Liverpool grew rapidly in the Georgian period as it was a major port for Atlantic trade, rivalling any other city in the UK outside London in terms of prosperity and population. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the city embarked on an ambitious building programme to demonstrate its new-found wealth and power. Although some of these buildings have been lost today, much of Georgian Liverpool remains. A vital part of the city’s heritage is the legacy of the Georgian town planners and the magnificent buildings they have left behind.In this book author Hugh Hollinghurst explores the Georgian buildings of Liverpool. Alongside the well-known landmarks and public buildings, there are docks, commercial and industrial buildings, churches and a wealth of squares, streets, terraces and individual houses that survive from that era. The author also covers Georgian buildings in Liverpool that are no longer standing, including other dock and mercantile buildings, lost public structures, leisure and entertainment venues and churches. Illustrated throughout, all those interested in the history of Liverpool will find this a fascinating exploration of the Georgian heritage of this city.

Alan Hollinghurst si se svými prózami dává na čas. Románovou novinku známého anglického spisovatele, básníka a překladatele dělí od té předchozí šest let. Je tu nicméně „starý dobrý“ Hollinghurst, jak ho známe z dřívějška; autor se drží svého tématu i formy. Klasická struktura pěti obsáhlých částí zachycuje vždy jednu konkrétní situaci nebo události, které se odehrávají v mnohaletém časovém odstupu a sledují osudy postav během několika desetiletí. První kapitola a východisko děje se odehrává na Oxfordu v době letecké bitvy o Británii. Děj se točí kolem příchodu nového sedmnáctiletého studenta Davida Sparsholta, oslnivého krasavce. Jeho spolužák Evert Dax, nesmělý syn slavného spisovatele, se do něj beznadějně zamiluje. Po čase slaví úspěch, i když, jak se nakonec ukáže, z Davidovy strany šlo o protislužbu za finanční půjčku, která ho má vytáhnout z jeho problémů. Román dále sleduje Davidovy osudy i cesty jeho syna Jonathana, které se v prostředí britské kulturní a mediální smetánky neustále protínají s životní dráhou Everta Daxe. Alan Hollinghurst se jako mistrný vypravěč opět vyrovnává se zkušenostmi gayů v proměnách doby a společenských poměrů. Elegantně rafinovaný, přesný a výstižný styl je tentokrát okořeněn britským humorem.

Sex and Scandal in Georgian England examines the fun, fascinating, and folly-filled lives of leading Georgians to provide exciting and compelling insights into the role played by extra-marital relationships in the Georgian world. Concerned with the timely issues of gender, power, and class privilege, Sex and Scandal in Georgian England provides a fascinating re-telling of the ways in which marriage, sex, and affairs were conducted in the past. By drawing upon new developments in social and cultural history, this work challenges the notion of Georgian libertinism, demonstrating instead a complex, well-accepted, and strictly enforced social code of behaviour. This is important for too long have historians contrasted the ‘wild’ Georgians with the ‘staid’ Victorians. Neither of these assumptions are true nor borne out in a careful reading of history. Sex and Scandal in Georgian England challenges some of our modern assumptions about affairs and what is considered normative behaviour while connecting today’s ‘scandal-ridden’ society with the past. In a world where politicians, athletes, and celebrities are under a microscope and are often criticised for their private behaviour, including extra-marital affairs, how were similar issues dealt with in the past? Why is it, just like during the Georgian period, that some people are celebrated for their infidelities while others are shamed and forced into social exile for what appears, on the surface, to be similar behaviour? Ultimately, Sex and Scandal in Georgian England connects the past with current issues allowing us to not only learn about history but to enjoy the process.

The Georgian era was unique, so unlike what preceded it and never since repeated. What would it have been like to live there? With no welfare and little charity, people lived on their wits alone, and the sweat of their brow. There was a huckster on every street corner, a pickpocket in every crowd, and cheap gin was readily available to drown every conceivable sorrow. What was it like to live in a smuggling community where the criminals made the rules and enforced them arbitrarily, brutally, and without hindrance? How would you survive the highwayman intent on taking your riches, your dignity, and your life too, if required?But Georgian Britain also underwent a great flourishing in the arts, commerce, industry and innovation. It was a time of great opportunity should you have the means to seize it. For all its harsh realities, the Georgian era is also famous for its gentility and refinement, for the pottery of Josiah Wedgwood, the furniture of Thomas Chippendale, the sculpted landscapes of Capability Brown, the elegance of the Georgian Ball, the romantic and evocative novels of Jane Austen, but also the tawdry excesses of the Prince Regent and the cutting edge of the satirist’s pen. Let this book be your guide to the past, and learn from their own lips the conversation, what drove the narrative, what was whispered in the taverns and shouted in the streets. It was a time of excess, but of great achievement too, a transformative time that changed Britain forever. So be prepared, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

In the 18th century, Liverpool''s position as a favoured port for Britain''s growing Atlantic trade to the West Indies and America allowed it to expand rapidly. It soon became one of the largest and richest cities in the country and the architecture legacy of the wealth in the city can still be seen in Liverpool today. In the last 100 years, Liverpool''s fortunes have changed, but although it was heavily bombed during World War 2 and experienced decline postwar through the loss of many of its industries, the city has been regenerated in recent decades, becoming European City of Culture and having areas granted World Heritage Sites. It is now a leading economic and cultural centre, with new developments alongside its architectural legacy transforming the city today.In this book photographer Mark McNeill celebrates the changing face of Liverpool in a collection of stunning images which portray not just the new buildings that characterise modern Liverpool, but also how the how the older Liverpool also survives alongside them, often turned into new uses. For all those who are proud to live and work in Liverpool, as well as those visiting, this book is a must. Look through these photographs and you will quickly see the enduring fascination of this special city.

Did I have a grievance? Most of us, without looking far, could find something that had harmed us, and oppressed us, and unfairly held us back. I tried not to dwell on it, thought it healthier not to, though I'd lived my short life so far in a chaos of privilege and prejudice.Dave Win is thirteen years old when he first goes to stay with the Hadlows, the sponsors of his scholarship at a local boarding school where their son Giles is his contemporary. For Dave this weekend, with its games and challenges and surprising encounters, will open up heady new possibilities, even as it exposes him to Giles's envy and violence. As Our Evenings unfolds over half a century, the two boys' careers will diverge dramatically, Dave a gifted actor struggling with convention and discrimination, Giles an increasingly powerful and dangerous politician. Our Evenings is Dave Win's own account of his life as a schoolboy and student, his first love affairs, in London, and on the road with an experimental theatre company, and of a late-life affair, which transforms his sixties with a new sense of happiness and a perilous security; but it is also, very movingly, the story of his hard-working widowed mother, whose own life takes an unexpected new turn after her son leaves home. Both dark and luminous, poignant and wickedly funny, Alan Hollinghurst's new novel gives us a portrait of modern England through the lens of one man's acutely observed and often unnerving experience. It is a story of race and class, theatre and sexuality, love and the cruel shock of violence, from the finest writer of our age.

An innovative approach in the field of material culture and consumption studies, Life in the Georgian Parsonage looks at the houses, consumption and lifestyle of Church of England clergy in the long 18th century, linking moral debates and popular representations of the clergy to the material culture of their houses and their motivations as consumers. By focusing on ethical and moral dimensions of consumer practices, it challenges established readings of consumption in the long 18th century as an essentially secular process in which goods were markers of wealth, status and taste, by bringing the clergyman into the frame – their lives, their habits and their homes. Cross-disciplinary in its approach, combining material culture and religious and social history and sitting at the intersection of these fields, Life in the Georgian Parsonage fills a significant gap, enhancing in important ways our knowledge of this group as a crucial but understudied set of 18th-century consumers, while also contributing to understanding the parish clergy of England in the context of 18th-century society and culture. Bringing together a wide range of source material – from probate inventories to personal account books, satirical prints to sermons, diaries to designs for parsonages – the author reconstructs the material lives and household arrangements of the Georgian clergy in glorious detail. Examining the parish clergy over this period of profound social and religious change through the lens of consumption, and consumption through the lives of these clergymen, has a transformative impact both on these areas of enquiry and on our understanding of English society in the 18th century.

This book tells the story of the town (later city) and port of Liverpool. It begins in 1207, when King John decided to transform the tiny, otherwise unknown fishing hamlet of ‘Lerpul’ into a major base for his planned invasion of Ireland. Soon renamed ‘Liverpool’, the new town continued as a garrison and military harbour for centuries. Then, during the Civil War in the seventeenth century, it was razed to the ground. After being rebuilt it went on to play an important role in the Jacobite revolts of 1715 and 1745. Also, by the eighteenth century, Liverpool was becoming one of the wealthiest mercantile cities in the country, due in large part to its dominant position in international maritime trade and the size of its docks, harbours, and warehouses.The personal wealth of its merchants and shipowners, and the success and domination of the transatlantic slave trade, resulted in the building of many magnificent private homes and civic buildings, leaving an architectural legacy that remains the envy of the world, though this was also built on massive human suffering and exploitation. Nevertheless, the global maritime trade saw Liverpool continue to grow and prosper, so much so that by the start of the twentieth century it had become the second city and port of the British Empire outside of London. International shipping and trade also brought immigrants from all over the world to settle in Liverpool and create the vibrant, industrial, commercial, and cultural hub that the city has now become.Without unnecessary detail, but including all the essential facts, this accessible, informative, and entertaining book will transport the reader across the centuries to uncover the fascinating history of the people and places that make up the city of Liverpool.

Travel back to the Georgian years, a time that changed expectations of what life could be. Peek into the gilded drawing rooms of the aristocracy, walk down the quiet avenues of the new middle class, and crouch in the damp doorways of the poor. But watch your wallet - tourists make perfect prey for the thriving community of hawkers, prostitutes and scavengers. Visit the madhouses of Hackney, the workshops of Soho and the mean streets of Cheapside. Have a coffee in the city, check the stock exchange, and pop into St Paul''s to see progress on the new dome.This book is about the Georgians who called London their home, from dukes and artists to rent boys and hot air balloonists meeting dog-nappers and life-models along the way.

Kniha Klopp: Pocta od FC Liverpool, oficiální kniha od anglického fotbalového klubu FC Liverpool (LFC), která oslavuje významné období působení slavného německého fotbalového trenéra Jürgena Kloppa v tomto klubu Premier League. Tato lesklá 288stránková kniha plná exkluzivních rozhovorů a neuvěřitelných postřehů od současných i bývalých hráčů, konkurenčních trenérů a těch, kteří s Kloppem úzce spolupracovali, přiblíží čtenářům jeho nezapomenutelnou cestu v roli trenéra Reds. V doprovodu 200 unikátních a často dosud nezveřejněných fotografií z archivu LFC a s předmluvou od samotného Kloppa se čtenáři dostanou do zákulisí k nejzásadnějším a nejpamátnějším okamžikům Kloppovy éry. A co víc, budou si připadat, jako by zrovna seděli se svými idoly v kabině pod vedením geniálního stratéga. Ve strhující knize Mike Gordon, klíčová postava v řízení klubu LFC a prezident společnosti Fenway Sports Group, která vlastní FC Liverpool, vysvětlí, proč Klopp do Liverpoolu perfektně zapadl, fotbalista James Milner popíše, jak se pustil do proměny klubu, spoluhráči Mohamed Salah a Virgil van Dijk prozradí, jak je přesvědčil, aby podepsali smlouvu, a Jordan Henderson prozradí, co Klopp řekl ve své týmové řeči, aby nastartoval legendární zvrat v semifinále Ligy mistrů proti Barceloně v roce 2019. Skotská fotbalová legenda Sir Kenny Dalglish také vzpomíná na vítěznou sezónu Premier League 2019-20 a na to, jak Klopp ukončil 30leté čekání klubu na titul, a říká: „Když ho jmenovali, prohlásil jsem: ‚Zapněte si pásy a připravte se na start,‘ a nemýlil jsem se. Opravdu nás vzal na pořádnou jízdu.“ Salah k tomu dodává: „Během svého působení tu šéf všechno zlepšil, všichni ho milovali, a ukázal, jak skvělý je manažer. Hrát pod jeho vedením byla neuvěřitelná zkušenost.“ Fotbalový trenér hlavního konkurenta Manchesteru City Pep Guardiola mezitím vzdal hold slovy: „Jürgenův tým nám pomohl dosáhnout našich nejlepších výkonů. Jsou to bezesporu naši největší rivalové a zdaleka největší soupeři.“ Kniha Klopp je oslavou nezapomenutelného období v historii LFC a popisuje nesmazatelnou stopu, kterou Jürgen v klubu zanechal, s nespočtem vzácných vzpomínek, které si fanoušci budou navždy uchovávat. Dostává se také k samotnému jádru kvalit, které Kloppovi umožnily stát se jedním z nejuznávanějších a nejúspěšnějších trenérů na světě. Mike Cox, senior viceprezident pro merchandising v FC Liverpool, řekl: „Kniha Klopp zásadním způsobem popisuje neuvěřitelnou dobu, kterou strávil jako trenér LFC, a to slovy lidí, kteří s ním na každodenní bázi velmi úzce spolupracovali. Kniha popisuje ty nejlepší i nejhorší okamžiky od jeho prvního až po poslední den ve funkci a my jsme hrdí, že jsme ji pro naše fanoušky a fotbalové příznivce dokázali vytvořit. Prožijte si celou tuhle neuvěřitelnou jízdu ještě jednou.“

Few cities in the world are as famous as Liverpool, the home of the modern world’s most celebrated rock group and of a legendary football team.The city is equally notorious for its poverty, its ethnic and racial divides and, above all, its decline. For Liverpool was once a major port, growing rich on slavery, on trade with the Americas and the British Empire’s outposts in Africa and Asia. In the 1980s, it was described as ‘obsolete’. Yet the city fights on.This is the epic history of Liverpool since the Second World War. It is a story of vast docklands shrinking and eventually vanishing when corporations discovered they could shift goods in containers and dispense with human workers, of industries like car manufacturing mushrooming and disappearing, of huge new suburbs being built and neglected. It is a moving and horrifying narrative of casual racism – Chinese sailors deported en masse in the aftermath of the war, systematic discrimination against the city’s Black population – and of resistance, culminating in the Toxteth riots in 1981. It is the story of a city fighting against a descent into obsolescence.Liverpool also becomes a prism through which recent British history is brought into a new focus. It is the fascinating history of a single, iconic city. But it is also a warning of what the future may hold for many more communities.

Since its first publication, Hugh Thomas''s The Spanish Civil War has become established as the definitive one-volume history of a conflict that continues to provoke intense controversy today. What was it that roused left-wing sympathizers from all over the world to fight against Franco between 1936 and 1939? Why did the British and US governments refuse to intervene? And why did the Republican cause collapse so violently? Now revised and updated, Hugh Thomas''s classic account presents the most objective and unbiased analysis of a passionate struggle where fascism and democracy, communism and Catholicism were at stake - and which was as much an international war as a Spanish one. ''Remarkable ... a definitive account'' Sunday Times ''A prodigy of a book ... about the most heroic and pitiful story of the twentieth century'' Michael Foot ''His masterwork'' Independent ''A full, vivid and deeply serious treatment of a great subject'' The New York Times Book Review Hugh Thomas is the author of, among other books, The Spanish Civil War (1962), which won the Somerset Maugham Award, Cuba: The Pursuit of Freedom (1971), An Unfinished History of the World (1979), and the first volume of his Spanish Empire trilogy, Rivers of Gold (2003).
