One gentleman has taken fo u r copies of the former Series is purpose. Any good influence, which may be thus exerted, should not be neglected in this if spiritual, and even intellectual drought. Some may also find it convenient to forward a copy ir friends at home, where the affairs of India are exciting more and more interest. W e are sure those who judge rightly will feel that they do good in supporting the publication, and probably a benevolent Society, while they may perhaps get good to'the value of their money.

  • The Great Western Railway and the Celebration of Englishness
    THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY AND THE CELEBRATION OF ENGLISHNESS D.Phil. RAILWAY STUDIES I.R.S. OCTOBER 2000 THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY AND THE CELEBRATION OF ENGLISHNESS ALAN DAVID BENNETT M.A. D.Phil. RAILWAY STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF YORK INSTITUTE OF RAILWAY STUDIES OCTOBER 2000 ABSTRACT This thesis identifies the literary work of the Great Western Railway as marking a significant contribution to the discourse of cultural representation over the first four decades of the twentieth century and particularly so for the inter-war era. The compa- ny's work is considered in the context of definitive and invariably complex cultural per- spectives of its day, as mediated through the examination of the primary literature, com- pany works and other related sources, together with the historiographical focus of latter- day analysis. G.W.R. literary perspectives - historical, political, commercial-industrial and aesthetic - are thus compared and contrasted with both rival and convergent repre- sentations and contextualised within the process of historical development and ideolog- ical differentiations. Within this perspective of inter-war society, the G.W.R. literature is considered according to four principal themes: the rural-traditional representation and related his- torical-cultural identification in the perceived sense of inheritance and providential mis- sion; the company's extensive industrial interests, wherein regional, national and inter- national perspectives engaged a commercial-cultural construction of Empire; the 'Ocean Coast' imagery - the cultural formulation of the seashore in terms of a taxonomy of landscapes and resorts according to the structural principles of protocol, expectation and clientele and, finally, that of Anglo-Saxon-Celtic cultural characterisations with its agenda of ethnicity and gender, central in the context of this work to the definition of Englishness and community.

  • Imagining the Age of Oil: Case Studies in British Petrocultures, 1865-1935
    Imagining the Age of Oil: Case Studies in British Petrocultures, 1865-1935 by Ian Wereley A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2018, Ian Wereley Abstract This dissertation investigates the cultural history of oil in Britain over a seventy- year period, between 1865 and 1935. While much has been written about the economic, political, diplomatic, geopolitical, and military aspects of oil during this timeframe, there have been few investigations into the ways that cultural factors have shaped the history of oil in Britain, a gap in the literature that this study seeks to fill. Britain was one of the first industrialized nations to make the transition to oil and in the period under consideration, everyday consumption of the commodity increased dramatically, especially in the cities, where new oil technologies for heating, illumination, and transportation became commonplace conveniences. Using understudied sources such as public lectures, cartoons, advertisements, exhibitions, and architecture, the dissertation examines the discourses of transition that were created to help Britons navigate their changing energy landscapes. It maps the complexities, opportunities, and impasses that accompanied the historical rise of oil in Britain during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and argues that the system of things that brought oil from the wellhead to the consumer was predicated on a vast constellation of ideas. ii Acknowledgements This dissertation is the product of a long and complicated journey that would not have been possible without the guidance and support of several individuals who, in one way or another, extended their valuable assistance in the preparation of this study.
