    567 political strength. Other aspects and circumstances, such as the Iroquois defeat by the French (1696-1701), the decline of the fur trade, the population decline of the Iroquois simultaneous to the swell of the colonists’ numbers, and finally, the fissioning of the Confederacy after 1777, all lended to the decline of sovereignty and loss of diplomatic leverage. It was after all the seventeenth-century sovereignty of the Iroquois that initially bred the respect in this relationship, not vice-versa. Perhaps not unlike Thucydides then, Morito has overemphasized individual actions at the expense of greater historical forces. Even so, his middle two chapters have earned him a place in the forum of these discussions. Timothy D. Willig Indiana University South Bend MOTSCH, Andreas, and Grégoire HOLTZ — Éditer la Nouvelle-France. Quebec City: Presses de l’Université Laval, 2011. Pp. 256. Historians of pre-1760 Canada quote excerpts from such writers as Samuel de Champlain, Gabriel Sagard, Pierre-Esprit Radisson, or Joseph-François Lafitau as evidence to support a particular interpretation of the past. These writers were witnesses to some of the events they describe and that fact gives them authority. Historians are aware that partisanship, such as that created by the Franciscan-Jesuit rivalry, or the self-promotion of Jean-Louis Hennepin and Louis-Armand de Lahontan led to distortions and invented discoveries. Plagiarism, hearsay information, and invented dialogues with Amerindians – such as those in Chrestien Le Clercq’s book Nouvelle Relation de la Gaspésie – are common features of these early accounts. Human History and Natural History had not yet been separated from one another and so all that was curious and strange in North America’s plants and animals was reported along with observations on the customs and costumes of the native peoples.

  • Wealthy Business Families in Glasgow and Liverpool, 1870-1930 a DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY In Trade: Wealthy Business Families in Glasgow and Liverpool, 1870-1930 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of History By Emma Goldsmith EVANSTON, ILLINOIS December 2017 2 Abstract This dissertation provides an account of the richest people in Glasgow and Liverpool at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. It focuses on those in shipping, trade, and shipbuilding, who had global interests and amassed large fortunes. It examines the transition away from family business as managers took over, family successions altered, office spaces changed, and new business trips took hold. At the same time, the family itself underwent a shift away from endogamy as young people, particularly women, rebelled against the old way of arranging marriages. This dissertation addresses questions about gentrification, suburbanization, and the decline of civic leadership. It challenges the notion that businessmen aspired to become aristocrats. It follows family businessmen through the First World War, which upset their notions of efficiency, businesslike behaviour, and free trade, to the painful interwar years. This group, once proud leaders of Liverpool and Glasgow, assimilated into the national upper-middle class. This dissertation is rooted in the family papers left behind by these families, and follows their experiences of these turbulent and eventful years. 3 Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the advising of Deborah Cohen. Her inexhaustible willingness to comment on my writing and improve my ideas has shaped every part of this dissertation, and I owe her many thanks.

  • Inhabiting New France: Bodies, Environment and the Sacred, C.1632-C.1700
    Inhabiting New France: Bodies, Environment and the Sacred, c.1632-c.1700 Robin Macdonald PhD University of York History September 2015 2 Abstract The historiography of colonial and ‘religious’ encounters in New France has tended to focus on encounters between human beings, between ‘colonisers’ and ‘colonised’ or ‘natives’ and ‘newcomers’. This thesis will focus on encounters between people and environment. Drawing on recent anthropology, notably the work of Tim Ingold, it will argue that whilst bodies shaped environment, environment also could shape bodies – and their associated religious practices. Through the examination of a broad variety of source materials – in particular, the Jesuit Relations – this thesis will explore the myriad ways in which the sacred was created and experienced between c.1632 and c.1700. Beginning with the ocean crossing to New France – an area largely unexplored in the historiographical literature – it will argue that right from the outset of a missionary’s journey, his or her practices were shaped by encounters with both humans and non-humans, by weather or the stormy Ocean Sea. Reciprocally, it will argue, missionary bodies and practices could shape these environments. Moving next to the mission terrain, it will analyse a variety spaces – both environmental and imaginary – tracing the slow build up of belief through habitual practices. Finally, it will chart the movement of missionaries and missionary correspondence from New France back to France. It was not only missionaries, it will argue, who could experience

  • "A Press with Such Traditions": Oxford University Press of Canada Ruth
    "A Press with Such Traditions": Oxford University Press of Canada Ruth Panofsky' On Tuesday, 10 August 1904, when Oxford University Press established a branch in Canada,2 it joined a small but significant group of publishing houses already operating in Toronto. By the turn of the century, Toronto had become a centre for Canada's burgeoning publishing industry, home to the Copp Clark Company, W.J. Gage and Company, and the Methodist Book and Publishing House (later Ryerson Press), for example. When Oxford University Press set up shop on "Booksellers' Row"3 at Zy Richmond Street West, the company sought to consolidate its presence in the small Canadian market with a view to establishing itself as an important branch. Eight years earlier, in September 1896, Oxford had opened its first branch operation in New York. The founding of a second branch in Toronto served, in fact, to widen Oxford's presence in North America. By 1929, the Toronto branch could announce with "great pride" that it represented "a Press with such traditions, and such a record of useful and important work, not only in the development of printing but in the History of England."4 After twenty-five years in Canada, Oxford University Press had begun to realize its hopes for expansion. I Ruth Panofsky is Associate Director of the ]Joint Graduate Programme in Communication and Culture at Ryerson University. Her most recent publications include Adele Wiseman: Essays on Her Works and Lifeline, a volume of poetry. She thanks Joanna Gertler, Laura Macleod, Martin Maw, and Phyllis Wilson of Oxford University Press; Jan Walter of Macfarlane Walter 8< Ross; Jim Armour, Vivian Luong, Roy MacSkimming, and Bill Toye for their assistance .

  • Changing Representations of Animals in Canadian English (1920S – 2010S)
    Language & Ecology 2018 http://ecolinguistics-association.org/journal Changing Representations of Animals in Canadian English (1920s – 2010s) Sabrina Fusari, University of Bologna [email protected] Abstract This paper presents a diachronic study of the discursive representation of animals as it emerges from an electronic corpus of Canadian English, the Strathy Corpus. This corpus, developed by the Strathy Language Unit at Queen’s University (Kingston, Ontario), and available from the Brigham Young University (BYU) online platform, is considered to be the most suitable corpus of Canadian English to be used as a national corpus (Cook and Hirst 2012). The aim of this study is to track the main changes that have affected the use of the word “animal” and its related phraseologies in Canadian English over the course of the last century, specifically the period 1921-2011, using a critical discourse approach in which the corpus is used as a source of examples to investigate changing patterns of word context and usage. The focus is on Canadian English not only because of the key role animals play in the Canadian literary and cultural imagination (Fiamengo 2007; Bottez 2014; Banting 2015), but also in an attempt to extend studies on Canadian English beyond traditional academic debates on standardization, harmonization, and homogenization (Dollinger 2011: 8), to experiment with applying the set of critical discourse tools typically used to analyze the two dominant English standards, British and American, to a “non-dominant” (Dollinger 2011: 3), but still native and norm-providing dialect of English. Results show the enduring presence of “human/ animal” dichotomies, metaphors, and some animals consistently represented as symbols of Canada as a nation.

  • The Wabanaki As Mariners
    The Wabanaki as Mariners NICHOLAS N. SMITH Ogdensburg, New York , Although the marine abilities of southern New England Indians have been well established (Little 1981), the Micmac are their only northern Wabanaki neighbours who have been recognized as mariners (Martijn 1986). The primary concern of this paper is the Maine and New Brunswick Wabanaki. Speck subtitled his Penobscot Man "The Life History of a Forest Tribe In Maine" ignoring their expertise as a sea people. However, he found a relationship between some Penobscot family names and the sea: Lobster or Crab, Sculpin, and Whale adding that, "Mythically the aquatic families seem to be the oldest" (Speck 1940:211). He noted that their hunting ter­ ritories were to the south and were smaller than those in the north. His calendar gives two names for August: "(seals) fattening moon" and "corn moon" which stresses the importance of seals to those on the coast just as corn was to those of the interior. Islands have been ignored in descriptions of hunting territories, yet a perusal of Maine island histories shows that almost every Maine island has a tradition of Indian inhabitants at the time that whites discovered it. There is historical documentation from the 17th to the 20th century showing that Passamaquoddy of the Neptune Chief lin­ eage considered Campobello Island their hunting territory. Could islands and the ocean surrounding them have been included in the definitions of the aquatic family hunting territories? Archaeologists led by Bruce Bourque have provided ample evidence that island and Maine coastal campsites were occupied from fall until spring, winter campgrounds.

I would like to thank my family and friends for all their love and support. My grandparents, parents, sister, cousin, aunts and uncles. They were the foundation of everything that has shaped my life and allowed me the strength to complete this while working full-time. And, to my fiancée Kimberly. I mention her separately, not because she is not included above, but because she is the one person who diligently edited, listened, and gracefully sat by giving up years of vacations, holidays, and parties as I spent countless nights quietly writing. I would also give the most heartfelt thank you to Dr. Moses, Dr. McCoy, and Dr. Smith. Each of you made me the historian I am today. As Dr. James Ronda told me once, pick your professors, not the school—they will shape everything.
