The Birmingham Group

Reading the Second City in the 1930s

By: Robin Harriott

The focus of this study is the collective of writers known variously as the Birmingham Group, the Birmingham School or the Birmingham Proletarian Writers who were active in the City of Birmingham in the decade prior to the Second World War. Their narratives chronicle the lived-experience of their fellow citizens in the urban manufacturing centre which had by this time become Britain’s second city. Presumed ‘guilty by association’ with a working-class literature considered overtly propagandistic, formally conservative, or merely the naive emulation of bourgeois realism, their narratives have in consequence suffered undue critical neglect. This book repudiates such assertions by arguing that their works not only contrast markedly with other examples of working-class writing produced in the 1930s but also prove themselves responsive to recent critical assessments seeking a more holistic and intersectional approach to issues of working-class identity.

Bollocks to Alton Towers

Uncommonly British Days Out

By: Alex Morris,Jason Hazeley,Joel Morris,Robin Halstead

The British Lawnmower Museum, Keith Harding's World of Mechanical Music and Mad Jack's Sugar Loaf. In a world of theme parks, interactive exhibits, over-priced merchandise and queues, don't worry, these are names to stir the soul. Reassuring evidence that there's still somewhere to turn in search of the small, fascinating, unique and, dammit, British. In a stumbling journey across the country in search of the best we have to offer our intrepid heroes discovered dinosaurs in South London, a cold war castle in Essex, grown men pretending to be warships in Scarborough, unexplained tunnels under Liverpool and a terraced house in Bedford being kept warm for Jesus's return. And along the way they met the people behind them all: enthusiasts, eccentrics and, you know, those who just sort of fell into looking after a vast collection of gnomes ... Makes you proud!

In Darkest James

Reviewing Impressionism, 1900-1905

By: Robin P. Hoople

In July of 1906 Archibald Henderson could pronounce with perfect confidence that Henry James was "a master impressionist." But as short a time as six years earlier, James's critics lacked this term in their vocabulary, and struggled with the sophisticated art of James's developing impressionistic literary technique. In Darkest James discusses the reviewer's frustrated, often irritated, and even anguished attempts to render a satisfactory account of the sequence of artifacts in which James moved toward the perfection of his craft."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The deVOL Kitchen

Designing and Styling the Most Important Room in Your Home

By: Paul O'Leary,Robin McLellan,Helen Parker

A stunningly photographed guide to designing and styling your kitchen, the most used and important room in the home, that showcases the philosophy and fundamentals of deVOL’s iconic values “When it comes to thoughtful craftsmanship and bespoke kitchen design, deVOL is the benchmark.” – Joanna Gaines deVOL is much more than a kitchen company. Paul O’Leary, deVOL’s founder, began his journey in a small workshop in Leicestershire, England, more than thirty years ago. Since that day, deVOL has grown into something special, inspiring many people with its unique approach to designing and styling the most important room in the home. Written by deVOL’s directors, Paul O’Leary, Robin McLellan and Helen Parker, The deVOL Kitchen is about far more than kitchens. It has stories about their personal journeys, and it is full of passion, determination, and sometimes a little luck. Alongside the inspiring photographs of kitchens they’ve designed and furnished, The deVOL Kitchen reveals childhood memories and fascinating experiences that have undoubtedly shaped their unique approach to designing, making, and running deVOL. From total rebuilds to a more modest sink and cupboard upgrade, The deVOL Kitchen will inspire you to design and style the space available to create a unique and stylish kitchen, whatever your budget. It encourages you to throw out the conventional rule book, draw your own plans, and incorporate fitted and existing free-standing furniture and found objects to create a beautiful room that is perfect for your needs. The book’s charming photography takes you on a journey, not only of gorgeous kitchens but also into the workshops, studios, and showrooms of deVOL. See craftspeople at work, close-up images of forging metal and throwing clay and how these skills are used to make all of deVOL’s accessories, many of which are as desired as their kitchens.

Love and Loss

American Portrait and Mourning Miniatures

By: Robin Jaffee Frank,New Haven Yale University

Most often, portrait miniatures were painted in watercolor on thin disks of ivory. They were sometimes worn as jewelry, sometimes framed to be viewed privately. Many were painted by specialists, although renowned easel artists - including Benjamin West, John Singleton Copley, and Charles Willson Peale - also created them to commemorate births, engagements, marriages, deaths, and other joinings or separations. The book traces the development of this exquisite art form, revealing the close ties between the history of the miniature and the history of American private life."--BOOK JACKET.
