    A MAGAZINE ABOUT THE LIFE AND WORK OF SIR NOËL COWARD • MAY 2012 News and views of the Star Quality exhibition - and the ‘Noël Coward in New York’ festival. GOLDENHURST LunEch wnith cJuoliaun Cnlatry eatr Geodldenhurst and a review of his recently-published novel ‘Briefs Encountered’. Noël Coward at ‘Look Out’ - Firefly, Jamaica PRODUCED AND PUBLISHED BY THE INTERNATIONAL NOËL COWARD SOCIETY - 1- www.noëlcoward.net hat an amazing month March was! Apart from reasonable weather, two of the most significant events for me marked an early opening of Spring EDITORIAL long before an Easter chick was a wink in a cockerel’s eye. Out of the blue came a charming invitation from Julian Clary for the officers of the Society to visit The Old Manor - but forever Goldenhurst in the eye of the Coward faithful - for lunch and a celebration of the completed renovation of Noël’s country retreat in Kent and the publication of Julian’s novel Briefs Encountered. As Daniel Massey said once about an invitation to Noël’s for lunch, “Well, you don’t turn that down!” And we didn’t! More on the visit in this edition. The climax of the month was the opening of Star Quality - The World of Noël Coward at the Lincoln Center in New York. This exhibition has been rightly trumpeted in Home Chat for the past few editions and the result did not let the herald down. This really is an impressive achievement. As a result of an initial partnership between the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts (NYPL) and The Noël Coward Foundation (NCF) the idea was born - and together with other partners - the exhibition was created.

  • Queer Television Thesis FINAL DRAFT Amended Date and Footnotes
    Queer British Television: Policy and Practice, 1997-2007 Natalie Edwards PhD thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham School of American and Canadian Studies, January 2010 Abstract Representations of gay, lesbian, queer and other non-heterosexualities on British terrestrial television have increased exponentially since the mid 1990s. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer characters now routinely populate mainstream series, while programmes like Queer as Folk (1999-2000), Tipping the Velvet (2002), Torchwood (2006-) and Bad Girls (1999-2006) have foregrounded specifically gay and lesbian themes. This increase correlates to a number of gay-friendly changes in UK social policy pertaining to sexual behaviour and identity, changes precipitated by the election of Tony Blair’s Labour government in 1997. Focusing primarily on the decade following Blair’s installation as Prime Minister, this project examines a variety of gay, lesbian and queer-themed British television programmes in the context of their political, cultural and industrial determinants, with the goal of bridging the gap between the cultural product and the institutional factors which precipitated its creation. Ultimately, it aims to establish how and why this increase in LGBT and queer programming occurred when it did by relating it to the broader, government-sanctioned integration of gays, lesbians and queers into the imagined cultural mainstream of the UK. Unlike previous studies of lesbian, gay and queer film and television, which have tended to draw conclusions about cultural trends purely through textual analysis, this project uses government and broadcasting industry policy documents as well as detailed examination of specific television programmes to substantiate links between the cultural product and the wider world.

  • Teacher Notes: Not Just a Book, by Jeanne Willis and Tony Ross
    Teacher notes: Not Just a Book, by Jeanne Willis and Tony Ross SYNOPSIS A book is never just a book. From the dream team that is Jeanne Willis and Tony Ross comes this delightful story about one of the world’s most wonderful objects – the book. This beautiful book about books celebrates reading and the physical enjoyment of holding on to a well-loved favourite. It follows a young girl as she discovers that a book can be for reading, playing and imagining. She learns that a book could be a hat, a building block or even a flower press – the only limit is imagination. And, of course, there’s one magical thing all books can do. THEMES IN THE BOOK Not Just a Book celebrates, encourages and invites a love of books and reading for all ages. By exploring the many joys of reading – from a sleeping aid to a method of escape – this gorgeous picture book highlights the positive impact a life-long relationship with reading can provide. This book is also a delightful exploration of imagination, and the way an ordinary object can be transformed. The character in this book and her lovely cat find many uses for a book other than reading, like catching fairies, shooing away bears and using as a prop for games of make-believe. It shows students the importance of imagination and creates a link between being a reader and being a dreamer. Not Just a Book takes care to show that reading is both fun and informative. Students can experience this celebration of knowledge and discover that learning doesn’t have to be a chore.

  • St. Hilda's & St. Hugh's C. V. Starr Library & Learning Center
    St. Hilda’s & St. Hugh’s C. V. Starr Library & Learning Center Summer Reading Suggestions 2020 Entering Grade 4 Sharing Books with Older Students Here is a selection of books for you and your family to enjoy over the summer months and a few simple tips to help parents and caregivers nurture a child’s love of reading. Many of these titles can be found at your local public library (www.nypl.org). Students should try to read every day and are asked to read at least five books of their own choice during the summer months. Your teacher will provide one or two of these five books, depending on your grade. You may also want to refer to this list throughout the year when borrowing books from the school library. Make it a family value. Children are expert observers. Whether you prefer to read books, blogs, manuals or magazines, let your child see your enjoyment of your own reading. Make reading a social activity. Talk with your child about what she or he is reading or what you have read together. Start a parent-child book club or attend a book signing at your local bookstore. Which is better the book or the movie? Sometimes children will be motivated to read a book because they liked the movie. Why not listen together to Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, see the movie, and at the conclusion of the audiobook, celebrate by whipping up a dish from Dahl’s Revolting Recipes cookbook. Use the books as conversation starters and allow books to lead to other learning.
