Circled with Stone: Exeter's City Walls, 1485-1660
ISBN: 9780859897273 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Circled with Stone is the most comprehensive study to date of the fortifications of an early modern English city. The culmination of some twenty years of archaeological and documentary research, it provides a richly detailed portrait of the ancient system of walls, towers and gates which ringed the city of Exeter during the Tudor and early Stuart periods. The book traces the development of the fortifications over time, explores the many purposes which they served, and shows how they were defended against a series of major attacks: most notably during the Prayer Book rebellion of 1549...

The Black Legend of Prince Rupert's Dog: Witchcraft and Propaganda During the English Civil War
ISBN: 9780859898591 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This compelling book from Mark Stoyle sets out to uncover the true history of Boy, the canine companion of Charles I's famous nephew, Prince Rupert. Like his master, Boy was held to possess dark powers and was elevated to celebrity status as a 'dog-witch' during the English Civil War of 1642-46. Many scholars have remarked upon the fantastical rumours which circulated about Prince Rupert and his dog, but no-one has investigated the source of these rumours, or explored how the supernatural element of the prince's public image developed over time. In this book, Mark Stoyle recounts the occult...

Loyalty And Locality: Popular Allegiance in Devon during the English Civil War
ISBN: 9780859894289 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume is a study of popular behaviour during the English Civil War. The book makes three claims. The first is that English counties did not behave as homogeneous units during the conflict of 1642-46, but that they divided instead along regional lines, certain areas supporting Parliament, others supporting the King. The second is that this general rule applied to cities too, and that in urban communities it is possible to discern both 'Royalist' and 'Parliamentarian' parishes. The third is that these internal divisions were not simply temporary alignments, conjured up by extraordinary...

West Britons: Cornish Identities and the Early Modern British State
ISBN: 9780859896887 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. West Britons provides a fresh interpretation of the bloodiest, most devastating years in Cornwall's history and a wholly new perspective on the history of the far South West of Britain. The book explores the unprecedented series of rebellions which took place in Cornwall between 1497 and 1648, traces the connections which existed between those revolts and the contemporary Cornish perception of themselves as a separate 'people', and argues that Cornish history must be viewed within a 'British', rather than a purely English context. West Britons will be required reading for all those who are...

From Deliverance to Destruction: Rebellion and Civil War in an English City (Exeter)
ISBN: 9780859894784 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is a study of the city of Exeter during the Great Civil War of 1642-46; it offers a lively, immediate account of how one English city slid, inexorably, into the chaos of civil war. The book shows how Exeter's inhabitants first began to dissent from each other over religious issues, then became divided into two warring camps, and finally, after three years of bitter conflict, witnessed much of the ancient city being destroyed about their ears. The main text is accompanied by a generous collection of transcripts from original seventeenth-century documents. These have been specially...
