  • The Patients of the Bristol Lunatic Asylum in the Nineteenth Century 1861-1900
    THE PATIENTS OF THE BRISTOL LUNATIC ASYLUM IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY 1861-1900 PAUL TOBIA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries and Education March 2017 Word Count 76,717 1 Abstract There is a wide and impressive historiography about the British lunatic asylums in the nineteenth century, the vast majority of which are concerned with their nature and significance. This study does not ignore such subjects but is primarily concerned with the patients of the Bristol Asylum. Who were they, what were their stories and how did they fare in the Asylum and how did that change over our period. It uses a distinct and varied methodology including a comprehensive database, compiled from the asylum records, of all the patients admitted in the nineteenth century. Using pivot tables to analyse the data we were able to produce reliable assessments of the range and nature of the patients admitted; dispelling some of the suggestions that they represented an underclass. We were also able to determine in what way the asylum changed and how the different medical superintendents altered the nature and ethos of the asylum. One of these results showed how the different superintendents had massively different diagnostic criteria. This effected the lives of the patients and illustrates the somewhat random nature of Victorian psychiatric diagnostics. The database was also the starting point for our research into the patients as individuals. Many aspects of life in the asylum can best be understood by looking at individual cases.

  • "She Is Lost to Time and Place": Women, War Trauma, and the First World War
    “She is Lost to Time and Place”: Women, War Trauma, and the First World War A dissertation presented by Bridget E. Keown to The Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the field of History Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April 2019 1 “She is Lost to Time and Place”: Women, War Trauma, and the First World War A dissertation presented by Bridget E. Keown Abstract of Dissertation Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April 2019 2 Abstract This work investigates the gendered construction of war trauma during the First World War, and seeks to reclaim the experiences of those whose suffering was not included in established diagnoses and definitions. Specifically, I analyze British and Irish women’s testimonies and expressions of trauma as a result of their experiences during the First World War, and the manner in which their suffering was interpreted and treated by medical and military professionals. I conclude by discussing how women’s individual emotional suffering has been marginalized and forgotten in the history of the First World War. In my Introduction, I discuss the lack of data into women’s lived experiences and emotions during the First World War and up to the present day. This lack of awareness continues to harm women physically and psychologically. My first chapter looks at the origins of the modern study of trauma during the outbreak of the First World War.

  • “He Hath Mingled with the Ungodly”
    ―HE HATH MINGLED WITH THE UNGODLY‖: THE LIFE OF SIMEON SOLOMON AFTER 1873, WITH A SURVEY OF THE EXTANT WORKS CAROLYN CONROY TWO VOLUMES VOLUME I PH.D. THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART DECEMBER 2009 2 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the life and work of the marginalized British Pre-Raphaelite and Aesthetic homosexual Jewish painter Simeon Solomon (1840-1905) after 1873.This year was fundamental in the artist‘s professional and personal life, because it is the year that he was arrested for attempted sodomy charges in London. The popular view that has been disseminated by the early historiography of Solomon, since before and after his death in 1905, has been to claim that, after this date, the artist led a life that was worthless, both personally and artistically. It has also asserted that this situation was self-inflicted, and that, despite the consistent efforts of his family and friends to return him to the conventions of Victorian middle-class life, he resisted, and that, this resistant was evidence of his ‗deviancy‘. Indeed, for over sixty years, the overall effect of this early historiography has been to defame the character of Solomon and reduce his importance within the Aesthetic movement and the second wave of Pre-Raphaelitism. It has also had the effect of relegating the work that he produced after 1873 to either virtual obscurity or critical censure. In fact, it is only recently that a revival of interest in the artist has gained momentum, although the latter part of his life from 1873 has still remained under- researched and unrecorded.

  • The Story of Nursing in British Mental Hospitals
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 12:59 29 November 2016 The Story of Nursing in British Mental Hospitals From their beginnings as the asylum attendants of the nineteenth century, mental health nurses have come a long way. This is the first comprehensive history of mental health nursing in Britain in over twenty years, and during this period the landscape has transformed as the large institutions have been replaced by services in the community. McCrae and Nolan examine how the role of mental health nursing has evolved in a social and professional context, brought to life by an abundance of anecdotal accounts. The nine chronologically ordered chapters follow the development from untrained attendants in the pauper lunatic asylums to the professionally qualified nurses of the twentieth century, and, finally, consider the rundown and closure of the mental hospitals from nurses’ perspectives. Throughout, the argument is made that while the training, organisation and environment of mental health nursing has changed, the aim has remained essentially the same: to nurture a therapeutic relationship with people in distress. McCrae and Nolan look forward as well as back, and highlight significant messages for the future of mental health care. For mental health nursing to be meaningfully directed, we must first understand the place from which this field has developed. This scholarly but accessible book is aimed at anyone with an interest in mental health or social history, and will also act as a useful resource for policy- makers, managers and mental health workers. Niall McCrae is a lecturer in mental health nursing at Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery, King’s College London.

  • Friern Barnet Newsletter
    NORTHMET AT NEW SOUTHGATE by David Berguer I had often been puzzled by the reference in Kelly’s Directory of Finchley & Friern Barnet to “North Metropolitan Electric Power Supply Co (Outside Dept.)” at numbers 13 and 15 Friern Barnet Road. What was an Outside Dept.? I was browsing through a copy of one of the books in our archives when all became clear. In Northmet by N C Friswell, the author, who worked there for twenty years, explained what it was all about: “The Meter Testing Laboratories (MTL) was on the New Southgate site. Previously in the basement of 15 Friern Barnet Road, a Victorian company- owned house, a new test station was erected at the rear in 1926. In 1937 a major rebuilding took place. No 15 was replaced by a new three storey building specially constructed to provide a facility which would comply with the new Electricity Supply (Meters) Act 1936. There were test rooms on the ground floor and a standards laboratory and workshops on the first floor. The clerical and administrative offices were at the front of the building. Meters were returned from the District undertakings to MTL when their certification expired after 5 years (initially, as this was later extended to 25 years). They were cleaned and repaired as necessary before being tested in accordance with the legislation. At times MTL was severely stretched, for example on the occasion of the East Coast floods of 1953. Meters had to be found for whole areas which had suffered flood damage and MTL had to institute overtime and weekend working.

  • Parish of Friern Barnet Graves and Memorials of the First World
    Parish of Friern Barnet St John the Evangelist and St James the Great Graves and Memorials of the First World War St John’s Church, c 1920 Contents Page Introduction 1 First World War Memorial 2 Memorials within the churches 3 First World War graves in Friern Barnet churchyard 4 Other graves with inscription commemorating war dead 6 Brief biographies 8 Roll of Honour 25 ______________________________________________________________________ Parish of Friern Barnet Parish Office, St John’s Parish Centre, Friern Barnet Road, N11 3BS Introduction The church of St James the Great, probably dating from the 12th century, but rebuilt and enlarged in the 19th, was the original parish church of Friern Barnet. It stands in the parish churchyard in Friern Barnet Lane. As the population grew in the 19th and 20th centuries, new parishes were created: All Saints’ from the northern portion of the parish, St Peter-le-Poer to the south. The church of St John the Evangelist in Friern Barnet Road, completed in 1910, was built as a chapel-of-ease to St James’s, to serve what had become the main centre of population of the parish, near the Colney Hatch Asylum (later Friern Hospital) and the railway station. To make full use of the two church buildings, since 2009 St James’s Church has become the place of worship for the Greek Orthodox Community of St Katherine, with Church of England services taking place in St John’s. In 2011 St John’s was re- designated as the parish church. The Parish First World War memorial, situated in the churchyard, commemorates the eighty-five men and two women, who had lived in the parish or worshipped here, who died as a result of war service.

It will publish works that engage actively with contemporary debates related to mental health and, as such, will be of interest not only to historians, but also mental health professionals, patients and policy makers. With its focus on mental health, rather than just psychiatry, the series will endeavour to provide more patient-centred histories. Although this has long been an aim of health historians, it has not been realised, and this series aims to change that. The scope of the series is kept as broad as possible to attract good quality proposals about all aspects of the history of mental health from all periods. The series emphasises interdisciplinary approaches to the field of study, and encourages short titles, longer works, collections, and titles which stretch the boundaries of academic publishing in new ways.
