Y. Communications to the editor may be sent to the address above PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA The William Byrd Press, Inc., Richmond, Virginia Foreword The editor, in constructing this work originally conceived by Mrs. Ben Hill Doster, who was stricken before she could assemble all the foundation stones, wishes to acknowledge in deep gratitude her fundamental work on the Doster Genealogy. A sketch of her life appears in Branch No. 4. Without her patient labors the Doster history would be, as in so many American families, a mass of scattered fragments, many limited to two or three generations and not connected with others. But her death inter­ vened. In tribute to this lovely old lady, and in justice to future generations to whom she vainly hoped to leave her memorial, the editor has assumed the imposing duty of fulfilling her dream. It has been possible to set other collections of material upon her diligent groundwork, to add occupations and addresses and explanatory data, to fit innumerable items into the abandoned framework and to end, after years of work, with a fairly complete structure. A task of this kind is never really finished and items are constantly being added. But the aim has been, first, to fit the family into its background of history and, secondly, to provide a pattern of continuity.

  • Edge Landscapes in Post-Millennial British Fiction Rebecca Elizabeth Harris Quigg Phd in English Literature University of East A
    Edge Landscapes in Post-Millennial British Fiction Rebecca Elizabeth Harris Quigg PhD in English Literature University of East Anglia School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing August 2016 99, 764 words This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Thesis Abstract Post-millennial Britain is a locus of flux and uncertainty, defined by environmental concerns, fears regarding terrorism, and the destabilisation of European politics on the one hand, and increasing globalisation, liberal approaches to minority groups, and rapid technological advances on the other. The fiction that is being created at this point, in this place, reflects these issues in numerous different manners and through a variety of thematic shifts. One of these developments is a renewed literary interest in British rural landscapes, particularly those landscapes that are in some regard problematic, either literally or figuratively. These landscapes are defined as edges. This project examines the manner in which four novels employ British edge landscapes. Each chapter focuses on a particular novel and a particular landscape type, examining how the landscape functions within the text, and how the novel’s use of its place reflects post-millennial concerns. The project places the novels within a wider context of ecocritical principles and literary criticism, identifying both approaches specific to each individual text and prevailing tendencies that link the corpus.

On 5 November, we will celebrate the laying of the foundation stone in 1867 by HRH Prince Alfred, and the naming of the College after him. In the history of Prince Alfred College, we can see many of the major events and themes of the history of South Australia, and indeed Australia. Our foundation by the Wesleyan Methodist Church reflects the fact that Methodists came to South Australia in large numbers, because, as a non-establishment Church, they were attracted to the colony that was to be “a paradise of descent”.
