Meeting Places: Scientific Congresses and Urban Identity in Victorian Britain
ISBN: 9781409452379 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The promotion of knowledge was a major preoccupation of the Victorian era and, beginning in 1831 with the establishment of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, a number of national bodies were founded which used annual, week-long meetings held each year in a different town or city as their main tool of knowledge dissemination.

"Intelligent Town" is the first full-length study of Swansea s urban development from the late eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Louise Miskell tells the little-known story of how Swansea gained an unrivaled position of influence as an urban center which led to its brief claim as the metropolis of Wales, and how it then lost this status in the face of rapid urban development elsewhere in Wales.

Victorian Dundee: Images and Realities
ISBN: 9781845860912 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Victorian Dundee: a city grown prosperous on more than a century's lead in linen production and for a time the world's jute capital - 'Juteopolis'. But textile production was accompanied by a strong sense of civic pride, some remarkable architectural triumphs and perhaps a surprising enthusiasm for public and private art.

Early Victorian Dundee provided regular work and better wages than had been paid in...
