Book Description
For anyone interested in family history this book is a must read. Compiled by amateur historian David Wynne, who was inspired to research his own family history, this book begins with a brief history of the Welsh royal lineage in the period of the 1500s and 1600s, and then recounts in stunning detail the Wynne family descendants of Thomas and Sarah Wynn (born in the 1750s). The author details the lives of many families, including the Barwell and Shearman families, who were closely connected to the Wynne family. This book also gives the reader the context of the environments they lived in, with accounts of the political backdrop that influenced their lives. David Wynne has painstakingly researched all the facts for this book over the last eighteen years, and has included an incredible amount of detail about the lives of his ancestors. This book covers in some detail, the Wynne family and their involvement with shoe industry in Stafford during the 19th century and also discusses the great industrial firm Platt Brothers Ltd, cotton machinery makers in Oldham, Lancashire, with information on some of the directors and founders of this great firm, including Wynne family members. The book travels the globe, from the UK to British North Borneo, and to America, Australia and New Zealand. Many members of the Wynne family had a love of travel and a desire to move to, and settle in, distant lands. The lives of Wynne family members are recorded in detail right up to 2021. Family dramas and scandals are unearthed, such as the affair and high profile divorce of Eleanor Margaret Wynne in front of a grand jury, and the subsequent international media coverage that ensued. The book also includes accounts of famous family members, such as Frances Hodgson Burnett, granddaughter of Mary Wynne and author of many books including Little Lord Fauntleroy and The Secret Garden. The book is illustrated with an incredible array of images spanning the centuries, both from historical records, and from personal Wynne family photo collections.

Book Description
The world of Magnolia Le Guin, like that of countless farm women, was defined by and confined to home and family. Born in 1869 into the rural, white, agrarian society of Georgia's central piedmont, she raised eight children virtually on her own, yet never in her life ventured farther than thirty miles from her birthplace. Her situation, however extreme, was not unique in her day. What distinguished Le Guin was her love of writing, her need to write about being a wife and mother--despite a daunting workload and burden of responsibilities that left her with little free time or energy. In a plain, idiomatic style, these diaries detail some of the most trying, but nonetheless fulfilling, years of her life. At the same time, A Home-Concealed Woman (her own self-descriptive phrase) provides a firsthand view of the hardships of subsistence farming, the material culture of rural society, and the codes to which Le Guin as a white woman, a southerner, and an evangelical Christian adhered. The most striking feature of Le Guin's world is that it was confined almost entirely to the indoors, from the bedrooms where her children were born and where her parents lay ill and died to the stove room where the daily meals were cooked and cleared. Her husband's prominence in their small community and the size of their extended families meant that Le Guin hosted an endless flow of callers and overnight guests--more than one hundred in the summer of 1906 alone. Managing an already busy household under these conditions so occupied her time that she treasured every respite: "I was truly glad when I felt the sprinkling of the rain. I was so glad I couldn't content myself indoors washing dishes, sweeping floors, making beds, etc etc, so I just postponed those things and churning too awhile and betook myself out in the misty rain with a new brushbroom and swept a lot of this large yard and inhaled the sweet air scented with rain-settling dust." Less idyllic sentiments also fill Le Guin's diaries, for the anger and anxiety she could not publicly express found a voice in their pages: "I feel rebellious once in awhile at my lot--so much drudgery and so much company to cook for and in meantime my own affairs, my own children, my little baby--all going neglected." Though condescending outbursts about her hired help reveal Le Guin's racial attitudes, her endemic prejudice is tempered by her many expressions of genuine concern for individual blacks close to her family. As writer Ursula K. Le Guin suggests in her foreword, the diary may be the best suited literary form for approximating "the actual gait of people's lives." In Magnolia Le Guin's diary, prayerful entreaties for strength and guidance mingle with daily news about her family, providing a constant background against which major events such as births and deaths, holidays and harvests take place. The reader's admiration for Le Guin will grow as the details of her life emerge and accumulate.

Book Description
Fathers are often neglected in histories of family life in Britain. Family Men provides the first academic study of fathers and families in the period from the First World War to the end of the 1950s. It takes a thematic approach, examining different aspects of fatherhood, from the duties it encompassed to the ways in which it related to men's identities. The historical approach is socio-cultural: each chapter examines a wide range of historical source materials in order to analyse both cultural representations of fatherhood and related social norms, as well as exploring the practices and experiences of individuals and families. It uncovers the debates surrounding parenting and family life and tells the stories of men and their children. While many historians have examined men's relationship to the home and family in histories of gender, family life, domestic spaces, and class cultures more generally, few have specifically examined fathers as crucial family members, as historical actors, and as emotional individuals. The history of fatherhood is extremely significant to contemporary debate: assumptions about fatherhood in the past are constantly used to support arguments about the state of fatherhood today and the need for change or otherwise in the future. Laura King charts men's changing experiences of fatherhood, suggesting that although the roles and responsibilities fulfilled by men did not shift rapidly, their relationships, position in the family, and identities underwent significant change between the start of the First World War and the 1960s.
