  • Your Career Guide
    ROYAL NAVAL RESERVE Your career guide YOUR ROLE | THE PEOPLE YOU’LL MEET | THE PLACES YOU’LL GO WELCOME For most people, the demands of a job and family life are enough. However, some have ambitions that go beyond the everyday. You may be one of them. In which case, you’re exactly the kind of person we’re looking for in the Royal Naval Reserve (RNR). The Royal Naval Reserve is a part-time force of civilian volunteers, who provide the Royal Navy with the additional trained people it needs at times of tension, humanitarian crisis, or conflict. As a Reservist, you’ll have to meet the same fitness and academic requirements, wear the same uniform, do much of the same training and, when needed, be deployed in the same places and situations as the regulars. Plus, you’ll be paid for the training and active service that you do. Serving with the Royal Naval Reserve is a unique way of life that attracts people from all backgrounds. For some, it’s a stepping stone to a Royal Navy career; for others, a chance to develop skills, knowledge and personal qualities that will help them in their civilian work. Many join simply because they want to be part of the Royal Navy but know they can’t commit to joining full-time. Taking on a vital military role alongside your existing family and work commitments requires a great deal of dedication, energy and enthusiasm. In return, we offer fantastic opportunities for adventure, travel, personal development and friendships that can last a lifetime.

  • INTRODUCTION: DID JANE AUSTEN REALLY MEAN THAT? 1. the Novels Oj}Ane Austen, Edited by R
    NOTES INTRODUCTION: DID JANE AUSTEN REALLY MEAN THAT? 1. The Novels oj}ane Austen, edited by R. W. Chapman. Further references from Austen's novels are to this edition and are included in the text. 2. Claudia Johnson forged a new direction for Austen studies in Jane Austen: WrJmen, Politics, and the Novel. I am deeply indebted to her work as weil as to that of William H. Galperin, The Historical Austen, Deidre Shauna Lynch, The Economy of Character: Novels, Market Culture, and the Business ofInner Meaning, and Mary Ann O'Farrell, Telling Complexions: The Nineteenth-Century English Novel and the Blush. That said, different concerns do shape my project. O'Farreil and I share a central focus on the body in Austen, though we tend to move in dissimilar directions about the kind of somatic work this novelist performs; while O'Farrell commits herself to an understanding of the blush as an expression of pleasure, she also analyzes it in su btle Foucauldian terms as a regulatory device. Lynch's book places Austen at the capstone of her ambitious study of the relationship between the novel's development and economic change; in this context, she demon­ strates how the kind of "characters" associated with the novel (individ­ uals with depth) emerge as a way for people to accommodate themselves to a new and commercialized world. I share with her an interest in the play between surface and depth in characters, and my focus on material objects opens an avenue, I hope, for further explo­ ration of how Austen uses things to foster a sense of inwardness for the characters in her fiction.
