London's Burning: Pulp Fiction, the Politics of Terrorism and the Destruction of the Capital in British Popular Culture, 1840 - 2005
ISBN: 9781441118875 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) From the early years of the nineteenth century, cultural pessimists imagined in fiction the political forces that might bring about the destruction of London. Periods of popular protest or radicalism have generated novels that consider the methods insurgents might use to terrorise the metropolis. There has been a tendency to dismiss such writings as the lurid imaginings of pulp novelists but this book re-evaluates the contribution of popular fiction to the construction of the terrorist threat. It analyses the high-points for the production of such works, and locates them in their cultural and...

Down with the Crown: British Antimonarchism and Debates About Royalty Since 1790
ISBN: 9781861890498 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In recent years there has been periodic disquiet with monarchy in both Britain and the Commonwealth. Whilst a number of important studies have reappraised the ceremonial surrounding the British royal family, the converse of monarchism - anti-monarchism - has been neglected. For some historians an identifiable current of English republicanism does not exist. This text attempts to fill the gap and to modify assumptions about the historical failure of radicals to contest monarchy effectively by looking at the issue of anti-monarchism in British politics from the French revolution to the death of...

London Politics, 1760-1914
ISBN: 9781403990006 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This collection offers the first detailed investigation of political life in nineteenth-century London. London politics did not share the free-trade and civil-equality preoccupations of the provinces which currently dominate scholarly literature. As these essays reveal, the capital remained more concerned with older struggles for political independence. By highlighting the inability of existing accounts to accommodate metropolitan distinctiveness, the collection aims to stimulate a major reappraisal not of London politics alone, but of Victorian political history more generally.
