Moments of Creation: The Religious Embodiment of Women Prophets and Divine Innovators
Authors: Little Wood Roland 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
To continue the story of Mother Earth: While, at the time, the temporary return of the son back into his mother during an actual childbirth had seemed just an unhappy fortuity, not uncharacteristic of what might be expected from the social (snobbish, ‘correct’) midwives, it remained a frightening experience on which Jeanette continually brooded. Not until her visions a decade later did she begin to realize that this event had been a prefiguring of a cosmic and universal truth: that the Mother’s Son, indeed all men, try to return into a woman’s womb, to destroy her natural fertility and then emulate it as Science. And that it is respectable local women such as nurses who are particularly enlisted in his endeavours.
Naturalistic and Personalistic Models of Thought
Authors: wood Roland 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The human sources of religious experience and belief have been debated since the eighteenth century. To what extent may cosmologies and moral order be derived from—or modelled on—natural phenomena? May we argue that they originate in our experience of the physical world, whether through phenomenological apperception of that world—or else directly through psychophysiology? I am concerned here not with the extent to which religious cosmologies inevitably reproduce certain naturally given psychological capacities-the recent work of Scott Atran and Pascal Boyer—but with the extent to which these constraints themselves are derived from natural models.
Everyday Life in 1969
Authors: Layton Robert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Pellaport is situated on the Plateau of Levier, some kilometres west of Pontarlier. The Plateau of Levier falls within the lowest, or colline zone, of Alpine environments with an altitude ranging between 500 and 1,000 metres (Viazzo 1989: 17). East of Pontarlier rise the mountains which form the Swiss border. To the west the land descends in a series of lime stone plateaux, separated by escarpments. Each plateau is dissected by dry valleys known as combes. The Plateau of Levier is close to two ancient roads which lead from Switzerland into France, one running east from Pontarlier through Levier to Dijon, the other heading north-east towards Besan çon via Ornans (Fig. 1.1). John Berger’s novel Pig Earth is set in the same general region.
Habitus and the Quality of Community Life
Authors: Layton Robert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Chapter 4 assesses the usefulness of Bourdieu’s concept of habitus for the analysis of interpersonal relations and the rituals of daily life in Pellaport. Bourdieu introduced the concept of habitus to explain the connection between cognition and action. Habitus is similar to Giddens’s concept of practical consciousness, that is, knowledge of the rules and tactics which constantly regenerate daily social routines. Bourdieu illustrates the way in which cognitive structures in the Kabyle habitus generate an indefinite number of new symbolic equations, which none the less follow an existing ‘logic’
Introduction
Authors: Merchant Jason 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The primary goal of contemporary theoretical linguistics is to develop a theory of the correspondence between sound (or gesture) and meaning. Nowhere does this sound-meaning correspondence break down more spectacularly than in the case of ellipsis. And yet various forms of ellipsis are pervasive in natural language—words and phrases that by rights should be in the linguistic signal go missing. How is this possible? It is possible because ellipsis is parasitic on redundancy: to paraphrase Wittgenstein, ‘wovon man nicht sprechen muß, darüber kann man schweigen’. Elliptical processes capitalize on the redundancy of certain kinds of information in certain contexts, and permit an economy of expression by omitting the linguistic structures that would otherwise be required to express this information.
Identity in Ellipsis: Focus and Isomorphism
Authors: Merchant Jason 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Despite the stated primary goal of this book to investigate sluicing, any discussion of the general conditions on ellipsis must begin with the best investigated case, VP-ellipsis in English. I therefore start with this case, describing the general results in this area, and then move on to see how these results apply to sluicing, returning only briefly to VP-ellipsis.
Since Tancredi (1992) and Rooth (1992), it has been known that the problem of defining the conditions under which VPs can be elided in English is related to (these authors claim that it forms a subpart of) the problem of defining the conditions under which English VPs can be deaccented, or phonologically reduced. Both problems seem intimately related to general conditions governing the distribution of focus, and several authors have sought to define the appropriate focus conditions for regulating both deaccenting and ellipsis phenomena. While this unification is not entirely uncontroversial (see Winkler 1997 and Lopez 2000 for dissenting views), the intuitions upon which it is founded are quite robust, and it seems like a promising strategy to explore the connections between the two. Nonetheless, as we will see, identifying the conditions under which a VP can be deaccented (treated as given, in the technical sense defined below) does not answer all the questions about the conditions under which a VP can be omitted-ellipsis of a VP has always been taken to be subject to an additional, usually structural constraint as well.
Perceiving Intentions
Authors: Proust Joëlle 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Among the many issues raised as part of the ‘other minds’ problem is the discovery of the ways which justify inferring from public behaviour the existence of mental predicates in others. How does one ‘go beyond’ physical moves, dynamical patterns of bodily segments, to interpret these as buying a ticket, throwing a ball to a dog, expressing joy? A traditional theory suggests that understanding others presupposes understanding oneself. If a subject enjoys access to her own inner states while she acts, she may be able to use analogical reasoning to attribute to others intentions, beliefs, and desires corresponding to her own (Armstrong, 1968).
Basil of Caesarea on the Semantics of Proper Names
Authors: KALLIGAS PAUL 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Philosophical literature in both late antiquity and early Byzantine times usually relies heavily on the tradition of which it forms part. This has sometimes been taken as a mark of lack in originality or even in proper philosophical insight, but it also has created the impression that the contribution made by some of the eminent figures of the period is either dauntingly obscure or hopelessly scholastic. However, not infrequently, the disparaging assessment of these philosophers is due to a misunderstanding of both their particular theoretical aims, and their perception concerning their own role as adherents of a given philosophical tradition. The fact that our knowledge of the developments in the history of philosophy during the vast period between Aristotle and Plotinus is based on evidence which is at best second-rate and at worst distressingly fragmentary deprives us of any real hope of realizing fully the complexities of the theoretical environment within which such thinkers found themselves embedded. Sometimes we get a glimpse of a seemingly arid landscape, ransacked by the intense crossfire of disputation between the various schools during the Hellenistic period, but we are rarely capable of discerning accurately the positions entrenched in it and figuring out the communication and supply lines which used to hold them together into often intricate and meticulously articulated theoretical systems.
Syllogistic in the anon Heiberg
Authors: Barnes Jonathan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The anon Heiberg is a short text in five parts or Chapters: Logic, Arithmetic, Music, Geometry, Astronomy. The parts are of unequal size, the first being by far the longest. The edition prepared by Heiberg and published posthumously in 1929 is based on seven MSS, the earliest of which is dated to 1040. Heiberg describes a further fifteen MSS. I do not know if any more have since been discovered.
1917
Authors: Westwood J N 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It was only to be expected that after two years of war and sacrfice, with no apparent result, Russians would be beginning to ask themselves whether their country was being properly led. This question had been asked by men of knowledge or influence ever since the war started, but during 1916 lack of confidence in the government spread to the people as a whole. ‘That German woman’, the Empress, was suspected of sympathy towards the enemy, and when it was realized that she was, in effect, at the helm in Petrograd while her husband was at GHQ, popular alarm grew.
Stalinism in action
Authors: Westwood J N 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Historians differ as to whether the 1930s constituted the final stage of the Russian Revolution, or whether this was a revolution in itself, or even the ‘real’ revolution. Few Soviet citizens had the time or inclination to ponder this question; they were in the thick of things, involved in an industrialization drive that brought hardship for most and tragedy for many.
Decrepitude
Authors: Westwood J N 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The communist party could justify itself as organizer, planner, and ultimate authority at a time when scarce resources had to be rigorously allocated to the most necessary sectors of the economy. With Sputnik and other projects it had demonstrated what it could do as organizer and inspirer. But the world was changing, and traditional party officialdom risked being seen as unnecessary, if not actually harmful, in a world where the spontaneity and diversity that come from absence of imposed control seemed to bring good rewards. Under Brezhnev, the party would encounter such problems of modernity without, however, always recognizing them.
Transformation
Authors: Westwood J N 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
When Mikhail Gorbachev was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990, Soviet citizens made cynical observations about his greater popularity abroad than at home. But the honour was deserved, even though when he resigned in 1991 the USSR would be in ruins and its people, though free, would be facing an uncertain future. He seemed destined to take his place in history alongside other great transformers. Things did not turn out the way he had hoped, but he switched Russia onto a different and more promising track.
Introduction. The Republic of Letters and Enlightenment
Authors: Brockliss L V B 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
IN THE THREE centuries that preceded the Enlightenment, the establishment world-view which dominated intellectual life can be most conveniently de- scribed as Augustinian. The dominant intellectual force in Europe remained the Church, and the Church, as it had been for a thousand years, was still in the thrall of a particular concept of Christianity associated with Augustine of Hippo. Put simply, it was believed that human nature had been irredeemably destroyed with Adam’s Fall. Not only could mankind no longer perform actions pleasing to God without particular divine assistance or grace, but humanity was henceforth adrift in a merciless natural world over which we had little control. The theological controversies of the Reformation era only gave Augustinianism a new lease of life, for both sides of the debate, Catholic and Protestant, shared a common belief in human corruption and nothing- ness: they argued over the finer points of salvation-theology, not anthropology. In the course of the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries, however, a small, but growing number of artists and intellectuals broke free from the Augustinian maw.
The Bibliophile
Authors: Brockliss L V B 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Calvet’s library was housed in a room on the second floor of his house, probably directly above the salon where he kept his finest antiquities (Fig. 1.3). Normally, members of the Republic of Letters had their library adjacent to or within their study, so Calvet’s arrangement was not ideal, especially as he grew older and became less and less mobile. In the final years of his life he must have been largely dependent on his servant, The ‘re’se, to fetch and carry his books. It can only be assumed that the arrangement was forced upon him by the relatively cramped dimensions of his town house. At one time, shortage of space may even have led him to keep a part of the library in the attic, for in a letter to Se ‘ guier, written in 1768, Calvet revealed that a number of his books had been spoilt by rain entering through the roof. According to the inventory taken on Calvet’s death, the library was decorated with two mirrors and a number of nondescript religious paintings and seascapes, while the floor was cluttered with ten armchairs and two small tables, one in bad condition. The manner in which Calvet displayed his books remains unknown. Although the inventory went on to list his books in detail, they were not catalogued in the order they were found on the shelves. Rather, they were first taken out of the book-cases and sorted according to their size. The inventory then began with the folio volumes, proceeded to the quartos, and concluded with the smaller formats. Calvet’s personal catalogue of his library is no more informative.
Theatres of the Air
Authors: Hendy David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Ian McIntyre ‘s run-ins with Current Affairs dominated public discussion of Radio Four between 1976 and 1978—as would Monica Sims ‘s struggles to help it survive in the face of even more radical plans unveiled over the next four years. Yet behind the politicking the essential work of broadcasting went on, and a different layer of historical change was at work. This moved more slowly and less sensationally, and took place not in the Controller ‘s office or the Boardroom but in the studios and offices of ordinary producers where the ‘supply ‘ departments ruled.
Introduction: Making ‘British-Indians’: Children, Family Traditions of Indian Service, and Cycles of Migration
Authors: Buettner Elizabeth 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
When Rudyard Kipling wrote ‘The Exiles’ Line’ in1890, he shed light on many of the defining features of the British community in late imperial India. To begin with, ‘The Exiles’ Line’ literally referred to the steamships run by the P. & 0. and other companies that not only took Britons to India but also allowed those participating in the work of empire periodically to go home. Between visits to the metropole Britons living in India became ‘exiles’, separated from their national homeland, friends, and many family members. Many, but certainly not all: as Kipling’s poem insists, British men making their careers in India were often accompanied by their wives and children (Illustration r). Over time, India became a family concern as children followed in their parents’ imperial footsteps. ‘Exile’, then, formed part of family lineage ‘from sire to son’ and involved permanent impermanence-repeated comings and goings-between metropole and colony, between ‘home’ and ‘away’.
Danger and Pleasure at the Bungalow: British Children at Home in India
Authors: Buettner Elizabeth 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
With the publication of The Secret Garden in 1911, Frances Hodgson Burnett provided one of the most enduring images of lndia’s impact on British children in popular culture. The novel’s heroine, 10-year-old Mary Lennox, arrived in England after early years in the empire had left their mark on both her body and her character: When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle, everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen ... She had a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair and a sour expression. Her hair was yellow, and her face was yellow because she had been born in India and had always been ill in one way or another ... her mother had been a great beauty who cared only to go to parties and amuse herself with gay people.

‘A bow-legged boy running with a chest of tea between his legs’: Reports, Experiments, and Hallucinations, 1894-1912
Authors: Mills James H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
When the IHDC released its report nobody was interested in it. For those MPs that had shown little concern over the drugs issues of 1893 it was enough that the government had appointed the IHDC and the Opium Commission and that they had reported un disturbing conclusions. For them the matter was closed. For the drugs campaigners the findings of the Opium Commission had been a great disappointment and a source of controversy. The wrangling about its conclusions and about its operations continued to rumble on but it succeeded in dividing campaigners into those that accepted its findings and those that refused to do so. Joshua Rowntree for example wrote a pamphlet denouncing it and he hastily tried to rally the campaigners by assembling the Representative Board of Anti-Opium Societies in 1894. However, the rift within the campaigners’ ranks was open and indeed one of the anti-opium lobby’s appointments to the Commission actually signed the opium report. This was especially significant as he was Arthur Pease, the brother of Sir Joseph Pease, whose 1891 motion in Parliament had sparked off the House of Commons campaign for a Com- mission in the first place. Arthur was forced to resign from the Society for the Suppression of the Opium Trade.
Introduction
Authors: Tookey Helen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In Virginia Woolf Icon (1999), Brenda Silver explores the proliferating and conflicting versions and cultural images of Virginia Woolf-the ways in which Woolf has come to function as icon, as sign. Silver shows how the various images of Woolfs face, in particular, become a kind of visual shorthand for the multiple meanings of ‘Virginia Woolf circulating in contemporary British and American culture’: intellectual, asexual woman/vulnerable beauty/high-cultural snob/feminist pioneer/ frightening madwoman/suicide.
‘As Fluid as Mercury’: Psychoanalysis, Feminism, and Questions of Identity
Authors: Tookey Helen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In April 1932, Nin began her first analysis with Rene Allendy after being introduced by her cousin to the writings of Freud and Jung. In September that year, she wrote to Henry Miller: ‘I have not decided yet whether analysis simplifies and undramatizes our existence, or whether it is the most subtle, the most insidious, the most magnificent way of making dramas more terrible, more maddening ... psychoanalysis, when grasped by the artist, becomes another device by which to create chaos.’ One on level, we can see here another manifestation of the tension I located, in the previous chapter, within Nin’s autobiographical practice: the pull towards ‘wholeness’ or unity of identity, and simultaneously the recognition-even the celebration-of its impossibility.
‘I am the Other Face of You’: Fantasies and Femininity
Authors: Tookey Helen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In House of Incest, Nin’s first published work of fiction and the text which she saw as containing the seeds of all her later writing, we find the image of two women become one, ‘soldered together’ in a fantasy of identification: ‘For an hour you will be me; that is, the other half of yourself. The half you lost’ (185). Sabina and the narrator are two faces of the same woman, revolving like day and night, like a planet-’the “two-faced berm” that makes beauty and death one’:1 Our faces are soldered together by soft hair, soldered together, showing two profiles of the same soul... Only our faces must shine twofold-like day and night— always separated by space and the evolutions of time.
Prefatory Note
Authors: Ricks Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The first part of the book is chronological, and considers poets Augustan, Romantic, and Victorian: Dryden and Pope, Burns, Wordsworth, Byron, Keats, and Tennyson. All are seen under the aegis of the poet as heir. Allusion is one form that inheritance may take, even while inheritance takes diverse forms in different ages and for individual genius.
Keats
Authors: Ricks Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Keats alludes to mythology, history, topical circumstance, and so on, but the present focus is on the calling into play of the words or phrases of a previous writer. An allusion predicates a source (no coincidence), but identifying a source is not the same as postulating an allusion, for a source is not necessarily called into play by its beneficiary. What goes to the making of a poem does not necessarily go to its meaning. Sometimes readers will disagree as to whether a line of Keats had its source in, say, Hamlet; sometimes, readers may agree that such was a source but disagree as to whether he was alluding; and often readers will disagree as to just what they should make of what Keats made of that which he alluded to. This, not because in criticism anything goes, but because much goes.
Loneliness and Poetry
Authors: Ricks Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Set aside, at once, the loneliness of the writer, about which Geoffrey Hill is compassionate and dispassionate. Ample, rather too ample, testimony of this has been heard, often from authors not without self-serving self-pity. This has its comic side, as Henry James perfectly well knew when he plumped this cushion into orotund rotundity.
David Ferry and the Shades of the Dead
Authors: Ricks Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Neo-Latin verses (Politian having been a professor at the University of Florence) are sometimes unjustly judged to be written in a deader than dead language. The destination of the present essay is a neo-Latin poem by Samuel Johnson that David Ferry rendered exquisitely as ‘The Lesson’; meanwhile, there are things to be remarked on the way there.
