  • 騎士與他們的時代

    Knights and their days

    de John Doran, 約翰·多蘭 ...
    本書透過一系列關於騎士制度的隨筆，細緻勾勒出中世紀貴族階層的生活圖景。作者約翰·多蘭以冷靜的編輯觀點，審視了騎士精神在宗教、戰爭與宮廷文化中的具體實踐。從騎士的受封儀式、戰場上的榮譽規範，到這些英雄敘事如何轉化為後世的傳奇，書中收錄的篇章呈現了騎士生活的多重面向，既有嚴肅的制度探討，亦不乏歷史逸聞的穿插。本書適合對歐洲中世紀史、文化社會學以及英雄史詩原型感興趣的讀者。透過本書，讀者得以卸下浪漫化的文學濾鏡，看見真實歷史背景下，騎士作為一種社會階級的興衰與變遷，以及其所承載的文化價值如何影響了後世的道德體系。 ... Leer más

  • In and About Drury Lane and Other Papers Reprinted from the Pages of the Temple Bar Magazine (Complete)

    de Dr. John Doran ...
    In the afternoon of ‘Boxing-day,’ 1865, I had to pass through Drury Lane, and some of the worst of the ‘slums’ which find vent therein. There was a general movement in the place, and the effect was not savoury. There was a going to-and-fro of groups of people, and there was nothing picturesque in them; assemblings of children, but alas! nothing lovable in them. It was a universal holiday, yet its ...

  • A Lady of the Last Century

    de Dr. John Doran ...
    Elizabeth Robinson, who became so well known, subsequently, as Mrs. Montagu, belongs altogether to the eighteenth century. She was born at York, in October, 1720. She died in the last year of that century, 1800. Miss Robinson was of a family, the founder of which, William Robinson, a London merchant, but a descendant of a line of Scottish barons, bought, in 1610, the estate of Rokeby, in Yorkshire ...

  • Lives of the Queens of England of the House of Hanover (Complete)

    de Dr. John Doran ...
    When George I. ascended the throne of England, the heralds provided him with an ancestry. They pretended that his Majesty, who had few god-like virtues of his own, was descended from that deified hero Woden, whose virtues, according to the bards, were all of a god-like quality. The two had little in common, save lack of true-heartedness toward their wives. The more modest builders of ancestral ... Leer más

  • Memoir of Queen Adelaide, Consort of King William IV.

    de Dr. John Doran ...
    THE little Duchy of Saxe-Meinengen was once a portion of the inheritance of the princely Franconian house of Henneberg. The failure of the male line transferred it, in 1583, to the family of reigning Saxon princes. In 1680, it fell to the third son of the Saxon Duke, Ernest the Pious. The name of this son was Bernard. This Duke is looked upon as the founder of the House of Meinengen. He was much ... Leer más

  • The History of Court Fools

    de Dr. John Doran ...
    In the days of old, it happened that all Olympus was dull, and Zeus complained, yawning the while, that there was not a fool amongst the gods, with wit enough to keep the divine assembly alive, or to kill the members of it with laughter. “Father,” said Mercury, “the sport that is lacking here, may be found for us all, on earth. Look at that broad tract of land between the Peneus and Aliacmon. It ... Leer más

  • Their Majesties' Servants. Annals of the English Stage (Complete)

    de Dr. John Doran ...
    It is unnecessary to apologise for a new edition of Dr. Doran's Annals of the Stage. The two editions already published have been for many years out of print, and the first is so rare that copies of it bring a high price whenever they occur for sale. And this demand is not a mere bibliographical accident, for the book has held for many years a recognised position as the standard popular history of ... Leer más

  • London in the Jacobite Times (Complete)

    de Dr. John Doran ...
    On the last morning of Queen Anne’s life, a man, deep in thought, was slowly crossing Smithfield. The eyes of a clergyman passing in a carriage were bent upon him. The carriage stopped, the wayfarer looked up, and the two men knew each other. The one on foot was the dissenting preacher, whom Queen Anne used to call ‘bold Bradbury.’ The other was Bishop Burnet. ‘On what were you so deeply thinking? ... Leer más

  • Knights and their Days

    de John Doran ...
    The lords and chivalric gentlemen who fared so well and fought so stoutly, were not always of the gentlest humor at home. It has been observed that Piedmontese society long bore traces of the chivalric age. An exemplification is afforded us in Gallenga’s History of Piedmont. It will serve to show how absolute a master a powerful knight and noble was in his own house. Thus, from Gallenga we learn ... Leer más

    The World vs the City

    Edición de John Doran, Damian J. Smith ...
    Series series Church, Faith and Culture in the Medieval West
    The pontificate of Innocent II (1130-1143) has long been recognized as a watershed in the history of the papacy, marking the transition from the age of reform to the so-called papal monarchy, when an earlier generation of idealistic reformers gave way to hard-headed pragmatists intent on securing worldly power for the Church. Whilst such a conception may be a cliché its effect has been to ... Leer más
