Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. By the late eighteenth century, many people had designated leisure time. The appetite for novelty in popular entertainment became insatiable. The hero of this story is Marsden Haddock, who devised an exhibition of mechanical ingenuity, the Androides. Haddock's spectacle originated in Cork in 1794, from where he then toured through the English-speaking Atlantic world (a reversal of the usual trend) with considerable success for many years. The word Androide became synonymous with his devices. In probing the penumbra between man and machine, between the animate and the inanimate, Haddock's lifelike automata and other figures provoked wonder and often fear. A singular character, Haddock was distinguished by ingenuity, versatility and, in the face of recurrent setbacks, resilience. This volume positions him and his entertainment as products of the booming war-economy of Cork city, and uses its ready reception as an illustration of the integration of urban Cork into the wider world.

From the publisher's blurb, "In Ireland, in 1820, the surgical management of children with bladder stones in the South Infirmary was criticized by a prominent Cork surgeon, giving rise to a furious and bitter dispute. This book considers the acrimonious episode by examining the backgrounds of the protagonists, the economic and other tensions active in the medical profession of the time, and, in particular, the dynamics of how power was exercised in provincial Cork of the early 19th century. After the turbulent 1790s and the brutal suppression of the rebellion, the Act of Union and the failure to grant Catholic Emancipation ensured that rancor and upheaval continued into the new century. Cork as elsewhere was riven by sectarian and political conflict. Despite an economically resurgent Catholic mercantile class, a dominant elite, small in number, centered on the corporation, had a monopoly of local power, prestige, and patronage. These partisan divisions were also reflected in the medical profession. Often, the fault-lines exposed by such quarrels provide insights into a society that may not otherwise apparent."Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.
