Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2016The World and other unpublished works by Radclyffe Hall
by Jana Funke
This book presents a wide range of previously unpublished works by Radclyffe Hall. These new materials significantly broaden and complicate critical views of Hall's writings. They demonstrate the stylistic and thematic range of her work and cover diverse topics, including 'outsiderism', gender, sexuality, race, class, religion, the supernatural and the First World War. Together, these texts shed a new light on unrecognised or misunderstood aspects of Hall's intellectual world. The volume also contains a substantial introduction, which situates Hall's unpublished writings in the broader context of her life and work. Overall, the book invites a critical reassessment of Hall's place in early twentieth-century literature and culture and offers rich possibilities for teaching and future research. It will be of interest to scholars and undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of English literature, modernism, women's writing, and gender and sexuality studies, and to general readers. ;

Biography & True StoriesMarch 1905Alaska Days with John Muir
by Samuel Hall Young
Samuel Hall Young, a Presbyterian clergyman, met John Muir when the great naturalist's steamboat docked at Fort Wrangell, in southeastern Alaska, where Young was a missionary to the Stickeen Indians. In "Alaska Days With John Muir" he describes this 1879 meeting: "A hearty grip of the hand and we seemed to coalesce in a friendship which, to me at least, has been one of the very best things in a life full of blessings." This book, first published in 1915, describes two journeys of discovery taken in company with Muir in 1879 and 1880. Despite the pleas of his missionary colleagues that he not risk life and limb with "that wild Muir," Young accompanied Muir in the exploration of Glacier Bay. Upon Muir's return to Alaska in 1880, they traveled together and mapped the inside route to Sitka. Young describes Muir's ability to "slide" up glaciers, the broad Scotch he used when he was enjoying himself, and his natural affinity for Indian wisdom and theistic religion. From the gripping account of their near-disastrous ascent of Glenora Peak to Young's perspective on Muir's famous dog story "Stickeen," Alaska Days is an engaging record of a friendship grounded in the shared wonders of Alaska's wild landscapes.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2000Cultures of Empire
A reader
by Catherine Hall, Meg Davies
Collects together the best articles by key historians, literary critics, and anthropologists on the cultures of colonialism in the British Empire in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.. A substantial introduction by the distinguished historian, Professor Catherine Hall, discusses new approaches to the history of empire and establishes a narrative frame through which to read the essays which follow.. The volume is clearly divided into three sections: theoretical, emphasising concepts and approaches; the colonisers 'at home', focusing on how empire was lived in Britain; and 'away' - the attempt to construct new cultures through which the colonisers defined themselves and others in varied colonial sites. A useful guide to recent scholarship on the culture of imperialism. ;

April 1978Meinen und Verstehen
Grundzüge einer psychologischen Semantik
by Hans Hörmann
Die Art des menschlichen Daseins und Zusammenseins wird in hohem Maße durch zwei Akte gekennzeichnet, von denen wir nur ganz unbefriedigende wissenschaftliche Kenntnis haben: zwar sind wir uns der Tatsache bewußt, daß wir in der Sprache und mit ihr etwas meinen und etwas verstehen, aber wenn wir eine wissenschaftliche Klärung dessen suchen, was denn »Meinen« und »Verstehen« heißen, und was das »Etwas« ist, das gemeint und verstanden wird – dann finden wir entweder ein zwar einheitliches terminologisches Begriffsgefüge, das aber den verschiedenen Aspekten des Phänomens keineswegs gerecht wird, oder wir finden ganz heterogene und divergierende Sicht- und Analyseweisen, die ohne Berücksichtzigung jeweils anderer Positionen von linguistischer, philosophischer und psychologischer Seite herangetragen werden. Um über Sprachliches sprechen, um etwas über sprachliches Geschehen wissen zu können, kann die Psychologie weder auf die Sprachwissenschaft noch auf die Philosophie der Sprache verzichten. Gerade die Psychologie bedarf der Hilfe dieser anderen Wissenschaften, um nicht in planlosen Empirismus oder aber in leere Begriffsklitterung zu verfallen. Aber auch Linguistik und Sprachphilosophie vermögen eine befriedigende Klärung nicht jeweils allein zu erreichen – sie benötigen die Psychologie, um durch den Widerstand der Realität allzu planvoller Spekulation zu entgehen. Das vorliegende Buch ist als Grenzüberschreitung par excellence angelegt. Es will dem Leser nicht »ein« System oder Modell des Meinens und Verstehens oder gar der Sprache oder des Sprechens vermitteln, denn solche Modelle könnten beim gegenwärtigen Stand unseres Wissens nur entweder zwar realitätsnah, aber wenig aussagekräftig sein, oder allzu spekulativ. Was dieses Buch anstrebt, ist sowohl bescheidener als auch anspruchsvoller: es will durch ständiges Hin-und-her-Gehen zwischen Linguistik, Psycholinguistik und Sprachphilosophie dem Leser deutlich machen, was er berücksichtigen Sollte, wenn er über Mei

Acts of supremacy
by J. Bratton, Richard Cave, Brendan Gregory, Michael Pickering
Imperialist discourse interacted with regional and class discourses. Imperialism's incorporation of Welsh, Scots and Irish identities, was both necessary to its own success and one of its most powerful functions in terms of the control of British society. Most cultures have a place for the concept of heroism, and for the heroic figure in narrative fiction; stage heroes are part of the drama's definition of self, the exploration and understanding of personal identity. Theatrical and quasi-theatrical presentations, whether in music hall, clubroom, Shakespeare Memorial Theatre or the streets and ceremonial spaces of the capital, contributed to that much-discussed national mood. This book examines the theatre as the locus for nineteenth century discourses of power and the use of stereotype in productions of the Shakespearean history canon. It discusses the development of the working class and naval hero myth of Jack Tar, the portrayal of Ireland and the Irish, and the portrayal of British India on the spectacular exhibition stage. The racial implications of the ubiquitous black-face minstrelsy are focused upon. The ideology cluster which made up the imperial mindset had the capacity to re-arrange and re-interpret history and to influence the portrayal of the tragic or comic potential of personal dilemmas. Though the British may have prided themselves on having preceded America in the abolition of slavery and thus outpacing Brother Jonathan in humanitarian philanthropy, abnegation of hierarchisation and the acceptance of equality of status between black and white ethnic groups was not part of that achievement.

The ArtsMay 2003Scotland and the music hall, 1850–1914
by Paul Maloney, Jeffrey Richards
Music hall reflected the lifestyles and preoccupations of working people in a way that only television in the modern era has done since. While London dominated the wider British music hall, Glasgow was the centre of a vigorous Scottish performing culture developed in a Presbyterian society with a very different experience of industrial urbanisation. This book explores all aspects of the Scottish music hall industry, from the lives and professional culture of performers and impresarios to the place of music hall in Scottish life. It explores issues of national identity in terms of Scottish audiences' responses to the promotion of imperial themes in songs and performing material, and in the version of Scottish identity projected by Lauder and other kilted acts at home and abroad. ;
