German to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Anthropology | | German term or phrase: aristokratischer Landadel versus städtischer Finanzadel | der 'aristokratische Landadel' ist zweifellos die "Gentry"; aber wie lässt sich 'städtischer Finanzadel' ins Englische bringen? Das ist meine dritte und letzte Anfrage. Außer der, ob sich auf diesem Wege eventuell jemand finden lässt, der mir eine 20-seitige Abhandlung über die historische Entwicklung der englischen Gentlemanideal (in mehr oder weniger gutem Englisch abgefasst) stilistisch und grammatisch (Letzters hoffentlich nicht allzu nötig) überarbeitet/korrigiert?
Vielen Dank und unbekannte Grüße,

The House of Lords was an elite club made up of titled individuals,
mainly landed aristocrats who served for life.
In the UK the \"gentry\" are the class below the \"nobility\" and are usually \"landed\" but not necessarily \"monied\" :) |
