Written in the late 1800's, The History of London by Sir Walter Besant gives an account of the city from its humble beginnings to the greatness of the Victorian era. Although its premise is the history of London, it does not confine itself to mere facts about that one city, but explores what life was like for the citizens of London across its long history, and the links between historical events, culture and the experiences of Londoners and wider society.

ISBN: 9781527560987 / Twarda / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Some published their findings in the journals of these institutions. Towards the end of the nineteenth century,...

A Victorian Woman's Place: Public Culture in the Nineteeth Century
ISBN: 9781845112103 / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While the image of bourgeois Victorian women as 'angels in the house' isolated from the world in private domesticity has long been dismissed as an unrealistic ideal, women have remained marginalised in many recent accounts of the public culture of the middle class. Simon Morgan aims to redress the balance, by drawing on a variety of sources including private documents he argues that women actually played an important role in the formation of the public identity of the Victorian middle class. Through their support for cultural and philanthropic associations and their engagement in political...

History and the Supernatural in Medieval England
ISBN: 9780521154819 / Miękka / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a fascinating study of religious culture in England from 1050 to 1250. Drawing on the wealth of material about religious belief and practice that survives in the chronicles, Carl Watkins explores the accounts of signs, prophecies, astrology, magic, beliefs about death, and the miraculous and demonic. He challenges some of the prevailing assumptions about religious belief, questioning in particular the attachment of many historians to terms such as 'clerical' and 'lay', 'popular' and 'elite', 'Christian' and 'pagan' as explanatory categories. The evidence of the chronicles is also set...

Rothschild Buildings: Life in an East-End Tenement Block 1887 - 1920
ISBN: 9780712601467 / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Winner of the Jewish Chronicle Harold H. Wingate Literary Award. Rothschild Buildings were typical of the "model dwellings for the working classes" which were such an important part of the response to late-Victorian London's housing problem. They were built for poor but respectable Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, and the community which put down roots there was to be characteristic of the East End Jewish working class in its formative years. By talking to people who grew up in the Buildings in the 1890s and after, and using untapped documentary evidence from a wide range of public and...

Every country has the aristocracy it deserves; so what does it say about Britain that it is in the process of removing the last vestiges of political power from one of the most ancient hereditary aristocracies in the world, and one, moreover, whose record of public service has been impeccable? The word aristocracy has many connotations, some good,...
