The Changing Faces of Headington
The Changing Faces series came to life in 1994: ten years later there are nearly sixty titles in the series with many more planned. The series covers the City of Oxford including its many suburbs, county towns and villages. Although each book is packed with pictures of all kind, it is people that dominate. This is not particularly surprising since many of the authors have duel interests in local and family history, a consequence of this is that large numbers of people featured in the photographs are named.Typically the books cover local businesses, from the car factories to corner shops, school life, including recreational activities. People can be seen at all sorts of events, street parties, outings, fetes, carnivals etc. The success and uniqueness of this series is due to the source material, for the most part contributed by hundreds of individuals and gathered, collated and transcribed by the authors.
Late Nineteenth-and Early Twentieth-century British Women Poets
Essays on female British poets writing during the two final decades of the reign of Queen Victoria (1880-1901); the reign of her successor, King Edward VII (1901-1910); and all but the last eight years of the reign of King George V (1910-1936).
Fisher Row
Occupational communities were a feature of towns in the past, but they have been neglected by urban historians. This book is the study of such a community over a period of four hundred years. Fisher Row in Oxford lies between two streams of the Thames, and its inhabitants have long been connected with boats. There was a huddle of fishermen's houses here in the 16th century, bargemen joined them in the 17th century, and canal boatmen after the opening of the Oxford Canal.This study will appeal to a wide spectrum of social and economic historians and historians of the family as well as to local historians and British historians in general.

First published in 2001. This is the first substantial reference work in English on the various forms that constitute "life writing."

It includes entries on genres and subgenres, national and regional traditions from around the world, and important auto-biographical writers, as well as articles on related areas such as oral history, anthropology, testimonies, and the representation of life stories in non-verbal art forms.

The Armenians of Aintab
A TurkÕs discovery that Armenians once thrived in his hometown leads to a groundbreaking investigation into the local dynamics of genocide. mit Kurt, born and raised in Gaziantep, Turkey, was astonished to learn that his hometown once had a large and active Armenian community. The Armenian presence in Aintab, the cityÕs name during the Ottoman period, had not only been destroyedÑit had been replaced. To every appearance, Gaziantep was a typical Turkish city.
