Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Genealogies of medieval Highland and Island Scotland scrutinize pedigrees claimed by clans, testing authenticity against Gaelic, Norse names, and saga-derived traditions to reveal politics, society, and propaganda.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.…

From the papers of theatre historian Walter James Macqueen-Pope (1888-1960). (See his entry in the Oxford DNB.) The three items are in fair condition, lightly aged and worn. Her two letters are pinned together. The letter to Kerby has the large and firm signature 'Suzette Tarri'; the letter to Horsfield is evidently signed 'Suzette Terri' on her behalf by her husband. ONE (ST to P. W. Kerby): 23 January 1944. Letterhead of '"Suda" / 25 Manor Drive, Southgate, N. 14' ('SUZETTE TARRI / RADIO COMEDIENNE / WITH / DAVID JENKINS / THE POPULAR PIANIST-VOCALIST'). 1p, 4to. 'I am afraid my difficulty is not in trying to book so far ahead as May, but in the fact that I am already booked on the Music-Halls till next December. 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. The time element is too risky, and I should not take a chance of letting the show down.' Signed on her behalf by her husband. THREE (Jenkins to MP): 23 June 1950. 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 is enclosing the photo 'in triplicate (up-to-date phraseology!)', and is also 'sending you a programme to let you see that this particular picture reproduces well'. (Neither item is present.) He continues: 'We have opened well here to three full houses on our first three nights. In June, too! It augurs well.'.…
