        Culture in Manchester

        Institutions and urban change since 1850

        by Janet Wolff

        This book brings together studies of cultural institutions in Manchester from 1850 to the present day, giving an unprecedented account of the city's cultural evolution. These bring to light the remarkable range of Manchester's contribution to modern cultural life, including the role of art education, popular theatre, religion, pleasure gardens, clubs and societies. The chapters show the resilience and creativity of Manchester's cultural institutions since 1850, challenging any simple narrative of urban decline following the erosion of Lancashire's industrial base, at the same time illustrating the range of activities across the social classes. This book will appeal to everyone interested in the cultural life of the city of Manchester, including cultural historians, sociologists and urban geographers, as well as general readers with interests in the city. It is written by leading international authorities, including Viv Gardner, Stephen Milner, Mike Savage, Bill Williams and Janet Wolff. ;

        Englische Landschaften

        Unterwegs in Suffolk und Norfolk

        by Peter Sager

        Die Grafschaften Norfolk und Suffolk gelten als Inbegriff der englischen Countryside: sanfte Hügel, rauhe Küsten, Salzmarsch und Lavendel; Knollengemüse und Blumenzwiebeln als einzige Bodenschätze. Peter Sager erzählt von kuriosen Entdeckungen und Begegnungen, von skurrilen Landpfarrern und mordlüsternen Damen wie P. D. James und Dorothy L. Sayers, von einem elitären Jockey-Club, in dem kein einziger Jockey Mitglied ist, und von vielem anderen mehr. »Peter Sagers Reisefeuilletons sind das reine Lesevergnügen.« (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung).

        Spannende Kriminalgeschichten für unterwegs

        Schlaf in tödlicher Ruh

        Weihnachtliche Kriminalgeschichten

        by Carolin Bunk, Hans Sarkowicz

        Weihnachten ist die Zeit des Friedens, der Harmonie und des familiären Glücks. Kann sein, muß aber nicht. Denn das Verbrechen macht nie Pause, auch nicht am Heiligen Abend. Welche beängstigenden Abgründe sich gerade beim Fest der Liebe auftun können, ahnen wir nur. Krimiautoren dagegen machen daraus spannende Geschichten. Dann verwandelt sich die o so fröhliche Weihnachtszeit in einen Albtraum. Also: Vorsicht ist geboten, gerade wenn die Glocken am süßesten klingen und die Engelchöre die „Stille Nacht“ besingen. Mit Texten von Dorothy L. Sayers, Ruth Rendell, Dan Brown, Ingrid Noll, Patricia Highsmith, u. a.

        Auto/biography and identity

        by Kate Dorney, Maggie B. Gale, Viv Gardner, Maggie B. Gale

        This groundbreaking book shows how female performers - one of the first groups of professional women - used and still use autobiography and performance as both a means of expression and control of their private and public selves, the 'face and the mask'. It looks at how a range of women in the theatre - actors, managers, writers and live artists - have done this on the page and on the stage from the late eighteenth-century to the present day, testing the boundaries between gender, theatre and autobiographical form. This paperback edition facilitates connections - between texts and performances, past and present practitioners, professional and private selves, individuals and communities, all of which have in some way renegotiated identity through autobiography and the creative act. 'Auto/biography and identity' is a landmark in theatre history and performance analysis, in gender and cultural theory, and autobiographical studies. ;
