Описание: Since his death in 1896, William Morris has come to be regarded as one of the giants of the nineteenth century. But his genius was so many-sided and profound that its full extent has rarely been grasped. With penetrating insight, Fiona MacCarthy has managed to encompass all the different facets of Morris` complex character, shedding light on his immense creative powers as artist and designer of furniture, fabrics, wallpaper, stained glass, tapestry and books, and as a poet, novelist and translator; his psychology and his emotional life; his frenetic activiies as polemicist and reformer; and his remarkable circle of friends, literary, artistic and political.

Описание: High Tension lends an entirely different dimension to the history of the great hydro-electric Shannon Scheme of 1925-1929. Hitherto the story has been told from an engineering viewpoint. Now historian Michael McCarthy brings new perspectives to bear on the Irish Free State's most audacious construction project at Ardnacrusha. How did the German and Irish workforces get on? What was life like for the 5000-odd navvies and their families, many of them living in barns and pigsties along the nine-mile stretch of the 'Irish Klondyke'? How did the local farmers and householders in Clare and Limerick cope with the massive explosions and disruptions? How did those who lost homes, lands, livelihoods and loved ones (53 died and hundreds were injured during construction) cope with the trauma and hardship? The guns of the Civil War were scarcely silenced when the Irish government embarked on this huge undertaking, with vision and scarce resources. High Tension details the interdepartmental rivalry among civil servants, the struggles with the labour movement and strong-arm tactics of Joe McGrath, the dogfights with vested interest groups and overburdened local services, and the compensation battles that dragged on years after the Scheme opened. On the 75th anniversary of that opening it seems fitting to tell for the first time this fascinating story.

Описание: A wonderful snapshot of a moment in history - the final swansong for the debutantes and an era of aristocratic British social history. The author and her fellow `debs`, or `gels`, were taking part in a remarkable remnant of the rituals of aristocratic power. The system had been in operation almost unchanged since the 18th century. It was a female right of passage, an elaborate initiation ceremony marking the emergence of the virgin out of the schoolroom and into society at the now marriageable age of 17. This is a remarkable portrait of England in the past half century, filtered through some of its most colourful and eccentric inhabitants.
