First published in 1981, Bath, 1680–1850 reveals the changing
structure of society and its social values as shown in the
expansion of the city. The book examines the lives of men and women
who lived in Bath and who, as consumers and producers, transformed
it from a small Cotswold town built in the vernacular style, into a
uniquely spacious Palladian city devoted to the well-being and
leisure activities of the wealthy. In doing so, it explores how the
changes in Bath emerged in response to the needs of commerce,
industry, and its growing working class, and presents the city as a
microcosm of the social transformation brought about by the
development of capitalism in England. Bath, 1680–1850 will appeal
to those with an interest in social and cultural history.
First published in 1972, this collection of essays by R. S. Neale
focuses on authority, and the responses and challenges to it made
by men and women throughout the nineteenth century. Employing a
more sociologically-minded approach to history and specifically
using a 'five-class' model, the book explores features of class and
ideology in Britain and its Empire. It includes a range of case
studies such as the Bath radicals, the members of executive
councils in the Australian colonies, and the social strata in the
women's movements in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. This book will be of interest to those studying
Victorian history and sociology.
The songs of country music pioneer Jimmie Rodgers have been
appropriated by dozens of musicians and radically transformed since
he first recorded them nearly 90 years ago. His songs have often
resurfaced at critical moments when country music has been forced
to confront issues of style, gender, race, and tradition. In this
cultural and historical study, Jocelyn R. Neal discusses three of
Rodgers' most influential songs "Muleskinner Blues," "In the
Jailhouse Now," and "T for Texas." She offers a radically new
perspective on the role of Rodgers and his music in the making of
country music, and on the ways in which individual songs take on
special significance in American cultural life."
