The London Mob: Violence and Disorder in Eighteenth-Century England
ISBN: 9781852855574 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. By 1700 London was the largest city in the world, with over 500,000 inhabitants. Very weakly policed, its streets saw regular outbreaks of rioting by a mob easily stirred by economic grievances, politics or religion. If the mob vented its anger more often on property than people, eighteenth-century Londoners frequently came to blows over personal disputes. In a society where men and women were quick to defend their honour, slanging matches easily turned to fisticuffs and slights on honour were avenged in duels. In this world, where the detection and prosecution of crime was the part of the...

Prosecution and Punishment: Petty Crime and the Law in London and Rural Middlesex, C.1660-1725
ISBN: 9780521400824 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The law was one of the most potent sources of authority and stability in early modern England. Historians, however, have argued over whether the discretion and flexibility embodied in the judicial system was used as a method of social control, and by focusing their attention on felonies and on the action of the protagonists in judicial decisions they have tended to ignore rich sources of information concerning attitudes towards and experiences of the law. Misdemeanour prosecutions affected many more people (and a broader social variety of participants) than felony prosecutions, and in their...

Gender in English Society 1650-1850: The Emergence of Separate Spheres?
ISBN: 9780582103153 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this social history of gender roles, the author examines continuity and change in the respective spheres of men and women, in family life and in public activity before and during the Industrial Revolution. He re-examines the view that women had greater economic and political oppurtunities in pre-industrial England. He argues that while important changes took place in this period in the kinds of activites undertaken by the two sexes, we must redefine our understanding of the concept of separate spheres if it is to provide a meaningful characterization of the changing pattern of gender...

London Lives
ISBN: 9781107025271 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 478 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. London Lives is a fascinating new study which exposes, for the first time, the lesser-known experiences of eighteenth-century thieves, paupers, prostitutes and highwaymen. It charts the experiences of hundreds of thousands of Londoners who found themselves submerged in poverty or prosecuted for crime, and surveys their responses to illustrate the extent to which plebeian Londoners influenced the pace and direction of social policy.

30 Days Dry
ISBN: 9780996663502 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 50 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In his first poetry collection, Robert Eric Shoemaker delves deeply into the darkest haven, a rift filled with addictions of harmful and placid varieties many are familiar with. Over the course of a month the writer's attempts to remain sober and clean of all contaminants demonstrate an on-going internal battle, studded with triumphs and failures, moments of insight and moments of pain. Shoemaker's language brims with the electrical quality of one on the edge, living as best one can under societal and artistic pressures, as well as personal demons. Shoemaker's story and poetic voice are...
