Karl Marx: Greatness and Illusion
ISBN: 9780674971615 / Angielski / Twarda / 768 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) As much a portrait of his time as a biography of the man, Karl Marx: Greatness and Illusion returns the author of Das Kapital to his nineteenth-century world, before twentieth-century inventions transformed him into Communism's patriarch and fierce lawgiver. Gareth Stedman Jones depicts an era dominated by extraordinary challenges and new notions about God, human capacities, empires, and political systems--and, above all, the shape of the future. In the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo, a Europe-wide argument began about the industrial transformation of England, the...

Crime and Poverty in 19th-Century England: The Economy of Makeshifts
ISBN: 9781441155085 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) It has long been suggested that poverty was responsible for a criminal underclass emerging in Britain during the nineteenth century. Until quite recently, historians did little to challenge this perception. Using innovative quantitative and qualitative data analysis techniques, this book looks in detail at some of the causal factors that motivated the poorer classes to commit crime, or act in ways that transgressed acceptable standards of behaviour. It demonstrates how the strategies that these individuals employed varied between urban and rural environments, and shows how the poor railed...

The Slave Trade and the Origins of International Human Rights Law
ISBN: 9780199368990 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) There is a broad consensus among scholars that the idea of human rights was a product of the Enlightenment but that a self-conscious and broad-based human rights movement focused on international law only began after World War II. In this narrative, the nineteenth century's absence is conspicuous--few have considered that era seriously, much less written books on it. But as Jenny Martinez shows in this novel interpretation of the roots of human rights law, the foundation of the movement that we know today was a product of one of the nineteenth century's central moral causes: the movement to...

French Women and the Empire: The Case of Indochina
ISBN: 9780199640362 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) French Women and the Empire is the first book-length investigation of colonial gender politics in Third Republic France, using Indochina as a case study. Its departure point is the interrogation of the dramatic change in the French colonialist view of the empire as an exclusively male preserve where women feared to tread. At the turn of the century, a reverse discourse emerged in the metropole, forcefully arguing that colonial female emigration was essential to "true" colonisation.
The study begins by analysing the highly complex web of interconnected factors underlying this radical... French Women and the Empire is the first book-length investigation of colonial gender politics in Third Republic France, using Indochina as a case stu...

ISBN: 9781409411147 / Angielski / Twarda / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The purpose of this collection is to bring together representative examples of the most recent work that is taking an understanding of children and childhood in new directions. The two key overarching themes are diversity: social, economic, geographical, and cultural; and agency: the need to see children in industrial England as participants - even protagonists - in the process of historical change, not simply as passive recipients or victims.

Sentimental Masculinity and the Rise of History, 1790-1890
ISBN: 9781107694255 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Mike Goode challenges received accounts of the development of modern historical thought, arguing that, in Romantic and Victorian Britain, struggles over historical authority were as much disputes over the nature of proper masculinity as they were contests over ideas and interpretations. Drawing on primary materials from such diverse fields as political economy, moral philosophy, medicine, antiquarian study, and visual satire, Goode uncovers a Romantic historical tradition - one most influentially realized by historical novels - which held that historians must be manly and sentimental in order...

ISBN: 9780300205251 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str.

The Industrial Revolution brought not simply misery and poverty. On the contrary, Griffin shows how it raised incomes, improved literacy, and offered exciting opportunities for political action. For many, this was a period of new, and much valued, sexual and cultural freedom.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) 19th-century British imperial expansion dramatically shaped today's globalised world.
