Locura y muerte de Nadie

Benjamín Jarnés

La obra presenta una reflexión sobre el arte y la literatura como expresión de lo humano y de sus mudanzas históricas. Después se centra en Juan Sánchez, cuya historia dice narrar alguien que lo conoce y quiere, destacando una existencia marcada por la inquietud, el miedo y la cercanía simbólica del verdugo. También aparece Arturo en el Banco Agrícola de Augusta, donde el mundo financiero se describe con imágenes de caldera, cifras y rituales casi religiosos.

The Pilgrimage of Grace, 1536-1537, and the Exeter Conspiracy, 1538, Volume 2 (of 2)

Madeleine Hope Dodds; Ruth Dodds

This volume examines the Pilgrimage of Grace from the King’s point of view, especially Henry VIII’s replies to the rebels and his refusal to concede their demands. It follows the shift from his private draft answer to the decision to negotiate through Norfolk and Fitzwilliam, with instructions shaped by suspicion, limited pardons, and firm conditions for submission. The narrative also shows royal anxiety over safe-conducts, truce, and the possibility of using negotiation to buy time against the insurgents.

S. S. Van Dine
