Описание: The Fields of Britannia is the first book to explore how far the countryside of Roman Britain has survived in use through to the present day, shaping the character of our modern countryside.
Описание: Focusing on Glasgow’s earliest surviving music hall, the Britannia, later the Panopticon, this book explores the role of one of the city’s most iconic cultural venues within the cosmopolitan entertainment market that emerged in British cities in the nineteenth century. Shedding light on the increasing diversity of commercial entertainment provided by such venues – offering everything from music hall, early cinema and amateur nights to waxworks, menageries and freak shows – this study also encompasses the model of community-based, working-class music hall which characterised the Panopticon’s later years, challenging narratives of the primacy of city centre variety.Providing a comprehensive analysis of this dynamic popular theatre of the industrial age, Maloney examines the role of the hall’s managers, marketing and promotional strategies, audiences, and performing genres from the hall’s opening in 1859 until final closure in 1938. The book also explores stage representations of Irish and Jewish immigrant communities present in surrounding city centre areas, demonstrating the Britannia’s diasporic links to other British cities and centres in North America, thus providing a multifaceted and pioneering account of this still extant Victorian music hall.

Описание:
"Since the presence of copper in the mountains behind Britannia Beach was discovered in 1898 it is estimated that about 60,000 men have been employed there. Some have worked for a grubstake, some have found Britannia a place for summer employment, some have worked off and on as they drifted from mine to mine and some came with their families and stayed until retirement.
Many stories could be told of life in what for so long, were the isolated camps that comprised Britannia Mines. This book was first written by the well known historian, Bruce Ramsey, attempts, for the first time within our knowledge to collect and preserve the historical data and some of the anecdotal material. It will be a source of accurate information for the curious and interested and a stimulus to the recollection of happy memories for the legion of Britannia-ites."

Описание: On the basis of new evidence from the Ottoman archives in Istanbul, Karl Barbir challenges the current interpretation of Ottoman rule in Damascus during the eighteenth century. He argues that the prevailing themes of decline and stagnation--usually applied to the entire century--in fact apply only to the latter half of the century. This discovery,
