""Prince Charles Edward Stuart: The Young Chevalier"" by Andrew Lang is a biography of the Scottish prince who led the Jacobite uprising of 1745. The book follows Charles' life from his birth in Rome in 1720 to his death in 1788. It delves into his upbringing, his education, and his early military training. The book also explores the political and religious tensions of the time, which led to the Jacobite rebellion. Lang describes the events leading up to the uprising, including Charles' landing in Scotland and his subsequent battles against the British army. The book also examines Charles' relationships with his family members and his romantic interests. Lang provides a detailed account of Charles' life in exile after the rebellion failed, including his travels throughout Europe and his attempts to gain support for another uprising. The book concludes with Charles' death and his legacy as a romantic figure in Scottish history. Overall, ""Prince Charles Edward Stuart: The Young Chevalier"" offers a comprehensive look at the life of one of Scotland's most famous historical figures.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1903 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Covering the period from the 1630s to the 1690s, this book continues the style of the other two in the series. It follows the fortunes of a fashionable family through three generations. Clothes were vital to their success and in their diaries we gain an insight into the pleasures and problems of fashionable life during such troublesome times. Lucy Townsend writes about the lavish entertainments given in honour of Charles I. Her son comments on the Battle of Edgehill and her grandson deals with the after effects of the Great Fire of London. Never the main actors, the Townsends record their reactions to events played out before them and so let us see the concerns, preoccupations and clothes of the world of high fashion in the Stuart period.

Verse in English from Tudor and Stuart Ireland

Verse in English from Tudor and Stuart Ireland

Just as Andrew Carpenter's 1998 anthology Verse in English from Eighteenth-Century Ireland changed our perception of eighteenth-century Irish writing in English, the present work challenges the general assumption that little or no verse was written in Tudor or Stuart Ireland. As this exciting and original collection of verse in English from sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Ireland shows, hundreds of poets were active in Ireland at the time. The poems of a few of them - particularly Edmund Spenser and the young Jonathan Swift - are well-known today: but almost everything else in this anthology - taken from manuscripts or from the original printings - appears here for the first time for three hundred years. The poets who wrote these verses, otherwise unknown men and women from the worlds of the Old English and native Irish, or visitors or settlers newly arrived from England, emerge from the pages of this book as sardonic observers of the dangerous times in which they lived, and as writers of originality, freshness and, sometimes - surprisingly - wit. Among many memorable and moving poems in this extraordinary book are love songs, laments, death-bed repentances, accounts of military life in Ireland, ballads marking natural calamities, dedicatory poems, elegies, political lampoons, theological speculations, coarse poems, gentle poems, angry poems, mad poems. There are verses from well-bred coteries in Dublin Castle and verses scratched on gateposts; there are hymns and curses, echoes and allegories, prayers and squibs. The book proves triumphantly that, from the beginning of the Tudor period until the Battle of the Boyne, much of Ireland was alive with the sound of verse in English. Verse in English from Tudor and Stuart Ireland is a major contribution to Irish cultural history, which introduces to the modern reader a wonderful range of original and previously unknown Irish poetic voices.
