Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blackpool is Britain's favourite seaside resort. Each year millions of visitors come to walk on its three piers, ride donkeys, enjoy shows at the Winter Gardens, scream on the thrilling rides at the Pleasure Beach and ride the lift to the top of the Tower. Generations of holidaymakers have stayed in its hotels, lodging houses and bed and breakfasts and all have succumbed to its delectable fish and chips. Two centuries of tourism has left behind a rich heritage, but Blackpool has also inherited a legacy of social and economic problems, as well as the need for comprehensive new sea defences to protect the heart of the town. In recent years this has led to the transformation of its seafront and to regeneration programmes to try to improve the town, for its visitors and residents. This book celebrates Blackpool's rich heritage and examines how its colourful past is playing a key part in guaranteeing that it has a bright future.

Download or read book London Labour and the London Poor written by Henry Mayhew and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assembled from a series of newspaper articles first published in the newspaper *Morning Chronicle* throughout the 1840s, this exhaustively researched, richly detailed survey of the teeming street denizens of London is a work both of groundbreaking sociology and salacious voyeurism. In an 1850 review of the survey, just prior to its initial book publication, William Makepeace Thackeray called it "tale of terror and wonder" offering "a picture of human life so wonderful, so awful, so piteous and pathetic, so exciting and terrible, that readers of romances own they never read anything like to it." Delving into the world of the London "street-folk"-the buyers and sellers of goods, performers, artisans, laborers and others-this extraordinary work inspired the socially conscious fiction of Charles Dickens in the 19th century as well as the urban fantasy of Neil Gaiman in the late 20th. Volume I explores the lives of: the "wandering tribes" costermongers sellers of fish, fruits and vegetables sellers of books and stationery sellers of manufactured goods women and children on the streets and more. English journalist HENRY MAYHEW (1812-1887) was a founder and editor of the satirical magazine *Punch.*

Download or read book The Impact Of The Industrial Revolution In The Victorian Factory Novel written by Diana Cordea and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Industrial Revolution was one of the most significant historical, scientific and social events ever to take place in England and which profoundly altered the whole British society. Its impact can also be traced within the field of literature, where a great number of major Victorian novelists chose to represent the social truths of the civic society, thus creating the new literary genre of the social novel. One sub-genre of the social novel however, the industrial or Condition-of-England novel, was particularly concerned with the portrayal of the social consequences of the Industrial Revolution in England. The meaningful factory novels of writers such as Charlotte Tonna, Elizabeth Stone, Benjamin Disraeli, Charlotte Bronte, Charles Dickens or Elizabeth Gaskell popularized the industrial novel and approached pressing issues like the confrontation between the Victorian society and industrialization, the relationship between masters and workers, the working conditions or the societal turbulence which inevitably occurred.
