  • Music, Morality, and Social Harmony in Women's Writing, 1740-1815
    COMPOSING THEMSELVES COMPOSING THEMSELVES: MUSIC, MORALITY, AND SOCIAL HARMONY IN WOMEN'S WRITING, 1740-1815 By LESLIE RITCHIE, B. MUS., B. ED., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Literature McMaster University © Copyright by Leslie Ritchie, October 2000 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2000) MCMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Composing Themselves: Music, Morality, and Social Harmony in Women's Writing, 1740-1815 AUTHOR: Leslie Ritchie, B. Mus., B. Ed., M.A. SUPERVISOR: Dr. Peter Walmsley NUMBER OF PAGES: ix, 334 11 Composing Themselves: Music, Morality, and Social Harmony in Women's Writing, 1740-1815 This interdisciplinary thesis examines rare poetic, didactic, fictional, and musical texts written by women in latter eighteenth-century Britain for instances of and resistance to contemporary perceptions of music as a form of social control. The opening chapter defines and historicizes the term "social harmony," by discussing neoclassical views of musical affect as productive of beneficial social behaviours and gender definition. By delineating canonical aesthetic theorists' influence upon women writers and musicians and assessing music's place in women's moral education, this chapter complicates the idea of separate public and private spheres of cultural achievement and introduces expanded views of women's agency as composers and performers. Next, the thesis appraises women's engagement with charity, musically enacted, through formal musical and textual analysis of hymns, songs, and benefit performances and publications. It marks the productive intersection of patronage and charity for women, who could articulate divergent responses to such idealized or stereotyped objects of pity as prostitutes and madwomen and benefit materially from so doing.

  • BRAVE BIRDS By: PDSA - the UK’S Leading Veterinary Charity
    BRAVE BIRDS By: PDSA - the UK’s leading veterinary charity. Additional text and photos courtesy of Australian War Memorial and UK Flightglobal Archive. The most famous and the oldest of the charity’s awards is the PDSA Dickin Medal. It acknowledges outstanding acts of bravery displayed by animals serving with the Armed Forces or Civil Defence units in any theatre of war, worldwide. The Medal is recognised as the animals’ Victoria Cross and is the highest British honour for animal bravery in military conflicts. The medal was instituted in 1943 Maria Dickin. Maria Dickin CBE PDSA owes its foundation to the vision of one woman - Maria Elisabeth Dickin - and her determination to raise the status of animals, and the standard of their care, in society. During the First World War, Maria Dickin CBE worked to improve the dreadful state of animal health in the Whitechapel area of London. She wanted to open a clinic where East Enders living in poverty could receive free treatment for their sick and injured animals. Left: Despite the scepticism of the Establishment, Maria Dickin opened her free 'dispensary' in a Whitechapel basement on Saturday 17th November 1917. It was an immediate success and she was soon forced to find larger premises. Photo PDSA. Within six years this extraordinary woman had designed and equipped her first horse-drawn clinic and soon a fleet of mobile dispensaries was established. PDSA vehicles soon became a comforting and familiar sight throughout the country. With success came increased attention from her critics at the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and the Ministry of Agrigulture.

  • Winkie Dm 1 Pdsa Dickin Medal Winkie Dm 1
    WINKIE DM 1 PDSA DICKIN MEDAL WINKIE DM 1 “For delivering a message under exceptionally difficult conditions and so contributing to the rescue of an Air Crew while serving with the RAF in February, 1942.” Date of Award: 2 December 1943 WINKIE’S STORY Carrier pigeon, Winkie, received the first PDSA Dickin Medal from Maria Dickin on 2 December 1943 for the heroic role she played in saving the lives of a downed air crew. The four-man crew’s Beaufort Bomber ditched in the sea more than 100 miles from base after coming under enemy fire during a mission over Norway. Unable to radio the plane’s position, they released Winkie and despite horrendous weather and being covered in oil, she made it home to raise the alarm. Home for Winkie was more than 120 miles from the downed aircraft. Her owner, George Ross, discovered her and contacted RAF Leuchars in Fife to raise the alarm. “DESPITE HORRENDOUS WEATHER AND BEING COVERED IN OIL SHE MADE IT HOME ...” Although it had no accurate position for the downed crew, the RAF managed to calculate its position, using the time between the plane crashing and Winkie’s return, the wind direction and likely effect of the oil on her flight speed. They launched a rescue operation within 15 minutes of her return home. Following the successful rescue, the crew held a celebration dinner in honour of Winkie’s achievement and she reportedly ‘basked in her cage’ as she was toasted by the officers. Winkie received her PDSA Dickin Medal a year later.

JUL 9 1300 Printed by R u m fo r d F a l l s P u b l is h in g C o ., Rumford Falls, Maine, 1900. Copyright 1900 by Samuel H. Noble. PREFACE. In presenting this little book to the public, I do so, not from a feeling of pride, or for gain, but simply to satisfy a demand that my friends have made upon me. Many who have visited the different places of amusement where I exhibited, have asked for the history of my life. In order to satisfy them I have written this book. In reading this work my kind friends will see that the words of the immortal poet Shakespeare are indeed true, when he says: “There is a Divinity that shapes our ends, Rough hew them as we may.” The pages of this book may read like a romance, but believe me, every word is true. Here the simple recital of facts only proves the old adage true that “ Truth is stranger than fiction.” I am the public’s obedient servant, B u c k s k i n S a m . CONTENTS C H A P T E R I. P a g e .

  • Manual of Modern Scots
    MANUAL OF MODERN SCOTS ' BY WILLIAM GRANT, M.A. (Aberdeen) LECTURER ON PHONETICS IN ABERDEEN TRAINING CENTRE LECTURER (1916—1920) ON THE HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN ABERDEEN UNIVERSITY CONVENER OF THE SCOTTISH DIALECTS COMMITTEE AND JAMES MAIN DIXON, Litt.Hum.D. M.A. St Andrews University FELLOW OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH PROFESSOR OF COMPARATIVE LITERATURE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CAMBRIDGE AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS 1921 PREFACE rpHE idea of this work first occurred to one of the authors^ J- Dr Main Dixon, in the course of his experience in lecturing on Scottish Literature to his students in the University of Southern California. He felt the need of a book to which he could refer them for details of Scottish Grammar and Pronuncia- tion, which he could employ, in class, for the recitation of our literary masterpieces, and which the students themselves, after they left the University, could use either for purposes of declama- tion or teaching. The book is divided into three parts. Part I describes the sounds of Modem Scots with examples of their use written in the alphabet of the International Phonetic Association. Part II contrasts Scots Grammar with Standard English usage and gives copious illustrations from Modern Scottish Literature. Part III consists of a series of extracts from Modern Scots writers and a selection of ballads and songs with phonetic transcriptions. Most of these transcriptions are in Standard Scottish Speech (see Introduction, p. xxi); Extracts XII A, XIII A, XVI A, XVII A, IX B, XIV B, may be described as Standard Scottish with local colour; Extracts VII A, XIV A, XX A, XXII A, XXIV A, are intended to represent the exact speech of definite sub-dialects.
