  • MEMORIAL TEXT NARRATIVES in BRITAIN C.1890-1930
    MEMORIAL TEXT NARRATIVES IN BRITAIN c.1890-1930 by SONIA LETITIA BATTEN A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Medieval and Modern History School of Historical Studies The University of Birmingham March 2011 ABSTRACT This thesis seeks to explore the memorial texts that developed as a result of the First World War, composed primarily by those whose sons, husbands and fathers had died between 1914 and 1918. Visitors to the military cemeteries of the First World War are interested to read the inscriptions left by the bereaved at the foot of individual headstones, yet this aspect of post-war commemoration is still largely unexplored. This thesis seeks to explore these responses: by considering the process through which the bereaved were permitted to select inscriptions, the sources from which they derived consolation, and the narratives that they pursued throughout the post-war period to 1930. Parallel to these permanent headstone inscriptions are considered the ephemeral commemoration of the newspaper in memoriam column, a source of material that has received scant attention but which promises a rich glimpse into the conventions of early-twentieth-century mourning – conventions which are still resonant almost a century after the First World War broke out. To contextualise post- war responses, the thesis introduces commemorative practices used to remember those who died in the South African War and in the sinking of the Titanic, many of which were used again in the aftermath of 1918. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the following individuals and members of the following institutions for their help and advice.

  • The Lay of the Land: English Landscape Themes in Early Modern Painting in England
    The Lay of the Land: English Landscape Themes in Early Modern Painting in England Barbara Lou Budnick A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Christine Goettler, Chair Estelle C. Lingo Susan P. Casteras Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Art History ©Copyright 2017 Barbara Lou Budnick University of Washington Abstract The Lay of the Land: English Landscape Themes in Early Modern Painting in England Barbara Lou Budnick Chair of Supervisory Committee: Professor Christine Goettler Art History Landscape paintings generally offer a far and wide view of external world, including all parts of the built and natural environment that pass before the eye. As a genre in England, landscape painting arose slowly in the second decade of the seventeenth century, portraying royal palaces and their prosperous environs along the Thames. This dissertation examines the development of an English landscape iconography based on property, both real and intellectual. I argue that during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries traditional English hierarchies of ownership were combined with new concepts of achievement to reimagine exclusive rights. To analyze visual works within an early modern context, I draw on a range of late sixteenth- to late eighteenth-century written sources, including diaries, journals, private correspondence, public rolls, personal account ledgers, periodicals, poetry, histories, travel texts, and scientific works, as well as economic, political, and aesthetic treatises. Such a broad literature of source material is interdisciplinary and situates landscape imagery in its historical period. Similarities and differences in verbal and visual representations reveal how concepts of knowledge changed throughout the period: just as contemporary manuscripts and printed texts celebrated increasing concentrations of riches and innovative technologies, landscapes depicted larger properties, advances in science, and recent sources of prosperity.
