Whitehall Palace in central London, at one time Europe's largest royal residence, has been at the centre of some of the most momentous events in England's history, from the execution of Charles I and the establishment of the Commonwealth to the Glorious Revolution and the succession to the throne of William III and Mary II. All that remains of the palace today, however, is Inigo Jones's magnificent Banqueting House, the majority of the complex having succumbed to a devastating fire in 1698. Beginning in the Middle Ages with Whitehall's origins as the home of the Archbishop of York and covering every stage of its gradual transformation into a palace fit for the royal household, Whitehall Palace is the story of a remarkable building.
This edition investigates fascist activities in the period of turmoil leading to World War II and raises disturbing questions: how far was the British establishment involved? What were the links with Nazi Germany? What were the plans for the future of British Jews? How much did the British secret service know? Despite the revelation of the horrors of Nazi Germany, British Fascism survived 1945. The author discusses the organization, aims and techniques behind British Fascism, including the formation of the National Front. This revised text analyzes the period from 1984 to the present day, including the effect of the end of the Cold War and the collapse of Communism in Russia and Europe, the disturbing growth of illiberal nationalism and the growth of neo-fascism, anti-Semitism and racialism.
Collectors Randy and Kelly Schrimsher began collecting American Classical decorative art in the late 1980s. Their notable collection now comprises over 100 pieces of furniture by some of the most celebrated cabinetmakers from across 5 key centers of Classical furniture production that emerged in the United States at the end of the eighteenth century: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, DC, with works by Duncan Phyfe, Charles-Honore Lannuier, Isaac Vose, William Hancock, the Finley Brothers, Anthony Quervelle, and Joseph Barry. It is this exploration of "the inter-city connections" through a series of thematic essays, case studies, and accompanying illustrated catalogue entries by heralded furniture historians, that set this new volume apart. Wonderful examples of objects by all these makers and their shops are explored by city to illustrate regional varieties and workshop collaborations. In addition to the 100 full-page colour illustrations of different pieces of furniture from the Schrimsher Collection across the main production cities, the book features nearly 90 additional comparative illustrations covering pattern books, designs, prints and historic views, plus photos of chair legs, supports, capitols, gilding, and a pictorial glossary. Arranged across approximately 4-5 appendices, this provides an important source of new information for scholars.
