Описание: From the early years of the nineteenth century, cultural pessimists imagined in fiction the political forces that might bring about the destruction of London. Periods of popular protest or radicalism have generated novels that consider the methods insurgents might use to terrorise the metropolis. There has been a tendency to dismiss such writings as the lurid imaginings of pulp novelists but this book re-evaluates the contribution of popular fiction to the construction of the terrorist threat. It analyses the high-points for the production of such works, and locates them in their cultural and historical context. From the 1840s, when a fear of Chartist insurgency was paramount in the minds of authors, it moves through the anarchist thrillers of the 1890s, considers writers' fears about Bolshevik revolution in the East End of the 1920s and 1930s, explores fears of Fascism in the inter-war years, and assesses the concerns with underground counter-culture that feature in the thriller literature of the 1970s. It concludes with a re-evaluation of the metropolitan background to the figure of the Islamist terrorist.

Автор: Smith Vernon Название: London`s West End Buses in the 1980s ISBN: 144567680X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781445676807 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 22950.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: London's West End Buses in the 1980s looks at London's buses in and around the West End during a time of great change. Bus routes were put out to competitive tendering, garages closed, the Routemaster started its slow decline, Aldenham Bus Overhaul Works closed, and by 1989 the once mighty London Transport itself was being divided into separate business units, ready for eventual privatisation. This was the decade when Grey-Green won the first tendered central London route from London Buses, and grey-and-green buses could soon be seen passing the Houses of Parliament; green or blue buses started crossing Waterloo Bridge, and minibuses appeared on new route C1 in Victoria. London sightseeing was also changing, with operators large and small operating anything from Routemasters and DMSs to the odd Bristol VRT Vernon Smith was working in the West End and was a regular traveller on the buses during this time, and uses his collection of photographs from within the area roughly bounded by the City, Aldwych, Westminster, Victoria, Marble Arch and Euston to show the changes, and the many colourful and varied buses to be found working in London at that time.
