  • 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.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions. The All London Green Grid SPG was developed in parallel with the area frameworks it can be found at the following link: http://www.london.gov.uk/publication/all-london- green-grid-spg .
