    Hull History Centre: Letters to Frank Noble Wood U DX45 Letters to Frank Noble Wood 1913-1945 Biographical Background: Frank Noble Wood was a poet and member of the Hull Literary Club for fifty years, acting as President between 1918 and 1931. He published two books of verse: Songs and Strife: A Selection of poems written during the Great War (1917) and Lines written on a visit to Wilberforce House, Hull and other verses (1912). He died on 11 November 1962, aged 84. Edmund Charles Blunden, born on 1 November 1896, was an English poet, author and critic. Blunden was educated at Queen's College, Oxford and entered the army as a second lieutenant of the Royal Sussex Regiment in August 1915. He saw action in Ypres and the Somme and was awarded the Military Cross. Blunden wrote about his experiences during the First World War in both his poetry and his prose. In 1919, he left the army and began studying at Oxford until he left in 1920 to pursue a literary career. His first book of poems was published in 1920 to be followed by many other books. In 1920 he also helped edit the poems of John Clare, mostly from Clare's manuscripts. Blunden was a prolific writer and he published numerous works between 1914 and 1967. Initially unable to support himself as a full-time writer, in 1924 he accepted the post of Professor of English at the University of Tokyo.

Paul Fussell, in his The Great War and Modern Memory (1975), dwells extensively on the perhaps unrivaled role of literature in this “war that will end war” (H.G. Wells). The British soldier, whether the officer out of Sandhurst or Cambridge, or the common soldier from the laboring classes, brought to the trenches of France and Belgium a literary background born of the liberal belief in the powers of education both in the classics and in the canon of English literature.

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction JAN MONTEFIORE Cities and Th rones and Powers Stand in Time’s eye Almost as long as fl owers 1 Which daily die. ipling’s brief elegy for the vanity of human deeds brings together three K themes of this collection of essays: the subjection of his own work and reputation to those processes of time and change of which his poem warns; his relationship to historical institutions of rule and dominance named as ‘Th rones and Powers’; and his many-sided artistry, manifested in this ironic vision of the fall of ancient empires mediated through echoes of Milton and Herrick.2 An account of Kipling ‘in Time’s eye’ necessarily begins with the changes in his reception, here represented in capsule form by the fi rst three essays from G.K. Chesterton (1905), George Orwell (1942) and Randall Jarrell (1961). His reputation has been notoriously changeable since he arrived in London in 1890 as the young genius from India who in one year had had ‘more said about his work, over a wider extent of the world’s surface, than some of the greatest of England’s writers in their whole lives’,3 in 1895 was sounded out as a possible successor to Tennyson as Poet Laureate,4 and whose near-death from pneumonia in 1899 was headline news in three continents. Praise was never undiluted: his ‘vulgarity’ was mocked by Oscar Wilde and attacked by Robert Buchanan and, more devastatingly, Max Beerbohm;5 and as Kipling’s imperialist opinions became more strident after the Boer War he lost the 9780719090172_C01.indd 1 11/10/13 12:02 PM 2 In Time’s eye esteem of British literary intellectuals, whom he in turn despised (his close friends included no fellow writer except Rider Haggard, author of thrillingly mythopoeic imperialist fantasy novels).

  • Edmund Blunden, Undertones of War1
    War, literature and the arts 20th anniversary commentary by THOMAS G. BOWIe, Jr. “Haunted ever by war’s agony”: Edmund Blunden, Undertones of War 1 ’ve been thinking a lot about the agony of war lately. Are you haunted by it as well? After over 30 years in uniform, I’ve donned the tweed of academe and settled into a teaching position in a small liberal arts college. But Iwar’s agony has followed me even here. For the past several years I’ve been working with the Regis Center for the Study of War Experience, teaching a course each spring called “Stories from Wartime” to 50 or 60 undergraduates. But the students are only the official reason we teach such a course—one that’s open to the public, one taught in the largest classroom on our northwest Denver campus, one filled to capacity every Tuesday evening, one overflowing week after week, one that we’ve begun streaming via the internet to a worldwide audience. Why such interest? Each week we invite a small panel of veterans to tell their stories, to share their experiences, to give our students and our guests a glimpse of the personal agonies associated with their wartime experiences. Phil Antonelli might be sharing his trek across Europe with Patton’s 3rd Army, and then end of with the haunting tale of what it was like to liberate one of Hitler’s death camps. Or perhaps Joe Sakato is telling his story, a second-generation Japanese American who enlisted in the Army from just outside an internment camp in Arizona (need I add that they lost the family store and home in California?) so that he too could fight his way across Europe with the 442nd “Go For Broke” Regimental Combat Team, so that he could prove he was a “real” American.

Campbell Grade Anita Sauckel júní 2019 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Víkinga- og miðaldafræðum Sign Language Mjöllnir artefacts as nonverbal communication: a sociological perspective. Ritgerð til M.A.-prófs í víkinga- og miðaldafræðum Campbell Grade Kt.: 280895-3509 Leiðbeinandi: Anita Sauckel júni 2019 Ágrip Þorshamrar eru frekar venjulegir smíðisgripir frá Skandinavíu á víkingaöld. Á sama tíma voru að vísu líka kristilegir krossar til, sem að þessu leyti hefur haft áhrif á túlkun þorshamrana. Þessi ritgerð ætlar að efla notkun félagsfræðilegra kenninga í rannsókn á Þorshömrum, en markmið með því er að auka innsýn okkar inn í hlutverk skartgripa í samfélaginu á víkingaöld. Notaðar verður m. a. kenningar symbolic captial og impression management, en einnig verður rætt um dýrkun Þórs í samhengi við Mjölni, og þá verður líka tekið tillit til rannsóknar í fornleifafræði. Skoðun mín er í stuttu máli sú að þessir skartgripir snéru sér ekki til þeirra sem báru þá, heldur til annarra persóna í samfélaginu sem voru í samskipti við eigendur slíkra hamra. 1 Abstract Mjöllnir pendants and rings are common artefacts from Viking Age Scandinavia, but which also overlap with the creation of Christian crosses in the same areas which therefore have influenced the interpretation of the function of the Mjöllnir emulations. I would like to propose that sociology could offer insight into their function during this period as well as the relationship between material culture and social structure. I use a combination of several sociological theories including impression management and symbolic capital to explain the motivations behind the miniature hammers.

  • The Poems of Catullus As They Went to the Printer for the first Time, in Venice 400 Years Ago
    1.Catullus, Poems 1/12/05 2:52 PM Page 1 INTRODUCTION LIFE AND BACKGROUND We know very little for certain about Catullus himself, and most of that has to be extrapolated from his own work, always a risky procedure, and nowadays with the full weight of critical opinion against it (though this is always mutable, and there are signs of change in the air). On the other hand, we know a great deal about the last century of the Roman Republic, in which his short but intense life was spent, and about many of the public figures, both literary and political, whom he counted among his friends and enemies. Like Byron, whom in ways he resembled, he moved in fashionable circles, was radical without being constructively political, and wrote poetry that gives the overwhelming impression of being generated by the public aªairs, literary fashions, and aristocratic private scandals of the day. How far all these were fictionalized in his poetry we shall never know, but that they were pure invention is unlikely in the extreme: what need to make up stories when there was so much splendid material to hand? Obviously we can’t take what Catullus writes about Caesar or Mamurra at face value, any more than we can By- ron’s portraits of George III and Southey in “The Vision of Judgement,” or Dry- den’s of James II and the Duke of Buckingham in “Absalom and Achitophel.” Yet it would be hard to deny that in every case the poetic version contained more than a grain of truth.
