She was the great-grandmother of Europe. Her descendants sit on thrones across the continent to this day. But Princess Louise of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg was all but written out of history.Fascinating, rigorously researched and vividly told...[a] groundbreaking biography. - Dr Anna WhitelockAn invaluable study of the little-known Princess without whom the course of British and European history would have been so very different. Robert HardmanIn 1846, the eyes of the British royal family fall on the small village of Pfeffelbach in western Germany. It is here, in a church that is crumbling before them, that the mother of Prince Albert, Queen Victorias husband, was laid to rest and forgotten about. And it is time to bring her home.Married off at 16 to the 33-year-old Duke Ernst Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, Louise bore two sons, Ernst and Albert, but her unhappy marriage led to her banishment, divorce, and loss of her children. She died alone at just 31, her reputation destroyed by court gossip and political intrigue. Was she a fallen woman, or a victim of royal machinations? And was Prince Albert truly Ernsts son?Princess Louise played a crucial role in the rise of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, but while her son Albert entered history, she was removed from it. Based on a decade of original research, A Royal Outcast is the first English-language biography to explore the life and legacy of Princess Louise of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg the woman the royal family tried to bury to save Prince Alberts reputation.

From the bestselling author of the Time Travellers Guides In these sparkling A to Zs, time-travelling historian Ian Mortimer visits four classic periods of English history: the fourteenth century, the Elizabethan age, the Restoration and the Regency. As he ranges from the Great Plague to the Great Freeze, from Armada to Austen, and from tobacco to toenails, he shines a light into corners of history we never knew were so fascinating -- or so revealing of the whole. How did the button change life in the Middle Ages? If you found yourself at a smart Elizabethan party, should you kiss your hostess on the lips? Why were pistols safer than swords in a duel? And how come Regency Londoners quaffed so much port? This is Mortimer at his accessible and witty best. As ever, his aim is not only to bring the past to life but also to illuminate our own times.

The Risorgimento, the period of nation-state formation, has always had particular significance not only in the historiography of Italy but also for the transnational and comparative history of the founding of nation-states. Gabriele Clemens presents a new, up-to-date and well-founded overview of the history of the Risorgimento. Her account covers an entire century of Italian history, beginning around 1770, before the French Revolution, and ending in 1870 with the conquest of Rome by the troops of the burgeoning nation state. This balanced and highly readable account combines the perspective of political cultural history with an economic and social historical approach. At the same time, it offers new interpretations, for example on the roles played by the nobility and the bourgeoisie. It questions the established claim that the masses were mobilized by means of art, music and literature and critically analyses the significance of Garibaldi, the man and the myth. The path to the nation state is described as the work of a state-supporting elite that acts consistently in transnational networks.

Rich with cultural detail, the book highlights the elegance and struggles of a class that stood between aristocracy and peasantry, preserving tradition while facing the pressures of modernity. Part memoir, part social study, it is both an affectionate portrait and a valuable historical record of Hungary at the dawn of the 20th century.
