It consists of three compilations of proverbs, three commentaries, and a listing of the proverbial expressions cited in each work. In the 'Compilations', those parts of the text in which proverbs occur are quoted followed by the proverbs as they are cited in both modem and contemporary dictionaries. The 'Commentary' deals with the significance of the proverb in each work. In chapter 1, the different devices employed by Sterne when manipulating proverb lore are categorised and examined. In chapters 2, 3 and 4 the different ways in which proverb lore reflects upon the principal themes and ideas, in the three works, are analysed. In the 'Lists of Proverbs' following the commentary, all the proverbs, and the repeated proverbs, cited in Sterne's three works are listed in the order in which they occur in the different texts. The 'Compilations', the 'Commentary' and the 'Lists of Proverbs' complement one another: while the first part of the thesis testifies to Sterne's familiarity with his tradition and the degree of his reliance upon it, the third comprises a synopsis of Part I, and the second deals with the significance of proverb lore in each work. The present endeavour highlights an important aspect of Sterne's writings and makes a contribution to the corpus of literary criticism about the author.

No other part of the thesis has been submitted for a degree in this or any other university. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author.

Acknowledgement I am grateful for the unfailing help and encouragement of my supervisor, Mr Peter Lewis, as well as the assistance of Dr Ian Ross, who supervised my M.Litt. thesis in the University of Dublin. Preface The present thesis deals with proverbial usage in three works by Laurence Sterne: A Sentimental Journey, A Journal to Eliza, and A Political Romance. It consists of three compilations of proverbial expressions and three commentaries. In the 'Compilations', those parts of the text in which proverbs occur are quoted followed by the proverbs as they are cited in both modern and contemporary dictionaries. The dictionaries consulted in editing the proverbs are: Stevenson's Stevenson's Book of Proverbs, Maxims and Familiar Phrases, Tilley's A Dictionary of Proverbs in England in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, Whiting's Proverbial Sentences and Phrases from English Writings Mainly before 1500, and F. P. Wilson's The Oxford Dictionary of English Proverbs. Quotations from modem dictionaries of proverbs are followed by the format of the proverb as cited in two eighteenth century collections of proverbial expressions: Fuller's Gnomologia, Adagies and Proverbs, Wise Sentences and Witty sayings, and Ray's A Compleat Collection of English Proverbs. The 'Commentary' deals with the proverb in the works of Laurence Sterne. Chapter 1 consists of a stylistic analysis: the different devices employed by Sterne when manipulating proverb lore are categorised and examined in their contexts. In order to render the stylistic analysis comprehensive, and to deal with as many devices as possible, I also refer to the proverbs cited in Tristram Shandy (this compilation was submitted for the degree of M.Litt. in the University of Dublin in 1988). Chapters 2, 3 and 4 deal with the significance of proverbial lore in A Sentimental Journey, A Journal to Eliza, and A Political Romance. In each chapter I examine how proverbial lore reflects upon the principle themes and ideas and how it assists the reader better to understand the narrative. In the 'Lists of Proverbs' all the proverbs, and the repeated proverbs, cited in Sterne's three works are listed in the order in which they occur in the different texts. 'Appendix I' 1 consists of a list of the proverbs located in Tristram Shandy. The 'Compilations', the 'Commentary' and the 'Lists of Proverbs' complement one another: while the first part of the thesis testifies to the writer's familiarity with his tradition and the degree of his reliance upon it, the third comprises a synopsis of Part I, and the second deals with the significance of the proverb in each work. The present endeavour highlights an important aspect of Sterne's writings, and makes a contribution to the corpus of literary criticism about the author. 2 The Compilations A Note Upon The Editing Of Proverbs In editing the proverbial expressions in A Sentimental Journey, A Journal to Eliza, and A Political Romance, I have exercised the utmost care to include only those proverbial expressions of which I was absolutely sure. In order to produce as accurate an edition as possible, I have excluded many repeated proverbs which constitute borderline cases from the compilations. Designated as pseudo proverbial, such expressions are categorized and discussed in the 'Commentary', chapter 1. The reader will notice that certain proverbial expressions are easier to detect than others. Explicit references to proverbs are often extended in the text with the verbal structure, and the wording, of the proverb preserved. Others references are less explicit: a single word, the intonation of a phrase or sentence, or the verbal structure act as a clue to the proverb. Upon examining the compilations the reader will come to appreciate the different ways employed in moulding proverbs, and the varying degrees of subtilty witnessed in recreating proverbial expressions that are embedded in the context. The three compilations are complemented by the 'Commentary' which deals with the significance of the proverb in the three texts. 3 VOJLlUME li CA.ILAI§ --Just God! said I, kicking my portmanteau aside, what is there in this world's goods which should sharpen our spirits, and make so many kind-hearted brethren of us, fall out so cruelly as we do by the way?

    216. CHAPTER EIGHT SLOW BUT STEADY RECOVERY When the year 1826 commenced, although Champagnat was gravely ill, he had the consolation of knowing that there were two priests at the Hermitage who could help the Brothers if he himself did not recover his health. Twelve months later, in January 1827, Marcellin found himself alone with his Brothers. Since he had also but recently seen some of his first and most trusted Brothers leave his Institute he knew that it was essential that confidence be restored to his congregation. A few months later, in May, he wrote four letters that indicate the terrible events of 1826 had, as it were, deepened his conviction that his work must proceed. he made it very plain that understood that anyone trying to do what he believed was Gods will would suffer from many obstacles. If Jesus Christ himself had to endure the agony of the cross, Marcellin was convinced that his follow- ers must be prepared for hardship as well. This conviction and an ever more resolute ardour are the fruits that seemed to have ripened during the course of the "terrible year" of 1826. On 27th February 1827 the Archbishop of Lyons had granted permiss ion for any deceased Marist Brothers to be buried in the new cemetery area that Marcellin had planned since the Prefect of Loire had granted civic authorisation for such the previous year. The young Brother Come (Pierre Sabot) was the first to be buried in this cemetery.(1) Since Marcellin had founded his congregation of Brothers in 1817 three Brothers had already died before this Hermitage cemetery came about.

  • The Publication and Reception of Local and Parliamentary Legislation in England, 1422–C.1485
    The Publication and Reception of Local and Parliamentary Legislation in England, 1422–c.1485 Dean Rowland Institute of Historical Research Declaration I, Dean Andrew Rowland, declare that this thesis is purely my own work carried out for the degree of Ph.D. at the Institute of Historical Research. I submitted a dissertation for the degree of M.Phil at the University of Cambridge in 2007 that covered a part of the subject matter of the present thesis, in significantly less depth. Only a very small of text (amounting to no more than a few lines and occasional turns of phrase) has been incorporated from that dissertation in the present one. My M.Phil dissertation will be cited, where appropriate, in the present dissertation. Date: 2 Abstract This dissertation examines the means by which the content of legislation made by parliament, and by the authorities in towns, was communicated to the wider populace in fifteenth-century England. It is a study of how legal knowledge could be acquired in the pre-modern world, whilst also using that study as a window through which to explore wider questions about political society and communication within that society. The central argument is that it is necessary to consider the media used to publicise laws much more broadly than the traditional focus on the ‘top-down’ process of oral proclamation of new legislation made by the authorities at the political centre and in the localities. Rather, one needs to assess more realistically the limits of proclamations and how often they were performative rather than purely informative acts, that is to say, they were primarily designed to achieve certain instrumental effects.
