  • Hornblower's Ships

    Hornblower's Ships

    Names of Ships from the Hornblower Books. Introduction Hornblower’s biographer, C S Forester, wrote eleven books covering the most active and dramatic episodes of the life of his subject. In addition, he also wrote a Hornblower “Companion” and the so called three “lost” short stories. There were some years and activities in Hornblower’s life that were not written about before the biographer’s death and therefore not recorded. However, the books and stories that were published describe not only what Hornblower did and thought about his life and career but also mentioned in varying levels of detail the people and the ships that he encountered. Hornblower of course served on many ships but also fought with and against them, captured them, sank them or protected them besides just being aware of them. Of all the ships mentioned, a handful of them would have been highly significant for him. The Indefatigable was the ship on which Midshipman and then Acting Lieutenant Hornblower mostly learnt and developed his skills as a seaman and as a fighting man. This learning continued with his experiences on the Renown as a lieutenant. His first commands, apart from prizes taken, were on the Hotspur and the Atropos. Later as a full captain, he took the Lydia round the Horn to the Pacific coast of South America and his first and only captaincy of a ship of the line was on the Sutherland. He first flew his own flag on the Nonsuch and sailed to the Baltic on her. In later years his ships were smaller as befitted the nature of the tasks that fell to him.

    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S

    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

Jul 03, Minutes Buy. Now the acclaimed author who illuminated the Civil War and the Mexican-American War brilliantly brings to life the American Revolution, creating a superb saga of the men who helped to forge the destiny of a nation. The senseless killing of civilians leads to a tumultuous trial in which lawyer John Adams must defend the very enemy who has assaulted and abused the laws he holds sacred. The taut courtroom drama soon broadens into a stunning epic of war as King George III leads a Rise to Rebellion and corrupt government in London toward the escalating abuse of his colonies. John Adams, the idealistic attorney devoted to the law, who rises to greatness by the Rise to Rebellion of his words. Ben Franklin, one of the most celebrated men of his time, the elderly and audacious inventor and philosopher who endures Rise to Rebellion the hostile prejudice of the British government. Thomas Gage, the British general given the impossible task of crushing a colonial rebellion without starting an all-out war. George Washington, the dashing Virginian whose battle Rise to Rebellion in Rise to Rebellion French and Indian War brings him the recognition that elevates him to command of a colonial army.

  • 1 WILLIAM BUSH – a LITERARY BIOGRAPHY Annual General

    1 WILLIAM BUSH – a LITERARY BIOGRAPHY Annual General

    WILLIAM BUSH – A LITERARY BIOGRAPHY Annual General Meeting, C.S. Forester Society, September 2017 Poor Bush. Hornblower’s devoted follower, who loses first his foot and later his life supporting his leader. The narrow-minded, unimaginative, but capable and loyal officer who passed for lieutenant on the strength of seamanship, despite his weakness in navigation. Last year, in Stockholm, I attempted to prove that Hornblower was an actual historical figure – not just a literary character based on a British captain or captains, but a real person. And I relied in part on the powerful proof that he was the subject of a scholarly biography by the respected C. Northcote Parkinson, which has actual footnotes; and that he was portrayed in a movie by Gregory Peck, who never lies. But today, I propose to do the opposite for William Bush. I propose to examine how Bush’s character developed through the Hornblower books; and what Forester thought of him; and, finally, to discover through the growth of his character the best order to read the books. And, as a hint, I’m going to discuss this by reviewing Bush’s career as it was written, not (so to speak) as it was lived. Early Character Development - BTQ, SOL, FC We first meet William Bush on the quarterdeck of the Lydia as it’s about to land on the coast of Nicaragua. The perfect landfall has nothing to do with Bush’s skill, or lack of skill – Hornblower had done the navigation himself, and he hadn’t even taken his first lieutenant into his confidence about the destination.
