![]() Replacing Gibbon’s categories of decline and decadence with those of continuity and transformation has not only brought to the fore the concept of the Late Roman period, but has made the alleged hiatus between the Roman, Byzantine and Mediaeval ages less important, while also driving to the margins the question of the end of the Roman Empire. In recent years, a wide-ranging historiographic debate on Late Antiquity has also begun. Book excerpt: Late Antiquity, once known only as the period of protracted decline in the ancient world (Bas-Empire), has now become a major research area.

As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The story begins in May 1536: Anne Boleyn is dead, decapitated in the space of a heartbeat by a hired French executioner. She traces the final years of Thomas Cromwell, the boy from nowhere who climbs to the heights of power, offering a defining portrait of predator and prey, of a ferocious contest between present and past, between royal will and a common man's vision: of a modern nation making itself through conflict, passion and courage. The brilliant #1 New York Times bestseller Named a best book of 2020 by The New York Times, The Washington Post, TIME, The Guardian, and many more With The Mirror & the Light, Hilary Mantel brings to a triumphant close the trilogy she began with her peerless, Booker Prize-winning novels, Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies. ![]() ![]() ![]() When a date with Wyatt, a selfish but wildly attractive fellow musician, turns into a reputation-scarring disaster, Jane turns to the girls in the band for support and understanding. However, Jane's preconceptions about country music and Tennessee are challenged when she is befriended by ebullient Savannah and invited to play drums in the pit band for the school play. Convinced that she will never like anything about her new life in Nashville, former New Yorker Jane sets about alienating all the conformist "pastel people" at her new high school. ![]() Here it is rock 'n' roll that adds the all-important hip edge to the narrative. ![]() Like Modern Love (see above), this first installment of the planned Wild Hearts series centers on a topic near and dear to the MTV generation. ![]() ![]() ![]() He told stories of the founder of Edgar’s family, Tyttla, who had sailed with his loyal companions over waves like mountains to land on the shores of East Anglia, and there claimed his kingdom in the rich flat country so different from the barren dunes and marshes he had left behind: and of his son Wuffa, the little wolf, and his descendants, Anna and Sigeberht and the great Raedwald, ruler of all Britain, their deeds and victories, betrayals and deaths. Creatures flew, kings fought, death came with grim abundance from sword or axe or elf-shot. Under the spell of his voice and his music, dragons and monsters and heroes filled the thick air in the Hall, made flesh in Mabyn’s mind. ![]() ![]() And yet when he brought out his beautiful harp, with the strings that shivered like a maiden at his touch, he seemed to her to be master of a far greater power than her father possessed, commanding souls and hearts with a sweep of his hand. Beside his master’s golden glory, he looked humble and unimpressive, the sort of man, Mabyn thought, that you could meet in a crowd and immediately forget. ![]() Dena was a small, pod-bellied man in late middle age, with a head as brown and smooth as an egg, fringed with lank grizzled hair. ![]() ![]() Words, let us simply admit it, were always slippery and the problem is only exacerbated when shoddy speech becomes the norm. ![]() Think of Prufock, worrying himself into night sweats because his allusion to Lazarus might be misunderstood (“That is not what I meant at all, / That is not it at all.”) or of nearly any character in The Waste Land dangling uneasily between “memory and desire.” And it is surely among Eliot’s intentions that those more sophisticated than Sweeney Agonistes should also “wrestle” with one of the central questions of our age-namely, how making coherent sense becomes increasingly problematic. For even a consciousness as coarse as Sweeney’s has intimations about how fragile words, in fact, are. Eliot’s protagonist nonetheless identifies a problem that has high-brow implications, and the 20th-century jitters, written all over it. ![]() ![]() “I’ve gotta use words when I talk to you,” Apeneck Sweeney tells his girlfriend Doris as he tries to explain how it is that “death is life and life is death.” Though he dwells near the bottom of the cultural food chain, T.S. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is realistic, personal, and depicts the life of a common soldier without all the romantic dramatics so often portrayed in the movies. There are parts of Watkins’ history that are flawed and biased by personal opinion but the reader will fully enjoy this accounting of soldierly life stripped bare. Soldiers from any era would feel a kinship to Watkins as he describes following orders that at times made little sense. Students, historians, and avid readers will enjoy Watkins’ humor throughout his memoirs. Aytch was eventually produced as a whole in 1882, first edition. Originally, these memoirs were published serially in the Columbia Herald in 1881-1882. Watkins was a private in Company H, First Tennessee Regiment of the Confederate Army.
