Sinossi

In "The History of Chivalry: Knighthood and Its Times (Vol.1&2)", Charles Mills intricately examines the cultural and historical constructs surrounding chivalry, a pivotal element in the medieval social structure. Through meticulous research, Mills weaves a narrative that encompasses the evolution of knighthood, exploring not only the codes of conduct that defined chivalric ideals but also the socio-political landscapes in which they thrived. His prose blends scholarly rigor with accessible storytelling, allowing readers to appreciate both the grandeur and the intricacies of chivalric culture within the broader context of medieval history. Charles Mills, a prominent figure in the 19th century, dedicated his academic endeavors to the exploration of English history, particularly the influences of feudalism and chivalry. His background as a historian, coupled with his interest in the romantic notions of knighthood, provided the impetus for this comprehensive study. Mills aimed to reach a diverse audience, blending intellectual inquiry with a wider cultural appreciation for the age of chivalry, an inspiration drawn from both scholarly research and the popular imaginations of his time. This two-volume work is highly recommended for scholars, students, and general readers who seek a profound understanding of the intersection between history and literature in the context of chivalric traditions. Mills' engaging narrative and insightful analysis make this book an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in medieval history and the enduring legacy of knighthood.

    We Need To Talk - The truth...

    'As inspiring as it is enraging, Emily Hunt turns trauma into action, exposing a criminal justice system that fails women, and a culture that enables violence against us. A rallying call for change, and a powerful lesson in perseverance from a woman who would not give up.' The Guardian 
    Emily was in a restaurant, having lunch with her father – the next thing she remembers is waking up, naked, in a strange hotel room, next to a man she did not know. She suspected she had been drugged and raped. She later found out she had been filmed without her consent. 
    What happened to her that night could have happened to anyone. What came next happens to far too many victims, as failures by the police, CPS and other parts of the system, led to Emily doubting she would ever find justice. 
    Six years after her attack, Emily is an adviser to the UK Government on sexual violence. Part memoir and part investigation, Emily shines a light on the fault lines of a system and a society that is failing rape victims. We Need To Talk looks at how rape is a mainstream, everyday problem deeply damaging victims, their families, their workplaces and the economy. 
    This is a conversation starter about why we don’t talk about rape; that the only cause of rape is rapists, not rape victims; who commits rape and why; the reasons why society defaults to blaming the victim; and ultimately how we need to change and humanise the way we talk about rape in order to truly hear and support victims and end the current epidemic of sexual violence.

    Seven Against Thebes - The Quest...

    In the thirteenth century BC, a quarter of a century before the Trojan War, seven Greek warrior heroes went against the Greek city of Thebes to restore one of their number to the throne of his father, the famous King Oedipus. Several children of those seven heroes would later take part in the siege of Troy. This adventure was equal in the minds of Greeks and Romans with the siege of Troy as told in Homer’s epic The Iliad, an event which it predated by a generation. And while the story contains mythical elements, there are no factual, historical, or archaeological reasons to suggest that the military campaign did not take place much as described. Initially sung in verse and later committed to written form via histories, ancient poems, and plays, Seven Against Thebes is a historical narrative concerning one of the greatest military adventures of all time.
