to shipping and trade, piracy virtually disappeared. There were large additions to the Empire and the Queen became Empress of India. Britain's statesmen, and the Queen through her family connections with other royal monarchs, sought to hold the balance of power between the conflicting ambitions and shifting fortunes of the other European empires. But at the end of her reign the Boer War introduced a note of uncertainty. Domestically, the period saw an oligarchic constitution being adapted in stages to an industrial society. It was the age when Britain was manufacturer to the world, but at some cost to the working class whose needs were taken up by writers, thinkers and reformers. Into a religious age, the seeds of doubt were sown by Darwin and the new Biblical critics. Each of the 190 short biographical essays places the subject in the context of their age and evokes what was distinctive and interesting about their personality and achievement. The biographies are arranged in a broadly chronological rather than alphabetical sequence so that the reader may easily browse from one contemporary to the next. The index, with its many cross-references, reveals further linkages between contemporaries. Each volume is a portrait of an age, presenting history in a biographical form which complements the conventional approach.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Descendants of the Stuarts: An Unchronicled Page in England's History Neither if we turn to personal memoirs of the royal family,6 where more precision might be expected, is the desired information to be found; for, following in the wake of our national historians, they treat only of the children of the reigning monarchs: nor are they included in the lists of the queens of England, the princesses of England, or the princes of Wales; for in none of these categories do they figure: lastly, with two exceptions, they have never formed the subject of separate biographies so that it would almost seem as if historians with one consent had conspired to sweep their remembrance from off the earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Instant NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY bestseller * * GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER for BEST DEBUT and BEST ROMANCE of 2019 * * BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR* for VOGUE, NPR, VANITY FAIR, and more! * What happens when America's First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales? When his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal. Handsome, charismatic, genius—his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House. There's only one problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince, Henry, across the pond. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex-Henry altercation, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse. Heads of family, state, and other handlers devise a plan for damage control: staging a truce between the two rivals. What at first begins as a fake, Instragramable friendship grows deeper, and more dangerous, than either Alex or Henry could have imagined. Soon Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret romance with a surprisingly unstuffy Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations and begs the question: Can love save the world after all? Where do we find the courage, and the power, to be the people we are meant to be? And how can we learn to let our true colors shine through? Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue proves: true love isn't always diplomatic. "I took this with me wherever I went and stole every second I had to read! Absorbing, hilarious, tender, sexy—this book had everything I crave. I’m jealous of all the readers out there who still get to experience Red, White & Royal Blue for the first time!" - Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners "Red, White & Royal Blue is outrageously fun. It is romantic, sexy, witty, and thrilling. I loved every second." - Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six
