Krátky popis
From the bestselling author of FEMINA, a brilliant reappraisal of
the medieval women whose lives have been exploited over centuries
for political, nation-building ends.In LEGENDA, bestselling
historian Professor Janina Ramirez peels back the layers of time to
reveal how the identities of women have been co-opted by those
intent on crafting national identities. Their names are well-known,
and summaries of their achievements have been recited in classrooms
for decades, but medieval women like Joan of Arc, Lady Godiva and
Isabella of Castile have been misrepresented, their stories twisted
and weaponised. Meanwhile, ground-breaking 18th and 19th-century
women who blazed a trail through revolutionary Europe have been
forgotten, their legacies too easily dismissed or
ignored.Questioning established narratives and searching for the
real women behind the legends, Ramirez interrogates what defines a
nation and who gets to build it, shining a light on how history is
so often hijacked to serve the ideological and political interests
of the present.PRAISE FOR JANINA RAMIREZ:'Ramirez blasts a powerful
spotlight into the so-called Dark Ages and reveals a vibrant world,
awash with colour and character' DAN SNOW'Like the interlace
stonework on an Anglo-Saxon cross, Janina Ramirez's themes are
interwoven with a conssumate skill' TOM HOLLAND'Passionate,
provocative and brilliant' LUCY WORSLEY'Janina Ramirez is a born
storyteller . . . This is bravura narrative history underpinned by
passionate advocacy for the women whom medieval history has too
often ignored or overlooked' DAN JONES'Skillfully brings out from
the shadows the lives of women who ruled, fought, traded, created,
and inspired' CAT JARMAN'Absolutely brilliant and highly
recommended' CAITLIN MORAN
