84 Mumford Images of Lloyd IMagES OF LloYD GEORGE The winter 2012 issue of this Journal depicts on its front page the standard, rather intense photographic treatment of David Lloyd George. Like most photographs, it gives no indication of the Lloyd George seen in other images, such as cartoons, paintings, mugs and ceramics. Biographies and general histories contain a number of differing versions of what Lloyd George did, his motivation, the impact of his actions and the personality through which he delivered those actions. There are largely favourable biographies by Thomson and Owen, stridently critical versions by Lloyd George’s son Richard and by McCormick, and more balanced views by Rowland and Hattersley.1 Alan Mumford reviews images of Lloyd George. 6 Journal of Liberal History 84 Autumn 2014 IMagES OF LloYD GEORGE uch ‘outsider’ views are in his company that flavour of the people who viewed them.

  • Mitchell Brothers – Vaudeville and Western
    Vaudeville and the Last Encore By Marlene Mitchell February, 1992 William Mitchell, his wife Pearl Mitchell, and John Mitchell 1 Vaudeville and the Last Encore By Marlene Mitchell February, 1992 Vaudeville was a favorite pastime for individuals seeking clean entertainment during the early part of the 20th century. The era of vaudeville was relatively short because of the creation of new technology. Vaudeville began around 1881 and began to fade in the early 1930s.1 The term vaudeville originated in France.2 It is thought that the term vaudeville was from “Old French vaudevire, short for chanson du Vaux de Vire, which meant popular satirical songs that were composed and presented during the 15th century in the valleys or vaux near the French town of Vire in the province of Normandy.”3 How did vaudeville begin? What was vaude- ville’s purpose and what caused its eventual collapse? This paper addresses the phenomenon of vaudeville — its rise, its stable but short lifetime, and its demise. Vaudeville was an outgrowth of the Industrial Revolution, which provided jobs for peo- ple and put money in their pockets.4 Because of increased incomes, individuals began to desire and seek clean, family entertainment.5 This desire was first satisfied by Tony Pastor, who is known as the “father of vaudeville.”6 In 1881 Pastor opened “Tony Pastor’s New Fourteenth Street Theatre” and began offering what he called variety entertainment.7 Later B. F. Keith, who is called the “founder of vaudeville,” opened a theater in Boston and expanded on Pastor’s original variety concept.8 Keith was the first to use the term “vaudeville” when he opened his theater in Boston in 1894.9 Keith later joined with E.

Signed declaration_________________________________________ Date_____________________ 3 Abstract This thesis examines the development of campaigning writing in newspapers and periodicals between 1840 and 1875 and its relationship to concepts of Old and New Journalism. Campaigning is often regarded as characteristic of the New Journalism of the fin de siècle, particularly in the form associated with W. T. Stead at the Pall Mall Gazette in the 1880s. New Journalism was persuasive, opinionated, and sensational. It displayed characteristics of the American mass-circulation press, including eye-catching headlines on newspaper front pages. The period covered by this thesis begins in 1840, with the Chartist Northern Star as the hub of a campaign on behalf of the leaders of the Newport rising of November 1839.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain Domestic Affairs A HE YEAR 1970 will certainly be remembered—whatever else his- tory may subsequently add—as "the year of the counter-revolution," resulting from the unforeseen Conservative victory in the general election of June 18. When Parliament dissolved on May 29, Prime Minister Harold Wilson and the Labour party then had a majority of 65 seats in the Commons, but was much eroded by by-election losses. On June 19 Edward Heath was prime minister, with an over-all majority of 31 seats and an effective majority of 29. The Conservatives had made a net gain of 66 seats and Labour had suffered 60 losses. This overturn was so unexpected that The Guardian headlined its lead article of June 19: "Mr. Heath does a Truman." Virtually no commentator or opinion poll had predicted this outcome. The dominant tone of comment was to deplore the low intellectual level of the debate between the two dominant parties. The debate had become an adjunct to television, rather than the reverse, it was said. Be that as it may, less argu- able was the equally general comment that no serious issue divided the parties. The two comments were perhaps related. As for the latter comment, it was certainly true that both parties were at one on policy regarding the European Common Market, that they tacitly agreed not to discuss the problem of rapidly rising wages, and that such issues of contention as did exist—the maintenance of a small force east of Suez, agricultural policy, the degree of state intervention in industry, even trade union reform—all failed to arouse the public.

  • “The Nineteenth-Century Conservatives Confront Anti-Semitism and Race”
    “The Nineteenth-Century Conservatives confront Anti-Semitism and Race” I am just completing a study on conservative political discourse in the United Kingdom, especially in the national press, between 1832 and 1895. Its overarching theme is the secularization (or even the de-Christianization) of the idea of “conservatism” during the period. Among the issues which I am discussing in this manuscript are reactions of this specialized press towards Jews and towards non-Western races. The general Conservative attitude towards what at least in the twentieth century would come to be seen as the twin human rights abuses of anti-Semitism and racist intolerance (if not worse) towards colonial populations via imperialism, underwent a reversal of opinion during the course of the Victorian period. While the Conservative press had generally sympathized with the plight of colonial populations earlier in the period, by the end of Victoria’s reign the tone was nastier and more social Darwinistic. The exact opposite situation occurred with Jews. Earlier in the century they were treated in the conservative press (often at least) as vicious, malevolent and un-English. By the end of the century, their treatment, unusual amongst European Conservative movements, was usually expressed in the language and discourse of toleration, approbation, and, often, self- identification. Examining first, the Jewish situation, the Conservative (or after 1846, the Protectionist) leadership in Parliament was always conflicted on the issue of emancipation. Lord Stanley, later the fourteenth earl of Derby and thrice Conservative prime minister, sometimes supported emancipation, as did more enthusiastically, Lord George Bentinck, the Protectionist leader in the House of Commons.

  • Soundscapes of the Urban Past
    Sound Studies Series Series edited by Holger Schulze Volume 5 Editorial Board Sam Auinger (Linz/Berlin) Diedrich Diederichsen (Wien/Berlin) Florian Dombois (Bern) Sabine Fabo (Aachen) Peter Kiefer (Mainz) Doris Kolesch (Berlin) Elena Ungeheuer (Berlin) Christoph Wulf (Berlin) Sound Studies The book series Sound Studies presents research results, studies and essays on a rather new yet well-known field of research: How do human beings and animals and things live together with all the sounds and noises, tones and signals of their times? How do they shape and design sounds – and how do they act through sounds and explore their world, even in foreign or in maybe only superficially known cultures? The research field of Sound Studies is transdiciplinary and transmethodologically by na- ture: the publications of this book series therefore present artistic and design concepts from fields such as sound art, composition, performance art, conceptual art and popu- lar culture as well as articles from disciplines such as cultural studies, communication studies, ethnography and cultural anthropology, music studies, art history and literary studies. Artistic research as a whole is therefore an important approach in the field of sound studies. The Sound Studies book series intends to open up a discourse in, on and about sound – across the boundaries of academic disciplines and methods of research and artistic invention: a speaking about sound beyond the hitherto alltoo well-known academic discourse. Series editor: Holger Schulze A publication of the Sound Studies Lab at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
