    Da Elizabeth Bennet møder den rige ungkarl Fitzwilliam Darcy, synes hun, at han er både arrogant og indbildsk. Da hun også bliver klar over, at han har stukket en kæp i hjulet for hendes søster Janes kærlighed til hans ven Bingley, vokser hendes modvilje til direkte afsky.Men hvad hun ikke ved, er, at mr. Darcy meget mod sin vilje er blevet betaget af hendes kønne øjne og kvikke tunge, og at denne betagelse er ved at udvikle sig til en meget alvorlig forelskelse.Stolthed og fordom er en af verdenslitteraturens store kærlighedsromaner og en gnistrende satire over sladder og snobbethed i samtidens engelske middelklasse, hvor en mors eneste ambition var at få afsat sine giftefærdige døtre så fordelagtigt som muligt.Romanen er filmatiseret adskillige gange og foreligger med denne nyoversættelse på dansk i en uforkortet udgave.

    Sir Waldo Hawkridge, der i London er kendt som Legenden – blandt andet på grund af sine store sportspræstationer og gode manerer – skal til Yorkshire for at se på en ejendom, han har arvet. Den rige og filantropiske Sir Waldo har planer om at istandsætte det store hus og lave det om til børnehjem. Mens han er der, møder han den smukke og temperamentsfulde, men også egoistiske, adelsfrøken Tiffany Wield, og hendes langt mere elegante, unge guvernante Ancilla Trent. Mens Waldos noget yngre fætter, lord Julian Lindeth, forblændes af den unge Tiffany, må Waldo forsøge at overbevise den praktisk anlagte og fornuftige miss Trent om, at hun godt må forelske sig i ham …Den engelske forfatterinde Georgette Heyer (1902-1974) er bedst kendt for sine historiske romaner, som foregår i sidste halvdel af 1700-tallet og første halvdel af 1800-tallet. Hun udgav sin første roman som 19-årig og blev hurtigt populær blandt læserne. Heyer har, af eftertiden, især fået ros for sin evne til at ramme tonen og detaljerne i de historiske miljøer, hun beskriver.

    The best-selling author of Black Flags, Blue Waters tells the story of a wild encounter between an American sealing vessel, a shipwrecked British brig and a British warship in the Falkland Islands during the War of 1812. Fraught with misunderstandings and mistrust, the incident left three British sailors and two Americans-including the captain of the sealer, Charles H. Barnard-abandoned in the Falklands for eighteen months. A tale of intriguing complexity, with surprising twists and turns throughout-involving greed, lying, bullying, a hostile takeover, stellar leadership, ingenuity, severe privation, endurance, banishment, the great value of a dog, the birth of a baby, a perilous thousand-mile open-ocean journey in a seventeen-foot boat, an improbable rescue mission and legal battles over a dubious and disgraceful wartime prize-Left for Dead shows individuals in wartime under great duress acting both nobly and atrociously and offers a unique perspective on an important moment in American history.

  • af Carl Benn
    137,95 kr.

    In this fully illustrated introduction, acclaimed historian Carl Benn examines the War of 1812 and its significance in US history. The war of 1812-1815 was a bloody confrontation that tore through the American frontier, the British colonies of Upper and Lower Canada, and parts of the Atlantic coast and the Gulf of Mexico. The conflict saw British, American, and First Nations forces clash, and in the process, shape the future of North American history. Carl Benn explains what led to America's decision to take up arms against Great Britain and assesses the three terrible years of fighting that followed on land and sea, where battles such as Lake Erie and Lake Champlain launched American naval traditions.This new edition has been updated throughout to draw on the research and advances in scholarship in the two decades since original publication in 2002. Benn examines how this has not only impacted basic assumptions of force size and battle dates in some cases, but has also drawn attention to subjects that had previously been overlooked. Fully illustrated in colour with specially commissioned maps and 50 new images, this book provides an accessible overview of the War of 1812.

    Die Existenz einer politischen, teilweise im Geheimen agierenden Polizei war in nachträglichen Bewertungen des napoleonischen ¿Modellstaats¿ auf deutschem Boden für ehemalige Untertanen besonders relevant. Von der Forschung wurde zwar bisher die Diskrepanz zwischen Anspruch und Wirklichkeit der französischen Politik im Satellitenstaat ausgiebig bedacht, nicht aber die Rolle der staatlichen Polizei. Bei der vorliegenden Studie stehen die Akteure im napoleonisch regierten, aber selbstverwalteten Königreich Westphalen im Fokus ¿ und damit das Aufeinandertreffen der Untertanen und Machtvollzieher im lokalen Raum. Zwang und Eigeninteresse, soziale Hintergründe, nationale Zugehörigkeit und Geschlecht prägten die Herrschaftsverhältnisse und Herrschaftspraktiken und deren emotionale Aufladung.

    Though much has been written about the Civil War, relatively little modern historical fiction is written from a Southern point of view. Stories of the Confederate South is a collection of short fiction presenting a variety of Southern characters, events, and issues, and it does so from a uniquely Southern perspective. Pittman carefully researched diaries, biographies, historical events, military records, and social trends to present a collection of stories that tells the story of the true South during and after the War Between the States.

    A Comprehensive History of the Most Important Native American Resistance Movement The Shawnee leader Tecumseh came to prominence in a war against the United States waged from 1811 to 1815. In 1805, Tecumseh's younger brother Lalawethika (soon to be known as "the Prophet") had a vision for an Indian revitalization movement that would restore Native culture and resist American expansion. Tecumseh organized the growing support for this movement, which came from Indigenous peoples across the Old Northwest and parts of the Great Plains, into a loose but powerful military alliance. In late 1811, while Tecumseh was away on a recruiting mission in the South, General William Henry Harrison led an army to the center of Native resistance at Prophetstown in present-day Indiana. In the early morning hours of November 7, in what came to be known as the Battle of Tippecanoe, Harrison's men fought off an Indian attack, which marked the beginning of Tecumseh's War. Seven months later, when the United States declared war on Britain, thus initiating the War of 1812, the British and Tecumseh forged an alliance against the United States. Initially, the Anglo-Indian alliance enjoyed considerable success at Detroit, Chicago, Mackinac, and elsewhere, exposing much of the Old Northwest to border warfare, but the tide turned in 1813 when Harrison invaded Canada. On October 5 the American army defeated a much smaller Anglo-Indian force in the climactic Battle of the Thames. Tecumseh was killed in this battle, and although his confederacy disintegrated, British support ensured that the Indian war would continue for another two years with the Sauk chief Black Hawk now providing the inspiration and leadership. Tecumseh's War ended only in late 1815 after the British made peace with the United States and abandoned their native allies. Tecumseh's War: The Epic Conflict for the Heart of America is the first complete story of this major conflict. Distinguished historian Donald R. Hickey detaches it from the War of 1812, moving Tecumseh's confederation to center stage to tell the sweeping and engrossing story of this last great Indian War--the last time that Indigenous Peoples had a powerful European ally to oppose United States expansion and thus the lastchance they had of shaping the future of the continent.

    "Perhaps no other single day in US history was as threatening to the survival of the nation as August 24, 1814, when British forces captured Washington, DC. It is a unique moment in American history that might have significantly altered the nation's path forward, but the event and the reasons why it happened are little remembered by most Americans. The British conquest of Washington, DC during the War of 1812 happened because of inept American leadership, a poorly trained and equipped military, and a lack of foresight. The burning of federal building, including the White House and Capitol, reversed a decade and a half of work to build the capital city. The humiliation of a foreign army eating dinner at the president's table and the flight of the federal government reopened old questions about the survival of the United States, what kind of government it would have, and where its capital should be located. Yet the British invasion was repulsed over the coming weeks and months, and from the ashes of the capital city, the United States ultimately emerged stronger. Robert P. Watson tells this almost forgotten history and probes questions about the American calamity, British motives, and what it all meant for the United States"--

    By: James D. Walker, Pub. 1840, 666 pages, Index, soft cover, ISBN #978-1-63914-00-9.Illinois has had quite the interesting history to statehood in 1818. French Canadian explorers starting arriving in the late 1600's via the Mississippi River. They established missions and forts along various rivers before retreating back into what is now Missouri. This allowed the British to take rule over these lands from the French. After the Revolutionary War, settlers began arriving from Kentucky in the 1780's via the Ohio River. In 1812, tensions between these settlers and the Native American came to an impasse. U.S. troops would eventually prevail and 5 million acres of land in this Illinois Territory were set aside to pay for these services. Information to be found within this book: date of patent, its Warrant Number, name of the veteran along with his rank and regiment, description of land including its location, name of the patentee recipient, many time giving his last know city and state of residence, and date of delivery of the patent. By knowing this warrant number, the researcher can then acquire photocopies of the veterans service records. The amount of information contained in the Bounty Land Warrant Application Files varies greatly. In claims made by their heirs, the Veteran's service, date and place of death, relationship to the veteran, and if appropriate, the date and place of death of remarriage of widow is given. In support of many claims, discharge certificates and various personal documents were submitted to prove marriage and to establish dependency.

    Unshackling America challenges the persistent fallacy that Americans fought two separate wars of independence. Willard Sterne Randall documents an unremitting fifty-year-long struggle for economic independence from Britain overlapping two armed conflicts linked by an unacknowledged global struggle. Throughout this perilous period, the struggle was all about free trade. Neither Jefferson nor any other Founding Father could divine that the Revolutionary Period of 1763 to 1783 had concluded only one part, the first phase of their ordeal. The Treaty of Paris of 1783 at the end of the Revolutionary War halted overt combat but had achieved only partial political autonomy from Britain. By not guaranteeing American economic independence and agency, Britain continued to deny American sovereignty. Randall details the fifty years and persistent attempts by the British to control American trade waters, but he also shows how, despite the outrageous restrictions, the United States asserted the doctrine of neutral rights and developed the world's second largest merchant fleet as it absorbed the French Caribbean trade. American ships carrying trade increased five-fold between 1790 and 1800, its tonnage nearly doubling again between 1800 and 1812, ultimately making the United States the world's largest independent maritime power.
