The Carole: A Study of a Medieval Dance
The carole was the principal social dance in France and England from c. 1100 to c. 1400 and was frequently mentioned in French and English medieval literature. However, it has been widely misunderstood by contributors in recent citations in dictionaries and reference books, both linguistic and musical. The carole was performed by all classes of society - kings and nobles, shepherds and servant girls. It is described as taking place both indoors and outdoors. Its central position in the life of the people is underlined by references not only in what we might call fictional texts, but also in historical (or quasi-historical) writings, in moral treatises and even in a work on astronomy. Dr Robert Mullally's focus is very much on details relevant to the history, choreography and performance of the dance as revealed in the primary sources. This methodology involves attempting to isolate the term carole from other dance terms not only in French, but also in other languages. Mullally's groundbreaking study establishes all the characteristics of this dance: etymological, choreographical, lyrical, musical and iconographical.

Call Me Carole
A young woman named Judith, aka Carol or Carole, depending on her age and moods, finds her true love during the Second World War, moves from the windy city of Chicago to the Pacific Northwest where she settles as a married woman in a house among fir trees to pursue her teaching career.Meanwhile her husband creates a small bamboo grove in their back garden before his health condition worsens. As in an impressionist painting, touches after touches, we discover Carole's surprising destiny and what each of the three men in her life brings to her personality. Instead of evoking 19th century France and its colonies as in her trilogy of 'The Reluctant Paris Rebel, ' 'Southbound French Settlers' and 'The Breton Black Foot, ' Claudine Fisher sets her latest novel in the U.S., from 1938, through WWII, the 1980s' and 1990s', to modern day.

General Sir Ralph Abercromby and the French Revolutionary Wars, 1792–1801
This biography of the Victorian era general and politician sheds light on Britain’s military maneuverings against the First French Republic. The French Revolutionary Wars of 1793-1801 were a critical turning point in the political and diplomatic history of Europe, and Sir Ralph Abercromby played a leading role in the British military campaigns that were part of them. In this absorbing and perceptive study, Carole Divall throws new light onto Britain’s position during the late eighteenth century, focusing on its military affairs and the expeditionary forces led by Abercromby during the conflict. After the convulsions of the French revolution, the tension between Britain and France only grew. British waged an economic war by attacking French colonial possessions, and money and men were sent to campaign on the continent. Abercromby was the most notable British general to exercise command of these expeditions, and his actions and experiences are central to the narrative. He led British forces during the disastrous campaign in Flanders, achieved some success in St Lucia and Trinidad, failed at Den Helder and finally triumphed in Egypt where he lost his life in 1801.
