Synopsis

In 'Travels in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth,' readers are presented with an exquisite anthology that illuminates the Elizabethan era through the eyes of Paul Hentzner and Sir Robert Naunton. The collection combines firsthand traveler accounts and astute political analyses, offering a rich tapestry of cultural, social, and political life in 16th-century England. The diversity in narrative style - from observational commentary to reflective storytelling - enhances the readers' understanding of Elizabethan society's complexities. This anthology stands out not only for the historical breadth it covers but also for its literary merit, showcasing the authors' keen insights and varied perspectives on the same epoch. The contributing authors, Hentzner and Naunton, bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the anthology. Hentzner, a discerning German lawyer, and Sir Naunton, a seasoned English courtier, offer contrasting yet complementary views of Elizabethan England. Their backgrounds, rooted in distinct cultural and social milieus, enrich the collection's narrative and historical depth, situating it at the confluence of European history and reflecting the broader socio-political dynamics of the time. 'Travels in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth' is a compelling invitation to scholars, students, and enthusiasts of Elizabethan history. It offers a unique opportunity to peer into the life and times of one of England's most iconic monarchs through a dual lens. The anthology not only educates but also engages readers in a historical dialogue, bridging the gap between past and present through the universal themes of power, culture, and societal change. This collection is a must-read for those looking to immerse themselves in the Elizabethan age, offering unparalleled insights into its enduring legacy.

    ‘In this book can be heard the merest edge of an enormous conversation. As they never were in life, we can imagine the speakers all gathered in some vast room, wearing name tags in case they don’t recognize each other (although some recognize each other all too well, and avoid contact). My heroes and heroines are here. The reader will recognize some of their names, while other names will be more obscure. My intellectual betes noires are here too, and the same division might apply.’  
     An almanac combining a comprehensive survey of modern culture with an annotated index of who-was-who and what-was-what, Cultural Amnesia is Clive’s unique take on the places and the faces that shaped the twentieth-century. From Anna Akhmatova to Stefan Zweig, via Charles de Gaulle, Hitler, Thomas Mann and Wittgenstein, this varied and unfailingly absorbing book is both story and history, both public memoir and personal record – and provides an essential field-guide to the vast movements of taste, intellect, politics and delusion that helped to prepare the times we live in now.

    Learn the truth behind the famous characters of the Wild West—and how the legends got it wrong—in this lively history that separates fact from fiction. The historic figures of the Western frontier have fascinated us for generations. But in many cases, the stories we know about them are little more than inventions. Popular legend won’t tell you, for instance, that David Crockett was a congressman, or that Daniel Boone was a Virginia legislator. Thanks to penny dreadfuls, Wild West shows, sensationalist newspaper stories, and tall tales told by the explorers themselves, what we know of these men and women is often more fiction than fact.The Real Dirt on America's Frontier Legends separates fact from fiction, showing the legends and the evidence side-by-side to give readers the real story of the old West. Here you’ll discover the fascinating truth about Lewis and Clark, Daniel Boone, “Buffalo Bill” Cody, Calamity Jane, Kit Carson, Davy Crocket, and many others.
