Download or read book Lost Elysium written by Richard Piper and published by Book Guild Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lost Elysium? quotes extensively from contemporary sources, and is illustrated in colour with images from the beginnings of Metro-land's development and new photographs of Middlesex today. In addition, following in the footsteps of Nikolaus Pevsner, Richard Piper has trodden the streets and footpaths of six Metro-land 'villages' - Wembley, Harrow, Pinner, Eastcote, Ruislip and Ickenham - recording what he saw there and giving his impressions and opinions. Piper's conclusions give insight into the long-term results of urban and suburban planning policy. There are many lessons to be learned here, as pressure to provide housing increases especially in the south-east of England."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Inventing a Republic written by Sean Kelsey and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a fresh reassessment of English politics and political culture during the Commonwealth—the brief period of parliamentary republican rule (with no monarch, royal court, or House of Lords) between the execution of Charles I in 1649, and Cromwell’s seizure of power in 1653. It focuses particularly on the problem of how to legitimate governmental authority in the absence of a monarchy and in the absence of all the symbolic and ceremonial forms through which authority had traditionally been expressed and exercised. Finally, the author argues that the Commonwealth regime was not in fact the corrupt administrative failure that it was alleged to have been by its enemies and later by many historians; instead the republican experiment was brought down by a faction no less intent on enjoying the spoils of the Stuart regime, anxious about the Commonwealth’s successes rather than alarmed by its failures. The English revolution demolished almost all political landmarks, and this book describes in vivid detail how the new republican state successfully restored the dignity of civilian government by expressing its authority through a calculated range of imagery and symbolism. Individual chapters focus on the occupation and revival of the abandoned royal palace of Whitehall by members of the new regime; the public spectacle mounted to celebrate its military victories; the ritual and ceremony with which it dignified everyday politics; and the invention of a new state iconography to replace familiar forms such as the crown and the royal seal. These efforts of the Republic to graft its own symbols and rhetoric onto the familiar political culture of the monarchical Stuart state secured an increasingly broad degree of support and, indeed, enthusiasm from its citizens. However, the steady growth of the regime’s stability and prestige was seen by the army as a threat to its power, and in 1653 they acted, lest the Republic continue to harden into an unassailable form.
