Sinopsis

In "The History of Chivalry: Knighthood and Its Times (Vol.1&2)," Charles Mills meticulously explores the intricate tapestry of medieval chivalric culture, emphasizing its evolution from the early feudal society to the romanticized ideals of later literature. Through rich narrative and detailed anecdotes, Mills captures the essence of knighthood, blending historical analysis with literary criticism. The prose is accessible yet scholarly, reflecting a deep engagement with primary sources and a nuanced understanding of the socio-political context that shaped chivalric ideals during the Middle Ages. Charles Mills, a prominent 19th-century historian, possessed a keen interest in the interplay between social customs and historical narratives. His background in history and literature, coupled with the intellectual currents of his time, influenced his perspective on chivalry as not merely a relic of the past, but a defining characteristic of European identity. Mills's scholarship is informed by the Romantic movement, which idealized chivalry, positioning it as a lens through which to critique contemporary society while celebrating the heroism of knights. This exhaustive study is essential for anyone captivated by medieval history, literature, or the social fabric of feudal Europe. Its thorough research and engaging prose make it not only informative but also enjoyable, inviting readers to consider the lasting impact of chivalric ideals on modern conceptions of honor and virtue.

    While the Lincoln Administration and most Northerners were preoccupied with trying to capture Richmond in the summer of 1861, it would be the little-known Ulysses S. Grant who delivered the Union’s first major victories, over a thousand miles away from Washington. Grant’s new commission led to his command of the District of Southeast Missouri, headquartered at Cairo, after he was appointed by “The Pathfinder”, John C. Fremont, a national celebrity who had run for President in 1856. Fremont was one of many political generals that Lincoln was saddled with, and his political prominence ensured he was given a prominent command as commander of the Department of the West early in the war before running so afoul of the Lincoln Administration that he was court-martialed. 
    In January of 1862, Grant persuaded General Henry “Old Brains” Halleck to allow his men to launch a campaign on the Tennessee River. As soon as Halleck acquiesced, Grant moved against Fort Henry, in close coordination with the naval command of Flag Officer Andrew Hull Foote. The combination of infantry and naval bombardment helped force the capitulation of Fort Henry on February 6, 1862, and the surrender of Fort Henry was followed immediately by an attack on Fort Donelson on the Cumberland River, which earned Grant his famous nickname “Unconditional Surrender”. Grant’s forces enveloped the Confederate garrison at Fort Donelson, which included Confederate generals Simon Buckner, John Floyd, and Gideon Pillow. In one of the most bungled operations of the war, the Confederate generals tried and failed to open an escape route by attacking Grant’s forces on February 15. Although the initial assault was successful, General Pillow inexplicably chose to have his men pull back into their trenches, ostensibly so they could take more supplies before their escape. Instead, they simply lost all the ground they had taken, and the garrison was cut off yet again.

    Contrary to popular sentiment, Christianity is not dull or out of touch but fresh, relevant, exciting, and contemporary. The Church is political because it tells a radically different story from the dominant political norms of our day. Through a study of the Church’s liturgy, this book seeks to build confidence in the Church’s mission.
    
     
    Politics & Mission examines five pieces of liturgy—namely morning prayer, baptism, eucharist, footwashing and the funeral—detailing in turn the ways in which the language of the liturgy, which we often take for granted, is powerful and counter-cultural. Through its analysis, the book sheds light on three principal areas: what it is to be human, the challenges of contemporary mission, and the particular way in which the Church is political.
    
     
    In so doing, new resources are offered for the practicing Christian, those in Church leadership, and those looking at the Church from the outside, to reflect on and grapple with the challenges of this generation.
