From a historical point of view Sunday schools have immense
significance. In the nineteenth century Sunday schools were part of
general educational provision and represented the Christian
philanthropic impulse to provide a basic education to the
population at large and at low cost. In this book a range of
experts assess different aspects of the history of the Sunday
school movement. Contributors include Clyde Binfield, Faith Bowers,
John Briggs, Grayson Ditchfield, Hugh McLeod, Stephen Orchard, Jack
Priestley, Geoffrey Robson, and Doreen Rosman.
The works of William Shakespeare vividly represent for our
admiration and study a pageant of souls with longing in whose wake
we ceaselessly follow. Through some of his most memorable
characters, Shakespeare illuminates the nature and character-as
well as consequences-of our distinctively human passions and
ambition, in particular our desire for and pursuit of both honor
and love. The contributors to this collaborative volume (scholars
in English Literature, Political Philosophy, and the Humanities)
argue that Shakespeare has much to teach us about our longing for
honor and love in particular, and thus about who we are, what we
desire, and why. Through sustained reflection on the Shakespearean
portraits of honor and love, which are the focus of the chapters in
Souls With Longing, we become more keenly aware of our own humanity
and come to know ourselves more profoundly. As the abiding
popularity of his works aptly demonstrates, Shakespeare's
unforgettable portraits of souls with longing-his representations
of honor and love-continue to exert undeniable sway over our
political, moral, and romantic imaginations.

In the last thirty years landmark buildings have been demolished,
docks filled in, the barrage built, maritime businesses closed, and
streets disappeared. In their place, a huge redevelopment scheme,
gentrification, and tourism. Among the frantic activity, local
communities face up to their changing landscape, with the
implications it brings. With characteristic honesty and an eye for
compelling detail, John Briggs brings these changes to a wider
audience in this not to be missed book.
