First published in 1986, this book sets Kipling firmly in the
historical context not only of contemporary India but of prior
Anglo-Indian writers about India. Despite his enthusiastic
reception in England as 'revealer of the East', in India he seems
to have been regarded as just one more Anglo-Indian writer. The
author demonstrates the traditionalism of Kipling's use of the
themes of Anglo-Indian fiction - themes such as the 'White Man's
grave', domestic instability, frustration and loneliness. In
particular, Kipling is shown to be writing in a strongly
conservative idiom, concentrating on the role of the British
hierarchy as the determining factor in a response to India, on
British insecurity and fears of a repeat of 1857 mutiny, and
regarding Indian institutions only in so far as they represented a
threat to British rule. Conservative critiques of liberalism are
also discussed.

`A series which is a model of its kind.' EDMUND KING, HISTORY The
latest volume in the series concentrates, as always, on the half
century before and the century after 1066, with papers which have
many interconnections and range across different kinds of history.
There is a particular focuson church history, with contributions on
an Anglo-Saxon archiepiscopal manual, architecture and liturgy in
post-Conquest Lincolnshire, Anglo-Norman cathedral chapters, and
twelfth-century views of the tenth-century monastic reform. Other
topics considered include social history (the Anglo-Norman family),
gender (William of Malmesbury's representation of Bishop Wulfstan
of Worcester), and politics (the sheriffs of Northumberland and
Cumberland 1170-1185). The volume is completed with articles on
Domesday Book and the post-Domesday Evesham Abbey surveys, and a
double paper on land tenure and royal patronage. Contributors:
STEPHEN BAXTER, JOHN BLAIR, HOWARD CLARKE, TRACEY-ANN COOPER,HUGH

The protocol provides sampling designs and methodologies for
assessing cave environmental parameters in the contexts of
supporting long-term cave system monitoring, providing
management-directed assessment of local and site-specific
conditions. The protocol also provides environmental conditional
assessment in support of biotic sampling and monitoring being
performed in caves as addressed by other Cumberland Piedmont
Network (CUPN) monitoring protocols.
