`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.

A 12-WEEK NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Helen Rappaport paints a compelling portrait of the doomed grand duchesses." —People magazine "The public spoke of the sisters in a gentile, superficial manner, but Rappaport captures sections of letters and diary entries to showcase the sisters' thoughtfulness and intelligence." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) From the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Days of the Romanovs and Caught in the Revolution, The Romanov Sisters reveals the untold stories of the four daughters of Nicholas and Alexandra. They were the Princess Dianas of their day—perhaps the most photographed and talked about young royals of the early twentieth century. The four captivating Russian Grand Duchesses—Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia Romanov—were much admired for their happy dispositions, their looks, the clothes they wore and their privileged lifestyle. Over the years, the story of the four Romanov sisters and their tragic end in a basement at Ekaterinburg in 1918 has clouded our view of them, leading to a mass of sentimental and idealized hagiography. With this treasure trove of diaries and letters from the grand duchesses to their friends and family, we learn that they were intelligent, sensitive and perceptive witnesses to the dark turmoil within their immediate family and the ominous approach of the Russian Revolution, the nightmare that would sweep their world away, and them along with it. The Romanov Sisters sets out to capture the joy as well as the insecurities and poignancy of those young lives against the backdrop of the dying days of late Imperial Russia, World War I and the Russian Revolution. Helen Rappaport aims to present a new and challenging take on the story, drawing extensively on previously unseen or unpublished letters, diaries and archival sources, as well as private collections. It is a book that will surprise people, even aficionados.

'Enamels of the World 1700-2000', consisting of some twelve hundred works, is the largest and most comprehensive private collection known. It provides an unparalleled opportunity to appreciate the richness and diversity of the art of enamelling during the past three centuries, ranging from the imposing work of Qing dynasty China and Meiji Japan, to the magnificent creations of Romanov Russia and the royal courts of Europe and the East. Formed with the innovative criterion of considering the subject in a globally, it covers work from all major centres of production, allowing the enamelwork of a specific country to be viewed within its own context and as part of a wider history. This volume presents over three hundred pieces from the collection. The survey starts with an account of the evolution and refinement of the different enamelling techniques. Thereafter it studies the subject thematically, considering the impact of patronage and travel, as well as the role of nationalism in the development of historical revivalism. The enamelwork of China, Japan, the Islamic Lands and Europe are examined both in terms of local development and the assimilation of foreign influence. The history of three firms is reviewed in greater focus - Jean George Rémond, Fabergé and Cartier. Representing different periods within three hundred years covered by the collection, the character of these firms, though largely shaped by the genius of their directors, was also formed by the era in which they flourished. Whether looking at the subject in general or in detail, the reader is presented with an illuminating display of the great technical skill and creative ingenuity of the enamellers of the world. The volume is accompanied by a CD that presents the Khalili Collection of 'Enamels of the World 1700-2000' in its entirety.

Международный бестселлер историка Хелен Раппапорт – уникальная биография о частной жизни дочерей последнего русского императора.Что значит родиться в династии Романовых? Повседневная жизнь четырех дочерей Николая II разрушает все романтические представления о пышности царского двора. Рожденные императрицей в отчаянной надежде подарить стране наследника престола, великие княжны и после рождения брата стали заложницами его болезни. Стремясь скрыть состояние цесаревича Алексея, семья Николая II вела затворнический образ жизни – что напрямую отразилось на ее трагичной судьбе. Страна ничего не знала ни о великих княжнах, ни о том, какими семейными людьми были Николай и Александра, лично растившие детей вдали от любой роскоши.Какими были четыре дочери последнего русского царя? Чем интересовались, как проводили время и в кого влюблялись? Какая атмосфера царила внутри семьи Романовых? На основе дневниковых записей княжон и других уникальных архивных материалов историк Хелен Раппапорт воссоздает привычки и занятия, страсти и увлечения девушек. А повседневная жизнь последних Романовых, обрастая новыми красками и подробностями, получает новое прочтение – как история о семейных ценностях и крепости семейных уз.«Что мне всегда нравилось в книгах Хелен Раппапорт, так это то, что они обращаются не только к разуму, но и к сердцу. Она писательница с большим состраданием». – Люси Уорсли, британский историк, писательница, главный хранитель исторических королевских дворцов«Раппапорт демонстрирует в "Дневниках княжон Романовых" энциклопедические знания обо всех мелочах семейной жизни Николая и Александры. Ее книга – это исследование, ярко демонстрирующее крепость семейных уз». – The TelegraphВ формате PDF A4 сохранен издательский макет книги.

Indringend portret van de vier Romanov prinsessen ‘Beeldend en schitterend verteld, dit is verhalende geschiedenis op zijn best.’ – The Bookseller In de vroege ochtend van woensdag 17 juli 1918 wordt het gezin van de laatste tsaar van Rusland wakker gemaakt door hun bewakers, met het bevel zich aan te kleden. Ze krijgen te horen dat ze naar beneden moeten verhuizen om veilig te zijn voor de onrust en het artillerievuur in de stad, en doen zonder meer wat ze gezegd wordt. In een ordelijke rij lopen de vier zusjes, de oudste drieëntwintig, de jongste nog maar zeventien, met hun vader, moeder en broertje over de houten trap vanuit hun kamers naar beneden en over het erf naar een smerig keldervertrek. Het zijn hun laatste stappen. De vier zussen Romanov waren begin 20e eeuw de meest besproken en gefotografeerde prinsessen van Europa – de prinsessen Diana van hun tijd. De betoverende zusjes werden bewonderd om hun uiterlijk, hun kleding en hun levensstijl. In De gezusters Romanov zet de gerenommeerde biografe Helen Rappaport de tot nu toe door historici genegeerde zussen centraal in een tragisch familiedrama, gebruikmakend van dagboeken, brieven en andere bronnen uit de eerste hand. Ze schetst een levendig beeld van het leven in de nadagen van het Russische tsarenrijk, over hun afgeschermde en geprivilegieerde bestaan, hun eerste liefdes, over hun hoop en dromen, het moeizame gezinsleven en uiteindelijk het trauma van de revolutie en hun gruwelijke dood. Helen Rappaport is een Britse historicus en schrijfster die zich specialiseert in het revolutionaire Rusland. Ze schreef meerdere internationale bestsellers. Momenteel werkt ze aan een boek over het dagelijks leven van buitenlandse inwoners in St. Petersburg ten tijde van de Russische Revolutie dat in 2017 zal verschijnen.
