Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book brings together the major writings of David Sellar (1941-2019) on the genealogies (pedigrees) claimed by some of the major clans of medieval Highland and Island Scotland, especially the descendants of their twelfth-century king Somerled.The claimed pedigrees in the medieval Gaelic 1467 manuscript and the Irish genealogies are critically analysed in relation to each other, and their historical authenticity tested against other evidence, including the Gaelic or Norse quality of their recorded names. Contemporary literary material is considered alongside later recorded traditions descending from the seanchaidh, whose work was to hand down to posterity the valorous actions, conquests, battles, skirmishes, marriages and relations of the chiefly ancestors by relating and singing them at births, baptisms, marriages, inaugurations, feasts and funerals. The family pedigrees offer crucial insights into the nature of medieval society, supporting and sometimes explaining a family's socio-political position. As an exercise in propaganda, a pedigree was susceptible to fabrication and not to be trusted uncritically.David Sellar's meticulous analysis reveals the social and political realities of medieval Celtic Scotland, making use of heraldic evidence as well as his legal expertise, in a fluent and reader-friendly style.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The protagonists of the ancient novels wandered or were carried off to distant lands, from Italy in the west to Persia in the east and Ethiopia in the south; the authors themselves came, or pretended to come, from remote places such as Aphrodisia and Phoenicia; and the novelistic form had antecedents in a host of classical genres. These intersections are explored in this volume. Papers in the first section discuss 'mapping the world in the novels.' The second part looks at the dialogical imagination, and the conversation between fiction and history in the novels. Section 3 looks at the way ancient fiction has been transmitted and received. Space, as the locus of cultural interaction and exchange, is the topic of the fourth part. The fifth and final section is devoted to character and emotion, and how these are perceived or constructed in ancient fiction. Overall, a rich picture is offered of the many spatial and cultural dimensions in a variety of ancient fictional genres.

It is practically hopeless for me to accept any more Sunday shows, as I am liable at the last minute to he switched over from one Variety hall to another, under the terms of my contract with George Black's theatres and the Stoll organization.' TWO (ST to 'Mr. Horsfield'): 1p, 8vo. On ruled paper. 'As I shall be in the middle of making a film on SAt., May the 8th., I fear that I cannot accept an engagement on that date.

Another 'Suda' letterhead, this one headed 'SUZETTE TARRI / RADIO COMEDIENNE'. 1p, 4to. Begins: 'My dear Popie, / Suzie is thrilled to hear that you require her photo for your new book.'

He continues: 'We have opened well here to three full houses on our first three nights. In June, too! It augurs well.'.

From the Macqueen-Pope papers. (See his entry in the Oxford DNB.) Interesting London ephemera: the plans for the Refectory Club were clearly ambitious, but there is little to be gleaned about it, and it is unclear whether it even opened.

After you have completed this, we should be grateful if you would forward it to Mr. Nathan for proposal.' Information regarding fees follows. TWO: Illustrated Printed stapled publicity booklet. 7pp, 16mo. With three photographs of interiors (Dining Hall, Lounge and Common Room), together with reproduction of drawing of the Dining Hall on the cover. 'The mediaeval Dining Hall is architecturally unique with its finely vaulted ceiling, supported by columns and pilasters of the utmost delicacy. / Curved wall panels provide the perfect setting for exquisite murals by Miss Anna Zinkeisen. The distinguished artist has captured the atmosphere of the period and portrayed it ith touches of subtle humour and gaiety. [.] The Lounge, pannelled in oak, with rich period furnishings, is a pleasing combination of things old and new. The old has been made to serve again in an unusual, recessed, long bar. / The pine-pannelled Common Room, dominated by a fine old refectory table, is reserved for private dinner parties. [.]' The architect is named as H. Hubbard Ford, the 'Decor' is by Dickeson & French Ltd, and the murals are by 'Miss Anna Zinkeisen'. THREE: Notice, printed in red. 1p, 12mo. Headed 'The Refectory Club. / The Club will be open to Members on and after 3rd May, 1955.' Gives details of opening hours, bar hours and restaurant hours, and of membership fees.
