THESIS INTRODUCTION The picture of themselves which the Victorians have handed down to us is of a people who valued morality and respectability, and, perhaps, valued the appearance of it as much as the reality. Perhaps the pursuit of the latter furthered the achievement of the former. They also valued the technological achievements and the revolution in mobility that they witnessed and substantially brought about. Not least did they value the imperial power, formal and informal, that they came to wield over vast tracts of the globe. The intention of the following study is to take these three broad themes which, in the national consciousness, are synonymous with the Victorian age, and examine their applicability to the contemporary theatre, its practitioners, and its audiences. Any capacity to undertake such an investigation rests on the reading for a Bachelor’s degree in History at Warwick, obtained when the University was still abuilding, and an innate if undisciplined attachment to things theatrical, fostered by an elder brother and sister. Such an attachment, to those who share it, will require no elaboration. My special interest will lie in observing how a given theme operated at a particular or local level.

Rather it suggeststhat a number of significant poets emerged in the period who represent an ongoing clearly Scottish tradition, characterised by protean identities and eccentricity, which leads on to MacDiarmid and the `Scottish Renaissance'of the twentieth century. The work of the poets in question is thus seen as marked by recurring linguistic, stylistic and thematic eccentricities which are often radical and subversive.

  • Barbara Allen
    120 Charles Seeger Versions and Variants of the Tunes of "Barbara Allen" As sung in traditional singing styles in the United States and recorded by field collectors who have deposited their discs and tapes in the Archive of American Folk Song in the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. AFS L 54 Edited by Charles Seeger PROBABLY IT IS safe to say that most English-speaking people in the United States know at least one ballad-tune or a derivative of one. If it is not "The Two Sisters, " it will surely be "When Johnny Comes Marching Home"; or if not "The Derby Ram, " then the old Broadway hit "Oh Didn't He Ramble." If. the title is given or the song sung to them, they will say "Oh yes, I know tllat tune." And probably that tune, more or less as they know it, is to them, the tune of the song. If they hear it sung differently, as may be the case, they are as likely to protest as to ignore or even not notice the difference. Afterward, in their recognition or singing of it, they are as likely to incor­ porate some of the differences as not to do so. If they do, they are as likely to be aware as to be entirely unconscious of having done ·so. But if they ad­ mit the difference yet grant that both singings are of "that" tune, they have taken the first step toward the study of the ballad-tune. They have acknow­ ledged that there are enough resemblances between the two to allow both to be called by the same name.

Speer Byron and the Scottish Literary 1radition It has been over forty years since T. S. Eliot proposed that we consider Byron as a Scottish poet. 1 Since then, anthologies of Scottish verse and histories of Scottish literature seldom neglect to mention, though always cursorily, Byron's rightful place in them. The anthologies typically make brief reference to Byron and explain that his work is so readily available else­ where it need be included in short samples or not at al1.2 An historian of the Scots tradition argues for Byron's Scottish­ ness but of course cannot treat a writer who did not use Scots. 3 This position at least disagrees with Edwin Muir's earlier ar­ gument that with the late eighteenth century passing of Scots from everyday to merely literary use, a Scottish literature of greatness had passed away.4 Kurt

  • Bury St Edmunds Walking Tour Final
    Discovering Bury St Edmunds: A Walking Guide A step by step walking guide to Bury St Edmunds; estimated walking time: 2 hours Originally published: http://www.burystedmunds.co.uk/bury-st-edmunds-walk.html Bury St Edmunds is a picturesque market town steeped in history. Starting in the Ram Meadow car park, the following walk takes you on a circular route past the town's main sights and shops, with a few curios thrown in for good measure. At a leisurely pace it should take approximately 2 hours to complete. Bury St Edmunds car parks charge every day of the week, but are cheaper on Sundays. There are public toilets at the car park. A market takes over the centre of town every Wednesday and Saturday throughout the year. Abbot's Bridge From the car park, face the cathedral tower in the distance, and head through the courtyard of the Fox pub and out on to Mustow Street. Cross the road and turn right to find Abbot's Bridge, which dates back to the 12th century, and originally linked Eastgate Street with the Abbey's vineyard on the opposite bank of the river Lark. Beside this, you can still see the Keeper's cell, from which he would have operated the portcullis which protected the Abbey from unwanted visitors. The Aviary A little further along Mustow Street, enter the Abbey gardens on your left. The information board in front of you includes the current opening hours of the Abbey grounds, which vary with the changing seasons. Head straight up the path, and fork right at the first opportunity, you will find the aviary, and beyond this duck under the archway to enter the sensory garden.

  • 812 SERJEANT BALLANTINE an Advocate May Have Little Black Letter
    812 SERJEANT BALLANTINE An advocate may have little black letter learning, and yet he may scale the heights of his profession, if he can lay bare the human heart and read its secrets. Serjeant Ballantine-the genial cynic of the law-is a case in point. Ballantine made no bones of his lack o£ legal scholarship. He boasted that he knew a little of everything but law. Nor was his boast an idle one. He was innocent of many of the elementary principles of law, yet few advocates were better verdict-getters than he. His success lay in his ability to read a witness's mind, and determine the motives of his conduct, almost at a glance. His knowledge of human nature, of men and women, their mode of life and their way of thought, was phenomenal. If an advocate goes off on the wrong tack, the truth will out. No other professional man runs the same risk of having his ignorance exposed, his errors brought to light. The doctor can cover up his mistakes, the clergyman holds an ex parte brief, the teacher is an autocrat whose word there is none to dispute; but the barrister works in the open, subject to opposition at every turn. He does not have the floor to himself, but shares it with a brother barrister who gives the other side of the picture. If he does not know his case, that fact soon becomes obvious. If he is incompetent, the truth soon proclaims itself. Serjeant Ballantine often found himself in a tight corner in court, but no one was better than he at covering up his own deficiencies .
