Düringsfeld Ida von; Giovanella C. (cur.); Mortali A. (cur.)
Maria Antonietta. Una regina bambina che va oltre il suo tempo
ill., br. "Una regale rosa nuziale, ecco cos'era quando l'Austria la consegnò alla Francia. Anche i francesi ne rimasero incantati: la trovarono così bella che non se la sarebbero più lasciata sfuggire". Con queste parole Ida von Düringsfeld ci presenta la "sua" Maria Antonietta: una delicata e affascinante fanciulla appena quattordicenne, giunta in Francia per sposare il futuro Luigi XVI. Un destino che sembrava essere stato benedetto dagli dei e che invece, appena vent'anni anni dopo, si tramuterà in un vero e proprio incubo dal tragico epilogo. Amata, odiata, idolatrata, oltraggiata: se per i contemporanei Maria Antonietta fu il capro espiatorio di tutti i mali della Francia del XVIII secolo, per gli autori ottocenteschi si trasformò nella Martire della Rivoluzione, la "regina-santa" vittima innocente del più vile (ed inutile) dei regicidi. Nel libro l'autrice tedesca ripercorre le vicende umane di un personaggio complesso, accattivante, universale, un'icona che ancora oggi incuriosisce, seduce e divide le coscienze.

E A SPOFFORD
1848 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT ALMANAC AND JOURNAL CATCHALL OF A GLOUCESTER MASSACHUSETTS FISHERMAN
GLOUCESTER MASSACHUSETTS. Good. 1848. On offer is a captivating small notebook with entries dating in 1847 and 1848. It appears to have been written by E.A. Spofford as this name appears several times in the booklet. The Spofford family was prominent in the early history of Essex County and Gloucester MA. It contains notes doodles and music scores. Measuring 7 in by 4 in this little paper volume is in good shape. Although the entries are few they record that Spofford was a fisherman likely working out of Gloucester MA. "This day commencing with a fair wind but very light; run up to the Seal Is. Line and hove to for mackerel and found none and from there we run West until night and then it come on night with rain. Squally and we heaving to under two reefs for And so ends this day and night" Sept 25 1848 "
this day commencing with a fresh breeze from the North and we run from Thatchers Island 15 or 20 miles and hove to and then bore away and run into Gloucester so ends this day" Sept 26 1848
"this day commencing with a fine breeze from the SWsouth west we stood off to Middle Bank so ends this twenty four hours." Sept 27 1848. There are several verses or poems on some pages and 7 pages of music score 5 identified. This is a fascinating little booklet that gives a tantalizing peek into the life of a mid-19th century Gloucester fisherman.

E Alvord
1871 HANDWRITTEN DIARY: S.S. GERMANIA Travel Diary of an Outspoken Opinionated Young Man
Springfield Minnesota MN S.S.GERMANIA. Good. 1871. Full-Leather. On offer is a wonderful early travel/steamship diary for 1871. The diary was handwritten by we believe E. Alvord of Springfield Minn. a young very outspoken man to record his trip to Europe while traveling on board the steamship "Germania'. The first part of the diary 16 pp are handwritten miscellaneous notes. One rather interesting note: "Nov. 23 Milton Hull in 188 Deen St. Cooks Vanderbilt House." The voyage starts May 23rd when he begins recording his trip from leaving the harbor on board the ship in Europe and on his way back home aboard the ship "China" until September 12th 1871. In total there are 93 days worth of handwritten adventures. The diarist did not hold back; he didn't seem to like the places he visited or the people too much and at one point he seems to have a problem with some Jewish folks. Here are some snippets; "Left Hoboken 15 minutes to three. Sent out hats overboard amid the shouts of the crowd. At 4:40 discharged pilot awful hungry
.Out of sight of land fair wind making 12 ½ knots hungry. Fear we have got beat as we haven't got in a 2nd cabin. The captain is a gentleman polite and kind. Dutch babies are thick!.The weather is beautiful. Company pleasant for one sailing out on the boundless ocean. So vast reminds me of the summer of Dr. Taylor on "loneliness.".Heavy fog on the banks a dull stupid day wish I was home. No service on board which I don't like! Have been up on the bridge with the ladies
.A very slow steamer which together with the German style of cooking makes it quite tedious
Arrived at Plymouth at 9 pm. I feasted 1st time since leaving home. Had quite a nice piece of roast beef and some ale which I relished highly. Awful English funny people so concluded yet kind to us
.Visited St. Paul church. Climbed to the top of it 424 feet high. Saw the tomb of Wellington and Nelson. Also attended a funeral there of a daughter of one of the Arch Deacons. Leave London for Belgium tomorrow glad to get away
.Oh Germany is the most lovely place to live. Music seems to be a passion and the people are so civil. Thus cannot help liking them but with all this pleasure I think of home yes yes
.Good Bye old Vienna. Beautiful city and lovely music. Arrived at Lulgough and went to the circus with Gen Spinner of U. S. Treasury and Mrs. Three ladies got terribly wet jolly time
.Sailed from Liverpool today at 4 O'clock. A full compliment of passengers and all seem delirious to get to good old America once more. Some Chinese on board bound for China. Wonderful isn't it going to China by the way of N.Y
.We are getting on nicely passed a steamer of the Union Line which sailed two days before and now we are coming on a ship going the same way as we
." Mysteriously he stops writing before he gets home curious given he was very faithful with his writing before this. The diary is a black leather diary with a beautiful deep blue lining that also has wonderful scalloped pockets. It measure about 3" x 6" closed and is in good shape.; Manuscript; 64mo - up to 3" tall; Handwritten hand written autograph autographs signed letters document documents manuscript manuscripts writers writer author holograph personal Americana Travel Steamer Steamships Sea Travel Voyages Cruise antiquité contrat vélin document manuscrit papier Antike Brief Pergament Dokument Manuskript Papier oggetto d'antiquariato atto velina documento manoscritto carta antigüedad hecho vitela documento manuscrito Papel MINNESOTA MN . hardcover

Beginning January 1st 1882 Mr. Moore who is on his way to manage a bank writes in a fine hand rarely if ever missing a day spends 4 months at sea until reaching Australia and then to his final destination of Christchurch when he finally writes: Tuesday June 13th that he 'took charge of Branch

While some entries are brief recaps of the day at sea or the weather Mr. Moore does a superb job relating all he sees and does in the bigger ports or more interesting and exotic sights like Peking Ceylon Alexandria Venice Turin Bombay. Ceylon for example has 8 days of the 7 1/4" x 4 1/2" page almost overfilled in tiny legible writing. Historians and collectors of 19th Century travel will understand that this was not a 'Grand Tour' diary per se as much as an exciting exotic voyage of this young Englishman to a new life on the other side of the world.

E W D SAYERS [?]
1912 - 1914 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY OF A PETTY OFFICER ABOARD THE HMS KENT A ROYAL NAVY ARMOURED CRUISER IN CHINA STATION WORKING AND LIVING THROUGH THE VIOLENT AND CONSEQUENTIAL SECOND REVOLUTION OF THE 1913 CHINESE CIVIL WAR
China Station Shanghai Hong Kong England UK. Good. 1913. On offer is an exceptional and significant piece of British naval history the diary of a petty officer and watchman from the HMS Kent The author's name is on the front but it is extremely faded. It appears to be "E. W. D. Sayers" but the name has not turned up researching the HMS Kent. The author does mention taking his petty officers exam on December 2nd 1912 which may assist local historians in confirming the name one of 10 Monmouth-class armoured cruisers built for the Royal Navy in the first decade of the 20th century. The 75 page diary begins on August 24 1912 and goes until January 1 1914. At the beginning of the diary the author is preparing it for sea cleaning it and doing mechanical work on it. On September 1 the ship "entered Bay of Biscay 4 AM." The ship goes around Portugal "off Cape Vincent" and makes its way to Hong Kong going through Gibraltar Malta Port Said the Suez Canal Aden and Singapore. During the trip the author often keeps watch participates in "Torpedo routines" and coals the ship "500 tons". The entries are short for this part. Often they say little more than "Thursday Sept 26th at sea" "Wednesday Oct 2nd Heavy storm 2:45 AM" or "Wednesday Oct 9th Sailed for Hong Kong 6 AM." There is also the mention of the HMS Talbot and the HMS Monmouth sailing with them for a brief moments in time. From Hong Kong the ship goes onto Weihaiwei in Northeast China at that time under British rule. In Weihaiwei the author does much of what was being done before: coals the engine cleans the ship "took on duty as dayman. Recovered anchor cable and moored" "ran torpedoes. One sunk but was recovered in the afternoon." Sometimes they just read "Usual routine". The ship is kept in tip-top shape and often runs battle and weapons exercises. Early 1913 the ship goes back to Hong Kong. The routine is still usual though the author notices an increased number of Japanese ships. The entries also begin to get a bit longer at this time. "Sunday Jan 19th Bishop of Hong Kong preached aboard - Japanese cruisers arrived at noon. Went to Cathedral in evening." In Hong Kong the author continues much of his 'usual routine' noting the weather outside usually rain and the exercises routines and tasks he does day-to-day. In May the author takes leave and goes to Japan for a few days. He goes first to Kawasaki then Yokohama and finally to Shinagawa. He does not mention much of what he did during these days except visiting palaces. On July 27 1913 he writes "Captain attended conference at Shanghai arsenal. Attacked 11 30pm at Shanghai." The next day he writes "Shanghai arsenal attacked 3 am again replaced. Captain at Shanghai transports and off the entrances ready.Landed 150 men." What the author is referring to here is the "Second Revolution of 1913" in which in July 1913 seven southern Chinese provinces rebelled against the Chinese President Yuan Shikai the autocratic first formal presdient of the Republic of China beginning the Second Revolution. The revolution was over in a few weeks thanks to the military strength of the North. The revolution also resented the Chinese government's dealings with Great Britain and so attacked the HMS Kent while in Shanghai. "Wednesday July 30th - Japanese gun boats arrived and proceeded to Shanghai 1:30pm. Shots fired 2 blank charges 90mm." Shortly after the North Chinese troops arrive and begin attacking the revolutionaries. "Saturday Aug 2nd - Chinese ships bombarded Fort 4:30 AM till 5 AM. Fort replied but with no avail. rounds were exchanged. Landed at 5 aM and proceeded to naval base. Usual routine remained of day." The next few days have only a few details about the revolution mostly focusing on the author's duties on the ship. On Aug 10 he writes "Prepared for leaving. Barrackers orders cancelled 11 A.M. A few of the Northern Troops armed & reoccupied the Police Quarters." The HMS Kent leaves Shanghai on August 17 and sails back to Japan "Saturday Aug 22nd went to Michimo 11 AM and visited Japanese Hotel also Sulphur baths. Returned at 300 pm and returned aboard at 10pm." By the middle of September the ship is in Newcastle. During the trip back the 'usual routine' persists but with seemingly more attack and defense exercises especially with other British gun boats especially the HMS Monmouth. At the end of September there are a number of pages of "Regatta Results of races skiffs Hampshire." It seems that in the first few days of August there were competitions amongst Royal Navy ships in terms of skills speed and agility. These races include "32 foot cutters" "30 foot cutters" "Whalers" "12 barrelled cutters" and other ships. The ship stays in the China Station patrolling and protecting British interests until the end of November when it begins to head back to England with the HMS Monmouth. The ship reaches England in December. By Christmas the author is back home visiting friends and family writing that he is off of duty until the end of January. After the January 1st 1914 entry there are no more. The very end of the diary is fascinating however. The author pens two essays one entitled "Weddings in China" and dated "Shanghai Aug 15th 1913" and the other entitled "Funerals in China" and dated "Shanghai Aug 10th 1913." In "Weddings in China" the author describes a typical wedding writing of the customs he finds interesting. In "Funerals in China" he writes "I have had a pretty good insight as to the disposal of a corpse of all grades during my stay here as the road leads to the Chinese burial ground if it can be termed as such." He writes of the presentation of the dead the coffin they lie in and the customs and traditions around honoring the dead. The writing in this little back section is in stark contrast to the matter-of-fact diary entries. Here the entries are still mostly detail but much more sussed out and interesting reflecting a definite opinion of the strangeness of Chinese customs. Finally the last page of the book contains a list entitled "Distance Run" which lists all the places the HMS Kent travelled with the author on board the kilometers in between each big city or province and then a final count of kilometers for the whole trip: 8340. The book is in excellent condition slightly worn in a sometimes cramped but ultimately readable script in pencil. Background - HMS Kent was one of 10 Monmouth-class armoured cruisers built for the Royal Navy in the first decade of the 20th century. She was placed in reserve when completed in 1903 but was recommissioned for the China Station in 1906. She remained there until she returned home in 1913 for a lengthy refit.; Manuscript; 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF E. W. D.

19972000 Manuscript Diaries of a Lesbian Mother Confronting Sobriety Shame and the Search for Self in Late-Twentieth-Century Florida
Sarasota Arcadia Florida. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. On offer is a pair of diaries belonging to a middle-aged mother who began keeping a journal in order to write her way through her feelings surrounding her identity as a lesbian. Through her writing she also explores her struggles with multiple addictions and the impact her challenges have on her school-aged child who would sadly die only six months after her final entry. Anonymized but complete biographical information on our author is available in the BIO NOTES at the end of the listing. The author of this diary is identified by name within both volumes; however her name and all information that identifies her family are being withheld from public listing out of respect for her many immediate living family members. A de-anonymized biography will be provided privately to serious buyers for research and provenance purposes. Our author is 41-years-old when she begins writing in 1997 and going on 43 when she makes her last entry in March of 2000. She titles her first diary Volume One and begins it on February 21 1997. She keeps it until Friday June 6 1997 writing near-daily and only on the right side of every page. In her first entry she lays out her purpose for journaling: This book is
about who I am in this moment
. Mostly it is about sexuality mine once lost and now found. It is about being a lesbian feeling wonderful about it and feel so relieved I cant believe it Feb 21 1997. Our author is educated intelligent and hopeful. She struggles with self-acceptance loneliness her sexual identity parenting a child who exhibited extremely challenging behaviours multiple addictions and mysteries from her past. While she is never explicit about her past we know she has a history of substance use and financial issues as well as challenges with her father and older brother. It is also implied that she had previously taken advantage of family members and possibly even stolen from them. Throughout the diaries one thing is clear: this author is a person who wants to live up to her potential be a good mother stay sober and be in control of her own life. She attends Alcoholics Anonymous AA meetings. She also attends the First Steps of Sarasota in their Choices program she goes to therapy and reflects that which she learns in her diary as she tries to understand her pain. Some excerpts from Volume One illustrate the tone of her entries:
I went to a gay dance in Venice with Sharon tonight and I cried all the way home. Am I grieving over old loss or making change or being afraid
I think that Im afraid of being alone
unloved
insignificant. I guess Ive always felt that way. Why so much more now I feel so much more peaceful so why do I still feel this incredible emptiness inside
I have always sought attention through my behaviours
its been physical hurting myself getting sick and now its through food deprivation and through spending money
maybe Im sad because Im afraid that even if I change all the behaviours the emptiness will never go away
April 25 1997.
I went to a gay AA meeting after group tonight which would have been good but I cried all the way through it. Im not sure why Im doing that these days
I need to be thankful more often
I could start with my son.and the family
April 14 1997.
I did have a huge fight with Dad. He wants $400 a month he told me he should be paid first that I was ruining his credit and that I had lied to him. I was really angry
I felt good that I did stand up for myself I went running after argument and that helped
I went to my Choices meeting
First Step. I love that meeting. I always come away feeling so good. 2 women asked me to sponsor them
I feel good about my sobriety April 17 1997. Despite her constant writing about wanting to overcome her demons and feel comfortable in her own skin our authors optimism of that first entry is repeatedly challenged. Some excerpts:
I spent more time alone this weekend and I was okay with that - really enjoyed going to Barnes & Noble and looking @ the Lesbian books. Went to church alone Church of Religious Science
. Told multiple friends I'm a lesbian. The women were very accepting John didnt say anything
March 3 1997. Right now I feel extremely anxious because of our living situation - I do not feel safe because our landlord has asked us to leave and we have not left. Tomorrow is my interview about a healthcare institution job - I really want this job. I feel as though things are beginning to turn
around
Thank you Lord for one more day and thank you for helping me to let go of my anger about the family March 11 1997. Thank you for this day God
my son and I had one of our more and more frequent fights. I did not handle myself well at all
I got very angry and.slapped him
have to learn
to step. Back and not be afraid of making and keeping rules. I felt so horrible April 10 1997. .I had a terrible day I got reprimanded at work for 3 medication errors
I feel as though Im not climbing out of this hole fast enough. I was furious with my son when I got home and found that he had not come home
April 15 1997
I
applied for a new job
Its lingerie modeling which I think now is sort of clean prostitution. I want to make a lot of money and thats all! .I want this job so I can pay off all my bills
send my son to camp get the Volvo fixed
April 21 1997
today I was terminated from healthcare institution for not correcting medication errors
. I wasnt careful enough
I dont feel scared just sad and pretty worthless as though everything Ive thought about myself
is true April 23 1997The first diary ends on a relatively hopeful note.
Ive been afraid to write because Im clearly at the end of the book and
Ive been incredibly depressed. I feel a little better I think the Prozac is working
With the exception of the loneliness and the bulimia Im doing better
I want to start going back to meetings
I think going to that gay dance scared me
I think its connected to my not going to meetings that fear of intimacy thing
June 6 1997. When we meet our author again in her second diary begun September 1 1999 her struggles are the same but her child is older and in trouble with the law financial strain becomes a more prominent and frequent concern shes unable to hold down a job housing is insecure and while she discusses her sexuality less frequently in Diary #2 it remains an undercurrent. Initially she is staying sober with the help of her sponsor about whom she writes almost obsessively until October 5th when she begins drinking again. Some excerpts give the sense of her lived experience as the millennium looms: We have just returned from the police station where my son was arrested on 3 felony counts and 3 misdemeanors and there are at least $6000 worth of charges. It was absolutely horrible. My sponsor and her husband came with us Thank God! .Im thrilled that at least the arrest part is over
Sept 1 1999.
I went to healthcare facility for my orientation and now Im ready to work. Im grateful to God for opportunities Sept 9.
I cancelled two orientations today and my shame feels really big
Sept 13
I went to see a therapist this morning. I liked her. I was pretty honest with her except about my sexuality
I told her that I was recovering for my anorexia and bulimia Im not really
my son and I will go together next week
Sept 18.
Tomorrow we have an appointment at the Department of Juvenile Justice it scares me to death
My son is a criminal
some of my goals: Plant a garden make my house pretty
go back to school get my masters write a book find a lover Sept 30.
I went back out as they say in the program. I started at now closed down mental health hospital today. Im quite excited about it
the benefits are by far the best Ive ever had. I feel okay. My alcoholism has reared its ugly head Oct 5. I think much of my self hatred and feeling of worthlessness is tied up with my older brother
Why doesnt it just heal After all Im 42 now Why does it hurt so much Oct 16. .The landlord is threatening to evict us if I dont pay by tomorrow. The water has been shut off for a week now and Im supposed to pay my sons lawyer $1000 tomorrow. I have 3 cigarettes and not enough gas to get to work tomorrow
Thank you God! I got gas and my son gave me half a pack of cigarettes. While that itself makes me feel awful desperation is desperation! Nov 4. The next day her landlord has begun the eviction process and on November 19 she moves in to her parents house with her son and states she is grateful to be sober. After a long and disappointing house hunt and judging by the nature of her writing - intermittent sobriety she and her son move to Arcadia Florida on December 31 1999 and she writes:
The millennium did not end well with the family as Dad was drunk and very belligerent with my son. I did not say a word while Dad was yelling at my son
at some point I want to talk to my father about his drinking
I am thrilled to be sober! ..
Im so disgusted with myself. A week ago today I got $1000 now its all gone! When will I ever change. I feel stupid worthless useless Jan 17 2000. .we went to Sarasota. I went to Rose Group which was about the First Step for the second night in a row. I picked up my blue chip for 90 days. It was a great meeting
Jan 25.
We talked about the topic at the Rose Group being sex and Valentines Day and how I couldnt change it because I didnt want that womans feelings her feelings mattered while mine didnt
I need to matter! Feb 19.
For me money is a lot like alcohol I am obsessed with it. I think about it constantly. When I have it I am happy when I dont I am miserable
March 26. Her final entry is on March 30 2000. An excerpt: Lord please help me to feel better about myself. Please help me to remember that I am loved. Please help me to pay the bills March 30. While we do know through historical records that our author was eventually married to a woman who was a proud member of the sober living community and lived into her early 60s we also know things likely didn't get much easier. Her son would sadly die less than six months after she made her final diary entry and her financial issues remained for many years. Taken together these diaries offer an unvarnished view of midlife lesbian identity formation at the edge of the twentieth centurywhere spirituality motherhood and addiction recovery intersect. They are especially valuable for their articulation of lesbian self-definition outside urban or academic milieus documenting the therapeutic and communal spaces AA meetings religious-based groups womens recovery programs through which one woman sought meaning dignity and love. Together the volumes stand as a rare primary-source record of working-class lesbian experience sobriety culture and maternal resilience in the years preceding the new millennium. BIO NOTES ANONYMIZED : The female author of these diaries was born in the mid-1950s. The daughter of a New Jersey businessman and a mother who was on her second marriage she grew up in an upper-middle-class household with two older half-siblings from her mothers first marriage and one older brother. She was raised in New Jersey before her parents relocation to Florida in the mid-1970s which occurred while she was away at college. She graduated from a respected northeastern university in the late 19070s. She was clearly a highly respected and busy member of the student body being President of the Student Alumni Association and a member of a society known as AMW the universitys highest non-academic honorary society offering invitations to female students of exemplary character excellence in service to the University and community
honor dignity willingness to accept responsibility responsible leadership and potential for continued contributions to the University. She gave birth to a son in the late 1980s while still living in Maine. He died tragically at age 13 shortly after her second diary concludes in a loss that shadows her later writings. Professionally she appears to have worked in nursing and lived most of her adult life in Florida later settling in the northeastern United States. She identified herself as lesbian in early 1997 and ultimately married a woman active in the sober-living community who served as a sponsor to others in recovery.
