Resumen
AbstractAccording to popular belief, Charles II of England (reigned 1660-1685) once heard a prophecy that if ravens left the Tower of London it would "fall," so he ordered that the wings of seven ravens in the Tower be trimmed. Until recently, this claim was not challenged even in scholarly literature. There are, however, no allusions to the Tower Ravens before the end of the nineteenth century. The ravens, today meticulously cared for by Yeoman Warders, are largely an invented tradition, designed to give an impression of continuity with the past. This article examines the few known references, both graphic and textual, to the Tower Ravens through 1906. It concludes that the ravens were originally brought in to dramatize the alleged site of executions at the Tower. Although not accorded great significance at first, legends that would eventually make the ravens mascots of Britain began outside of the Tower.

Resumen
The Royal Menagerie of England was established at the Tower of London in the 13th Century and served as a home of exotic animals until it was closed on behalf of the Duke of Wellington in 1835. Two well-preserved lion skulls recovered from the moat of the Tower of London were recently radiocarbon-dated to AD 1280-1385 and AD 1420-1480, making them the earliest confirmed lion remains in the British Isles since the extinction of the Pleistocene cave lion. Using ancient DNA techniques and cranio-morphometric analysis, we identify the source of these first English lions to lie in North Africa, where no natural lion population remains today.

Resumen
Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, less formally known as the Tower of London or simply ‘the Tower’, was the seat of royal power in England for several centuries following its construction by William the Conqueror in 1078. While now a popular tourist attraction, it remains the home of the Crown Jewels, is a working barracks and maintains many ceremonial traditions of state. Two chapels are located within its walls. Foremost of these is the late eleventh-century chapel of St John the Evangelist (St John's), located within the White Tower, noted as a rare surviving example of early Anglo-Norman ecclesiastic architecture. To the north-west, the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula (St Peter's) has an equally remarkable history and is a building of singular importance even within the Tower complex. Its origins may be traced, like many London parish churches, to a small, private house-church in the ninth century, before being subsumed within the boundaries of the fortress. The chapel, the latest of three documented iterations, was constructed between 1519 and 1520 and is the burial place of many notable figures, including the sixteenth-century queens Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard and Lady Jane Grey, together with Cardinal John Fisher and the former Lord Chancellor Sir Thomas More, both now venerated as martyrs and saints in the Roman Catholic Church.

Resumen
In recent years the valuable but decades old publication Thomas More’s London has been supplemented and updated by two other publications: Thomas More’s England: A Guide Book and A Thomas More Source Book. However, except for a few brief comments, none of these publications takes up sites east of the London Tower. Sites discussed in the present study were either definitely or very likely visited by Thomas More, either for personal and family reasons or because of his service to Henry VIII. The sites are within the five modern boroughs now generally referred to as East London or London’s East Side, but not within London during More’s time. This area is the primary location for the 2012 Summer Olympics, so possibly a fair number of those making the trip to London next summer may wish to walk in Thomas More’s shoes by visiting the sites discussed.

Resumen
This article explores the ethical complexity of Value Engineering: Scenes from the Grenfell Inquiry (which opened in October 2021), a documentary ‘tribunal’ play that presents elements of the inquiry into the Grenfell Tower tragedy-a fire in a social housing block in London, England, in June 2017 in which seventy-two people died. Locating the performance within a cultural and political landscape of deadly class inequity fostered by neo-liberal policies, this article responds to criticism of the play from working-class artists who felt it was made and presented without due consideration for the communities impacted by the tragedy. The article asks what ethical issues were at stake in the representation, and parses some of these to consider how and whether ethically compromised work might nonetheless offer worthwhile interventions into the public conversation surrounding Grenfell, class injustice, and neo-liberal failure.

Resumen
In 1792 the Society published in Archaeologia an engraving of ‘An antient Mortar at Eridge Green’, with the claim that it was the first gun made in England. Subsequent writers on the history of artillery, while noting the gun's importance as one of the first examples of a wrought-iron cannon or bombard (to give it its correct name), believed that it had been destroyed. In fact, by the date of its publication, the bombard had been removed to Boxted Hall, Suffolk, where it remained unrecognized until its transfer to the Royal Armouries, H. M. Tower of London, in 1979. This article traces the history of the bombard, the method of its construction and concludes that it was probably made in England, in the Weald, during the fifteenth century.

Resumen
The strong association between prison writing and writing on walls, whether by graffiti or carving, is as true of Tudor and Stuart England as of other times and places. Yet even if prison-writers associated themselves with the idea of writing on a wall, they need not have done so in reality. This article considers the topos in the writings and afterlife of the Catholic priest, poet and martyr John Ingram, and asks whether it is to be taken at face value.Ingram’s verse, composed in Latin and mostly epigrammatic, survives in two contemporary manuscripts. The notion that the author carved his verses with a blunt knife on the walls of the Tower of London while awaiting death derives from a previous editorial interpretation of a prefatory sentence within the more authoritative manuscript of the two, traditionally held to be autograph. However, though several Tudor and Stuart inscriptions survive to this day on the walls of the Tower of London, no portions of Ingram’s verse are among them, nor any inscriptions of similar length and complexity. Ingram might instead have written his verse down in the usual way, using wall-carving as a metaphor for the difficulty of writing verse when undergoing incarceration and torture.1

[First paragraph]Caribbean Art. VEERLE POUPEYE. London: Thames and Hudson, 1998. 224 pp. (Paper US$ 14.95)Transforming the Crown: African, Asian and Caribbean Artists in Britain, 1966-1996. MORA J. BEAUCHAMP-BYRD & M. FRANKLIN SIRMANS (eds.). New York: Caribbean Cultural Center, 1998. 177 pp. (Paper US$ 39.95,£31.95)"Caribbean" (like "Black British") culture is (as a Dutch colleague once said of postmodernism) a bit of a slippery fish. One of the books under review here presents the eclectic artistic productions of professional artists with Caribbean identities of varying sorts - some of them lifelong residents of the region (defined broadly to stretch from Belize and the Bahamas to Curacao and Cayenne), some born in the Caribbean but living elsewhere, and others from far-away parts of the world who have lingered or settled in the Caribbean. The other focuses on artists who trace their cultural heritage variously to Lebanon, France, Malaysia, Spain, China, England, Guyana, India, the Caribbean, the Netherlands, the Philippines, and the whole range of societies in West, East, and Central Africa, all of whom meet under a single ethnic label in galleries in New York and London. Clearly, the principles that vertebrate Caribbean Art and Transforming the Crown are built on the backs of ambiguities, misperceptions, ironies, and ethnocentric logics (not to mention their stronger variants, such as racism). Yet far from invalidating the enterprise, they offer an enlightening inroad to the social, cultural, economic, and political workings of artworlds that reflect globally orchestrated pasts of enormous complexity.

Resumen
As Roland Barthes's epoch-making essay Empire of Signs suggests, in a slightly orientalist tone itself, modern japanese culture is a fascinating kaleidoscope of Eastern and Western cultures, but at the same time a strong purism is inherent in its aestheticized nationalism. In this essay, I offer a comparative literary analysis of select travel writings that emerge out of Japanese-European encounters in the Meiji era (1868–1912) to show the cultural dynamism of the time, after the Edo period (1603–1852), when Japan first opened its borders to the West. My analysis of Japan of that time as an Eastern-Western contact zone is based on Homi Bhabha's notion of cultural hybridity and Mary Louise Pratt's understanding of a cultural encounter in an asymmetrical power constellation. Japan has never been a colony, escaping Western imperialism through the (sakoku; “closed country”) policy of the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, who banned all Christian missionaries and Western foreigners from the insular empire. In the Meiji modernization in 1868, the old samurai elites imported select reforms from Western Europe, notably from England, France, and Germany, to Japan. This is why Yōichi Komori claimed that Japan is a “self-colonized” () culture (Posutokoroniaru 8). Through the Meiji elite's adoption of certain modern ways from Germany, France, England, and the United States, an “imitative modernity” came into being.

In the era when there are limited land resources and population explosion, high-rise building becomes one of the representative infrastructure in every city around the world. Due to the complex characteristics that high-rise buildings carried, such as high population density, complicated structure and multipurpose usage, the fire protection standard for high-rise buildings tends to be stricter than average low-rise buildings, in which there is a lower probability for high-rise buildings to be caught on fire. However both domestically and internationally, fire still happened in high-rise buildings, especially for older buildings which were built during the time when the fire protection and structural regulations were not as established as now, which then caused severe damages to the citizen’s lives and properties. This research contains data collected from both domestic and international high-rise building fire incidents, and discussions about the risk characteristics that are associated with high-rise building fire. Moreover, using the tragic England London Grenfell Tower Fire as our case study, we will reference to different reports, and reconstruct the fire scene using the Fire Dynamic Stimulator (FDS) Pyrosim, developed by the United State. Through the FDS, we will be able to collect data on the temperature and the changes in the hazardous sources, and analyze the potential improvement on fire protection equipment to prevent similar fire incident in the future.

Resumen
Abstract Grevel Lindop has written about the nourishment which journalism can get from contact with universities and university people (specifically in the literary world around the great Scottish universities in the early nineteenth century).1 I shall approach the same topic from the other side: the stimulus which universities—specifically their English departments—can derive from contact with the world of journalism. I shall do this by sketching the life history of a single English department, that of University College London. As it happens, it is, at 167 years, the oldest such department in England (some would say the world). My chair at UCL was endowed by a newspaper magnate, Lord Northcliffe, whose name is synonymous with twentieth century lower journalism.

Resumen
Abstract In 1284 a group of Welshmen came to Edward I at Conwy and presented him with a reliquary cross, the Croes Naid, containing some of the wood of the Cross itself. The surrender of this to the English king was a symbolic, moving acknowledgement of conquest, for the cross had been the prized possession of Llywelyn ap GruVudd, prince of Wales.1 Edward spent most of 1284 on a tour of Wales, no doubt content in the knowledge that Llywelyn’s head adorned a pike mounted on the Tower of London. Conquest may appear, with the beneWt of hindsight, to be the logical end of a process that began in the eleventh century, if not earlier, but to men in the early thirteenth century it would not have seemed an obvious outcome.

Abstract IN 1887 Charles Booth addressed the Royal Statistical Society on the condition and occupations of the inhabitants of the Tower Hamlets, and this was to be the pilot study for the great Life and Labour. After he had spoken the statistician Leone Levi asked the question: Who was a poor man? … The author [Andrew Mearns, writer of The Bitter Cry of Outcast London] had not mentioned the causes of poverty … His own impression was that poverty proper in the district which had been described was mon frequently produced by vice, extravagance and waste, or by unfitness for work, the result in many cases of immoral habits, than by real want of employment or low wages.

Resumen
This chapter discusses Tudorism in popular historical culture during the nineteenth century. First, it briefly delineates the apparent streamlining of the Tudor era into a broadly Whig and liberal-radical culture of progress and improvement and the confident interpretation of history. It then focuses on the evolution of popular Tudorism with its emphasis upon, and uses of, horror and its relations to modernity and urbanisation: what Dickens described as the ‘attraction of repulsion’ in horror. It traces developments in representations, meanings, and uses of Tudor horror, mainly by concentrating on the Tower of London, which during the nineteenth century evolved into an embodiment of the history of England, and the site of continuous debate and contest over access to, and ownership of, the Tudors.

Resumen
This chapter summarises the London research boroughs and estates. The research focusses on fourteen council-built housing estates in seven boroughs: Barnet, Hackney, Haringey, Lambeth, Newham, Southwark and Tower Hamlets. Six of these boroughs (except suburban Barnet) have been among the most deprived local authority areas in England for decades, and include high levels of poverty and large Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic populations, although they have also gentrified since the 1980s. The fourteen estates are analysed in terms of their local authority origins, landlords and housing tenure, and also the rationale, progress and effects of their respective regeneration schemes. Reference is made to entrepreneurial borough strategies where relevant. In addition to the seven main boroughs, less extensive research was undertaken at five council estates in four supplementary boroughs: Brent, Camden, Waltham Forest and Westminster. The chapter provides a socio-demographic summary of the estate resident interviewees divided into four housing tenures: social tenants, Right-to-Buy owner-occupiers, temporary non-secure tenants, and owner-occupiers who bought their homes on the open market. The interviewees broadly reflect the dominant multi-ethnic working-class population of London’s social housing estates, albeit weighted towards elderly and long-term residents.

Resumen
Abstract Were it not for a hurricane, France, rather than Spain, might have successfully claimed Florida in the middle of the sixteenth century. The 1500s were a time of great religious turmoil in France, with increasing persecution of French Protestants, known as Huguenots. One of the leaders of the Huguenots was Gaspard de Coligny, a French admiral. At the height of the turmoil, Coligny appointed the mariner Jean Ribaut to establish a New World asylum for Huguenots. Ribaut set sail in 1562, arriving on May 1 at the mouth of what is today known as the St. Johns River. Forty-nine years after Ponce de Leon had claimed “Pascua Florida” for Spain, Ribaut erected a stone monument emblazoned with the French coat of arms, declaring the territory the possession of the king of France. He then sailed north, establishing a colony he called Charlesfort (Parris Island), South Carolina, returning to Dieppe in July with the intention of sending settlers and aid back to Charlesfort. Finding the Huguenots and Catholics at war, Ribaut fled to England to seek ships and supplies for his New World colony, only to be imprisoned in the Tower of London, suspected of planning to steal English ships. When aid was not forthcoming, the 28 Charlesfort colonists mutinied against and killed their commander and, abandoning the settlement, returned to France in a ship of their own construction.
