Description: A new edition as part of the Faber Greatest Hits - books that have taken writing about music in new and exciting directions for the twenty-first century. In his critically acclaimed book, In the Country of Country, Nicholas Dawidoff travels to the origins of country music and talks to the musicians who created this original American art form. Here, amongst others, are indelible portraits of Johnny Cash, behind whose black apparel lies a Faustian dilemma; Merle Haggard, a man as elusive as he is gifted; and Patsy Cline, a lonely figure striding out bravely in a male-dominated world. An exhilarating journey from Maces Springs, Virginia to Bakersfield, California, In the Country of Country conveys the spirit and passion that informs country music and confirms Dawidoff's reputation as one of the most gifted cultural commentators of his generation.

  Waterstones How the Country House Became English

  Price: £25.00

  Brand: Waterstones

   

  Description

  Description: Country houses have come to be regarded as quintessentially English, not only in terms of their architectural style but because they appear to embody national values of continuity and insularity. The histories of country houses and England, however, have featured episodes of violence and disruption, so how did country houses come to represent one version of English history, when in reality they reflect its full range of contradictions and complexities? This book explores the evolution of the country house, beginning with the violent impact of the Reformation and Civil War and showing how the political events of the eighteenth century, which culminated in the reaction against the French Revolution, led to country houses being recast as symbols of England's political stability.

  Waterstones Black Country Chronicles

  Price: £9.99

  Brand: Waterstones

   

  Description

  Description: Black Country Chronicles is a fascinating and multi-faceted narrative of twentieth-century life in the Black Country. Tom Larkin and other members of the Black Country Memories Club have long been determined that the way of life, sacrifices and hardships, and daily activities should not be allowed to be forgotten, and this book achieves their aim. Tom Larkin looks at the Black Country from the working-class point of view and records the significant contribution which these people made to the economic stability of the country as a whole. He neither romanticises nor exaggerates working-class life at this time, but faithfully brings to the fore the harsh living conditions, bad housing, polluted environment, low standards of hygiene and tough discipline which dominated people's lives. This will provide a fascinating insight into the Black Country of yesteryear and a valuable record of the reality of life for generations to come.
