Eighteenth Century Waifs

John Ashton

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

In "Eighteenth Century Waifs," John Ashton delves into the fraught societal landscapes of the 1700s, portraying the precarious lives of those marginally existing within the cultural framework of the time. Ashton's literary style, characterized by a blend of vivid narrative and acute historical analysis, evokes a rich tapestry of characters and their often tragic circumstances. Drawing on extensive primary sources, he explores themes of abandonment, identity, and resilience, set against the backdrop of rapid societal change and economic turmoil that marked the age of Enlightenment and the early Industrial Revolution. John Ashton was a prominent folklorist and scholar of the Victorian era, whose fascination with the cultural undercurrents of history significantly influenced his writing. His extensive research on the lives of the less fortunate in society reflects a keen awareness of the socio-political dynamics that shaped human experiences, compelling him to shed light on the 'waifs' of the eighteenth century. Ashton's ability to weave narrative with scholarly rigor offers readers an introspective look into a time often romanticized yet filled with strife. This meticulously crafted work is recommended for readers interested in the interplay between history and literature, offering a piercing insight into the overlooked narratives of the past. Ashton's "Eighteenth Century Waifs" not only serves as a historical account but also invites contemporary reflections on identity and the human condition, making it a must-read for scholars and casual readers alike.

About the Little People: Fairies...

Martin K. Ettington

I’ve written a number of books about legendary beings such as Bigfoot, Dragons, Thunderbirds, Sea Monsters, Giants, and more. I also wrote a book titled “The Mythical People of Ireland” which covered the Tuatha Da Danann,  Druids, and Leprechaun elves. The information I found for that book caused me to become more curious about the little people generally. 
There are legends of the Little People all over the world. Even more interesting is that a race of very small people who were close to three feet tall were uncovered recently in Indonesia. This race is called the Flores Man and was of a similar size to the beings in many of the legends of the little people. 
This find is amazing because none of the other legendary beings have confirmed evidence of those little people in archeological sites. These findings add a lot of credibility to those old legends. 
In this book we cover these little beings from different areas of the world. This includes where they came from, stories about them possibly coming from different dimensions, and stories about sightings of them. 
Hope you enjoy this adventure into what seems like it might be a real race of intelligent legends.

Ancient Rome’s Provinces: The...

Editors Charles River

It can be argued that Roman culture was, indeed, Graeco-Roman rather than Roman. It was the Greek language that served as the lingua franca in the Eastern Empire and much of the west including Italy. Many Greek intellectuals, including Galen, were based in Rome and the Roman aristocracy more and more came to embrace Greek literature and philosophy. Homer’s epics inspired Virgil’s Aeneid and Seneca wrote in Greek. Earlier, Scipio Africanus (236 – 183 B.C.), the epitome of the Roman martial hero, studied Greek philosophy and regarded Greek culture as the benchmark against which all others had to be judged. The Roman poet and philosopher Horace studied in Athens during the Principate and, in common with many of his class, saw that city as the intellectual centre of the world.
In the minds of most people today, Gaul equates to modern France. However, the vast geographical area that Caesar named Gaul, in fact, was made up of a number of very distinct regions and covered, in addition to modern-day France, Belgium, Luxembourg, parts of the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Northern Italy. The Romans called the northern area of the Italian peninsula, which is now part of modern Italy, Cisalpine Gaul, or Gaul on this side of the Alps. Early Romans did not even consider this region as part of Italy and repeated incursions southwards, and the sacking of Rome itself in 390 B.C., resulted in Rome taking full control of the area in 221 B.C. and thoroughly Romanizing it to the extent that even the Celtic language totally disappeared and was replaced by Latin. The region was initially a province but by the beginning of the 1st century B.C., it had become fully integrated into the Roman heartland and became an administrative region of Italy rather than a province.

Swimming in the Sacred - Wisdom...

PhD Rachel Harris

WISDOM FROM THE WOMEN HEALERS OF THE PSYCHEDELIC UNDERGROUND 
 
 
 
The use of entheogens, or psychedelics, is out of the closet today. LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, and other medicines once associated only with the counterculture are now being legally studied for their healing properties. But as Rachel Harris shows, the underground use and study of psychedelics by women dates back to the Eleusinian Mysteries of ancient Greece. 
 
 
 
Harris interviews the modern women elders carrying on this tradition to gather their hard-won wisdom of experience. Any listener interested in inspiration, healing, and enlightenment will find here a wonder-filled narrative packed with provocative and perhaps life-changing insight.
