I have put it second in the pair because that is its right place. Criticisms, com^ ments, interpretations, are of comparatively little use until you have read the poetry of which they treat. Like photographs of places that one has not seen, they lack the reviving, realizing touch of remembrance. The book contains a series of essays, written at dif- ferent times, printed separately in different places, and collected, substantially, in a book called The Poetry of Tennyson, which was fortunate enough to find many friends, and has now, I believe, gone out of print. -

One of Many: Martial Law and English Laws C. 1500 – C. 1700 John
One of Many: Martial Law and English Laws c. 1500 – c. 1700 John Michael Collins Minneapolis, MN Bachelor of Arts, with honors, Northwestern University, 2006 MPHIL, with distinction, Cambridge University, 2008 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August 2013 Abstract This dissertation provides the first history of martial law in the early modern period. It seeks to reintegrate martial law in the larger history of English law. It shows how jurisdictional barriers constructed by the makers of the Petition of Right Parliament for martial law unintentionally transformed the concept from a complementary form of criminal law into an all-encompassing jurisdiction imposed by governors and generals during times of crisis. Martial law in the early modern period was procedure. The Tudor Crown made it in order to terrorize hostile populations into obedience and to avoid potential jury nullification. The usefulness of martial law led Crown deputies in Ireland to adapt martial law procedure to meet the legal challenges specific to their environment. By the end of the sixteenth century, Crown officers used martial law on vagrants, rioters, traitors, soldiers, sailors, and a variety of other wrongs. Generals, meanwhile, sought to improve the discipline within their forces in order to better compete with their rivals on the European continent. Over the course of the seventeenth century, owing to this desire, they transformed martial law substance, procedure, and administration. The usefulness of martial law made many worried, and MPs in 1628 sought to restrain martial law to a state of war, defined either as the Courts of Westminster being closed or by the presence of the enemy’s army with its standard raised. -

DOEBLER, ELIZABETH A., DMA. an Annotated Catalog of the Commissioned Works of the Ithaca College Choral Series Published by Theodore Presser Company
DOEBLER, ELIZABETH A., DMA. An Annotated Catalog of the Commissioned Works of the Ithaca College Choral Series Published by Theodore Presser Company. (2014) Directed by Dr. Welborn Young, 125 pp. The purpose of this study was to create an annotated catalog of the twenty-four commissioned works published in the Ithaca College Choral Series by the Theodore Presser Company. For inclusion in this research, the compositions met the following criteria: commissioned and premiered at the Ithaca College Choral Composition Festival, and published by the Presser Company as part of the Ithaca College Choral Series from 1979-2009. Prior to this document, no research had been conducted with the specific purpose of cataloging the works of the Ithaca College Choral Series. Few choirs perform these works because many of the works are challenging. Each catalog entry includes the following information: title, composer, premiere date, textual theme, voicing, instrumentation, difficulty level, duration, tempo, meter, and vocal ranges. In addition, each entry contains overviews on the text, salient musical features, and specific musical and technical challenges. The intention for the information contained in this catalog is to increase awareness of the commissioned works in this study, and to offer a practical resource for choral directors. The Introduction includes information about the Annual Choral Composition Festival at Ithaca College, specific details about the commissioning process, and the method for presentation and description of each composition. The Catalog section contains the annotations of the commissioned works. Textual origin is the selected component for delineating the works into five categories: composer-as-poet, North American poet, British poet, non-English-speaking poet, and sacred text. -
The Neglected Shelley
THE NEGLECTED SHELLEY Proof Copy The Neglected Shelley.indb 1 9/11/2015 4:29:18 PM The Nineteenth Century Series General Editors’ Preface The aim of the series is to reflect, develop and extend the great burgeoning of interest in the nineteenth century that has been an inevitable feature of recent years, as that former epoch has come more sharply into focus as a locus for our understanding not only of the past but of the contours of our modernity. It centres primarily upon major authors and subjects within Romantic and Victorian literature. It also includes studies of other British writers and issues, where these are matters of current debate: for example, biography and autobiography, journalism, periodical literature, travel writing, book production, gender, non-canonical writing. We are dedicated principally to publishing original monographs and symposia; our policy is to embrace a broad scope in chronology, approach and range of concern, and both to recognize and cut innovatively across such parameters as those suggested by the designations ‘Romantic’ and ‘Victorian’. We welcome new ideas and theories, while valuing traditional scholarship. It is hoped that the world which predates yet so forcibly predicts and engages our own will emerge in parts, in the wider sweep, and in the lively streams of disputation and change that are so manifest an aspect of its intellectual, artistic and social landscape.
