2Nd-10Th Oct · 130 Events for All Ages What to Expect This Year Supported by 2ND-10TH OCT · 130 EVENTS FOR ALL AGES WHAT TO EXPECT THIS YEAR... Craig Brown, winner of the 2020 Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction. Oh to be part of an audience again, listening to talented and interesting writers, delighting us Issue 42 with their knowledge, intellect and humour. To sit with like minds, or unlike minds, laughing, © Julian Anderson crying or just being absorbed as the conversation winds it way into other worlds. We are emerging from this pandemic desperate for culture, but also, after a year of caution, still wanting to be careful. This year’s Henley Literary Festival addresses both those emotions. The programme is rich in its variety and quality, but we have also made sure it’s a safe environment. For the first time in our 15 year history we are building a 500 seater marquee as well as our two bigger venues – Christ Church and the Town Hall - so that distancing, if required, can be maintained. I have never been more proud of the tiny, covid-depleted-team who have worked so hard to build such a magnificent awe-inspring nine-day programme under such difficult circumstances. Thank you Harriet, Lou, and Kallie for your magnificence against the odds, and thanks to all our sponsors, particularly Baillie Gifford, for staying with us through the rough times and ensuring we are not only still here, but very much alive and kicking. Now we ask you, our loyal supportive audience, to come, join us. SUE RYAN, FESTIVAL FOUNDER Our free and award-winning investment trust magazine brings you writing on the ideas that shape our world.

  • The Persuasiveness of British Accents: Enhancing Parental Self-Efficacy to Manage Children’S Oral Health Behaviours
    The Persuasiveness of British Accents: Enhancing Parental Self-Efficacy to Manage Children’s Oral Health Behaviours Zoe Adams Queen Mary, University of London August 2018 Abstract This interdisciplinary research builds on Pine et al.’s (2016) oral health intervention, ‘Bedtime Brush and Read Together to Sleep’ (BBaRTS), conducted among families in Tayside, Kent and Newham. It uses children’s storybooks to improve parents’ self- efficacy to manage their child’s oral health behaviours. The storybooks are being adapted into animated cartoons with voice-overs. Therefore, my research question is: What are the persuasive effects of British accents in each BBaRTS trial area? Study one tests the persuasiveness of six British accents (Received Pronunciation (RP), Multicultural London English (MLE), Yorkshire English, Dundee English, Irish English and Estuary English) among 114 parents (Tayside, n = 46; Kent, n = 34; Newham, n = 34). It was hypothesised that there would be a persuasive effect of accent, which differs by area. Participants completed an accent identification task, along with implicit and explicit measurement procedures. In Tayside, Estuary English was more persuasive than MLE (p = 0.002). In Newham, MLE was more persuasive than Dundee English (p = 0.001), Yorkshire English (p = 0.011) and RP (p = 0.011). In Kent, there was no persuasive effect of accent. Findings are examined in the context of Gawronski and Bodenhausen’s (2006, 2011) Associative- Propositional Evaluation model. This study also explores individual differences and reaction time in relation to accent persuasiveness, but results suggest that neither factor plays a fundamental role. Study two applies the most and least persuasive accent in Newham (MLE and Dundee English) to animated versions of the BBaRTS storybooks.

  • Navigation, Trade, and Consumption in Seventeenth Century Oxfordshire
    Navigation, Trade, and Consumption in Seventeenth Century Oxfordshire By Joseph O’Connell A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved November 2012 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Retha Warnicke, Chair Richard Burg Kent Wright ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2013 ABSTRACT “Navigation, Trade, and Consumption in Seventeenth Century Oxfordshire” investigates how the inhabitants of Oxfordshire transitioned from an agricultural to a consumer community during the Jacobean and post- Restoration eras. In agrarian England, this reconfigured landscape was most clearly embodied in the struggle over the enclosure of common land. Focusing on the yeoman’s understanding of the fiscal benefits of enclosure and land acquisition, I argue that the growth in grain markets within Oxfordshire led to a newfound prosperity, which was most clearly articulated in the yeoman’s rise as a viable and discernible luxury goods consumer. Accordingly, my project draws attention to the yeoman’s relevance and leadership in this role, which not only observes their elevation and advancement within the English class structure, but it also views the expansion of luxury consumption and the impact of the developing market economy on the English rural household. By juxtaposing probate documents, inventories, pamphlets, and diaries from the market towns of Burford, Chipping Norton, and Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire, this study examines the process by which these late sixteenth and early seventeenth century communities began to embrace the consumption of luxury goods, and, most importantly, purely market-based understanding of agrarian life. i Note The year has been taken as beginning on 1 January and a double year is used (ex: 1660/61) in the text where appropriate.
