  • Collaboration and Resistance : a Nationalist Movement on Deck
    Collaboration and Resistance: A Nationalist 4 Movement on Deck The title of this chapter introduces us to various new developmentS that begin to characterise a national history from the l870s onwards. It is a complicated period, the study of which has not been widely diffused; many Maltese even today harbour impressions and prejudices that linger on from colonial times. Yet it is an immensely formative period, pregnant with life-signs and with problems for the future. Looking back, we can identify courage and optimism in the birth of a home-grown nationalist movement to resist imperialism and colonialism as practised in Malta; but equally we can see much pessimism and collaboration which rendered this already difficult task - a nationalist resistance - still more difficult. Robinson and others have argued convincingly that it is ridiculous to try to understand imperialism as an entirely foreign body, thrown onto the subjected like a cloak; it certainly was not so in Malta where the cloak was woven and fashioned out into many a dress and often enough worn with pride, shown off as a mark of superiority, of acceptability or of survival. The underlying additional difficulty in the case of Malta - as this writer has shown extensively in other writings - was that the island had a strategic importance which, in the British perception, could barely allow it to breathe let along to spring into an independent existence. Having been independent for a quarter-of-a-century now, today's Malta may look back upon independence as a foregone conclusion, an inevitable development, an assumption wrapped up in history.

  • A “Lasting Solution”: the Eastern Question and British Imperialism, 1875-1878
    A “Lasting Solution”: The Eastern Question and British Imperialism, 1875-1878 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Leslie Rogne Schumacher IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Anna Clark, Ph.D. July 2012 © Leslie Rogne Schumacher 2012 Acknowledgements Acknowledgements often mention the trouble of making sure every person who helped the author is named and thanked. For me the problem is not so much the identity of those who have aided me, but rather making sure I thank everyone properly. At the risk of a cliché, I would say that this might be the single hardest part of the dissertation process in that appropriate gratitude cannot be cloaked, as much academic writing is, by vague or pedantic language. A thank-you deserves to be said as clearly as possible. This thesis would not have been possible without regular support, cajoling, and at times even gentle coercion from my family. My mother, Dr. Leah Rogne, herself a veteran of the war against the dissertation, spoke to me with the combination of empathy and deference that comes with having fought through the wounds and setbacks of a Ph.D. program to final triumph. She taught me that writing a dissertation is a glorious, unique intellectual endeavor that invariably comes in the form of a long, often painful slog of general busywork. The realization that there is no conflict between these two aspects of serious academic writing was key to maintaining my progress, despite my desires at times to pack it all in and quit.

  • Obituary. Field Marshal Sir John Lintorn Arabin
    312 SIR JOHNLINTORN ARABIN SIMMONS. [Obituary. OBITUARY. FrELn-MARsHBr, SIR JOHN LINTORNARBBIN SIMbfONS,l G.C.B., G.C.M.G., Royal Engineers, died on the 14th February, 1903, at Hawley House, Blackwater, Hants. He was the fifth son of the late Captain Thomas Frederick Simmons, Royal Artillery, a well-known authority on MilitaryLaw, whose book on the “ Constitution and Practiceof Courts-martial ” was for many years thestandard treatise on the subject. Lintorn Sinlmonswas born at Langford, in Somerset, on the12th February, 1821, and after being educated at Elizabeth College, Guernsey, and at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, obtained hisfirst commission as a second lieutenant, Royal Engineers, in December, 1837. His early service was in North America; and for the first portion of his professional career he devoted his attention largely to railway work, holding successively the appointmentsof Inspector of Railways, Secretary to the Railway Commission, and Secretary to theRailway Department of the Board of Trade. In 1853, however, his presence, on leave, in Turkey led to his employment by LordStratford de Redcliffe onseveral important missions connected withthe Embassy at Constantinople. This was followed by the appointmentof Captain Simmons as Her Majesty’s Conlmissioner at the headquartersof the Ottoman army in Europe, which post heretained until 1857, having in the meantime obtainedpromotion bytwo brevets to the rank of Lieutenant- Colonel. In the spring and summer of 1854 Simmons served with the army under Omar Pasha and in the operations on the Danube, and was present at the siegeof Silistria, which, although Ton Moltkc accounted it the worst of the Danubian fortresses, has repeatedly playedan important part in Russo-Turkish wars.
