[Anonymous No.10034722]

>>10034707
desu, the power the English monarchy was pretty sporadic through the centuries. In the 11th and 12th centuries they were all powerful. In the 13th and 14th they were severely weakened. The Tudor monarchs were very unusually powerful for English monarchs. Given the changes during the 17th century, I fear such an event was inevitable.

But it wasn't as bad as the French Revolution thank god.

[Anonymous No.10034737]

>>10034722
I often argue with my mother about if Henry the 8th was good or bad. She being a Catholic is opposed to him and I being Protestant believe he was overall good.

Just because the Monarchy had to be torn down and weakened for it to live does not mean that those responsible aren't traitors.

The French revolution was/is a confusing subject. Obviously murdering your monarch and his family is wrong but it happened and everything after it happened too.

Nah, she's just doing this for fun, and not for attention or anything. Also, she posed in this position because it was the most comfortable and came naturally.

She's posing like that because she's having fun being sexy with the photographer, who may have even suggested she pose like that because to everyone who's not a kissless virgin or misandrist bulldyke feminist, they'll understand the spirit of it.

The book was specifically written for the laypleb, I actually thought it was pretty easy to read, and for the anon asking, I'd say it was pretty insightful on the topic of paychoanalytic dream interpretation because each author uses vast example of their own case study. Part 5 of the book is of an entire case study of the individuation process of a younger client who had yet to reach any sort of midlife crises/neurosis (somewhat relevant, explained in the book: they mostly dealt with older patients and sought to refute that as such only fully matured people could benefit from the practice) which gave a more thorough illustration of the entire individuation process through the evolutions of dream pattern and interpretation over time rather than just the conclusory highlight reel otherwise utilized throughout the other four parts of the book. It's fairly short too once you subtract all the pages of illustration.

Any suggestions for short-medium length English histories? Been considering "The english and their history" by Robert Tombs (~1000 pages) but am hoping to find something more like ~400 pages as a primer before reading anything meatier.

Unfortunately I'm fairly new to English historiography.

David Hume and Baron Macaulay are probably good places to start. But Trevelyan might be more accessible.

I drifted away from Hitch once I got out of high school and grew out of the edgy etheism reading, but decided to pick this up on a whim at a used bookstore not too long ago and just got around to starting it today. I remember listening to a young Hitch on CSPAN talking about Nelson Mandela back in the day, but my goodness, /lit/, I forgot just how damn fun and cheeky his political writings were.

Hitch brings the bantz. Would recommend.
