Florence's English Cemetery, 1827-1877
Author: Julia Bolton Holloway
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1036413780
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 934
Book Description
This book is a reflection of the author’s research and restoration of the formerly abandoned Victorian Swiss-owned so-called English Cemetery in Florence. It presents a control group of burials, documented in marble and on paper, of foreign non-Catholics (English, Swiss, American, Russian, Scandinavian, etc.), between 1827-1877 in one Florentine piazza, giving their stories. The book documents the burials of writers, artists, abolitionists, slaves, serfs, and servants who lie alongside industrialists, noblemen and royalty, death being a democracy. Some notable burials covered in the book include Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Frances Trollope, Walter Savage Landor, Arthur Hugh Clough, Thomas Southwood Smith, Hiram Powers, Theodore Parker, Jean Pierre Vieusseux, 14 participants against Napoleon at Trafalgar, Waterloo and the Peninsula, and Nadezhda de Santis, a slave brought to Florence at 15 from Nubia. The book also details the cemetery's sculptors (Lorenzo Bartolini, Odoardo Fantacchiotti, William Holman Hunt, Frederic, Lord Leighton, Francesco Jerace, Emilio Zocchi, Launt Thompson, Hiram and Preston Powers, and William Wetmore Story) and visitors (King Frederick William IV of Prussia and the ex-American slave, Frederick Douglass). The book will be of interest to historians in general, and in particular historians of medicine, genealogists, sociologists, and those studying the history of global immigration, imperialism and slavery.

Shifting Grounds
Author: Lucy Mackintosh
Publisher: Bridget Williams Books
ISBN: 1988587301
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
In a city that has forgotten and erased much of its history, there are still places where traces of the past can be found. Deep histories, both natural and human, have been woven together over hundreds of years in places across Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, forming potent sites of national significance. This stunning book unearths these histories in three iconic landscapes: Pukekawa/Auckland Domain, Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill and the Ōtuataua Stonefields at Ihumātao. Approaching landscapes as an archive, Lucy Mackintosh delves deeply into specific places, allowing us to understand histories that have not been written into books or inscribed upon memorials, but which still resonate through Auckland and beyond. Shifting Grounds provides a rare historical assessment of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland's past, with findings and stories that deepen understanding of New Zealand history.

Poenamo Revisited
Author: John Logan Campbell
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781869797980
Category : Auckland (N.Z.)
Languages : en
Pages : 673
Book Description
Imagine you are 23 years old, newly arrived in a country on the far side of the world where there are only a handful of other white men to keep you company. Imagine that you are fearless, bursting with energy and entrepreneurial resolve. Imagine that you are also well educated, a shrewd observer and a gifted writer. Four decades on you are one of the colony's wealthiest and best known citizens and politicians, and you sit down to remember those amazing years in the 1840s when the world was your oyster. This is the achievement of Sir John Logan Campbell's fascinating memoir/travelogue Poenamo, which continues to be a unique insight into early New Zealand. Republished as a complete fascimile of the 1889 reissue, Poenamo Revisited not only brings this extraordinary, vivid, timeless and entertaining book back into circulation but also offers a compelling insight into Campbell the man and the author, and the colonial society he helped build and in which he came to hold such sway. Handsomely produced and published in the 100th year since Campbell's death, this book is a taonga for all Aucklanders, in particular, to treasure. The hardback is beautifully packaged: quarter-bound with a belly band, and printed inside on a mixed of paper stocks. It is richly illustrated with early paintings and lithographs.
