It begins very much in the vein of a domestic tragedy, with a tight-knit, bourgeois family group discussing their concerns about money, work, and the suitability or otherwise of a recently contracted marriage alliance - Inga- Stina Ewbank comments that 'the themes of the play are the favourite domestic and social ones of love, money and class' (Ewbank 1969, 197). By the end, it has been transformed almost beyond recognition: the two most obviously middle-class ofthe characters, Leantio and his mother, have both disappeared from the story,one of them dead and the other simply forgotten about, and the domestic setting has given place to a courtly one, where the most elaborate of elite entertainments, complete with complex special effects and arcane mythological and allegorical resonances, rounds off the play with a spectacularly artificial finale.

    SW00121 & SW00122 CHANGELING by angela forrest THE LAST TRAIN by val ormrod CHANGELING by Angela Forrest September, 2015 He isnae mine, hasnae been for twelve years. I know that now. It took a good long while tae admit it and I’ve tried tae make up for lost time, for a’ the years I dithered about whether or not it wis true. These last few years especially I’ve done ma best, done right by Lorna and wee Olivia even if they couldnae understand. They don’t know whit he is. They don’t know Bradley left us a long time ago, that day in the woods. September, 2003 This is ma favourite place. The way the trees come crowing up tae the shore of the loch, closing us in tae our own wee private beach: ye cannae beat it. Lorna’s minding the baby, letting her roll around on the picnic blanket among the half-chewed cheese and ham pieces. She’s still a stunner, my Lorna, even after having two weans. Run ragged looking after them, so she is, but ye’d never know it looking at her. She’s kept her hair long and bonny, not like a lot of they mum’s I see at the school gates. I catch her eye and she gies me a wink and a smile, holding up Olivia’s wee hand to wave at me. I wave back at ma girls and have a check in with ma boy. He’s near enough up tae my waist now. He’s trying tae skip stones across the water but they’re landing wi’ splattering plops.

After the ‘discovery’ of African pygmies in the 1860s, little people became a powerful way of imaginatively connecting to an inconceivably distant past, and the place of humans within it. Little people in fin de siècle narratives have been commonly interpreted as atavistic, stunted warnings of biological reversion. I suggest that there are other readings available: by deploying two nineteenth-century anthropological theories – E. B. Tylor’s doctrine of ‘survivals’, and euhemerism, a model proposing that the mythology surrounding fairies was based on the existence of real ‘little people’ – they can also be read as positive symbols of the tenacity of the human spirit, and as offering access to a sacred, spiritual, or magic, world.

In the Automatic one receives the impression of accomplished hands playing the keys. “Mechanical touch” has disappeared. It reproduces the interpreta¬ tions of the great artists as they themselves played that particular music. A new and wonderful invention The AccompanO enables one to regulate and phrase the music from a distance. As shown in the illustration, the singer is playing her own accompaniment. With very little practice the accompaniment can be played in this manner with far better effects than if played by hand.

  • Fiestas and Fervor: Religious Life and Catholic Enlightenment in the Diocese of Barcelona, 1766-1775
    FIESTAS AND FERVOR: RELIGIOUS LIFE AND CATHOLIC ENLIGHTENMENT IN THE DIOCESE OF BARCELONA, 1766-1775 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrea J. Smidt, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Dale K. Van Kley, Adviser Professor N. Geoffrey Parker Professor Kenneth J. Andrien ____________________ Adviser History Graduate Program ABSTRACT The Enlightenment, or the "Age of Reason," had a profound impact on eighteenth-century Europe, especially on its religion, producing both outright atheism and powerful movements of religious reform within the Church. The former—culminating in the French Revolution—has attracted many scholars; the latter has been relatively neglected. By looking at "enlightened" attempts to reform popular religious practices in Spain, my project examines the religious fervor of people whose story usually escapes historical attention. "Fiestas and Fervor" reveals the capacity of the Enlightenment to reform the Catholicism of ordinary Spaniards, examining how enlightened or Reform Catholicism affected popular piety in the diocese of Barcelona. This study focuses on the efforts of an exceptional figure of Reform Catholicism and Enlightenment Spain—Josep Climent i Avinent, Bishop of Barcelona from 1766- 1775. The program of “Enlightenment” as sponsored by the Spanish monarchy was one that did not question the Catholic faith and that championed economic progress and the advancement of the sciences, primarily benefiting the elite of Spanish society. In this context, Climent is noteworthy not only because his idea of “Catholic Enlightenment” opposed that sponsored by the Spanish monarchy but also because his was one that implicitly condemned the present hierarchy of the Catholic Church and explicitly ii advocated popular enlightenment and the creation of a more independent “public sphere” in Spain by means of increased literacy and education of the masses.

  • The New Changeling 1 Leaders: Gordon Mcmullan, King’S College London Kelly Stage, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
    2018 SAA Seminar: The New Changeling 1 Leaders: Gordon McMullan, King’s College London Kelly Stage, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Seminar Respondent: Professor Suzanne Gossett, Loyola University Chicago Seminar summary It is ten years since the publication of Gary Taylor and John Lavagnino’s landmark Oxford Middleton edition – time, we feel, for reflection on the impact of the edition and of other recent developments in Middleton studies, as well as in early modern drama more generally, on the study and teaching of The Changeling, the most frequently taught play in the Middleton canon and thus a valuable test case. Our working premise is that critical fields, especially in respect of plays prominent in the teaching canon, tend to change more glacially than we might wish, and our plan for the seminar is to assess the current state of play in Changeling studies. We aim to provoke new work in light of developments over the last decade, both those prompted by the Oxford edition and those that are freestanding by virtue of being under way before 2007. The former include Annabel Patterson’s elegant introduction to the Oxford edition and a range of related engagements with the play by, e.g., Tanya Pollard, Michael Neill, Carol Thomas Neely, Courtney Lehmann, Pascale Aebischer and Barbara Ravelhofer, as well, most recently, as essays by Jay Zysk, Brad Ryner and Jennifer Panek rethinking issues of embodiment, sexuality and religion that were hallmarks of an earlier phase of Changeling criticism. The latter include, inter alia, David Nicol’s Middleton & Rowley (2012), which directly addresses the collaborative nature of the play and throws down the gauntlet to critics' persistent tendency to ignore collaboration or downplay the scenes thought to be Rowley’s.

Chapter 2: Birthrights, Frailties, Boons, Flaws Chapter 3: Merits and Flaws Chapter 4: Realms Chapter 5: Arts Chapter 6: Bunks Chapter 7: Treasures and Inanimate Chimera Chapter 8: New Art Guidelines Chapter 9: Legendary Magic 1 Introduction: Unlike Werewolf and Vampire, Changeling received little in the way of Revised support and never received updated rules from the original printing. The two LARP books (Shining Host and the Shining Host Players Guide) stand among the most confusing and poorly written texts among MET regarding mechanics. The goal of this packet is to serve as a revised set of rules for Changeling-specific mechanics to be used as a baseline for the Org. While it is non-binding, it is strongly recommended that games wishing to employ changelings (either as prime genre or in addition to other genres) use these rules *particularly in regards to Arts and Realms* as a baseline, employing perhaps limited house rules from there. This packet includes many house rules and translations from various games around the org (borrowed with permission) and is by no means a singular effort. It also includes several optional rules for chronicles to customize their preferences, as well as frequently requested guidelines for things like adjudicating treasures. Finally, it also includes some original content for games to use if they so wish. Throughout the work, the author will seek to describe the reasons behind the material presented and the philosophy governing the recommendations. Chapter 1: Tempers, Seemings, Traits, Etc. Traits and tempers are among the most significant aspects of any MET rules set.
