Images taken from the embroidery are reproduced on thousands of objects evoking the Middle Ages, and at the same time the work has been the subject of hundreds of studies in many European countries, by historians, art historians and narrative scholars. In all of this, some questions and some answers are lacking, in particular with regard to the political culture expressed in the work: there is no doubt that the embroidery is a narrative of the exploits of William the Conqueror, an attempt to reconcile the English and Normans and in part an exaltation of the role of Odo, bishop of Bayeux; but it is also the expression of a series of political ideals and models of order, a reading and an evaluation of the system of contemporary power, organized around the kingdom and based on the primacy of the aristocracy and the value of personal ties. The volume aims to follow this line of research, showing how the embroidery, from many points of view (the political ceremonial, the role of the king, the aristocratic bonds of fidelity), reflects a social imaginary and a series of clearly recognizable political ideals. 410 0$aReti medievali.$pE-book, Monografie ;$v37. 517 $aDalla guerra alla pace.

Contemporaneous sources, however, show that the truce was not an act of defiance; rather, it arose from the professionalism of the soldiers involved, the conditions of static trench warfare, foul weather on the Western Front, the absence of major battles, and memories of traditional celebrations of Christmas. The truce, in short, was caused by rain, mud, curiosity, lack of personal animosity toward the enemy, and homesickness, rather than by frustration and rebellion. 606 $aChristmas Truce, 1914 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns$zWestern Front 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xArmistices 615 0$aChristmas Truce, 1914. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xArmistices. 676 $a940.4/21 700 $aCrocker$b Terri Blom$01499768 702 $aGrant$b Peter 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797625603321 996 $aThe Christmas truce$93726113 997 $aUNINA
