Excerpt from The Most Honourable Order of the Bath: A Descriptive and Historical Account A considerable amount of literature is in existence bearing upon the Order of the Bath in its various phases, but it is difficult to get into touch with it. Volumes long since out of print, and only to be found to-day in a few of our leading libraries, do not afford much opportunity to persons desirous of becoming more closely acquainted with a deeply interesting chapter in English History. At the present moment a great deal of public attention is being directed to the Order of the Bath, now about to enter upon a new stage altogether, with the Re-inaguration of the Chapel of King Henry VII, in Westminster Abbey, as the official home of the Order, by Our Most Gracious Sovereign. The present volume is, therefore, put forth with the hope that it may fill to some extent a gap existing to-day, by placing within the reach of the ordinary reader the main facts connected with this Historic Order of Knighthood. I have availed myself freely of the almost classical treatises of Anstis, Selden, Camden, Segar, and, perhaps, most important of all, the monumental work by Sir Nicholas Harris Nicolas on the various Orders of Knighthood. A quantity of valuable contemporaneous material has also descended to us, which has been of great value, notably, the large illustrated folio by John Pine, published in 1730, describing the Installation of 1725; also the really magnificent set of documents collected by the late Sir Joseph Banks and his daughter, now preserved among the Additional Manuscripts at the British Museum. I desire to take this opportunity of testifying my most grateful thanks to my honoured chief, the Dean of Westminster, for his kindness in permitting a reproduction to be made of the beautiful picture by Canaletto of the Procession of the Knights of the Bath at the Installation of 1749.

`Sheds considerable new light on the nature, development and functions of the orders in a key phase of their history, and goes a long way to explaining how such archaic institutions could flourish in a culture that is commonly thought anti-traditional and especially hostile to the "middle ages"'. Professor JONATHAN BOULTON, University of Notre Dame. This is the first comprehensive study to set the British orders of knighthood properly into the context of the honours system - by analysing their political, social and cultural functions from the Restoration of the monarchy to the end of George II's reign. It examines the revival of the Order of the Garter and the proposals to establish the Orders of the Royal Oak and the Esquires of the Martyred King at the Restoration, the foundation (1687) and the revival (1703-4) of the Order of the Thistle as well as the foundation of the Order of the Bath (1725). It establishes just how central a part the orders played in the British high political life and its comprehensive and multidimensional approach carefully contrasts the idealistic discourse of virtue and honour to the real workings of the honours system; it also makes the case for the 'Chivalric Enlightenment'. The 'orders over the water', the Garter and the Thistle conferred by the Jacobite claimants, are discussed for the first time in the context of the established British honours system. Overall, the comparison between the socially very restricted British and the increasingly meritocratic Continental orders highlights the isolation of the British honours system from the European tendencies.

Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun çöküşü İngiliz Ermeni İttifakı ile başladı. Peki İngilizler ve Ermeniler nasıl ittifak etti. 1688'de İngiliz ve İran-Hindistan Ermenileri arasında imzalanan ve asırlarca sadık kalınarak koruna bu antlaşma nasıl gerçekleşti. Üzerinde güneş batmayan İngiliz İmparatorluğu'nun kuruluşunda Ermeniler ne gibi bir role sahiplerdi? İngiliz istihbarat ağının şekillenmesinde 19. yüzyılda İngilizler Ermenileri nasıl kullandı?

Daha bunun gibi onlarca günümüze kadar cevaplanmamış sorular bu çalışmada cevap buluyor. Halil Ersin Avcı'nın 7 yıllık Türkiye, İngiltere, Fransa, ABD ve Almanya'daki araştırmalarının neticesinde ortaya çıkan bu çalışma kapsamı itibariyle de bir ilk.

The institution of the pantheon has come a long way from its classical origins. Invented to describe a temple dedicated to many deities, the term later became so far removed from its original meaning, that by the twentieth century, it has been able to exist independently of any architectural and sculptural monument. This collection of essays is the first to trace the transformation of the monumental idea of the pantheon from its origins in Greek and Roman antiquity to its later appearance as a means of commemorating and enshrining the ideals of national identity and statehood. Illuminating the emergence of the pantheon in a range of different cultures and periods by exploring its different manifestations and implementations, the essays open new historical perspectives on the formation of national and civic identities.

The true story of a self-taught sleuth's quest to prove his eye-opening theory about the source of the world's most famous plays, taking readers inside the vibrant era of Elizabethan England as well as the contemporary scene of Shakespeare scholars and obsessives. What if Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare . . . but someone else wrote him first? Acclaimed author of The Map Thief, Michael Blanding presents the twinning narratives of renegade scholar Dennis McCarthy and Elizabethan courtier Sir Thomas North. Unlike those who believe someone else secretly wrote Shakespeare, McCarthy argues that Shakespeare wrote the plays, but he adapted them from source plays written by North decades before. In Shakespeare's Shadow alternates between the enigmatic life of North, the intrigues of the Tudor court, the rivalries of English Renaissance theater, and academic outsider McCarthy's attempts to air his provocative ideas in the clubby world of Shakespearean scholarship. Through it all, Blanding employs his keen journalistic eye to craft a captivating drama, upending our understanding of the beloved playwright and his "singular genius."
