Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lawson's Tyneside Celebrities: Sketches of the Lives and Labours of Famous Men of the North The designation we have ascribed to these persons is a high, but not an improper one. A celebrity is one who has risen above his fellows in position, who has exerted a more than ordinary influence on Society, and who, because of his superior powers, is regarded as an exception, and is thus exceptionally named. That the subjects of the following sketches were such, will clearly appear when it is discovered that they could claim not mere scholarship, but mastership; not only a knowledge of the law, but an authority in the law; not skill alone, but the fathership of the art; not an acquaintance with contrivance, merely, but the invention of the system; in short, the pre-eminently highest place in their profession and calling. Moreover, when their circumstances are contrasted with their achievements, greater merit attaches to them. They felt the pressure of limited means. Their hard manual labour was followed by earnest mental toil. Every niche higher in the temple of fame, was secured after strenuous exertion. The golden links of their glorious career were mostly brightened by the polishing of industry. The more, indeed, their characters are analysed, the more their worth is perceptible. They not only won, but main tained exalted positions amongst the ripest scholars, the greatest engineers, and the most gifted men of their day. They stood abreast of such as Fox, Pitt, Burke, Thurlow, Richmond, and their talented contemporaries, who formed as brilliant a galaxy of Lords and Commons as ever entered the British Houses of Parliament. They vied with men of such world-wide repute as Brunel, Carey, Reynolds, and4 tyneside celebrities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Northern Identities written by Neville Kirk and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have witnessed an explosion of academic and popular interest in the issue of social identity. Yet the subject areas of regional and sub-regional identities, and historical engagements between ’the regional’, ’the local’ and ’the national’, remain very neglected. Seeking to make a contribution towards redressing these areas of neglect and to further advancing our knowledge and understanding of the general issue of social identity, this volume of essays offers the reader an exploration of some of the rich and varied, historical interpretations of ’the North’ and ’Northernness’. The focus rests mainly, but not exclusively, upon the North of England. Taken as a whole, the essays highlight the contingent, fluid, and ambiguous nature of ’Northenness’, its complex and shifting interplay with feelings of localism and nationalism, and the profound, if varying, influences of class, race, gender, sport, tourism, music and political and economic structures and concerns upon ’northern’ identities. This book will hold a general appeal to readers interested in the issue of social identity, especially in its regional and local manifestations and engagements. It will find a wide readership across the humanities and social sciences. It should be compulsory reading for those in New Labour addressing the issue of the ’North-South divide’.

Download or read book Northumbria written by Robert Colls and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North East is probably England's most distinctive region. A place of strong character with a very special sense of its past, it is, as William Hutchinson remarked in 1778, 'truly historical ground'. This is a book about both the ancient Anglian kingdom of Northumbrian, which stretched from the Humber to the Scottish border, and the ways in which the idea of being a Northumbrian, or a northerner, or someone from the 'North East', persisted in the area long after the early English kingdom had fallen. It examines not only the history of the region, but also the successive waves of identity that that history has bestowed over a very long period of time. Successful nations write about themselves in these terms; so why not regions? Northumbria existed before 'England' began but is still with us in name, and in the way we think about ourselves. A series of sections, entitled Christian Kingdom, Borderland and Coalfield, New Northumbria, Cultural Region and Northumbrian Island, explore the region on the grand scale, from the very beginning, and bring a sharp sense of history to bear on the various threads that have influenced the making of modern regional identity. The book is a work of exceptional scholarship. Never before have so many acclaimed historians addressed together the issues which have affected this special region. Clearly written, and rich in ideas, chapters explore the physical origins of Northumbria and consider just how the pressing political and military claims of adjoining states shaped and tempered it. There are further chapters on art, music, mythology, dialect, history, economy, poetry, politics, religion, antiquarianism, literature and settlement. They show how Northumbrians have lived and died, and looked forward and back, and these accounts of the North East's past will surely help in the shaping of its future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to redress the balance of reporting in the sport's literature which has always favoured the activities of aquatic gentlemen at the public schools, Oxford and Cambridge Universities, Henley Regatta and on the River Thames. This study focuses on the many who helped instigate and nurture the sport but who have been forgotten due to their not being associated with the elite of the sport.
