By 1807 Napoleon--well aware of the strategic importance of the Scandinavian nations--was convinced that he must incorporate both Denmark and Norway into his Continental System, either by aggressive diplomacy or by naked force. Having claimed neutrality to sustain its trading links, Scandinavia found itself pitted between two power-hungry nations: Britain and France. This book details the Scandinavian armies involved in the Napoleonic Wars, beginning with the siege of Copenhagen in 1807, to the fall of Denmark and the invasion of Norway in 1813. The text is accompanied by colour plates detailing the uniforms and equipment of the Scandinavian armies.

Hippocrene Books

This is the first volume in a series of books about costumes and settings for historical plays. The concept is to offer a full spectrum of design ideas for a particular period-costumes, props and sets. The series is intended for all of those who are involved in theatre, drama and the history of a particular period. It is an excellent reference for historic costume designers, scenic designers, property masters, weapons masters, producers, directors and actors, or for those who have an interest or enthusiasm for period drama or period design history. Jack Cassin-Scott presents the Classical Period, which covers the Ancient World Egyptian, Biblical, Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Romanesque - as well as the contemporary barbarian tribes: Teutons, Celts, Jutes, Franks, Normans and Vikings. Mr. Scott, with brief descriptions and clear drawings, depicts the features of typical costumes, sets and properties. Depending on the period to be represented, the costumer-cum-designer should follow the three basic primitive principles: social rank, occupation and sex appeal. In an easy-to-follow format, the types of costumes for men, women and children are simply categorized, including their hairstyles, footwear and appropriate colour schemes. The Stage Properties, clearly drawn and captioned, include: certain specific costumes, armour and weapons of nobles and soldiers, as well as musical instruments, details of jewelry, furniture and utensils used for the people of those times. The Stage Settings concentrate on the characteristic features which are clearly represented in the architecture of the period, and when incorporated into the design, with carefully selected lighting effects and appropriate costume and prop designs, can reproduce the correct atmosphere for the chosen period. A selection of plays, suitable for the various theatre groups and/or drama class productions is also given, which adds to the usefulness of this indispensable reference book.

This is the third volume in a series of books about costumes and settings for historical plays. The concept is to offer a full spectrum of design ideas for a particular period-costumes, props and sets.

It is an excellent reference for historic costume designers, scenic designers, property masters, weapons masters, producers, directors and actors, or for those who have an interest or enthusiasm for period drama or period design history. Jack Cassin-Scott presents the Elizabethan and Restoration period, which from 1550-1715, covers almost two centuries of contrasting fashion. The middle of the sixteenth century reflects the heavy, artificial splendour of the Spanish influence which is in complete contrast to the drab colour and austere costumes which became fashionable during the years of war and rebellion. Towards the middle of the seventeenth century emerged the dignified and sumptuous Baroque style with its heavy drapery, intermingled with satins and velvets, to be abruptly brought to an end at The Restoration with its revolutionary change in the attire for men and its emphasis on wigs. The author stresses the importance of carefully planned exaggeration of silhouette and colour to heighten the impact of the plays. The Stage Properties, clearly drawn and captioned, include: certain specific costumes, armour and weapons of nobles and soldiers, as well as musical instruments, details of jewelry, furniture and utensils used for the people of those times.
