The Book of Eleanor

Eleanor of Aquitaine has always been one of those women from history that I love without knowing very much about them. Amongst the women of the 12th century who obeyed their husbands, who followed convention, Eleanor was someone who stood out because she didn’t do those things; because she was named her father’s heir in the duchy of Aquitaine and she was named duchess in her own right after his…

Sam Shepard in The Right Stuff (Philip Kaufman, 1983)

Cast: Sam Shepard, Fred Ward, Dennis Quaid, Ed Harris, Scott Glenn, Lance Henriksen, Scott Paulin, Barbara Hershey, Veronica Cartwright, Jane Dornacker, Kim Stanley, Pamela Reed, Donald Moffat, Levon Helm, Mary Jo Deschanel, Jeff Goldblum, Harry Shearer, Scott Wilson, Kathy Baker. Screenplay: Philip Kaufman, based on a book by Tom Wolfe. Cinematography: Caleb Deschanel. Production design: Geoffrey Kirkland. Film editing: Glenn Farr, Lisa Fruchtman, Tom Rolf, Stephen A. Rotter, Douglas Stewart. Music: Bill Conti. 

With its brightly irreverent attitude toward subject matter that typically brought out pious patriotism in Americans, d MoffaThe Right Stuff feels more like a film of the 1970s than of the Reagan '80s, which may be why it was a box-office disappointment. It remains true that some of the parts of the film -- the caricatures of the German scientists, the publicists, the press, and politicians like Lyndon Johnson (Donald Moffat) -- don't fit snugly with the genuine heroism shown by the astronauts and test pilot. But that's because writer-director Philip Kaufman dared to assume a point of view on the material that was fresh and unconventional -- a rarity in American film of the '80s. Some of the tone of the film can be found in its source, Tom Wolfe's book, which was designed as a corrective to the "official story" of the Mercury 7 that was provided by Life magazine. Instead of squeaky clean superbeings devoted to wife and family, the astronauts were just human beings, frequently raunchy, irreverent, and more than a little inclined to step out of marital bounds. The film's great glory is its all-star cast (though few of the actors in it were stars before it was made), with particularly good work coming from Sam Shepard, who received a supporting actor Oscar nomination as Chuck Yeager, the test pilot that the astronauts wanted to be, even as NASA and the scientists wanted them just to be glorified lab rats, plus Scott Glenn as Alan Shepard, Ed Harris as John Glenn, Dennis Quaid as Gordon Cooper, and Fred Ward as Gus Grissom. There is similar strength in the female cast, particularly Barbara Hershey as Glennis Yeager, Veronica Cartwright as Betty Grissom, Pamela Reed as Trudy Cooper, and Mary Jo Deschanel as the publicity-shy Annie Glenn, whose embarrassment at her stammer leads to a wonderfully satisfying standoff against an increasingly irate LBJ -- a man whose whims were seldom ignored. Deschanel's husband, Caleb, is the film's cinematographer. (Yes, they are the parents of Zooey Deschanel.) The movie was nominated for eight Academy Awards and won four: for sound, film editing, sound effects editing, and Bill Conti's score.

Title: Crusaders: An Epic History of the Wars for the Holy Lands

Author: Dan Jones

Genre/s: nonfiction, history

Content/Trigger Warning/s: war, death, murder, antisemitism, islamophobia, torture

Summary (from the publisher's website): For more than one thousand years, Christians and Muslims lived side by side, sometimes at peace and sometimes at war. When Christian armies seized Jerusalem in 1099, they began the most notorious period of conflict between the two religions. Depending on who you ask, the fall of the holy city was either an inspiring legend or the greatest of horrors. In Crusaders, Dan Jones interrogates the many sides of the larger story, charting a deeply human and avowedly pluralist path through the crusading era.

Expanding the usual timeframe, Jones looks to the roots of Christian-Muslim relations in the eighth century and tracks the influence of crusading to present day. He widens the geographical focus to far-flung regions home to so-called enemies of the Church, including Spain, North Africa, southern France, and the Baltic states. By telling intimate stories of individual journeys, Jones illuminates these centuries of war not only from the perspective of popes and kings, but from Arab-Sicilian poets, Byzantine princesses, Sunni scholars, Shi’ite viziers, Mamluk slave soldiers, Mongol chieftains, and barefoot friars.

Crusading remains a rallying call to this day, but its role in the popular imagination ignores the cooperation and complicated coexistence that were just as much a feature of the period as warfare. The age-old relationships between faith, conquest, wealth, power, and trade meant that crusading was not only about fighting for the glory of God, but also, among other earthly reasons, about gold. In this richly dramatic narrative that gives voice to sources usually pushed to the margins, Dan Jones has written an authoritative survey of the holy wars with global scope and human focus.

Review: I picked this up after I DNFed The Shield of Three Lions by Pamela Kaufman because I was still in the mood to read about the Crusades, but didn’t want any of the shenaniganry from Kaufman’s book. Or, okay, not THAT much shenaniganry, because there were definitely shenanigans happening in the actual historical crusades.

I’ve read some of Jones’ books before, and thought they were interesting, if rather dry. This book certainly fits in with that assessment: it’s interesting, but still rather dry. This is why I had to switch midway through to the audiobook, because it was easier to digest that way than reading it off the page.

Despite that hiccup though, this is, as I said, an interesting book. It chooses to tell the story of the crusades from the perspectives of key individuals who participated in them, which results in its very broad scope: an overview of the crusades, and what drove them. The latter is the most interesting part to me, because the book makes it very clear that, while religion WAS an aspect that drove the crusades, it was just ONE driving factor among many. Oftentimes, the real motivations driving crusades were political, social, and personal; faith came into play because the people behind the crusades were themselves religious people. Sometimes, those people took to crusading out of a genuine belief in their religion; other (lots of) times, they used their religion as an excuse to colonize some land and kill lots of people they disagreed with.

One of the more interesting ideas this book tackles is how the idea of crusading itself changed over the centuries. At first it really did mean “going to Jerusalem to free it from the Muslims for absolution of one’s sins”, but over time, the concept was increasingly changed and manipulated by secular and religious leaders alike. By the end, “crusading” was only vaguely connected to the idea of retaking Jerusalem from the Muslims, and actually meant “fighting anywhere against any enemy of the Church for absolution of one’s sins, and maybe other, more tangible rewards”.

Which now begs the question of “How is crusading perceived today?” The author does try to tackle that, but only briefly, in the book’s epilogue. I thought this was a bit sad, not least because it focused primarily on religious extremism and seemed to gloss over the use of crusading as a cover and tool for colonization, but given that this book is really just an overview, the lack of depth makes sense.

Overall, I think this book makes a great starting point for anyone who’s interested in the history of the crusades, since it offers some interesting jumping-off points that can lead the reader down paths they might find potentially interesting. The book has an extensive bibliography of both primary and secondary sources both academic and popular, so the reader can really just take a look at that and build a reading list based on whatever idea they latched onto. I also think it’s an important book to read now, given the Palestinian genocide and how Israel’s actions are painted by certain right-wingers as a “new crusade”.

LA MÁS REINA REINA MÁS

Si están al día con las noticias de la #Realeza #Internacional, sabrán que #Leonor es un nombre que está sonando desde hace rato, por ella misma, por sus abuelos, por su padre y, sobre todo, por su madre. Pero no voy a hablar de la #CoronaDeEspaña. Acá la protagonista es otra Leonor, una Leonor mucho más protagonista y muy anterior.

LEONOR DE AQUITANIA La Novela, de Pamela Kaufman, cuenta la historia de una leyenda verdadera y real.

Como en verdad la novela es sumamente interesante, y vale la pena leerla, no voy a adelantar mucho de ella acá, sólo quiero contarte que en la #Historia de la #Humanidad hubo mujeres que en plena #EdadMedia tuvieron una trascendencia sin precedentes con un enorme peso gravitacional.

Bella, bellísima, dice su #Leyenda. Inteligente y rica heredera, además. Dos veces #Reina, sin enviudar. Sí, así como estás leyendo. Primero, reina de #Francia, después, de #Inglaterra. Logró una nulidad matrimonial en el #Medioevo, y sólo por eso esta mujer es un caso para estudiar y admirar. Madre de dos monarcas: Ricardo I de Inglaterra, el famoso #CorazónDeLeón, y Juan I de Inglaterra. Pero hijos, tuvo muchos más.

La casaron por conveniencia, se separó de Luis VII de Francia, y en viaje de regreso a #Aquitania, la capturaron, Enrique se casó a la fuerza con ella y la violó para consumar el matrimonio y asegurarse la posesión de las ricas y extensas tierras de Leonor. Después, Enrique se conviertió en Enrique II de Inglaterra, convirtiéndola a ella en la madre más famosa de la dinastía #Plantagenet.

Parece que te conté todo, pero no. Leer  LEONOR DE AQUITANIA La Novela es algo que toda mujer #Feminista y #Curiosa debería hacer, porque es un modelo de #Fortaleza y #Resistencia de un tiempo en el que ser #Mujer era mucho más complicado de lo que podemos creer, aunque fueras bella, inteligente, rica y reina.
