Book Synopsis Chimneys and Chimney Sweeps by : Benita Cullingford
Download or read book Chimneys and Chimney Sweeps written by Benita Cullingford and published by Shire Publications. This book was released on 2008-03-04 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although it has been an established and essential trade since the twelfth century, chimney sweeping has long been a controversial business. The figure of the chimney sweep became an increasingly common sight on the streets of London with the urbanisation of the eighteenth century, and during the Victorian era the visible plight of the 'poor climbing boys' stirred a growing concern for the welfare of children employed in the trade, inspiring a movement for political reform. Drawing from the original accounts of master sweeps, contemporary literature, parliamentary records and surviving architecture, Benita Cullingford here traces the origin and development of the chimney itself as well as the social and professional aspects of the trade - the lives sweeps led, the dangers they faced, the way they worked and the transformations wrought by the rise of sweeping 'machines' in the nineteenth century"--Back cover.

Book Synopsis British Chimney Sweeps by : Benita Cullingford
Download or read book British Chimney Sweeps written by Benita Cullingford and published by New Amsterdam Books. This book was released on 2001-04-17 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our picture of a chimney sweep is often Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. This meticulously researched examination shows a different side to this hazardous trade. The art and science of chimney sweeping are examined in detail for the first time in this lively and fascinating book. From the development of chimneys in the twelfth century, replacing the open cooking fire in a smoke-filled room with a plain hole in the roof, to the patenting of mechanical devices in the late nineteenth century that came to the rescue of many a poor climbing boy, all is revealed. The personalities who dominated the profession, which surprisingly included several women sweeps, are portrayed, along with many illustrations of the tools of the trade. Sweeping techniques, the impact of social reform and the place of the sweep in literature are explored in this absorbing work. With 75 black-and-white illustrations.

Book Synopsis The Nail in the Skull and Other Victorian Urban Legends by : Simon Young
Download or read book The Nail in the Skull and Other Victorian Urban Legends written by Simon Young and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last fifty years, folklorists have amassed an extraordinary corpus of contemporary legends including the “Choking Doberman,” the “Eaten Ticket,” and the “Vanishing Hitchhiker.” But what about the urban legends of the past? These legends and tales have rarely been collected, and when they occasionally appear, they do so as ancestors or precursors of the urban legends of today, rather than as stories in their own right. In The Nail in the Skull and Other Victorian Urban Legends, Simon Young fills this gap for British folklore (and for the wider English-speaking world) of the 1800s. Young introduces seventy Victorian urban legends ranging from “Beetle Eyes” to the “Shoplifter’s Dilemma” and from “Hands in the Muff” to the “Suicide Club.” While a handful of these stories are already known, the vast majority have never been identified, and they have certainly never received scholarly treatment. Young begins the volume with a lengthy introduction assessing nineteenth-century media, emphasizing the importance of the written word to the perpetuation and preservation of these myths. He draws on numerous nineteenth-century books, periodicals, and ephemera, including digitized newspaper archives—particularly the British Newspaper Archive, an exciting new hunting ground for folklorists. The Nail in the Skull and Other Victorian Urban Legends will appeal to an academic audience as well as to anyone who is interested in urban legends.
