Synopsis

In "An Old English Home and Its Dependencies," S. Baring-Gould offers an evocative exploration of the intricacies of English domestic life as it existed in the 19th century. Through meticulous descriptions and rich narrative detail, Baring-Gould captures the architecture and ambiance of traditional English homes, meticulously addressing their socio-cultural importance. His literary style merges romanticism with realism, utilizing vivid imagery and a reflective tone that creates a palpable sense of nostalgia, while also engaging with contemporary issues of social class and the evolution of domestic spaces in Victorian England. S. Baring-Gould (1834-1924) was a multifaceted figure—an author, antiquarian, and folklorist whose diverse interests undoubtedly shaped his literary pursuits. His deep appreciation for English history and culture is reflected throughout this work, as he draws on his extensive research and personal observations. Growing up in a family steeped in tradition, he was keenly aware of the shifting landscapes within English society, which propelled him to document and preserve the narratives tied to domesticity and familial structures during a time of rapid change. I highly recommend "An Old English Home and Its Dependencies" to readers interested in historical literature, architecture, and social history. Baring-Gould's rich prose and insightful observations provide not only a glimpse into the past but also prompt reflection on the values and complexities inherent in our own homes today.

  • In Fraud We Trust - How Leaders in Politics Business and Media Profit from Lies―and How to Stop Them - cover

    In Fraud We Trust - How Leaders...

    Wes Henricksen

    Telling lies, and falling for them, is one of the things that makes us human. But when someone deceives another for material gain or profit, inflicting injury in the process, we give this kind of lie a special label: fraud. 
     
     
     
    Most people are familiar with the concept and understand that fraud is prohibited by law. What many fail to appreciate, however, is that the law does not treat all frauds equally. In a perverse sense, the bigger the fraud, the more likely it is protected by the First Amendment and therefore legal. 
     
     
     
    Examples of fraud on the public are everywhere. Politicians on both sides of the aisle lie with such regularity that people have become deeply cynical about whether to believe anything they say. Henricksen shows that large-scale fraud is carried out for many reasons beyond financial profit, including political gain, the prevention of justice, and the falsification of history. 
     
     
     
    In addition to exposing the depths of the problem, Henricksen gives listeners a way forward. By revealing for the first time the root legal cause of the misinformation crisis and presenting novel solutions, In Fraud We Trust speaks to the present moment as it offers answers for the future.
