Arthur, Origins, Identities and the Legendary History of Britain
Author: Jean Blacker
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 900469188X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 579
Book Description
Geoffrey of Monmouth’s immensely popular Latin prose Historia regum Britanniae (c. 1138), followed by French verse translations – Wace’s Roman de Brut (1155) and anonymous versions including the Royal Brut, the Munich, Harley, and Egerton Bruts (12th -14th c.), initiated Arthurian narratives of many genres throughout the ages, alongside Welsh, English, and other traditions. Arthur, Origins, Identities and the Legendary History of Britain addresses how Arthurian histories incorporating the British foundation myth responded to images of individual or collective identity and how those narratives contributed to those identities. What cultural, political or psychic needs did these Arthurian narratives meet and what might have been the origins of those needs? And how did each text contribute to a “larger picture” of Arthur, to the construction of a myth that still remains so compelling today?

Corporate Disclosures
Author: Shankar Jaganathan
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000087204
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
Spanning over two millennia of time and five continents of space, this book narrates the unfolding of financial and business reporting. The first part of the book traces the origin of the 'company' as a form of organization and the evolution of bookkeeping. The second part: The Accounting Edifice, depicts events that led to the disclosure of the balance sheet, the profit and loss account, cash flow statements and the practice of auditing. In the third part: Reaching out to the Shareholders, the author explores the need for governance, reporting of intangible assets and the emergence of annual reports. Indian Corporate Disclosures, the fourth and the last part, sketches the panorama of post-independent dvelopments in Indian corporate disclosures using heritage IT companies, Wipro and Infosys as examples. The last chapter of the book contrasts disclosures by the Indian Sensex companies in 2007 with the best global practices.

The Beginning of American Independence
Author: Jerry A. Maddox
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 146705058X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
A non-fiction account of the real reasons why the American Revolution started over one hundred years before 1776. While many historians believe that the British Proclamation and the Quartering Act of 1763, the Sugar Act of 1764, and the Stamp Act of 1765 enacted by the British led to colonial resistance to Bristish rule with the Boston Tea party of 1773 and the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the author presents material to show that the desire for independence by Americans began as early as 1676 with Bacon's Rebellion and possibly before that when the Virginia government was organized in 1679.

The Oxford Edition of the Sermons of John Donne, Volume VII
Author: Peter McCullough
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198937830
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
Volume VII of The Oxford Edition of the Sermons of John Donne gathers sermons preached by Donne at different venues for the related liturgical occasions of marriages, christenings, and the churching of women after childbirth. The volume contains ten sermons, seven of them undated and, in the case of the christening sermons, also for parties unknown; one of the two churching sermons survives only in an authorially revised state as two separate -- but obviously coeval -- sermons. Longfellow and McCullough establish that these sermons were preached across almost the whole of Donne's preaching career, from among his earliest (ca. 1615-16) to 1627, four years before his death. In each case an authoritative text has been established by freshly collating multiple copies of the seventeenth-century print editions, as well as multiple manuscript copies which predate the print witnesses. For the first time, these sermons appear with full critical apparatus. The Introduction provides the first dedicated account of the place of sermons in the social, liturgical, and theological contexts of these occasions in post-Reformation England. A headnote to each sermon describes its textual state and supplies local historical, social, and intellectual context, and suggestions for further reading. Extensive commentaries document Donne's use of sources (both acknowledged and unacknowledged), translate passages in foreign languages, and gloss important and unfamiliar words. Although largely neglected by previous scholarship, these sermons emerge here as unique (the only known sermons for churchings), challenging (for views on women and marriage more conservative than many of Donne's contemporaries'), and as evidence of Donne's Calvinist sacramental theology and his anti-Catholicism. They are also fine examples of Donne's skill in crafting emotionally compelling sermons suited to the unique demands of both occasion and auditory.
