K4 - A hardcover book SIGNED by Antonia Fraser on the front free endpaper in very good condition in very good dust jacket that is mylar protected. Dust jacket has some wrinkling and crease on the edges and corners, some scattered scratches, rubbing and scuffing, light tanning and shelf wear. Book has some bumped corners, wrinkling on the spine edges, light discoloration and shelf wear. 9.5"x6.5", 347 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. 'Remember, remember, the fifth of November.' The Gundpowder Plot of 1605 is one of the most commemorated events in English history. Yet this astonishing episode remains shrouded in mystery and the subject of passionate argument. The central aim of Antonia Fraser's rich and immensely readable book is to explain why there should have been a plot at all, and to understand why the courageous, idealistic, but terrifyingly misguided conspirators risked their lives for what they believed to be the cause of God and their country. Although Guy Fawkes is today the name best known for the thirteen conspirators, the plot was conceived and masterminded by the charismatic Catholic, Robert Catesby. Against the background of Elizabeth I's death and James I's accession, Antonia Fraser reveals the underlying motive of these men, including the gallant Sir Everard Digby the wealthy young Ambrose Rookwood and the Wintour brothers. Together, they came close to blowing up the House of Parliament and with them the King and Royal family. She brings to life the harsh condition endured by 029781348Xhe persecuted Catholic community, especially their illegal priests, condemned to secret refuges in safe Catholic houses (some of which still survive today), and an extensive cast of characters, not least the courageous Catholic women, with her usual biographical skill. Antonia Fraser has recreated the drama of the Gunpowder Plot in a narrative which reads like a gripping detective story. With sympathy and objectivity she untangles the intricate relationship between religion and politics in the early seventeenth century. Above all, she brings the distant events surrounding that fateful night of 5 November 1605 to dramatic life in ways which have an eerie resemblance to our own times, when the relationship of terrorism to idealism is till under dispute..

Imprint: LONDON.WEIDENFELD & NICOLSON,1988. UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn.NMINT/NMINT.No owner inscrptn,and no price-clip to dw/dj. UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn,383pp,includes chapter reference notes,an index,54 b/w illus,16 colour illus. Boadicea is a living legend everyone knows her story: the stark tale of her stand against the Romans thrills and horrifies each generation.Fraser moves on from examining facts about Boadicea to her 'chariot',the symbol of the journey through history of an infinite variety of Warrior Queens,found in almost every culture.On one hand she recounts the stories of diverse national heroines as Zenobia of Palmyra,Isabella of Spain, Elizabeth I,Queen Jinga of Angola, Catherine the Great and the Rani of Jhansi,right up to the 20thC democratically elected 'Warrior Queens' - Indira Ghandi,Golda Meir and that formidable exponent of the role in our day,Margaret Thatcher. On the other hand she examines,in terms of their history,the themes which occur and re-occur in different civilisations and circumstances: The Tomboy Syndrome,for example,by which the adult Warrior Queen is often granted a mythical 'tomboy' past, or the Shame Syndrome,by which the courage of the Warrior Queen is contrasted with the weakness of the males around her. Sexuality is also a constant theme,as the Warrior Queen is sometimes seen as preternaturally chaste,sometimes as unnaturally voracious - the same female leader on occasion being the subject of both accusations.A remarkable and original work which casts a new light on the familiar heroines of history; and the whole subject of female leadership in time of war.

Antonia Fraser's first collection of short stories is a feast of mingled delight and suspense,for aficionados and others.There are five Jemima Shore stories including the first ever Jemima Shore mystery in which she is involved at the age of fifteen whilst still at her convent school,which featured many years later in 'Quiet as a Nun' - the first full-length Jemima Shore novel - using the same setting and some of the same characters. Jemima is at her sparkling best as she solves the case of the Parr children up in a remote corner of the Scottish Highlands; and elegantly deals with the case of a missing bride on a romantic Venetian honeymoon.Nor is she afraid to get wet at the Holland Pools where in-laws feud and plot in the cubicles; and relatives are also closely involved in the murder at Arcangelo's Salon,where Jemima has her hair done. . . . Among the other riches are four 'real crime' stories - very much on the domestic front.There is the wicked stepmother, Paulina,in 'Death of an Old Dog',the death of a cat is central in another story featuring a loving mother,and there is the case involving Emily who is threatened by a stepfather.We cross the Atlantic for a witty yet sinister tale of literary life, 'Have a Nice Death!' Antonia Fraser then moves on to mystery: the ghostly visitor to the bedroom of two children; another child Johnny,whose mother is not as robust as she might be; the mother on her own,who has problems with her Mini; and finally a sophisticated tale about a group of friends holidaying in Tuscany.Most of these novellas have already appeared in various other magazines and anthologies. Author's 6th published book and uncommon. Please contact seller for correct shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page! Stock number: rja423912.

Imprint: Doubleday, 2001 Never before has the life of Marie Antoinette been told so intimately and w ith such authority as in Antonia Fraser's newest work, Marie Antoinette: Th e Journey. Famously known as the eighteenth-century French queen whose exce sses have become legend, Marie Antoinette was blamed for instigating the Fr ench Revolution. But the story of her journey begun as a fourteen- year-old sent from Vienna to marry the future Louis XVI to her courageous defense be fore she was sent to the guillotine reveals a woman of greater complexity a nd character than we have previously understood. We stand beside Marie Anto inette and witness the drama of her life as she becomes a scapegoat of the Ancien Regime when her faults were minor in comparison to the punishments i nflicted on her. The youngest daughter, fifteenth out of sixteen children, of Austrian empress Maria Teresa and Francis I, Marie Antoinette was sent on a literal journey by her mother from Vienna to Versailles with the expectation that she would further Austrian interests at all times. Yet, Marie Antoinette was by nature far from interested in state affairs and much more inclined to exert a gracious, philanthropic role, patronizing the arts especially music, as royalty would come to behave in the nineteenth century. Despite this the French accused her of political interference and wrote scandalous tracts against her, mocking her lack of sophistication. Meanwhile, longing for a family and the birth of an heir who would have cemented the Franco-Austro alliance, the French queen had to endure more than eight years of public humiliation for her barren marriage before the delivery of her fi, Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000038448.
