Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from George Buchanan, Humanist and Reformer: A Biography William Hamilton and Mr. James Hannay but there is now a special reason for the work they contem plated. Of the seventy-six years of Buchanan's life, more than thirty were spent abroad and this period of his career has hitherto been all but an entire blank. Recent histories, however, of the very institutions with which, during those years, Buchanan was mainly connected, bring vividly before us the world in which he moved, as well as the aims and interests of men of his type during the sixteenth century. Read in the light of this fresh knowledge, his writings acquire an entirely new interest and significance as the expression of his character and genius.

Book Synopsis George Buchanan by : Caroline Erskine
Download or read book George Buchanan written by Caroline Erskine and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Buchanan (1506-82) was the most distinguished Scottish humanist of the sixteenth century with an unparalleled contemporary reputation as a Latin poet, playwright, historian and political theorist. However, while his contemporary importance as the scourge of Mary Queen of Scots and advocate of popular rebellion has long been recognised, this volume represents the first attempt to explore the subsequent influence of his ideas and his contested reputation as a political ideologue and cultural icon. Featuring a wide-ranging selection of essays by an international cast of established and younger scholars, the volume explores Buchanan's legacy as an historian and political theorist in Britain and Europe in the two centuries following his death, with particular emphasis on the reception of his remarkably radical views on popular sovereignty and political assassination. Divided into four parts, the volume covers the immediate impact and reception of his writings in sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Britain; the wider Northern European context in which his thought was influential; the engagement with his political ideas in the course of the seventeenth-century British constitutional struggles; and the influence of his ideas as well as the changing nature of his reputation through the eighteenth century and beyond. The introduction to the volume not only reviews the material in the body of the collection, but also reflects on the use and abuse of Buchanan's ideas in the early modern period and the methodological issues of influence and reputation raised by the contributors. Such a reassessment of Buchanan and his legacy is long overdue and this volume will be welcomed by all scholars with an interest in the political and cultural history of early modern Britain and Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "George Buchanan," authored by way of John Campbell Smith and Robert Wallace, offers a complete exploration of the life and legacy of one of Scotland's maximum eminent students and humanists, George Buchanan. Through meticulous studies and scholarly evaluation, Smith and Wallace offer an in depth account of Buchanan's multifaceted contributions to literature, education, and politics in the course of the Renaissance length. The biography delves into Buchanan's childhood, his schooling, and his emergence as an outstanding parent in Scottish highbrow circles. It examines his prolific literary output, which encompassed works of poetry, history, and political idea, and his function as a pioneering educator at leading European universities. Furthermore, the authors delve into Buchanan's political activism and his involvement inside the turbulent political panorama of sixteenth-century Scotland. They explore his complicated courting with figures along with Mary, Queen of Scots, and his influential role in shaping political discourse at some stage in this tumultuous duration. Through their thorough examination of number one assets and ancient facts, Smith and Wallace offer readers a nuanced know-how of Buchanan's enduring importance in Scottish history and his broader impact on European humanism. "George Buchanan" stands as a definitive biography, illuminating the existence and achievements of a towering figure in Renaissance scholarship and political concept.
Book Synopsis George Buchanan by : John Campbell Smith
Download or read book George Buchanan written by John Campbell Smith and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the 21st July 1683, Lord William Russell was beheaded in Lincoln’s Inn Fields, because Charles II., F.D., who never said a foolish thing, and never did a wise one, thought it would help to keep alive the Stuart doctrine of the Divine right of kings. On the same day, the political writings of George Buchanan and one John Milton were, by decree of the learned and loyal University of Oxford, publicly burned in front of their Schools by the common hangman, because they were regarded as the most formidable and dangerous defences of the principles on account of which it had been considered judicious to kill Lord William Russell, and perhaps also in token that if Buchanan and Milton had not been dead they might have been burned too, along with their books. It is comforting to reflect that this same decree was subsequently burned with the same publicity—and by the same common hangman, one would hope. At the time, however, the Oxford transaction, in view of the sycophancy, obscurantism, and other degrading characteristics of the then University, was the highest compliment that could have been paid to Buchanan and Milton, and especially to Buchanan. For Buchanan was substantially a century before Milton, who, like the rest of the Roundheads, was inspired by Buchanan’s principles and greatly assisted by his arguments. Dryden, indeed, declared that Milton stole his Defence of the People of England from Buchanan’s De Jure Regni apud Scotos; but that was only ‘Glorious John’s’ inglorious way of making himself controversially disagreeable. Milton put his own genius and experience into Buchanan’s idea, and produced an essentially original work. But what although he had not? Milton was fighting a great battle, and was entitled, or rather bound, to use the best weapons, wherever he could get them. The anti-plagiarising spirit is often a mere form of vanity. If the Royal Artillery declined to plagiarise from Armstrong and Krupp, and insisted on making all their ammunition themselves, I should tremble for the defence of the country. Not the less, however, does Buchanan amply merit the title of ‘Father of Liberalism,’ since the principles which he successfully floated in unpropitious times undoubtedly produced the two great English, the American, and the first French Revolutions, with all their continuations and consequences. Let it be noted that the distinction which Buchanan achieved in this matter was not merely that of the political philosopher and thinker. The publication of the De Jure, at the time and under the circumstances in which it appeared, was a blow of the utmost consequence, delivered in the great politico-theological struggle with which he was contemporary. It was like one of Knox’s famous sermons, which were not mere religious meditations, but political events of the most immense influence, present and future. The Reformation, particularly in Scotland, was, in its inception and establishment, a political, quite as much as a religious revolution, of which Buchanan was not simply an interested but recluse critic and dilettante spectator. He thought profoundly about what he saw going on, but he also threw his thoughts into the fight that was raging round him, with bombshell results, and the effects of what he thought and did upon the fortunes of the great struggle for popular liberty against usurping ascendency—a struggle not even yet concluded—prove him to have possessed qualities of far-sightedness and statesmanship of the highest order.
