  • The Death of Captain Cook in Theatre 224
    The Many Deaths of Captain Cook A Study in Metropolitan Mass Culture, 1780-1810 Ruth Scobie PhD University of York Department of English April 2013 i Ruth Scobie The Many Deaths of Captain Cook Abstract This thesis traces metropolitan representations, between 1780 and 1810, of the violent death of Captain James Cook at Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to these representations, in order to show how the interlinked texts of a nascent commercial culture initiated the creation of a colonial character, identified by Epeli Hau’ofa as the looming “ghost of Captain Cook.” The introduction sets out the circumstances of Cook’s death and existing metropolitan reputation in 1779. It situates the figure of Cook within contemporary mechanisms of ‘celebrity,’ related to notions of mass metropolitan culture. It argues that previous accounts of Cook’s fame have tended to overemphasise the immediacy and unanimity with which the dead Cook was adopted as an imperialist hero; with the result that the role of the scene within colonialist histories can appear inevitable, even natural. In response, I show that a contested mythology around Cook’s death was gradually constructed over the three decades after the incident took place, and was the contingent product of a range of texts, places, events, and individuals. The first section examines responses to the news of Cook’s death in January 1780, focusing on the way that the story was mediated by, first, its status as ‘news,’ created by newspapers; and second, the effects on Londoners of the Gordon riots in June of the same year.

    King William IV, monarch of England, reigned from 1830 until his death in 1837. William served in the Royal Navy in his youth and was, both during his reign and afterwards, nicknamed the "Sailor King". He served in North America and the Carribean. In 1789, he was crowned The Duke of Clarence and St Andrew's. Since his two older brothers died without leaving legitimate issue, he unexpectedly inherited the throne when he was 64 years old. His reign saw several reforms: the poor law was updated, child labour restricted, slavery abolished in nearly all the British Empire, and the British electoral system refashioned by the Reform Act 1832. At the time of his death William had no surviving legitimate children, but he was survived by eight of the ten illegitimate children he had by the actress Dorothea Jordan, with whom he cohabited for 20 years. William was succeeded in the United Kingdom by his niece, Victoria, and in Hanover by his brother, Ernest Augustus. Clarence Street was named in honour of "The Duke Of Clarence".

  • Pride and Prejudice
    Pride and Prejudice Translating and Adapting Lydia Bennet Alumna: María Heredia Torres Trabajo Fin de Grado Traducción e Interpretación Junio 2017 Tutor: José María Pérez Fernández 1 Table of contents I. Introduction 3 II. Translating Lydia Bennet 6 III. Adapting Lydia Bennet 11 IV. Jane Austen, adaptations 25 and society V. Conclusion 30 Appendix 33 Bibliography 34 2 I. Introduction It is a truth universally acknowledged that everybody must read at least one Jane Austen’s novel in their life. And, although Sense and Sensibility and Emma are rather popular, most people read her most famous novel: Pride and Prejudice. Many people and researchers have written about this novel due to its importance and popularity: they have analyzed situations, irony, the language that Austen used and why it was used. And not only researchers know a lot about Pride and Prejudice. We all know Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy’s love story, the sweet love that Jane Bennet and Mr. Bingley feel for each other and the elopement of crazy and irresponsible Lydia Bennet with shameless George Wickham. According to this, everybody knows everything about Pride and Prejudice and there is nothing new to say, so what is the aim of doing a new project about something that has already been studied thousands of times? Even though a lot of research has been done, there are still new things to say and there are some characters that have been less studied, although not forgotten. Lydia Bennet is one of those. Most people only know her because of the elopement that nearly destroyed Lizzy and Darcy’s happiness, but they are not really aware of who she really was.

My picture is all about the sea lamprey invading Lake Erie, I hope we find a way to stop these monsters before they spread in our lake.-- Tilden This is a mixed media piece with water color and colored pencil, Tilden made for the Wildlife Forever Fish Art Contest.

Coupled with the personal angst I was experiencing due to the aura of negativity, chaos and division over the last 4 years the pieces were born. Each of the 3 pieces are mixed media. The compositions are developed with multiple layers. Using monotype prints, Prismacolor pencils, graphite pencils and Caran d"Ache pencils each one is developed until I think it is finished. This was a body of work done over a 4 month span. They vary enough so that I don't refer to them as a series.

    Regional Oral History Office University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Sylvia McLaughlin CITIZEN ACTIVIST FOR THE ENVIRONMENT: SAVING SAN FRANCISCO BAY, PROMOTING SHORELINE PARKS AND NATURAL VALUES IN URBAN AND CAMPUS PLANNING Interviews conducted by Ann Lage in 2006-2007 Copyright © 2009 by The Regents of the University of California ii Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Sylvia McLaughlin, dated October 16, 2006.
