Trade Paperback. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. MINT - a NEW copy. Illustrated with Colour and Black & White Photographs. 184 pages. 'This Merioola is a strange old house. There are rooms and passages and west wings and surprising hidden courtyards that one comes on accidentally: there are customs and ceremonies, peculiar rites and festivals that have grown up with the habit of the characters who live here.' The artist, Donald Friend, diarised these comments in 1946 just after renting a room in Merioola, a colonial mansion in Sydney's Woollahra then operating as a boarding house. Its tenants were dancers, designers, musicians, painters, sculptors, writers and other creative types. In the 1940s it was the centre of the city's bohemian life. But for eighty years prior to Merioola's phase as an 'artists' colony,â it was already famous for the prominent people who lived there and their legendary fêtes and fashionable balls. This is the story of Merioola and its residents and their triumphs and tragedies over all the years of its existence.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. In Harlots, Hussies, and Poor Unfortunate Women, Edith M. Ziegler recounts the history of British convict women involuntarily transported to Maryland in the eighteenth century.Great Britain?s forced transportation of convicts to colonial Australia is well known. Less widely known is Britain?s earlier programme of sending convicts - including women - to North America. Many of these women were assigned as servants in Maryland. Titled using Basing much of her powerful narrative on the experiences of actual women, Ziegler restores individual faces to women stripped of their basic freedoms. She begins by vividly invoking the social conditions of eighteenth-century Britain, which suffered high levels of criminal activity, frequently petty thievery. Contemporary readers and scholars will be fascinated by Ziegler?s explanation of how gender-influenced punishments were meted out to women and often ensnared them in Britain?s system of convict labour.Ziegler also clearly describes the methods and operation of the convict trade and sale procedures in colonial markets. Readers will travel with her to the places where convict servants were deployed and will come to understand the role these women played in colonial Maryland and their contributions to the region?s society and economy. Ziegler?s research also sheds light on escape attempts and the lives that awaited those who survived servitude.Mostly illiterate, convict women left few primary sources such as diaries or letters in their own words. Ziegler has masterfully researched the penumbra of associated documents and accounts to reconstruct the worlds of eighteenth-century Britain and colonial Maryland and the lives of these unwilling American settlers. In illuminating this little-known episode in American history, Ziegler also discusses not just the fact that these women have been largely forgotten, but why. Harlots, Hussies and Poor Unfortunate Women makes a valuable contribution to American history, women?s studies, and labour history.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 316 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | France, 1879. The Marquis de Rays dreams of a utopian colony on a remote tropical island in Oceania north of Australia. He has never been to this place-a rain-drenched wilderness shadowed by mountains. Undaunted, he gathers investors, and hundreds of hopeful European battlers set out for the new world.In northern Italy, a young farmer, Matteo, convinces his wife, Rosa, that they should emigrate. Leaving him behind to sell their smallholding, she embarks with their baby on the Marquis' third expedition.Matteo follows later, only to discover his family are gone, there is no arable land, malaria is rife, and the captain commanding the colony is mad. Will Matteo find his Rosa and baby Angelo among other refugees who have fled to Sydney? And if he does, how will they begin again?The marquis, a historical character, destroyed the lives, hopes, and fortunes of many. In this compelling debut novel, survival and a fresh start may be the best his victims - the investors, adventurers and immigrants - can hope for.Although the novel is set in the nineteenth century, it touches on issues that have resonance in the twenty-first century - financial fraud, a loss of trust in once revered individuals and venerated institutions, refugee policy, and the perennial dreams of 'economic' migrants seeking a better life. In her research for this novel, Ziegler spent time in Conegliano (Italy), Marseille, and Barcelona, absorbing the atmosphere and detail of these places. Her great strength as a novelist is her ability to flesh out historical facts and fragments into a fully developed world inhabited by knowable and relatable characters. …
