Of all the parts of the world to interest the Victorians, Germany was among the most important. Though less well known today, partly in consequence of the events of the twentieth century, German influences in Britain were strong, and their legacy substantial. This book charts the emergence, development and course of the Victorian interest in Germany. Its multidisciplinary approach, which binds together for the first time the latest research conducted in a variety of areas, shows how a discourse developed in Britain regarding Germany and the Germans which spilled over from one area of life to another, and included some of the most prominent figures in Victorian life. It provides a framework for understanding the causes of the Victorian fascination with Germany, and argues forcefully that the roots of this lay in the processes of modernisation taking place in each place respectively. It also points to the deep impact this had upon the course of British history and reveals how it prepared the ground for the future direction of Anglo-German relations.

The royal family of Judah had a tremendous impact on history and played a role in shaping who we are today. In Judah Scepter, author Brian Arundell Howard provides a refreshing perspective about this family who migrated from one continent to the next, guiding the populace to a better life. Filled with timelines, graphs, and maps, Judah Scepter contains both descriptions of tradition and historical facts about individuals within a royal genealogical line from biblical times to the present, documenting their contribution during the ages to the divine will. In addition, Howard discusses how the inherited scepter of Judah is used to uphold precedence over time. Judah and the Trojans seek out to do the will of God, Zeus, and Justice; the Franks and descendants of Charlemagne seek out to spread Christianity; and the Arundell Howards seek to do duty for their faith. How each scepter holder maintained their precedence is captivating and informative, as it progresses from biblical times, continents, genealogies, and governments. Gleaned from years of research, Judah Scepter educates and enlightens by introducing the transformation of Judah Scepter in relation to history.
