Liverpool in its nineteenth- and twentieth-century heyday was a city unlike any other. Its praises sung by Herman Melville, Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne and others, it was the first place in Europe where the Chinese New Year was celebrated, the birthplace of shipping lines that pioneered the development of the multinational corporation and also - of course - of a band that changed musical history.Dockers and seafarers, merchants and shipowners - all of them formed and shaped by the unpredictability of maritime trade - created a city dependent on the sea that has long been one of the most cosmopolitan and culturally fertile in Europe. Liverpool's famously independent spirit expressed itself in the city's turbulent politics and almost every other aspect of urban life. With a high proportion of the male population away at sea at any given time, women played a much more important role than they did elsewhere, creating a culture quite unlike that of any other British city.This revised and updated e-book version of Tony Lane's highly praised Liverpool: City of the Sea takes the city's history into the twenty-first century, proving once again that Liverpool continues to inspire argument and passion like nowhere else.
