  • CHAPTER XIII GENEALOGICAL TABLES EXPLANATION the Progenitors of the Baltic Family in America, So Far As Is Known, Were John Batt
    CHAPTER XIII GENEALOGICAL TABLES EXPLANATION The progenitors of the BaltIc family in America, so far as is known, were John Battle and Mathew Battle (probably John's brother). In the following Tables are gil'en, as far as they could be procured, the names of all their descend­ ants, with such facts about each as seemed most worth selling down. Tables 1-78 give the descendants of John, Tables 7'1--87 those of Mathew. The inset key shows the relation of the Tables. The reference under the names hending a Table shows the previous Table in which the descent of the first name may be traced. For example, in Table 10 under the heading Henr!l Laure1ls Battle etc. the reference, See Table 9, means that Henry Laurens Battle's dcscent may bt' traced in Table 9. The letter and numbers before the first name of a Table sl;ow the manner of descent from John or Mathew Battle. For example, in Table 10, J. 1. 2. 6. S. S. 7. Henr!l Laurens Battle means that Henry Laurens Battle was the seventh child of the third child of the third child of the sixth child of the second child of the first child of John Battle. Similarly in Table 79, M. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 5. Nicholas JVilliam Bat­ tle means that Nicholas William Battle was the fifth child of the first child of the first child of the first child of the first child of the first child of Mathew Battle. After the first name of each Table are given, where pOSSible, present or last place of residence, occupation, placc and date of birth, place and date of death, manner of education, items of special interest, religious affiliation, place and date of marriage, name of husband or wife with, in parenthesis, the place and date of birth an~ death of that husband or wife and the names of the parents.

  • Addressing the Queen: Costumes and Elizabeth I in Film
    ADDRESSING THE QUEEN: COSTUMES AND ELIZABETH I IN FILM by LISA WARD BOLDING Under the Direction of Frances Teague ABSTRACT This work focuses on how costumes convey meaning about Queen Elizabeth I in her biopics. First, I will examine the queen’s costume in the final scene of Shekhar Kapur’s 1998 film Elizabeth as a response to the heritage film debate. By conflating two famous portrait gowns, Kapur plays upon the audience’s visual expectations of historical film, thereby separating his film from those that had been criticized as “heritage films.” After using Elizabeth to complicate questions of genre, I will turn to Henry Koster’s 1955 film The Virgin Queen in order to examine how Elizabeth’s costumes depict her as a frustrated, passive figure juxtaposed against Sir Walter Raleigh, who actively fashions his identity by choosing his own clothing. INDEX WORDS: Queen Elizabeth I, Cate Blanchett, Bette Davis, Shekhar Kapur, Henry Koster, costumes, historical film, heritage film, national identity, British national identity, royal portraits, iconography ADDRESSING THE QUEEN: COSTUMES AND ELIZABETH I IN FILM by LISA WARD BOLDING B.A., Wofford College, 2001 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2005 © 2005 Lisa Ward Bolding All Rights Reserved ADDRESSING THE QUEEN: COSTUMES AND ELIZABETH I IN FILM by LISA WARD BOLDING Major Professor: Frances Teague Committee: Christy Desmet Hugh Ruppersburg Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia December 2005 DEDICATION To Mom and Nana, for all your generous gifts; my love of stories comes from you.

  • Privilege and Property: Essays on the History of Copyright
    Privilege and Property Essays on the History of Copyright Edited by Ronan Deazley, Martin Kretschmer and Lionel Bently To access digital resources including: blog posts videos online appendices and to purchase copies of this book in: hardback paperback ebook editions Go to: https://www.openbookpublishers.com/product/26 Open Book Publishers is a non-profit independent initiative. We rely on sales and donations to continue publishing high-quality academic works. Daniel Chodowiecki’s allegorical copper plate of 1781 shows unauthorised reprinters and original publishers, respectively as highwaymen and their victims while the Goddess of Justice is asleep. The full title reads: ‘Works of Darkness. A Contribution to the History of the Book Trade in Germany. Presented Allegorically for the Benefit of and as a Warning to All Honest Booksellers.’ The identities of most of the characters have been identified: the bandit chief is the Austrian publisher Johann Thomas von Trattner (1717-1798) who made a fortune by reprinting books from other German- speaking territories. His victims are the publishers Friedrich Nicolai (in the centre), and Philipp Erasmus Reich (fleeing into the background). The small bat-like monster hovering overhead (a position normally reserved for angels in religious paintings!) is modelled on Gerhard van Swieten (1700-1772), an influential adviser and doctor of Maria Theresa of Austria who eased censorship regulations but encouraged the reprinting of foreign books in Austria. Nicolai’s right arm extends the bat monster’s line of gaze and points to the head of the Goddess Justitia, sleeping as if drugged by the poppy blossoms above her head.

  • MILTON's IMAGE and POETICS of HUMANITY Walter Gardner Campbell Salem, Virginia B.A., Wake Forest University, 1979 M.A., Universi
    MILTON'S IMAGE AND POETICS OF HUMANITY Walter Gardner Campbell Salem, Virginia B.A., Wake Forest University, 1979 M.A., University of Virginia, 1982 A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Virginia May, 1992 i Copyright by Walter Gardner Campbell All rights reserved May, 1992 ii Milton's Image and Poetics of Humanity A Dissertation by Walter Gardner Campbell supervised by James Nohrnberg and Gordon Braden ABSTRACT Milton's image of humanity is a poetics of humanity: a dynamic, dialogic image that multiplies and explores what Nicolas of Cusa calls "conjectural otherness," a poetics fully responsive to the pathos and ironic com­ plexities of human existence. Critics tend to dismiss Milton's image of humanity as an inferior element of his poetic achievement, usually because they force Milton's texts into a premature or inadequate univocality. In fact, however, an insistent binarism of emphatic alterity, an agonizing, transformative approach of opposites, per­ vades and characterizes Milton's work. I find four inter­ pretive analogues of Milton's image of humanity in Blake's "contraries," Kierkegaard's revision of Socrates, Valesio's rhetorics, and Bakhtin's dialogics. L'Allegro and Il Penseroso, two strenuously opposed "companions," are the first extended examples of Milton's image of humanity. Their exaggerated opposition is an exercise neither in renunciation nor in static synthesis, but instead a piercing counterpoint, a music of opposition and alterity sounding within and between them. A confrontational dialogic also characterizes Satan's progress in Paradise Lost.

King Library of the University of Kentucky yields some unexpected treasures in British literature prior to 1800. Here, for example, are Raphael Holinshed's undeniably significant Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland (1587), which supplied so much narrative and information to Shakespeare for his history plays; the important Thomas Speght edition of The Workes of Our Ancient and Learned English Poet, Geffrey Chaucer (1602), which was influential in establishing canon and text; John Gerard, The Herball, or Generall Historie of Plantes (enlarged, 1636), a source for imagery to many generations of Elizabethan and seventeenth­ century authors; The Workes of Ben Jonson (1640) and Letters to Severall Persons of Honour Written by John Donne (1651); both significant editions of Anthony Wood's magnum opus Athenae Oxonienses (1691 and 1721), the latter, the gift of W .
