Cricket in the Park

Cricket in the Park

Roger Packham

Methuen Publishing Ltd

sidottu
Henry North Holroyd, the 3rd Lord Sheffield was born in 1832. After Eton he spent time in the Diplomatic Service and the Army. He became an MP for East Sussex in 1857 and held the seat for eight years. Also in 1857 he began his first term as president of Sussex CCC and remained in office for eleven years.His greatest indulgence was at his home, Sheffield Park, where he built a cricket ground to match any in the country. In 1884 and on four later occasions, the Australian Tourists began their tours with a fixture against Lord Sheffield's XI, captained always by the legendary W G Grace. In 1891/2 Lord Sheffield took the England team to Australia to play a Test series. Other grand matches in the Park included fixtures against South Africa and a team of Parsees from Bombay. Lord Sheffield was famous for his hospitality and no expense was spared in staging these wonderful cricket matches.

Living with Matisse, Picasso and the New Decade

Living with Matisse, Picasso and the New Decade

Monte Packham; Carrie Pilto

Thames Hudson Ltd
2018
nidottu
Living with Matisse, Picasso, and the New Decade explores one of the most ambitious and idiosyncratic - yet largely unknown - private collections of 20th-century Western art, and its complex, charismatic creator Theodor `Teto' Ahrenberg (1912-89). Containing over 6,000 artworks acquired between the late 1940s and late 1980s, the collection featured, throughout its dramatic existence, key works by artists as distinguished and diverse as Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Le Corbusier, Olle Baertling, Sam Francis, OEyvind Fahlstroem, Tadeusz Kantor, Lucio Fontana, Christo, Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle. Ahrenberg's ever-renewing collection was shaped by his commitment to the changing notion of contemporary art, his dedication to young and marginalized artists, his intuition, and a self-declared conviction that he was not merely a collector but a `catalyst' - one who facilitated exhibitions, collaborations and commissions, and who employed art as an instrument against conservatism and complacency. Ahrenberg passionately believed in personally meeting those artists whose works he acquired, and he accordingly established rich, long-term friendships that transcended the conventional artist-collector dynamic. Living with Matisse, Picasso, and the New Decade, the first monograph on Ahrenberg's fascinating collection and life, draws on a wealth of personal correspondence between Ahrenberg and `his' artists, and presents much previously unpublished visual material including artworks, photographs and architectural plans

Panshanger Aerodrome

Panshanger Aerodrome

Michael Packham

The History Press Ltd
2006
nidottu
This book is an illustrated history of Panshanger Aerodrome in Hertfordshire. Much smaller today than its heyday, it was originally 248 acres acquired by the Air Ministry in 1940. A decoy factory was constructed there to divert enemy bombers from the de Havilland facility at Hatfield, 6 miles south and the lands beside de Havilland were also used as a reserve landing ground, called Howell Hyde.In 1941 the Elementary Flying School moved from Hatfield to Holwell Hyde and it continued expansion becoming RAF Panshanger in 1943. Army and airforce pilots were trained there as were Allied forces, i.e. Dutch Air Force and Turkish and Canadian military. De Havilland managed the London Aeroplane Club on the north site and the Reserve Flying School, and a gliding school was based there until 1955. In 1953 the aerodrome sold into private hands. It has since featured in many a television advert.

Mary Wollstonecraft and Political Economy

Mary Wollstonecraft and Political Economy

Catherine Packham

Cambridge University Press
2025
pokkari
Why was Wollstonecraft's landmark feminist work, the Vindication of the Rights of Woman, categorised as a work of political economy when it was first published? Taking this question as a starting point, Mary Wollstonecraft and Political Economy gives a compelling new account of Wollstonecraft as critic of the material, moral, social, and psychological conditions of commercial modernity. Offering thorough analysis of Wollstonecraft's major writings - including her two Vindications, her novels, her history of the French Revolution, and her travel writing - this is the only book-length study to situate Wollstonecraft in the context of the political economic thought of her time. It shows Wollstonecraft as an economic as much as a political radical, whose critique of the emerging economic orthodoxies of her time anticipates later Romantic thinkers. This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available Open Access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details.

Coastal Gothic, 1719–2020

Coastal Gothic, 1719–2020

Jimmy Packham

Cambridge University Press
2026
nidottu
Littoral zones such as haunted shorelines, oppressively expansive beaches, and the crumbling edgelands around coastal cliffs have been an indelible feature of the Gothic literary tradition since the eighteenth century. They are frequently portrayed as strange, interstitial realms, sites of epistemic and existential precarity, of wreckage and uncanny returns, poised between the homely and unhomely, whose intense openness to the world(s) beyond contend uneasily (yet valuably) with the imagined integrity of selves and nations: it is a region, above all, of unsettlement. Coastal Gothic, 1719–2020 offers the first long-form examination of the coastal Gothic. Focusing on British and Irish Gothic authors and on the fraught political and human histories of the coastline, this Element examines the function of littoral terror, hauntings, and uncanny encounters as a means of unsettling pervasive conceptions of identity at national, regional, and individual levels.

Gothic Utterance

Gothic Utterance

Jimmy Packham

University of Wales Press
2021
sidottu
The Gothic has always been interested in strange utterances and unsettling voices: from half-heard ghostly murmurings and the admonitions of the dead, to the terrible cries of the monstrous nonhuman. Gothic Utterance offers the first book-length study of the role such voices play in the Gothic tradition, exploring their prominence and importance in the American literature produced between the Revolutionary War and the close of the nineteenth century. This book argues that the American Gothic foregrounds the overpowering affect and distressing significations of the voices of the dead, dying, abjected, marginalised or nonhuman, in order to undertake a sustained interrogation of what it means to be and speak as an American in this period. The American Gothic imagines new forms of relation between speaking subjects, positing more inclusive and expansive forms of community. Gothic Utterance also emphasises the ethical demands attending our encounters with Gothic voices: the Gothic suggests that how we choose to hear and respond to these voices says much about our relationship with the world around us, its inhabitants - dead or otherwise - and the limits of our own subjectivity and empathy.

His family is moving to Brighton and he must start a new school with new teachers, new pupils and new everything!

In ihrer medienethisch ausgerichteten Analyse untersucht Shirin Packham die Rolle aktueller Kriegsfilme zu den Einsätzen im Irak und Afghanistan innerhalb des Kriegsfilmgenres. Die Autorin kombiniert historische Arbeiten zur Film-, Kino- und Fernsehlandschaft des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts mit medien- und filmanalytischen Betrachtungen von Dokumentarfilmen, Spielfilmen und digitalem Filmmaterial, um zu zeigen, wie die politischen Positionierungen des kommerziellen Kinos im jeweiligen Entstehungskontext zu begreifen sind.

Concentric Circles

Concentric Circles

Monte Packham

Steidl Verlag
2011
sidottu
“Gerhard’s like a Communist. You have to go into the salt mines with him. If you’re willing to go there then you’re like brothers in arms and he’ll do what needs be.” Robert Polidori In August 2008 Monte Packham began taking notes of events unfolding around him during a typical working day as an editor at Steidl Publishers. Until January 2009 he made such daily jottings, candid observations of the organised chaos that is book-making at Steidl. These notes form the basis of Concentric Circles, the first book to depict the eclectic personalities and experiences that shape Steidl. Here the reader discovers the secret processes and comic facets of life at the publishing house: Günter Grass tapping tobacco into his pipe while refining the typography of his latest book, Gerhard Steidl at a Chanel fashion show or unsuccessfully trying to repair his fax machine, Paul Graham pondering binding materials, the sudden halt of the printing press… The book is enriched by interviews with and original texts by some of Steidl’s most important collaborators including Robert Frank, Karl Lagerfeld, Lewis Baltz, Jim Dine, Roni Horn, Tacita Dean, David Bailey and William Eggleston. Concentric Circles is both an unconventional portrait of Steidl Publishers and a compelling insight into the craft of book-making today. Monte Packham is a writer and editor living in Göttingen, Germany. Born in 1981 in Sydney, he has bachelor degrees with honours in art history and law from the University of Sydney. Packham’s writing has been published in Art & Australia, sleek and Another Magazine among others. Since 2007 he has worked as an editor at Steidl.
