Book Bridewell Royal Hospital  Past and Present

Download or read book Bridewell Royal Hospital Past and Present written by Alfred James Copeland and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bridewell Royal Hospital, Past and Present: A Short Account of It as Palace, Hospital, Prison, and School, With a Collection of Enteresting Memoranda Hitherto Unpublished The present volume is the outcome of an attempt to put into interesting shape and form, some of the old records and facts, respecting one of our ancient Royal Foundations. After the lapse of three hundred years, notwithstanding their somewhat altered conditions, the three institutions termed the "Royal Hospitals" of Christ's, Bridewell, and St. Thomas's still remain no mean portion of the inheritance bequeathed to the citizens of London; and it is matter of congratulation, that great good is still being done by them to the community at large. Whether for the sick and needy, or for the education of the middle classes, and the poor and necessitous, our Royal Hospitals are noble monuments in these times of the thought, care, and unselfishness of our forefathers for the benefit of others.

Download or read book A History of English Prison Administration written by Sean Mcconville and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title, first published in 1981, draws from an extensive range of national and local material, and examines how innovations in policy and administration, while solving problems or setting new objectives, frequently created or disclosed fresh difficulties, and brought different types of people into the administration and management of prisons, whose interests, values and expectations in turn often had significant effects upon penal ideas and their practical applications.

This comprehensive book will be of interest to students of criminology and history.

Book Borders and Travellers in Early Modern Europe

Download or read book Borders and Travellers in Early Modern Europe written by Thomas Betteridge and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early modern Europe was obsessed with borders and travel. It found, imagined and manufactured new borders for its travellers to cross. It celebrated and feared borders as places or states where meanings were charged and changed. In early modern Europe crossing a border could take many forms; sailing to the Americas, visiting a hospital or taking a trip through London's sewage system. Borders were places that people lived on, through and against. Some were temporary, like illness, while others claimed to be absolute, like that between the civilized world and the savage, but, as the chapters in this volume show, to cross any of them was an exciting, anxious and often a potentially dangerous act. Providing a trans-European interdisciplinary approach, the collection focuses on three particular aspects of travel and borders: change, status and function. To travel was to change, not only humans but texts, words, goods and money were all in motion at this time, having a profound influence on cultures, societies and individuals within Europe and beyond. Likewise, status was not a fixed commodity and the meaning and appearance of borders varied and could simultaneously be regarded as hostile and welcoming, restrictive and opportunistic, according to one's personal viewpoint. The volume also emphasizes the fact that borders always serve multiple functions, empowering and oppressing, protecting and threatening in equal measure. By using these three concepts as measures by which to explore a variety of subjects, Borders and Travellers in Early Modern Europe provides a fascinating new perspective from which to re-assess the way in which early modern Europeans viewed themselves, their neighbours and the wider world with which they were increasingly interacting.

Book Crime  Gender  and Sexuality in Criminal Prosecutions

Download or read book Crime Gender and Sexuality in Criminal Prosecutions written by Louis A. Knafla and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-07-30 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knafla and his contributors explore the common problems and issues that emerge from the study of class and gender in criminal prosecutions, ranging from late medieval Europe to the early 20th century. The chapters demonstrate that conceptions of crime and criminal behavior are influenced decisively by the roles of class, gender, and later race as societies evolve in search of continuity and conformity. The seven chapters in this volume, together with a major book review essay and critical reviews of sixteen major works in the area, reinforce the series as a major forum for exploring new directions in criminal justice research as it relates to issues and problems of class, gender, and race in their historical, criminological, legal, and social aspects. The chapters explore common themes and issues that emerge from the study of class and gender through policing and criminal prosecutions in the local community to growing attempts of the new nation state to gain control of the prosecutorial system. Trevor Dean and Lee Beier examine prosecutorial energy in local communities of 15th and 16th century Europe, and see instruments of peace (agreement) and war (prosecution and conviction) as worthy institutions of social control. Andrea Knox studies the prosecution of Irish women, finding that they were prominent as perpetrators of crime as well as victims. Antony Simpson shows how sexual indiscretions developed the law of blackmail in the 18th century, influencing subtle changes in gender roles. David Englander's study of Henry Mayhew reinterprets the role of class in the criminal prosecutions of the 19th century, while Arvind Verma and Philippa Levine extend the roles of class and gender that had been developed in the criminal justice system into the imperial colonies of south-east and east Asia in the 19th and early 20th centuries. An important resource for scholars, students, and researchers involved with legal, political, social, and women's history, criminal justice studies, sociology and criminology, and criminal law.

Book Shakespeare Among the Courtesans

Download or read book Shakespeare Among the Courtesans written by Duncan Salkeld and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Courtesans - women who achieve wealth, status, or power through sexual transgression - have played both a central and contradictory role in literature: they have been admired, celebrated, feared, and vilified. This study of the courtesan in Renaissance English drama focuses not only on the moral ambivalence of these women, but with special attention to Anglo-Italian relations, illuminates little known aspects of their lives. It traces the courtesan from a wry comedic character in the plays of Terence and Plautus to its literary exhaustion in the seventeenth-century dramatic works of Dekker, Marston, Webster, Middleton, Shirley and Brome. The author focuses especially on the presentation of the courtesan in the sixteenth century - dramas by Shakespeare, Marlowe, and Lyly view the courtesan as a symbol of social disease and decay, transforming classical conventions into English prejudices. Renaissance Anglo-Italian cultural and sexual relations are also investigated through comparisons of travel narratives, original source materials, and analysis of Aretino's representations of celebrated Italian courtesans. Amid these fascinating tales of aspiration, desire and despair lingers the intriguing question of who was the 'dark lady' of Shakespeare's sonnets.
