Growing Up in England
This book presents an entirely fresh view of the upbringing of English children in upper and professional class families over three centuries. Drawing on direct testimony from contemporary diaries and letters, the book revises previous understandings of parenting and what it was like to grow up in the period between 1600 and 1914.Using advice literature which set out developing ideologies of childhood, gender and parenting, the book explores the separate but complementary roles of mothers and fathers in raising their children. Male upbringing is discussed in terms of schooling, female through the moral and social context of a domestic schoolroom dominated by a governess. Boys were trained for the world, girls for society and marriage. Rare teenage diaries surviving from the Georgian and Victorian periods show teenagers speaking for themselves about education; relationships with parents, siblings and friends; and their social, class and gender identity.

What he cannot do is marry a mere servant girl. Even if it breaks both their hearts ...
Sidney Howard and Clare Eames
In the 1920s, the playwright Sidney Howard and his wife, actress Clare Eames, were at the heart of the movement to change the American theater from a commercial enterprise to one with art at its center. Sidney gained fame writing They Knew What They Wanted (which won the Pulitzer Prize) in 1924. A dramatist for the Theatre Guild, he wrote Ned McCobb's Daughter and The Silver Cord and became the voice of American theater's fight against censorship. Energetic and ambitious Clare played some of the greatest dramatic roles for women, including Queen Elizabeth, Lady MacBeth, and Hedda Gabler. For a time, Sidney and Clare were an ideal couple, collaborating on dramas and drawing admirers in both E...
The Church and Chapel Interiors of John Loughborough Pearson
John Loughborough Pearson(1817-97) was one of the most eminent and distinguished architects of theVictorian Gothic Revival movement, completing designs for over 200 new churchesand church restorations in England alone over the course of his lengthy career.Although the architecture of Pearson's churches has been studied in somedetail, relatively little research has been undertaken to understand thesignificance of their interiors: the new fixtures and fittings (includingmoveable and portable items) which formed part of each commission, and theparticular role of the architect in their design and execution. Without thisunderstanding it can be particularly difficult to address conservation issues...
