Contemporary Thought on Nineteenth Century Socialism

Contemporary Thought on Nineteenth Century Socialism

This second volume considers various socialist impulses and developments after the collapse of the Owenite movement in Britain. Interventions by some leading Christian Socialists will illuminate one important tendency; publications by O’Brien another less vital strand. Central to this volume however will be far less well-known pamphlets book extracts and articles in the periodical press by national and local co-operative writers and activists who appropriated and transformed the legacy of utopian socialism in the second half of the nineteenth century. Old Owenites are naturally included though more emphasis is given to reworkings by a younger generation of co-operators now mostly forgotten. The volume will also cover relationships and controversies between co-operators and late nineteenth century state socialists who attempted to portray the co-operative movement as merely diversionary for the working class. | Contemporary Thought on Nineteenth Century Socialism

Twentieth Century Russia Ninth Edition

Twentieth Century Russia Ninth Edition

Donald Treadgoldwas one of the most distinguished Russian historians of his generation. His Twentieth Century Russia a standard text in colleges and universities for several decades has been regularly revised and expanded to reflect new events and scholarship. The present revision by Professor Herbert Ellison contains a major chapter on the Yeltsin era and brings the Russian story to the final year of the century. Twice in the twentieth century the collapse of the Russian state and empire has been followed by an effort to build a democracy on the Western model. The first effort succumbed within a few months to Lenin's communist revolution whose ideas and institutions dominated the history of Russia and eventually much of the world during the succeeding seventy-four years. In August 1991 an attempt by Soviet leaders to suppress democratic and nationalist movements unleashed by the Gorbachev reforms and already victorious in Eastern Europe precipitated instead an anti-communist revolution under the leadership of Boris Yeltsin. The revolution and the sweeping transformation that followed are treated in the new edition which assesses the aims and scope of the first decade of Russia's second revolution. The transformation included a new constitutional structure two fully democratic parliamentary elections and a presidential election (with another of each soon to come) a vigorous revival of political parties and political debate and major questions about Russia's political future. Against the broad background of the Russian experience over a turbulent century it raises the major questions: What are the prospects for Russian democracy? Why are the communists following an anti-communist revolution the most powerful parliamentary party in Russia's new parliament and what is their impact? Why has the conversion to a market economy proved so difficult and painful and what are its prospects? How has Russia related to the new states that were once fellow repub | Twentieth Century Russia Ninth Edition

Flirtation and Courtship in Nineteenth-Century British Culture

Flirtation and Courtship in Nineteenth-Century British Culture

This is volume one of a three-volume set that brings together a rich collection of primary source materials on flirtation and courtship in the nineteenth-century. Introductory essays and extensive editorial apparatus offer historical and cultural contexts of the materials included Throughout the long nineteenth-century a woman’s life was commonly thought to fall into three discrete developmental stages; personal formation and a gendered education; a young woman’s entrance onto the marriage market; and finally her emergence at the apogee of normative femininity as wife and mother. In all three stages of development there was an unspoken awareness of the duplicity at the heart of this carefully cultivated femininity. What women were taught no matter their age was that if you desired anything in life it behooved you to perform indifference. This meant that for women the art of flirtation and feigning indifference were viewed as essential survival skills that could guarantee success in life. These three volumes document the many ways in which nineteenth-century women were educated in this seemingly universal wisdom but just as frequently managed to manipulate subvert and navigate their way through such proscribed norms to achieve their own desires. Presenting a wide range of documents from novels memoirs literary journals newspapers plays poetry songs parlour games and legal documents this collection will illuminate a far more diverse set of options available to women in their quest for happiness and a new understanding of the operations of courtship and flirtation the central concerns of a nineteenth-century woman’s life. The volumes will be of interest to scholars of history literature gender and cultural studies with an interest in the nineteenth-century. | Flirtation and Courtship in Nineteenth-Century British Culture

Sound and Science in Nineteenth-Century Britain is a four-volume set of primary sources which seeks to define our historical understanding of the relationship between British scientific knowledge and sound between 1815 and 1900.

In nineteenth-century Britain sound was not just a phenomenon to be studied but central to the practice of science itself and broader understandings over nature and the universe. This collection accompanied by extensive editorial commentary will be of great interest to students and scholars of the History of Science. | Science and Sound in Nineteenth-Century Britain Sound Transformed
