Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Manchester University Press Edition. Paperback. Prefaces to English Nineteenth Century Theatre. Tiny crease to front cover. Previous owners ex-libris name sticker to inside cover. The nineteenth-century theatre has long been neglected because it produced few 'literary' masterpieces; yet the works of such men as Boucicault, Bulwer-Lytton, Jones, Mathews, Gilbert, Dibdin, Planche and Jerrold were a basis for a strong, growing and highly varied tradition of popular and satisfying theatre without which later figures like Pinero, Wilde and Shaw could hardly have achieved what they did. In recent years nineteenth-century plays have been given much more attention by students and scholars, for thier own value and because of the vivid light they shed on the social and cultural history if the time. In these prefaces - reprinted in one volume from English Plays of the Nineteenth Century - Michael Booth examines a wide variety of plays from tragedy to extravaganza and burlesque in both a historical and a critical light, to form a comprehensive and invaluable introduction for the student to one of the most lively and entertaining periods of theatrical history. A new preface and bibliography have been specially prepared for this edition.

In 1914 Mary Borden's field hospital unit entered 'La Zone Interdite', 'the strip of land immediately behind the zone of fire', so named by the French Army because it was out of bounds to all but military personnel.

Cloth. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Previous owner ex libris name sticker to inside cover. The Impeachment of Michael de la Pole. The political disunity characteristic of Richard II's minority culminated in a major crisis in the 'Wonderful Parliament' of 1386, when the king was threatened with deposition and his leading ministers were dismissed. Of the latter, the chancellor, Michael de la Pole, earl of Suffolk, was impeached by the Commons of dereliction of duty and malversation. Although the official record is relatively full, there has been no detailed scrutiny of the impeachment as a whole. Indeed, most previous histsorians, content to reply upon impressions, have discounted the charges Suffolk faced as unjustified and unworthy. But were they? This study examines the trial afresh, in the context of Richard's reign as a whole, while devoting more attention to events before than after 1386. of its future as well as contemporary significance, however, there can be no doubt. Failing to learn the lesson of 1386, the king and Suffolk brought upon themselves and their associates the disaster which befell in the 'Merciless Parliament' of 1388: a disaster the remembrance of which helped lead the king into courses that resulted in his violent removal in 1399. Suffolk's impeachment thirteen years earlier was the primordial cause to which Richard's fall can logically be traced. 216 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
