Scott Extent: 1 sheet Scope and Content: Letter from W.T. Stead (1849–1912), newspaper editor and spiritualist, asking Scott to consider the publication of an anti-war penny weekly in connection with the Manchester Guardian, entitled War against War in the Transvaal. Stead suggests inclusion of extracts from speeches by [John] Morley, politician and writer, [Leonard] Courtney, journalist and politician, and Scott, along with writings from Olive Schreiner, author and social theorist.

  • 1 Methodism and Abstinence
    Methodism and Abstinence: a History of The Methodist Church and Teetotalism Submitted by Jonathan Paul Curtis to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology In February 2016 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 2 Methodism and Abstinence: a History of The Methodist Church and Teetotalism Abstract: This thesis has two overarching aims. The first aim is to understand the origins and development of temperance and abstinence in British Methodism, particularly through the theology that informed what may broadly be called the Methodist teetotal movement in its period of greatest popularity from 1830 until 1919. The second is to consider the downfall of this movement in the period from 1945 until 1974, when the Methodist Connexion adopted the view that each Methodist “must consider his personal attitude to all drugs in relation to his Christian vocation”.1 The need for the study arises from the relative dearth of historical investigation regarding Methodism and abstinence. Representations of Methodism and abstinence tend either to be partisan or to lack wider understanding of the abstinence movement, or the theology of Methodism. Methodologically, this thesis attempts to hold together historical and theological considerations; it is important to consider both the socio-economic contexts in which diverse abstinence and teetotal movements arose and the theological motivations that drove British Methodist belief and practice.

  • The 3Rd Earl of Carlisle at Castle Howard
    Textual Networks and the Country House: The 3rd Earl of Carlisle at Castle Howard Hannah Jane DeGroff PHD THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH AND RELATED LITERATURE December 2012 ABSTRACT The following thesis is centred on Charles Howard, 3rd Earl of Carlisle (1669-1738) and the life that he lived at Castle Howard in North Yorkshire, the country house which he built at the turn of the eighteenth century. The thesis argues that Carlisle was not isolated from social and cultural spheres whilst living in Yorkshire, a view that has been put forward by the existing historiography. Via the arrival of books, letters, and news to Castle Howard, the Earl remained connected to social and political events as well as cultural movements despite being geographically remote from London and other urban centres. In many instances, his family, close friends, and agents acted as intermediaries, sourcing, recommending, and sending north all types of textual material. The Earl’s participation in epistolary, news, and book exchange networks – at regional and national levels – meant Castle Howard was an active site of textual exchange and engagement in the first four decades of the eighteenth century. Such a reading challenges, more generally, the traditional interpretation that country house residents were disconnected from the nation’s Capital as well as the local communities that they neighboured. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT 2! !

Collaboration between Liberals and Conservatives in British politics is not new. Some past arrangements, such as the Lloyd George Coalition, or the National Government of 1931, have been well researched, while others, including the Constitutionalists, have barely received any attention. Whilst it is fairly well- known that Churchill labelled himself as a Constitutionalist at the 1924 general election, in an attempt to straddle the Liberal– Conservative divide, he was not the only candidate bearing the label. Alun Wyburn- Powell identifies the other candidates who also styled themselves Constitutionalists, and investigates their electoral records, their views and their objectives. 6 Journal of Liberal History 79 Summer 2013 A FORGOTTEN LIBERal–CONSERVATIVE AlliancE ThE COnsTITUTIOnalisTS and THE 1924 GENERal ElECTION – A NEW PARTY OR A WORThlEss COUPON? n analysing their perfor- 162 candidates faced a Conserva- to those of the Fusionists, and some mance at the 1924 election, it tive contender.1 of the groups’ membership over- Iis possible to draw conclusions By the following election, in lapped.
