Excerpt from Records of the Chicheley Plowdens, A. D. 1590-1913: With Four Alphabetical Indices, Four Pedigree Sheets, and a Portrait of Edmund, the Great Elizabethan Lawyer There are many oil paintings of great merit in Plowden Hall, chie y portraits of members of the family by various eminent artists. In the chapel is a portrait of St Francis of Assisi, attributed to Michelangelo; and there are three portraits by Sir Peter Lely, one by Van Dyck, and another by Angelica Kauffmann; and several beautiful miniatures. The Plowden estate in Shropshire is very greatly woodland, and Plowden Wood in particular is very large, a six-mile walk round, and has much wild game in it. The Records of the Plowden Family by Barbara M. Plowden, contains the history of the elder branch, and much of the above has been extracted from it, with the kind permission of the present squire. The present work, there fore, only aims at giving concisely the leading facts connected with the elder branch in the form of an alphabetical index brought up to date.

Based on a vast, virtually unstudied archive of Indian writings alongside visual sources, this book presents the first history of music and musicians in late Mughal India c.1748–1858 and takes the lives of nine musicians as entry points into six prominent types of writing on music in Persian, Brajbhasha, Urdu and English, moving from Delhi to Lucknow, Hyderabad, Jaipur and among the British. It shows how a key Mughal cultural field responded to the political, economic and social upheaval of the transition to British rule, while addressing a central philosophical question: can we ever recapture the ephemeral experience of music once the performance is over? These rich, diverse sources shine new light on the wider historical processes of this pivotal transitional period, and provide a new history of music, musicians and their audiences during the precise period in which North Indian classical music coalesced in its modern form.

'Extraordinary and thrilling ... This story should be known to every man, woman and child' - Lemn Sissay In 1868, British troops charged into the mountain empire of Ethiopia, stormed the citadel of its monarch Tewodros II and grabbed piles of his treasures and sacred manuscripts. They also took his son – six-year-old Prince Alamayu – and brought the boy back with them to the cold shores of England. For the first time, Andrew Heavens tells the whole story of Alamayu, from his early days in his father's fortress on the roof of Africa to his new home across the seas, where he charmed Queen Victoria, chatted with Lord Tennyson and travelled with his towering red-headed guardian Captain Speedy. The orphan prince was celebrated but stereotyped and never allowed to go home. The book also follows the loot – Ethiopia's 'Elgin Marbles' – and tracks it down to its current hiding places in bank vaults, museum store cupboards and a boarded-up cavity in Westminster Abbey. A story of adventure, trauma and tragedy, The Prince and the Plunder is also a tale for our times, as we re-examine Britain's past, pull down statues of imperial grandees and look for other figures to commemorate and celebrate in their place.

In this imaginative book, Maya Jasanoff uncovers the extraordinary stories of collectors who lived on the frontiers of the British Empire in India and Egypt, tracing their exploits to tell an intimate history of imperialism. Jasanoff delves beneath the grand narratives of power, exploitation, and resistance to look at the British Empire through the eyes of the people caught up in it. Written and researched on four continents, Edge of Empire enters a world where people lived, loved, mingled, and identified with one another in ways richer and more complex than previous accounts have led us to believe were possible. And as this book demonstrates, traces of that world remain tangible—and topical—today. An innovative, persuasive, and provocative work of history.
