Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts erfreuten sich öffentliche Lichtbildvorträge als Mittel der Belehrung und Agitation großer Beliebtheit. Mutterland dieser Medieninszenierung ist Großbritannien, wo eine eigene Wirtschaftsbranche mit Produktionsfirmen, Vertriebsstrukturen und kommerziellen wie nichtkommerziellen Anbietern von unterhaltsamen Shows und lehrreichen Vorführungen entstand. In britischen Groß- und Mittelstädten sind lantern lectures (Lichtbildervorträge) ein fester Bestandteil des Angebots öffentlicher Bildungsveranstaltungen. Soziale Organisationen, die in der Armenfürsorge und Armutsprävention tätig sind, setzen Projektionsaufführungen gezielt zur Propagierung ihrer Ziele, zur Mitgliederwerbung und zum Spendensammeln ein. Der Reiz dieses neuen Mediums wurde noch gesteigert mit festlichen Umzügen und multisensorischen Darbietungen wie der Kostümierung der Vortragenden und Operateure oder der Verabreichung von Speisen und Getränken nebst gemeinsamen Singen. Als "Great Gun", als großartige "Bilderkanone" (S. 291) zur Bekämpfung von Armut bzw. der durch Armut drohenden ,Sünde' bewährte sich der bildwerfende Projektor also nicht nur über die projizierten Bilder, sondern ganz wesentlich im szenischen Verbund mit sozialen Praktiken wie Umzügen, Gottesdiensten, Speisungen und gemeinsamem Singen. Die Autorin untersucht diese Medienpraktik am Beispiel von zwei christlichen Organisationen der Temperenzbewegung (United Kingdom Band of Hope Union und Church of England Temperance Society), drei Organisationen christlicher Mission und Unterweisung (Sunday School Union, Church Army, Salvation Army) sowie zwei säkulare sozialpolitische Organisation (Co-operative Movement und Clarion Movement). Sie leistet damit Pionierarbeit bei der Erforschung eines bisher wenig beachteten visuellen Massenmediums.

Schools, universities, the church and many public and private institutions all over the world relied on the lantern for illustrated lectures and demonstrations. This volume brings together scholarly research on the educational uses of the optical lantern in different disciplines by international specialists, representing the state of the art of magic lantern research today. In addition, it contains a lab section with contributions by archivists and curators and performers reflecting on ways to preserve, present and re-use this immensely rich cultural heritage today.

By studying the temperance societies that flourished in late Victorian and Edwardian England, this book opens a window through which we can view middle-class and working-class society. Such societies provided the backbone for temperance both as a social movement and a political lobby. Most temperance societies became aligned with the Liberal Party in support of prohibition by Local Veto. A few allowed members to drink, but most were committed to total abstinence. There were organizations of middle-class men, of workingmen and their wives, of women, and of children and youth. The largest adult society was affiliated with the Church of England, but most societies were identified with Nonconformist denominations.

This open access book takes the biographical case of German feminist Käthe Schirmacher (1865–1930), a multilingual translator, widely travelled writer of fiction and non-fiction, and a disputatious activist to examine the travel and translation of ideas between the women’s movements that emerged in many countries in the late 19th and early 20th century. It discusses practices such as translating, interpreting, and excerpting from journals and books that spawned and supported transnational civic spaces and develops a theoretical framework to analyse these practices. It examines translations of literary, scholarly and political texts and their contexts. The book will be of interest to academics as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of modern history, women’s and gender history, cultural studies, transnational and transfer history, translation studies, history and theory of biography.

From Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist to George Sims's How the Poor Live, illustrated accounts of poverty were en vogue in Victorian Britain. Poverty was also a popular subject on the screen, whether in dramatic retellings of well-known stories or in 'documentary' photographs taken in the slums. London and its street life were the preferred setting for George Robert Sims's rousing ballads and the numerous magic lantern slide series and silent films based on them. Sims was a popular journalist and dramatist, whose articles, short stories, theatre plays and ballads discussed overcrowding, drunkenness, prostitution and child poverty in dramatic and heroic episodes from the lives and deaths of the poor. Richly illustrated and drawing from many previously unknown sources, Pictures of Poverty is a comprehensive account of the representation of poverty throughout the Victorian period, whether disseminated in newspapers, illustrated books and lectures, presented on the theatre stage or projected on the screen in magic lantern and film performances. Detailed case studies reveal the intermedial context of these popular pictures of poverty and their mobility across genres. With versatile author George R. Sims as the starting point, this study explores the influence of visual media in historical discourses about poverty and the highly controversial role of the Victorian state in poor relief.

The idea behind this volume, according to its editor Brian Lavery, was to give a rounded picture of life at sea during the age of sail. It concentrates on the daily routine of shipboard life rather than more dramatic events such as battles and mutiny. It supplements other volumes produced by the Navy Records Society, notably Five Naval Journals 1789-1817 (vol 91, 1951, ed H G Thursfield) and The Health of Seamen (vol 107, 1965, ed C C Lloyd.) The selection begins in the second quarter of the eighteenth century because, stated Brian Lavery, ‘there are no suitable documents from earlier periods’ and closes in 1815, when the navy entered a new era with the advent of steam and a long period of peace. One of the most important aspects of shipboard life was that it was intensely self-contained, especially in the later part of the age of sail. After the conquest of scurvy, ships were able to stay at sea for many months at a time and the world-wide battle for empire caused them to make very long voyages, often away from their home bases over a period of years. Even in port seamen often stayed on board and shore leave was not in any sense a right. This volume throws a spotlight on the way in which a crew of up to 850 men could be crammed into a small space for many months at a time, and the ways in which they were fed, clothed, allocated space for eating and sleeping, at the same time as they were organised for sailing and battle duties. It contains separate sections dealing with Admiralty Regulations, Captain’s Orders, Medical Journals, discipline and punishment. It also includes an extensive glossary of the nautical terms and descriptions of the time.
