The Chivalric Ethos and the Development of Military Professionalism de D.J.B. Trim

The Chivalric Ethos and the Development of Military Professionalism: History of Warfare, cartea 11

Editat de D.J.B. Trim
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 noi 2002
The essays in this volume explore the extent to which the chivalric ethos and military professionalism were incompatible, as well as their relative significance for developments in the art of war, and the rise of the state.
Essays explore the armies and societies of late-medieval and early-modern France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Germany, England and the Netherlands. They examine both the theory and practice of war, using literary, archival and artistic evidence. Overall the volume probes what constitutes military 'professionalism'; assesses the real long term significance of developments in this period; and considers whether military professionalism required the waning of the chivalric ethos or merely resulted in it.
Analysis of elite culture makes this valuable for historians of culture and politics. Military operations are related to organisations and structures, bridging the gap of military enthusiasts and academic historians.

Recenzii

"…the essays in this book provide a great deal of valuable material for scholars interested in the culture and values of the European elites of the “long” sixteenth century. It should also be read by serious students of the military history of the period."
Clifford J. Rogers, Sixteenth Century Journal, 2005.

"...helps to consolidate Brill’s reputation for publishing valuable studies in ancient, medieval and early modern military history...well illustrated…a well-judged, scholarly and thought-provoking contribution to our understanding of the military mind in a fascinating period."
Ian Roy, Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research.

"Trim unites a formidable array of scholarly talent in this examination of the relationship between chivalry and the rise of military professionalism. Concentrating mainly on late medieval and Renaissance Europe, ....this volume takes us from John Hawkwoord to John Singleton Mosby in a series of essays of consistently high quality. It is rare, and very welcome, to find such a specialised work that will appeal to medievalists, early modernists and modernists alike."
Gervase Phillips, Journal of Military History.

"This collection holds together nicely, presenting a most complete study on the subject and earning this reviewer’s highest recommendation. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All libraries."
CHOICE, January 2004.
