Although historians have tended to dismiss them as the faceless and voiceless grey men of Empire, this study argues that the political officers of the Colonial Services represented the backbone of British colonial administration and, quite literally, were responsible for its survival and proliferation.

  • Precious Nonsense
    Precious Nonsense NEWSLETTER OF THE MIDWESTERN GILBERT AND SULLIVAN SOCIETY May 2001 -- Issue 62 On your allegiance, we've a stronger claim! We charge you yield in Queen Victoria's Name! (It was either that, or "Say, why is everything either at Sixes or at Sevens?" because things in the Cole Household have been at multiples of 13 all over the place. But be that as it may.) Recently, during a discussion of drama with someone marginally familiar with the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, he remarked that they were too smart for their own good; that, from what he had read, the Jesse Helms-types would never have let them be performed. I responded that, I don't know about the ultra-conservatives, but these days, when a parody of Gone With the Wind is legally mistaken for a sequel, two (and possibly three or four) of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas would never have made it to the stage at all. There's Princess Ida ("A respectful per-version of Tennyson's The Princess"), Yeomen of the Guard (which had a lot of similarity with an earlier opera Maritana), possibly Sorcerer (with themes similar to those in L'Elisir D'Amore). And then there are the "digs" at well-known personalities in Pinafore and Patience. And, of course, there's the well-documented fears of "political incorrectness" at various times with Mikado. So isn't it great that Gilbert and Sullivan produced their work when they did: just think of all the joy that work wouldn't have been able to provide if they had tried to present it before or after Queen Victoria's Glorious (and what appear to be artistically generous) Days.

The ‘Reform and Renewal’ project, driven by the Archbishop’s Council and Tunderwritten by the Church Commissioners, will have effects (not only organisational) which are difficult as yet to estimate, but even in its earlier days some were complaining that too narrow a range of voices was being listened to: [Scholars and academics are] not wanted because they would slow the work down and cause lots of questions to be asked. If you can’t value the past, you may then decide it needs to go, or needs modification. If you’ve never taken the time to understand it in the first place, there are risks.1 There have been complaints that the project is too closely associated with a particular style of churchmanship and worship, and that the statistics which are relied on to indicate the ‘levers’ of church growth have been misrepresented.2 One of the documents associated with ‘Reform and Renewal’ (Setting God’s People Free) calls for a ‘change in the culture’ of the laity to make them more ‘missional’.

  • Gilbert & Sullivan
    Gilbert & Sullivan W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan were an unlikely pair. While both yearned to be something else - Gilbert a "serious" playwright and Sullivan a "serious" composer - they collaborated between 1871 and 1896 on fourteen comic operas that, from small beginnings, won them fame, fortune and a place in posterity assured surely beyond their wildest dreams. Gilbert was an impatient, acerbic, crotchety man with a gift for writing that expressed itself first in humorous illustrated poems - The Bab Ballads - and then in stories, plays and comic operas. Sullivan, six years younger, was born into a musical family, studied at the Royal Academy of Music and Leipzig, after which, with some success, he took up composing. Both men cut their comic opera teeth with other collaborators: in the late 1860s, Gilbert wrote six short family-friendly comic operas or "entertainments" for Thomas Reed. Sullivan's first foray into the realm was Cox and Box (1866), written with librettist F. C. Burnard for an informal gathering of friends. Then, in 1871, producer John Hollingshead brought Gilbert and Sullivan together to produce a Christmas entertainment, Thespis, at his Gaiety Theatre, a large West End house. The piece was an extravaganza in which the classical Greek gods, grown elderly, are temporarily replaced by a troupe of 19th-century actors and actresses, one of whom is the eponymous Thespis, the Greek father of the drama. Its mixture of political satire and grand opera parody mimicked Offenbach's Orpheus In The Underworld and La Belle Helene, which (in translation) then dominated the English musical stage.
