The Indian Summer of English Chivalry: Studies in the Decline and Transformation of Chivalric Idealism

""The Indian Summer of English Chivalry"" is a scholarly work by Arthur B. Ferguson that explores the decline and transformation of chivalric idealism in England during the 16th century. The book consists of a series of essays that examine various aspects of chivalry, including its origins, its role in society, and its decline in the face of changing political and social conditions. Ferguson argues that the decline of chivalry was not a sudden or catastrophic event, but rather a gradual process that occurred over several centuries. He also suggests that the transformation of chivalry was not a rejection of its ideals, but rather a reinterpretation of those ideals in light of new circumstances. Overall, ""The Indian Summer of English Chivalry"" offers a nuanced and insightful analysis of a complex and important historical phenomenon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
