  • Zurbarán's Jacob and His Twelve Sons: Paintings from Auckland Castle
    STUNNING SET OF SPANISH BAROQUE WORKS TRAVELS TO THE UNITED STATES FOR THE FIRST TIME Zurbarán’s Jacob and His Twelve Sons: Paintings from Auckland Castle SERIES HISTORICALLY CONNECTED TO MOVEMENT FOR RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE January 31 through April 22, 2018 Francisco de Zurbarán helped to define Seville’s Golden Age, a period of economic expansion and cultural resurgence in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, when the Andalusian seaport monopolized trade with the New World. Throughout the late 1620s and 1630s, the artist and his workshop produced monumental multi- Zurbarán and other works on display in the Long Dining Room at Auckland Castle; photo credit: photo Colin Davison, courtesy of The Auckland Project figure paintings as well as series of single-figure works representing the saints, the Apostles, and various other subjects for ecclesiastical institutions and palaces throughout Spain and the Spanish colonies. With a decline in Seville’s economy in the 1640s and the plague of 1649, he turned increasingly to the Latin American market, supplying paintings on commission to churches, monasteries, and wealthy individuals, while also selling workshop pieces on the open market in Buenos Aires and Lima, Peru. Between 1640 and 1645, Zurbarán and his assistants produced the remarkable series Jacob and His Twelve Sons, which is on view at Francisco de Zurbarán (1598–1664), Joseph, ca. 1640–45, oil on canvas, The Frick Collection through the spring of 2018. Co-organized by the Frick with the Auckland Castle, County Durham, © The Auckland Project/Zurbarán Trust, photo by Robert LaPrelle 1 Meadows Museum in Dallas and Auckland Castle, County Durham, England, the exhibition was first seen in Dallas last fall.

  • Appendix: “Ideology, Grandstanding, and Strategic Party Disloyalty in the British Parliament”
    Appendix: \Ideology, Grandstanding, and Strategic Party Disloyalty in the British Parliament" August 8, 2017 Appendix Table of Contents • Appendix A: Wordscores Estimation of Ideology • Appendix B: MP Membership in Ideological Groups • Appendix C: Rebellion on Different Types of Divisions • Appendix D: Models of Rebellion on Government Sponsored Bills Only • Appendix E: Differences in Labour Party Rebellion Following Leadership Change • Appendix F: List of Party Switchers • Appendix G: Discussion of Empirical Model Appendix A: Wordscores Estimation of Ideology This Appendix describes our method for ideologically scaling British MPs using their speeches on the welfare state, which were originally produced for a separate study on welfare reform (O'Grady, 2017). We cover (i) data collection, (ii) estimation, (iii) raw results, and (iv) validity checks. The resulting scales turn out to be highly valid, and provide an excellent guide to MPs' ideologies using data that is completely separate to the voting data that forms the bulk of the evidence in our paper. A1: Collection of Speech Data Speeches come from an original collection of every speech made about issues related to welfare in the House of Commons from 1987-2007, covering the period over which the Labour party moved 1 to the center under Tony Blair, adopted and enacted policies of welfare reform, and won office at the expense of the Conservatives. Restricting the speeches to a single issue area is useful for estimating ideologies because with multiple topics there is a danger of conflating genuine extremism (a tendency to speak in extreme ways) with a tendency or requirement to talk a lot about topics that are relatively extreme to begin with (Lauderdale and Herzog, 2016).

  • Teachers' Notes: 4. Tudor Houses in Lincolnshire Including Tupholme Abbey After the Dissolution of the Monasteries Ordinary Pe
    Teachers’ notes: 4. Tudor houses in Lincolnshire including Tupholme Abbey after the Dissolution of the monasteries Ordinary people’s houses Until the industrial revolution when the mass production and transport of goods around the country became possible, the homes of ordinary people throughout Britain were built using locally traditional techniques and the building materials that were most readily available. Because techniques and materials varied from region to region, distinctive building types emerged that were characteristic of and unique to their own areas. This type of architecture is known as vernacular architecture. In Lincolnshire the local vernacular style of building was a timber and earth-based construction called mud and stud. During the Tudor period brick was still an expensive material that was largely the preserve of the wealthy, and stone cottages were only built in the limestone belt, especially on the Lincolnshire Edge that runs north to south through the county. Timber was in short supply in Lincolnshire, especially in the second half of the 16 th century, which meant that the most easily obtainable material was earth (mud). Mud and stud used an earth mixture supported on a framework that required the minimum of timber. Building with timber and earth was not confined to Lincolnshire, but the particular method of mud and stud is unique to the county. Even in the 16 th century building with earth and wood was an established tradition in the county. In the Tudor period the main frame of the house would usually have been made of oak. It consisted of vertical wall posts and horizontal rails braced at the corners.
