SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | The Eagle and the Hart with Helen Castor
DESCRIPTION:The Eagle and the Hart: The Tragedy of Kings Richard II and Henry IV\nRichard of Bordeaux and Henry of Bolingbroke\, cousins born just three months apart\, were ten years old when Richard became king of England. They were 32 yrs old when Henry deposed Richard and declared himself King of England. While Richard had birthright on his side\, he was a narcissist who lacked any qualities of leadership and declared he could make up his own laws. He recruited a private army loyal to himself rather than the realm and tried to destroy those who had any resistance to his will. Unlike the King\, Henry was a leader\, a soldier and a chivalric hero who was responsible and principled. After King Richard banished his cousin and seized his inheritance\, Henry deposed Richard as a tyrant and declared himself the lawful ruler. While welcomed as a champion of the people\, soon King Henry was facing rebellion and was trapped by political uncertainty. Acclaimed historian and author Helen Castor brings to life the captivating story behind one of the strangest and most fateful events in English history (and the inspiration behind one of Shakespeare’s most celebrated plays). Dr. Castor will describe these explosive events and explain what happened when Richard demanded loyalty to himself as an individual\, rather than duty to the established constitution\, and how he tried to reshape reality rather than concede to the truth. She will tell a story about how a nation was brought to the brink of catastrophe and disintegration—and\, in the end\, how it was brought back. \n\nHelen Castor. © Chris Gibbions \n\nDr. Helen Castor is an acclaimed medieval and Tudor historian. Her first book\, Blood and Roses: The Paston Family in the Wars of the Roses\, was longlisted for what is now known as the Baillie Gifford Prize for Nonfiction and won the English Association’s Beatrice White Prize. Her next two books\, She-Wolves: The Women Who Ruled England Before Elizabeth and Joan of Arc: A History were both on numerous Best Books of the Year lists and made into documentaries for BBC television\, and Joan of Arc was longlisted for the PEN America/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography. Her latest book The Eagle and the Hart was published in October 2024. \n\n\nZoom Rental Recording: Recording details will be emailed on January 30 and available to watch thru February 24. \nTickets: $20 members*; $30 non-members\n*Membership discount applied automatically when logged into your Royal-Oak.org account

SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | Streamlined Style: London’s Art Deco Virtual Tour with Stephen Benton
DESCRIPTION:Streamlined Style: London’s Art Deco \nThe city of London is bursting with 1920s and 1930s Art Deco architecture blending streamlined modernity with elegant and bold geometric forms. Our guide\, Stephen Benton will take us on a digital journey spotlighting some of London’s notable examples of this glamorous style. We will explore the history and design of Palladium House\, built for the European subsidiary of the American Radiator Company. This striking building was designed as a scaled-down version of the American Radiator Building in NYC (now the Bryant Park hotel) featuring the same black granite facing with gold accents. We will also look at the former London Transport Headquarters at 55 Broadway close to St. James’ Park.  Designed by Charles Holden\, the building was the tallest office block in London in 1929\, and its innovative design and sculptures are celebrated as one of the most significant Art Deco designs in the city. The Art Deco style always was associated with industrial progress and modernity. London’s first city-center air terminal—the Imperial Airways Terminal—was built in 1939 as the office headquarters as well as the entrance to the special train platform at Victoria Station. Thousands of ticketed passengers flying from Southampton airport would first pass through this London building to catch a train to their flight.  The terminal encapsulates the forward-thinking spirit of the era\, reflecting the burgeoning age of air travel with its sleek\, aerodynamic design. Our journey will also encompass Peter Jones Department Store on Sloane Square\, a remaining example that demonstrates how the Art Deco style influenced retail spaces\, combining both functionality with the era’s characteristic stylish aesthetics. Lastly\, we will examine the Art Deco transformation of the older Savoy Theatre. Known for its luxurious and streamlined design\, the theatre exemplifies how Art Deco style also permeated the world of entertainment\, adding a touch of glamour to the performing arts scene.
