Excerpt from The Home Counties Magazine, Vol. 13: Devoted to the Topography of London, Middlesex, Essex, Herts, Bucks, Berks, Surrey, Kent, and Sussex The task of selecting a few of the very numerous old London Coffee-Houses for the purpose of description in this article, is a difficult one indeed; we would like to write of them all, but with the limited space at our disposal, that, alas, is impossible. It is not necessary to trace at any length the gradual growth of the coffee-drinking habit; suffice it to say that one Jacobs, a Jew, was the first to establish a coffee-house, at Oxford, in the year of grace 1650. A striking example of the lack of enterprise in those days is afforded by the fact that his example was not followed until two years later, when a similar establishment was set up in St. Michael's Alley, Cornhill, by Pasqua Rossee, this being the first coffee-house in the City of London. The new drink took some little time to find favour with the public; it had to be tried, and its efficacy for the cure of headaches and other ills - that had been claimed for it - proved. But this once accomplished, the coffee-houses quickly sprang into favour, and by the time of Charles II they were to be found in great numbers all over the metropolis. They soon began to exercise an influence on public opinion; for men of all classes met under their hospitable roofs for the discussion of their several trades and professions, and to cultivate a spirit of social intercourse. At first they were distinctly cosmopolitan in their frequenters; merchants, actors, lawyers, doctors, literary folk, and even judges and "gentlemen of the road," are said to have rubbed shoulders there. Even the poorest, by the expenditure of a penny or two-pence, the price of a cup of coffee, could mix with the company and enjoy the conversation. A person desiring to meet another at that time, would not ask Adhere he lived, but what coffee-house he frequented.

Blackfriars: Theater, Church, and Neighborhood in Early Modern London is a cultural history of an urban enclave best known in the later sixteenth and seventeenth centuries for the incongruous juxtaposition of playing and godly preaching. As the former site of one of London's great religious houses, the post-Reformation Blackfriars was a Liberty free from mayoral control. The legal exemptions and privileges enjoyed by its residents helped attract an unusual mix of groups and activities. Zealous preachers and puritan parishioners mingled with playhouse workers and playgoers, as well as with the immigrant 'strangers' who settled here. The book focuses on local playhouse-church relations and asks how a theatrical culture was able to flourish in a parish dominated by committed puritans. Physically, the church of St Anne's and the playhouse were virtually next-door, but ideologically they seemed poles apart. Yet despite the occasional efforts of some residents to close the playhouse, godly religion and commercial playing managed to coexist. In explanation, the book examines the conflicting economic and ideological priorities of residents and the overriding desire to promote order and neighborliness. More provocatively, I argue that the Blackfriars pulpit and stage could be mutually reinforcing sites of performance. Preachers as well as playwrights exploited the Liberty's vexed relations with authority to air satirical and dissident views of the established church and state. By examining Blackfriars sermons and plays side-by-side, the book reveals a synergy between two institutions usually considered implacable enemies.

This collection of new essays explores the role played by women practitioners in the arts during the period often referred to as the Belle Epoque, a turn of the century period in which the modern media (audio and film recording, broadcasting, etc.) began to become a reality. Exploring the careers and creative lives of both the famous (Sarah Bernhardt) and the less so (Pauline Townsend) across a remarkable range of artistic activity from composition through oratory to fine art and film directing, these essays attempt to reveal, in some cases for the first time, women's true impact on the arts at the turn of the 19th century.
