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.

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)
