Bøger om År 1650 til 1659

Hvem kender ikke Svend Poulsen Gjønge, hans tro følgesvend Ib, Kulsoen, kaptajn Kernbok og alle de andre fra beretningen om den dansk/skånske frihedshelt (han kommer fra Gjöinge i Skåne), der bl. a. opererede på Sydsjælland under Svenskekrigene i 1600-tallet - om ikke andet, så fra de talrige mere eller mindre mishandlede udgaver for børn og unge, eller fra film og tv-serier. Her er han i al sin uforkortede glans, sammen med fortsættelsen Dronningens vagtmester, hvor Svend Gjønge og Ib har påtaget sig at bringe så mange som muligt af fru Elsebeths værdigenstande væk fra herregården Gjorslev - og fra den griske besættelsesmagt, først og fremmest repræsenteret ved kaptajn Esner, der ikke lader sig række en sølvkop uden straks at tilrane sig hele stellet. Det går naturligvis ikke stille af. Ib bliver fængslet på Gjorslev, og vor gamle bekendt Kulsoen har også sin grimme finger med i spillet her og der.

In 1644 the University of Copenhagen established its first anatomical theatre. In addition to the instruction of students, research was also carried out in the Anatomy House. Here Thomas Bartholin, the Professor of Anatomy, demonstrated the thoraic duct and later the lymphatic vessels in a human being, an achievement that has brought him fame. In 1662 Thomas Bartholin published A Short Description of the Anatomy House in Copenhagen, which meticulously describes the layout of the Anatomy House alongside the first eighteen years of its history. This volume presents Bartholin's book for the first time in English, as well as the original Latin text, enabling a broader audience to draw on its various and detailed accounts. A commentary and an introduction as well as rich body of illustrations make this edition a valuable resource for historians of medicine.Niels W. Bruun is a Senior Research Fellow at the Royal Library Copenhagen.

De to Karl Gustav-krige, 1657-58 og 1658-60, indledtes af hhv. Frederik III og Karl X Gustav, som ikke havde meget at lade hinanden høre, hvad angår hovmod og opportunisme. Men stormagterne så med fra sidelinjen, og da de var enige om, at et enkelt lands beherskelse af Øresund ville stille sig hindrende i vejen for handel i det lukrative Østersøområde, greb de ind - lidt til fordel for Danmark, men mest til landets decimering. Kjeld Hillingsø beskriver taktik og forløb set fra den militærhistoriske vinkel med fokus på de drabelige slag i København og ved Nyborg, så læseren er med i kampene fra bastion til voldgrav, fra vandløb til bakketop.

This book tells the early life of Samuel Dunche. He was born in the late sixteenth century into a well-respected family who had sat at the heart of Government since the times of Henry VIII. He was the third son and, as such, expected to play a supporting role of the family future. He lived in incredible times. A change of royal dynasty from Tudor to Stuart. Intense poverty and taxation at a time the middle classes began to emerge. The ever-present threat of plague and pestilence that culled swathes of the popula tion. A New World being discovered and the world's most famous playwright, William Shakespeare, at his peak. Conflicting religious beliefs between Catholicism and Protestantism fuelling national paranoia and the rise of extremist Puritanism and the ever-present fear of witches. Disillusion with the monarchy, leading to dissolu tion of the monarchy, regicide and Civil War. Through these times, Samuel survives and thrives despite family opposition and finds himself thrust into the heart of great events, shaping his perspective on what is right and wrong, just and unjust. He experiences torturous loss, becomes uncle to a young Oliver Cromwell and finds a love he could never have imagined. My motivation for this story lies not only in writing about the fascinating times that shaped modern Britain, but in a person al connection with Samuel. The first house he built and lived in with his wife, where he started his family, is called Hall Place in Sparsholt, Oxfordshire. It was built in 1623 and celebrates its quatercentenary this year. I own and live in this house today. 'If the walls could talk, what a story they would tell, ' I often say to myself. I hope to try and tell his story

Between 1639 and 1660, more than 1,000 places across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales were fortified. These included towns and villages, castles and manor houses, as well as new places of strength. They ranged in complexity from the simple strengthening of existing medieval walls to the sophisticated re-fortification of major towns. Often overlooked in the context of European military engineering, and in terms of the so-called 'military revolution' of the period, the design and construction of the Civil War fortress progressed during the period, evolving from the basic ditch and rampart of the early years of the fighting to the massive stone-built citadels of the Protectorate. Over half of these so-called 'fortified places' witnessed some sort of military action, although it is wrong to conclude that the fortress warfare of the period was purely about sieges. The Town Well Fortified is a brand-new study which looks at the strategic and tactical importance of fortifications, and their influence on the respective war effort of all sides, particularly in terms of logistics, and the concept of 'protected corridors' which connected key locations and dominated campaigns. The book also places the fortress in its geographical context, and considers how the local topography influenced placement and design. Given the years of peace enjoyed by much of the Three Kingdoms prior to the Civil Wars, it is no surprise that fortress construction was heavily influenced by European practice, although the fortified landscape prior to 1639, including a heritage stretching back as far as Roman times (and beyond), was also important.The design and construction of the fortifications is also considered, both in terms of the theory, especially from the military manuals of the time, and then the practice, including several contemporary and eyewitness accounts. The book also examines actual numbers, locations, and types of fortresses, including an assessment of the type of fort known as a 'sconce'.Secondary sources have been re-examined, and brought together with ongoing research, including recent archaeological investigations (which, among other things, consider just how earthworks were built), in this ground breaking-study which offers a fresh interpretation of the subject of fortresses during the Civil Wars. The use of up-to-date research is reflected in the book's spotlight on the current and yet largely unpublished investigations at King's Lynn, London, and the Isle of Man. But the inclusion of findings from the Civil War Fortifications Register project ensures this book genuinely encompasses the whole of Britain and Ireland.This is the result of more than thirty years of research, including the author's thorough and ongoing study of London's fortifications, the King's Lynn under Siege archaeological project, and the results from the development of a register identifying every place fortified during the Civil Wars across the entire British Isles.

This study centres around three leading military statesmen who served under Oliver Comwell but were also his kin and shared the experiences of the civil wars, John Disbrowe (1608-80), Henry Ireton (1611-51), and Charles Fleetwood (1618-92). It seeks to develop our picture of their positions from the context of their kin link to Cromwell and how their private worlds shaped their public roles, how kinship was part of the functioning of the Cromwellian state, how they were seen and presented, and how this impacted on their own lives, and their kin, before and after the Restoration.Cromwell's career can be explored further by considering figures in his kinship network to show how the public and private overlapped and influenced each other through their interaction before and after 1660. This study aims to consider the trajectory of elements of Cromwell's network and how its functioning and the interaction of its constituent parts over time shaped the politics of the years 1643 to 1660 but also how the survival of some networks after 1660 were continuing communities of those willing to own their memories of the civil wars, regicide, and Cromwell. A study of aspects of Cromwell's kin also provides examples of the continuities between those who resisted the Stuarts in the 1640s and 1650s and did so again in the 1680s.Suitable for specialists in the area and students taking courses on early modern British, European and American history as well as those with a more general interest in the period.

The ways in which women have historically authorized themselves to write on war has blurred conventionally gendered lines, intertwining the personal with the political. Women on War in Spain's Long Nineteenth Century explores, through feminist lenses, the cultural representations of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Spanish women's texts on war.Reshaping the current knowledge and understanding of key female authors in Spain's fin de sicle, this book examines works by notable writers - including Rosario de Acua, Blanca de los Rios, Concepcin Arenal, and Carmen de Burgos - as they engage with the War of Independence, the Third Carlist War, Spain's colonial wars, and World War I. The selected works foreground how women's representations of war can challenge masculine conceptualizations of public and domestic spheres. Christine Arkinstall analyses the works' overarching themes and symbols, such as honour, blood, the Virgin and the Mother, and the intersecting sexual, social, and racial contracts. In doing so, Arkinstall highlights how these texts imagine outcomes that deviate from established norms of femininity, offer new models to Spanish women, and interrogate the militaristic foundations of patriarchal societies.

Da den altid så forsagte og private kong Frederik den tredje hører, at den svenske konge har belejret København fra både land og sø, nægter han at lytte til sine rådgivere, som opfordrer ham til at flygte ud af byen, inden det er for sent. "Nej, jeg vil ikke flygte, jeg vil dø i min rede," lyder kongens berømte ord, der på ingen tid går byen rundt og giver Københavns borgere mod til at kæmpe mod svensken. Københavnerne tager kampen op, og en af dem, der går bravest til forsvaret af sin by, er Torsten Kofod, den unge søn af en afdød købmand. Da kongen møder Torsten, går det op for ham, at de to har mere tilfælles, end man skulle tro.Bogen er oprindeligt udgivet i 1909.Adolphine Fogtmann (1847-1934) var en dansk forfatter, der skrev en lang række romaner og børnebøger. Hun debuterede som forfatter i 1884 med romanen "Fra Munkebjerg", som hun skrev under pseudonymet Èdini. De fleste af hendes senere bøger udgav hun under sit eget navn.

L'intrigue couvre les aventures d'un pauvre gentilhomme, Hidalgo de la Manche, dénommé Alonso Quichano, obsédé par les livres de chevalerie, qu'il collectionne dans sa bibliothèque de façon maladive. Ceux-ci troublent son jugement au point que Quichano se prend un beau jour pour le chevalier errant Don Quichotte, dont la mission est de parcourir l'Espagne, pour combattre le mal et protéger les opprimés.À la fois roman médiéval -- un roman de chevalerie -- et roman de l'époque moderne alors naissante, le livre est une parodie des moeurs médiévales et de l'idéal chevaleresque, ainsi qu'une critique des structures sociales d'une société espagnole rigide et vécue comme absurde. Don Quichotte est un jalon important de l'histoire littéraire et les interprétations qu'on en donne sont multiples : pur comique, satire sociale, analyse politique. Il est considéré comme l'un des romans les plus importants de la littérature mondiale et comme le premier roman moderne.Le personnage, Alonso Quichano, est à l'origine de l'archétype du Don Quichotte, personnage généreux et idéaliste qui se pose en redresseur de torts

Until this book was published in 1974, many of the letters in this book between Charles I Prince Rupert his nephew and the leading Royalist commander had never been published.
