Sport, War and the British: 1850 To the Present
Spanning the colonial campaigns of the Victorian age to the War on Terror after 9/11, this study explores the role sport was perceived to have played in the lives and work of military personnel, and examines how sporting language and imagery were deployed to shape and reconfigure civilian society’s understanding of conflict. From 1850 onwards war reportage – complemented and reinforced by a glut of campaign histories, memoirs, novels and films – …
Commemorating the Crimean, South African and First World Wars: A Case-Study of the Royal Engineers, 1856–1922
The First World War is often held to be a watershed in the memorialisation of war in Britain. Through an exploration of the Royal Engineers’ commemorative space at their headquarters in Chatham, this article argues that the post–1918 war memorial boom displays not only divergences from, but also continuities with, Victorian and Edwardian practices. Thus, although the mass volunteerism and conscription of 1914–1918 resulted in both the rank and fi…
We are having a very enjoyable game’: Britain, sport and the South African War, 1899–1902
This article explores the relationship between sport and war in Britain during the South African War, 1899–1902. Through extensive press coverage, as well as a spate of memoirs and novels, the British public was fed a regular diet of war stories and reportage in which athletic endeavour and organized games featured prominently. This contemporary literary material sheds light on the role sport was perceived to have played in the lives and work of …
Stephen Heathorn. Haig and Kitchener in Twentieth-Century Britain: Remembrance, Representation and Appropriation
With governments, publishers, and cultural institutions gearing up for the hundredth anniversary of the Great War, tensions have already come to the fore about how the event should be marked. Should this be a time for national celebration or global reflection? In Britain, the inclusion of Sebastian Faulks on the First World War Centenary Advisory Board has exacerbated the concerns of some academics that the general public will be presented with y…
Remembering the South African War: Britain and the Memory of the Anglo-Boer War, from 1899 to the Present
The experience of the South African War sharpened the desire to commemorate for a number of reasons. An increasingly literate public, a burgeoning populist press, an army reinforced by waves of volunteers and, to contemporaries at least, a shockingly high death toll embedded the war firmly in the national consciousness. In addition, with the fallen buried far from home those left behind required other forms of commemoration. For these reasons, th…

South African War (1899–1902) Memorials in Britain: A Case Study of Memorialization in London and Kent
Mass public commemoration of war dead is often held to be a twentieth-century phenomenon, with its genesis in the Great War. This article argues for a pre-history occasioned by commemoration of the South African War (1899–1902) that built on shifts in the form and function of war memorials that had begun in the middle of the nineteenth century
On the Origins of the United States Government's International Population Policy
Based on documents obtained from the archives of the Agency for International Development and on the author's interviews with participants in the field, this article describes the evolution of America's international population policy. The analysis highlights the perceived negative view of the consequences of rapid population growth that were popular among American policy makers during the 1960s. Also discussed are organizational and policy chang…
Olivier, Hamlet, and Freud
That Laurence Olivier was influenced by Freud in his 1947 film of Hamlet is well known.' It is hard to miss the suggestion of Oedipal malaise in the erotic scenes between Olivier and Eileen Herlie as Gertrude, the phallic symbolism of rapier and dagger as Olivier presents them, and other indications of a robust and enthusiastic interest in psychoanalysis. It is more difficult to specify exactly how the film uses psychological ideas, and to say wh…
Bishop Gardiner, Machiavellian
Some years ago my attention was drawn by Professors Paul Kristeller and William Nelson of Columbia University to two manuscripts – one in the Bibliothèque Publique de Besançon and the other in the Escorial – of a text that appeared to be the last work of Stephen Gardiner, a leading conservative churchman, diplomat and publicist in the Henrician period, and, from 1553 until his death in 1555, Mary Tudor's chancellor. The text is in Italian, and is…
The Excavation of a Multiple Round Barrow at Barnack, Cambridgeshire 1974–1976
A multiple round barrow with three ditches and a double circle of stakes. The first phase was a bowl barrow with a buried inner ditch and a Beaker primary accompanied by a fine group of grave goods; the second phase was a ditchless refurbishing with a stake revetted mound for a cremation; the third phase was a bell barrow with an outer bank for an unaccompanied inhumation. There were at least twenty-two inhumations and one cremation interred over…
