John H: Viking:The Norse Warrior's
(Unofficial) Manual

Viking:The Norse Warrior's (Unofficial) Manual

The Norse Warrior's (Unofficial) Manual

Joss Marsh's stirring book traces the international phenomenon that is cinema's Dickens obsession, from its origins in Dickens's celebrity, through Dickens impact on the pioneers, first masters, and later innovators of the cinema and his enmeshment in the complex of technologies and cultural formations that made up the world of late-Victorian fantasy - from the photograph to the magic lantern, from celebrity to time travel.

As Joss Marsh observes in her stirring book on Dickens and cinema, Dickens was the first mass-mediated photographic celebrity of the modern era, more intimately "familiar" than any person in Britain besides the royal family. Suggesting Dickens's celebrity, as much as his work, contributed to the international phenomenon that is cinema's Dickens obsession, Marsh begins with  J. J. E. Mayall's famous celebrity portraits to trace Dickens's impact on the pioneers, first masters, and later innovators of the cinema. At the same time, Marsh uncovers a larger issue: to understand Dickens's place in cinema is to understand his enmeshment in the whole complex of technologies and cultural formations that made up the world of late-Victorian fantasy-from the photograph to the magic lantern, from celebrity to time travel.  Each of the six chapters unfolds a century-long cultural story that maps the Dickensian points of inspiration in the history of cinema. Marsh's cinematic geography of Dickensland transports the reader from Dickens's experiences with the early-Victorian portraitist's camera to Sunset Boulevard, Billy Wilder's remake of Great Expectations as a satire on the vampiric celebrity "celluloid self"; from actor-manager Martin-Harvey's 1899 manufacture of the "cast-iron" Victorian stage play to Dirk Bogarde's 1958 inheritance of the sacrificial gay role of Sydney Carton; from Charley Dickens Jnr.'s attempt to cash in on his father's knowledge of London to the history of production design as a medium of historical tourism and virtual experience; from Dickens's "impersonation" of Fagin, anti-Semitic and inherently theatrical, to the transformations of "the Jew" by Chaplin and David Lean and his musical apotheosis as magician and Pied Piper; from Dickens's 1868 return, in his last public reading, to the murder of Nancy to the contemporary slasher movie; and finally from the time travel enabled by the magic lantern's "dissolving views" through the role of Dickens's lantern-inspired Christmas tales of the 1840s in the lantern's development of pre-cinematic visual storytelling.  Informed by extensive archival research, deftly written, and beautifully illustrated, Joss Marsh's book shows film's fascination with Dickens was the trace of a persisting desire”fueled by decades of Dickensian impersonation and enabled by the medium's capacity to make still images live”to bring back the most extraordinary literary artist and personality of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries”to make Dickens live again.

Palgrave Studies in Ancient Economies

This edited volume examines the legal and economic world of the Romans through concepts, structures, and objects that reveal practices of standardization and localism. It explores the myriad ways in which the Roman Empire became an integrated political, social and economic system. &nbsp;Split across two volumes, the collection addresses the dynamic interaction between Rome and its provinces in developing institutions crucial to societal and economic development.&nbsp; It challenges notions of uniformity, demonstrating how tensions between imperial standardization and local cultures could both drive innovative legal and economic practices and hinder empire-wide integration. The chapters explore broad questions from various disciplinary perspectives, including ancient economic history, law, papyrology, epigraphy and archaeology. Contributions cover diverse topics such as weights, measures, and coinage, legal practices, taxation, and cultural symbols. Each chapter investigates how, even as local communities adopted practices associated with Rome as a ruling power, local customs could, in turn, influence practices across the Empire.&nbsp;By illuminating these reciprocal relationships, this book recontextualizes Roman standardization—not merely as a tool of imperial domination but as evidence of diverse socioeconomic practices and cross-cultural exchanges. It will be a valuable resource for scholars of ancient economic history, classical archaeology, and ancient law, as well as anyone interested in the economy and culture of Ancient Rome.Emilia Mataix Ferrándiz is a Ramón y Cajal tenure track lecturer at the International university of Catalonia (Barcelona). Previously, she has hold postdoctoral positions at the Universities of the Basque Country (Spain), Ghent, Helsinki and the Käte Hamburger kolleg Münster. She has a PhD in Roman law and a second PhD in roman archaeology. She has published extensively on Roman law and its maritime and commercial focus. Koenraad Verboven is professor&nbsp;of Ancient History at the University of Ghent.&nbsp; He specializes in ancient social and economic history, and has a particular interest in monetary history and numismatics, friendship and patronage based networks, professional associations(collegia), and the application of economic theories in historical research.

In 1946 and 1948, James Conway Davies published volumes one and two of his Episcopal Acts and Cognate Documents Relating to Welsh Dioceses 1066-1272. A notice in the front of volume two indicates that volume three - promised for publication in 1950/1 but never released - would have contained inter alia the acts of the dioceses of Bangor and St Asaph and an index of the acts contained in all three volumes. The editor left behind a massive card index and the galley proofs of the acts of St Asaph and Bangor, and it is these that form the basis of the present volume. It therefore completes what is both a monumental study on and source of information for the Church in medieval Wales.

In 1946 and 1948, James Conway Davies published volumes one and two of his Episcopal Acts and Cognate Documents Relating to Welsh Dioceses 1066-1272. These volumes included over 400 pages of introduction (on such topics as sources, the Norman conquest and its impact on the church in Wales, the formation of the bishoprics, diocesan boundaries, the status of St Davids, the structure of the church, etc.) and in calendar form the acts of the dioceses of St Davids and Llandaff. A notice in the front of volume two indicates that volume three would have contained inter alia the acts of the dioceses of Bangor and St Asaph and an index of the acts contained in all three volumes. Volume three was promised for publication in 1950/1, but for some reason never saw the light of day. The editor left behind a massive card index and the galley proofs of the acts of St Asaph and Bangor and it is these that form the basis of the present volume. It therefore completes what is both a monumental study on and source of information for the Church in medieval Wales.

Routledge Studies in First World War History

This book offers the most detailed operational analysis of British tank use during the First World War ever undertaken. Its conclusions - based on a wealth of primary sources - provides a fascinating insight into how the British Army conducted operations on the Western Front, and how such an apparently conservative institution respond to technological innovation.

"We are a much-lectured people," wrote Robert Spence Watson in 1897. Beginning at mid-century, cities and towns across England used the popular lecture for purposes ranging from serious education to effervescent entertainment and from regional pride to imperial belonging. Over time, the popular lecture became the quintessential embodiment of Victorian knowledge-based culture, which itself ranged from the production of new knowledge in the most elite of learned societies to the consumption of established knowledge in middle-class clubs and the hundreds of humble mechanics' institutions initially founded to provide scientific instruction to workers. What did the "average" Victorian talk and think about? How did the knowledge-based culture of lecture and debate enable men and women to demonstrate both civic engagement and cultural competence? How does this knowledge-based culture and its changing expression give us ways to look at Victorian citizenship long before the extension of the franchise? With engaging and accessible prose Anne Rodrick draws from a variety of primary sources to provide fascinating answers to these pertinent questions. Based on the analysis of several thousand lectures and debates delivered over more than 50 years, this book digs deeply into what those individuals below the most elite levels thought, heard, debated, and claimed as a badge of cultural competence. By the turn of the 20th century, the popular lecture was competing for attention with new institutions of leisure and of higher education, and the discourse surrounding its place in contemporary England helps illuminate important debates over access to and deployment of knowledge and culture.
