Images of English was the first book to focus exclusively on opinions about the language as they have evolved through time. Through the use of abundant quotations, Richard Bailey lets voices from the past speak to our present assumptions and challenges the notion of English triumphalism throughout the world and the ages. The book offers a unique historical perspective on attitudes towards the language. We see that journalists who fill anxious columns on slow news-days with fulminations on linguistic deterioration are embellishing centuries of complaint; that women who campaign for a language free of patriarchy and suited to themselves express a yearning first conveyed long ago; that teachers who recommend the vigour of Anglo-Saxon words are sustaining an idea that emerged four hundred years ago in notions about racial purity.

"Sketches of English life Character" is a vintage book by Mary Russell Mitford on the subject of English daily life, manners, and customs. Mary Russell Mitford (1787 - 1855) was an English dramatist and author best known for her book "Our Village," which contained a series of sketches of typical English village life and characters based upon life in Three Mile Cross, a hamlet in the parish of Shinfield, near Reading in Berkshire, England. Not dissimilar to "Our Village," this volume offers a unique glimpse into "the English," making it highly recommended for anyone with an interest in traditional English culture and customs. Contents include: "A Great Farmhouse," "A Country Cricket Match," "A Village Beau," "Tom Cordery," "Bramley Maying," "A Country Apothecary," "The Copse," "Whitsun Eve," "The Rat-Catcher," "Whitsun Eve," "The Bird-Catcher," "A Visit," "Hannah Bint," "Doctor Tubb," "A Country Barber," etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a new, affordable, modern edition complete with the original text and artwork.

"Our Old Home: A Series of English Sketches" is a collection of essays and sketches written by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne, originally published in 1863.

He provides detailed descriptions and insights into English society, customs, historical landmarks, and the landscape. The essays offer a mix of travelogue, cultural analysis, and personal reflection. Hawthorne's writing in this collection showcases his keen powers of observation and his ability to capture the nuances of people and places. "Our Old Home" provides a valuable perspective on the differences between American and English culture during the mid-19th century and is considered a significant work of travel literature by one of America's most esteemed authors.

In recent years the study of British art, especially of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, has been transformed. This has been the result of a general awareness of the theoretical issues involved in the study of culture and society, and the new emphasis given to questions of class, race, and gender, which has produced a new, inter-disciplinary approach to the study of British art. The essays in this book, all previously unpublished, are written by distinguished scholars from various disciplines, several of whom have been at the forefront of this transformation. There are essays on Gainsborough, Joseph Wright of Derby, Turner, and Benjamin Robert Haydon; on the teaching of art to women, on eighteenth-century social theories of painting, and on the representation of industrial landscape, of femininity, and of 'exotic' and oriental cultures. The result is a book which is of equal interest to scholars and students of the history of art, literature, social history, cultural studies and women's studies.
