        Charity and poverty in England, c.1680–1820

        Charity and poverty in England, c.1680–1820

        Wild and visionary schemes

        by Sarah Lloyd

        This book explores responses to poverty in eighteenth-century England, with an eye to some of the odder manifestations of charity and poor relief. Whether discussing proposals for vast inland colonies or cosy firesides, men and women demonstrated that imagination, excitement and experiment were as important as systematic argument in making early-modern social policy. Ceremonies and material objects encapsulated ideas and attracted supporters; energy poured into realising imagined prospects in buildings, streetscapes and landscapes across England and beyond. Charity and Poverty in England aims to shed fresh light on ideas and lived experience, on cultural worlds in which social relations were unevenly worked out. It analyses the settings in which gentlemen, magistrates, officials, pamphleteers, ladies and neighbours reacted to the poverty of others, and poor people asserted their own beliefs and experiences. The book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of eighteenth-century cultural history and the history of social policy. ;

        Ideas of poverty in the Age of Enlightenment

        Ideas of poverty in the Age of Enlightenment

        by Niall O’Flaherty, Robin Mills

        This collection of essays examines the ways in which poverty was conceptualised in the social, political, and religious discourses of eighteenth-century Europe. It brings together experts with a wide range of expertise to offer pathbreaking discussions of how eighteenth-century thinkers thought about the poor. Because the theme of poverty played important roles in many critical issues in European history, it was central to some of the key debates in Enlightenment political thought throughout the period, including the controversies about sovereignty and representation, public and private charity, as well as questions relating to crime and punishment. The book examines some of the most important contributions to these debates, while also ranging beyond the canonical Enlightenment thinkers, to investigate how poverty was conceptualised in the wider intellectual culture, as politicians, administrators and pamphlet writers grappled with the issue.

        Payment and philanthropy in British healthcare, 1918–48

        Payment and philanthropy in British healthcare, 1918–48

        by George Campbell Gosling, Keir Waddington

        This book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY-NC-ND licence. At a time when payment is claiming a greater place than ever before within the NHS, this book provides the first in-depth investigation of the workings, scale and meaning of payment in British hospitals before the NHS. There were only three decades in British history when it was the norm for patients to pay the hospital; those between the end of the First World War and the establishment of the National Health Service in 1948. Payment played an important part in redefining rather than abandoning medical philanthropy, based on class divisions and the notion of financial contribution as a civic duty. With new insights on the scope of private medicine and the workings of the means test in the hospital, as well as the civic, consumer and charitable meanings associated with paying the hospital, Gosling offers a fresh perspective on healthcare before the NHS and welfare before the welfare state.

        The Protestant Orphan Society and its social significance in Ireland 1828–1940

        The Protestant Orphan Society and its social significance in Ireland 1828–1940

        by June Cooper

        The Protestant Orphan Society, founded in Dublin in 1828, managed a carefully-regulated boarding-out and apprenticeship scheme. This book examines its origins, its forward-thinking policies, and particularly its investment in children's health, the part women played in the charity, opposition to its work and the development of local Protestant Orphan Societies. It argues that by the 1860s the parent body in Dublin had become one of the most well-respected nineteenth-century Protestant charities and an authority in the field of boarding out. The author uses individual case histories to explore the ways in which the charity shaped the orphans' lives and assisted widows, including the sister of Sean O'Casey, the renowned playwright, and identifies the prominent figures who supported its work such as Douglas Hyde, the first President of Ireland. This book makes valuable contributions to the history of child welfare, foster care, the family and the study of Irish Protestantism. ;

        Molière et Son Premier Tartuffe

        Genèse et évolution d'une pièce à scandale

        by Robert McBride

        Molière et son premier Tartuffe sheds light on one of the most enduring mysteries in world theatre: the nature, structure and purpose of the first and no longer extant version of his most controversial play, Le Tartuffe. The study provides a succinct overview of the problem and a close analysis of events leading up to the original performance at Versailles. A careful reading of Molière's own defence of this version situates its overriding inspiration in his wish to satirise specific religious groupings, whilst hoping vainly to avoid censure from the religious establishment of his day. There are three appendices: the first evaluates the hypotheses of a complete or incomplete play; the second analyses the claims that Molière took certain people as models for Tartuffe, and the final appendix seeks to reopen the question of Molière's stance towards religion. The conclusion is that Le Tartuffe should not be seen as inherently hostile to religion, but rather as constituting a plea for tolerance, charity and transparency in its practice, none of which runs counter to the spirit and tenets of historic Christianity. This will appeal to lecturers and students of French Studies and Theatre Studies. ;

        First World War posters in Britain and Europe

        by James Aulich, John Hewitt

        This book makes a critical and historical analysis of the public information poster and its graphic derivatives in Britain and Europe during the First World War. Governments need public support in time of war. The First World War was the first international conflict to see the launch of major publicity campaigns designed to maintain public support for national needs and government policies. What we now know as spin has its origins in the phenomenon. Then, as now, the press, photography and film played an important role, but in the early 20th century there was no radio, television or internet and the most publicly visible advertising medium was the poster. Considering the museological and memorialising imperatives behind the formation of the war publicity collection at the Imperial War Museum, this fascinating book goes on to provide constitutional and iconographical analyses of the British Government recruiting, War Loan and charity campaigns; the effect of the inroads of the poster into important public and symbolic spaces; a comparative analysis of European poster design and the visual contribution of the poster through style and iconography to languages of 'imagined communities'; and the construction of the individual subject. The book will be of interest to design historians, historians and readers involved with the study of communication arts, publicity, advertising and visual culture at every level. ;

        My Voice: Danny Herman

        by Danny Herman

        Danny Herman was born in 1935 in Königsberg in East Prussia. As the Nazis were rounding up Jews, Danny's father managed to escape to England in July 1939. He travelled to the Kitchener Camp in Kent, which helped refugees secure visas for safer places. Danny and his mother arrived in England just three days before war was declared in 1939, and his father was later sent to an internment camp on the Isle of Man. Danny went on to become a successful runner, competing in many international athletics events and volunteering in many roles, including at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. Danny's detailed memories of arriving in England, initially at the seaside in Kent and then moving to Manchester, create a vivid picture of life-changing events as experienced by a young child. Danny's book is part of the My Voice book collection, a stand-alone project of The Fed, the leading Jewish social care charity in Manchester, dedicated to preserving the life stories of Holocaust survivors and refugees from Nazi persecution who settled in the UK. The oral history, which is recorded and transcribed, captures their entire lives from before, during and after the war years. The books are written in the words of the survivor so that future generations can always hear their voice. The My Voice book collection is a valuable resource for Holocaust awareness and education.

        The Beethoven song companion
        Individual composers & musicians, specific bands & groups
        October 2010

        The Beethoven song companion

        by Paul Reid

        This is the first full-length, published study of Beethoven's songs. All the composer's songs with piano are included, with full German texts and translations, together with comprehensive notes on the poetry and the music. The inclusion of unfinished songs gives a fascinating insight into Beethoven's compositional methods. An introductory essay considers reasons for the relative neglect of the songs, the significance of Beethoven's choice of texts, his crucial role in the development of German art-song and specific aspects such as choice of key. Throughout the book, poetic and musical texts are discussed in their historical context, and in the overall context of Beethoven's life and music. It is anticipated that this book, like its predecessor The Schubert Song Companion, will encourage the performance and study of an important but comparatively neglected aspect of the work of the world's most celebrated composer.

        Beethoven. Philosophie der Musik
        September 2004

        Beethoven. Philosophie der Musik

        Fragmente und Texte

        by Theodor W. Adorno, Rolf Tiedemann

        Nur wenige literarische Pläne hat Adorno ähnlich lange und intensiv verfolgt wie sein Beethovenprojekt, aber keiner blieb in einem vergleichbar frühen Stadium der Arbeit stecken. Ein »philosophisches Werk über Beethoven« projektiert er nach eigenen Angaben seit 1937, die ältesten erhaltenen Aufzeichnungen datieren vom Frühjahr oder Sommer 1938, unmittelbar nach Adornos Übersiedlung nach New York. Nach Kriegsende und der Rückkehr nach Frankfurt am Main werden wiederum nur Notizen und Aufzeichnungen festgehalten, die dann 1956 nahezu abrupt abbrechen. Im Aufsatz über die Missa solemnis, den er 1964 in den Sammelband »Moments musicaux« aufnahm, heißt es über sein »längst entworfenes Beethovenbuch«: »Bislang kam es nicht zur Niederschrift, vor allem weil die Anstrengungen des Autors immer wieder an der Missa Solemnis scheiterten«. Bis zuletzt ist es »nicht zur Niederschrift« gekommen. Die vorliegende Ausgabe versammelt aus dem Nachlaß sämtliche Vorarbeiten Adornos, die überaus zahlreichen Aufzeichnungen und Notizen sowie wenige ausgearbeitete Texte. Entstanden ist ein Tagebuch über Erfahrungen mit der Musik Beethovens, wie Adorno selbst seine Beethoven-Fragmente bezeichnet hat.

        Der Mord an Theo van Gogh

        Geschichte einer moralischen Panik

        by Geert Mak, Marlene Müller-Haas

        Am 2. November 2004 wurde der Filmemacher Theo van Gogh ermordet. Der Attentäter ist ein Marokkaner, der in den Niederlanden geboren wurde und dort aufwuchs. Sein Bekennerschreiben, das er mit einem Messer an den Körper des Opfers heftet, läßt den radikalislamistischen Hintergrund der Tat erkennen. Er wird festgenommen und angeklagt. Die Tat schockiert ganz Europa. Eine immer heftiger geführte Debatte über die Integration von Einwanderern flammt auf, das Schlagwort vom »Scheitern der multi-kulturellen Träume« beherrscht die Medien. Eine moralische Panik ist ausgebrochen. Geert Mak hat die Geschichte dieser Panik aufgeschrieben und zugleich eine Streitschrift verfaßt, die in den Niederlanden starke Diskussionen hervorgerufen hat. Er zeichnet das Bild einer verunsicherten westlichen Gesellschaft, in der Angst zum Ratgeber wird und die humanistischen Werte unterzugehen drohen. Gleichzeitig erinnert er an die echte Aufgabe, Toleranz zu lehren – mit allen dazugehörenden Konflikten.
