Cloth with dustjacket. Zustand: Gut. 416 p./ 544 p./ 576 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - vol.I slightly rubbed and scuffed otherwise perfect condition, vol.II + III. very good condition - In this, the first book in his epic t…wo-volume history, Simon Schama brings Britains past to dramatic life with a wealth of compelling stories and vivid detail. Gripping and unapologetically personal, Schamas perspective moves from the early tribes and invasions of the British isles to the Norman Conquest; through the religious wars and turbulence of the Middle Ages to the sovereignties of Henry II, Richard I and King John; through the outbreak of the Black Death, which destroyed nearly half of Europes population; through the reign of Edward I and the growth of national identity in Scotland and Wales; to the turbulent religious and dynastic conflicts of the Tudor Age, culminating in the glorious reign of Elizabeth I. -- As the narrative unfolds, the theme of change sometimes gentle and subtle, sometimes shocking and violentemerges as its most powerful dynamic. Schama is particularly acute in showing the changes that wash over custom and habit, transforming loyalties and establishing or melting boundaries. At the heart of his history lie questions which have universal and timeless resonance: What makes or breaks a nation? To whom do we give our allegiance and why? And where do the roots of our community liein our hearth and home, our village or city, tribe or faith? And what is Britainone country or many, one culture or several? -- All these themes are delivered through the stories which Schama tells so brilliantly, and in a form that is at once traditional and excitingly new. The great and the wicked are hereBoudicca, Queen of the Iceni, and William the Conqueror; Becket and Thomas Cromwell; Robert the Bruce and Anne Boleyn; King Alfred and Mary, Queen of Scotsbut so are countless more ordinary lives: an Irish monk waiting for the plague to reach him in his cell at Kilkenny; a small boy running through the streets of Elizabethan London to catch a glimpse of his Queen. They are all caught on the rich and teeming canvas on which Schama paints his unforgettable portrait of the life of a great nation. Superbly readable, Schamas A History of Britain is destined to become a touchstone work for our time, reintroducing us to the past with dazzling energy and clarity. -- INSIDE THESE PAGES LIES THE BLOODY EPIC OF LIBERTY, THE BRITISH ILIAD. -- The second volume of Simon Schamas A History of Britain brings the histories of Britains civil warsfull of blighted idealism, shocking carnage, and unexpected outcomesstartlingly to life. These conflicts were fought unsparingly between the nations of the islandsIreland, England, and Scotlandand between parliament and the crown. Shattering the illusion of a united kingdom, they cost hundreds of thousands of lives: a greater proportion of the population than died in the First World War. -- When religious passion gave way to the equally consuming passion for profits, it became possible for the pieces of Britain to come together as the spectacularly successful business enterprise of Britannia Incorporated. And in a few generations that business state expanded in a dizzying process that transformed what had been an obscure, off-shore footnote to Europes great powers into the main eventthe most powerful empire in the world. -- Yet somehow, it was the wrong empire. The British considered it a bastion of liberty, yet it was based on military force and the enslavement of hundreds of thousands of Africans. In America, the emptiness of British claims to protect freedom was thrown back into the teeth of colonial governors and redcoat soldiers, while the likes of Sam Adams and George Washington inherited the mantle of Cromwell. -- Simon Schama grippingly evokes the horror of the battle, famine, and plague; the flames of burning cities; the pathos of broken families, with fathers and sons forced to choose opposing sides. But he al captures the intimacies of palace and parliament ar the seductions of profit and pleasure. Geniuses li] John Milton, Thomas Hobbes, and Benjamin Frankl stalk vividly through his pages, but so do Scotti: clansmen, women pamphleteers, and literate, eloque African slaves like Olaudah Equiano. -- WHILE BRITAIN WAS LOSING AN EMPIRE, IT WAS FINDING ITSELF. -- The compelling opening words to The Fate of Empire set the tone and agenda for the final stage of Simon Schamas epic voyage around Britain, her people and past. Spanning two centuries, crossing the breadth of the empire, and covering a vast expanse of topics from the birth of feminism to the fate of freedom he explores the forces that shaped British culture and character, from 1776 to 2000. -- The story opens on the eve of a bloody revolution, but not a British one. The French Revolution never actually crossed the Channel, though its spirit of fiery defiance and Romantic idealism did, sparking off a round of radical revolts and reforms that gathered momentum over the coming centuryfrom the Irish Rebellion to the Chartist Petition. If the British Empire helped to make Britain stable and rich, did it live up to its promise to help the ruled as well as the rulers? The Fate of Empire makes stops at celebrations, like the Great Exhibition, and catastrophes, like the Irish potato famine and the Indian Mutiny. Amidst the military and economic shocks and traumas of the twentieth century, and through the voices of Churchill, Orwell, and H.G. Wells, Schama asks the question that still haunts the Britishis the immense weight of British history a blessing or a curse or a millstone around the neck of the future? -- The Fate of Empire is a vast compelling epic, made more so by the lively storytelling and big bold characters at the heart of the action. But alongside flamboyant heroes, like Nelson and Churchill, Schama recalls unsung heroines, like the Crimean.
