Exploring communicative responses to collaborative music therapy and speech and language therapy in young children with acquired communication impairments
Music therapy for young children with acquired communication impairments
Introduction: Acquired communication impairments (ACIs) can significantly hinder the development and functioning of language and communication in children, impeding their social interactions and self-expression. Music therapy is emerging as a favourable practice in supporting children with ACIs; however, a deeper understanding of the clinical practices of music therapists with this population is required to advance service provision.Method: This …

History and Fiction
The literary-historical question of whether Norse-Icelandic sagas are best seen as history or as fiction must not be confused with the historical question of how reliable the sagas are as historical sources. The modern separation between ‘history’ and ‘literature’ has been shown to make no sense at all when studying the Middle Ages, during which historiography was a major branch of literature. The sagas whose historical status is most secure are …
The Destruction of Da Derga's Hostel
Irish saga literature represents the largest collection of vernacular narrative in existence from the early Middle Ages, using the tools of Christian literacy to retell myths and legends about the pagan past. This unique corpus remains marginal to standard histories of Western literature: its tales are widely read, but their literary artistry remains a puzzle to many even within Celtic studies. This book, the first to offer a systematic literary …
Time Travel and Virtual Tourism in the Age of John Martin
Travel writing and topographical poetry met the public demand for contact with distant places. This literature cradled the seeds of Victorian virtual tourism. Poems such as Thomson's Seasons invoked “the Muse” to display scenes for the mind's eye to drink in. Such imaginary views often assumed theatrical trappings, reflecting a longstanding conceit that the visible world was a theatre, a backdrop for the drama of history. To understand how the mi…
Marketing Geology
This chapter discusses how popular science in the early Victorian period was not a coherent or stable entity, but a battlefield or marketplace. Svante Lindqvist has compared eighteenth-century public science to “a mediaeval market fair, with several itinerant troupes erecting their stages and competing for the attention of the public,” and his analogy seems, if anything, even more applicable to the early nineteenth-century scene. In the field of …
Hugh Miller and the Geologic Diorama
This chapter focuses on the work of Hugh Miller, one of Britain's most talented and prolific men of letters, whose descriptions of the ancient earth are numerous, varied, and often extensive. Although some commentators found his prose overwrought, it enthralled the middle-class reading public on both sides of the Atlantic, exerting a lasting influence on writers as varied as Alfred Tennyson, John Ruskin, and Thomas Carlyle. Miller's unusually sel…

Victorian Saurians
The dinosaur is a nineteenth-century creation. Fossil reptilian bones had been objects of wonder since antiquity, but only with the rise of modern geology around 1800 were they widely viewed as the remains of extinct creatures which had predated humans. This interpretation was aided by significant British fossil finds from the 1810s onwards (initially of marine saurians, and from the 1820s, terrestrial saurians), and English palaeontologists were…

Reflections on Popular Science in Britain
This essay surveys the historiography of popular science in Britain since 1994 and suggests two further ways in which the history of popular science might be reintegrated with larger narratives and concerns. First, it suggests that a closer and more systematic engagement with literary history, especially in relation to genre, has the potential to transform our understanding of science as a set of communicative practices. Second, it analyzes curre…

Young-Earth Creationists in Early Nineteenth-Century Britain? Towards a Reassessment of 'Scriptural Geology
In 1994, in these pages, Roger Cooter and Stephen Pumfrey made an eloquent case for the non-partisan study of science’s interactions with popular culture. They called for historians of popular science to imitate “the historian of popular customs or the ethnographer of witchcraft” and “adopt a ring-fenced methodological neutrality towards their object of analysis”. 1 Thirteen years on, their call appears to have been answered. Our understanding of…
Victorians and the Prehistoric
Victorians and the Prehistoric: Tracks to a Lost World, by Michael Freeman (New Haven/London: Yale U.P., 2004; pp. 310. £25). This book explores the impact of geology on Victorian society. It is organised as a series of narratives centred on key themes (such as the Deluge, evolution and museums) which together form an engaging composite portrait of the new science, complemented by a large number of breathtakingly well-reproduced illustrations, ma…
