Rulers and Ruling Families in Early Medieval Europe: Alfred, Charles the Bald, and Others
ISBN: 9780367197711 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. First published in 1999, the ideas and practices involved in early medieval royal family politics are the central theme of this collection of papers by Janet L. Nelson.

Howling Wilderness: The Indian Captivity of Ollie Spencer
ISBN: 9780989103404 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Colonel Oliver Spencer was a Revolutionary War hero forced by post-war poverty to homestead in the -far West,- in the Ohio Valley. This was a dangerous proposition, since Native Americans were numerous and still in possession of the land. In this true story, the American government tried several times to wrest the land in Ohio from the Indians, but the natives spectacularly defeated the first of the military expeditions sent against them. Then Wapawaqua, an Iroquois living with Shawnee Indians, kidnapped the Colonel's son, ten-year-old Ollie Spencer, as the boy returned home from a Fourth of...

Courts, Elites, and Gendered Power in the Early Middle Ages: Charlemagne and Others
ISBN: 9780754659334 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A major theme in the volume of articles by Janet Nelson is the usefulness of gender as a category of historical analysis. Papers range widely across early medieval time and geographical as well as social space, but most focus on the Carolingian period and on royalty and elites. The workings of dynastic political power are viewed in social as well as political context, and the author explores the realities of gendered power, which while constraining women, gave them distinctive possibilities for agency. These papers offer new perspectives on the Carolingian world in general and on...

Charles the Bald
ISBN: 9781138157507 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This important and long-awaited study is the first full-scale biography of Charlemagne's grandson, King of the West Franks from 843 to 877, and Emperor from 875. Posterity has not been kind to Charles or his age, seeing him as a fatally weak ruler in decadent times, threatened by Viking invaders and overmighty subjects. Janet Nelson, however, reveals an able and resourceful ruler who, under challenging conditions, maintained and enhanced royal authority, and held together the kingdom that, outlasting the Carolingians themselves, in due course became France.

In these essays Carolingian government is explored through the workings of courts and assemblies; through administrative texts; through contemporaries' historical writing; through the rituals, looking back to Roman times and reflecting the long continuity of administration in the areas constituting Francia that supplemented and reinforced social and political solidarities; and through the ideological and material dilemmas confronted by ninth-century churchmen: the material wealth of the church, a necessary precondition to its influence, attracted a variety of private interests that...

This fascinating and wide-ranging volume examines these questions through a study of lay involvement in literary and artistic activity in early medieval Europe.
