[email protected] eSharp Special Issue: Spinning Scotland Jackie Kay’s Representation of ‘The Broons’: Scotland’s Happy Family Mª del Coral Calvo Maturana (Universidad de Granada) 1. Introduction This paper focuses on the contemporary Scottish poet Jackie Kay and the comic strip ‘The Broons’ by studying Jackie Kay’s representation of this family in contrast to its characterisation in the comic strip. 1 This study presents a brief introduction to Jackie Kay and ‘The Broons’ and pays attention to Kay’s referential portrayal of this Scottish family in five of her poems: ‘Maw Broon Visits a Therapist’ (2006a, p.46-47), ‘Paw Broon on the Starr Report’ (2006a, p.57), ‘The Broon’s Bairn’s Black’ (2006a, p.61), ‘There’s Trouble for Maw Broon’ (2005, p.13-14) and ‘Maw Broon goes for colonic irrigation’ (unpublished). 2 Each of the poems will be approached stylistically by using the advantages offered by corpus linguistics methodology; in particular, the program Wordsmith Tools 3.0.

  • Fudge the Elf
    1 Fudge The Elf Ken Reid The Laura Maguire collection Published October 2019 All Rights Reserved Sometime in the late nineteen nineties, my daughter Laura, started collecting Fudge books, the creation of the highly individual Ken Reid. The books, the daily strip in 'The Manchester Evening News, had been a part of my childhood. Laura and her brother Adam avidly read the few dog eared volumes I had managed to retain over the years. In 2004 I created a 'Fudge The Elf' website. This brought in many contacts, collectors, individuals trying to find copies of the books, Ken's Son, the illustrator and colourist John Ridgeway, et al. For various reasons I have decided to take the existing website off-line. The PDF faithfully reflects the entire contents of the original website.

  • Dundee and Perth
    A REPUTATION FOR EXCELLENCE Volume 3: Dundee and Perth Introduction A History of the Dundee and Perth Printing Industries, is the third booklet in the series A Reputation for Excellence; others are A History of the Edinburgh Printing Industry (1990) and A History of the Glasgow Printing Industry (1994). The first of these gives a brief account of the advent of printing to Scotland: on September 1507 a patent was granted by King James IV to Walter Chepman and Andro Myllar ‘burgessis of our town of Edinburgh’. At His Majesty’s request they were authorised ‘for our plesour, the honour and profitt of our realme and liegis to furnish the necessary materials and capable workmen to print the books of the laws and other books necessary which might be required’. The partnership set up business in the Southgait (Cowgate) of Edinburgh. From that time until the end of the seventeenth century royal patents were issued to the trade, thus confining printing to a select number. Although there is some uncertainty in establishing precisely when printing began in Dundee, there is evidence that the likely date was around 1547. In that year John Scot set up the first press in the town, after which little appears to have been done over the next two centuries to develop and expand the new craft. From the middle of the eighteenth century, however, new businesses were set up and until the second half of the present century Dundee was one of Scotland's leading printing centres. Printing in Perth began in 1715, with the arrival there of one Robert Freebairn, referred to in the Edinburgh booklet.

  • Introduction Herbert Allingham: a Common Writer Born 1867 This Is A
    Introduction Herbert Allingham: A Common Writer Born 1867 This is a study of the working life of Herbert Allingham: a life that may formally be held to have commenced with the publication of his first serial story in 1886. It is, however, a central argument that the significance of Allingham’s career only becomes apparent when it is viewed in wider social, economic and cultural contexts. These include the characteristic patterns of capitalistic development as well as specific historical factors contributing to the proliferation of cheap, nationally distributed periodicals designed for working class family entertainment at a time when the working classes comprised the majority of the population. Allingham was born into a family that was still functioning as a business entity. During his lifetime this became a very much less common situation (in towns at least) but, as the family’s potential as a unit of production declined, its importance as an agent of consumption increased. Broadly, people’s domestic expectations rose. Though this was a material process, it possessed an underlying moral impetus that may have been a legacy of the teachings of nineteenth century evangelical Christians and social reformers. In this thesis the word family works hard. As well as referring to people in their domestic, gendered or generational relationships to one another, it is also used collectively for people, businesses, or artefacts (such as magazines) that were linked by their common interests. Flavouring all these is an evaluative usage of ‘family’ to convey a generalised approbation, a benison of social respectability. In cultural terms family entertainment is marketed as something to be shared.

  • Xero Comics 4 Lupoff 1961-04
    For a long time I wondered why I was unable to accept Hollywood’s premise that the Germans in World War II were either misunderstood boys (Marlon Brando in ’"The Young Lions") or really nice guys (Vari Heflin in "Under Ten Flags") while the Americans were deserters or draft dodgers (Montgomery Clift and Dean uartin, respectively, in "The Young Lions") and the British were bumbling, incompetent blowhards (Charles Laughton in "Under Ten Flags"). I was far too young, born in 1955, to remember much of the war and I lost no relatives or friends. Although two of my brothers served in the Navy in the Pacific, my family never told me much about the war. So what could I have against the Germans and Japanese? I think I have finally found the answer: the total propaganda saturation reached me through the comic books, especially through the adventures of the Sub-Mariner, the Human Torch, and Captain America, and subsidiary characters in the magazines featur­ ing them. 'hen you were raised on these, you learned to hate the enemy. All of these characters got their start in or around 1 959, two years before America got involved in the war, but they really came into their own when Pearl Harbor was attacked, for several reasons. Captain America, of course, was a patriotic hero-figure of a type which couldn't fully flower in peacetime when patriots are "flag-wavers," It took a full-scale war to release the unabashed patriotism which shot him to the top. The Sub-Mariner started out by marauding all shipping, with some emphasis on Amer­ ican vessels.

  • Committee on Evaluation of Comic Books Collection
    Mss. 126 COMMITTEE ON EVALUATION OF COMIC BOOKS COLLECTION Scope and Content: The Committee on Evaluation of Comic Books donated the comic book collection in the Rare Books & Special Collections Department of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. It contains the founder, Reverend Jesse Murrell’s, correspondence, lists and articles regarding the Committee on Evaluation of Comic Books. This committee was founded in Cincinnati in 1948 shortly after Reverend Murrell preached a scathing sermon regarding comic books in May. Reverend Jesse Murrell of Covington, Kentucky organized the Committee. Another founding member was Ernest Miller, then the associate director, later becoming the director of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. The bulk of the collection consists of over 500 comic books from 1948 to 1966 that were evaluated by the committee. In 1950 the committee’s evaluation list was published in the February and October issues of Parents’ Magazine. It was published in this magazine every year from 1950 to 1959. From 1948 to 1960 the committee produced the evaluation list at least once a year, sometimes twice. On May 21, 1970, Mr. Miller was appointed the archivist of the Committee and all materials were housed at the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Main Library. The Committee on the Evaluation of Comic Books continued to meet until 1979. “Our major purpose is to help the people formulate critical judgment as to the comics, then we try to help them buy and read selectively.” Reverend Murrell died in 1972; as did Mr. Miller. It was Mrs.
