Book Description
A society with no grasp of its history is like a person without a memory. This is particularly true of the history of ideas. This book is an ideal introduction to the thinkers who have shaped Christian history and the culture of much of the world. Writing in a lively, accessible style, Jonathan Hill takes us on an enlightening journey from the first to the twenty first centuries. He shows us the key Christian thinkers through the ages - ranging from Irenaeus, Origen, Augustine and Aquinas through to Luther, Wesley, Kierkegaard and Barth - placing them in their historical context and assessing their contribution to the development of Christianity.

Book Description
This is the first book-length history of the classic French children’s author, the Comtesse de Ségur. Virtually unknown in the English-speaking world, in France, Ségur is a national icon and a cultural phenomenon. Generations of children have grown up reading her stories. This book combines a discussion of her life, her works, and their reception with a broader analysis of the cultural context of the mid-nineteenth century. It offers a unique insight into the political engagement of Catholic women through the medium of children’s literature and education, and brings out new aspects of the history of publishing aimed at children, with particular reference to the market for books for girls. With its lively subject matter and accessible style, this book will appeal not only to scholars of nineteenth-century France, but also to specialists and students interested in the fields of children’s literature, gender studies, and religious history.

Book Description
Excerpt from A King's Favourite Madame Du Barry: And Her Times From Hitherto Unpublished Documents "Romance is only history in miniature; history is the true romance carried to the highest point of development." To no history is this saying of M. Paul Bourget more applicable than to that of the times of Madame Du Barry. The story of her life, merely the outline of her career - her origin, rise to favour, disgrace and death - surpasses in interest the whole romantic biography of womanhood; but to be of full value such an account must above all be truthful and free from the arts of the romancer. Until recently the memory of this fair transgressor has been marked chiefly by its lack of truth. Apart from the equal right of all historical personalities to justice of treatment, it is a matter of importance to have exact knowledge of their character and the part they played, the more so when the judgment pronounced on them is used to condemn a sovereign, a reign, or even a whole century. The celebrated book of the Goncourts, for instance, puerile and false as it is, has long been held authoritative: "The people must lose their faith and their illusions when they hear of the exploits of this girl, as for instance when, excited by champagne, she breaks the windows of the il-de-B uf ... Madame Du Barry is mischievous like the courtesan she is, who pursues her calling and obeys her instincts. ... Involuntarily by her very nature she brings into discredit all that comes into contact with her. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
