This innovative study of poverty in Independent Ireland between 1920 and 1940 is the first to place the poor at its core by exploring their own words and letters. Written to the Catholic Archbishop ...of Dublin, their correspondence represents one of the few traces in history of Irish experiences of poverty, and collectively they illuminate the lives of so many during the foundation decades of the Irish state. This book keeps the human element central, so often lost when the framework of history is policy, institutions and legislation. It explores how ideas of charity, faith, gender, character and social status were deployed in these poverty narratives and examines the impact of poverty on the lives of these writers and the survival strategies they employed. Finally, it considers the role of priests in vetting and vouching for the poor and, in so doing, perpetuating the discriminating culture of charity.
Eugenie Schwarzwald a vécu a Vienne au début du XXe siecle. Elle était une pionniere dans l'éducation des filies. Elle a favorisé la formation et a conféré une approche joyeuse de l'enseignement. Son ...action pédagogique a laissé des traces. Le réformateur socialiste Otto Glöckel s'est inspiré des écoles de Schwarzwald pour sa réforme scolaire autrichienne. Depuis la Premiere Guerre mondiale, Eugenie Schwarzwald s'est davantage consacrée au travail social. Son salon littéraire a attiré les artistes de son temps et sa personnalité a laissé des traces meme dans les œuvres de Robert Musil et Karl Kraus.
A century ago, Ronald B McKerrow argued that in order to understand books from the early modern period, a student or scholar should experience "all the processes through which the matter of the work ...before them has passed, from its first being written down by the pen of its author to its appearance in the finished volume."1 Seeing the work "from the point of view of those who composed, corrected, printed, folded, and bound it" could yield invaluable perspectives about a book's authorship and the forces that continued to shape it through its material production-even more, perhaps, than other modes of academic inquiry. Though McKerrow's suggestion appears eminently practical, even readily achievable, scrutinizing the implications of his proposition presents both logistical and conceptual problems. Here, Samuelson and Morrow examine the formation and first decade of the Book History Workshop at Texas A&M University in the context of McKerrow's initial prompt and early attempts to fulfill it.
Hanabusa identifies the unknown sharing partner by fresh re-examination of the text in order to reinforce McKerrow's discussions with supporting evidence and to supplement the STC entries of Q1 and ...Q2. It also provides further bibliographical details unnoticed so far, such as division of the copy-text between the two printers, the use of a step-by-step casting-off, and differences of the workmanship observed in the processes of the composition of Q2.
