The Royal Throne of Mercy and British Culture in the Victorian Age
Author: James Gregory
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 135014245X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 431
Book Description
In the first detailed study of its kind, James Gregory's book takes a historical approach to mercy by focusing on widespread and varied discussions about the quality, virtue or feeling of mercy in the British world during Victoria's reign. Gregory covers an impressive range of themes from the gendered discourses of 'emotional' appeal surrounding Queen Victoria to the exercise and withholding of royal mercy in the wake of colonial rebellion throughout the British empire. Against the backdrop of major events and their historical significance, a masterful synthesis of rich source material is analysed, including visual depictions (paintings and cartoons in periodicals and popular literature) and literary ones (in sermons, novels, plays and poetry). Gregory's sophisticated analysis of the multiple meanings, uses and operations of royal mercy duly emphasise its significance as a major theme in British cultural history during the 'long 19th century'. This will be essential reading for those interested in the history of mercy, the history of gender, British social and cultural history and the legacy of Queen Victoria's reign.

Book Description
Noor Alzahrani is my name. I was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. As I speak, I stand convicted of murdering my brute of a husband, Ibrahim Al-Shehri. I'm at Deera Square in Riyadh, about to be executed. How did I get here ? It has to do with my life-changing romance with Omar Augustin, a handsome Haitian student I met at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario. We fell in love, and from that moment on, my life would never be the same. I wanted to be Omar's wife and bear him children, never mind the fact that he's Black and not a Muslim, and I'm a Saudi Arabian Muslim woman from a reputable family. I chose duty over love, breaking Omar's heart, and returned to Saudi Arabia to marry a man I did not love. In these, my final hours, I reflect on all the wonders and horrors that I've experienced in my brief life.
