KINGS, COURTS AND

KINGS, COURTS AND
MONARCHY. BY Harold
NicolSon. (Simon & Schus-
ter; $l2.500
The richly varied career of
Sir Harold Nicolson has
yielded no happier product
than this popular history of
monarchy. Here the concept
Of kingship is fluidly traced
from its primitive appear
ance, through alterations and
accretionS, to its present
status in a second Elizabe-
than England.
The wedding Of Sir Har-
old's resources as diplomat
ist, politician, historian, BIZ
ographer and critic could
hardly be more felicitouS.
"Kings, Courts and Mon
archy" is an urbane discur-
sive survey of an institution
springing from the primordial
needs of man and continuing
in a tradition of still residual
potency.
Personal Experience
To the profit Of the gen.
eral reader, Sir Harold re-
duces scholarly esoteria to a
pithy amalgam, tempered
throughout by personal ex-
perience. He loots cultural
anthropology, history, myth
and gossip for his formidable
array of examples, girdling
the globe and sitting the flux
of the ages. AS British For
eign Officer he came to know
regality at first-hand while
serving in embassies from
Madrid to Teheran and Is
tanbul, and as Labor MP for
almost 80 years he has OBJ
served the subject Of his
speculation on home grounds.
At the outset the monarch
of pre- history develops from
magician priest to diety it
self. AS documented by Fra
zer's The Golden Bough,"
the rise of monarchy ZAP
pears to be the essential con-
dition of the emergency Of
mankind from savagery."
Divine Right
The king as warrior, espe-
cially in service Of the faith,
acquires a sacerdotal sane
tion, soon ruling by divine
right as THE Lords annoint-
ed" Hence the tragic miscal-
culation of Shakespeare's
Richard II:

dnointed king E.

he learns a great deal about
the son whom he neglected,
and reveals even more about
his own monumental selfish
ness.
The elements Of suspense
are splendidly worked out,
but they end by serving chief
ly as a back drop for the
fathers colossal If guilt

CENTURIES OF CHILD
HOOD: A Social History

CENTURIES OF CHILD
HOOD: A Social History
Of Family Life. BY Philippe
Aries. Translated by Rob-
ert Baldick. (Knopf; $500
Artists in the tenth century
painted children as men on a
smaller scale. The quaint
ness Of such unrealistic paint
ing has often been pointed
out, but few writers have ex-
plored its significance with
anything Of the thoroughness
Of the French historian
Philippe Aries. What such
paintings mean, he proves
with vivid and fascinating
detail, is that the tenth GEN.
tury had no notion Of child
hood comparable to that
which led the nineteenth
century to center the family
around the child and to stress
the duty of preserving the
innocence of infancy.
Centuries of Childhood"
deals with three main topics:
The idea Of childhood itself,
scholastic life, and the evolu-
ton of our notion Of the
family. The brilliant and
novel insights that provoke
the reader to underlining are
bound to enrich his apprecia-
ton Of paintings as well as
save him from the fatally
easy notion that the family
is simply a basic biological
and therefore stable unit.
This book is a Landmark
in social history, but it is
compelling reading as we'll.
What lends it fascination is
the authors care to quote
from contemporary letters,
diaries, and records to illus
trate point after point with
specific, telling detail.
The observation that all
ages and classes once shared
in the same games, but that
adults Of the upper classes
later abandoned them, gets
support from the history Of
several specific games; we
learn, for example. that the
old sport Of fitting at the
ring survives in the child's
attempt to grab the brass
ring while mounted on the
wooden horse of the merry
go-round. The comparatively
recent development Of ideals
of modesty and innocence is
proved with quotations from
the diary Of the physician
who attended the young Louis
XIII.
The second section Of the
book amounts to a history of
education in France, but for
once the emphasis is not on
the curriculum but on the
students, their lives, their
ages and their masters.
The next writer who refers
complacently to the decline
of the family-whether he
be j. Edgar Hoover or Mar
garet Mead-had better be
prepared for challenges.
Without waxing sentimental,
Aries demonstrates how the
quest for privacy and COM
fort destroyed the sense Of
community that allowed So
cial extremes to mingle as
Chaucer's Canterbury pill
grims did. AS the family
grew self-centered, shutting
itself apart from neighbors,
the demand for conformity
increased. The broad toler-
ance Of individuality and
variety was sacrificed to the
drive for conformity to
standard models-in ideas as
well as dress.
Though his sources are
chiefly French, Mr.. Aries has
written the history Of the
concept of the family in the
West generally. He has
proved again that jargon is
not necessary to a man who
knows how to write.

fantastic In the sense of pure,

Stehling and Beller write
about a form of flight that is
regarded as obsolete but until

charts the gas-bag's progress
from Montgolfier to Malcolm

est:
I'm name Lou remained
Andreas' wife for half a CEN
tury; in fact, she resisted all
his attempts to consummate
their marriage. Her refusal
made the first years of their
married life a veritable hell
on earth. She mentions mo-
ments Of utter despair when
they both considered putting
an end to it all. Andreas was
a hot-tempered man. In the
beginning he tried to assert
his marital rights by persua-
sion and by force. Lou says
that on one occasion while
she was fast asleep he tried
to subdue her on a sudden
impulse. Still half asleep she
pressed her hands tightly
around his throat until his
gasping woke her up. When
she opened her eyes she saw
to her horror that she was
strangling him"

was a successful writer Of
novels, Of a book on Ibsen
and Of books on religion and
ethics), the new wife in
course of time met the man
who was to be her first true
lover-Dr. Friedrich Pineles,
with whom she divided her
time In Munich. At this point
in her biography Lou is dis
covered to the reader as q
virgin-it had been not only
Andreas who was denied the
rites of Amor, but Nietzsche,
Rec, Gillot, and the many
other men in her life. Pine
les was a true lover, and SO
too was the man of her most
famous and, since it con-
cerned a poet, her most ar
ticulate liaison, Rainer Maria
Rilke, whose mistress she
was for three and a half
years. Rilke was infatuated
with the older woman, and
in the $500 pages of his
complete poetical works the
point Of their meeting can
almost be bookmarked by the
beginnings of the perfection
of imagery and verbal vir-
tuosity that is the mark of
New Poems" and the later
works.
When Lou felt that she
was all : too necessary to
Rilke, she followed her star
and left him. There ensued
many men, many books, and
much travel. The first night
she met Wedekind, to men,
ton one incident of interest
to opera lovers, the play
wright asked her to his apart
ment, where she willingly
went for conversation but, as
he discovered, nothing else.
He got his revenge by IRON
ically naming the arch-sex-
fiend, in the play that became
the source Of Berg's opera,
Lulu" Perhaps only Lou ap-
preciated the joke.
In 1911, Lou met Freud,
became his pupil, then his
disciple, and his lifelong
friend. She was one of the
early psychoanalists, and far
from being a dilettante, car
ried on a successful and sat
isfying practice until shortly
before her death in 1897.
What was the heart of
Louis mystery2 There is no
reason to think her merely
a collector of idolators, or a
libidinous female, or a SEN
sation-seeker, or an artist,
or a devoted and skillful
practitioner of a new SCI
ence. She is, in Mr.. Peters
book, both fascinating and
quite inscrutable. The author
sets down the life, he scarcely
tries to draw the woman.
But he has brought to light
a person certainly q prime
subject for a future biogra-
pher. He has indicated the
materials; somebody else
