Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2023Who governs Britain?
Trade unions, the Conservative Party and the failure of the Industrial Relations Act 1971
by Sam Warner
Providing fresh insights from the archival record, Who governs Britain? revisits the 1970-74 Conservative government to explain why the Party tried - and failed - to reform the system of industrial relations. Designed to tackle Britain's strike problem and perceived disorder in collective bargaining, the Industrial Relations Act 1971 established a formal legal framework to counteract trade union power. As the state attempted to disengage from and 'depoliticise' collective bargaining practices, trade union leaders and employers were instructed to discipline industry. In just three-and-a-half years, the Act contributed to a crisis of the British state as industrial unrest engulfed industry and risked undermining the rule of law. Warner explores the power dynamics, strategic errors and industrial battles that destroyed this attempt to tame trade unions and ultimately brought down a government, and that shape Conservative attitudes towards trade unions to this day.

Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 1994Yerma
by Federico Garcia Lorca, Rebecca Warner
The second of Lorca's trilogy of rural dramas, Yerma, is a blend of contrasting moods through which Lorca charts the increasingly destructive obsession of a childless young country wife, and probes the darker zones of human fears and desires. The play's rich mode of expression - a combination of verbal, visual and auditory images and rhythms - is also geared to celebrating sexual attraction and fertility, creation and procreation. Through his characterization of the play's central figure, Lorca raises the question of women's social status - a controversial question both then and now, and one to which Robin Warner pays particular attention in his critical introduction to the play. He also examines the links between the dramatic structure of Yerma and the importance of cultural politics during the course of the Second Spanish Republic. The Spanish text is supported by an introduction and notes in English, as well as by an extensive vocabulary and section of discussion questions. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2011Holiday camps in twentieth-century Britain
Packaging pleasure
by Sandra Trudgen Dawson, Jeffrey Richards
This book is the story of two holiday camp chains established in the 1930s that provided thousands with packaged pleasure. Warner and Butlin's commercial camps emerged at the intersection of cultural shifts that politicised working-class leisure and consumption. Entertainment fostered in the post-war camps provided a forum for popular pleasure that reinforced the idea of a 'national' culture grown from the common experience of war. Butlin and Warner, the big commercial chains of the 50s and 60s, are enmeshed in our social and cultural history. Dawson uncovers the significance of the holiday camps to the political, economic, social, and cultural history of twentieth-century Britain, drawing on an impressive variety of sources, from government documents to trade journals, advertising, photographs, oral histories, literature, films and songs. This unique volume will be of interest to academics and specialists of British social history, popular culture and tourism studies whilst remaining accessible to enthusiasts. ;

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2013Ottonian Germany
The Chronicon of Thietmar of Merseburg
by David Warner
The Chronicon of Thietmar of Merseburg has long been recognised as one of the most important sources for the history of the tenth and early eleventh centuries, especially for the history of the Ottonian Empire. Thietmar's testimony also has special value because of his geographical location, in eastern Saxony, on the boundary between German and Slavic cultures. He is arguably the single most important witness to the early history of Poland, and his detailed descriptions of Slavic folklore are the earliest on record. This is a very important source in the medieval period, translated here in its entirety for the first time. It relates to an area of medieval studies generally dominated by German scholars, in which Anglo-phone scholars are beginning to make a substantial contribution.

Mit dem Todesengel ist nicht zu scherzen
by Lili Rebecca Kahan
Mit dem Todesengel ist nicht zu scherzen / Lili Rebecca Kahan Eine erstaunliche Geschichte des Überlebens gegen alle Widrigkeiten und eine große Leistung für die Autorin, die während des Zweiten Weltkrieges 1939–1945 ein Teenager war. Dies ist die persönliche Geschichte einer auseinandergerissenen Familie, die über lange Zeit auf der Flucht von Land zu Land ist, sich versteckt, darauf hoffend, nicht entdeckt zu werden, und ums Überleben betet. Lili Rebecca Kahan wuchs auf in dem stetigen Versuch, selbst zu überleben, nur um anderen zu helfen, ebenfalls zu überleben. Als Mitglied des Untergrunds in Budapest durchlebte sie viele gefährliche Situationen, oft dank ihrer Kenntnisse in Sprachen wie Deutsch. Dort half sie unter der Nase der Deutschen auch anderen Juden, indem sie ihnen zu neuen Identitäten verhalf, um dem Tod zu entgehen. Heute möchte sie jedes Mal, wenn eine der letzten Überlebenden diese Welt verlässt, den stillen Befehl derjenigen ehren, die umgekommen sind. „Mögen wir niemals vergessen. Wir, die letzten Überlebenden, haben die feierliche Verpflichtung, im Namen der Toten und der Lebenden Zeugnis davon zu geben, dass das, was wir ertragen haben, eine grausame Realität war, aber auch eine permanente Warnung an die Menschen sein soll, vor den Schrecken, die möglicherweise noch bevorstehen.“ Der frühere Präsident Frankreichs, Nicolas Sarkozy, sagte so treffend: „Die Tragödie des Holocaust sollte ebenso in unser Bewusstsein eingraviert werden wie in unsere Herzen.“ Eine englischsprachige E-Book-Ausgabe wurde im Herbst 2016 von Samuel Wachtmans Sons, Inc., CA, veröffentlicht. 148 Seiten, 15 x 22,5 cm.

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2015Margaret Cavendish
by Emma Rees
Margaret Cavendish was one of the most prolific, complex and misunderstood writers of the seventeenth century. A contemporary of Descartes and Hobbes, she was fascinated by philosophical, scientific and imaginative advances, and struggled to overcome the political and cultural obstacles which threatened to stop her engagement with such discourses. Emma Rees examines how Cavendish engaged with the work of thinkers such as Lucretius, Plato, Homer and Harvey in an attempt to write her way out of the exile which threatened not only her intellectual pursuits but her very existence. What emerges is the image of an intelligent, audacious and intrepid early modern woman whose tale will appeal to specialists and general readers alike. ;
