Robinson Crusoe Counsels Against Solitude
In the three centuries since Robinson Crusoe, protagonist of Daniel Defoe's 1719 novel, first appeared, he has become a global icon of solitude. His twenty-eight-year sojourn on a 'desert' island has come to symbolize solitariness at its most extreme; his methods of survival are the stuff of legend. But a closer look at Defoe's writings on solitude shows that his views of the solitary life were complex and riddled with paradoxes. Why did a man wh…

Solitude and Soul in Restoration Britain
In 1672 John Evelyn, Restoration courtier, diarist and polymath, formed a platonic soul union with Margaret Blagge (later Godolphin), a young maid of honour in Queen Catherine's household. Both were devout Anglicans whose religious practices were shaped by their love of 'recesse'. For four years they enacted a spiritual solitude à deux in an emotionally charged relationship lived out through private prayer and epistolary devotional exchanges, unt…
Subversive Chat
Social gatherings of the indoor, up-close variety have featured little in our lives since spring 2020. People crowded together in homes or restaurants or pubs, chatting as the booze flows...the ordinary pleasures of a pandemic Beforetime. I’ve missed this sociability. What I’ve missed most are the dinner parties. A dinner with old friends, maybe with a few people I’ve not met before, moving from chitchat and gossip into extended, occasionally ten…

Philosophical Solitude
The philosopher meditating alone in his study is a cliché of western culture. But behind the hackneyed image lies a long history of controversy. Was solitude the 'palace of learning' that many learned people, religious and secular, perceived it, or a debilitating state of solipsistic misery and intellectual degeneracy, as its enemies described it? In the mid eighteenth century the debate became fiercely personal during a public quarrel between tw…

The Last Asylum
The Demise of the Asylum in Late Twentieth-Century Britain
Mental health care in Britain was revolutionised in the late twentieth century, as a public asylum system dating back to the 1850s was replaced by a community-based psychiatric service. This paper examines this transformation through the lens of an individual asylum closure. In the late 1980s, I spent several months in Friern mental hospital in north-east London. Friern was the former Colney Hatch Asylum, one of the largest and most notorious of …

Elsewhere they are embracing a wider range of services including rehabilitation, intermediate care and health services designed to reduce us…

Introduction
A1University of East London
Feminists Versus Gallants
Mary Wollstonecraft is usually portrayed as an Enlightenment thinker. But in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792) she denounced "modern philosophers" for purveying prejudicial images of women masked in a rhetoric of sexual compliment. This essay explores the relationship between Enlightenment attitudes to women and feminism in Britain, showing the gap that opened up between mainstream enlightened opinion ("modern gallantry") and women's-ri…

How Adult Learners Make Sense of Their Dyslexia
Although dyslexia was officially recognised as a disability in the 1995 Disability Discrimination Act, more widespread awareness of hidden disabilities has often been and remains problematic. Comparatively little has been written about the experiences of dyslexic adults; this paper aims to demonstrate that the non-recognition of dyslexia has been inherently disabling for one group of adult learners who participated in focus group research after a…
