楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Lady Barbarity," J. C. Snaith crafts a rich tapestry of societal norms and the struggle for personal agency within the confines of early 20th-century England. This novel is marked by its sharp social commentary, blending elements of satire and realism to expose the absurdities of class and gender expectations.

This novel is a must-read for those intrigued by the interplay of societal roles and individual desires.

American Aristocrats A Family, a Fortune, and the Making of American Capitalism【電子書籍】[ Harry S Stout ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>The story of an ambitious family at the forefront of the great middle-class land grab that shaped early American capitalism</strong></p> <p><em>American Aristocrats</em> is a multigenerational biography of the Andersons of Kentucky, a family of strivers who passionately believed in the promise of America. Beginning in 1773 with the family patriarch, a twice-wounded Revolutionary War hero, the Andersons amassed land throughout what was then the American west. As the eminent religious historian Harry S. Stout argues, the story of the Andersons is the story of America's experiment in republican capitalism. Congressmen, diplomats, and military generals, the Andersons enthusiastically embraced the emerging American gospel of land speculation. In the process, they became apologists for slavery and Indian removal, and worried anxiously that the volatility of the market might lead them to ruin.</p> <p>Drawing on a vast store of Anderson family records, Stout reconstructs their journey to great wealth as they rode out the cataclysms of their time, from financial panics to the Civil War and beyond. Through the Andersons we see how the lure of wealth shaped American capitalism and the nation's continental aspirations.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Headless State Aristocratic Orders, Kinship Society, and Misrepresentations of Nomadic Inner Asia【電子書籍】[ David Sneath ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In this groundbreaking work, social anthropologist David Sneath aggressively dispels the myths surrounding the history of steppe societies and proposes a new understanding of the nature and formation of the state. Since the colonial era, representations of Inner Asia have been dominated by images of fierce nomads organized into clans and tribesーbut as Sneath reveals, these representations have no sound basis in historical fact. Rather, they are the product of nineteenth-century evolutionist social theory, which saw kinship as the organizing principle in a nonstate society.</p> <p>Sneath argues that aristocratic power and statelike processes of administration were the true organizers of life on the steppe. Rethinking the traditional dichotomy between state and nonstate societies, Sneath conceives of a "headless state" in which a configuration of statelike power was formed by the horizontal relations among power holders and was reproduced with or without an overarching ruler or central "head." In other words, almost all of the operations of state power existed at the local level, virtually independent of central bureaucratic authority.</p> <p>Sneath's research gives rise to an alternative picture of steppe life in which aristocrats determined the size, scale, and degree of centralization of political power. His history of the region shows no clear distinction between a highly centralized, stratified "state" society and an egalitarian, kin-based "tribal" society. Drawing on his extensive anthropological fieldwork in the region, Sneath persuasively challenges the legitimacy of the tribal model, which continues to distort scholarship on the history of Inner Asia.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Black Diamonds The Downfall of an Aristocratic Dynasty and the Fifty Years That Changed England【電子書籍】[ Catherine Bailey ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>From the <em>New York Times</em>?bestselling author of <em>The Secret Rooms</em>, the extraordinary true story of the downfall of one of England’s wealthiest families</strong></p> <p>Fans of <em>Downton Abbey</em> now have a go-to resource for fascinating, real-life stories of the spectacular lives led by England’s aristocrats. With the novelistic flair and knack for historical detail Catherine Bailey displayed in her <em>New York Times</em> bestseller <em>The Secret Rooms</em>, <em>Black Diamonds</em> provides a page-turning chronicle of the Fitzwilliam coal-mining dynasty and their breathtaking Wentworth estate, the largest private home in England.</p> <p>When the sixth Earl Fitzwilliam died in 1902, he left behind the second largest estate in twentieth-century England, valued at more than 〓3 billion of today’s moneyーa lifeline to the tens of thousands of people who worked either in the family’s coal mines or on their expansive estate. The earl also left behind four sons, and the family line seemed assured. But was it? As Bailey retraces the Fitzwilliam family history, she uncovers a legacy riddled with bitter feuds, scandals (including Peter Fitzwilliam’s ill-fated affair with American heiress Kick Kennedy), and civil unrest as the conflict between the coal industry and its miners came to a head. Once again, Bailey has written an irresistible and brilliant narrative history.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Aristocratic Liberalism The Social and Political Thought of Jacob Burckhardt, John Stuart Mill, and Alexis De Tocqueville【電子書籍】[ Alan Kahan ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>"Liberalism" is widely used to describe a variety of social and political ideas, but has been an especially difficult concept for historians and political scientists to define. Burckhardt, Mill, and Tocqueville define one type of liberal thought. They share an aristocratic liberalism marked by distaste for the masses and the middle class, opposition to the commercial spirit, fear and contempt of mediocrity, and suspicion of the centralized state. Their fears are combined with an elevated ideal of human personality, an ideal which affirms modernity. All see their ideals threatened in the immediate future, and all hope to save European civilization from barbarism and militarism through some form of education, although all grow more pessimistic towards the end of their lives.</p> <p><em>Aristocratic Liberalism</em> ignores the national boundaries that so often confine the history of political thought, and uses the perspective thus gained to establish a pan-European type of political thought. Going beyond Burckhardt, Mill, and Tocqueville, Aristocratic Liberalism argues for new ways of looking at nineteenth-century liberalism. It corrects many prevalent misconceptions about liberalism, and suggests new paths for arriving at a better understanding of the leading form of nineteenth-century political thought. The new Afterword by the author presents a novel description of liberal political language as the "discourse of capacity," and suggests that this kind of language is the common denominator of all forms of European liberalism in the nineteenth century. Aristocratic Liberalism will be valuable to students of history, political science, sociology, and political philosophy.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Dick Award-winning author Mark Hodder.</strong></p> <p>In 1890 the renowned adventurer and explorer Sir Richard Burton could sense his impending death…</p> <p>Until he was suddenly alive, young and strong in the year 1864ーa past that he remembers well, but which is definitely different from what he previously lived through. Burton’s amazement is heightened when he is reunited with his loyal friend, the eccentric poet Algernon Swinburne, who is equally nonplussed at being somehow transported into his former self at the moment of death.</p> <p>Before long, Burton and Swinburneーjoined by many of their brave compatriotsーfind themselves once again being pulled to and fro by the streams of time in an adventure that may decide the fate of humanity.</p> <p>For while Burton, Swinburne and company have employed time travel to save the empire and her subjects, that technology has now fallen into the wrong hands. England’s ruling class are transforming Burton and Swinburne’s beloved England into a nightmare where those in powerーalong with their merciless clockwork enforcersーoppress and enslave the masses.</p> <p>And now, Burton and his friends will have to find a way to heal the damage time travel has done to the world if they are ever going to save it…</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【古本】 Aristocratic Universe of Karen Blixen: Destiny and the Denial of Fate - Frantz Leander Hansen (Liverpool University Press) 【紙書籍】 9781903900338
Roundabout Books
|
タイトル: Aristocratic Universe of Karen Blixen: Destiny and the Denial of Fate著者: Frantz Leander Hansen出版社: Liverpool University Press出版日: 2003年06月01日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。Karen Blixen's works are explored in the light of a passionate insistence on living out a double nature of the divine and the demonic. The 'aristocratic' is examined as her depiction of a conduct of life that is faithful to destiny: the aristocratic viewpoint is in tune with eternity, and places no obstructive morality between self and life. Vitality has its source in direct access to the ocean of inexhaustible opportunities with which life presents us. The 'world' of Africa, for example, plays a key role as the consummate illustration of an aristocratic culture. The aesthetic guidelines for literary form (as well as art) as advocated by KB are discussed, and her view of art is similarly defined and explained as 'aristocratic'. Her private correspondence (including the recently published Karen Blixen in Denmark: Letters, 1931-62) is drawn upon to shed new light on her life and work.

The Ghosts of Happy Valley Searching for the Lost World of Africa's Infamous Aristocrats【電子書籍】[ Juliet Barnes ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Happy Valley was the name given to the Wanjohi Valley in the Kenya Highlands, where a small community of affluent, hedonistic white expatriates settled between the wars. While Kenya's early colonial days have been immortalised by farming pioneers like Lord Delamere and Karen Blixen, and the pioneering aviator Beryl Markham, Happy Valley became infamous under the influence of troubled socialite, Lady Idina Sackville, whose life was told in Frances Osborne's bestselling The Bolter. The era culminated with the notorious murder of the Earl of Erroll in 1941, the investigation of which laid bare the Happy Valley set's decadence and irresponsibility, chronicled in another bestseller, James Fox's <em>White Mischief.</em><br /> But what is left now? In a remarkable and indefatigable archaeological quest Juliet Barnes, who has lived in Kenya all her life and whose grandparents knew some of the Happy Valley characters, has set out to explore Happy Valley to find the former homes and haunts of this extraordinary and transient set of people. With the help of a remarkable African guide and further assisted by the memories of elderly former settlers, she finds the remains of grand residences tucked away beneath the mountains and speaks to local elders who share first-hand memories of these bygone times.<br /> Nowadays these old homes, she discovers, have become tumbledown dwellings for many African families, school buildings, or their ruins have almost disappeared without trace - a revelation of the state of modern Africa that makes the gilded era of the Happy Valley set even more fantastic. A book to set alongside such singular evocations of Africa’s strange colonial history as The Africa House, <em>The Ghosts of Happy Valley</em> is a mesmerising blend of travel narrative, social history and personal quest.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Japan's Empire of Birds Aristocrats, Anglo-Americans, and Transwar Ornithology【電子書籍】[ Associate Professor Annika A. Culver ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>As a transnational history of science, <em>Japan's Empire of Birds: Aristocrats, Anglo-Americans, and Transwar Ornithology</em> focuses on the political aspects of highly mobile Japanese explorer-scientists, or cosmopolitan gentlemen of science, circulating between Japanese and British/American spaces in the transwar period from the 1920s to 1950s.</p> <p>Annika A. Culver examines a network of zoologists united by their practice of ornithology and aristocratic status. She goes on to explore issues of masculinity and race related to this amidst the backdrop of imperial Japan's interwar period of peaceful internationalism, the rise of fascism, the Japanese takeover of Manchuria, and war in China and the Pacific. Culver concludes by investigating how these scientists repurposed their aims during Japan's Allied Occupation and the Cold War. Inspired by geographer Doreen Massey, themes covered in the volume include social space and place in these specific locations and how identities transform to garner social capital and scientific credibility in transnational associations and travel for non-white scientists.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Berkeleys and their Neighbors," Molly Elliot Seawell weaves a rich tapestry of social dynamics and moral intricacies woven into the lives of the Berkeley family and their surrounding community in late 19th-century America. Through intricate character development and vivid descriptions, Seawell employs a realist literary style that captures the essence of familial ties, class relationships, and societal conventions of the era. The novel is marked by Seawell's keen observations of human behavior, reflecting the shifting cultural norms as America moves into the new century, showcasing the tensions between tradition and modernity.

Her background and profound understanding of human nature are evident throughout the narrative, allowing her to create relatable characters that resonate on multiple levels. "The Berkeleys and their Neighbors" is an invaluable addition to the canon of American literature, offering readers an engaging exploration of social mores and personal identity.

Pursuit of the Heiress: Aristocratic Marriage in Ireland, 1740-1840【電子書籍】[ Anthony Malcomson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The Pursuit of the Heiress is a new, greatly enlarged and more widely focused version of what the late Lawrence Stone described as ‘a brilliant long essay or short book on the subject of the role of heiresses among the Irish aristocracy’, which was published by the Ulster Historical Foundation under the same title in 1982 and has long been out of print.</p> <p>The new book comes to the same broad conclusions about heiresses -- namely that their importance as a means of enlarging the estates or retrieving the fortunes of their husbands has been much exaggerated. This was because known heiresses were well protected by a variety of legal devices and, in common with many aristocratic women of the day, also had minds and strong preferences of their own -- which meant that they were not generally an object of deliberate or profitable pursuit.</p> <p>It also ranges more widely than its central theme of heiresses and addresses other aspects of aristocratic marriage such as abductions, elopements, m?salliances, the supposed ‘rise of the affective family’, and the disadvantaged situation of even the richest and most privileged women in an age when both adultery and divorce were largely the prerogative of men.</p> <p>In short, it places the evidence of between fifty and a hundred Irish ‘big house’ archives at the centre of the international debate about love, marriage and inheritance in the halcyon era of the British aristocracy. As Lawrence Stone said of the original and now superseded version: ‘It is based on deep research, makes very amusing reading and postulates an entirely new theory about heiresses which has a strong ring of truth’.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Dream of the Red Chamber Enriched edition. A Tale of Love, Tragedy, and Aristocratic Decline in 18th Century China【電子書籍】[ Cao Xueqin ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The Dream of the Red Chamber, a cornerstone of Chinese literature, intricately weaves a tapestry of family dynamics, societal expectations, and the intricacies of love within the framework of 18th-century Qing Dynasty China. Cao Xueqin employs a rich literary style, characterized by lyrical prose, vivid imagery, and profound psychological depth, to illustrate the poignant realities of human existence. The narrative, which revolves around the rise and fall of the Jia family, delves into themes of fate, fleeting beauty, and the illusory nature of wealth, thus positioning itself against the backdrop of a society grappling with change and decline. Cao Xueqin, born into a once-illustrious family that faced financial ruin, infused his own life experiences into this semi-autobiographical work. His background provided him with a keen insight into the complexities of social hierarchy and familial affections, which serve as the novel's backbone.

Knights, Lords, and Ladies In Search of Aristocrats in the Paris Region, 118-122【電子書籍】[ John W. Baldwin ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>At the beginning of the twelfth century, the region around Paris had a reputation for being the land of unruly aristocrats. Entrenched within their castles, the nobles were viewed as quarrelling among themselves, terrorizing the countryside, harassing churchmen and peasants, pillaging, and committing unspeakable atrocities. By the end of the century, during the reign of Philip Augustus, the situation was dramatically different. The king had created the principal governmental organs of the Capetian monarchy and replaced the feudal magnates at the royal court with loyal men of lesser rank. The major castles had been subdued and peace reigned throughout the countryside. The aristocratic families remain the same, but no longer brigands, they had now been recruited for royal service.</p> <p>In his final book, the distinguished historian John Baldwin turned to church charters, royal inventories of fiefs and vassals, aristocratic seals and documents, vernacular texts, and archaeological evidence to create a detailed picture of the transformation of aristocratic life in the areas around Paris during the four decades of Philip Augustus's reign. Working outward from the reconstructed biographies of seventy-five individuals from thirty-three noble families, Baldwin offers a rich description of their domestic lives, their horses and war gear, their tourneys and crusades, their romantic fantasies, and their penances and apprehensions about final judgment.</p> <p><em>Knights, Lords, and Ladies</em> argues that the aristocrats who inhabited the region of Paris over the turn of the twelfth century were important not only because they contributed to Philip Augustus's increase of royal power and to the wealth of churches and monasteries, but also for their own establishment as an elite and powerful social class.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Voyagers of the Titanic Passengers, Sailors, Shipbuilders, Aristocrats, and the Worlds They Came From【電子書籍】[ Richard Davenport-Hines ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>"The story of the Titanic has been told many times; this one takes a sociological perspective, with the confident, graceful prose of fine fiction." ー <em>Wall Street Journal</em></strong><br /> It has been over one hundred years since the sinking of the passenger liner Titanic in the North Atlantic, yet worldwide fascination with the epic tragedy remains as strong as ever. With <em>Voyagers of the Titanic</em>, Richard Davenport-Hines gives us a magnificent history of the people intimately connected with the infamous shipーfrom deal-makers and industry giants, like J.P. Morgan, who built and operated it; to Molly Brown, John Jacob Astor IV, and other glittering aristocrats who occupied its first class cabins; to the men and women traveling below decks hoping to find a better life in America. <em>Voyagers of the Titanic</em> offers a fascinating, uniquely original view of one of the most momentous catastrophes of the twentieth century.<br /> "Impressive in both its writing and reporting." ー <em>USA Today</em><br /> "Eloquent and absorbing." ー <em>The Telegraph</em> (UK))<br /> "This will not be the last book on the Titanic, but it is a safe bet that there will not be a better." ー <em>The Spectator</em> (UK)<br /> "Bolstered by photographs of the people who built, staffed, sailed on and survived the Titanic, Davenport-Hines finds a slew of new points of view from which to scan history." ー <em>Denver Post</em><br /> "Utterly compelling." ー <em>Sunday Times</em> (UK)<br /> "Paints a provocative portrait of the "upstairs, downstairs" social stratification in play aboard the doomed ship." ー <em>Entertainment Weekly</em><br /> "An astonishing work." ーJulian Fellowes, Creator and Executive Producer of <em>Downton Abbey</em><br /> "A haunting story of real, intersecting lives on a collision course with destiny." ー <em>Kirkus Reviews</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>To the outside world Rachel and her half-sister Claire had a privileged upbringing. The offspring of a complex, but free-spirited mother and two wealthy fathers, they spent their childhood in private schools and stately homes. Rachel's father Count De Lengham even descended from a long and ancient line of aristocrats and boasted his own coat of arms. Most would never question what really happened behind the doors of the grand houses they inhabited.</p> <p>But, in truth, life was abhorrently chaotic for both girls who endured extreme neglect, abuse and even spent time in care. As she grew older, Rachel's father trained her to be every inch the baroness. He called upon her to attend elite parties and events with the highest echelons of society. In time, Rachel and Claire's relationship with their parents became increasingly strained. But when Count De Lengham became ill and the family were told he was near death, Rachel was there for him and in that moment, he shared with her a mind-blowing deathbed confession that would change her family's lives forever...</p> <p>This is the shocking story of how two sisters navigated the most absurd of upbringings and a heartfelt exploration of family-ties, identity, and the concept of truth.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Farmers, Monks and Aristocrats The environmental archaeology of Anglo-Saxon Flixborough【電子書籍】[ K. M. Dobney ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The environmental archaeological evidence from the site of Flixborough (in particular the animal bone assemblage) provides a series of unique insights into Anglo-Saxon life in England during the 8th to 10th centuries. The research reveals detailed evidence for the local and regional environment, many aspects of the local and regional agricultural economy, changing resource exploitation strategies and the extent of possible trade and exchange networks. Perhaps the most important conclusions have been gleaned from the synthesis of these various lines of evidence, viewed in a broader archaeological context. Thus, bioarchaeological data from Flixborough have documented for the first time, in a detailed and systematic way, the significant shift in social and economic aspects of wider Anglo-Saxon life during the 9th century AD., and comment on the possible role of external factors such as the arrival of Scandinavians in the life and development of the settlement. The bioarchaeological evidence from Flixborough is also used to explore the tentative evidence revealed by more traditional archaeological materials for the presence during the 9th century of elements of monastic life. The vast majority of bioarchaeological evidence from Flixborough provides both direct and indirect evidence of the wealth and social standing of some of the inhabitants as well as a plethora of unique information about agricultural and provisioning practices associated with a major Anglo-Saxon estate centre. The environmental archaeological record from Flixborough is without doubt one of the most important datasets of the early medieval period, and one which will provide a key benchmark for future research into many aspects of early medieval archaeology.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
