Kirsten Kearney Submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy School of Languages, Cultures and Religions • German University of Stirling January 2007 CH •X ANG DF E P w Click to buy NOW! w m o w c .d k. ocu•trac ii Abstract This thesis focuses on the importance of the ballad in constructing national identity in Germany during the 20th century from 1918•1978. It presents a comparative approach using Scotland as a comparator, based on three significant time periods throughout the century: the Weimar Republic, the Nazi era and the German folk revival. In each of these eras the issue of national awareness was most in evidence and national identity was being created or was a particular object of tension. The modern Scottish literary renaissance and the Scottish folk revival will be used for comparative purposes. The comparative approach will also aid a deeper understanding of the concept of national identity itself. The hypothesis is that the ballad has contributed to the development of national identity in specific and differing ways in the two countries. Selected artists; poets, singers and Liedermacher have been chosen as representatives for each particular stage. The ballad in the 20th century has previously received little critical attention, thus this period has been chosen as the time frame of the thesis in an attempt to redress this balance and create new knowledge.

In this letter, the relevant Season to which this letter primarily relates is Season 2018/2019 although some of the information updates on matters which may require attention during Season 2017/2018. Copies of the Articles of the Company and the Rules and Regulations of the SPFL are available on the SPFL website at https://spfl.co.uk/spfl/. Capitalised words and phrases defined in the Articles and Rules have the same meanings in this letter. Changes from Season 2016/2017 For the first time in Scottish domestic football a system of Financial Fair Play has been introduced. New Rules (see Rule E31.7) were passed at the SPFL AGM on 24 July 2017 with the effect that, as at 31 March in each year, Clubs are under an obligation to certify that they had no overdue payables as regards other football clubs, football authorities (primarily SPFL and Scottish FA), overdue payments to players and coaching staff (primarily remuneration) and no overdue sums in relation to employment taxes.
