For much of the 20th century, Catholics in Ireland spent significant amounts of time engaged in religious activities. This book documents their experience in Limerick city between the 1920s and 1960s, exploring the connections between their experience and the wider culture of an expanding and modernising urban environment. De Cléir uses a combination of in-depth interviews and historical ethnographic sources to reconstruct the day-to-day religious experience of people living in Limerick city. Popular Catholicism in 20th-century Ireland presents a fascinating new perspective on 20thcentury Irish social and religious history.

Leisure, Voluntary Action and Social Change in Britain, 18801939 Robert Snape, University of Bolton, UK Adapted by adaptor
This volume documents the cultural shift from aristocratic charitable philanthropy to the social service of the masses, and it teases out the intellectual influences underpinning the movement from figures like Matthew Arnold, John Ruskin, and William Morris. Leisure, Snape claims, has been a central and poorly recognised organizing force in British communities, from its developments at the grassroots and neighbourhood level to its rise in social pillars like the YMCA & YWCA, Working-men's Clubs, and the National Council of Social Service.

Reflecting an interdisciplinary discussion between specialists from Canada, Brazil, Denmark and across the UK, this book offers a rare long-term perspective into the cosmopolitan and multilingual world of the foreign political press in London, with an emphasis on newspapers published in European languages. It furthers current research into political exile, the role of print culture and personal networks as intercultural agents and the dynamics of transnational political and cultural exchange in global capitals.

The British Welfare Revolution, 1906-14 John Cooper, The Royal Historical Society, UK Adapted by adaptor
The welfare revolution of the early 20th century did not start with Clement Attlee’s Labour governments of 1945 to 1951 but had its origins in the Liberal government of forty years earlier. The British Welfare Revolution offers a fresh perspective on the social reforms introduced by these Liberal governments in the years 1906 to 1914 that created the foundations of the Welfare State and transformed modern Britain. This innovative study is essential reading for scholars of 20th-century British political and social history.

This new edition brings David Williamson’s study fully up-to-date and now contains a greater coverage of social history, as well as maps, illustrations and a useful glossary. The book analyses the British presence in Germany from the armistice until the end of the Rhineland occupation in 1930, drawing widely on a range of primary sources to explore the problems facing British military and civil officials, their attitudes towards the Germans and their relations with their allies. The book also examines the everyday lives of the British people in Germany and their interactions with the Germans.
Sexual crime, past and present, has always been close to the headlines. How those crimes are punished, policed and treated by society, however, has changed radically over time. This book traces the evolution of medical interest in the mental state of those convicted of sexual crime over the course of the century. Using a range of under-utilized material, including medical and criminological texts, trial proceedings, government reports, newspapers, and autobiographies and memoirs, Janet Weston offers powerful insights into changing attitudes towards sexuality, crime, and normal and healthy sexual behaviour.
