Re: [Solo History] A History of the Papacy, Vol III by Mandell Creighton - loa
Sections 10 and 11 are pl ok. Tumultuous times and a powerful person hungry for more power bringing common people to the brink of starvation, then posing as a savior to bring them to submission--looks rather familiar.

Re: [Solo History] A History of the Papacy, Vol III by Mandell Creighton - loa
I agree, Pattymarie, and I love your word louche! Actually, I love the whole paragraph you wrote. Thanks! Pam :) That's the first time I've used that word in my own right. I learned it years ago from a woman applying it to some of the leaders of the crusades in a review of a book about those ventur...

Re: [Solo History] A History of the Papacy, Vol III by Mandell Creighton - loa
Sectıons 7 and 8 are pl ok. I loved Creighton's extensive and superbly articulate portrait of Aeneas's louche character eloquently limning a myriad of details that many people today would sum up with a vulgar epithet or two. Creighton's encapsulation of all Aeneas's disgraceful traits and deeds as &...

For me it's growing up in a time and place in which Latin was taught at the public high school and translating parts of the Aeneid, then reading the whole epic in English translation in college world lit.

Sections 5 and 6 are pl ok. I wonder how many people today know who Anchises was, or even Aeneas, at least in the mythology enshrined in the Aeneid.

Re: [Solo History] A History of the Papacy, Vol III by Mandell Creighton - loa
Section 2 pl notes: Oh dear, a teacher of English as a foreign language is jolted by the sound of an adjective where there should be an adverb as in the clause, "each strove to end its neutrality favourably to himself." It's found just a little way down from the mid-point of page 25 and, c...
