Eldest daughter of Lord Amherst and Margaret Susan Mitford; married Lord William Cecil. Margaret Cecil occasionally published in the Annales du Service des Antiquities.

In 1860 she travelled to the eastern Mediterranean, residing in the neighbourhood of Beirut during the civil war between Druses and maronites, which she documented in Egyptian Sepulchres and Syrian Shrines (1862). A favourable review by Strangford in the Athenaeum started a friendship and Beaufort's eventual marriage to him. The two collaborated in the Eastern Shores of the Adriatic which concludes with a chapter by Strangford on the political situation in the Balkans. After his death in 1869, she embarked on her second career as a nurse, hospital admin­ istrator, philanthropist and social reformer. In 1873 she organised the National Society for Providing Trained Nurses for the poor. In 1877 she co-founded the Relief for the Bulgarian Peasants and dur­ ing the Russo-Turkish War superintended a hospital for wounded Turks. In 1882 Beaufort founded and opened at Cairo the St. John's Ambulance Association and the Victoria Hospital, the first'modern' hospital in Egypt. She later founded a medical school in Beirut.

Daughter of Robert Westley Hall-Date; married, in 1877, James Theodore Bent, the explorer, linguist and archaeologist whom she joined on seven journeys to the Arabian peninsula, which, from 1893, Bent made his special field of interest.

  • Lovelace Mausoleum
    Lovelace Mausoleum The mausoleum stands north east of the church, enclosed on two sides by walls which separate the churchyard from land formerly owned by the Earl. The building is hexagonal, with a projecting porch which makes it keyhole- shaped on plan. It is covered by a tiled conical roof capped with a small lead lantern. All the cut-brick and flint patterning would seem quite bizarre if the churchyard walls and other surrounding buildings were not all treated in a similar way. Architect(s) Probably the Earl himself. Listing Grade II (England and Wales) Year Created 1873 History The mausoleum was built by William King-Noel, 1st Earl of Lovelace (1805-1893). His first wife was Byron’s daughter, Augusta Ada (d.1852), a mathematician and pioneer of computing, but she died some years before the mausoleum was built and is buried elsewhere. The Earl was a keen amateur architect. Between 1855 and 1860 he transformed the family house by the addition of an extraordinary collection of flint and brick towers, and then went on to construct castellated gateways, lodges, cottages and miles of elaborately patterned wall in the same polychrome style throughout the village. The date of the mausoleum is not known but was clearly part of the same building campaign. The Earl was laid to rest in the mausoleum in 1893, followed by his second wife, Jane, in 1908. Condition Good. The mausoleum was restored in 2008. Generally open to the public on Heritage Open Days.

  • The American University in Cairo Press Centennial Catalog
    The American University in Cairo Press Centennial Catalog New Books 2019 Cover: See The American University in Cairo: 100 Years, 100 Stories, pages 4 and 5 Letter from the Director It gives me great pleasure to join in marking the hundredth anniversary of the founding of our parent institution, the American University in Cairo, with the publication of this celebratory catalog of AUC Press books. Spanning two publication seasons, it features all titles published or forthcoming in 2019 and early 2020, not least The American Uni- versity in Cairo: 100 Years, 100 Stories by Andrew Humphreys (page 4). This engaging and attractive volume is a fitting tribute to AUC’s legacy and a valuable documentation of the people, history, and events that have helped shape the university. Suitably, this catalog also presents James Steele’s survey of the works and architectural philosophy of the principal architect of the Community Design Collaborative, the firm which led the design and construction of AUC’s New Cairo campus, Abdelhalim Ibrahim Abdel- halim: An Architecture of Collective Memory (page 3). Meanwhile Aidan Dodson builds on the success of Sethy I: King of Egypt, His Life and Afterlife (page 16) to bring us the next title in the AUC Press book series on key figures in ancient Egyptian history,Rameses III, King of Egypt, His Life and Afterlife (page 17). This year’s offerings of ancient Egypt titles also include Reg Clark’s Securing Eternity: Ancient Egyptian Tomb Security from Prehistory to the Pyramids (page 19), a study of the evolution of this aspect of tomb architecture over more than two millennia; and a wide-ranging collected volume on non- royal elite autobiographical texts and inscriptions, Living Forever: Self-Presentation in Ancient Egypt (page 19), edited by Hussein Bassir.

  • Il Paesaggio Fiorentino Nelle Opere Di Janet Ross E Vernon Lee*
    Ri-Vista Ricerche per la progettazione del paesaggio Anno 2 - numero 1 - gennaio - giugno 2004 Firenze University Press VISIONI VITTORIANE: IL PAESAGGIO FIORENTINO NELLE OPERE DI JANET ROSS E VERNON LEE*. Gabriele Corsani ABSTRACT Fra l’ultimo scorcio dell’Ottocento e i primi decenni del Novecento Firenze e i suoi dintorni sono il soggetto privilegiato di una grande quantità di descrizioni, note di diario, racconti, opera di scrittori stranieri, in particolare inglesi, che si radicano nell’approdo elettivo di quei luoghi. Il testo presenta la traccia letteraria del paesaggio fiorentino nelle opere di Vernon Lee e Janet Ross, due tipiche rappresentanti di questa tendenza che hanno vissuto, attraverso vicende biografiche in qualche modo parallele, un’esperienza di intensa identificazione con il paesaggio fiorentino. Di Janet Ross, viene commentato Old Florence and Modern Tuscany, volume che raccoglie una serie di articoli pubblicati su alcune riviste inglesi e fornisce una efficace panoramica sull’interesse molto concreto di Janet Ross per il mondo rurale che la vede addirittura impegnata nella gestione della fattoria di Castagnolo, a Lastra a Signa. Più sfaccettato è il commento alle opere di Vernon Lee, di cui sono commentati passi da Vanitas. Polite Stories, Genius Loci, Hortus Vitae and Limbo, in virtù della maggiore ampiezza e complessità del suo mondo culturale. Ne sono cifra distintiva la associazione fra storia e realtà attraverso la dimensione del mistero, che risulta una delle chiavi di acccesso alla bellezza e alla vitalità del

Introduction The transition from a British ‘trading-post empire’ in Asia and Africa to an empire forged by annexation is well enough known, as is the institutional alliance between ‘commerce and Christianity’ that accompanied that transition, and many historians have drawn connections between the two.1 Scholars have also observed the centrality of the Bible to British Protestantism: by identifying denominational variants in Bible-reading, con- necting commercial family bibles with Victorian domesticity, and comparing British and German Old Testament criticism.2 This article asks how Victorians made sense of their empire by referring to the Bible, one of their most important travelling companions.
