  • THE RED RECORD: TABULATED STATISTICS and ALLEGED CAUSES of LYNCHING in the UNITED STATES (1895) by Ida B
    THE RED RECORD: TABULATED STATISTICS AND ALLEGED CAUSES OF LYNCHING IN THE UNITED STATES (1895) By Ida B. Wells-Barnett PREFACE HON. FREDERICK DOUGLASS’S LETTER: DEAR MISS WELLS: Let me give you thanks for your faithful paper on the lynch abomination now generally practiced against colored people in the South. There has been no word equal to it in convincing power. I have spoken, but my word is feeble in comparison. You give us what you know and testify from actual knowledge. You have dealt with the facts with cool, painstaking fidelity, and left those naked and uncontradicted facts to speak for themselves. Brave woman! you have done your people and mine a service which can neither be weighed nor measured. If the American conscience were only half alive, if the American church and clergy were only half Christianized, if American moral sensibility were not hardened by persistent infliction of outrage and crime against colored people, a scream of horror, shame, and indignation would rise to Heaven wherever your pamphlet shall be read. But alas! even crime has power to reproduce itself and create conditions favorable to its own existence. It sometimes seems we are deserted by earth and Heaven--yet we must still think, speak and work, and trust in the power of a merciful God for final deliverance. Very truly and gratefully yours, FREDERICK DOUGLASS Cedar Hill, Anacostia, D.C.

From the outset, his overriding concern was to open up the arts and education to everyone, but particularly to young people. In 1987, he established the Paul Hamlyn Foundation for general charitable purposes. Since then, we have continuously supported charitable activity in the areas of the arts, education and learning and social justice in the UK, enabling individuals, especially children and young people, to experience a better quality of life. We also support local charities in India that help the poorest communities in that country gain access to basic services. Paul Hamlyn died in August 2001, but the magnificent bequest of most of his estate to the Foundation enabled us to build on our past approaches. Mission To maximise opportunities for individuals and communities to realise their potential and to experience and enjoy a better quality of life, now and in the future.

Identities that are performed and mediated through a relationship between flmmaker and participant are examined with detailed reference to two decades of my own practice. A refexive, feminist approach engages my own flms - and the relationships that produced them - in analysis of the ethical potholes and emotional challenges in representing others on TV. The trigger for this research was the furiously angry reaction of the One Direction fandom to my representation of them in Crazy About One Direction (Channel 4, 2013). This offered an opportunity to investigate the potential for shame in documentary; a loud and clear case study of flmed participants using social media to contest their image on screen.

McDougall Lu Xun did not travel outside China except during his student days when he lived for seven years in Japan. His knowledge of Japanese and German nevertheless enabled him to embrace the literary cultures of the West and Japan, both in their contemporary and older traditions: his outlook was cosmopolitan. In translating his essays (more so than his fction) the translator can trace his intellectual journeys across the world. In this short essay I have attempted to demonstrate one episode of such travels, showing how, even beyond Lu Xun’s own knowing, his translator must perform their own trajectories. One of Lu Xun’s most famous essays is ‘What Happens afer Nora Walks Out’, based on a talk given to the Literature and Arts Society at Beijing Women’s Normal College, 26 December 1923. If the young female audience addressed by Lu Xun had ambitions to make their own careers, they faced barriers that may well have seemed insurmountable: apart from teaching, what was open to them to be independent and earn their livelihood? For one student in the audience contemplating a future as a teacher, the talk inspired deep respect for the author.

    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research has been a lengthy and complex process. We have always stated publicly that this work was for the dance field and it has been carried out in collaboration with the field. We have had support from so many people throughout the process and without this we could not have completed the work. Firstly, we would like to thank Janet Archer, Theresa Beattie, Ellie Hartwell and Tania Wilmer in the dance strategy department of Arts Council England. Without their support this work would not have been possible. Tania Wilmer carried out many of the interviews for the illustrations that pepper the report and we are immensely grateful to her for her rigour and hard work. We are also grateful to those who agreed to be interviewed and gave so generously of their time. There were many Arts Council staff who sourced and contributed data but Jonathan Treadway, Amanda Rigali, Delia Barker and Rebecca Dawson deserve special mention. Regional dance officers provided valuable local data and information and their input through the Dance Practice Group meetings was always valuable. Terry Adams and Claire Cowles (the ‘Survey Monkey’ queen) provided invaluable research backup to us throughout the process and their rigour is evident in the survey data as well as in the analysis of the Arts Council England data. The Steering Group (listed in Appendix One) supported the process, guided us wisely and challenged us when necessary. Their support for the consultation events was also greatly valued. The strategic agencies provided ongoing access to data, Foundation for Community Dance (FCD) staff carried out an analysis of jobs advertised and Sean Williams and his team at Council for Dance Education and Training (CDET) carried out research on the private sector for us that has helped to create a better picture of this sector.

    01_INTRO 7/26/04 9:54 AM Page 1 Introduction There is no simon-pure thing —Countee Cullen This book studies the many literary and journalistic representations of Britain’s first indigenous and fully capitalized mass culture form, the music hall.1 The London music hall reached its commercial zenith roughly between and .A miscellaneous revue of art and amusements, a night of music hall could feature song, dance, comic routine, acrobats, and animal acts. As the music hall grew from roots in local, raucous pub sing-alongs into a large-scale capi- talized venture, it welcomed more styles of entertainment, as well as a large paying segment of the nation itself.2 The London music hall provides the central focus of my book, since the many descriptions of these halls by the London intelligentsia serve as the core texts for 01_INTRO 7/26/04 9:54 AM Page 2 Introduction this study.3 My work addresses the discourse produced by the metropolitan intelligentsia at the moment when the music hall reached its commercial peak. I argue that this discourse provides a pioneering example of a now fa- miliar story about the inevitable loss of cultural possibilities. Late-Victorian literary intellectuals like Max Beerbohm and Elizabeth Robins Pennell framed a narrative of cultural rise and decline using their experience of the music hall. As they understood it, culture forms emerge with an appealing vigor, vitality, and charisma. Popular entertainment stands in some honest, responsive, and authentic relation to its patrons. Inevitably, the bloom leaves the rose; entertainment becomes commercialized, co-opted, appropriated, and vitiated.

    / National Library of Scotland *B0001 45723* Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2011 with funding from National Library of Scotland http://www.archive.org/details/memorialsoffamil1861arch MEMORIALS FAMILIES SURNAME OF ARCHER LONDON: JOHN RUSSELL SMITH, 36, SOHO SQUARE. MvMMM.DCCC.LXI. DEDICATED BY PERMISSION TO THE BIGHT HONOURABLE GEORGE, EAEL BROOKE AND EARL OF WARWICK, K.T., ETC. \<03S f . — Cjje Surname %%t\tx. INTRODUCTION. The notices of any particular surname, scattered throughout the records of past centuries, although unassociated with any prominent historical events, and seldom occurring, save in the pages of the County historian, may yet acquire, by their union in a collective form, a certain amount of interest, as illustrating the fortunes of a member of the common family. The Anglo-Norman Surname Archer, was not uncommon in the seventeenth century. Several families of local distinction, bore it in various parts of England, and amongst them, the principal was that of Umberslade, in Warwickshire, a family much more widely spread, than might be supposed, and the only one, of any note, which, unlike those of Coopersale, Lizard, Stoke-Archer. and Dover, is certainly, not extinct, although in the person of Andrew, second and last Lord Archer, the senior male line expired, in the year 1778. 1 The following are " arms " assigned to various families of the name : 1 Archer, Cornwall — sable, a chevron between 3 broad arrows argent (the Lizard). 2. Archer, Trelaske, Cornwall—sab. a chev. engr. betw. 3 pheons or. 3. Archer, Essex—azure, a garb erect or betw. 2 laurel 'branches, tied by a ribbon in base on a chief emb.

  • A Doll's House Conquered Europe
    Article “A Doll’s House Conquered Europe”: Ibsen, His English Parodists, and the Debate over World Drama Mary Christian Department of English, Middle Georgia State University, 1100 SE 2nd St. Cochran, Macon, GA 31014, USA; [email protected] Received: 14 March 2019; Accepted: 18 April 2019; Published: 22 April 2019 Abstract: The London premieres of Henrik Ibsen’s plays in the late 1880s and 1890s sparked strong reactions both of admiration and disgust. This controversy, I suggest, was largely focused on national identity and artistic cosmopolitanism. While Ibsen’s English supporters viewed him as a leader of a new international theatrical movement, detractors dismissed him as an obscure writer from a primitive, marginal nation. This essay examines the ways in which these competing assessments were reflected in the English adaptations, parodies, and sequels of Ibsen’s plays that were written and published during the final decades of the nineteenth century, texts by Henry Herman and Henry Arthur Jones, Walter Besant, Bernard Shaw, Eleanor Marx and Israel Zangwill, and F. Anstey (Thomas Anstey Guthrie). These rewritings tended to respond to Ibsen’s foreignness in one of three ways: Either to assimilate the plays’ settings, characters, and values into normative Englishness; to exaggerate their exoticism (generally in combination with a suggestion of moral danger); or to keep their Norwegian settings and depict those settings (along with characters and ideas) as ordinary and familiar. Through their varying responses to Ibsen’s Norwegian origin, I suggest, these adaptations offered a uniquely practical and concrete medium for articulating ideas about the ways in which art shapes both national identity and the international community.
