ISBN: 9780333672358 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 249 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When the War of Independence ended in 1783 many doubted Americans' ability to build a nation. Today the United States occupies a position comparable to that of Britain at the zenith of its power. Britain and America since Independence deals with Anglo-American relations in the widest sense. It shows how the transfer of hegemony from the British Empire to the United States affected the way Britons and Americans viewed one another, and its effect on the evolving cultural, economic, and political connections between the two countries.

After Slavery : Emancipation and its Discontents
ISBN: 9780714650227 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The abolition of slavery is arguably the greatest humanitarian achievement of all time. It ended an institution that had existed throughout history and taken many different forms. It was all the more remarkable for the speed with which it occurred. In the case of Western chattel slavery it was accomplished in little more than a century - which is to say between the launching of the first British anti-slavery campaign in 1788 and the ending of Brazilian slavery in 1888. In Asia and Africa, where Western ideas of liberty were viewed with suspicion and slavery was deeply rooted in the culture,...

The Music of the English Parish Church: Volume 1
ISBN: 9780521274579 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 492 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book is the most thorough and extensive history of English parish church music ever published, covering the period from the late middle ages to the present day. Through the ages English parish churches have resounded to all manner of music, ranging from the rich choral polyphony of Henry VIII's or Victoria's reigns to the bare unaccompanied psalm tunes of the seventeenth century.

A recurring theme of the book is the conflict between two...

Studies in English Church Music, 1550-1900
ISBN: 9781138375369 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Nicholas Temperley has pioneered the history of popular church music in England, as expounded in his classic 1979 study, The Music of the English Parish Church; his Hymn Tune Index of 1998; and his magisterial articles in The New Grove. This volume brings together fourteen shorter essays from various journals and symposia, both British and American, that are often hard to find and may be less familiar to many scholars and students in the field.
