Synopsis

"Traditions of Lancashire (The Complete Two-Volume Edition)" by John Roby is a meticulous exploration of the rich cultural and social tapestry of Lancashire. Set against the backdrop of the 19th century, Roby employs a narrative style that seamlessly intertwines folklore, history, and local lore, creating a vivid portrayal of the region's traditional customs. This comprehensive work not only captures the essence of Lancashire's unique identity but also contributes to the broader discourse on regional studies and the preservation of oral history. Roby's thorough research illuminates the sociopolitical landscapes of his time, inviting readers to ponder the evolution of local traditions amidst the sweeping changes brought about by industrialization. John Roby, a 19th-century antiquarian and scholar, was deeply influenced by his love for Lancashire and its traditions, which he felt were underappreciated and at risk of being lost to modernization. His passion led him to collect and document the rich folklore and history of the region, providing an invaluable resource for understanding not just Lancashire, but the process of cultural change in Victorian England. Roby's work reflects his commitment to preserving the authenticity of local narratives, showcasing his dedication as a historian and storyteller. For readers intrigued by regional history, folklore, or the Victorian era, Roby's "Traditions of Lancashire" serves as an essential text. This extensive dual volume not only enriches our understanding of Lancashire's heritage but also invites readers to reconnect with the power of storytelling and its critical role in shaping community identity. It is a profound testament to the enduring strength of local traditions, making it a must-read for scholars and enthusiasts alike.

    The Forgotten Slave Trade - The...

    Everybody knows about the transatlantic slave trade. A century before Britain became involved in this terrible business, whole villages and towns in England, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and other European countries were being depopulated by slavers, who transported the men, women, and children to Africa where they were sold. This is the forgotten slave trade; one which saw over a million Christians forced into captivity in the Muslim world. 
     
     
     
    Starting with the practice of slavery in the ancient world, Simon Webb traces the history of slavery in Europe, showing that the numbers involved were vast and that the victims were often treated far more cruelly than black slaves in America and the Caribbean. Castration, used very occasionally against black slaves taken across the Atlantic, was routinely carried out on an industrial scale on European boys who were exported to Africa and the Middle East. Most people are aware that the English city of Bristol was a major center for the transatlantic slave trade in the eighteenth century, but hardly anyone knows that 1,000 years earlier it had been an important staging-post for the transfer of English slaves to Africa. 
     
     
     
    This book will forever change how you view the slave trade and show that many commonly held beliefs about this controversial subject are almost wholly inaccurate and mistaken.
