Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - An arresting portrait of island life and landscape from the Victorian era. Discover islands framed by history.Edith F. Carey's The Channel Islands reads as a British travel guide and a finely observed Victorian nonfiction book: a work of regional British history that pairs practical attention to Channel Islands geography with vivid notices of local customs and culture. Part Jersey and Guernsey guide, part illustrated island history, it traces everyday routines, maritime practice and social ritual back into the larger currents of 19th century Britain. Practical detail and quiet reflection sit side by side. Readers learn how place shapes people. Carey's eye is practical and humane: she balances measured observation with anecdote, moving from topographical notes to market scenes, from maritime detail to parish life. That range makes the volume valuable both as a working Jersey and Guernsey guide for the curious traveller and as a primary source for those studying regional change. The prose is straightforward, the judgements clear; the book rewards sustained reading and casual dipping alike. As an example of Victorian travel literature it carries scholarly value without losing readability: travellers and historians will find material for research, while casual readers and classic-literature collectors can enjoy the book's period voice and observational charm. Its descriptions enrich our sense of Channel Islands heritage and of how regional life fitted into wider national stories. Its evidence often illuminates trade, language and seasonal labour across the islands. Suitable as an armchair explorers gift or a reference for field visits, the volume bridges tourism, local study and literary history - appealing equally to those seeking anecdote, topography or social context.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.…
