      Between two worlds of father politics

      USA or Sweden?

      by Michael Rush

      The essential message of the 'two regimes' model is that the social politics of fatherhood have taken on a global significance and that the USA and Sweden represent two ends of an international continuum of ways of thinking about fatherhood. The key selling points of the two regimes model are its topicality, originality, its global appeal, and its particularised appeal to readers in the USA, the Nordic countries, Great Britain, Ireland, the European Union, Japan and China. The book offers students a comparative analytical framework and new insights into why some welfare states have 'father-friendly' social policies and others do not. The book makes an original contribution to the growing fields of welfare regime and gender studies by linking the epochal decline of patriarchal fatherhood to welfare state expansion over the course of the twentieth century and it raises new questions about the legitimacy of religiously inspired neo-patriarchy.

      Herminie and Fanny Pereire

      Elite Jewish women in nineteenth-century France

      by Helen M. Davies

      Herminie and Fanny Pereire were sisters-in-law, married to the eminent Jewish bankers and Saint-Simonian socialists Emile and Isaac. They were also mother and daughter. This book, a companion to the author's acclaimed Emile and Isaac Pereire (2015), sheds new light on elite Jewish families in nineteenth-century France. Drawing on the family archives, it traces the Pereires across a century of major social and political change, from the Napoleonic period to the cusp of the First World War, revealing the active role they played as bourgeois women both within and outside the family. It offers insights into Jewish assimilation, embourgeoisement and gender relations, through the lens of one of the most fascinating families of the century.

      Public issue television

      World in Action' 1963–98

      by Peter Goddard, John Corner, Kay Richardson

      Public issue television is a major contribution to understanding the relationship between television, politics and society. Based on full access to the archives, it offers a fascinating historical account of how one television series, Granada's World in Action, celebrated for its tough journalism, visual directness and public impact, functioned and developed over its run across 35 years between 1963 and 1998. In a succession of chapters looking at different periods in the series' development and at key dimensions of its distinctive identity, it gets deep inside the making of factual television and examines how a particular culture of production works within broader conditions of possibility and constraint. In particular, it charts the interwoven processes of change - technological, professional, aesthetic, institutional, economic, social and political. As well as discussing achievement and success, it examines the tensions, the debates and open conflicts that formed part of the context within which the series was made and transmitted across four decades. ;

      The new woman

      by Sally Ledger

      Sexually transgressive, politically astute and determined to claim educational and employment rights equal to those enjoyed by men, the new woman took centre stage in the cultural landscape of late-Victorian Britain. By comparing the fictional representations with the lived experience of the new woman, Ledger's book makes a major contribution to an understanding of the 'woman question' at the fin de siecle. She alights on such disparate figures as Eleanor Marx, Gertrude Dix, Dracula, Oscar Wilde, Olive Schreiner and Radclyffe Hall. Focusing mainly on the last two decades of the nineteenth century, the book's later chapters project forward into the twentieth century, considering the relationship between new woman fiction and early modernism as well as the socio-sexual inheritance of the 'second generation' new woman writers. ;

      Father Browns Geheimnis

      Erzählungen

      by Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Hanswilhelm Haefs

      Gilbert Keith Chesterton wurde am 29. Mai 1874 in London geboren. Er begann eine Ausbildung als Illustrator an der Slade School of Art und besuchte Literaturvorlesungen am Londoner King’s College. Als Kolumnist und Literaturkritiker schrieb er für verschiedene liberale Zeitungen. Von 1900 an erschienen von ihm über hundert Bücher, Gedichte, Kurzgeschichten und Theaterstücke, die durch ihre stilistische Brillanz schnell eine große Bekanntheit erlangten. In besonderem Maße setzte sich Chesterton, der 1922 zum Katholizismus konvertierte, in seinen Büchern und Aufsätzen mit seiner Beziehung zum Christentum auseinander, meistens allerdings – wie in der bekannten Gestalt des Priester-Detektivs Pater Brown – auf humoristische Weise. Er starb am 14. Juni 1936 in Beaconsfield.
