  • 1849-1999 Chapter Four: 1924-1949
    A Picture of the Age: 1849-1999 Written by Graham Citrine to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Christ Church Chapter Four: 1924-1949 .We are now entering an age which will be within the experience of a great many of us - a time of our childhood and our youth, and therefore a time, perhaps, of real nostalgia, for these were our ‘Good Old Days’. Again, my apologies if some fondly remembered event is only mentioned briefly or not at all. The 1920’s were a time of real optimism: people really believed that the Great War was a ‘War to end all Wars’. The great powers seemed to have settled their age-old problems and differences. At Locarno in 1924 the western powers agreed to respect their frontiers (though, significantly, Germany did not accept her eastern frontiers). In 1927, the Kellogg- Briand Pact saw an agreement by all signatories never to use war as an instrument of policy. Germany was accepted into the League of Nations as an equal, and the League was seen as a real hope for a peaceful settlement of all quarrels - old enemies seemed to be making a valiant effort to understand other points of view. In the same vein, nearer at home, in 1929 the coming-of-age of the Boy Scout Movement was celebrated with a Jamboree in Arrowe Park, Birkenhead having seen the first Scout Troop in the world being formed at the YMCA in Grange Road. [(My Scout Master, John Dudleston, had been a Patrol Leader in that first troop!] Boys from every country in the world came together and it was believed that if the nations’ youth buried their differences then peace and understanding on an international scale was possible.

  • Comics and Graphic Novels Cambridge History of The
    Comics and Graphic Novels Cambridge History of the Book in Britain, Volume 7: the Twentieth Century and Beyond Mark Nixon Comics – the telling of stories by means of a sequence of pictures and, usually, words – were born in Britain in the late nineteenth century, with Ally Sloper’s Half-Holiday (Gilbert Dalziel, 1884) and subsequent imitators. These publications were a few pages long, unbound, and cheap – and intended for working-class adult readers. During the twentieth century, bound books of picture stories developed in Europe and North America, and by the end of the century had become a significant factor in British publishing and popular culture. However, British comics scholarship has been slow to develop, at least relative to continental European and North American comics scholarship, although specialist magazines such as The Comics Journal, Comics International and Book & Magazine Collector have featured articles on British comics, their publishers and creators. Towards the end of the twentieth century, the work of Martin Barker and Roger Sabin began to shed new light on certain aspects of the history of British comics, a baton now being taken up by a few scholars of British popular culture1, alongside a growing popular literature on British comics2. 1 For a recent overview, see Chapman, James British comics: a cultural history (London, 2011). 2 Perhaps the best example of this is Gravett, Paul and Stanbury, Peter Great British comics (London, 2006). By the beginning of the twentieth century, Harmsworth dominated the comics market they had entered in 1890 with Comic Cuts and Illustrated Chips. Their comics provided the template for the industry, of eight-page, tabloid-sized publications with a mixture of one-panel cartoons, picture strips and text stories, selling at 1/2d.

IN TOKEN OF PERFECT FRIENDSHIP BY THE SAME AUTHOR PILLARS OF SOCIETY PREFACE TO NEW EDITION IN the six years that have elapsed since these sketches were first published, much has happened affecting the subjects of them. Four have died, and the positions of several have undergone im- portant changes. Mr. Haldane, for example, has succeeded Lord Loreburn as Lord Chancellor, Mr. Rufus Isaacs has passed through several offices to the position of Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Chesterton has vanished from Fleet Street and has become a sort of mediaeval recluse at Beaconsfield, Prince Bulow has gone into retirement, Henry Bolingbroke, in the person of Mr. Bonar Law, has supplanted Mr. Balfour in the leadership of the Unionist party, Mr. Harcourt " no longer wheels the perambulator," and Mr. " Lloyd George has justified the reference to the key of the future." Apart from these and similar changes, there have been developments which would modify in some measure the views expressed as to certain of the subjects notably Mr. Snowden. But to have dealt with these changes would have meant re-writing the sketches and the loss of the angle of vision from which they were originally conceived. They represented a contemporaneous impression of men and conditions at a certain period the period immediately prior to the remarkable series of events that followed the intro- duction of the Budget of 1909.

  • 1 Introduction 2 a Proposed Theory and Method for the Incorporation of Comic Books As Primary Sources
    Notes 1 Introduction 1. It is common within scholarship to use the term ‘comics’ in reference to both the industry and the medium (encompassing comic books, comic strips, sequential narratives, visual narratives and graphic narratives). Syn- onymous terms have been used mainly to avoid frequent repetition of the word ‘comics’. However, it is acknowledged that ‘comic strips’ generally refer to comics that occur within newspapers while ‘comic books’ tend to be published in pamphlet form, either as anthologies or as one longer narrative. 2. A stance echoed by Carr, who also suggests that history itself is the ‘con- tinuous process of interaction between the historian and his facts’ (1961, 24). 3. For more on children’s comics in relation to the general market pre-Haselden, see Chapman (2011) and Perry and Aldridge (1975). 4. Churchill, W. The Few, House of Commons, 20 August 1940 http://www .winstonchurchill.org/learn/speeches/speeches-of-winston-churchill/1940 -finest-hour/113-the-few, accessed 13 January 2014. 5. There were clearly practical problems for wartime industries everywhere.
