  • Anglo-Saxon Sculpture and Rome: Perspectives and Interpretations
    258 CHAPTER 6 Anglo-Saxon Sculpture and Rome: Perspectives and Interpretations Having seen the many and varied ways in which early Christian Anglo-Saxon architecture could articulate ideas of 'Rome', this chapter will turn to review the other public art form of the Anglo-Saxon landscape, the stone sculpture, to consider also its relationship with concepts of ‘Romanness’. This is an aspect that has emerged – more or less tangentially – from other scholarly analyses of the material, but it has not been used as a common denominator to interpret and understand Anglo-Saxon sculpture in its own right. In the course of the twentieth century, scholars from different disciplines have developed research questions often strictly related to their own circumstantial agendas or concerns when discussing this kind of material, and this has tended to affect and limit the information that could be gained. It is only recently that some more interdisciplinary approaches have been suggested which provide a fuller understanding of the artistic and cultural achievement conveyed through Anglo-Saxon sculpture. 6.1 The scholarship 6.1 a) Typology and Style1 Any discussion of Anglo-Saxon sculpture opens with an account of the work of W.G. Collingwood (1854-1932) 2 and the impact that it has had on the development of subsequent studies.3 As such, he is generally considered to have 1 For a recent and full discussion on the subject see the forthcoming work by A. Denton, An Anglo-Saxon Theory of Style: motif, mode and meaning in the art of eighth-century Northumbria (PhD, York, 2011); I am grateful to her for the chance of reading and discussing her work.

  • 1997, Moving to Market-Driven Esas
    MOVING TO MARKET-DRIVEN ESAs by Edward T. Frye, Ph.D. Executive Director Capital Area Intermediate Unit Summerdale, PA WHEN YOUR WORLD TURNS “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” -- Yogi Berra Economic, educational, and political realities are causing upheaval in educational service agencies. Nationwide, ESAs are being eliminated, downsized, or underfunded. Where this has not happened, threats loom. Few ESAs are impervious to the winds of change. Pennsylvania is certainly a case in point. Five years ago intermediate units (IUs) were the well fed of the educational infrastructure. Quietly, we did what we do best, and we steered our own course. Financing was adequate because we simply back-charged districts for their basic special education subsidy, and, since that was never enough, we sent the rest of the bill -- called “excess cost” -- to the state. Ah, the good old days. But August, 1992 changed all that. With immediate effect all state special education funds were directed to local districts. More importantly, excess costs were eliminated so the state could determine just once a year the funding it could or would provide special education. If districts needed more, they could get it the old fashioned way -- raise local taxes, a power that Pennsylvania intermediate units do not possess. The state’s financial obligation for soaring special education programs was now capped. Districts were now encouraged to look to new ways to offer fiscally-capped, quality special needs programming. They were free to pick from at least three providers: themselves, their regional intermediate unit, or any other public or private agency.
