1978Examination of the historical evidence for the allegation that Richard III murdered his nephews. The book does not maintain that Richard III was innocent of the murders, but sees the present cult of him as a reaction against genuine injustice to his memory: the treating of circumstantial evidence against him as if it were direct evidence,and the loading of his reputation with other crimes he did not commit 237p. bibliography.iunxdex Book
2014The essays in Ruin link meditations on teaching, friendship, motherhood, love, the financial meltdown in Greece, the shared language of politics and advertising, Occupy Wall Street, and the Parthenon Marbles into a relentless interrogation of identity and loss. Kalfopoulou's Athens and New York are twinned sites of perpetual dislocation, palimpsests of political, economic, cultural-and personal-crisis. The refugee, the immigrant, the fragmented 'I' charted in these essays-all are studies in exilic living, pilgrims wandering the wreckage of late capitalism.179p. bibliography Book

1977The Travellers, from those living in bow-tents and horse-drawn caravans to those dwelling in motor caravans and permanent homes, are an important source of traditional music. Their society means that songs that have died out in more settled communities are preserved among them. Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger, widely known as two of the founding singers of the British and American folk revivals, here display a vast fund of folklore scholarship around the songs of British travelling people. Resulting from extensive collecting in southern and southeastern England and central and northeastern Scotland in the 1960s and 70s, this book contains 130 songs with music and comprehensive notes relating them to folkloristic and historical points of interest. It includes traditional ballads and ballads of broadside origin, bawdy, tragic and humorous songs about love, work and death. Most are in English or in Scots dialect with four in Anglo-Romani.387p. bibliography.index Book

2011We may well be 'a nation of shopkeepers', but for generations England was a country dominated by its middling families, rooted on their land, in their locality, with a healthy interest in turning a profit from their property and a deep distrust of the centralised state. The virtues we may all believe to be part of the English culture, honesty, affability, courtesy, liberality, each of these has their source in gentry life cultivated over five hundred years. These folk were the backbone of England. This book concentrates on fourteen families with a time span from 1400 to the present day. From the medieval gung ho of the Plumpton family to the high seas adventures of the Lascelles in the 18th century, to more modern examples, the book provides a chronological picture of the English, seen through these intimate, passionate, powerful stories of family saga. The families have been selected from all over the country and range from the famous to the unknown. Some families are divided by politics , such as the family that took different sides in the Reformation; others destroy their inheritance through reckless gambling or investments . All of them are vivid depictions of the life and code of the gentry, and have left deep archives of family papers which the author has been able to use, often for the very first time. 460p. notes index Book
