  • Wealthy Business Families in Glasgow and Liverpool, 1870-1930 a DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY In Trade: Wealthy Business Families in Glasgow and Liverpool, 1870-1930 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of History By Emma Goldsmith EVANSTON, ILLINOIS December 2017 2 Abstract This dissertation provides an account of the richest people in Glasgow and Liverpool at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. It focuses on those in shipping, trade, and shipbuilding, who had global interests and amassed large fortunes. It examines the transition away from family business as managers took over, family successions altered, office spaces changed, and new business trips took hold. At the same time, the family itself underwent a shift away from endogamy as young people, particularly women, rebelled against the old way of arranging marriages. This dissertation addresses questions about gentrification, suburbanization, and the decline of civic leadership. It challenges the notion that businessmen aspired to become aristocrats. It follows family businessmen through the First World War, which upset their notions of efficiency, businesslike behaviour, and free trade, to the painful interwar years. This group, once proud leaders of Liverpool and Glasgow, assimilated into the national upper-middle class. This dissertation is rooted in the family papers left behind by these families, and follows their experiences of these turbulent and eventful years. 3 Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the advising of Deborah Cohen. Her inexhaustible willingness to comment on my writing and improve my ideas has shaped every part of this dissertation, and I owe her many thanks.

  • "A Press with Such Traditions": Oxford University Press of Canada Ruth
    "A Press with Such Traditions": Oxford University Press of Canada Ruth Panofsky' On Tuesday, 10 August 1904, when Oxford University Press established a branch in Canada,2 it joined a small but significant group of publishing houses already operating in Toronto. By the turn of the century, Toronto had become a centre for Canada's burgeoning publishing industry, home to the Copp Clark Company, W.J. Gage and Company, and the Methodist Book and Publishing House (later Ryerson Press), for example. When Oxford University Press set up shop on "Booksellers' Row"3 at Zy Richmond Street West, the company sought to consolidate its presence in the small Canadian market with a view to establishing itself as an important branch. Eight years earlier, in September 1896, Oxford had opened its first branch operation in New York. The founding of a second branch in Toronto served, in fact, to widen Oxford's presence in North America. By 1929, the Toronto branch could announce with "great pride" that it represented "a Press with such traditions, and such a record of useful and important work, not only in the development of printing but in the History of England."4 After twenty-five years in Canada, Oxford University Press had begun to realize its hopes for expansion. I Ruth Panofsky is Associate Director of the ]Joint Graduate Programme in Communication and Culture at Ryerson University. Her most recent publications include Adele Wiseman: Essays on Her Works and Lifeline, a volume of poetry. She thanks Joanna Gertler, Laura Macleod, Martin Maw, and Phyllis Wilson of Oxford University Press; Jan Walter of Macfarlane Walter 8< Ross; Jim Armour, Vivian Luong, Roy MacSkimming, and Bill Toye for their assistance .

  • Changing Representations of Animals in Canadian English (1920S – 2010S)
    Language & Ecology 2018 http://ecolinguistics-association.org/journal Changing Representations of Animals in Canadian English (1920s – 2010s) Sabrina Fusari, University of Bologna [email protected] Abstract This paper presents a diachronic study of the discursive representation of animals as it emerges from an electronic corpus of Canadian English, the Strathy Corpus. This corpus, developed by the Strathy Language Unit at Queen’s University (Kingston, Ontario), and available from the Brigham Young University (BYU) online platform, is considered to be the most suitable corpus of Canadian English to be used as a national corpus (Cook and Hirst 2012). The aim of this study is to track the main changes that have affected the use of the word “animal” and its related phraseologies in Canadian English over the course of the last century, specifically the period 1921-2011, using a critical discourse approach in which the corpus is used as a source of examples to investigate changing patterns of word context and usage. The focus is on Canadian English not only because of the key role animals play in the Canadian literary and cultural imagination (Fiamengo 2007; Bottez 2014; Banting 2015), but also in an attempt to extend studies on Canadian English beyond traditional academic debates on standardization, harmonization, and homogenization (Dollinger 2011: 8), to experiment with applying the set of critical discourse tools typically used to analyze the two dominant English standards, British and American, to a “non-dominant” (Dollinger 2011: 3), but still native and norm-providing dialect of English. Results show the enduring presence of “human/ animal” dichotomies, metaphors, and some animals consistently represented as symbols of Canada as a nation.

However if you want to browse this material online with fully functioning links, you’d do better to go to the html version at http://www.stanford.edu/~meehan/sullivan/sull.html 1 Introduction I recently revived this project which I had started twenty years ago. At that time I had decided to profile the entire Sullivan clan from the beginning of time to the 1980s. This led to extended pilgrimages to collect Sullivan stories in places like Castletown Beare and Butte Montana, both famous for Sullivans. In effect I was setting out to recreat the Book of Sullivan, the original of which was last seen in the early nineteenth century. These clan books were menat to preserve the glorius history of the Celtic clan. My research was a lot of fun, sometimes I would have long late- night phone conversations with Sullivans whom I didn’t know or meet them in strange places. Later, I put the project on the internet and thereafter hundreds of Sullivans assisted in the project, recreating chronology (years AD or BC) set forth in this book. Later I got busy with other things but then recently I met an eccentric Sullivan gent sporting a huge gold necklace here in the Robin Hood pub in Bangkok.

  • CANADIAN LITERATURE an Italian View
    CANADIAN LITERATURE An Italian View Giose Rimanelli Dr. Rimanelli is a distinguished Italian novelist and critic who has spent much time in Canada and has written a travel book on the country (Biglietto di Terza). Now, with another Italian writer, Roberto Ruberto, he has prepared an anthology of Canadian short stories, entitled Canadiana, which will shortly be published in both Italy and the United States. In this article Dr. Rimanelli explains the reasons which led him to undertake the task. LriTERATURE is NOT A MERE WORD, but the individual ex- pression of man's spirit. Consequently, to study the literature of an epoch means to study the spirit of the man of that epoch. Man lives, thinks and acts within society; he is for or against society because it is part of his destiny to accept or rebel, and yet, in a group or isolated, he himself is society, therefore presence, therefore history and myth, therefore dimension, breath, parable. The history of the universe is the history of man, but it is through man that we tell the story of the universe, because he is the only one who can discover it, give it meaning and thence sing of it. Under this aspect, there is not a country in the world that does not have its own poetry, its own literature, primitive or refined, serene or chaotic, vital or creative. And Canada is no exception to the rule. The task of the scholar is to find out if, beyond the social and political changes which form and reform a country, there are creative forces which endure, which have their own reason for being, whether they are a mere reflex of the time in 13 AN ITALIAN VIEW which they are produced or whether they go beyond it, to impose themselves on new generations.

  • Mordecai Richler Lamented That There the Idea of a Canadian Literature Seemed Something Similar to the Idea of a Literature Among the Aborigènes of Australia

RAJAN, HENRY KREISEL, ROBIN SKELTON, GEORGE ROBERTSON, GEORGE BOWERING, ALBERT TUCKER, DONALD STEPHENS, MARION B. SMITH, MARYA FIAMENGO AND OTHERS A QUARTERLY OF CRITICISM AND R6VI6W ON THE DIVIDE OUR RECENT ISSUES have reflected an anxiety which many people concerned with writing in our country are feeling today. We can see now, as Giose Rimanelli points out from a fresh viewpoint in a later page, that a Canadian literature exists. But we are still disturbed at the conditions to which the writers who make that literature must adapt. The consciousness of this situa- tion appears in article after article submitted to us, and we have published several pieces of this kind because what they have to say seems to us urgently important. Underlying all these discussions is the realization that a literary "world" of the classic Paris or London kind, where writers could undergo their apprenticeship among other writers (with a full apparatus of publishing houses and literary journals), is not likely to come into being in Canada for a long time yet, if ever. Equally present is the related feeling that, though at the moment we are faced with an unprecedented crop of young writers publishing their works in the mimeographed journals that rise and die like mayflies in almost every city in the country, the chance of even the most brilliant of these new writers having the kind of leisure necessary to become latter-day Tolstoys or Flauberts is remote.

  • The Railway in Canadian Poetry
    Kevin Flynn The Railway in Canadian Poetry In his essay on the railway in Australian literature, Russell McDougall outlines some reasons why the railway has not been a resonant image in Australian writing. He points, by way of contrast, to Canada, "where the construction of the CPR has been regarded by a num- ber of writers and critics as a potent symbolism for enacting the sense of nation, steel lines running through the disparate regions of the mosaic" (76). His decision to compare his nation's literature to Canada's in this regard seems sensible enough; after all, although our railway history is not substantially different from that of the United States, we adopted the rail- way as our "national dream," a vision of cooperation and collective indus- triousness that stands apart from the individualist vision of the "American dream." What is striking about McDougall's comment is that he never cites a Canadian writer or critic who refers directly to the railway. In fact, there exist in Canada only three journal articles on the railway in Canadian litera- ture. One is Wayne H. Cole's 1978 article in Canadian Literature, "The Railroad in Canadian Literature," a cursory study often Canadian texts which claims that the railway is "the symbol of modern Canada, embodying within it the many elusive dimensions of the modern Canadian identity" (124). The second is Douglas Jones's "Steel Syntax: The Railroad in Canadian Poetry" (1987), which supports McDougall's assumption by stat- ing bluntly that, "[e]xcept in Canada" (35), the railway "has no great attrac- tion for the twentieth-century muse" (34).
