Lord Elgin and Ancient Greek Architecture

Lord Elgin and Ancient Greek Architecture

Luciana Gallo

Cambridge University Press
2009
sidottu
This book analyses the rich and remarkable collection of archaeological drawings, now housed in The British Museum, drawn in Greece by a team of architects and artists in the service of Lord Elgin during his ambassadorial expedition to the Levant (1799–1803). Luciana Gallo offers a new interpretation of Elgin's interest in antiquities and reveals the aims, innovative approach, and significant achievements of this specialised tour. She also reveals his contribution to the advancement of contemporary archaeological studies carried out by British and continental scholars, in connection to the search for original sources to promote Greek Revival architecture. This is the first time that the bulk of the Elgin Drawings collection in the British Museum has been published. The volume will thus serve as an indispensable guide to scholars and students of ancient Greek architecture and sculpture, as well as of nineteenth-century architectural revivalism.

Receiving Erin's Children

Receiving Erin's Children

Gallman J. Matthew

The University of North Carolina Press
2000
nidottu
Between 1845 and 1855, 2 million Irish men and women fled their famine-ravaged homeland, many to settle in large British and American cities that were already wrestling with a complex array of urban problems. In this innovative work of comparative urban history, Matthew Gallman looks at how two cities, Philadelphia and Liverpool, met the challenges raised by the influx of immigrants. Gallman examines how citizens and policymakers in Philadelphia and Liverpool dealt with such issues as poverty, disease, poor sanitation, crime, sectarian conflict, and juvenile delinquency. By considering how two cities of comparable population and dimensions responded to similar challenges, he sheds new light on familiar questions about distinctive national characteristics--without resorting to claims of ""American exceptionalism."" In this critical era of urban development, English and American cities often evolved in analogous ways, Gallman notes. But certain crucial differences--in location, material conditions, governmental structures, and voluntaristic traditions, for example--inspired varying approaches to urban problem solving on either side of the Atlantic. |This work of comparative history looks at how two rapidly growing cities, Philadelphia and Liverpool, coped with the urban challenges raised by the influx of Irish immigrants in the mid-nineteenth century.

A School Man of the Ozarks: Being an Autobiography of William Erwin Halbrook

A School Man of the Ozarks: Being an Autobiography of William Erwin Halbrook

William Erwin Halbrook

Rock Island Press

It's hard to imagine a time when American schools lacked essential basics like paper, desks and qualified teachers. Well into the 20th century, however, Arkansas continued to offer its students sporadic education in crowded, inadequate conditions -- something William Halbrook was determined to change. Born in the Ozarks in 1878, Halbrook grew up during a time when self-reliance was key. From early boyhood, Halbrook - the eldest of a hard-working farming family - was accustomed to taking care of his five younger brothers and making the most of himself. After finishing his education at the local one-room school, Halbrook sought to teach school himself. It was then that Halbrook's eyes were opened to just how much Arkansas schools were lacking. Poor roads, poverty, inadequately-educated teachers and residents' fear of "furriners" were just a few of the obstacles faced. After teaching 25 classes a day at a local school, Halbrook secured a full scholarship at the two-year Peabody Normal School in Nashville, where he began to learn how he could best help improve local standards . In addition to curriculum, Halbrook also understood the importance of building a sense of community among students . Growing up, he and his neighbors spent countless hours singing, debating, swimming and playing baseball -- developing a sense of camaraderie missing in so many students he encountered during his adulthood. Much of the high quality opportunities seen in today's Arkansas school system is due to the ideas and work of Halbrook, described in this warm and informative autobiography. - Joanna Mechlinski, New Britain, CT
