Name Unknown: The Life of a Rusian Queen
Author: Christian Raffensperger
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040030149
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Name Unknown: The Life of a Rusian Queen offers an example of an eastern European queen as a corrective to the western European focus of medieval queenship studies. Through a chronological approach, this book looks beyond the popular biographies of royal women such as Eleanor of Aquitaine and Berengaria of Castile and gathers material from sources throughout Europe. It engages with modern queenship studies literature to create a collective biography of a Rusian queen through the various cycles of her life from the marriage of eight-year-old Verkhuslava to the death of the ruler of Minsk whose generosity is recorded, but not her name. For medievalists interested in women and queens, Name Unknown: The Life of a Rusian Queen provides an entry point to an area of Europe rarely studied in that literature. For Slavists, it presents a way of looking at medieval Rusian women that has not yet appeared in this scholarly tradition. Ultimately, this biography integrates Rus, and eastern Europe, into the medieval world and acts as an important reminder that women are essential to our history and thus to our overall understanding of the past. This book is of great use to students and scholars interested in the history of women, queenship, and medieval Europe.

The Unknown Callas
Author: N. Petsal_s-Diom_d_s
Publisher: Hal Leonard Corporation
ISBN: 9781574670592
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 680
Book Description
(Amadeus). In this award-winning biography, Petsalis-Diomidis closely examines Maria Callas's life in Athens from 1937 to 1945. These years have been largely absent from previous works about Callas, but were crucial to her professional and personal growth. The author examines her professional development, her studies, her concertizing, and her work with the Greek National Opera. He also recounts Callas's daily life, her friendships, her rivalries at the conservatory, and her personal life. Though it is a detailed historical biography, the writing and pace are novelistic. HARDCOVER.

No Longer Unknown
Author: William Rowland , Marna Neal
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1499074816
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 141
Book Description
Visit any of the approximately 150 national military cemeteries in the United States, and collectively you will find nearly 1,000,000 headstones marking the final resting place of U.S. Military personnel killed in battles beginning with the Civil War to the present. Spend an extra few minutes reading the names on the headstones, and you will find representatives of every ethnic, religious, geographic, and societal group existing in America today. Their names, dates of birth and death, their military rank and last unit, and their home state are clearly carved in stone. That's only half the story. Lift your eyes, look around, and you will see other identical headstones--identical in shape and size but different in that these stones bear no name except "Unknown."
