Описание: All four figures in this volume have been canonized as central to ‘stage-centred’ Shakespearean scholarship and stage practice. From William Poel’s reproductions of early modern stages in the late nineteenth century to Sam Wanamaker’s reconstruction of the Globe on London’s South Bank, they all viewed Shakespeare’s plays as being enmeshed in the social and historical dynamics of theatremaking and theatregoing. The volume considers how their attempts to recapture early modern performance conditions can be considered progressive.

Описание: This book celebrates gothic horror. These eleven tales of terror span the distance from Victorian times to the present day, from Egyptian tombs to modern streets, from creaking ships to stately mansions, and from good intentions to damnation. Mysterious locales, mystical artifacts, eerie omens, and macabre machinations converge to delight and horrify even the most complacent among us in these atmospheric accounts of guilt, revenge and obsession. Be it mad science performed on human bodies or madness infecting the soul, Anton Von Stefan examines what lies beneath the veneer of familiarity to see what hides from us in the shadows. Be prepared -- your hair will bristle and your jaw will drop. Covering your eyes wont make the words on the page go away, it will just burn the images deeper into your mind.
Описание: The Banbury Cross Series was a collection of 12 volumes of books edited by Grace Rhys and published in London by Dent in the 1890s. Each book is attractively illustrated with full page and partial page pen and ink drawings in a classic Art Nouveau style by leading artists of the era. The legendary figure of East Anglian folklore, Tom Hickathrift, appears next to the curious tale 'The Fairy Gifts' in this volume of the series. Accompanied by H. Granville Fell's neat black and white illustrations. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.

Описание: The purpose of Granville Sharpe's Cases on Slavery is twofold: first, to publish previously unpublished legal materials principally in three important cases in the 18th century on the issue of slavery in England, and specifically the status of black people who were slaves in the American colonies or the West Indies and who were taken to England by their masters. The unpublished materials are mostly verbatim transcripts made by shorthand writers commissioned by Granville Sharp, one of the first Englishmen to take up the cause of the abolition of the slave trade and slavery itself. Other related unpublished material is also made available for the first time, including an opinion of an attorney general and some minor cases from the library of York Minster. On the slave ship Zong, there are transcripts of the original declaration, the deposition by the chief mate, James Kelsall and an extract from a manuscript that Professor Martin Dockray was working on before his untimely death. The second purpose, outlined in the Introduction, is to give a social and legal background to the cases and an analysis of the position in England of black servants/slaves brought to England and the legal effects of the cases, taking into account the new information provided by the transcripts. There was a conflict in legal authorities as to whether black servants remained slaves, or became free on arrival in England. Lord Mansfield, the chief justice of the court of King's Bench, was a central figure in all the cases and clearly struggled to come to terms with slavery. The material provides a basis for tracing the evolution of his thought on the subject. On the one hand, the huge profits from slave production in the West Indies flooded into England, slave owners had penetrated the leading institutions in England and the pro-slavery lobby was influential. On the other hand, English law had over time established rights and liberties which in the 18th century were seen by many as national characteristics. That tradition was bolstered by the ideas of the Enlightenment. By about the 1760s it had become clear that there was no property in the person, and by the 1770s that such servants could not be sent abroad without their consent, but whether they owed an obligation of perpetual service remained unresolved.
