Both Tennyson and the term 'Englishness' - coined in 1804 - date
from the same decade and critics identified Tennyson as an English
poet from the first reviews of his published poems in the 1820s. As
Poet Laureate, Tennyson became the authoritative public voice of
English poetry and one of the 'thinking men of England'. By the
late nineteenth century, an ideology of Englishness had been
established which was reflected in and shaped by cultural forces
and emerging myths in general and Tennyson's poetry in particular.
This wide-ranging study examines Tennyson's 'domestic poetry' - his
portrayals of English nature and landscape, monarchy, medievalism,
and the 'English Empire', written throughout his career and in
their changing nineteenth-century context - to confirm that many
representations of England and the English were fabrications, more
idealised than real.
This book examines the influence of the intellectual property laws
and practices on formal and informal institutions and patterns of
behavior, focusing on the relation between intellectual property
protection and economic development. It is written for both policy
makers and scholars.
Speaking very roughly, countries with advanced economies tend to be
those displaying intellectual property protection systems in which
the public has a basic degree of confidence. Those systems, when
they are thought about at all rather than taken for granted, are
thought of as reasonably effective in safeguarding innovation and
creative expressio
Through an examination of Tennyson's 'domestic poetry' - his
portrayals of England and the English - in their changing
nineteenth-century context, this book demonstrates that many of his
representations were 'fabrications', more idealized than real,
which played a vital part in the country's developing identity and
sense of its place in the world.

Little Henry was raised in India by his bearer, a servant who takes
care of children. He was taught the Hindu religion until a
missionary lady from England taught him about Jesus Christ, and he
embraced salvation wholeheartedly. When she left she told him, by
God's grace, to try to bring his bearer to Christ. It wasn't until
Henry was on his deathbed, at 8 years old, did his bearer come to
Christ. This narrative was very popular in the early 19th century
and reportedly sold numerous editions and was translated into many
languages.

The art of Samuel Bak depicts a world destroyed and yet
provisionally pieced back together. Across nearly seven decades of
artistic production Samuel Bak has explored and reworked a set of
metaphors, a visual grammar and vocabulary, that ultimately
privileges questions. Bak's pictorial readings invite
reconsideration of the Post-Reformation privileging of word over
image, and of the Post-Enlightenment privileging of reason over
experience. Bak preserves memory of the twentieth century ruination
of Jewish life and culture by way of an artistic passion and
precision that stubbornly announces the creativity of the human
spirit.
De preek is een van de belangrijke genres in de Middelnederlandse
geestelijke literatuur, naast de mystieke literatuur, het
heiligenleven, het gebed en de bijbelvertaling. De preek is ook een
prominente historische bron, omdat zij bij uitstek een middel was
om religieuze, morele en culturele normen, waarden en attitudes te
verbreiden. Overgeleverde preken zijn daarom niet alleen waardevol
voor kerk- en literatuurgeschiedenis, maar ook voor de
cultuurgeschiedenis in het algemeen, de ideeen- en
mentaliteitsgeschiedenis. achtergebleven bij het historisch belang
ervan. Dit komt onder meer doordat vooralsnog een goed overzicht
van de bewaarde preken ontbrak. Het Repertorium van
Middelnederlandse preken, voortgekomen uit het VNC-project
Middelnederlandse preken (Vrije Universiteit van Amsterdam en
Universiteit Antwerpen - UFSIA), wil deze leemte opvullen. Deel I
bevat de preken uit de collecties te Antwerpen (Museum
Plantin-Moretus, Ruusbroecgenootschap) en Brussel (Koninklijke
Bibliotheek, Bibliotheek van de Bollandisten, Stadsarchief). Deel
II is de inventaris van de preken uit de collecties van Den Haag
(Koninklijke Bibliotheek, Museum Meermanno-Westreenianum/Museum van
het Boek) en Leiden (Universiteitsbibliotheek). Deel III, de
registers, ontsluit dit onmisbaar instrument voor iedereen die op
het gebied van de middeleeuwse geestelijke volkstalige literatuur
onderzoek verricht (Peeters 2003)
It's been argued that we live in a dog's world, and The Dog Fanatic
brings to life the joys of being in their presence with hundreds of
slobbery, trick-performing, tail-wagging quotes that remind us just
why we call them man's best friend. With contributions from notable
dog lovers including Winston Churchill, Ann Landers, Don Marquis,
E. B. White, and Franz Kafka, to name a few, The Dog Fanatic will
surely tickle your funny bone and leave you panting for more.
