Augustan and Julio-Claudian Athens: A New Epigraphy and Prosopography
ISBN: 9789004170094 / Angielski / Twarda / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The Epigraphical Catalogue (Part I) represents both a...

The Poor in England 1700-1850: An Economy of Makeshifts
ISBN: 9780719080432 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This fascinating study investigates the experience of English poverty between 1700 and 1900 and in the ways in which the poor made ends meet. The phrase 'economy of makeshifts' has often been used to summarise the patchy, desperate and sometimes failing strategies of the poor for material survival. Incomes or benefits derived from such strategies allegedly ranged from wages supported by under-employment via petty crime through to charity, but allusions to this array of makeshifts usually fall short of answering vital questions about how and when the poor secured access to them. This book...
