  • Engineering Men: Masculinity, the Royal Navy, and The
    ENGINEERING MEN: MASCULINITY, THE ROYAL NAVY, AND THE SELBORNE SCHEME by © Edward Dodd A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of History Memorial University of Newfoundland October 2015 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador ABSTRACT This thesis uses R.W. Connell’s hegemonic masculinity to critically examine the “Selborne Scheme” of 1902, specifically the changes made to naval engineers in relation to the executive officers of the late-Victorian and Edwardian Royal Navy. Unlike the few historians who have studied the scheme, my research attends to the role of masculinity, and the closely-related social structures of class and race, in the decisions made by Lord Selborne and Admiral John Fisher. I suggest that the reform scheme was heavily influenced by a “cultural imaginary of British masculinity” created in novels, newspapers, and Parliamentary discourse, especially by discontented naval engineers who wanted greater authority and respect within the Royal Navy. The goal of the scheme was to ensure that men commanding the navy were considered to have legitimate authority first and foremost because they were the “best” of British manhood. This goal required the navy to come to terms with rapidly changing naval technology, a renewed emphasis on the importance of the role of the navy in Britain’s empire, and the increasing numbers of non-white seamen in the British merchant marine. Key Words: Masculinity, Royal Navy, Edwardian, Victorian, Naval Engineers, Selborne Scheme, cultural imaginary, British Empire. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to the staff at the National Archives in London who were extremely friendly and helpful, especially Janet Dempsey for showing me around on my first visit.

Bonilla Romance: The Emulation of Empire This dissertation offers a symptomatic reading of romance and explores the ideological force of the genre’s chiastic structure. The trajectory of this project follows the temporal and spatial migration of romance from the colonial context of early seventeenth England, beginning with William Shakespeare’s The Tempest, then enters the American post-revolutionary context of the early and late nineteenth century with James Fennimore Cooper’s The Pioneers, Herman Melville’s “Benito Cereno,” and ends with Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton’s The Squatter and the Don. This study examines the contradictory narrative desires within romance.

  • Napoleon Andrew Roberts Reviewed by Robert Schmidt
    Napoleon Andrew Roberts Reviewed by Robert Schmidt About the Author Andrew Roberts is a British author who graduated with honors from Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge and is presently a visiting professor in the War Studies Department at Kings College, London. He has written or edited 19 books which have been translated in 22 languages and appears on radio and television around the world. About the Book There have been many books about Napoleon, but Andrew Roberts’ single-volume biography is the first to make full use of the ongoing French publication of Napoleon’s 33,000 letters. Seemingly leaving no stone unturned, Roberts begins in Corsica in 1769, pointing to Napoleon’s roots on that island—and a resulting fascination with the Roman Empire—as an early indicator of what history might hold for the boy. Napoleon’s upbringing—from his roots, to his penchant for holing up and reading about classic wars, to his education in France, all seemed to point in one direction—and by the time he was 24, he was a French general. Though he would be dead by fifty one, it was only the beginning of what he would accomplish. Although Napoleon: A Life is 800 pages long, it is both enjoyable and illuminating. Napoleon comes across as whip smart, well-studied, ambitious to a fault, a little awkward, and perhaps most importantly, a man who could turn on the charm when he needed to. Through his portrait, Roberts seems to be arguing two things: that Napoleon was far more than just a complex soldier, and that his contributions to the world greatly surpassed those of the evil dictators that some compare him to.

The island, originally two small marshes, was developed during the mid-1920s by David P. Davis, who had made his fortune selling Miami real estate. By 1929, after Davis’s death and the collapse of the Florida land boom, most construction on the island had ceased, not to resume until the late 1930s.

    INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS GROUP Spring 2009 INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS GROUP – SPRING 2009 New Titles The dangerous book for grown-up boys Absinthe & Flamethrowers Projects and Ruminations on the Art of Living Dangerously William Gurstelle • Co-op available • Advertising in Make, ReadyMade, and Mental_floss • Author’s previous books sold more than 300,000 copies Written for reasonable risk takers and suburban dads who want to add more excitement to their lives, this daring combination of sci- ence, history, and DIY projects explains why danger is good for you and details the art of living dangerously. All of the projects—from throwing knives, drinking absinthe, and eating fugu to cracking a bullwhip, learning bartitsu, and building a flamethrower—have short learning curves; are human-focused, as opposed to technology- centric; are affordable; and demonstrate true but reasonable risk. The guide maintains that risk takers are more successful, more inter- esting individuals who lead more fulfilling lives. What would the world be like if Thomas Edison retired after 30 years working for the railroad, it asks, instead of getting fired for blowing up a rail car with one of his experiments? Though the manual doesn’t advocate getting fired, it does reveal that making black powder is pure excite- ment. Unlike watching an action movie or playing a video game, real, edgy life experience changes a person. Each potentially life- altering project includes step-by-step directions and illustrations along with sidebar tips from experts in the field. William Gurstelle is a professional engineer who has been research- ing and building model catapults and ballistic devices for more than 30 years.
