"what should i tell you? that feral will not enrich you. that feral will not be mastered. feral is ‘wild’ without utility. it offers nothing, and it asks for nothing in return."In this uncompromising collection of lyric essays, T.S. Eliot Prize-shortlisted poet Fran Lock pulls us with her into the vortex of the ‘feral’. From medieval bestiaries to Poundland, Edmund Spenser to X-Ray Spex, in Vulgar Errors / Feral Subjects Lock explores and eviscerates historical and cultural links between animality and otherness in contexts ranging across class, gender, queerness and Irishness. Overflowing with ‘strange rigour’ and a rage that is ‘tempering hope’ Lock excavates the ways feral is at once both trap and means of liberation.‘Fran Lock is our savvy sc/avenging angel, undoing the curse of racial capitalism’s stranglehold on language and meaning. Mattering out of place, Vulgar Errors / Feral Subjects is endlessly errant, reminding us that writing is “a verb, not a noun,” immersive, propulsive and absolutely extra. Every line is so alive, so completely itself, it leaps from the page to flare bright & huge as graffiti on every wall until they fall.’ — So Mayer
White/ Other is a strange hybrid beast - part poetry, part polemic, part sectarian graffiti - a long lyric essay that grapples with the complexities of writing and living from the position of the absent subject: that is the white working-class "other" within neo-liberal culture.

A guidebook for students who enjoy the exploration of new horizons through practical experimentation, and a rewarding read for any enquiring mind. Eleven easily structured experiments thoroughly test Billy Meier's controversial WCUFO photos finally laying to rest the little model theory. The tests conclusively evince two large craft, one around three and a half meters in diameter and the other around seven meters in diameter. Anyone with an open, skeptical mind who enjoys practical, analytical, and straightforward tests and discovery will gain much from this book. One intention of this book, apart from just coming to grips with these enigmatic photos, is for it to function as a possible guidebook for young scientists and students. This guide can work as a textbook, a supplementary text, extracurricular material, or in any way deemed useful to the reader or student. The eleven practical and scientific experiments it presents could constitute part of a science course for high school or college students. It is also for the curious, and people interested in following a scientific procedure to arrive at certain facts or truths. We suggest students, experimenters, or armchair readers use this book as a scientist conducting any or all of the eleven experiments and analyses in it. Ideally, to successfully perform these experiments, readers should possess, or have available the core competencies explained in the Introduction; but most importantly, to have curiosity and an open, critical, and skeptical mind ready for experimentation and discovery of the facts and truth concerning the WCUFO. The book is also intended to help those with an interest in the Billy Meier case better understand the nature of these WCUFO photographs, and to shed some much-needed understanding of the truth regarding at least some of these famous - and most controversial - UFO photographs.

Catholicism, Identity and Politics in the Age of Enlightenment

Explores the changing aspirations, attitudes and identities of English Catholics in the late eighteenth century This book explores the changing aspirations, attitudes and identities of English Catholics in the late eighteenth century, a period which marked a critical moment of transition in their spiritual, political and intellectual culture. It is based on the experiences of the English Catholic baronet, Grand Tourist and politician Sir Thomas Gascoigne (1745-1810). Gascoigne was born on the Continent into a devout Catholic family based in Yorkshire; however, following an unusual Continental upbringing and extensive series of Grand Tours to the courts of Catholic Europe, he would abjure his faith for a seat in Parliament. Throughout his life, he was an important advocate of agricultural reform, a considerable coal owner interested in mining engineering, as well as a keen developer of spa culture. By examining the experiences of Gascoigne and his milieu, this book explores English Catholic attitudes towards continental Catholicism, the influence of the European Enlightenment upon their education and outlook, and how this affected their Christianity, their estates and their conception of national identity. It demonstrates how increased toleration entailed a gradual rejection amongst English Catholics of a pious separatism for a more ecumenical and, ultimately, Enlightened approach to religion. Although this risked the loss of English Catholics to Anglicanism, many - like Gascoigne - remained crypto-Catholic in sympathy. They adapted their faith to the Enlightenment and regarded it as a matter of personal conviction and private choice. ALEXANDER LOCK is Curator of Modern Historical Manuscripts at the British Library.
"The starlings dance in mesmerising patterns. In and out they fold. Up and down. Below them a Victorian pier has stood the test of time, carrying each generation over a cold and relentless sea."This heartfelt historical drama follows the lives of five strangers over the course of 150 years. Each of them stop to look at the murmuration of starlings in the very same spot on the pier of a Victorian seaside town, and from that moment on their distinct stories are united by a common thread: a terrible mistake that keeps on repeating with every generation. Only one mysterious man has the power to stop history repeating itself again by solving a mystery as old as the pier itself.A sweeping narrative filled with intrigue and magical realism, Murmuration explores the shifting patterns of fate. Is there order in the universe? And if not, how can our souls ever truly move on? A perfect summer read for fans of Cloud Atlas.`Murmuration is a magically woven tale of human connectivity, frailty, and the hold the past can have over the present. My promise of just one more page was constantly broken,' Laura Parish, Novel Kicks`This is simply a splendid book. Full of convincing and realistic characters, their various voices convey not only their personalities but also a sense of time... Those who enjoy historical novels for their understanding of people of the past will find much to savour in this book,' Julie Barham`I have fallen in love with this book and its hypnotic and mesmerizing stories... I just didn't want it to end and already know that I will come back to it time and time again. This is a tremendous work of art, as Robert Lock creates the most vivid images with his beautiful descriptions in every single sentence. At times it is simple and direct and at others more exquisite and flamboyant. It is absolute perfection!' Sue Hampson`Murmuration is a deeply compelling insight into the human condition. A stark and honest debut,' Mari Ellis Dunning

Moel-y-Gaer (Bodfari): A Small Hillfort in Denbighshire, North Wales

Moel-y-Gaer (Bodfari) is the northernmost of a series of hillforts atop the Clwydian hills in north-eastern Wales. Nine seasons of survey and excavation have revealed details of Moel-y-Gaer’s ramparts, entrances and interior. This small hillfort started with a single rampart, later to be enlarged on the western side with an extra rampart and ditch. The second phase rampart was constructed of dry-stone walling and increased in width at least once. It was shown to be very different in character to the earlier rampart. An early western entrance was no longer used in the later phase, which saw the construction of an inturned entrance to the north. There is little evidence for occupation within the enclosure although a single roundhouse was constructed facing the northern entrance. Radiocarbon dating establishes all the second phase activity within the Middle Iron Age with the first phase rampart being somewhat earlier. Discussion situates Moel-y-Gaer (Bodfari) within current understandings of the later prehistoric settlement record for north-eastern Wales paying particular attention to hillforts.
When Scotland Yard's first detective branch was set up in 1842 crime was very different from today.The favoured murder weapon was the cut-throat razor; carrying a pocket watch was dangerous; the most significant clue at a murder scene could be the whereabouts of a candlestick or hat; large households (family, servants and lodgers) complicated many a case and servants sometimes murdered their masters.Detectives had few aids and suffered many disadvantages. The bloody handprints found at two early murder scenes were of no help, there being no way of telling whether blood (or hair) was human or animal. Fingerprinting was fifty years away, DNA profiling another hundred and photography was too new to help with identification. All reports had to be handwritten with a dip pen and ink and the only means of keeping contact with colleagues and disseminating information was by post, horseback or foot.In spite of these handicaps and severe press criticism, the detectives achieved some significant successes. Joan Lock includes such classic cases as the First Railway Murder, as well as many fascinating, fresh reports, weaving in new developments like the electric telegraph against a background of authentic Victorian police procedure.Charles Dickens said that Scotland Yard detectives gave the impression of leading lives of strong mental excitement. Readers of this book will understand why.Praise for Joan Lock...'Thorough account of important early cases dealt with by Scotland Yard.' - Professor B. J. Rahn'A better picture of the development of the detectives and the CID in the 19th century Metropolitan Police than any other book I have read.' - Alan Moss'Vivid detail' - Historical Novel SocietyJoan Lock is an ex-nurse and former policewoman. Joan has also written short stories, radio plays, radio documentaries and eight crime novels. She lives in London.
In 1878 the Criminal Investigation Department replaced Scotland Yard's corrupt and discredited Detective Branch.In this classic story of the early days of detection, Joan Lock tells the fascinating story of the creation of the CID, the scandal which preceded it, and the successes and failures of the new organization, including early cases such as the four murders by Ernest Southey, the ferocious outbreak of dockland killings in 1869 and the more familiar Bravo, Neill Cream and Jack the Ripper crimes.First World War spy and Dear John jealousy murders were followed by Roaring Twenties' swindles and the arrival of motor car bandits - which in turn led to the formation of the Flying Squad and the adoption of mobile wireless telegraphy.The introduction of women detectives is also discussed and the difficulties they experienced in establishing their place in a male dominated force.Joan Lock closes the gap between the academic police historian and the writer of popular true crime, making this book a fascinating read for crime experts and the general reader alike.

A surprising and curious relationship sparks into life between the two very different women, both of them searching for connection and purpose.
