To Marry an English Lord

Tales of Wealth and Marriage, Sex and Snobbery in the Gilded Age (An Inspiration for Downton Abbey)

By: Gail MacColl,Carol McD. Wallace

“Marvelous and entertaining.” —Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey Discover the true stories behind the women who inspired DowntonAbbey and HBO’s The Gilded Age, the heiresses—including a Vanderbilt (railroads), a LaRoche (pharmaceuticals), and a Rogers (oil)—who staked their ground in England, swapping dollars for titles and marrying peers of the British realm. Filled with vivid personalities, grand houses, dashing earls, and a wealth of period details and quotes on the finer points of Victorian and Edwardian etiquette, To Marry an English Lord is social history at its liveliest and most accessible. Sex, snobbery, humor, social triumphs (and gaffes), are all recalled in marvelous detail, complete with parties, clothes, scandals, affairs, and 100-year-old gossip that’s still scorching.

Forgotten Voices of the British Empire

How Knowledge was Created and Curated in Colonial India and Burma

By: Carol Ann Boshier

This study investigates the contribution made by outsiders in accumulating knowledge from the days of the East India Company until the early twentieth century, when photography became an important tool for recording information. It focuses on heterogeneous voices on the periphery, who interacted with the indigenous population to produce knowledge in original or unexpected ways that extended beyond the limits prescribed by the term ‘colonial.’ Largely unrecognized today, their endeavors to satisfy their own intellectual curiosity, or improve their material circumstances, produced a perspective on colonial life that stripped away conventions; where their ordinary everyday experiences sometimes became extraordinary, as they forged new networks throughout the subcontinent and beyond its frontiers. Their journeys and experiences offer a discursive historical construct as significant as official reports, censuses, and surveys, and contribute towards our understanding of the diverse creative processes through which intellectual histories of the colonial state were constructed.

Creative Negativity

Four Victorian Exemplars of the Female Quest

By: Carol Hanbery MacKay

Focusing on the early Modern and Victorian periods, the author finds covert revolutionaries in four familiar practitioners of a strategy she calls creative negativity: poet-photographer Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879), novelist-essayist Anne Thackeray Ritchie (1837-1919), activist-spiritual leader Annie Besant (1847-1933), and actress-writer Elizabeth Robins (1862-1952).

The Saga of Hawkwind

By: Carol Clerk

The Saga of Hawkwind

By: Carol Clerk

Hawkwind emerged in 1969 from Ladbroke Grove, the heartland of London’s counterculture, to become a ‘people’s band’ supported by bikers and hippies alike as they staged free gigs, benefits and protests and welcomed the involvement of any number of creative people – writers, poets, dancers – from within their community. They insisted upon all these things even with the Top Three success of 1972’s enduring anthem Silver Machine and the pioneering Space Ritual projects. They have had more line-up changes than their only remaining founder member Dave Brock, can remember. Motorhead’s Lemmy and legendary Cream drummer Ginger Baker were just two of the musicians sacrificed along the way as the band went head to head with the police, customs, the taxman – and each other. With the memories of many of those who were there, this is the story of an extraordinary 35-year career, the music and the band, whose fans still loyally turn out for conventions and are rewarded with ‘private festivals’, set against a background of sex, drugs, madness, writs, rage and revenge.

Penelope's Song

A Seventeeth Century Tale for a Twenty-First Century World

By: Carol DeMars

It was the goude eeuw, the seventeenth century golden age of the United Provinces of the Netherlands, and nowhere was it more glorious and prosperous than in Amsterdam, Holland, the mother city of Nieuw Amsterdam situated by the deep harbor of Mannahatta. Why then would the vivacious niece of a wealthy Dutch merchant hastily marry her father's brilliant student to venture across the dangerous Atlantic Ocean to start their lives together in one of the least desirable outposts in all of the Dutch Empire East or West? Meanwhile, an aristocratic English widow fled the land of her birth, where to a manor bred and manor wed, and departed for New England seeking liberty of conscience. Expecting her only son, Sir Henry, to join her when their family affairs were in order, Civil War erupted in England. Loyal to the monarch who bestowed his knighthood, Sir Henry became a Cavalier fighting for King Charles I. Just when it seemed there was finally an end to war in England and finally at peace, although tenuous, with Eastern Woodland Algonquians up and down the North Atlantic Coast, the English Parliament led by Oliver Cromwell sparked a trade war for supremacy on the high seas that threatened to topple the vast Dutch Empire and destabilize their lives again. For them and legendary couple Richard and Penelope Stout, once more dreams were deterred by the desperate drama to come. Now you, the reader, are invited to discover what their lives, the real heart of history, have to do with you and our twenty-first century world.

The Original Rochdale Pioneers

The Original Rochdale Pioneers

By: Carol Davidson

In 1844 a diverse group of working men banded together in an attempt to improve their own lives by acting for themselves instead of relying on others. They formed the Rochdale Equitable Pioneer Society and opened a store in Toad Lane which was to be run on the ideals of honest weights and unadulterated food. In the 172 years since its establishment, many stories, myths and misconceptions have arisen. This richly researched book offers a unique study into the lives of the individuals themselves and highlights differences in many of the commonly held beliefs about the Pioneers. The latter half of the book includes a complete transcription of the original Minutes of the Society from 1844 to 1851.

Lucia Joyce

Lucia Joyce

To Dance in the Wake

By: Carol Loeb Shloss

Whatever spark or gift I possess has been transmitted to Lucia and it has kindled a fire in her brain." —James Joyce, 1934 Most accounts of James Joyce's family portray Lucia Joyce as the mad daughter of a man of genius, a difficult burden. But in this important new book, Carol Loeb Shloss reveals a different, more dramatic truth: her father loved Lucia, and they shared a deep creative bond. Lucia was born in a pauper's hospital and educated haphazardly across Europe as her penniless father pursued his art. She wanted to strike out on her own and in her twenties emerged, to Joyce's amazement, as a harbinger of expressive modern dance in Paris. He described her then as a wild, beautiful, "fantastic being" whose mind was "as clear and as unsparing as the lightning." The family's only reader of Joyce, she was a child of the imaginative realms her father created, and even after emotional turmoil wrought havoc with her and she was hospitalized in the 1930s, he saw in her a life lived in tandem with his own. Though most of the documents about Lucia have been destroyed, Shloss painstakingly reconstructs the poignant complexities of her life—and with them a vital episode in the early history of psychiatry, for in Joyce's efforts to help her he sought the help of Europe's most advanced doctors, including Jung. In Lucia's world Shloss has also uncovered important material that deepens our understanding of Finnegans Wake, the book that redefined modern literature.

Bodystat

How to Reset Your Fat Thermostat Permanently

By: Eric Witt,Carol Wirth

You've tried eating lots of protein, grape-fruit, rice cakes, or cottage cheese. You've tried not eating much of anything at all. You've tried diets recommended by doctors, models, actresses, or tabloids. But the pounds don't melt away like they're supposed to, and, even worse, they come back fast." "Bodystat can change all that. How? Not by changing the size of your dinner plate or how many times you chew your food or by sending you off to buy food you never heard of, but by changing your understanding of food and how your body uses it. In Bodystat, authors Eric Witt and Carol Wirth explain in clear, easy-to-understand language the scientific principles underlying the "set point" at which the body begins to resist fat loss, and how it can be reset. It's not time-consuming, expensive, complicated, or painful. In fact, it's as simple as low-fat eating and moderate exercise. Yes, you've heard that before, but here the authors walk you through how to understand labels, menus, and all that confusing exercise advice, so you can develop your own plan for lowering your fat "set point." Best of all, they offer lots of choices that you can tailor to your own preferences and habits." "Eric and Carol know their advice can help you, because it has helped so many of their friends and workshop participants. Carol's colleagues kept asking her how she could eat so much and look so good. They didn't know that Carol had yo-yoed for years while trying fad diets before she and Eric researched developing a healthier lifestyle that would work for them. Soon they were advising friends, then giving popular workshops, and now are sharing their ideas in Bodystat. They've included dozens of practical tips, twenty-seven of their favorite recipes, and, most important, the principles about diet and exercise that will empower you to be healthier and happier with your body - forever. You don't have to try to follow day-by-day diets full of food you hate or diagrammed exercises you can't figure out. With Bodystat you will see the big picture - and smile!"--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
