First published in 1984, this title examines the development of a special rhetoric in Dickens’ work, which, by using grotesque effects, challenged the complacency of his middle-class Victorian readers. The study begins by exploring definitions of the grotesque and moves on to look at three key aspects that particularly impacted on Dickens’ imagination: popular theatre (especially pantomime), caricature, and the...

The Homeric epics have sometimes been regarded as the scriptures of antiquity. But to the Greeks who sought guidance in the troubles of their world, the normal method of ascertaining the will of God on...

With the advent of Thatcherism in the UK and Reaganomics in the USA, industrial policy had become something of a discredited notion in the 1980s. The emphasis had shifted to programmes of deregulation, de-nationalization, and tax reform. The essays in this challenging and vigorous collection, first published in 1989, sprung from work that had been conducted in the USA, notably...

J.N. Findlay, distinguished scholar and acknowledged expert on Plato, argues persuasively for a new interpretation of the Platonic writings. He believes that Plato's Unwritten Doctrines were present in the background of all the great philosopher's mature written work. With the use of Aristotelian and other writings on these reported doctrines, he demonstrates that they admit of an intelligible elucidation and...

Unemployment was perhaps the major problem confronting European society at the time in which The German Unemployed (Routledge Revivals) was first published in 1987, and is arguably still the case today. This collection of essays by British and German historians contributes to the debate by taking a close look at unemployment in the Weimar Republic. What groups were most severely...

This title was first published in 2000. John Ireland (1879-1962) was as elusive as the music that he composed.

The Music of John Ireland explores the expressive and extramusical qualities of Ireland's compositions and their complex system...

First published in 1999, The Restrictive Covenant in the Control of Land Use breaks new ground by treating the restrictive covenant from the aspect of the control of land use.

In the 1970s, the revolution that had swept the British theatre in the 1950s had already become accepted as the new establishment.

In The Second Wave (Routledge Revivals), first published in...

First published in 1996, this volume counters the attitude of paying more attention to the performer than to the piece.

First published in 1932, this book discusses the suspension of the gold standard in Britain, and the economic events surrounding September 1931. It argues that, despite specific errors made by individuals, groups, and individual nations, the attempts to save the pound had little chance of recovery. Indeed, years before its collapse, powerful, fundamental factors had been eroding its stability. Hence,...

This title was first published in 2003. Most European cities have experienced problems in certain neighbourhoods that are termed deprived or excluded.
