Paperback. Zustand: New. As she awaits her execution at Oxford Castle, a newly wed woman from a God-fearing family, convicted for murdering her housemaid, is pardoned at the last minute by King George II. A butcher suddenly disappears and changes his identity after the tragic death of his young wife. A picture-frame maker from humble origins becomes 'the richest man in Oxford' and is at ease socialising with the luminaries of the Victorian art world. And a lovestruck local member of parliament with a serious gambling addiction dies in suspicious circumstances. These are some of the stories of individuals connected with the land and property on Middle Way in Summertown, Oxford, where the author now lives. The book presents an alternative history of Oxford and explores how Summertown evolved from being primarily an artisans' village to becoming a well-heeled suburb of Oxford. Extensively referenced and using archival sources and interviews, a voice is also given to the living relatives of people connected with the land and property on Middle Way.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Through the lens of an extraordinary family, a number of fascinating stories relating to the wider tumult of late nineteenth-century Europe are revealed in this book. Playing an instrumental role in the Ottoman Empire, the story of the Robinsons is a rags-to-riches tale that stretches from the tenant farms of Lincolnshire to the palaces of Constantinople.Based on extensive archival research, newspaper records, correspondence and interviews, author Gareth Winrow follows the various narratives of a unique family. Originally Lincolnshire tenant farmers, the lives of the Robinsons are traced from the tea estates of Darjeeling to the banks of the Bosphorus, the streets of New York, and Wilhelmine Germany.There is political intrigue and rumours of suspected espionage as the Robinsons rub shoulders with royalty and leading personalities of the day. Along with the fundamental issue of identity, significant broader political, social and economic themes of fin-de-siecle Europe are also explored. The Robinsons were witnesses to and participants in the upheavals and wars of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They mingled with unsavoury characters such as 'Dr Gholab Shah', a supposed Afghan warlord who was regarded by the British authorities as a charlatan and an inveterate abuser of women. Better-known figures like Abdullah Quilliam, who established one of the first mosques in Victorian England, need re-evaluating in the light of their contacts with the Robinsons.As we follow the whispers of the Robinson family, amid the cacophony of world events, a series of fascinating stories begins to unfold.
