Masters Under God
Author: Richard Woodman
Publisher: History Press Limited
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
Masters Under God presents the third of five books in Richard Woodman's groundbreaking history of the British Merchant Navy, covering the period from 1817 to 1884, from the end of the Napoleonic War to the first steam-ships bound for Australia, then in the throes of a great immigration boom. It encompasses gold rush-fuelled emigration as well as the Opium Wars and the breaking down of trade barriers with Imperial China, including the opening of the Suez Canal, the laying of submarine telegraph cables and the birth of cruise companies like Cunard and P&O. The 1860s was the era of the beautiful tea clippers, but it was also a period which began with the social status of the merchant marine at low ebb, blighted by inebriation and ineptitude, prior to Samuel Plimsoll's safety reforms. Alongside the continuing development of the sailing ship and the downfall of the East India Company's monopoly on eastern trade, the first steamers started plying along the coasts of Europe and America before venturing across the Atlantic, and eventually, the world. This dazzling book continues the story of the mercantile marine where the previous volume finished, and will leave you anticipating the next with baited breath. '...a terrific book, tackling a vast subject with a perceptive eye...Lots of surprising facts and a salutary reminder that the Merchant Navy often played a far more critical role in Britain's history than the Royal Navy' - Dr.David Cordingly.

Ira Aldridge: The vagabond years, 1833-1852
Author: Bernth Lindfors
Publisher: University Rochester Press
ISBN: 1580463940
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Volume 2 of the first available biography of this great African-American classical actor, covering his emergence as a professional actor in Britain during the years 1833-1852. Ira Aldridge: The Vagabond Years, 1833-1852 deals in depth with the later experiences of one of the modern world's first black classical actors as he toured throughout the United Kingdom impressing audiences with his virtuosity and versatility as an interpreter not only of tragic and comic black roles but also eventually as an actor of classic white Shakespearean parts -- Shylock, Macbeth, Richard III, even Iago. Aldridge was very popular in Ireland and remained there for six years, performing in venues large and small. He traveled often in his own carriage with assistants who supported him in scenes, enabling famous plays to be staged anywhere, even in villages that did not have a proper theater. He also performed periodically in large cities with professional acting companies, and returned to the London stage in 1848, after leaving it fifteen years earlier. During these years he expandedhis repertoire, refined his skills, and gained a reputation as one of Britain's most talented thespians. In dealing with Aldridge's emergence as a professional actor in the United Kingdom, Lindfors here records in detail theups and downs of his itinerant existence in a world where no theatergoer had ever seen anyone like him on stage before. Aldridge was genuinely a unique phenomenon in Britain at a pivotal point in history. Bernth Lindfors is Professor Emeritus of English and African Literatures, University of Texas at Austin, and editor of Ira Aldridge: The African Roscius (University of Rochester Press, 2007).
