Charity, Piety and Commerce: Liverpool's Bluecoat School and pragmatic politeness in the first half of the 18th Century

这种学生关系建立在Bluecoat和利物浦大学历史系之间的联系之上，可以追溯到一个多世纪。Bluecoat -致力于1717年作为Blue Coat慈善学校，并在20世纪初转变为英国第一个艺术中心-是为数不多的幸存建筑之一，可以追溯到利物浦18世纪初的商业扩张，反映了该镇日益增长的自信心和商业精英的公民意识。该奖学金将使用Blue Coat学校的记录，有影响力的捐助者的论文，以及教会和公司的来源，重新审视18世纪上半年的建筑历史，并在慈善，虔诚和商业的新兴城市网络中重新定位，这些网络将礼貌置于务实的目的。这个应用程序通常指的是作为一个单一的词建设- '蓝外套' -使用时，蓝外套学校搬到更大的郊区的处所在1906年。

This studentship builds upon connections between Bluecoat and the Department of History at the University of Liverpool that date back more than a century. Bluecoat - dedicated in 1717 as the Blue Coat Charity School and, transformed in the early 20C as the UK's first arts centre - is one of the few surviving buildings dating to Liverpool's early 18C commercial expansion and reflects the town's growing self-confidence and the civicmindedness of its mercantile elite. The studentship will use the records of the Blue Coat School, the papers of influential donors, and church and Corporation sources to revisit the history of the building in the first half of the 18C and situate it in emergent urban networks of charity, piety and commerce that put politeness to pragmatic ends. This application generally refers to the building as a single word - 'Bluecoat' - usage adopted when the Blue Coat School moved to larger suburban premises in 1906.
