From the Wolfson Prize-winning author of God's Architect: Pugin and the Building of Romantic BritainBetween the fall of the Bastille in 1789 and the opening of the Great Exhibition in 1851, history changed. The grand narratives of the Enlightenment, concerned with kings and statesmen, gave way to a new interest in the lives of ordinary people. Oral history, costume history, the history of food and furniture, of Gothic architecture, theatre and much else were explored as never before. Antiquarianism, the study of the material remains of the past, was not new, but now hundreds of men - and some women - became antiquaries and set about rediscovering their national history, in Britain, France and Germany. The Romantic age valued facts, but it also valued imagination and it brought both to the study of history. Among its achievements were the preservation of the Bayeux Tapestry, the analysis and dating of Gothic architecture, and the first publication of Beowulf. It dispelled old myths, and gave us new ones: Shakespeare's birthplace, clan tartans and the arrow in Harold's eye are among their legacies. From scholars to imposters the dozen or so antiquaries at the heart of this book show us history in the making.

Hopelessness. Depression. Inadequacy. Doubt. Fear. They are emotions that can cause the most faith-filled person to contemplate if life is worth living. All too often, those feelings render the strongest person weak and lonely. "The Other Side Of Through" is a journey through life experiences of the author that left her in spiritually-dark places. Rosemary's testimony of how she made it through those stormy places will encourage and inspire her audience. Through the sharing of her story, it is her prayer to foster honest conversations about faith, strength, hope, and self-love-the ingredients necessary for surviving journeys through difficult times. Learn and understand that moving forward in the midst of the storm is imperative. As you do, you will find yourself as one who once traveled "Trials and Tribulations Road" and came out victorious on the other side of through, all because you chose to weather the storm.
