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and recognition comes across in his writings, originally intended as a memoir for his family, that acts as a valuable historical document.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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated history explores every aspect of life in Manchester. Manchester is noted for the 'Industrial Revolution' – its factories, working-class people and urban development all based around its production of cotton textiles. But this is not the complete story. Manchester has always been a more vibrant place which dates back to Roman times. This book traces the development of this important city and its people from the earliest times to the present, where each period in its progress links to the next. The history of Manchester is very much based around its people, who were often pioneers, whether this be the first railway line, the first public library, fighting for greater political rights, or key wealth creators for the nation. As we advance through the twenty-first century, Manchester's role in the United Kingdom remains undiminished as it becomes ever more cosmopolitan and a northern powerhouse of economic, social and political progress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evolution of an urban scientific community under the pressures of conceptual and social change is the main focus of this book. Manchester was Victorian Britain's leading industrial city. In order to describe and analyze the transformation of science in the eighteenth century, Robert Kargon closely examines Manchester through successive stages. In so doing, he traces the evolution of science from an activity pursued by gentlemen-amateurs to a highly specialized profession.At the end of this process, the author shows, a major trans formation in our understanding of the nature of science can be discerned: scientific knowledge, it was realized, could be produced. Science was no longer regarded primarily as the di vine design rendered into laws of nature, but rather as a method, or instrument, to be applied to novel areas of human endeavor. Science had become on the one hand enterprise, and on the other expertise. In each chapter, Kargon relates the changing conception of science and its social role to the birth, growth, and character of the city's scientific institutions.The contours of the scientific community-its interests, concerns, and approaches to what it came to see as critical problem---were shaped by its civic environment. Its character, in turn, responded to the development of the disciplines represented within it. As the sciences increased in specialization and complexity during the course of the nineteenth century, they placed new stress upon the community, affecting the composition of its membership and the nature of its leading institutions. The scientific frontier reacted upon Manchester just as Manchester acted upon it. Now available in paperback, this classic work in history includes a new introduction by the author.

Book excerpt: First published in 1997, this second edition of this bibliography contains more than half as many entries again as the original selection of 1966. New sections include an annotated list of surviving apparatus and personal effects, an index of letters and printed extracts of letters, and a current plan of Manchester, as well as one of 1793, showing places with Dalton associations. Annotations are relatively more generous and the number of illustrations almost doubled. Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society was central to Daltons life and researches. It inherited almost all his manuscripts and apparatus; much of the collection was destroyed in 1940.

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.
