Book excerpt: 'What had happened to the lost manuscripts, what train of chances took Rolfe to his death in Venice? The Quest continued' One summer afternoon A.J.A. Symons is handed a peculiar, eccentric novel that he cannot forget and, captivated by this unknown masterpiece, determines to learn everything he can about its mysterious author. The object of his search is Frederick Rolfe, self-titled Baron Corvo - artist, rejected candidate for priesthood and author of serially autobiographical fictions - and its story is told in this 'experiment in biography': a beguiling portrait of an insoluble tangle of talents, frustrated ambitions and self-destruction.

Download or read book Mussolini's Italy written by R. J. B. Bosworth and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2007-01-30 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Mussolini ’s Italy, R.J.B. Bosworth—the foremost scholar on the subject writing in English—vividly brings to life the period in which Italians participated in one of the twentieth century’s most notorious political experiments. Il Duce’s Fascists were the original totalitarians, espousing a cult of violence and obedience that inspired many other dictatorships, Hitler’s first among them. But as Bosworth reveals, many Italians resisted its ideology, finding ways, ingenious and varied, to keep Fascism from taking hold as deeply as it did in Germany. A sweeping chronicle of struggle in terrible times, this is the definitive account of Italy’s darkest hour.

Download or read book The Mediterranean Passion written by John Pemble and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1987 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1830 to 1914, journeys to the Mediterranean became part of the British way of life--and the British way of death. The Mediterranean Passion shows how a revolution in transportation enabled the British middle classes to follow the aristocracy to the South in pursuit of culture, health, pleasure, and spiritual inspiration. It carefully describes how the British traveled, where they went, how their attitudes shaped their experiences, and how their experiences shaped their attitudes. Exploring the medical, religious, sexual, and aesthetic dimensions of their journeys, the book also exposes the tension between the world that they discovered and the world that they created.

Download or read book In Search of Italy written by William M. Johnston and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book in any language to digest what foreign writers have had to say about the cities of Northern Italy. French, German, and English writers, adoring Italy, have always lavished praise upon it, yet no one has ever compared what they said about the places they visited. Now, here is presented the best insights of major and minor writers since 1800, the time of the French occupation of Italy when the new crop of travelers arrived to take in the sights, smells, and tastes of this land. Passages from familiar writers are collated, but this book emphasizes those writers who are less familiar, showing that much of the finest writing about Italy comes from authors now totally forgotten. Not only are the sources of the book original, but each discussion sheds new light on the cities described. To look at Verona, for example, in the light of the German presence there is as fresh as to look at Parma in the light of French responses to Stendhal's The Charterhouse of Parma. A new vision of the cultural history of each city emerges. The history of taste also gets its due. The book assembles reactions to monuments as varied as The Last Supper, Donatello's bronzes in Padua, and the mosaics of Ravenna.

Download or read book Nationalism written by R.J.B Bosworth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-02 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do many of us swell with pride at the sound of the national anthem or sight of the national flag? Why do we use our nationalities to describe who we are? Why do politicians claim to stand for ‘national values’ above all else? In his new critical study of nationalism, R.J.B. Bosworth explores the origins and purpose of the division of human kind into national groupings. The book explores the history of nationalism, arguing that the present is seeing a dangerous growth of what might be called 'national fundamentalism'. Bosworth suggests that nations work best when they possess the ability to criticize their nationalism. They become menacing when they demand the nationalization of people’s empathy, lauding ‘national values’, for example, rather than humane or civilized ones. Nationalism demonstrates how the globalizing world is seeing a renaissance and adaptation of ideas that were prevalent in the inter-war period, and challenges us to decide whether we should reject nationalist fundamentalism in a civilized world.
