Hardcover. Condición: Hardback. Condition: As new. Grub Street was a real place, a place of poverty and vice. It was also a metaphor for journalists and other writers of ephemeral publications and, by implication, the infant newspaper industry. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, journalists were held in low regard, even by their fellow journalists who exchanged torrents of mutual abuse in the pages of their newspapers. But Grub Street's vitality and its battles with authority laid the foundations of modern Fleet Street. In this book, Bob Clarke examines the origination and development of the English newspaper from its early origin in the broadsides of the sixteenth century, through the burgeoning of the press during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, to its arrival as a respectable part of the establishment in the nineteenth century. Along the way this narrative is illuminated with stories of the characters who contributed to the growth of the English press in all its rich variety of forms, and how newspapers tailored their contents to particular audiences. As well as providing a detailed chronological history, the volume focuses on specific themes important to the development of the English newspaper. These include such issues as state censorship and struggles for the freedom of the press, the growth of advertising and its effect on editorial policy, the impact on editorial strategies of taxation policy, increased literacy rates and social changes, the rise of provincial newspapers and the birth of the Sunday paper and the popular press. The book also describes the content of newspapers, and includes numerous extracts and illustrations that vividly portray the way in which news was reported to provide a colourful picture of the social history of their times. Written in a lively and engaging manner, this volume will prove invaluable to anyone with an interest in English social history, print culture or journalism. …

'In the century following the foundation of the Royal Academy in 1768, British art had an international reputation: prints spread knowledge of the work of British artists around the globe, and it was widely seen as the product of a modern, commercial society, and much admired by artists as diverse as Goya in Spain, Delacroix in France, and Bierstadt in America. In recent years, scholars working on this period have become increasingly aware of the international context of their subject, but there has been no systematic analysis of the reception of British art abroad. This collection of essays looks at the uses made of the paintings of Reynolds, Hogarth, Lawrence and their contemporaries on the continent of Europe, and in the colonies and ex-colonies of Australia and America. The authors go beyond the simple issue of 'influence' to consider how ideas and artistic conventions originating in the British Isles were adapted, appropriated or resisted in these new environments. In the process, some surprising views of British art emerge, demonstrating how a multi-faceted view from the outside can correct and enrich the narrative produced within a national school, and revealing some of the important connections that are obscured when art is studied, as it so often is, within narrow national boundaries' (Ashgate Web site). Contents: Introduction: international cross-currents in an age of nationalism, Christiana Payne; Americans in London: contemporary history painting revisited, David Bindman; Papierkultur: the British print, history and modernity in Enlightenment Germany, Anne-Marie Link; 'Everything English is the mode here': Russian reactions to British painting in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Galina Andreeva; A view of New Holland: aspects of the colonial prospect, Michael Rosenthal; 'A new people and a limited society': British art and the Spanish spectator, Sarah Symmons; A la recherche de l'école anglaise: Lawrence, Wilkie and Martin, three British artists in Restoration France, Barthélémy Jobert; 'Consciously objective and moral': Hogarth and the political artist in Vormärz Germany, William Vaughan; American landscape painting and the European paradigm, Andrew Wilton; Slavs, Brits and the question of national identity in art: Russian responses to British painting in the mid 19th century, Rosalind P. Blakesley; Unmistakably American? National myths and the historiography of landscape painting in the USA, Tim Barringer; Afterword: British art and its histories, William Vaughan; Select bibliography; Index. An 'excellent collection of ten essays variously investigating the connectivity between painting and printmaking in Britain and that in Europe, America, Russia and Australia' (John Morrison, British Journal of 18th-Century Studies). …

Series: Modern Economic and Social History. 8vo. xii, 302 pp. 20 figures, 5 tables, 2 charts, index, bibliography. Pictorial paper-backed boards. Burndy Library bookplate. Fine. ISBN: 0754633969 From the cover: "By rejecting the conventional viewpoint that timid manufacturers were conservative supporters of the plantation South and insisting that workshop owners rejected slavery, this study reinvigorates one of the Civil War's enduring interpretative battles. Of interest to scholars of business, economic, social, labour, education, urban and Civil War history, it will no doubt stimulate further debate and add a new angle to our understanding of nineteenth-century America.".…
