Paperback. Condition: New. Produced between 1850 and 1862, London Labour and the London Poor is one of the most significant examples of nineteenth century oral history. The collection teems with the minute particulars of the everyday-bits and pieces of London lives assembled into a precarious whole by the author, editor, and principal investigator, Henry Mayhew. Mayhew was interested in the social fabric of people's lives, their labour and earnings, but also their families, education, leisure time, and religious beliefs. What gives his "case studies" such immediacy is that they seem to flow unprompted and uninterrupted from the mouths of his subjects: street sellers, dock labourers, musicians, rat catchers, vagrants, chimney sweeps, thieves, and prostitutes.All are captured in this newly annotated and abridged edition of Mayhew's four-volume work. Historical appendices include a contemporary map of London, reviews of London Labour, and other slum journalism from the period.Key featuresThe only edition with appendices.…

Paperback. Condition: New. In this moment of climate precarity, Victorian studies scholar Barbara Leckie considers the climate crisis as a problem of time. Spanning the long nineteenth century through our current moment, her interdisciplinary treatment of climate change at once rethinks time and illustrates that the time for climate action is now. Climate Change, Interrupted argues that linear, progress-inflected temporalities are not adequate to a crisis that defies their terms. Instead, this book advances a theory and practice of interruption to rethink prevailing temporal frameworks. At the same time, it models the anachronistic, time-blending, and time-layering temporality it advances. In a series of experimental chapters informed by the unlikely trio of Walter Benjamin, Donna Haraway, and Virginia Woolf, Leckie reinflects and cowrites the traditions and knowledges of the long nineteenth century and the current period in the spirit of climate action collaboration. The current moment demands as many approaches as possible, invites us to take risks, and asks scholars and activists adept at storytelling to participate in the conversation. Climate Change, Interrupted, accordingly, invests in interruption to tell a different story of the climate crisis.…

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: as new. First edition. First printing. As new in as new dust jacket. Hardcover. 300 pp. with bibliography, index. Illustrations. Through the Victorian period and into the early 20th century, adultery, it is often assumed, was not a major concern of English culture. The apparent absense of adultery---indeed all explict representations of sexuality---in turn made censorship for obscene libel unnecessary---very few writers (so conventional wisdom has it) were bold enough to defy the powerful implicit restraints. The author here, however, demonstrates that adultery preoccupied English culture during the period; it was, after the 1857 Matrimonial Causes Act , prominently discussed in divorce court and transcriptions of divorce trials were popular front-page features for almost all daily newspapers. At the same time, as adultery stood at the cneter of sensation novels, literary reviews and cultural debates stronly encouraged serious novelists to avoid the topic.…
