Victorians in the Mountains

Victorians in the Mountains

Ann C. Colley

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2010
sidottu
In her compelling book, Ann C. Colley examines the shift away from the cult of the sublime that characterized the early part of the nineteenth century to the less reverential perspective from which the Victorians regarded mountain landscapes. And what a multifaceted perspective it was, as unprecedented numbers of the Victorian middle and professional classes took themselves off on mountaineering holidays so commonplace that the editors of Punch sarcastically reported that the route to the summit of Mont Blanc was to be carpeted. In Part One, Colley mines diaries and letters to interrogate how everyday tourists and climbers both responded to and undercut ideas about the sublime, showing how technological advances like the telescope transformed mountains into theatrical spaces where tourists thrilled to the sight of struggling climbers; almost inevitably, these distant performances were eventually reenacted at exhibitions and on the London stage. Colley's examination of the Alpine Club archives, periodicals, and other primary resources offers a more complicated and inclusive picture of female mountaineering as she documents the strong presence of women on successful expeditions in the latter half of the century. In Part Two, Colley turns to John Ruskin, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Robert Louis Stevenson, whose writings about the Alps reflect their feelings about their Romantic heritage and shed light on their ideas about perception, metaphor, and literary style. Colley concludes by offering insights into the ways in which expeditions to the Himalayas affected people's sense of the sublime, arguing that these individuals were motivated as much by the glory of Empire as by aesthetic sensibility. Her ambitious book is an astute exploration of nationalism, as well as theories of gender, spectacle, and the technicalities of glacial movement that were intruding on what before had seemed inviolable.

Wild Animal Skins in Victorian Britain
What did the 13th Earl of Derby, his twenty-two-year-old niece, Manchester’s Belle Vue Zoo, and even some ordinary laborers all have in common? All were avid collectors and exhibitors of exotic, and frequently unruly, specimens. In her study of Britain’s craze for natural history collecting, Ann C. Colley makes extensive use of archival materials to examine the challenges, preoccupations, and disordered circumstances that attended the amassing of specimens from faraway places only vaguely known to the British public. As scientific institutions sent collectors to bring back exotic animals and birds for study and classification by anatomists and zoologist, it soon became apparent that collecting skins rather than live animals or birds was a relatively more manageable endeavor. Colley looks at the collecting, exhibiting, and portraying of animal skins to show their importance as trophies of empire and representations of identity. While a zoo might display skins to promote and glorify Britain’s colonial achievements, Colley suggests that the reality of collecting was characterized more by chaos than imperial order. For example, Edward Lear’s commissioned illustrations of the Earl of Derby’s extensive collection challenge the colonial’s or collector’s commanding gaze, while the Victorian public demonstrated a yearning to connect with their own wildness by touching the skins of animals. Colley concludes with a discussion of the metaphorical uses of wild skins by Gerard Manley Hopkins and other writers, exploring the idea of skin as a locus of memory and touch where one’s past can be traced in the same way that nineteenth-century mapmakers charted a landscape. Throughout the book Colley calls upon recent theories about the nature and function of skin and touch to structure her discussion of the Victorian fascination with wild animal skins.

During the First World War, President Woodrow Wilson bought a flock of sheep to trim the White House grounds to save money on groundskeeping. One of the sheep, called Old Ike, even became a public phenomenon for his ornery disposition and his penchant for chewing tobacco. Included here are hundreds of well-researched accounts of the fascinating animals that have played vital roles throughout history. Featured animals include Able, who flew on a space mission; Bayou, Salvador Dali's ocelot companion; and G.I. Joe, a pigeon who saved more than 100 people during World War II. These and many other stories detail the unexpected contributions of our animal companions in settings of war, space travel, stage and screen. The book is organized alphabetically by the given name of each animal, and entries feature compelling factual descriptions in a storytelling format.

BODY IN THE BIN As the garbage dumpster is lifted into the air on the forklift, a body slams forward, purged from beneath the dirty depths of nightclub garbage like a phantom. Joe the Sanitation Engineer gawked in horror as the lifeless pasty face with spherical eyes, stared blankly back at him through the windshield of the garbage truck. He returned the bin to the ground with a loud clatter leaving a lifeless hand and shoeless foot piercing the air. He had worked this route for twenty years and had never seen the likes of this.Cold, hauntingly abysmal eyes would become the source of his nightmares. The blank uninhabited face branded into his mind. The dirty-gloved hand he slammed to his mouth successfully arrested the nausea that pushed upward, causing a sensational burning in his throat. Seconds later, he swept the same-gloved hand across his forehead leaving a dirty sweaty trail. Panic set in and he shivered. It was dark, and to make matters worse it was drizzling rain. When the newly elected Sheriff Jordan Hinkley is confronted with murder and the body is discovered in the garbage bin of the local nightclub, corruption in his usually quiet village develops into something much more sinister. He enrols the help of the old retired Sherriff Bulldog Dobson. Then PI Mac Jonson, ex-cop, rolls into town looking for a major embezzler and he is shocked to discover it is his quarry that was murdered. The conspiracy develops; blackmail is unravelled when undesirable photographs are discovered. The three unite to solve the murder and mayhem that erupts into prospects that are more dangerous when Katy Beal, the daughter of the local B&B where Mac is staying is kidnapped, and then the wife of the dead victim is murdered in her hospital bed.

She pulled the old moth-eaten rug over the plastic covered body then tucked it around but not without giving it the appearance of having been there for a decade, as the derelict cabin had been. Kicking enough dirt and leaves over the corpse to cover it she then piled the broken wooden boards that she previously removed to make room for the body on top, with a little imagination the scene looked a hundred years old again. The cobwebs, dust and undergrowth concealed the evidence. Not a soul had been in this old run down cabin since time began and lay abandoned, at the edge of the huge estate.No one ever came here. The house also stood abandoned on the Garrett Estate now owned by the local bank. Not even the Garrett's themselves came here, the once influential owners, she was dead and he had been murdered. The local bank had been in Peters' family for three generations and now Gerald Peters and his mother were the remaining owners of the bank and this Estate, he was in charge and so there was no need for anyone to come here and been abandoned on the spot. Such a disgusting place, who would want to come here, a perfect place to hide however, and a perfect place to hide a body, the only thing now was to cover the trail from the house to the shed. Pulling the old ivy and branches back in place where they had been growing for half a century, she covered the shed door then went back the way she came through the woods, with a forked branch she covered her tracks and the trail of the body she had dragged along there.More and more leaves would fall covering the trail already carpeting the floor of the forest. Then within a couple of days, they would start to become mush.However, it didn't really matter because no one ever came here.Getting close to the main trail, she looked back shining the flashlight on the trail behind her, not a sign. In fact, more leaves had already fallen. Perfect.

THE time had come for them to investigate further the boxes at Sarah's old house. There was nothing she could do about Lilly, sitting around moping only seemed to make the time go slower, and so decided life had to go on as normal as possible. Buxton's enquiries were pending and they were here to see about the smuggling.Having taken possession of the marital home after a sticky separation, she was a little shocked to say the least to discover that smuggling was actually taking place in the cellar of her house, and she felt exploited. Besides the fact, she was still trying to get over the body by the back door of her shop.Moving out of the cave and back to the tunnel, she left Mr. Buxton investigating the contraband further and wandered along the narrow passage. She could hear the ocean at the end. The tide was ebbing and the light of day shone up the cavity from the shoreline entrance at the bottom of the steep concrete cylinder that dropped off at the end of the tunnel. Peeking cautiously down the twenty-foot drop, a loud intake of breath and a gut wrenching scream emanated from somewhere deep inside her. Buxton arrived in seconds to where Sarah stood glaring down in horror at the body hanging inverted. Feet taped to the rungs of an embedded steel ladder, hands taped behind, head twisted in an anomalous position with the face buried in the sand, and the light ebbing waves sloshing about the head.
Conversational Learning

Conversational Learning

Despite conflicting belief systems and other divisive problems, people can still learn from each other to create new knowledge. The medium is conversation. This challenging new book asserts that business conversations can be seen as social experiences through which we discover new ways of seeing the world, destroying the barriers between us. When this occurs, new knowledge can emerge or be developed. How can people learn from their differences, rather than be divided by them? One way is by creating conversational spaces—areas where conversation occurs. The authors show how such spaces are created, maintained, and enhanced, and how they are used to transform different interpretations and perspectives into new common understandings. With illustrations and case studies, the authors demonstrate the practical value of conversational learning in diverse organizational settings. Emphasis is shifted from techniques that are essentially insensitive to different contexts, attitudes, and beliefs, focusing instead on a theory of learning that is more social and interactive. This remarkable new source of explanatory theory validates an intensely pragmatic way to help organizations get people talking to one another, thereby advancing the well being of the organizations and those within them.
Ronald Harwood's Tragic Vision

“Art has a lot to answer for.” So says Sarah Bernhardt in Ronald Harwood’s play After the Lions. Harwood’s own career can be summarized by that same quote as well.Ronald Harwood’s Tragic Vision offers the first critical analysis of prolific and award-winning British author Ronald Harwood (1934–2020). Though he received an Oscar for The Pianist, a knighthood, and numerous other awards and nominations, Harwood worked as a ghostwriter, script doctor, and veritable unknown for many years. As he became successful, many critics still misread his works and positioned him as a less-fashionable counterpart to his lifelong friend Harold Pinter. This study proposes a conceptual framework to approach his, and others’, work based on the genre of tragedy, offering a greater appreciation for and understanding of the Harwood canon.

One summer afternoon in northern England in 1946, when Ann Colley was a child, she met a man from Czechoslovakia named Dr. Novak. This encounter launched her lifelong fascination with Central and Eastern Europe, one that resulted in her spending two years, in 1995 and 2000, teaching at universities in Poland and Ukraine. In The Odyssey and Dr. Novak, Colley records personal experiences, interactions with colleagues, and descriptions of the landscape, creating a composite portrait of these countries at a time when each is struggling to chart its course after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. She recalls moments that are disturbing, absurd, discordant, frustrating, humorous, and endearing - a missing parrot flying in through the window; a robber on a train threatening her life; clouds of smoke from Chernobyl hanging over Kiev. Colley's journey ends with her return to the figure of Dr. Novak when she searches in the archives of the Harvard Divinity School Library for letters sent from Prague in 1945 - letters which, just like her memoir, speak of a past that pursues the present.

"My Chocolate Butterfly" was written by the author's husband, Dr. Paul P. Caron, and was the foundation for how they met in 1994. It is a story of community pride and working together towards a common goal. It also steps back to simpler times as her husband as a young boy recounts a special day on a baseball field, an encounter with a very special butterfly, and ultimately the purity and innocence of his Mother's love. Ann thought it only fitting to have her husband's book published and for it to serve alongside her book as she travels her journey through the loss of her husband. Paul would be chuffed to know he became a published book author from Heaven
