Aus dem Klappentext: Why did Charles Edward Stuart become one of the great romantic figures of history, a familiar name even to those who know nothing of his curious career? His ambitious project was frustrated, his accomplishment nil. The whole adventure lasted fourteen months from 1745 to 1746, and was followed by forty years of restless exile and degeneration, during which Charles wandered from one Continental place of exile to another. He is the prime example of the hero of a lost cause, a personality virtually created by Scottish nostalgia for a kingdom that had vanished, for a past that had been romanticized, for a leader to re-establish a nationalist sense of identity, unity and power. Professor Daiches has brushed away the dust of the waxwork figure that is usually represented as Bonnie Prince Charlie, and writes of the real person within the context of his times and character. He also makes clear how the Charles Edward of history became the Bonnie Prince Charlie of legend and folk memory. Since this biography is based almost entirely on contemporary sources, Charles emerges directly from eighteenth-century Europe, with all its political and dynastic intrigue. This approach provides entirely new insights into familiar and unfamiliar events, and explains the irresistible and unwavering appeal that Charles has exerted so widely and for such a long time. David Daiches, Professor of English at the University of Sussex, has produced a distinguished biography which will also serve as the standard work on the period, and its significance in Scottish history, for many years to come. - Prince Charles Edward Louis John Casimir Sylvester Maria Stuart (31 December 1720 - 31 January 1788) commonly known as Bonnie Prince Charlie or The Young Pretender was the second Jacobite pretender to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland. This claim was as the eldest son of James Francis Edward Stuart, and grandson of James II and VII. Charles is perhaps best known as the instigator of the unsuccessful Jacobite uprising of 1745, in which he led an insurrection which ended in defeat at the Battle of Culloden that effectively ended the Jacobite cause. Charles's flight from Scotland after the uprising has rendered him a romantic figure of heroic failure in later representations.[2][3] ... Aus: wikipedia-Charles_Edward_Stuart

Großbrittanien Schottland Stuart. - Romeyn de Hooghe: Paye qui Tombe. Die erste vale betaelt de Speelman, die laest, de Kosten. Kupferstich mit Untertitel. Amsterdam, J. van Egmont ohne Jahr [um 1740.] Etwa 39 : 42 cm / 61 : 47 cm (Plattenrand / Blattgröße. ; weicher Einband / soft cover
Der satirische Einblattdruck "[...] Paye qui Tombe , (Whoever falls off, pays) depicts a fairground tent in which competitors attempt in turn to dance along a slack rope. There is a discreet number attached to every figure, with a trilingual key. A thesis could be written on this print alone. The Young Pretender (Charles Edward) has just lost his balance, while the Emperor awaits his turn. France and Holland stand by as musicians, while the Old Pretender is peeping anxiously over the hangings of the fairground tent - thus subtly implying that he has not been prepared (or able) to pay the price of admission." (Satirical Prints, Pamphlets and Polemics. Aberdeen, University o. J. [um 2005], S. 5. Beschreibung zu einem Exemplar aus der MacBean Collection) . - Charles Edward Stuart (1720-1788) beanspruchte die Thronnachfolge in Großbrittanien. Aus seinem franz. Exil plante er die Invasion der brit. Insel. Dieses Vorhaben misslang schlussendlich. Nach abenteuerlicher Flucht durch die schottischen Hochlande gelangte er zurück auf das europ. Festland. Seine Gegner nannten ihn "The Young Pretender" im Gegensatz zu seinem Vater, dem "Old Pretender". Seine Anhänger bevorzugten die Bezeichnung King Charles III. oder liebevoll, scherzhaft "Bonnie Prince Charlie". - Es gibt frühere Versionen des Blattes und diese beziehen sich auf den Großvater von Charles Edward Stuart, James II., der hier vom Seil fällt, während Louis XIV. einen Versuch unternimmt, das Seil zu betreten, beobachtet von William III. (cf. Online Archive of California, OAC). - Romeyn de Hooghe, auf dessen Zeichnung die hier vorliegende Karikatur zurück geht, "war nicht nur der erste politische Ikonograph großen Stiles in Holland, sondern auch sein erster großer politischer Karikaturist. Durch seine satir. Darstellungen, hat er den furchtbaren Gegener Hollands, Ludwig XIV., (u. dessen Stuartschen Bundesgenossen, den Prätendenten u. dessen kathol. Anhang) [...] erfolgreich bekämpft [...]. H. ist der wichtigste u. glänzendste Vertreter des holländ. Spätbarocks [...]" (Thieme/Becker 17, 460). - Knickfalten, Ränder etwas ausgefranst und leicht angestaubt. Guter Erhaltungszustand dieses Einblattdruckes, gratiger, kontrastreicher Druck.

8 Bücher zum romantischen König Edward VIII von England (1894-1972), der 1936 wegen seiner Liebe zur US-Amerikanerin Wallis Simpson als König zurücktrat. Dazu noch 2 Titel zur gegenwärtigen Queen Elizabeth II von England. Alles Biographien, teils in deutscher, teils in englischer Sprache. Die Bücher entstammen dem Nachlass eines fanatischen Sammlers. Er kaufte die Titel zumeist in Antiquariaten. Zustand also meistens mit den üblichen Gebrauchsspuren, Besitzervermerke, berieben, partiell fleckig u.ä.- hässliche Mängel wie Anstreichungen sind unten angegeben. Teils auch schön erhalten. 4 Taschenbücher, der Rest gebunden. Siehe Bild. The books were part of the estate of a fanatic book-collector. He bought most of them used at antiquarian bookshops. Conditions vary from ok to fine, see picture. Bemerkenswert erscheint hier, daß der jetzige Prince Charles seine bürgerliche Jugendliebe Camilla ehelichen durfte, ohne daß dies zu ähnlichen Komplikationen geführt hätte, wie sie Eduard VIII noch erdulden musste. Möglich ist allerdings, daß sich die Geschichte wiederholen wird, und Charles freiwillig auf den Thron verzichten und diesen an seinen ältesten Sohn abgeben wird - wenn Elizabeth begraben ist. Edward VIII und Wallis Simpson: - Bloch, M.: The secret file of the Duke of Windsor (Bantam 1988, 326 St.); - Brody, Iles: Gone with the Windsors (Winston 1953, 328 St.); - Eines Königs Geschichte, die Memoiren des Herzogs von Windsor (Blanvalet um 1965, 520 St., zahlreiche Stempel); - Bocca, G.: Die Frau, die Königin werden wollte, das Leben der Herzogin von Windsor (Orell Füssli 1966, 262 St.); - Donaldson, F.: Edward VIII (Ballantine 1976, 624 St.); - Martin, R.: The woman he loved, the story of the Duke & Duchess of Windsor (Signet 1975, 516 St., 2x); - Bryan und Murphy: The Windsor Story (Dell 1981, 718 St., beschädigt).
