200631209Woodbridge Suffolk: D.S.Brewer 2006 Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st UK Edition. Chaucer Studies Vol XXXVII Literature of the city and the city in literature are topics of major contemporary interest. This volume enhances our understanding of Chaucer's iconic role as a London poet defining the modern sense of London as a city in history steeped in its medieval past. Building on recent work by historians on medieval London as well as modern urban theory the essays address the centrality of the city in Chaucer's work and of Chaucer to a literature and a language of the city. Contributors explore the spatial extent of the city imaginatively and geographically; the diverse and sometimes violent relationships between communities and the use of language to identify and speak for communities; the worlds of commerce the aristocracy law and public order. A final section considers the longer history and memory of the medieval city beyond the devastations of the Great Fire and into the Victorian period. 231p. ibliography index. D.S.Brewer hardcover

190522629<p>Manuscript record of Chinese immigrant workers in the Rose Deep Gold Mine near Johannesburg 996 pages large 4to.; original half leather binding title in gilt on upper cover. The manuscript chronicles the service of 874 Chinese immigrants dating from February 1905 to January 1908. Each miner has a full page listing: registration number name and surname amount earned moneys advanced remittance to China number of shifts worked number of working shifts in month leave sickness accidents desertion unlawful absence deaths repatriation total shifts lost and remarks as to conduct and character. After the Anglo-Boer War production on the gold mines of the Witwatersrand was very low due to a lack of labour. The British government was eager to get these mines back working as quickly as possible as part of their overall effort to rebuild the economy. Much of the local labour had returned to farming and the Governor Lord Milner reluctantly agreed with the assent of the British government to import Chinese coolies each on a three-year contract that terminated with compulsory repatriation. The mines had become unpopular with Africans due to attempts to reduce wages in order to maximise profits. Some mines experimented using whites as unskilled labour but these experiments were unsuccessful as they tended to demand higher wages. On the 19th of June 1904 the first Chinese labourers thus arrived at the Witwatersrand. Between 1904 and 1910 there were almost 64000 Chinese working on the Witwatersrand gold mines near Johannesburg. Most of these contractors were recruited from the Chinese provinces of Zhili Shandong and Henan. This measure was very successful in increasing the production of gold from mining but in the long run it faced stiff resistance from white labour that considered the Chinese unfair competition in terms of skilled and semi-skilled jobs. Chinese labour in the South African Mines met appallingly dangerous condition a lack of sanitation good food and welfare. Herbert Hoover who would become the 31st U.S. president was a director of Chinese Engineering and Mining Corporation CEMC when it became a supplier of coolie labour to South African mines. The first shipment of 2000 Chinese workers arrived in Durban from Qinhuangdao in July 1904. Almost all the Chinese labour was entirely recruited and shipped by CEMC. When the living and working conditions of the labourers became known public opposition to the scheme grew and questions were asked in the British Parliament. The scheme was abandoned in 1911. The mass importation of Chinese to work on the gold mines contributed to the fall from power of the Conservative government in the Britain. However it did stimulate to the economic recovery of South Africa after the Anglo-Boer War by once again making the mines of the Witwatersrand the most productive gold mines in the world. Little is known about the lives of the Chinese men who actually worked in the Witwatersrand gold mines and this is a rare document which sheds light on this largely forgotten page in Imperial history.
