In Praise of Poverty
ISBN: 9780813122229 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In her own time and in ours, Hannah More (1745-1833) has been seen as a benefactress of the poor, writing and working selflessly to their benefit. Mona Scheuermann argues, however, that More's agenda was not simply to help the poor but to control them, for the upper classes in late eighteenth-century England were terrified that the poor would rise in revolt against Church and King. As much social history as literary study, In Praise of Poverty shows that More's writing to the poor specifically is intended to counter the perceived rabble rousing of Thomas Paine and other...

ISBN: 9781860570599 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the 18th century, when roused from the initial reluctance to take the Jacobite Rebellion seriously, supporters of the Hanoverian dynasty rallied to its defense and exposed adherents of the Stuarts as a small minority, not only in England, but even in Scotland. The result was to revenge the spectacular early successes of the Young Pretender's forces in the crushing defeat at Culloden. The leader of the government's forces, The Duke of Cumberland, was determined there would not be a third rebellion to add to those in 1715 and 1745, and his tactics and treatment of the defeated Jacobite...

ISBN: 9781476668628 / Angielski / Miękka / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the 17th century, England saw foreign foods made increasingly available to consumers and featured in recipe books, medical manuals, treatises, travel narratives, even in plays.

How Great a Crime - to tell the truth: The story of Joseph Gales and the Sheffield Register
ISBN: 9780993576263 / Angielski / Miękka / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Joseph Gales was one of the all-time great Sheffielders - forget Joe Cocker, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Sean Bean or Michael Palin. These are all minnows compared to Joseph Gales - and their stories are boring besides that of the Galeses. The Galeses story has been forgotten and has not been brought together in one place before - it is not just something dredged up from history - an irrelevant dusty skeleton. What they tried to do for freedom of the press, and for free speech - principles for which they had to flee the country, principles which they took with them to America and put into practice...
