  • A Horse: Macdonald's Theodicy in at the Back of the North Wind
    32 Stott This is (Not) a Horse: MacDonald’s Theodicy in At the Back of the North Wind G. St. John Stott I George MacDonald insisted in his essay “The Fantastic Imagination” that the meaning of a work should be evident to its readers. He did not mean by this that there was only one meaning to a text, or that the author’s intent in writing was privileged, but that if a reader could not make any sense of what was written and the author had to step in, something had gone wrong. Under such circumstances commentary was a mistake. As he noted, using a simple analogy, “[I]f I cannot draw a horse, I will not write THIS IS A HORSE under what I foolishly meant for one” (LP xii). We might remember this when we read in At the Back of the North Wind (1871) a conversation between what might (or might not be) two cab horses: Diamond and Ruby. It is a puzzling scene which MacDonald refuses to make clear. Cab horse conversations can be easy to understand. In Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty (1877), a work that was perhaps written as a response to At the Back of the North Wind,1 the eponymous Beauty discusses with Captain (a former army horse) the latter’s experiences in the Crimea: I said, ‘I have heard people talk about war as if it was a very fine thing.’ ‘Ah!’ said he, ‘I should think they never saw it. No doubt it is very fine when there is no enemy, when it is just exercise and parade and sham fight.

  • The Spiritual Impact of the Religious Tract Society
    THE SPIRITUAL IMPACT OF THE RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY. A Preliminary Survey of the History of the Religious Tract Society, Founded in London, 1799, and of its Spiritual Impact. Introduction. Good quality literature has always been an important feature in the strength and propagation of heart-felt Christianity since the invention of printing in Europe, and there have been certain special times when literature has played an outstanding role in the life of the Church. For example, the impact of Martin Luther in Germany was greatly increased by the spread of his various writings, and especially by his translation of the New Testament in the vernacular. Professor Lindsay says that the “Reformation movement may almost be said to have created the German book trade.” 1 The number of books which were published in Germany before 1518 was very few, and they were not of any great importance. From 1518 to 1521 there was a sudden increase which was created by Luther almost alone, mainly in the form of sermons, tracts and controversial writings. After that he had many disciples, who also wrote and published, and the total figures increased steeply. Luther’s translation of the New Testament appeared in September, 1522. The translation had been completed in only eleven weeks. Other translations had previously been made by other people, all based upon Saint Jerome’s Latin Vulgate. But in 1516, Erasmus had published a Greek New Testament, and Luther used this, translating it into the official German of the Saxon chancery, rather than into his own colloquial Saxon dialect. In this way “he helped create a standard German for all Germany.” Five thousand copies were sold in two months, and two hundred thousand copies in twelve years.

  • English Women and the Late-Nineteenth Century Open Space Movement
    English Women and the Late-Nineteenth Century Open Space Movement Robyn M. Curtis August 2016 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Australian National University Thesis Certification I declare that this thesis, submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the award of Doctor of Philosophy, in the School of History at the Australian National University, is wholly my own original work unless otherwise referenced or acknowledged and has not been submitted for qualifications at any other academic institution. Robyn M. Curtis Date …………………… ………………… Abstract During the second half of the nineteenth century, England became the most industrialised and urbanised nation on earth. An expanding population and growing manufacturing drove development on any available space. Yet this same period saw the origins of a movement that would lead to the preservation and creation of green open spaces across the country. Beginning in 1865, social reforming groups sought to stop the sale and development of open spaces near metropolitan centres. Over the next thirty years, new national organisations worked to protect and develop a variety of open spaces around the country. In the process, participants challenged traditional land ownership, class obligations and gender roles. There has been very little scholarship examining the work of the open space organisations; nor has there been any previous analysis of the specific membership demographics of these important groups. This thesis documents and examines the four organisations that formed the heart of the open space movement (the Commons Preservation Society, the Kyrle Society, the Metropolitan Public Gardens Association and the National Trust). It demonstrates connections between philanthropy, gender and space that have not been explored previously.
