DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Street Music in the Metropolis: Correspondence and Observations on the Existing Law, and Proposed Amendments As I am well aware of the engrossing nature of the pursuits which occupy the attention of Members of both Houses of Parliament, I have thought it ad visable to publish here, in a form that may be readily perused, a pre'cis of the Street Music Griev ance, containing extracts from the Letters and Statements of a few of my correspondents: their intrinsic interest will, I trust, be a sufficient apology for their publication. I have also included extracts from newspapers and reviews, and reports of some of the Police Magistrates' decisions; all which evi dence will enable any Member of the Legislature and the public generally to form a correct Opinion of the real state of the existing law, and will demonstrate what great obstacles are opposed by street music to the progress of art, science, and literature; and what torm'ents are infiicted on the studious, the sensitive, and the afflicted. At the same time, I have embraced the opportunity of explaining what the Bill I have introduced into the House of Commons really is intended to effect, as hitherto a great deal of mis conception has existed with regard to its scope and provisions.

The Palgrave Handbook of European Migration in Literature and Culture
Author: Corina Stan
Publisher: Springer Nature
Published: 2023-11-20
Total Pages: 660
ISBN-13: 3031307844
DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Palgrave Handbook of European Migration in Literature and Culture engages with migration to, within, and from Europe, foregrounding migration through the lenses of historical migratory movement and flows associated with colonialism and postcolonialism. With essays on literature, film, drama, graphic novels, and more, the book addresses migration and media, hostile environments, migration and language, migration and literary experiment, migration as palimpsest, and figurations of the migrant. Each section is introduced by one of the handbook’s contributing editors and interviews with writers and film directors are integrated throughout the volume. The essays collected in the volume move beyond the discourse of the “refugee crisis” to trace the historical roots of the current migration situation through colonialism and decolonization.

Migrant City

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The first history of London to show how immigrants have built, shaped and made a great success of the capital city London is now a global financial and multicultural hub in which over three hundred languages are spoken. But the history of London has always been a history of immigration. Panikos Panayi explores the rich and vibrant story of London– from its founding two millennia ago by Roman invaders, to Jewish and German immigrants in the Victorian period, to the Windrush generation invited from Caribbean countries in the twentieth century. Panayi shows how migration has been fundamental to London’s economic, social, political and cultural development.“br/> Migrant City sheds light on the various ways in which newcomers have shaped London life, acting as cheap labour, contributing to the success of its financial sector, its curry houses, and its football clubs. London’s economy has long been driven by migrants, from earlier continental financiers and more recent European Union citizens. Without immigration, fueled by globalization, Panayi argues, London would not have become the world city it is today.
The Ballad-Singer in Georgian and Victorian London

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →For three centuries, ballad-singers thrived at the heart of life in London. One of history's great paradoxes, they were routinely disparaged and persecuted, living on the margins, yet playing a central part in the social, cultural, and political life of the nation. This history spans the Georgian heyday and Victorian decline of those who sang in the city streets in order to sell printed songs. Focusing on the people who plied this musical trade, Oskar Cox Jensen interrogates their craft and their repertoire, the challenges they faced and the great changes in which they were caught up. From orphans to veterans, prostitutes to preachers, ballad-singers sang of love and loss, the soil and the sea, mediating the events of the day to an audience of hundreds of thousands. Complemented by sixty-two recorded songs, this study demonstrates how ballad-singers are figures of central importance in the cultural, social, and political processes of continuity, contestation, and change across the nineteenth-century world.
