Full textAbstract:
This is a personal and fascinating chapter, which serves as a perfect conclusion to a multifaceted and complicated volume. While this volume is the first one to offer a detailed look at translations of Virgil’s poems across world cultures, the attempt is far from exhaustive and hopes to open the floodgates for further discussions along the lines presented here. Balmer’s essay looks precisely towards ‘future Virgils’ of this kind, reimagined and adapted to contemporary contexts where women translators will not be an oddity and where Virgil’s stories of victory and defeat will inspire a creativity readily understood by contemporary audiences.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores how victims sought to resolve criminal encounters in the Victorian city, and how these practices of resolution related to official strategies of criminal justice. It analyses reforms to prosecution in the early nineteenth century, which were designed to secure victims’ participation in the criminal justice process. However, the chapter reveals that victims continued to face major barriers to involvement in prosecution, whether through expense, fear, embarrassment, or personal loyalties. Thereafter, it outlines various forms of out-of-court dispute resolution available in the Victorian city, including popular justice, private settlement, and summary violence; while historians have carefully reconstructed shaming rituals and community self-policing, it seems that private settlements to criminal wrongs were more common in an urban context. Finally, the chapter exposes the tension between discretionary procedures of private justice and state strategies of criminal justice, and details how the police sought to regulate out-of-court settlement.

I am María Victoria, a young woman at the age of 31, and I am writing about my twenties living in Paraná, the place where I was born and brought up.In order to understand properly my narration, there are some historical features that would be important to underline about my country pursuant to my experience. Since my childhood I have usually heard from my aunts, parents, and grandparents an open distrust of politicians and memories of a period of instability, censorship, and state terrorism where many civilians “disappeared” and people in general were being observed everywhere. Everyone could be seen as a spy, and varied and countless violations of human rights happened. In the return of democracy, there was a visible refreshment of social well-being, but it was difficult to leave a culture of fear and adopt self-expression freely as a way of living or to participate in politics. Self-expression was related to “show” instead of freedom or critical thinking. That is the context I grew up in. Devaluation, public sector corruption, unemployment or low-paying jobs, and working in the black economy are frequently heard concepts in this society. In each of the subsequent governments, many cases of corruption in the public sector were demonstrated. So I understand it is very difficult here to keep values such as honesty, equity, fraternity, and liberty and succeed in politics. And I have found a better place to do my best in my work, personal relationships, educational instances, and social or communitarian projects....

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the role of the garrison in the British Empire's establishment of a colonial state in Natal during the period 1840s–1860s. It first explains how the garrison transformed Pietermaritzburg from a Trekker settlement to a Victorian colonial capital before considering the ways in which the British Crown used pageantry and propaganda to reinforce the prestige of the colonial state while masking the military weakness of the garrison in relation to the colony's potential enemies. It then discusses the garrison's “punitive expeditions”—almost as an extension of the parading on the barrack square of Fort Napier—in response to panic and rumors of invasions. Ironically, those raids provoked “panics” among the African population; such panics fed the almost pathological fear that the settlers had of a “native” rising or “combination.” The chapter also looks at the appointment of British military officers in various civil posts in the colony and concludes with an assessment of the Zulu invasion scare of 1861 and the question that it raised regarding payment for the garrison.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on the years 1321–1324, a period that forms merely an epilogue to Aymer de Valence's life. In August 1321, when the full force of the Marchers was at his back, the Earl of Pembroke was no longer in a position to persuade or cajole Edward II. Once the Despensers were in exile, it would take more ability and force than Pembroke could command to stop the King from recalling them. The chapter examines Pembroke's role in the campaign that finally destroyed the Marchers and Thomas, Earl of Lancaster in 1321 and 1322 and that resulted in total victory for the King, the rise of the Despensers, a massacre of the magnates, and the creation in England of a regime supported only on fear and military force. It also considers Pembroke's activities in the area of royal diplomacy and concludes with a reflection on his death.

Schreiner, Olive. The Story of an African Farm. Edited by Joseph Bristow. Oxford University Press, 2008. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/owc/9780199538010.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Lyndall, Schreiner's articulate young feminist, marks the entry of the controversial New Woman into nineteenth-century fiction. Raised as an orphan amid a makeshift family, she witnesses an intolerable world of colonial exploitation. Desiring a formal education, she leaves the isolated farm for boarding school in her early teens, only to return four years later from an unhappy relationship. Unable to meet the demands of her mysterious lover, Lyndall retires to a house in Bloemfontein, where, delirious with exhaustion, she is unknowingly tended by an English farmer disguised as her female nurse. This is the devoted Gregory Rose, Schreiner's daring embodiment of the sensitive New Man. A cause célèbre when it appeared in London, The Story of an African Farm transformed the shape and course of the late-Victorian novel. From the haunting plains of South Africa's high Karoo, Schreiner boldly addresses her society's greatest fears - the loss of faith, the dissolution of marriage, and women's social and political independence.

Full textAbstract:
This book describes the rise of the modern global white power movement, tracing its evolution from various Ku Klux Klan organizations in the pre–civil rights era in the United States, skinheads in Europe, and similar groups around the world. Drawing on attacks from New Zealand to Norway to South Carolina, the author details how the movement changed, often becoming more violent in the process. The book examines the movement’s ideas, strategies for victory, impact on politics, and use of social media. The book assesses the political influence of white supremacists: in much of the world, they are roundly rejected, but parts of their message of fear and hatred have crept into broader political discourse. The author also assesses the movement’s many vulnerabilities and how counterterrorism can exploit these through more effective law enforcement and intelligence gathering, international cooperation, and community programs. Successful counterterrorism, however, depends heavily on the right political climate for fighting hate, and white supremacists can expand their influence and conduct more deadly attacks when leaders ignore the threat but suffer huge blows when confronted.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter details Edna Phillips' appointment as a member of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Phillips entered the Philadelphia Orchestra as its only woman in 1930. Having chosen the harp, an instrument that women played in drawing rooms in the Victorian era and one that was associated with ethereal, feminine attributes, she was more easily accepted into an orchestra than a player of another instrument might have been, but that did not mean her colleagues or the orchestra's audiences accepted and welcomed her arrival. As a woman invading a male bastion, she was just that, an invader, a pioneer in uncharted territory, and her arrival was met with curiosity at best and hostility at worst. Phillips understood that her life in an all-male orchestra would be full of challenges, but that was not her primary concern when she entered the Philadelphia Orchestra. Her biggest fear was that she wouldn't be able to hold her own as a musician among the orchestra's superb players, not because she was a woman, but because her training had been cut short. In a move that shocked and surprised both Phillips and her teacher, conductor Leopold Stokowski had appointed her to the first-chair position in his orchestra rather than choosing her for the second harp position she thought she was auditioning for.

Hawkins, J. Russell. The Bible Told Them So. Oxford University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780197571064.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
The Bible Told Them So explains why southern white evangelical Christians in South Carolina resisted the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. Simply put, they believed the Bible told them so. Interpreting the Bible in such a way, these white Christians entered the battle against the civil rights movement certain that God was on their side. Ultimately, the civil rights movement triumphed in the 1960s and, with its success, fundamentally transformed American society. But such a victory did little to change southern white evangelicals’ theological commitment to segregation and white supremacy. Rather than abandoning their segregationist theology in the second half of the 1960s, white evangelicals turned their focus on institutions they still controlled—churches, homes, denominations, and private colleges and secondary schools—and fought on. Despite suffering defeat in the public sphere, white evangelicals continued to battle for their own institutions, preaching and practicing a segregationist Christianity they continued to believe reflected God’s will. Increasingly caught in the tension between their sincere beliefs that God desired segregation and their reticence to vocalize such ideas for fear of seeming bigoted or intolerant by the late 1960s, southern white evangelicals eventually embraced rhetoric of colorblindness and protection of the family as measures to maintain both segregation and respectable social standing. Such a strategy spread throughout the evangelical subculture and set southern white evangelicals on a detrimental path for race relations in the decades ahead.

Perry, Samuel L. Addicted to Lust. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190844219.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Few other cultural issues alarm conservative Protestant families and communities more than the seemingly ubiquitous threat of pornography. Thanks to widespread access to the internet, conservative Protestants now face a reality in which every Christian man, woman, and child with a smartphone can access limitless pornography in his or her bathroom, at work, or at a friend’s sleepover. Once confident of their victory over pornography in society at large, conservative Protestants now fear that “porn addiction” is consuming even the most faithful. How are conservative Protestants adjusting to this new reality? And what are its consequences in their lives? Drawing on over 130 interviews, as well as numerous national surveys, Addicted to Lust shows that, compared to other Americans, pornography shapes the lives of conservative Protestants in ways that are uniquely damaging to their mental health, spiritual lives, and intimate relationships. Samuel Perry demonstrates how certain pervasive beliefs within the conservative Protestant subculture unwittingly create a context in which those who use pornography are often overwhelmed with shame and discouragement, sometimes to the point of depression or withdrawal from faith altogether. Conservative Protestant women who use pornography feel a “double shame,” both for sinning sexually and for sinning “like a man,” while conflicts over pornography in marriages are escalated with patterns of lying, hiding, blowing up, or threats of divorce. Addicted to Lust shines new light on one of the most talked-about problems facing conservative Christians.

Wiseman, Sam. Locating the Gothic in British Modernity. Liverpool University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.3828/liverpool/9781942954897.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
The late-Victorian era has been extensively researched as a period of Gothic literature, and this study seeks to build upon this body of work by connecting the content of such studies to the early decades of the twentieth century. Beginning with the quintessentially urban Gothic space of fin de siècle London, as represented in classic texts such as Dracula and Arthur Machen’s The Great God Pan, the study proceeds to ask how the themes and energies which emerge in this moment evolve throughout the early twentieth century. In the ghost stories of authors like M.R. James, the Edwardian era witnesses an uncanny return to the rural English landscape, in which modernity encounters the re-emergence of suppressed fears and forces. After World War One, London again experiences a renewal of Gothic themes, with figures such as D.H. Lawrence and T.S. Eliot representing the city as a stricken and desolate space, haunted by the trauma and ghosts of the recent conflict. That legacy of violence and loss is also evident in rural representations of place in the 1920s and 1930s, along with a renewed interest in supernaturalism and paganism found in authors like Sylvia Townsend Warner and Mary Butts. Ultimately, this study argues, this period of dramatic social and cultural change is shadowed by a corresponding evolution in Gothic literary representation, whether that is expressed through modernist experimentation or more conventional narrative forms.

Webster OAM, Joan. Essential Bushfire Safety Tips. CSIRO Publishing, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/9780643107816.
Full textAbstract:
By the author of the acclaimed The Complete Bushfire Safety Book, the latest edition of Joan Webster OAM’s Essential Bushfire Safety Tips has been revised and updated. The book deals with people's fears and concerns about bushfires in general, and the maze of official safety policies in the wake of Victoria's 2009 Black Saturday bushfires. Its concise and straightforward style clears a path of understanding through the tangle of conflicting opinions and misconceptions.
It identifies the shortcomings and likely adverse repercussions of some of these policies, defines the actions necessary for people to stay safe during a bushfire – and their homes to remain intact – and sets out safe procedures.
Essential Bushfire Safety Tips reveals the scientific post-bushfire research into why people who stayed with their homes died during the Black Saturday fires, and shows that, despite the almost universal media reports that 'nothing could be done to save homes on such a day', many householders did, in fact, save their homes.
Included are new chapters on township protection; shelters, refuges and bunkers; as well as new information on choices of home bushfire safety strategies; protective house design, furnishings and gardens; protection of animals; and first aid.
This book fills the gap between bushfire authority brochures and long, in-depth books. Backed by scientific facts, it brings a message of hope and empowerment: that with appropriate knowledge, preparation and awareness, towns, homes and people can survive bushfires.
Set out in easy-to-access dot-point one-liners, it demystifies bushfire behaviour, explains how to prevent a bushfire from destroying houses, details the safe way to act at each stage of threat, describes weather factors and safe burning-off, details the benefits and hazards of staying, non-defensive sheltering, and evacuating, and how to make the decision on which course is best for you.
