Autobiography and Fanny Kelly's Dramatic Recollections
by Gilli Bush-Bailey, Kate Dorney, Maggie B. Gale
This unique book contains the never before published script of the first ever one-woman show, written by Fanny Kelly. The script was performed in Britain in the 1830s and 40s, based on Kelly's own experiences and offers a picture of the exuberant and often bizarre Georgian entertainment world. The performance text is introduced, edited and explained by Gilli Bush-Bailey, who focuses 21st-century revisionist scholarship on Kelly's story. It is an innovative contribution to the modern debate on biographical and autobiographical writing, whilst also being a valuable text for those who wish to study comedy and women's performance. The materials and methods of the modern stand-up routine are already to be seen in this unusual text. This book will appeal to students and scholars who are involved in performance, theatre history, or biography. It is also an accessible text for the interested general reader. ;

November 2013Der Spiegel der Medici
Roman
by Melissa Bailey, Rita Seuß
Der Architekt John Carter soll eine alte viktorianische Schuhfabrik in London in moderne Luxuswohnungen umbauen. Bei einem seiner Erkundungsgänge macht er eine überraschende Entdeckung: einen versteckten Kellerraum, in dem ein wertvoller, antiker Spiegel hängt. Neugierig geworden, versucht er mehr darüber in Erfahrung zu bringen. Doch statt Antworten zu erhalten, stößt er auf eine Vielzahl rätselhafter Geschichten, die immer mehr Fragen aufwerfen: Gehörte der Spiegel einst wirklich Katharina von Medici? Wie gelangte er nach England in den Besitz des Schuhfabrikanten? Und welche Rolle spielte er in dem mysteriösen Todesfall einer jungen Frau, der sich hier hundert Jahre zuvor ereignet hat? Während John versucht, dem Geheimnis des Spiegels auf den Grund zu gehen, beginnen sich in seinem Umfeld merkwürdige Dinge zu ereignen. Und auch Ophelia, eine gleichermaßen faszinierende wie rätselhafte Frau, in die er sich Hals über Kopf verliebt, scheint einiges vor ihm zu verbergen … »Der Spiegel der Medici« ist ein fesselnder Roman über die dunklen Mächte der Liebe, über Leidenschaft, Eifersucht und Rache und über ein jahrhundertealtes Geheimnis, das seine Schatten bis in die Gegenwart wirft.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2025‘Ten Pound Poms’
A life history of British postwar emigration to Australia
by A. James Hammerton, Alistair Thomson, Becca Parkinson
A riveting history of the 'Ten Pound Poms', a wave of British citizens who migrated to Australia and New Zealand after the Second World War. Between the 1940s and 1970s, more than a million Britons migrated to Australia. They were the famous 'Ten Pound Poms' and this is their story. The authors draw on a vast trove of letters, diaries and personal photographs, as well as hundreds of interviews with former migrants, to offer original insights into key historical themes. They explore people's motivations for emigrating, gender relations and family dynamics, the clashing experience of the 'very familiar and awfully strange', homesickness and the personal and national identities of both settlers and returnees. Filled with fascinating testimonies that shed light on migrant life histories, 'Ten Pound Poms' will engage readers interested in British and Australian migration history and intrigued about the power of migrant memories for individuals, families and nations.
