First Published in 1981. Pater is certainly the least widely read
and understood of any of the Victorian critics and creative
writers, though there are signs of a coming revival of interest in
him. Each of the discussions included in this issue devoted to
Pater touches, in some significant way, on his "imaginative sense
of fact," on his struggle with the objective 'givens' of experience
(ideas or individuals), and on his efforts to co-opt or turn that
Other into a reordered reflection of his own image.
First published in 1982. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.

Exploring contemporary theory and practice surrounding loss and
bereavement for people with intellectual disabilities (ID), this
book brings together international contributors with a range of
academic, professional and personal experience. This authoritative
edited book looks at diverse experiences of loss across this
population whether it be loss due to transition, the loss or death
of others, or facing their own impending death. The book begins by
offering theoretical perspectives on loss and compassion,
bereavement, disenfranchised grief, spirituality, and psychological
support. It then addresses contemporary practice issues in health
and social care contexts and explores loss for specific communities
with ID including children, individuals with autism, those in
forensic environments, and those at the end of life. Identifying
inherent challenges that arise when supporting individuals with ID
experiencing loss, and providing evidence and case studies to
support best practice approaches, this book will be valuable
reading for students, academics and professionals in the fields of
disability, health and social care.
A book of clear verse. Geese migrate through its lines. Tall ships
leave Liverpool Bay. An iceberg breaks free of Antarctica. Ivory
burns in Kenya. The healing of the rift between nations is
contemplated. An exhibition of Pre-Raphaelite art is visited. The
crossing of the Rubicon is dared. Franz Kafka writes his tales. The
spirit of T.S. Eliot revisits The Waste Land. Shakespeare drinks
with his acting company. Autumn in Yerevan, Armenia, is mirrored.
Utopia is mused on. Childhood is remembered. Love celebrated.
Archie Leach sails from Bristol to New York. Matthew Flinders
becomes the first man to circumnavigate Australia. Noah's ark moors
on mount Ararat. The death of the last white rhinoceros is
lamented. Weland the smith lifts his hammer. Hugh Minn finds an
alien in his loft. Various other visions and inspirations are
explored. Readers of these lines will hopefully find them worthy of
study.
Still the Dawn. A book of poems and ballads. Poems written to
preserve memories, explore moods, emotions, art, myths, real events
and dreams, together with some attempts at light verse, even
nonsense. Ballads that tell tales, reflect on the seasons, time and
its passing. The poet enters the mead hall, un-lids his word hoard,
recites. He shares his gift. Those who attend to his works, he
hopes to entertain.
On the planet Ankor, Klubbe the turkle lives as a hermit. A marine
mishap inspires him to be an inventor. His inventions and
explorations change his life, his entire planet. Turkles are close
cousins of turtles. Unlike them, they have yellow golden skin and
back shells, walk on their hind legs, have the gift of language,
and the ability to create their own culture. The life of Klubbe may
read like a light-hearted science fiction story, but it actually
happened to him. Princess Corka thinks his invention is sublime.
Ubbtosh, the pyramid priest, promises to guide him to the core of
the cosmos. In space, there are no sign posts, he finds, but there
are other beings. And on Ankor, there are mysteries to be solved.
Is the Great Glom more than a myth? And what about the Great Archy
Eopta?
'Englishness' is by no means the defining quality of those living
in the territory that has come to be England, but a concept that
has been made and remade throughout history, expressing itself
through existing symbols and ideas. This volume of wide-ranging
essays constitutes a major work on English national identity and
patriotism as it evolved during the period1880-1920, has had a
significant impact on writing and research in the field and is
considered a definitive text for students of modern British history
and many other courses in politics, sociology and literature.
Divided into two sections, essays in the first half of the book
explore Englishness and national culture, considering the English
rural ideology that endured in spite of England's status as an
industrial nation; the invention of English literature; the
identity of English music and the reception of Elgar; and the
constructed image of the 'Englishwoman' in the period. The second
half of the book focuses on political culture, with essays
discussing the Irish as 'marginal Britons'; the permeation of
Liberalism into English society and politics after the fall of the
party itself; the relationship between patriotism and Conservative
politics; and the perhaps lesser-known role played by socialism in
the construction of Englishness. This updated edition of
"Englishness" contains a new introduction and afterword, which set
this key work in the context of research done since its original
publication and relate it to current debates on the topic of
Britain as a multi-national state. This important volume contains
ideas that are still pertinent today, and its enduring contemporary
relevance makes it essential reading for students and scholars.
