Download or read book The Armstrong Girl written by Cathy Le Feuvre and published by Lion Books. This book was released on 2015-06-19 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1885 Victorian England was scandalized by a court case that lifted the veil on prostitution and the sex trade. In the Old Bailey dock stood W.T. Stead, the editor of the Pall Mall Gazette, which had recently published a series of articles on the sex trade; Rebecca Jarrett, a reformed brothel keeper; and the second-in-command of The Salvation Army, Bramwell Booth. They were accused of abducting a thirteen-year-old girl, Eliza Armstrong, apparently buying her for the purpose of prostitution. In fact they had done this as a sensational exposé of the trade in young girls. The scandal triggered a massive petition and ultimately resulted in the raising of the British age of consent from thirteen to sixteen. Today human trafficking is once again making world headlines - as are recent calls to lower the age of consent. Eliza's story is a thrilling account of what can be achieved by those brave enough to believe that change is not only possible but has to come.

Download or read book A City Girl written by Margaret Harkness and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2017-09-20 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1888, Friedrich Engels wrote a letter to the English novelist and journalist Margaret Harkness, expressing his appreciation for her first novel, A City Girl: A Realistic Story, calling it “a small work of art.” A City Girl was one of many slum novels set in the East End of London in the 1880s. It tells the story of a young East Ender, Nelly Ambrose, who is seduced and abandoned by a middle-class bureaucrat. After the birth of her child and betrayal by her family, Nelly is rescued by two outside forces: the Salvation Army and a sympathetic local man, George, who wants to marry her despite her “fallen” status. While Nelly’s relative passivity and social ignorance distinguish her from contemporary New Woman heroines, Harkness’s sympathy for Nelly’s position and refusal to judge her morally make A City Girl a fascinating and original novel. This Broadview Edition includes contemporary reviews of A City Girl along with historical documents on London’s East End, fallen women in late-Victorian fiction, and reform organizations for East End women.

Overhear his plans, and listen - or try not to - to his secret thoughts as he waits in the shadows. Keep pace, if you have the nerve, as he stalks his victims. Watch, if you have the stomach, as he commits his outrages. Run with him, if you're still upright, as he escapes the swarming forces of police desperate for his hide and head. These are the Whitechapel murders, as told by Jack the Ripper himself. The Devil's Bed: While touring a ruined castle in France, Brandy Petracus is led to the unhallowed graveyard of Templar knights executed for practicing black magic. Long forgotten by the world, this ancient cemetery is known to the locals as the Devil's Bed, and its occupants do not rest in peace. Brandy soon finds herself the leader of an eclectic group besieged by resurrected Templar knights - craving their blood. Vampirism, madness, dark humor and flashbacks to 14th century Paris tell Brandy's story of commitment, trust and sacrifice, as she is forced to hole up in an ancient chapel with her friends and fight for survival. Even then, the Devil's Bed has yet to surrender all of its secrets. The Melting Dead: Everything they grab catches fire. Everyone they touch dies. Everything they kill comes back from the dead. A secluded Mississippi River island is the perfect vacation getaway... until the space rocks land. An innocent family is killed by searing radiation. That same cosmic force returns Dad, sis, and the two boys from the grave. But they're deteriorating quickly; melting away. Only flesh and blood can save them. Oh, look. Here come the tourists! It's a B-movie between book covers; a roller-coaster ride of terror to burst your heart with fear and make your sides ache with laughter.

But what can Erin do, where can she go, how can she fight the horror... When The Tik-Tik Sings?

Book Synopsis The Cultural Construction of London’s East End by : Paul Newland
Download or read book The Cultural Construction of London’s East End written by Paul Newland and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Newland’s illuminating study explores the ways in which London’s East End has been constituted in a wide variety of texts – films, novels, poetry, television shows, newspapers and journals. Newland argues that an idea or image of the East End, which developed during the late nineteenth century, continues to function in the twenty-first century as an imaginative space in which continuing anxieties continue to be worked through concerning material progress and modernity, rationality and irrationality, ethnicity and 'Otherness', class and its related systems of behaviour.The Cultural Construction of London’s East End offers detailed examinations of the ways in which the East End has been constructed in a range of texts including BBC Television’s EastEnders, Monica Ali’s Brick Lane, Walter Besant’s All Sorts and Conditions of Men, Thomas Burke’s Limehouse Nights, Peter Ackroyd’s Hawksmoor, films such as Piccadilly, Sparrows Can’t Sing, The Long Good Friday, From Hell, The Elephant Man, and Spider, and in the work of Iain Sinclair.
