Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid eclipse of Chartism, and the relative tranquility of the period 1848-67 has been one of the most enduring puzzles of nineteenth-century British history. This book takes a fresh look at this conundrum, treating the period between the Reform Acts of 1832 and 1867 as a coherent whole for the first time. It suggests that previous depictions of 1848 as a watershed in British history have both exaggerated the nature of the transitions which occurred at mid-century, and have over-estimated both the collapse of radical attitudes and the fading of working-class resentment. The experiences of the Manchester working class show that poverty, unemployment and hardship persisted through the mid-Victorian boom. While some workers may have taken advantage of economic opportunities and the various movements of social and moral reform promoted by the middle class to acquire respectability, in general, attempts at middle-class ’moral imperialism’ brought only marginal changes to popular culture and attitudes. Instead, it is argued, the roots of the radical collapse and of political stability lie elsewhere: in the initial failure of radical leaders to sustain a firm consensus on effective strategies of reform, and in changes in the political culture of the mid-century city which closed off spaces in which independent working-class politics could continue to function. In the context of the most important industrial city of the era, this study provides a wide-ranging analysis of the complex forces which forged the uneasy compromise on which mid-nineteenth century stability rested.
Download or read book The Victorian Music Hall written by Dagmar Kift and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-10-24 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the exception of the occasional local case study, music-hall history has until now been presented as the history of the London halls. This book attempts to redress the balance by setting music-hall history within a national perspective. Kift also sheds a new light on the roles of managements, performers and audiences. For example, the author confutes the commonly held assumption that most women in the halls were prostitutes and shows them to have been working women accompanied by workmates of both sexes or by their families. She argues that before the 1890s the halls catered predominantly to working-class and lower middle-class audiences of men and women of all ages and were instrumental in giving them a strong and self-confident identity. The hall's ability to sustain a distinct class-awareness was one of their greatest strengths - but this factor was also at the root of many of the controversies which surrounded them. These controversies are at the centre of the book and Kift treats them as test cases for social relations which provide fresh insights into nineteenth-century British society and politics.
Download or read book Women and Urban Life in Eighteenth Century England written by Rosemary Sweet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the considerable volume of research into various aspects of the social and economic, cultural and political history of eighteenth-century British towns, remarkably little has focused upon, or even reflected upon the distinctive experience of women in the urban context. Much of what research there is has explored the experience of laboring or impoverished women, or women of the social elite; by contrast, the essays in this collection take up the study of the participation of middling women in urban life. This volume brings into sharper focus the relationship between changes consequent upon urban development and shifts in the pattern of gender relations in the 18th century. The contributors address such themes as the extent to which to what extent urban change accelerated a redefinition of gender relations; the connections between urban growth, changing definitions of citizenship, and the emergence of the male gendered political subject; the role of women in a literate, consumer and industrializing society; the place of women's networks in the economic, political and social life of the town and the distinctive role played by women in areas such as philanthropy and business; and how the development of urban society in turn inflected contemporary conceputalizations of gender.

Download or read book Reminiscences of Manchester written by Louis Milroy Hayes and published by Empire Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written over the course of his lifetime, Louis Hayes' memoirs of Manchester life, "Reminiscences of Manchester" is an evocative memoir of the citys formative years. Beginning in 1840, Hayes recalls a Manchester where the countryside began at Strangeways and farms dotted the surrounding areas. During the course of his lifetime he saw Manchester grow from industrial new town to international trading centre. The story of this growth and recognition comes across in his writings, originally intended as a memoir for his family, that acts as a valuable historical document. Besides outlining the social changes in the city, Hayes profiles the key characters, prominent MPs, social reformers and members of the legal profession, many he knew personally, who made a mark in Manchester life between the years 1840 and 1905.Hayes also chronicles the various triumphs and crises that hit Manchester in this period -- the Great Flood of 1866, Queen Victoria's State Visit of 1853 that conferred city status on Manchester, the Great Treasures Exhibition of 1857 and the Cotton Famine of the 1860s brought on by the American Civil War. The author also outlines the impact made by immigrants to the city, the various traders from the Far and Near East that made an impact on Mancunian trade and society. He also documents the characters prevalent in the theatre during this period, and the 'fads' of Manchester society from popular music to amusements. An invaluable guide to those keen to know more about the formative years of the city and those who wonder what life was like for Mancunians over a century ago, "Reminiscences of Manchester" is a remarkable work re-printed here in full with additional footnotes and the illustrations published in the First Edition.

Download or read book Arab Youth written by Samir Khalaf and published by Saqi. This book was released on 2012-01-09 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011, Arab youth took to the streets in their thousands to demand their freedom. Although it is too early to speculate on the ultimate outcome of the uprisings, one auspicious feature stands out: they reveal the genesis of a new generation sparked by the desire for civil liberties, advocacy for human rights, and participatory democracy. This unique volume explores some of the antecedents of the upheavals and anticipates alternative venues of resistance that marginalized youth - from Lebanon, Syria and Palestine to Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Iran - can mobilize to realize their emancipatory expectations. Themes covered include the forging of meaningful collective identities in times of risk and uncertainty; youth militancy, neighborhood violence and youth gangs; the surge of youthful activism; and youths' expressive outlets through popular arts and street music.
