Bibliography 98 2 Chapter 1 Introduction In recent years there has been an upsurge in nationalist rhetoric being used across Europe, as increasingly ethnically diverse countries have seen a number of clashes between differing groups. In Great Britain, this has led to the rise in popularity of two new political parties, the British National Party and the English Defence League.1 The British National Party is the more mainstream of the two organisations and the one that takes part in general elections. In 2005 the party received a total of 192,746 votes.2 However, by the next general election in 2010, the part had increased its number of votes to 563,743.3 This demonstrates the extent to which far-right wing nationalist parties have become more popular over a short period of time. The first nationalist far-right organisation that achieved any popularity in Great Britain was the British Union of Fascists in the 1930‟s. These years leading up to the Second World War was the last time that nationalist movements were prominent in countries across Western Europe. The British Union of Fascists was a political party, formed in 1932 by Oswald Mosley. -

Lord Wolfson of Marylebone Trustee of the Wolfson Foundation from 1955 and Chairman 1972-2010 © The Wolfson Foundation FOREWORD The year 1972 was a pivotal one for the Wolfson Foundation: my father, Lord Wolfson of Marylebone, became Chairman and the Wolfson History Prize was established. No coincidence there. History was my father’s passion and primary source of intellectual stimulation. History books were his daily companions. Of all the Foundation’s many activities, none gave him greater pleasure than the History Prize. It is an immense sadness that he is not with us to celebrate the fortieth anniversary. -
Cleanliness and the Poor in Eighteenth-Century London
Cleanliness and the Poor in Eighteenth-Century London PhD Law Louise Falcini July 2018 ABSTRACT This study identifies the ways in which the urban poor both experienced and engaged with cleanliness during the long eighteenth century. It argues that the poor not only participated in acts of cleanliness but they did so multiple ways, sometimes as a client, at others as a service provider but more often than not as a strategist engaging in actions that enabled them to acquire clean clothing, bodies or surroundings. By drawing on a wide range of archival and printed sources it examines aspects of everyday plebeian life that have hitherto remained uncharted. It suggests that no single cleanliness regime – neither based on full-body immersion, nor ‘clean linen’, existed in eighteenth-century London. Instead, it posits that at least two regimes were present, and that, if anything, working men were most likely to pursue bodily cleanliness through river bathing. It also argues that even among the institutions of the capital, there were real disagreements about cleanliness, with most institutions adopting a clean linen regime, while prisons and lock-ups preserved an older regime. Overall, this thesis seeks to demonstrate that eighteenth-century cleanliness cannot be understood, without locating it in the specific circumstances of class, community and gender. ii Declaration I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged. iii Abbreviations LL London Lives LMA London Metropolitan Archives OBP Old Bailey Proceedings Online TNA The National Archives WCA Westminster City Archives Spellings, capitalisation and punctuation have been left as they were in the original documents. -

8Th May 2016
WORDS IN THE SQUARE CELEBRATING 175 YEARS OF INSPIRATION AT THE LONDON LIBRARY 5TH – 8TH MAY 2016 ABOUT THE LONDON LIBRARY On 3rd May 1841, Thomas Carlyle, the eminent Victorian philosopher and writer, was finally able to realise his vision for a new lending library for London. What he created that day has gone on to influence and inspire generations of readers and writers - from Charles Dickens, Henry James, Charles Darwin and Harriet Martineau to Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, Laurence Olivier, Agatha Christie and Winston Churchill amongst many others. Today, The London Library, with over one million volumes, is one of the largest independent lending libraries in the world. To all who use it, it is a special place. A place where they can be enriched by the wealth of knowledge within its walls, a place where they can write, research, read and let their imagination roam, a place to browse the bookshelves and be inspired. Having never received any significant or regular public funding, the Library has always relied on those who wish to use it paying an annual fee to do so. Such membership is open to everyone and we welcome all applications. As vital as that membership income is, the ongoing challenges of growth and development have meant that the Library has long benefited from private philanthropy. 175 years ago its launch was only possible because of the support of many, including Prince Albert, who gave both books and money. Today, as a registered charity, that support is still needed to ensure that The London Library remains a vibrant working home for literature. -
