  • The Country House in English Women's Poetry 1650-1750: Genre, Power and Identity
    The country house in English women's poetry 1650-1750: genre, power and identity Sharon L. Young A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the University’s requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 University of Worcester Abstract The country house in English women’s poetry 1650-1750: power, identity and genre This thesis examines the depiction of the country estate in English women’s poetry, 1650-1750. The poems discussed belong to the country house genre, work with or adapt its conventions and tropes, or belong to what may be categorised as sub-genres of the country house poem. The country house estate was the power base of the early modern world, authorizing social status, validating political power and providing an economic dominance for the ruling elite. This thesis argues that the depiction of the country estate was especially pertinent for a range of female poets. Despite the suggestive scholarship on landscape and place and the emerging field of early modern women’s literary studies and an extensive body of critical work on the country house poem, there have been to date no substantial accounts of the role of the country estate in women’s verse of this period. In response, this thesis has three main aims. Firstly, to map out the contours of women’s country house poetry – taking full account of the chronological scope, thematic and formal diversity of the texts, and the social and geographic range of the poets using the genre. Secondly, to interrogate the formal and thematic characteristics of women’s country house poetry, looking at the appropriation and adaptation of the genre.

  • Dunkirk and Denstroude
    A Battle of Bossenden (bosci/bocage - woody) On May 31st 1838 the battle of Bossenden Wood was fought near this spot. This was the era of the Tolpuddle martyrs and rural unrest was widespread. Here a group of disaffected country labourers, led by a madman who called himself Sir William Courtenay fought militiamen 1 from Canterbury. The soldiers were attempting to restore law and order after Courtenay had murdered Nicholas Mears, a man who 4 was helping his brother in his duties as local constable. The bodies of those who were killed in the engagement were taken to The Red Lion, 2 Dunkirk (where you may learn more about these events). Courtenay had believed himself to be the Messiah and therefore immortal. His body was laid out in the stables for all to see! 3 B Denstroude Farm (den - pig pasture, strood - marshy place) CIrcULAR WALK NO 3 You are now at Denstroude, an isolated place to where those suffering from The Black Death in Canterbury were banished in medieval times. Superstition took over and in later centuries the land was farmed Dunkirk and very little. Consequently, when persecuted Huguenots arrived from Denstroude France in the late seventeenth century they were allowed to settle here. Huguenot Farm lies to your east and the Huguenot Chapel in If you have enjoyed this walk why not try the others in this series?

  • The Blean Active Break
    Active Canterbury’s Woodland An Active Break in... The Blean Canterbury’s Ancient Woodland This Country Break explores the woodlands and villages of The Blean, the area of ancient woodland between; Canterbury, Faversham, Whitstable, Herne Bay and the Marshes of Thanet. Woodlands form the heart of The Blean covering over 3,000 hectares and it remains as one of the most extensive woodlands in the south east of England. This is ancient woodland and is particularly rich and diverse in wildlife, so much so that large areas are specially protected as Nature Reserves or Sites of Special Scientific Interest. The Blean's very nature makes it superb for plenty of outdoor activities, but it really is a walking haven, But cyclists aren't forgotten here either with not only the Crab & Winkle way (part of National Cycle Route 1), but also plenty of great rides through the woods and beyond to the coast. There are a number of routes allowing you to discover many of the less well known parts of the Blean too and you don't need to provide your own bikes, local company Canterbury Cycle Hire provides a range of bikes for all needs. You can hire a bike per hour, day or week, one way or return to any of their hubs in Canterbury, Whitstable and Herne Bay. Find out more at www.theblean.co.uk Oak leaves 1 An Active Break This break is based on exploring the Blean by bike, which you can hire from Canterbury Cycle Hire in Canterbury, Herne Bay or Whitstable.

  • Bulletin BMIG 28
    Bulletin of the British Myriapod & Isopod Group Volume 28 (2015) REPORT ON THE BMIG FIELD MEETING IN KENT 2011 Paul Lee1, A. D. Barber2 and Steve J. Gregory3 1 Little Orchard, Bentley, Ipswich, Suffolk IP9 2DW, UK. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Rathgar, Exeter Road, Ivybridge, Devon PL21 0BD, UK. E-mail: [email protected] 3 200 Ock Street, Abingdon, Oxfordshire OX14 5DR, UK. E-mail: [email protected] INTRODUCTION The 2011 BMIG field weekend, held from 14th to 17th April, was based at the University of Kent at Canterbury. The county has been extensively recorded for myriapods and isopods over the last century and in his introductory talk Eric Philp presented attendees with a species list for Kent along with a challenge to add even a single species so confident was he of the effort that had gone in to ensuring that recording in the county was comprehensive. However, the main purpose of this meeting, one for which a Defra grant had been awarded through Hymettus, was a systematic survey for what were then UK BAP species, the millipedes Polyzonium germanicum and Metaiulus pratensis both of which are Kent specialities. Late thirteenth century archaeological deposits from Stonar (north of Sandwich) provide the earliest woodlouse record from Kent in the form of calcified remains of Porcellio laevis (Girling, 1979). George Newport (1803 – 1854), one of the pioneers of myriapod studies in Britain, was born at Canterbury and published important papers on these animals between 1841 and 1856. His original description of Lithobius melanops was based on specimens actually collected by him from a garden at Sandwich in 1842.
