Black and white map at rear, 122pp. 21.5 x 14cm. Edges a little foxed, original wrappers browned in places, overall a very good copy. An impassioned essay examining the marginalisation of ethnic Hungarians separated from the Kingdom of Hungary by the Treaty of Trianon. Within, the author explores the status of the Hungarian minorities within the Little Entente nations of Romania, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia, concluding with a denunciation of a perceived double standard held by the League of Nations regarding self-determination. At rear, two topographic maps of the Pannonian Basin illustrate the territorial losses incurred by Hungary. The author's views have been clearly influenced by the triumphalistic, irredentist narrative peddled by the Horthy regime, though they have been expressed in seemingly intuitive, pacifistic terms amenable to the British public. Much of Gower's argument hinges on a purported desire to strengthen the credibility of the League of Nations by preventing undue discord in Central Europe, thus avoiding a wider conflict - albeit this aim is achieved by acceeding to the demands of a proto-fascist state.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The first English translation into verse of the full Vox Clamantis, with explanatory notes.John Gower's Vox Clamantis is one of the major poetic achievements of the Middle Ages. Its subject matter ranges from his dream-vision account of the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 to sharp critiques of the clergy, merchants, and lawyers, all with the intention of teaching the lessons of the past as a guide to the present. In Gower's view, everything that is and happens must be read and interpreted for the guidance God provides: history, Scripture and nature are replete with auguries sent by God to guide rulers if they but learn to read them. Ultimately for Gower, rulers - and we ourselves - are responsible for our own choices, for good or ill.This line-by-line translation from the original Latin into Modern English is intended for a wide audience, and to be easily readable by scholars and non-scholars alike. It replicates Gower's Latin meter as closely as possible in English, uses straightforward language, and clarifies many difficult points of medieval legal theory, Classical allusion, and theological interpretation heretofore left unexplained in any previous attempts, full or partial, to translate the poem. Extensive notes trace Gower's sources, from Ovid to Peter Riga's Aurora to Alexander Nequam's De Naturis rerum to Nigel Wireker's Speculum Stultorum and the Bible, among many others. Classical and Biblical allusions are identified and fully but succinctly explained. This book also includes the "Letter to Arundel", translated in verse for the first time. The first English translation into verse of the full Vox Clamantis, with explanatory notes. This item is printed on demand.
