“The use of the word royalty, as fee to a proprietor for the exploitation of a work or property, derives from the period when the sovereign assumed title to all wealth of the realm. It was the struggle for freedom from these encroachments of the state that chiefly marked the Nineteenth Century, and established everywhere constitutional regimes of limited authority. In the Twentieth Century, however, we have witnessed a gradual and almost unrestricted movement back to state authoritarianism, primarily in the economic sphere, accompanied by the spread of state monopoly and intervention.” StatesUseWealthStruggleEconomicCenturyMovementPeriodsAuthorityPropertySpreadTitlesRealmsSpheresRegimesExploitationSovereignMonopolyInterventionRoyaltyTwentieth CenturyNineteenth CenturyAuthoritarianismFeesEncroachmentStruggle For Freedom Author:Elgin Groseclose

Then a period of stillness may follow.” FirstsMayIdeasFormCertainSoundMemoriesEmotionEventsPeriodsRelationCrisisTitlesThrownStillnessCurvesEvoke Author:Muriel Rukeyser
“What was happening with me, with the album [A Period of Transition], with the people who took the pictures, the record company, everything, getting a new manager [Harvey Goldsmith]-it was all saying a period of transition to me so that was the title choice.

It's exactly what it is.” PeopleChoicesCompanyRecordsPeriodsHappeningsAlbumsManagersTitlesTransitionRecord CompaniesHarvey Author:Van Morrison
