Free Download James Gregory, "The Royal Throne of Mercy and British Culture in the Victorian Age"
English | ISBN: 1350142433 | 2020 | 288 pages | PDF | 12 MB
In the first detailed study of its kind, James Gregory’s book takes a historical approach to mercy by focusing on widespread and varied discussions about the quality, virtue or feeling of mercy in the British world during Victoria’s reign. Gregory covers an impressive range of themes from the gendered discourses of ’emotional’ appeal surrounding Queen Victoria to the exercise and withholding of royal mercy in the wake of colonial rebellion throughout the British empire. Against the backdrop of major events and their historical significance, a masterful synthesis of rich source material is analysed, including visual depictions (paintings and cartoons in periodicals and popular literature) and literary ones (in sermons, novels, plays and poetry).

Free Download Jo Stanley, "A History of the Royal Navy: Women and the Royal Navy"
English | ISBN: 1780767560 | 2018 | 256 pages | PDF | 50 MB
Never at Sea’ was the motto of the Women’s Royal Naval Service (WRNS) in its two-stage life from 1917-1919 and 1939-1994. Yet most of its members-commonly known as Wrens-wanted to serve on the ocean wave. This book considers the history and identity of the Wrens and shows how they developed from port-bound cooks, clerks, telegraphists, radar Descriptionters and mechanics to fully-fledged members of the naval service. Using previously-unpublished first-hand material, this book explores the very different periods in the twentieth century history of women associated with the Royal Navy. It shows how Wrens moved from the exceptionalised and chaperoned ladies of WW1 to the reality of the twenty-first century’s highly respected female submariners and warship commanders. Jo Stanley provides the first accessible gendered analysis of Wrens and their successors and positions the women of the Royal Navy as above all, women who wanted mobility: the right to join the fleet.
