''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic pr ...

Anna Maria Hjärne
Anna Maria Hjärne née ''Ehrensvärd'' (1718-1798) was a Swedish courtier, Chief Court Mistress to the queen of Sweden, Sophia Magdalena of Denmark, from 1766 to 1777. Biography Born to Johan Jacob Ehrensvärd and Anna Maria Mannerheim, she married ''riksråd'' count Gustaf Adolf Hjärne in 1739. She and her spouse were both known sympathizers of the Hats. During the Age of Liberty, the Hats and Caps often maneuvered to have their sympathizers placed in court offices, and when the office of senior lady in waiting to the crown princess (from 1771 queen) Sophia Magdalena was to be permanently filled after Ulrica Catharina Stromberg in 1766, the Hats managed to have Hjärne appointed to the office. The appointment was however mostly formal: it was understood that Hjärne would only serve during grander occasions, and that the office would in practice be performed by her deputy (first Ernestine Palmfelt, from 1767 Charlotta Sparre).Till Sveriges historia utgifna af D:r E.

Ulla Winblad
Ulla Winblad was a semi-fictional character in many of Carl Michael Bellman's musical works. She is at once an idealised rococo goddess and a tavern prostitute, and a key figure in Bellman's songs of ''Fredman's Epistles''. The character was partly inspired by Maria Kristina Kiellström (1744–1798). A dual character Edvard Matz, author of a book about Carl Michael Bellman's women, calls Ulla "one of the really great female figures in Swedish literature". Bellman's English biographer, Paul Britten Austin, summarizes Ulla's dual nature: : "''Ulla'' is at once a nymph of the taverns and a goddess of a rococo universe of graceful and hot imaginings".Britten Austin, 1967. ''Fredman's Epistles'' are distinctive in combining realism - drink, poverty, gambling, prostitution, old age - with elegant mythological rococo flourishes, enabling Bellman to achieve both comic and elegiac effects. Britten Austin cites Afzelius: The sluttiest of the barmaids "on the rosiest mythological ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
