Book Synopsis Sir Jerome Horsey’s Travels and Adventures in Russia and Eastern Europe by : John Anthony Butler
Download or read book Sir Jerome Horsey’s Travels and Adventures in Russia and Eastern Europe written by John Anthony Butler and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-29 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume details Sir Jerome Horsey’s account of his experiences in Russia and other countries. Horsey, who spent the better part of seventeen years in the country until leaving in 1591, was an employee of the Muscovy Company, but also operated as an unofficial ambassador for both the English and Russian governments. He was personally acquainted with such people as Ivan the Terrible, Tsar Fyodor I and Boris Godunov, and gives lively and interesting accounts of his interactions with them, as well as with many other prominent people, both Russian and English. Horsey has been accused of exaggeration, chicanery and self-advertisement, but his account is by far the most readable and enjoyable of the many books written by English people sojourning in Russia. It has been published only twice, both times in conjunction with Giles Fletcher’s contemporary and more “professional” account of the Russian state; this edition, with a full introduction and extensive notes, is the first to present Horsey’s book on its own. It is a travel-book, an adventure story and an autobiography of a controversial and significant figure.
Book Synopsis Moralizing the Italian Marvellous in Early Modern England by : Beatrice Fuga
Download or read book Moralizing the Italian Marvellous in Early Modern England written by Beatrice Fuga and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-08 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume breaks new ground in the exploration of Anglo-Italian cultural relations: it presents analyses of a wide range of early modern Italian texts adapted into contemporary English culture, often through intermediary French translations. When transposed into English, their Italian origin was frequently categorized as marvellous and consequently censured because of its strangeness: thus, English translators often gave their public a moralized and tamed version of Italy’s uniqueness. This volume’s contributors show that an effective way of moralizing Italian custom was to exoticize its origins, in order to protect the English public from an Italianate influence. This ubiquitous moralization is visible in the evolution of the concept of tragedy, and in the overtly educational aim acquired by the Italian novella, adapted for an allegedly female audience. Through the analysis of various literary genres (novella, epic poem, play, essay), the volume focuses on the mechanisms of appropriation and rejection of Italian culture through imported topoi and narremes.

Download or read book Charting an Empire written by Lesley B. Cormack and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1997-12-08 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cormack demonstrates that geography was part of the Arts curriculum between 1580 and 1620, read at university by a broad range of soon-to-be political, economic, and religious leaders. By teaching these young Englishmen to view their country in a global context, and to see England playing a major role on that stage, geography helped develop a set of shared assumptions about the feasibility and desirability of an English empire.
