Zustand: Gut. The Penguin History of Britain. 433 p., w/ map and table. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - In very good condition. - No period in British history today retains more resonance and mystery than the sixteenth century. The leading figures of the time have become almost mythical, and the terrors and grandeurs of Tudor Britain form an essential background of even the least historically minded readers. New Worlds, Lost Worlds is a startlingly atmospheric tour de force. Matchlessly well written and authoritative, this book gives its readers a quite remarkable sense of both the atmosphere of a great era and its epochal events. Above all, Susan Brigden sees the key to the Tudor world as religionthe new world of Protestantism and its battle with the old world of uniform Catholicism. This great religious rent in the fabric of English society underlies the savage violence and turbulence of the periodfrom Henry VIII's break with Rome to the overwhelming threat of the Spanish Armada. Full attention too is paid to Ireland and the critical role it played in determining English affairs. / CONTENTS List of Illustrations Preface About Dates and Names Prologue NEW WORLDS, LOST WORLDS i Rather Feared than Loved HENRY VII AND HIS DOMINIONS, 1485-1509 2 Family and Friends RELIGION AND SOCIETY IN EARLY TUDOR ENGLAND 3 Ways to Reform THE CHALLENGE TO THE CHURCH 4 Imperium HENRY VIII AND THE REFORMATION IN ENGLAND, 1509-47 5 Bearing Rule THE GOVERNORS AND THE GOVERNED 6 Rebuilding the Temple THE REIGNS OF EDWARD VI (l 547-53 ) AND MARY I (l 553 8) 7 'Perils many, great and imminent' THE CHALLENGE OF SECURING PEACE, 1558-70 8 Wars of Religion CHURCHES MILITANT IN ENGLAND, IRELAND AND EUROPE, 1570-84 9 The Enterprise of England NEW WORLD VENTURES AND THE COMING OF WAR WITH SPAIN IN THE I580S 10 The Theatre of God's Judgements ELIZABETHAN WORLD VIEWS 11 Court and Camp THE LAST YEARS OF ELIZABETH'S REIGN Epilogue LOST WORLDS, NEW WORLDS Bibliographical Essay Index.

Zustand: Sehr gut. XXXIII, 395 p., maps. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed jacket, allover very good and clean. / Leicht beriebener Umschlag, insgesamt sehr gut und sauber. - "I cannot tune a harp or play a lyre, but I know how to make a small city great." The vision of the soldierstatesman Themistocles set his own small city Athenson a course of greatness when he persuaded his fellow citizens to build a fleet of warships known as triremes, the formidable dynamos at the heart of Athenian history. In Lords of the Sea, John R. Hale, a world-renowned archaeologist and veteran oarsman, tells the story of a forgotten empire and its majestic legacy. For a century and a half, the Athenian mariners and their inspired commanders transformed Athens and created a Golden Age of unparalleled achievement. Thanks to its navy, Athens played a leading role in the Greek struggle for freedom against the invading Persians. After the epic victory at Salamis in 480 b.c., Athenian sea rule was tested in Egypt and the Black Sea, suffered a temporary eclipse in the Peloponnesian War, and finally fell to the Macedonians in 322 b.c. The statesman Pericles, the playwright Sophocles, and the historian Thucydides served as naval commanders. Treacherous allies, broken covenants, daring strategies, and sheer courage all played roles in an epic tale of battle and conquest. A commitment to naval power sparked the revolution that brought into being the world's first radical democracy, as defense of the city shifted from the wealthy cavalry and armored infantry to the common citizens who pulled the oars in the fleet. Seafaring fostered a spirit of free inquiry that found its highest expression in Socrates and Plato. Aristotle classified Athens as "a democracy based on triremes." Maritime wealth financed extravagant religious festivals, contests for athletes and playwrights, and even the Parthenon itself. In turn, Athenian art celebrated the navy. The world's oldest surviving play, Aeschylus' Persians, recounts the battle of Salamis from the enemy's point of view. Plato's Atlantis dialogues give a mythic dimension to the hubris that comes with sea power. The Athenian navy built a civilization, empowered democracy, and led a band of ordinary citizens on a voyage of discovery that forever altered the course of history. Lords of the Sea is their story and ours as well. - An Indiana native, John R. Hale studied at Yale and Cambridge universities before embarking on an archaeological career that has included extensive underwater searches for ancient warships. He has written for Antiquity, journal of Roman Archaeology, and Scientific American; has been profiled by National Public Radio and The New York Times; and has been featured in documentaries on the Discovery and History channels. He is currently director of liberal studies at the University of Louisville. ISBN 9780670020805 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 630 Original hardcover with dust jacket.
