At the outbreak of the Second World War U.S.S. Quail was in the
Philippines sweeping mines to provide access for American shipping
to South Harbor, Corregidor. Damaged by enemy bombs and guns during
the Japanese invasion of the island, Lieutenant Commander John
Morrill and his fellow men decided to make the decision to scuttle
their ship rather than allow it to be captured. This led them to
begin one of the most daring escapes of the Second World War.
First published edition of documents and letters from a
highly-significant incident within the nineteenth-century Catholic
church. The row between Bishop Herbert Vaughan of Salford and the
Jesuits became a cause celebre in the 1870s and was only settled
eventually in Rome after the personal intervention of the pope.
While the immediate issue was the provision of secondary education,
at stake were key questions of authority that had troubled the
English Catholic community for centuries; the solution played a
major part in determining the relationship between the newly
restored bishops and the Religious Orders. This volume brings
together for the first time all the relevant English and foreign
archival sources and enables the reader to take a balanced view of
the whole issue. The documents and letters [including Vaughan's
private diary] paint an intriguing and not always flattering
picture of the principal combatants. Bishop Vaughan [later Cardinal
Archbishop of Westminster] was a determined champion of his own and
his fellow-bishops' rights as diocesan bishops. Against him stood
the leaders of the Jesuit Order, jealous of their traditional
privileges and heirs to centuries of service to the English
Catholic community. By the 1870s that community wasbeginning to
develop a commercial and professional middle class who demanded
secondary education for their children. Many of them looked to the
Jesuits to provide it and they claimed the right to do so,
irrespective of the wishesand rights of the bishop. The source
material is accompanied by an introduction placing them into their
social and historical context, and explanatory notes. It forms an
important addition to an understanding of the nineteenth-century
English Catholic Church. Father Martin John Broadley is a priest in
the Catholic diocese of Salford; he also lectures at the University
of Manchester.
The modern Christmas was made by the Victorians and rooted in their
belief in commerce, family and religion. Their rituals and
traditions persist to the present day but the festival has also
been changed by growing affluence, shifting family structures,
greater expectations of happiness and material comfort,
technological developments and falling religious belief. Christmas
became a battleground for arguments over consumerism, holiday
entitlements, social obligations, communal behaviour and the
influence of church, state and media. Even in private, it
encouraged reflection on social change and the march of time.
Amongst those unhappy at the state of the world or their own lives,
Christmas could induce much cynicism and even loathing but for a
quieter majority it was a happy time, a moment of a joy in a
sometimes difficult world that made the festival more than just an
integral feature of the calendar: Christmas was one of British
culture's emotional high points. Moreover, it was also a testimony
to the enduring importance of family, shared values and a common
culture in the UK. Martin Johnes shows how Christmas and its
traditions have been lived, adapted and thought about in Britain
since 1914. Christmas and the British is about the festival's
social, cultural and economic functions, and its often forgotten
status as both the most unusual and important day of the year
