"Cleansing the City: Sanitary Geographies in Victorian London" explores not only the challenges faced by reformers as they strove to clean up an increasingly filthy city but the resistance to their efforts.
Beginning in the 1830s, reform-minded citizens, under the banner of sanitary improvement, plunged into London s dark and dirty spaces and returned with the material they needed to promote public health legislation and magnificent projects of sanitary engineering. Sanitary reform, however, was not always met with unqualified enthusiasm. While some improvements, such as...

Forgotten London: Exploring the Hidden Life of the City
ISBN: 9780711287648 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. London became the first megalopolis in the world in the nineteenth century. It was the centre of international trade and finance, the seat of Empire and the nexus of world power. However, this book is not about the familiar city of pomp, power and politics, but looks instead at the everyday lives of the people that gave it its vitality, its highlights and shadows. Covering the period from the Victorian era to the dawn of World War II, this is the formative period of the city we know today. The book will be fully illustrated with photos, illustrations and works of art, and colourised...

Living in Sin: Cohabiting as Husband and Wife in Nineteenth-Century England
ISBN: 9780719085697 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Living in sin' is the first book-length study of cohabitation in nineteenth-century England, based on research into the lives of hundreds of couples. 'Common-law' marriages did not have any legal basis, so the Victorian courts had to wrestle with unions that resembled marriage in every way, yet did not meet its most basic requirements.
The majority of those who lived in irregular unions did so because they could not marry legally. Others chose not to marry, from indifference, from class differences, or because they dissented from marriage for philosophical reasons. This book looks at each...

Violent Victorians: Popular Entertainment in Nineteenth-Century London
ISBN: 9780719086854 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We are often told that the Victorians were far less violent than their forebears: over the course of the nineteenth century, violent sports were mostly outlawed, violent crime, including homicide, began to decline, and bodily punishments, including hanging, were increasingly hidden from public view. They were also much more respectable, and actively sought orderly, uplifting, domestic and refined pastimes. Yet these were the very same people who celebrated the exceptionally violent careers of anti-heroes such as the brutal puppet Punch and the murderous barber Sweeney Todd. We are often told that the Victorians were far less violent than their forebears: over the course of the nineteenth century, violent sports were mo... |
