  • Mrs Gulliver's Travels: Minor‐Character Elaboration in Theory and Practice

    Open AccessD CookARTICLECritical Quarterly2025

    Mary Burton, a hosier's daughter from London, married a 20-something seafaring surgeon from Nottinghamshire in 1688. Eleven years later, her husband undertook the first of four voyages to several remote nations that later became the basis of bestselling memoirs. This book is Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726), a prose satire that has been abridged, adapted and reworked for different audiences ever since. Mary barely features in Travels, a…

  • Social Network Analysis and the Dating of Coptic Manuscripts from the Monastery of Saint Macarius

    Open AccessD Cook, Samuel Peter Cook et al.ARTICLEVigiliae Christianae2025

    The present article focuses on the potential of Social Network Analysis (SNA) to assist in dating undated Coptic manuscripts from a monastic context. Focusing on one individual - Papa Mena of the Great Cell, a monk and lector from the Monastery of Saint Macarius in Lower Egypt - I examine the social networks in which he participated in order to estimate the dates of the manuscripts in which he appears. The results of this analysis have further im…

  • The More-Than-Human Other of Levinas’s Totality & Infinity

    Open AccessD CookARTICLEJournal of French and Francophone…2022Cited by: 1References: 2

    Emmanuel Levinas’s writings militate against an ontological way of thinking that he claims dominates the history of European philosophy. In their drive towards truth and knowledge, Levinas argues that thinkers like Kant, Hegel, and Heidegger efface the alterity of the Other, the Other’s “otherness,” by appropriating alterity as a moment of self-consciousness or Being. This ontological thinking, Levinas argues, attempts to violently reduce the unt…

  • Change Calls Upon Public Administrators to Act, But in What Way? Exploring Administration as a Platform for Governance

    Nicholas C Zingale, D Cook et al.ARTICLEAdministrative Theory & Praxis2018Cited by: 2References: 15

    An economy based on open and loose networks with information and big data platforms designed for sharing and hacking is being thrust upon us. How might this impact the way we govern and how administrative work gets done? When addressing public issues, administrators have always faced complexities of governance, including divergent structures and procedures. These are most apparent when administrators experience slippage among groups and between s…

  • Reading Swift's poetry, 1967–2017

    Open AccessD CookARTICLELiterature Compass2018References: 9

    This essay surveys major scholarship on Jonathan Swift's poetry published after 1967, the 300th anniversary of his birth up to the 350th, in 2017. What is the current status of Swift as a poet, as distinct from Swift the prose satirist or even Swift the Hibernian Patriot? Is he best placed in separate Irish or English traditions or in both? Was he a mere man of rhymes or an ambitious poet? How have scholars approached his verse? Which works have …

  • Broad-Church Homiletics, Kingsley's Hypatia , and the Cultivated Reader in the Pew

    Open AccessD CookARTICLEVictorian Literature and Culture2016References: 8

    The first issue and number of the Nineteenth Century , 1877, included a searching article by J. Baldwin Brown entitled “Is the Pulpit Losing Its Power?” Looking back over the decades, Brown marked a generational decline in England's preaching, which he argued had now been eclipsed by a print market distributing “freest discussion of the most sacred truths.” Brown lamented that fewer talented men now joined the Anglican ministry, while the Church …

  • OP29 Ethnic and Socioeconomic Influences on Childhood Blood Pressure: The Child Heart and Health Study in England (Chase)

    C Thomas, Cate Thomas et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2012

    Background Compared to UK white European adults, UK black African-Caribbean adults have higher mean systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure; UK South Asian adults have higher mean DBP but lower SBP. However, information on blood pressure in UK children from different ethnic groups is limited. The aim of this study was to compare blood pressure levels in UK children of black African-Caribbean, South Asian and white European origin. Metho…

  • On Genius and Authorship: Addison to Hazlitt

    D CookARTICLEThe Review of English Studies2012

    Critical interest in literary genius did not escalate in the early Romantic period as a response to the Augustan investment in the rules of art; nor did the terms of the debates originate with Edward Young or Joseph Addison. More accurately, Addison’s Spectator papers of 1711 and 1712 popularized such notions as ‘natural genius’ and ‘the spirit of imitation’ (as distinct from ‘servile imitation’), and thereby punctuated a critical tradition that …

  • P2-222 Risk markers for coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes in childhood: Comparison of Indian children living in India and the UK

    Claire Nightingale, Ghattu V Krishnaveni et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Introduction UK Indian adults have higher risks of coronary heart disease (CHD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) than Indian and UK European adults. With growing evidence that CHD and T2D risks begin before adulthood, we compared risk factor patterns in Indian children living in India and the UK. Methods We compared markers of adiposity and cardiometabolic risk in 9–10 year-old Indian children in the Mysore Parthenon birth cohort study, India (n=538) an…

    Introduction UK South Asian adults have high risks of coronary heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes (T2D) when compared with Europeans; UK African-Caribbeans have high risks of stroke and T2D and low coronary heart disease risks. With growing evidence that cardiovascular disease risks begin before adulthood, we compared risk factor patterns and vascular disease markers in UK children from these ethnic groups. Methods We conducted a school-ba…

  • Papanicolaou Screening in Taiwan: Perceived Barriers and Self-Efficacy

    Wei-Chen Tung, Wei‐chen Tung et al.ARTICLEHealth Care For Women International2010

    Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of death in Taiwan, and frequency of screening remains low. We surveyed Taiwanese women about beliefs and practices related to cervical screening, searching for perceived barriers and self-efficacy using the transtheoretical model. We assessed demographics, 12 perceived barriers, and seven self-efficacy measures for 222 Taiwanese women. Data were analyzed descriptively and with multiple linear regression. B…

  • Bodies of Scholarship: Witnessing the Library in Late-Victorian Fiction

    Open AccessD CookARTICLEVictorian Literature and Culture2010Cited by: 1References: 7

    In one of the fictive dialogues from his 1872 book The Poet at the Breakfast-Table , Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. dispensed advice to any scholar planning to start a private library: I have a kind of notion of the way in which a library ought to be put together – no, I don't mean that, I mean ought to grow. . . . A scholar must shape his own shell, secrete it one might almost say, for secretion is only separation, you know, of certain elements deriv…

  • Ethnic differences in type 2 diabetes risk markers in children in the UK are not explained by socio-economic status: Child Heart and Health Study in England

    Objectives To examine the influence of socio-economic position on type 2 diabetes risk markers in different ethnic groups and determine whether differences in socio-economic position can explain ethnic differences in type 2 diabetes risk. Design Cross-sectional survey of children in 200 primary schools in London, Birmingham and Leicester (Child Heart and Health Study England, or CHASE) in which standardised anthropometric and fasting blood measur…

  • Leibniz on ‘prophets’, prophecy, and revelation

    Open AccessD Cook, Daniel J CookARTICLEReligious Studies2009

    During Leibniz's lifetime, interest in the interpretation of the Bible and biblical prophecy became central to the theological and political concerns of Protestant Europe. Leibniz's treatment of this phenomenon will be examined in the light of his views on the nature of revelation and its role in his defence of Christianity. It will be argued that Leibniz's defence of the miracle of revelation (and its vehicle, biblical prophecy) – unlike his arg…

  • Tradition and Critique

    D CookARTICLETelos1992Cited by: 1

    Anthony Giddens has recently located modernity's fault lines in the loss of the binding normative character of traditions. This loss is countered by attempts to reestablish or create "new" traditions. Such attempts do not represent a nostalgic bid for something irretrievably lost, but rather "an incipient move beyond a world dominated by internally referential systems." Giddens recommends "life-political issues" as the vehicles for "the return of…
