Acts of Desire: Women and Sex on Stage 1800-1930
ISBN: 9780199691357 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From seduced maidens to adulterous wives, bigamists, courtesans, kept women and streetwalkers, the so-called 'fallen woman' was a ubiquitous and enduring figure on the Victorian and Edwardian stage. Acts of Desire traces the theatrical representation of illicit female sexuality from early nineteenth-century melodramas, through sensation dramas, Ibsenite sex-problem plays and suffrage dramas, to early social realism and the well-made plays of Pinero, Jones, Maugham, and Coward. This study reveals and analyses enduring plot lines and tropes that continue to influence contemporary theatre and...

Britain, Europe and Emu
ISBN: 9780333773383 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 291 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book shows how the transformation of Britain's economic performance has been based on control of public expenditure, improving competitiveness, co-operative industrial relations and a large favourable contribution from inward investment. In contrast, Europe has suffered from rising unemployment, while misguided trade policies have obstructed the exploitation of the IT revolution. Europe's failures will undermine the EMU project. Britain will do well to keep clear. The book concludes with chapters on the modern relevance of Locke on inflation, Ricardo on public debt and Condillac on the...

This text shows how the transformation of Britain's economic performance is in contrast to Europe's which has suffered from rising unemployment and a lack of exploitation of the IT revolution.

Revising Wilde Society and Subversion in the Plays of Oscar Wilde
ISBN: 9780198121831 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A radical re-examination of Oscar Wilde's plays, Revising Wilde challenges long-established views of the writer as a dilettante and dandy. Instead Wilde emerges as a serious philosopher and social critic who used his plays to subvert the traditional values of Victorian literature and society. Sos Eltis traces Wilde's painstaking revisions and redrafting of his plays, and uncovers Wilde's subtle methods of lampooning his conventional sources. In the process Eltis discovers, concealed in successive versions, Wilde the anarchist, the socialist, and the feminist. Taking into account the most...

Routes to Slavery: Direction, Ethnicity and Mortality in the Transatlantic Slave Trade
ISBN: 9780714643908 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The scale of the Atlantic slave trade has been a central issue in recent debates over transatlantic slavery from 1500 to 1867. Research has generated a vast amount of data on slaving voyages.

The Rise of African Slavery in the Americas
ISBN: 9780521655484 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Exploring the paradox of the concurrent development of slavery and freedom in the European domains, The Rise of African Slavery in the Americas provides a fresh interpretation of the development of the English Atlantic slave system. The book outlines a major African role in the evolution of the Atlantic societies before the nineteenth century and argues that the transatlantic slave trade was a result of African strength rather than African weakness. It also addresses changing patterns of group identity to account for the racial basis of slavery in the early modern Atlantic World.

Economic Growth & End of Transatlantic Slave Trade
ISBN: 9780195041354 / Angielski / Twarda / 1987 / 434 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This watershed study is the first to consider in concrete terms the consequences of Britain's abolition of the Atlantic slave trade. Why did Britain pull out of the slave trade just when it was becoming important for the world economy and the demand for labor around the world was high? Caught between the incentives offered by the world economy for continuing trade at full tilt and the ideological and political pressures from its domestic abolitionist movement, Britain chose to withdraw, believing, in part, that freed slaves would work for low pay which in turn would lead to greater and...
