  • Coorspttng Ptiorp
    COorspttng Ptiorp. BY THE HEY. E. W. WEAVER, M.A., F.S.A. rr^HE Priorj of Worspring was founded by William de Courteney ; the exact date of the foundation is not known. The letter from the founder to Bishop Joscelyn is not dated, but in it the Bishop is called Bishop of Bath, which title seems to refer to the years between 1219 and 1242;^ at any rate it was a going concern in 1243, for in that year Prior Reginald died and Prior Richard succeeded him. It was dedi- cated to the B.y.M. and St. Thomas of Canterbury, and was a house of Canons Regular of the Rule of St. Augustine and of the Order of St. Victor. The letter of the founder to the Bishop points to the great monastery of the same order at Bristol as a kind of foster- mother to Worspring. Some of the Augustinian Monasteries were of the Rule of St. Victor : St. Augustine’s Abbey at Bristol, Keynsham Abbey, Stavordale Priory and Worspring Priory in Somerset, and Wormesley Priory in Herefordshire were all of this Rule. The Rule was named after the famous Abbey of St. Victor in Paris, which was founded by Louis VI in 1129. Gregory Rivius, in his Monastica Historia (Lipsiae, 1737, cap. 10, p. 26), gives a list of rules of the Canons Regular of St. Victor, and shews how their rule differed from that of St. Augustine. We ])rint below an Inspeximus taken from the Bath Cartu- lary (S.R.S., ^AI, ii, 58). In a note (260?i) the Rev.

  • WLV Insider March 2015
    WLV Insider March 2015 Welcome to the staff e-zine for the University of Wolverhampton. Each month, we’ll be bringing you the latest news, showcasing departments, celebrating staff successes and publicising events. There will also be competitions and giveaways. We want to give you the chance to tell colleagues about your successes and projects and are keen to have your input and ideas. Please email your information before the last week of each month to [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you. Have your say on University building names New names are being sought for key buildings around campus – and staff and the rest of the University community are being encouraged to get their thinking caps on. The idea is to make finding the way around and giving directions easier. The buildings will keep their two letter prefix (such as MA), as well as gaining their new names. It is hoped that the whole University community – students, staff, governors and recent alumni – can get involved. At each stage a new name will be proposed, alongside the opportunity for people to make their own suggestions. Last year this exercise was carried out at the Walsall Campus and the suggestion scheme realised new names for: WA Building The Jerome K Jerome Building WN Building The Samuel Johnson Building WD Building The William Penny Brookes Building Now the University is looking for suggestions for names for some of the buildings at the City Campus and Telford Innovation Campus. Building prefix Current name Suggested new name CITY CAMPUS MA Marble reception The Wulfruna Building MX To be suggested by staff and students MK The Charles Wheeler Building TELFORD INNOVATION CAMPUS SC To be suggested by staff and students People can make suggestions using the form at: www.wlv.ac.uk/haveyoursay and there is also further guidance available on this webpage.

  • Ealing Studios and the Ealing Comedies: the Tip of the Iceberg
    Ealing Studios and the Ealing Comedies: the Tip of the Iceberg ROBERT WINTER* In lecture form this paper was illustrated with video clips from Ealing films. These are noted below in boxes in the text. My subject is the legendary Ealing Studios comedies. But the comedies were only the tip of the iceberg. To show this I will give a sketch of the film industry leading to Ealing' s success, and of the part played by Sir Michael Balcon over 25 years.! Today, by touching a button or flicking a switch, we can see our values, styles, misdemeanours, the romance of the past and present-and, with imagination, a vision of the" future. Now, there are new technologies, of morphing, foreground overlays, computerised sets, electronic models. These technologies affect enormously our ability to give currency to our creative impulses and credibility to what we do. They change the way films can be produced and, importantly, they change the level of costs for production. During the early 'talkie' period there many artistic and technical difficulties. For example, artists had to use deep pan make-up to' compensate for the high levels of carbon arc lighting required by lower film speeds. The camera had to be put into a soundproof booth when shooting back projection for car travelling sequences. * Robert Winter has been associated with the film and television industries since he appeared in three Gracie Fields films in the mid-1930s. He joined Ealing Studios as an associate editor in 1942 and worked there on more than twenty features. After working with other studios he became a founding member of Yorkshire Television in 1967.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produoad from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the molt advanced technological meant to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality it heavily dependent upon the quality of the original lubmitted. The following explanation of techniques it provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Pags(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. The choice of literary fiction to the general exclusion of popular fiction is partly because the latter’s response to the Cold War has received some study, but also because study of the topic tends to overemphasise its source material. For example, see LynnDiane Beene paraphrased in Brian Diemert, ‘The Anti- American: Graham Greene and the Cold War in the 1950s’, in Andrew Hammond, ed., Cold War Literature: Writing the Global Conflict (London and New York: Routledge, 2006), p. 213; and David Seed, American Science Fiction and the Cold War: Literature and Film (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 1999), p. 192. 2.

For useful summaries of the different schools of Cold War historiography, see S.J. Ball, The Cold War: An International History, 1947– 1991 (London and New York: Arnold, 1998), pp. 1–4; and Ann Lane, ‘Introduction: The Cold War as History’, in Klaus Larres and Lane, eds, The Cold War: The Essential Readings (Oxford and Malden: Blackwell, 2001), pp. 3–16. 4. Dwight D. Eisenhower quoted in John Lewis Gaddis, The Cold War, new edn (2005; London: Penguin, 2007), p. 123. In the mid-1940s, the US assertion that ‘in this global war there is literally no question, political or military, in which the United States is not interested’ was soon echoed by Vyacheslav Molotov’s claim that ‘[o]ne cannot decide now any serious problems of international relations without the USSR’ (quoted in Paul Kennedy, The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers: Economic Change and Military Conflict from 1500 to 2000, new edn (1987; New York: Vintage Books, 1989), p.

Land has probably been worked here since late Neolithic times. Evidence in the form of a flint blade (probably once accompanying a late Neolithic burial), sherds ofBronze Age beaker ware (c.1750 BC) and Roman pottery sherds and other artefacts indicate continuity of occupation. The village boundaries of Stanton Prior, Corston and Marksbury, all converge on Stantonbury, but ignore Wansdyke, the other great archaeo­ logical feature here.

  • Admission for All How Cinema and the Railways Shaped British Culture, 1895-1948
    Admission for All How Cinema and the Railways Shaped British Culture, 1895-1948 Rebecca E Harrison UCL PhD in Film Studies Declaration I, Rebecca Harrison, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Abstract My thesis examines the intersections between railway and cinema spaces to demonstrate how crucial these technologies were in altering life in Britain. The project focuses on the period between 1895 (the birth of film) and 1948 (when the railways were nationalised). Access to railways and cinemas was predicated on payment rather than birthright: in carriages and auditoriums, consumerism was—in theory—inclusive. The two technologies were thus crucial in transforming public space from one of privilege to one of mass consumption. I analyse three spaces: inside carriages, the interiors of auditoriums and the space onscreen to demonstrate how trains and moving images affected in material ways people’s experiences of modernity in everyday life. I also connect the intersections between the railway and cinema to a broader narrative about Britain’s democracy and industrial and political change in the period. This interdisciplinary thesis draws on a variety of fields including film theory, history, geography and sociology to provoke a reinvestigation of the cinema and the train in British culture. Archival research is central to the thesis, as primary sources create a material history of both the railway and cinema’s impacts on life in Britain. The project’s historical narrative is also interwoven with conceptual analysis.
