Annual Report for 2014/15
ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2014/15 Chairman’s Report I must begin my report on a sombre note. In the death of Carol Halls last November we lost, not only a long-standing member of the Society but also a pillar of its very structure. Carol epitomised that urge to achieve and to overcome any obstacle. She continued to work for us to the very end despite bouts of poor health and periods in hospital. Those of us who worked with her over many years really do feel bereaved. I do not use the word "irreplaceable" lightly but she is. Our one consolation is that she suffers pain no more and is at eternal rest. I am writing this on March 18th. My desk-top calendar supplied by one of our corporate members, CPI, tells me that on this day in 1959 EMI discontinued the manufacture of 78 rpm singles. What great progress has been made since then in the reproduction and dissemination of live and recorded music! Our quality of life has, by and large, improved by similar leaps and bounds but I ask the question: are we any happier with our environment now than we were 30 or 40 years ago? It is true that much has improved - we have only to look at photographs of London buildings just after the Second World War to realise how dirty and harmful our air was then. However, we are not living in some kind of Utopia. There are many challenges to face. It is good to read in other sections of this report that The Finchley Society is grappling with bad planning applications and with a general indifference towards the environment. -

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. -
