Book Description
The story of Dundee is both fascinating and dramatic. Now, in Dundee - A Short History, Norman Watson brings to life the people and events that shaped this great city from its origins and early development, through centuries of poverty and prosperity, to the golden years of jute, jam and journalism and beyond. In this absorbing and comprehensive history meet the women who hijacked the Reformation, the sisters who terrorised Winston Churchill, the martyred George Wishart who kept only his hat, the whalerman James McIntosh who ate his to survive, and witness Shackleton's remarkable expedition to far-north Dundee and the flights of fancy surrounding Preston Watson. And as well as significant events like Monk's massacre and the Tay Bridge disaster, there are also controversial views about the very fabric of the city like what went wrong with the Waterfront, why was the old Overgate demolished and why is Tayside House still standing? Dundee - A Short History is a new and authoritative account of the remarkable story of one of our greatest cities.

Release : 2002
Category : Dundee (Scotland)
ISBN : 9781840332162
Book Description
This spectacular book combines a wonderful collection of images of Dundee with informative captions that really bring them to life. All corners of the city are covered, with many landmarks seen here intact before they were swept away during the various redevelopment schemes of the twentieth century. The Tay ferries are featured, as of course is an outline of Dundee's more general maritime history, including whaling. As you would expect, jute, jam and journalism are covered, but for many ordinary Dundonians the real interest will be in the views of their part of the city showing familiar streets and shops prior to redevelopment. Bill Early's wonderful collection of postcards of the city forms the bulk of the material illustrated, while he and Eric Eunson have collaborated to produce a narrative that will be of interest to both Dundonians and visitors to the city.

Book Description
This fascinating title traces the evolution of Dundee from wealthy renaissance port - and second city of Scotland - to international textiles manufacturer and trader. Until now, despite being at the heart of key events in Scottish history, Dundee has remained invisible behind its later Victorian mask. Now Dundee: Renaissance to Enlightenment examines Dundee thoroughly in a rich mixture of urban, economic, political, social, medical, cultural, imperial, maritime and architectural histories. The book contains over 100 illustrations, specially selected for this volume, many of which have never been seen before. These are integral to the story and are used to explain or illuminate history. This book helps to recover Dundee's rightful place in European history, and offers Scots a different perspective on their national history.
