ISBN: 9781780762937 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Queen Victoria and her family loved the pantomime, so did her subjects of all classes.
The English Pantomime is one of the most popular, least analysed of all theatrical forms.

This continual evolution is traced by Jeffrey Richards in the first history of panto through its 'Golden Age' in Victorian England. He explores the spectacle, the slapstick, and the talent for subversion that nineteenth-century pantomime had - and still has in different ways. His story,...

The Popes and the Papacy in the Early Middle Ages (Routledge Revivals): 476-752
ISBN: 9781138777842 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 422 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There has been a tendency to the view the history of the early medieval papacy predominantly in ideological terms, which has resulted in the over-exaggeration of the idea of the papal monarchy. In this study, first published in 1979, Jeffrey Richards questions this view, arguing that whilst the papacy's power and responsibility grew during the period under discussion, it did so by a series of historical accidents rather than a coherent radical design.
