The Hadrian’s Wall Community Archaeology Project (WallCAP) was
funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund to promote the value
of heritage – specifically of the Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage
Site – to local communities, and to provide opportunities for
volunteers to engage with the archaeology and conservation of the
Wall to better ensure the future of the monument. This short book
provides a summary of the project, communicating the range of
activities undertaken during the project and key results. It
explores the structure and aims of the project, and creates an
insightful overview of the many different people and communities
that participated. Archaeological fieldwork resulted in a number of
new discoveries and insights into Hadrian’s Wall. The
revolutionary new work to explore the stones of Hadrian’s Wall,
its source geology and how stones were reused from the monument is
also discussed. Each chapter is supported by full colour
illustrations, and contributions from project volunteers also bring
the project into a vibrant focus.

New essays on Thomas Traherne challenge traditional critical
readings of the poet. Thomas Traherne has all too often been
defined and studied as a solitary thinker, "out of his time", and
not as a participant in the complex intellectual currents of the
period. The essays collected here take issue with this reading,
placing Traherne firmly in his historical context and situating his
work within broader issues in seventeenth-century studies and the
history of ideas. They draw on recently published textual
discoveries alongside manuscripts which will soon be published for
the first time. They address major themes in Traherne studies,
including Traherne's understanding of matter and spirit, his
attitude towards happiness and holiness, his response to solitude
and society, and his Anglican identity. As a whole, the volume aims
to re-ignite discussion on settled readings of Traherne's work, to
reconsider issues in Traherne scholarship which have long lain
dormant, and to supplement our picture of the man and his writings
through new discoveries and insights. Elizabeth S. Dodd is
programme leader for the MA in theology, ministry and mission and
lecturer in theology, imagination and culture at Sarum College,
Salisbury; Cassandra Gorman is lecturer in English at Trinity
College, Cambridge. Contributors: Jacob Blevins, Warren Chernaik,

Montaigne called it a ramble; Chesterton the joke of literature;
and Hume an ambassador between the worlds of learning and of
conversation. But what is an essay, and how did it emerge as a
literary form? What are the continuities and contradictions across
its history, from Montaigne's 1580 Essais through the familiar
intimacies of the Romantic essay, and up to more recent essayists
such as Virginia Woolf, James Baldwin, and Claudia Rankine?
Sometimes called the fourth genre, the essay has been over-shadowed
in literary history by fiction, poetry, and drama, and has proved
notoriously resistant to definition. On Essays reveals in the essay
a pattern of paradox: at once a pedagogical tool and a refusal of
the methodical languages of universities and professions;
politically engaged but retired and independent; erudite and
anti-pedantic; occasional and enduring; intimate and oratorical;
allusive and idiosyncratic. Perhaps because it is a form of writing
against which literary scholarship has defined itself, there has
been surprisingly little work on the tradition of the essay.
Neither a comprehensive history nor a student companion, On Essays
is a series of seventeen elegantly written essays on authors and
aspects in the history of the genre - essays which, taken together,
form the most substantial book yet published on the essay in
Britain and America.
