Nature into Art: Travel Descriptions and Pictorialist Models
Authors: Tooke Adrianne 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Description is the distinguishing feature of the travel account, according to Flaubert. When he writes to dissuade the young Ernest Feydeau from writing one, he does so on the grounds that Feydeau no longer needed to prove his descriptive talents. Flaubert found travel to be a constant test for his descriptive techniques. His text is haunted by silence, to an extent that goes beyond the conventional rhetorical mode of preterition. Certain landscapes reduce Flaubert to silence, just as we have seen that he is silenced by certain paintings: ‘on ne saurait dire ce qui se passe en vous à de pareils spectacles’ (PC ro: 336).
The Heritage Film and Cultural Politics: Genninal (Berri, I993)
Authors: Cousins Russell 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
ZOLA’S Germinal (1885), an epic novel about a mining community driven by starvation wages to strike action and destructive violence, was inspired by the 1884 pit strike at Anzin which was brought to a brutal and murderous end by troops. The author’s uncompromising fictionalized version of these events shocked and shamed contemporary readers who, perhaps for the first time, came to realize the human price of coal.
Sleepless in Paris: J’ai pas sommeil (Denis, I993)
Authors: Marker Cynthia 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Claire Denis’s ]’ai pas sommeil rev1s1ts cultural conflicts alluded to in her earlier films: Chaco/at (1988), the much acclaimed and loosely autobiographical story of a young French girl growing up in colonial Africa, and S’en (out la mart (1990), about the struggles of two immigrants, one West Indian, the other African, in Paris. Equally preoccupied with issues of race and iden tity, Denis’s third feature film was inspired by the infamous ‘Paulin Affair’ which exploded in the French press in 1987 when two young Caribbean immigrants, Thierry Paulin (dubbed the ‘granny killer’ by the French tabloids) and his gay lover Jean-Thierry Mathurin, were arrested for robbing, torturing, and murdering more than twenty elderly women over the course of two years in Paris’s peripheral eighteenth arrondissement.
Representation, Masculinity, Nation: The Crises of Les Amants du Pont-Neuf (Carax, I99I)
Authors: Hayes Graeme 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Three years in the making, dogged by accidents, vastly over budget, and constantly delayed, Les Amants du Pont-Neu( was finally released in 1991. Reviews were mixed. Some, particularly the Cahiers du cinema, championed Carax as ‘the most gifted filmmaker of his generation’ (Taboulay 1991: 15), his view personal, poetic, brilliant; others were less impressed. Many of these contrasted the excess of the film-making —the budget, the reconstructed set of Paris, the casting of Juliette Binoche as a down-and out, the quasi-epic time-span of the shooting —with the raw subject matter; the treatment of homelessness as a spectacular love story produced criticism that the film was nothing more than a hollow, even immoral, self-indulgent lifestyle movie.
Cats in the ‘Hood: The Unspeakable Truth about Chacun cherche son chat (Klapisch, I996)
Authors: Ezra Elizabeth 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In Cedric Klapisch’s Chacun cherch é son chat, Chloe, a painfully thin, Olive Oyle lookalike, is awkward and lonely. Treated with contempt at the modelling agency where she works as a make-up assistant, she has very few friends, and is alternately ignored and mistreated by men: she is looking for something, and not just her lost cat. Chloe’s search for her beloved Gris-gris mobilizes most of the community; much of the film (which, like the cat, wandered out of its boundaries to become a feature-length work instead of the short subject initially planned) is spent following people as they scour the streets and alleyways of Paris’s rapidly changing faubourg Saint-Antoine in search of the lost pet. However, for all the meandering the characters do, for all the distance they cover, the film is very narrowly confined geographically: it is fundamentally an anatomy of the local, a meditation not only on the concept of change but on changing conceptions of neighbourhood, neigh bourliness, and community.
Nationality, Authenticity, Reflexivity: Kieslowski's Trois couleurs: Bleu (I993), Blanc (I993), and Rouge (I994)
Authors: Dobson Julia 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Kieslowski'S Three Colours trilogy comprising Bleu (1993), Blanc (1993), Rouge (1994), three films of enormous emotional impact and complex ethical engagement, occupies an important place in the study of contemporary French cinema as locus of engagement with constructions of both French cinema and film itself.
‘Ung Lieu De Si Grand Seureté’: The Body As A Building (II)
Authors: Cowling David 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In the secular tradition, the castle of the body can be an extremely perilous place, and the consequences of capitulation to the besieging forces can be dire. Contemporary devotional texts that exploit the metaphor of the body as a building start from the same basic premiss but, optimistically, stack the odds in favour of the defenders. Gabrielle de Bourbon, patroness of the rhétoriqueur Jean Bouchet, shares with other writers of devotional allegories a desire to foreground the protective function of the building she describes in her fort Chasteau pour la retraicte de toutes bonnes ames: such an edifice, constructed at the behest of the Holy Spirit, offers the best chance of defence in an imperfect world.
Feminist Discourse and Spanish Cinema
Authors: Martin-Marquez Susan 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
ANY discussion of women film-makers and feminist cinema must inevitably contend with a post-structuralist theoretical dilemma: in an era ushered in by the proclamation of the death of the author and the dispersal of the subject, how is it possible to theorize a female agency within the cinematographic realm? Feminist critics working in both literature and film have responded to questions of authorship and agency in a number of different ways. The demise of the author, as announced first by Roland Barthes and then by Michel Foucault, has in fact been celebrated by some feminists.
Inculcating the Feminine: Socialization within Patriarchy and Matriarchy
Authors: Martin-Marquez Susan 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
IN a provocative article now considered a classic of Spanish cinema studies, Marsha Kinder seeks to account for the plethora of films featuring children which emerged in the early 1970s, as well as for the peculiar ways in which these young characters were portrayed. Kinder relates the phenomenon to the film makers’ own personal trajectories as ‘the children of Franco’, the first generation to have grown up under the dictatorship.
Elusive Song: Flamenco as Field and Passage for the Gitanos in Córdoba Prison
Authors: Nair Parvati 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Flamenco has long provided the Western imaginary with a location for passion. Popular definitions of the word ‘flamenco’ blur the music with the dance style and the Andalusian with the gypsy, yet intimate that these are separate and interdependent components of a single regional and cultural expression.It would appear that the gitano, with his supposed darkness of skin, eyes, and temperament, exemplifies in extreme the southern Spaniard when viewed as exotic or passionate Other. Consider the following description by William Washabaugh in his Flamenco: Passion, Politics and Popular Culture of the singer El Agujetas, father of one of the protagonists of my pro ject: ‘He was dressed all in black. His billows of curly black hair framed a scarred face that Clint Eastwood would covet [ . . . ] And then Agujetas began to sing, though at the time I would have said that his voice was not singing, so much as ripping and tearing at his soul. .
Ethnic and Racial Configurations in Contemporary Spanish Culture
Authors: Santaolalla Isabel 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In modern times Spain has seen itself, with due acknowledgement of an endogamous gypsy community, as an ethnically homogeneous country. Even though under Franco lip service was paid to the idea of cultural heterogeneity, the real force of the regime’s propaganda lay in its emphasis on a unifying concept of nationalism, to some degree acknowledging regional difference, but stressing shared historical and cultural legacies, and glossing over the country’s non European ethnic and racial traditions. Yet the denial of that heritage in the self perception of the majority of the population is coming under increasing pressure at a time of changing cultural and social patterns.
Musical Battles: Populism and Hegemony in the Early Francoist Folkloric Film Musical
Authors: Labanyi Jo 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this article I should like to analyse the Spanish cinematic genre of the folkloric film musical, which enjoyed massive popularity with lower class and especially female audiences in the early Franco period, in terms of Gramsci’s key concepts of the ‘national popular’ and ‘hegemony’. The genre has generally been dismissed by Span ish film directors and critics, reflecting the unfortunate tendency in Spanish film criticism to scorn popular cinema. The proliferation of folkloric film musicals in the 1940s and early 1950s has encouraged perceptions of it as mindless escapism serving the early Francoist political project. Of the two books on the subject, Pineda Novo (1991) consists in trivializing anecdote about its hugely popular female stars; while Moix (1993) lays the ground for a contestatory reading by reclaiming the genre for gay spectators.
Minsters and Parish Churches
Authors: Fernie Eric 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The spiritual needs of the laity in Anglo-Saxon England were provided for by a system of minsters, (‘minster’ being derived from the Old English form of the Latin monasteriupz), which included houses of secular priests as well as those of monks. In the eleventh century, because of economic growth in the countryside and the demands of the Gregorian reform for ecclesiastical control of church appointments, the areas served by the minsters began to be broken up into parishes based on manors and villages; new churches were built, each in the charge of a resident priest, an argument which was to be standard for the rest of the Middle Ages and which remains so today. It has: been estimated that there were almost 10,000 parish churches in England by the sixteenth century, and that the majority of those which survive have a core datable between 1050 and 1200.1 The buildings of the first seventy years of this span are in many respects a continuation of Anglo-Saxon practice, in plan types, especially two-cell churches, often with a square east end and a western tower, and forms of decoration adapted to new uses and in new combinations.
John Donne: ‘Farewell To Love’
Authors: Ricks Christopher 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Donne’s poems, whether or not they are personal memories, record a dislike of having come. Post-coital sadness and revulsion are grimly seized, but what is more grim is that the poems are so often driven to bend this animus upon their own previous act of creative love. The old criticism of Donne was that he did not create whole poems; for me, this takes shape in the recurrent phenomenon of how unhealthily the poems end. Of the half-dozen essential instances, ‘Farewell to Love’ may be the starting-point, an extremity.
Racine’s Phèdre, Lowell’s Phaedra
Authors: Ricks Christopher 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Lowell set himself to translate Racine in the knowledge that this was a field which had never been won. Extremity was forced upon Lowell. After such knowledge, what forgiveness? Lowell’s critics have proved duly unforgiving: they have refused to admit that here the history of unsuccess had been such as to call for extreme measures. Here is the emergency. First, Racine has always frustrated English hopes, being one of the great writers (European, too) never brought home in English translation. There is no Racine alive in the language as Dryden’s Juvenal is, or even Florio’s Montaigne. More: no translation of Racine into English has ever made anybody’s modest enduring reputation; there is no equivalent of Cary’s staunch dominie Dante.
Austin’s Swink
Authors: Ricks Christopher 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The author of How to do things with Words’ knew how to do things with such wording as constitutes allusion-as is clear from J. L. Austin’s having given the world Sense and Sensibilia. The famous joke, which is not without pride and prejudice, is more than a quip because the displaced word sensibility so much enters, not into the equation, but into the opposite of equation. For a start, the register of ‘sensibilia’ is deliciously registered as coldshouldering the warm thought of ‘sensibility’.
Katherine Colyear (Countess of Dorchester), née Sedley (1657-1717)
Authors: Stevenson Jane , Davidson Peter 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Katherine Sedley was The daughter of a minor literary figure, Sir Charles Sedley, poet and playwright, and his wife Katherine, née Savage. Circa 1672, he sent his wife to a nunnery at Ghent, and went through a form of marriage with a gendewoman called Ann Ayscough. When Katherine was only 15, she was already describable (by John Evelyn) as ‘none of The most virtuous but a witt’.
A lady (fl. 1688)
Authors: Stevenson Jane , Davidson Peter 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Like The poem of’A Young Lady of Quality’ (no. 271) this may possibly be an early work of Delarivier Manley (nos. 275-7). It is interesting for its attestation of The immense importance of Aphra Behn as example and inspiration to oTher women, and also for its covert declaration of a shared political position—Aphra Behn’s response to The Glorious Revolution was to consider The rule of Queen Mary legitimated by her status as daughter of James II, and to ignore William III entirely: The ‘Lady’ commends her for this delicate balance of exigency and principle.
A Young Lady of Quality (fl. 1689)
Authors: Stevenson Jane , Davidson Peter 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The author of this long and ambitious poem on The death of Aphra Behn, which simultaneously claims that The throne of The Tenth Muse is empty, and makes a tacit bid to occupy it, is most probably a youthful Delarivier Manley: since The poem so unmistakably breaThes an ambition to occupy a place in The public world of literature, it is probable that its writer is someone who subsequently became more visible. Mrs Manley, daughter of Sir Roger Manley of Denbighshire, could very properly describe herself as a ‘young lady of quality’, and might already have been looking for a literary career (see biographical entry on Delarivier Manley).
Anonymous (‘A Lady of Honour’) (Fl-1699)

Abstract
The Scotswoman who wrote The Golden Island was seeking to raise support for a Scottish settlement in Panama (The ‘Darien Scheme’). This was Scotland’s principal attempt to jump on The bandwagon of colonialism, following The model provided by The English East India Company, and was one of The last gestures towards an economically independent Scotland before The Union with England of 1707.

Claire Clairmont and the Shelleys 1798-1879
Authors: Gittings Robert , Manton Jo 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Claire Clairmont, the stepsister of Mary Shelley, has usually been presented as a minor, though damaging figure in the great dramas of Shelley and Byron. This first continuous account of her long and adventurous life describes her upbringing in Godwin's progressive household, her close but ambiguous relationship with Percy and Mary Shelley, and her role as the mother of Allegra, her illegitimate daughter by Byron, who died in childhood. It continues with the struggle to maintain herself independently after Shelley's death, refusing offers of marriage and working as governess among a variegated series of families in Florence, Vienna, Petersburg, Moscow, Paris, and London. Drawing on her vivid letters and journals, the authors portray a woman of talent and resilience making her way in nineteenth-century Europe. They show her sharp judgement, her powers of observation, her flair for languages, and the lovely singing voice which drew poems from Shelley and Byron. Robert Gittings and Jo Manton bring into focus a lesser-known life of much drama and pathos, at the same time enhancing our knowledge of the main characters of the Romantic movement, and their world.
Deaths by Land and Sea ( 1822)
Authors: Gittings Robert , Manton Jo 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Byron’s movements, always important to Claire, were now entirely ruled by his liaison with Teresa Guiccioli. Her separation from her elderly husband was by Pope Pius VII so long as she lived with her father. As Byron wrote to his half-sister on 5 October 182 r, when the father was exiled from Ravenna on suspicion of anti government plots, they had to go to Pisa,’& there I go to join them’. He set out on this expedition with large wagons full of personal possessions, including his menagerie.
Democratizing Sir Thomas Browne
Authors: Havenstein Daniela 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Criticism on Sir Thomas Browne is at present in a state of limbo. Little or no attention is paid to his once famous style, while his political attitudes have increasingly jarred with current trends in literary criticism. Democratizing Sir Thomas Browne offers a reconsideration both of Religio Medici's style and of its early reception history, especially as witnessed by a group of late-seventeenth and early eighteenth-century texts that can loosely be described as 'imitations'. The first part of the book focuses on this hitherto neglected aspect of the reception of Religio Medici, establishing and then analysing examples of imitation, plagiarism, and animadversion, with particular reference to three books which are outstanding in this respect: Sir George Mackenzie's Religio Stoici(1663), John Dunton and Benjamin Bridgwater's Religio Bibliopolae (1691), and Richard Burridge's Religio Libertini (1712). The many and complex responses to Browne's Religio Medici bear witness to the book's centrality in the period: examination of these responses permits a more differentiated assessment of the work itself, and a deeper understanding of seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century mentalities. The second part of the book attempts to create a new context for the study of seventeenth-century prose by re-examining Morris W. Croll's analysis of Browne's idiom in Religio Medici employing quantitative techniques, the use of which is itself subjected to analysis. Particular attention is paid to word-classes, word-patterns, and lexis. The results of this quantitative investigation are then used as the parameters for comparing the work's three major 'imitations'. To embed this study into a broader seventeenth-century framework, a group of control writers is also examined: John Donne, Jeremy Taylor, and Richard Baker. Freeing Browne from the corset of previous stylistic criticism, will, it is hoped, pave the way for a reconsideration of his style and that of seventeenth-century prose more generally.
Religio Writing in the Seventeenth and Early Eighteenth Centuries
Authors: Havenstein Daniela 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The frequency of editions and reprints of Religio Medici between 1642 and 1685 leaves no doubt as to its popularity in the seventeenth century. Romantic claims that Browne was ‘not concerned with the hopes and fears, the loves and hates and follies of the man of his day’ stand in sharp contrast to the historical evidence. ‘Greater familiarity with the literature of the seventeenth century’, Keynes emphasizes, ‘has led to the detection of many more interesting references to Browne’ (171). It has also sharpened our awareness of the centrality of his thought in his time.
Religio Medici and the Restoration Virtuoso
Authors: Havenstein Daniela 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Uncritical historiography has tarnished the reputation of both Browne and Mackenzie. Conolly Norman takes exception to the erection of Browne’s statue on Hay Hill in Norwich because of his role in the witch trial of Rose Cullender and Amy Drury at Bury St Edmunds (1664). Agnes Taylor Innes documents the portrayal of Mackenzie as the persecutor of Scotland’s ‘defenceless saints’, the Covenanters.
Anatomizing Croll and Religio Medici
Authors: Havenstein Daniela 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
We are now uniquely equipped for the task of scrutinizing Croll’s theories. Quantitative techniques, if employed carefully, open avenues to examine most of his generalizations, as these are based on central, quanitifiable features of prose style-conjunctions. Having transferred the text of Browne’s Religio Medici, that of the three main imitators, and 4,000-word text samples from a control group of contemporary authors (Donne’s Essays in Divinity and his Devotions upon Emergent Occasions, Baker’s Meditations and Disquistions on the Lords Prayer, and Taylor’s A Discourse of the Liberty of Prophesying) onto disk, I have been able to make use of electronic text-analysis tools.

The Lancastrian Affinity and Local Society: Norfolk and the North Midlands
Authors: Walker Simon 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Norfolk provides a strong contrast to Lancashire in geographical, tenurial, and economic terms, and the position of the Lancastrian affinity in the county is predictably very different. Unlike Lancashire, Norfolk was a prosperous and comparatively open society, remaining one of the richest counties in England throughout the later middle ages. A fragmented manorial structure and a long tradition of freehold tenure gave the East Anglian peasantry an exceptional independence whilst, at a higher tenurial level, many magnates held land in the county but none held enough to establish an unquestioned landed pre-eminence.2 In consequence, the comparative freedom of the peasantry was matched by the independence of the gentry, who had the choice of many lords to serve and the wealth to maintain their independence if they wished. In 1366 the sheriff of Norfolk returned the names of 32 gentlemen in the county with an annual income over.
The First World War
Authors: Offer Avner 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This is a completely new interpretation of the First World War. Dr Offer weaves together the economic and social history of the English-speaking world, the Pacific Basin, and Germany, with the development of food production and consumption. He argues that the roots of Germany ‘s defeat went back to the late-Victorian decline of British agriculture and the development of Canada, Australia, and the United States as agrarian exporters, while the agrarian interests of America and Australia were crucial in shaping the peace. The book examines the relation between economic and military power, and legal and moral questions of selecting civilians as a strategic target.
