Blood and Home in Early Modern Drama Domestic Identity on the Renaissance Stage

Blood and Home in Early Modern Drama Domestic Identity on the Renaissance Stage

In this volume the author argues that blood was crucially a means by which dramatists negotiated shifting contours of domesticity in 16th and 17th century England. Early modern English drama vividly addressed contemporary debates over an expanding idea of the domestic which encompassed the domus as well as sex parenthood household order the relationship between home and state and the connections between family honor and national identity. The author contends that the domestic ideology expressed by theatrical depictions of marriage and household order is one built on the simultaneous familiarity and violence inherent to blood. The theatrical relation between blood and home is far more intricate than the idealized language of the familial bloodline; the home was itself a bloody place with domestic bloodstains signifying a range of experiences including religious worship sex murder birth healing and holy justice. Focusing on four bleeding figures—the Bleeding Bride Bleeding Husband Bleeding Child and Bleeding Patient—the author argues that the household blood of the early modern stage not only expressed the violence and conflict occasioned by domestic ideology but also established the home as a site that alternately reified and challenged patriarchal authority. | Blood and Home in Early Modern Drama Domestic Identity on the Renaissance Stage

British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

In 1962 Dean Acheson famously described Britain as having lost an Empire but not yet found a role. Perhaps nowhere is this more apparent than in the realms of nuclear weapons. An increasingly marginal world power successive post-war British governments felt that an independent nuclear deterrent was essential if the country was to remain at the top table of world diplomacy. Focusing on a key twenty-year period this study explores Britain's role in efforts to bring about a nuclear test ban treaty between 1954 and 1973. Taking a broadly chronological approach it examines the nature of defence planning the scientific goals that nuclear tests were designed to secure Anglo-American relationships the efficacy of British diplomacy and its contribution to arms control and disarmament. A key theme of the study is to show how the UK managed to balance the conflicting pressures created by its determination to remain a credible nuclear power whilst wanting to pursue disarmament objectives and how these pressures shifted over the period in question. Based on a wealth of primary sources this book opens up the largely ignored subject of the impact of arms control on the UK nuclear weapons programme. Its appraisal of the relationship between the requirements and developments of the UK nuclear weapons programme against international and domestic pressures for a test ban treaty will be of interest to anyone studying post-war British defence and foreign policy history of science arms control disarmament and non-proliferation and international relations. It also provides important background information on current events involving nuclear proliferation and disarmament. | British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

Estates Enterprise and Investment at the Dawn of the Industrial Revolution Estate Management and Accounting in the North-East of England

Estates Enterprise and Investment at the Dawn of the Industrial Revolution Estate Management and Accounting in the North-East of England

At the beginning of the eighteenth century the landed estate represented the largest and most clearly defined type of business organisation in existence in pre-industrial England. Given the need for capital wayleave rights and a ready supply of coal iron and other raw materials it is unsurprising that most historians tend to place Britain's formative industrial development on such estates where all these elements were available. Yet despite this consensus relatively little attention has been paid to the management and accountancy practices of these estates which have the potential to reveal much about the development of the industrial revolution. In this study the management practice on estates in the north-east of England (c. 1700-1780) is examined through the lens of the accounts and supporting documentation. Accounts encompassed every aspect of estate operations from the housekeeper's groceries to the lead and coal mines and thus provide direct evidence of the underlying management systems over a diverse range of activities. The information flows on estates serve as an excellent medium for testing hypotheses concerning the management of estates and the attitudes of their owners and stewards. Focusing on the surviving accounts of three leading gentry families Bowes Ridley and Cotesworth who came from contrasting social backgrounds two main issues are addressed. The first concerns the productivity of estates. Were estates managed efficiently as productive investments and more specifically to what extent can the landowners and their stewards legitimately be described as capitalists? The second related question asks in what ways did accounting aid managerial activity at this early stage of industrial development? These are the central questions this book addresses through examination of the nature and function of accounts within the organisation. By looking in detail at records from this crucial region during the period of transition to an industrial | Estates Enterprise and Investment at the Dawn of the Industrial Revolution Estate Management and Accounting in the North-East of England

Advancing Sustainability at the Sub-National Level The Potential and Limitations of Planning

Advancing Sustainability at the Sub-National Level The Potential and Limitations of Planning

Sustainability notions have been widely embraced by planners. However the question of what can planners contribute to the advancement of such notions has not received much attention until now. This volume examines the potential contribution of planning to the advancement of sustainability at sub-national level and the limitations it faces in doing so. Bringing together case studies from the US UK Poland Israel South Africa The Netherlands and Italy it covers a wide range of issues and contexts ranging from the metropolitan to the community level. On the basis of these case studies the book shows that planners do indeed have a variety of options to advance sustainability notions at these levels and appear to be doing so. The book proposes that planners should operate at two levels: firstly to change institutional structures and secondly to advance sustainability notions incrementally in the meantime within the existing institutional constraints. | Advancing Sustainability at the Sub-National Level The Potential and Limitations of Planning

Documenting Maritime Heritage at Risk Digital Tools Communities and Institutions

Documenting Maritime Heritage at Risk Digital Tools Communities and Institutions

Documenting Maritime Heritage at Risk addresses the risks posed to coastal piers and quays due to climate change the urgent need for documentation and attendant questions regarding long-term conservation and the role communities could have in this endeavour. Case studies from communities researchers and national agencies offer insights into the documentation and analysis of coastal heritage guidance on survey methodologies and the potential of digital tools. Communities living along the coast who are deeply attached to their heritage are facing these threats very directly – and often with a sense of having little agency in the discussions or decisions being taken.

Family and School

Originally published in 1983 this book offers a perspective on the secondary school years from the standpoint at home. In the early 1980s as now there was no shortage of advice to parents on how they should bring up their children and what their relationship should be with the schools their children attended. More rarely heard was the parent’s voice of experience on the stages of family life and how the children’s school life is seen from the family point of view. The purpose of this book was to urge reconsideration of taken-for-granted assumptions about the appropriate relationship between home and secondary school. It can be read today in its historical context. | Family and School
