View Rights PortalDie Phantastik nimmt im Werk Jack Londons einen wesentlichen Platz ein. Das Unwirkliche, Unerklärbare, Rätselhafte beschäftigte ihn bis zu seinen letzten Erzählungen, die er vor seinem Tode im Jahre 1916 noch in Angriff nahm.
This book looks at London's provision of financial and military support for parliament's war against King Charles I. It explores for the first time a series of episodic, circumstantial and unique mobilisations that spanned from late 1641 to early 1645 and which ultimately led to the establishment of the New Model Army. Based on research from two-dozen archives, Civil war London charts the successes and failures of efforts to move London's vast resources and in the process poses a number of challenges to longstanding notions about the capital's 'parliamentarian' makeup. It reveals interactions between London's Corporation, parochial communities and livery companies, between preachers and parishioners and between agitators, propagandists and common people. Within these tangled webs of political engagement reside the untold stories of the movement of money and men, but also of parliament's eventual success in the English Civil War.
Als zusammenhängende Folge für eine große Londoner Frauenzeitschrift 1931 entstanden, beschreiben diese Prosabilder aus London genau jene Orte, die ein großes Publikum in einer klassischen Schilderung der englischen Hauptstadt erwarten durfte. Es ist das Portrait einer Metropole, die ihrer großen Vergangenheit nachsinnt und die Gegenwart noch nicht recht fassen kann, die längst von ihr Besitz ergriffen hat.

This book about the Thatcher government and the City of London tells the compelling human story of the people and processes that made Britain's 1980s financial revolution. Fusing insider testimony with new archival discoveries, it examines high stakes and networked solutions, and uncovers new objectives that drove reforms. In so doing it demystifies a major shift in capitalism. This has implications for our understandings of government and capitalism, from the way we think about the origins of subsequent financial crises to today's growing inequalities. Survival Capitalism offers new insights into the last major restructuring of the City, disrupts myths surrounding the logics of the market, and pays attention to people and processes at a time when the City of London again faces major change as Britain seeks to find its place outside the European Union in the wake of Brexit.
Jack Tar to Union Jack examines the intersection between empire, navy, and manhood in British society from 1870 to 1918. Through analysis of sources that include courts-martial cases, sailors' own writings, and the HMS Pinafore, Conley charts new depictions of naval manhood during the Age of Empire, a period which witnessed the radical transformation of the navy, the intensification of imperial competition, the democratisation of British society, and the advent of mass culture. Jack Tar to Union Jack argues that popular representations of naval men increasingly reflected and informed imperial masculine ideals in Victorian and Edwardian Britain. Conley shows how the British Bluejacket as both patriotic defender and dutiful husband and father stood in sharp contrast to the stereotypic image of the brave but bawdy tar of the Georgian navy. This book will be essential reading for students of British imperial history, naval and military history, and gender studies.

"Im Herbst 1977 fliegt die Autorin ins kühle, verregnete London. Es ist eine Reise in die eigene Vergangenheit, um 27 Jahre zurück. In London hatte Anna Maria Jokl von 1939 bis 1950 gelebt; der Ort ihres Exils war ihr immer fremd geblieben. Während die Autorin durch London geht, kehren Bilder, Erinnerungen wieder, auch aus anderen Metropolen ihres Lebens: Jerusalem, Prag, Paris, Berlin. In Kensington Garden sucht Anna Maria Jokl nach einem Baum, den während des Zweiten Weltkriegs eine deutsche Bombe zerfetzt hatte und der durch die Zerstörung eine bizarre, wuchernde Form angenommen hatte. »Den Baum war ich suchen gekommen, am Jom Kippur in London. Ich fand ihn nicht mehr.«"
Now available in paperback for the first time, this study of the modern London art market establishes the central importance of London for the development of the modern retail market in fine art. Leading experts track the emergence and development of the structures and practices that have come to characterize the commercial art system, including the commercial art gallery, the professional dealer, the exhibition cycle and its accompanying rhetoric of press coverage and publicity, and an international network for the circulation of goods. This new commercial system involved a massive transformation of the experience of viewing art; of the relationships between artists, dealers, collectors, art objects and audiences; and of the very criteria of aesthetic value itself. Its history is thus a vital part of the history of modern art, and this anthology will be of interest to art historians as well as scholars of Victorian Studies, Museum Studies, and Social History.

Crafting identities explores artisanal identity and culture in early modern London. It demonstrates that the social, intellectual and political status of London's crafts and craftsmen were embedded in particular material and spatial contexts. Through examination of a wide range of manuscript, visual and material culture sources, the book investigates for the first time how London's artisans physically shaped the built environment of the city and how the experience of negotiating urban spaces impacted directly on their distinctive individual and collective identities. Applying an innovative and interdisciplinary methodology to the examination of artisanal cultures, the book engages with the fields of social and cultural history and the histories of art, design and architecture. It will appeal to scholars of early modern social, cultural and urban history, as well as those interested in design and architectural history.
