  • The Practice of Concealment
    The practice of concealment Developing social history from physical evidence: a detailed exploration of artefacts hidden within a Victorian chaise longue and an interpretation of the significance of the contents Volume 1 By Carol Circuit A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the University’s requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2017 Buckinghamshire New University Coventry University COPYRIGHT This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author under the terms of the United Kingdom Copyright Acts. No quotation from the thesis and no information derived from it may be published without proper acknowledgement. ABSTRACT The removal of a top cover from a Victorian chaise longue, in preparation for restoration work, revealed that the chaise had been stuffed with an assortment of Victorian clothes and tightly bound bundles of textiles rather than the traditional filling of horsehair. Amongst this stuffing was a label with a name and address which appeared to point to an association with the town of Leamington Spa and to the name of the person who may well have been the original owner of the chaise – one Miss Smith - and the opportunity to research this hidden cache proved irresistible. When handling the artefacts there was a very strong awareness that the last person to touch them had probably been Miss Smith, over one hundred years before me, and this provoked curiosity about what led her to create this cache. I have attempted to portray the contents of the cache as a narrative by taking a multi-disciplinary approach to try to put them into a context.

  • Congratulations to Antonio Sementa of Italy, Benédicte Cronier of France
    Congratulations to Antonio Sementa of Italy, Benédicte Cronier of France, and Miltos Karamanlis of Greece who are, respectively, the new Generali Masters champions in the WBF events for Men, Women and Juniors. It must have been highly popular with the local supporters in Athens that the winner of the first Junior event was Greek. There is a report inside but the stories of good play in the Daily Bulletin were almost non-existent. More came from a two-session Pairs event in the Poland Seniors Congress than from ten sessions of a gathering of the world’s best players. One might use the excuse of unfamiliar system or partnerships to explain the many reports of mishaps in bidding and defence, but what about declarer play? Most journalists prefer to report good play, rather than the all-too-common mistakes. If so, they will have difficulty finding stories to use when referring to the championships. * * * * * * * * * * The top players have had a busy time recently, dashing from the US Nationals or EBL Mixed in Italy to the Cap Gemini in the Netherlands, a short break, and then a run of the Generali in Athens, the Politiken in Denmark and the Niklas Data in Stockholm (report next month on the latter). They will be grateful to have some time at home. What happens in reality, of course, is that they pick and choose which is convenient to play in. For the journalists this has the advantage of a variety of fields, but it is a struggle for the organisers who seek the strongest list of names.
