George Frampton's statue of Peter Pan, "erected in Hyde Park in 1912 ... immediately became a source of contention, sparking debate about the role of public statuary and its role in spaces of recreation." [90] Literature [ edit ] Shepherd actually started her career at Ally Pally as a waitress, but ended up performing her first (in 1904) and last (in 1912) balloon jumps here in the park at Alexandra Palace. Unlike many of her aerial pioneer friends, she survived this career and went on to serve in the first and second world wars as a driver and mechanic. She was a tour de force of a woman who knew no fear, and continues to be a huge inspiration to all who come across her story. The period featured many innovations. Ernest Rutherford published his studies on radioactivity. The first transatlantic wireless signals were sent by Guglielmo Marconi, and the Wright brothers flew for the first time.

The Labour Party was emerging from the rapidly growing trade union movement after 1890. In 1903 it entered the Gladstone–MacDonald pact with the Liberals, allowing for cross-party support in elections, and the emergence of a small Labour contingent in Parliament. It was a temporary arrangement until the 1920s, when the Labour Party was strong enough to act on its own, and the Liberals were in an irreversible decline. Subtle social changes in the working-class were producing a younger generation that wanted to act independently. [16] Delap, Lucy.

Bowman, Timothy, and Mark L. Connelly. The Edwardian Army: Recruiting, Training, and Deploying the British Army, 1902-1914 (Oxford University Press, 2012).This is a thoroughly charming and lovely diary, filled with gorgeous paintings and delightful observations of the English countryside around the turn of last century. So much of that world is gone forever, so this is a treasure. I adored the paintings and the bits of trivia about each month, and especially enjoyed the poetry, including my favorite bit of Burns - "To a Mouse" -- Wee, sleeket, cowran, tim’rous beastie, O, what a panic’s in thy breastie!
