Taking King Lear as her central text, Judy Kronenfeld seriously questions the critical assumptions of much of today’s most fashionable Shakespeare scholarship. Charting a new course beyond both New Historicist and deconstructionist critics, she suggests a theory of language and interpretation that provides essential historical and linguistic contexts for the key terms and concepts of the play. Opening the play up to the implications of these contexts and this interpretive theory, she reveals much about Lear, English Reformation religious culture, and the state of contemporary criticism. Kronenfeld’s focus expands from the text of Shakespeare’s play to a discussion of a shared Christian culture-a shared language and set of values-a common discursive field that frames the social ethics of the play. That expanded focus is used to address the multiple ways that clothing and nakedness function in the play, as well as the ways that these particular images and terms are understood in that shared context. As Kronenfeld moves beyond Lear to uncover the complex resonances of clothing and nakedness in sermons, polemical tracts, legislation, rhetoric, morality plays, and actual or alleged practices such as naked revolts by Anabaptists and the Adamians’ ritual disrobing during religious services, she demonstrates that many key terms and concepts of the period cannot be tied to a single ideology. Instead, they represent part of an intricate network of thought shared by people of seemingly opposite views, and it is within such shared cultural networks that dissent, resistance, and creativity can emerge. Warning her readers not to take the language of literary texts out of the linguistic context within which it first appeared, Kronenfeld has written a book that reinterprets the linguistic model that has been the basis for much poststructuralist criticism.

Nearly 400,000 BBC TV viewers named Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the son of a French royalist, as the greatest ever Briton, second only to Winston Churchill. The visionary Victorian engineer and driving force of the Great Western Railway undoubtedly still occupies a special place in people's hearts and minds.Hundreds of streets and shopping malls, pubs and car parks, open spaces and public buildings bear the name of Brunel or the Great Western in honour of his magnificent bridges and viaducts, tunnels and station buildings.To mark the bicentenary of Brunel's birth, Judy Jones trekked 500 miles from Paddington to Penzance to explore the legacy of his railway revolution. Tracking the route of the GWR via footpaths, bridleways and country lanes with her energetic border collie Fly, she explored towns, villages and rural backwaters of southern England and the West Country to discover its impact on contemporary life.Isambard's Kingdom reveals a hidden world of dedicated railway enthusiasts who are breathing new life into abandoned branch lines and old railway buildings, and sketches the people, landscapes and wildlife encountered on the way.
In February 1820, a gang of men, led by Arthur Thistlewood and his committee gather in a loft to assassinate the British Cabinet, ostensibly dining together in nearby Grosvenor Square. The plot has been masterminded by a government spy. Though the Committee is hanged, their ambitions do not die with them.Driven by hunger and by rage at the Peterloo massacre of August 1819, the men are easily led. It has been easy for historians to dismiss the so-called "Cato Street Conspirators" as misguided fools. But with what meager resources, they fought to the bone for universal suffrage Judy Meewezen plunders her own extensive research and experiences to imagine the story from the participants' point of view, of their own and their families' efforts to create a fairer world."It is exceptionally well researched, and shows a deep understanding of the circumstances, personal and historical, that could lead people to imagine that they could assassinate their own government and set off a popular rebellion. There are fictional events and characters, but these fit so well with what is known that the dividing line is almost imperceptible, even to the well-informed reader. It pulls off the trick of making the conspiracy seem at the same time both bizarre and understandable..." - Robert Poole, Professor of History, UCLAN, School of Humanities"Meewezen's beautiful story-telling brings the fascinating events of the Cato Street Conspiracy, London, 1820, to life at last. Turtle Soup for the King is meticulously researched, the result of painstaking visits to archives and locations in Britain and beyond, as well as creative immersion in the back-story of a momentous, but all-too-often overlooked historical moment..." - Dr Sibylle Erle MA PhD FRSA FHEALondoner, Judy Meewezen is a full-time writer. She earned a living in the mainstream print and broadcast media, firstly as an arts journalist and broadcaster, later in creative jobs in television documentaries and drama series in Britain and Europe. In her own story-telling, she is drawn to the skittishness of memory and to secrets from the shadows of history. Judy enjoys a widely scattered community of family and close friends. She is a traveler, an honorary Austrian, a lover of South Africa, and an enthusiastic cook.
This book is a bite-size introduction to the Kingdom of God, written in a way that even a child can understand. It is appropriate for everyone, both Christians and non-Christians because it shows us how to interact with others whether of our faith or not, how to have power to be well in mind, soul and body, and how to do the will of our Heavenly Father.
