A geologist and an Egyptologist in conversation: Sir Charles Lyell and Sir John Gardner Wilkinson
The history of archaeology, and of Egyptology, has traditionally been written as a linear narrative of progress, with narrow-minded amateurs—the antiquaries—giving way to professional archaeologists. For some, Joseph Hekekyan's excavations (co-directed by Leonard Horner) at Memphis and Heliopolis in the 1850s have been seen as a turning point, when the geological principle of stratigraphy was applied to archaeology, thus giving rise to methodical…
Geology, natural theology, and the revision of an Egyptological classic: From Biblical Deluge to ice age theory
In 1837, John Gardner Wilkinson, an English antiquary who is credited by many as having laid the foundations of British Egyptology (Thompson Citation1992 ; Thompson Citation2004 ; Bierbrier Citation2019 ), began his landmark work, Manners and Customs of the Ancient Egyptians , by assuring his readers that “the oldest and most authentic record of the primeval state of the world is unquestionably the Scripture history” ( Citation1837 , vol. 1: 1). …
Sir John Gardner Wilkinson (1797–1875) in Turkish Dress, at Thebes: The Self-Fashioning of an Antiquarian Egyptologist
In recent years, there has been considerable interest in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century cultural practice of Britons wearing indigenous dress, as well as debate as to what motivated people to re-fashion their identity in such radical ways. Typically, these practices have been viewed either as acts of cultural appropriation, or occasionally as acts of solidarity with other cultures. This article focuses on one individual, the antiquarian E…
A forgotten chapter in Egyptology: Sir John Gardner Wilkinson's investigations into a dynamic Nile
Recent landscape archaeology projects have assumed that previous generations of Egyptologists eschewed research into environmental change, with the exception of one mid nineteenth century pioneer, Joseph Hekekyan. This article shows that this narrative is mainly a historiographical artefact with little basis in reality: scholars and travellers in Egypt were interested in environmental change, mainly in relation to the River Nile, as far back as t…
The Roads Not Taken: Liberty, Sovereignty and the Idea of the Republic in Poland-Lithuania and the British Isles, 1550–1660
In the mid-sixteenth century, there were many parallels between the political cultures of Poland-Lithuania and the kingdoms of the British Isles, as thinkers inspired by the ideals of Renaissance civic humanism challenged traditional currents of thought. Across the British Isles and Poland-Lithuania there were strong native traditions asserting the liberties of communities of the realm and the need to check unbridled royal authority through parli…

The Letters of Robert Frost, Volume 2: 1920–1928
Ferdinand II, Counter-Reformation Emperor, 1578–1637, by Robert Bireley
In 1638, barely a year after its subject’s death, William Lamormaini published The Virtues of Ferdinand II. Lamormaini, Ferdinand’s confessor from 1623, played a major political role at court at the height of the Thirty Years War. The Virtues was intended to be the final volume in a four-part biography: the other three volumes, covering Ferdinand’s youth, his rule over Inner Austria and his reign as emperor, never appeared, although it is unclear…

Kaiser Ferdinand III (1608-1657): Eine Biographie, by Mark Hengerer
Ferdinand III is not exactly, as Lothar Höbelt has claimed, the ‘Forgotten Emperor’. Having succeeded his father, Ferdinand II, in 1637 at the height of the Thirty Years War, he ruled for two decades during a period which in many respects determined the future development of the Empire, and of the Austrian Habsburg monarchy. He therefore appears frequently in specialist works on the Thirty Years War; nevertheless, as Höbelt suggests, he long rema…
The Ethiopian and the Elephant? Queen Louise Marie Gonzaga and Queenship in an Elective Monarchy, 1645–1667
This article analyses the position of queens consort in the Polish-Lithuanian elective monarchy through an examination of the relationship between Louise Marie Gonzaga, queen of Poland-Lithuania (1645-48; 1649-67) and her second husband, King John Casimir (1648-68). It suggests that this relationship was far more complex than the traditional picture of a weak and subservient husband dominated by his forceful wife. It shows how Louise Marie was ab…
The Grand Strategy of the Russian Empire, 1650-1831
TO the east of Paris on 7 September 1815 (the third anniversary of the Battle of Borodino), Alexander I, Francis I of Austria, Frederick William III of Prussia and the Duke of Wellington reviewed a huge parade of the 150,000-strong Russian army which had just played a major role in the defeat of Napoleon. All three monarchs were dressed, highly symbolically, in Russian uniforms, and nobody was slow to recognise the significance of the occasion: W…
Sweden in the Seventeenth Century
Sweden in the Seventeenth Century, by Paul Douglas Lockhart (Basingstoke: Palgrave, 2004; pp. xix + 178. Pb. £17.99). The English-language historiography of early modern Sweden has long been dominated by Michael Roberts. Yet, aside from his magisterial The Swedish Imperial Experience (1979), a thematic account of the Age of Greatness, Roberts concentrated his more detailed studies on the reign of Gustav Adolf, and then the sixteenth and eighteent…
Power and the Nation in European History
Few would doubt the central importance of the nation in the making and unmaking of modern political communities. The long history of 'the nation' as a concept and as a name for various sorts of 'imagined community' likewise commands such acceptance. But when did the nation first become a fundamental political factor? This is a question which has been, and continues to be, far more sharply contested. A deep rift still separates 'modernist' perspec…

Regulating the Commercial Development of Genetic Testing in the UK: Problems, Possibilities and Policy
Genetic testing promises to revolutionize health care. This article describes the development of genetic testing in the UK and the first attempts to commercially exploit this technology. It then examines the way in which testing has been governed by both the medical profession and the state, and analyses the main unresolved issues for public policy. We argue that the full range of social policy issues raised by genetic testing can only be underst…

In Defense of Form: A Letter from Robert Frost to Sylvester Baxter, 1923
THE letter from Robert Frost to Sylvester Baxter which is printed in this article was written shortly after the first publication of the familiar poem, Stopping by on a Snowy Evening.~ In the letter, Frost does not make illuminating comments on either the circumstances in which Stopping by Woods was written, nor on its meaning, but with an urgency which is lacking in his later remarks on the poem, he defends its form, the one element, he has said…

Leaves Compared with Flowers: A Reading in Robert Frost's Poems
quil poem full of closely observed domestic and agricultural detail, it is almost operatic in effect, almost self-indulgently, swaggeringly romantic. And yet it isn't a glib line because other Frost poems about spring, written both earlier and later, justify its force by revealing both how much Frost meant the line (how sincere he was in it), and what he meant by it. In Frost's nature symbology, early springtime, in its fresh, frail, and transien…
William James, Henri Bergson, and the Poetics of Robert Frost
sistant to human wishes and yielding only to the most energetic effort of the will. From this perspective, he regarded the poem as a forcefully intended act of the mind, an expression of the way the mind seeks to master the outer world: Every poem is an epitome of the great predicament; a figure of the will braving alien entanglements.' But Frost also recognized that there are natural processes, like generation and ripening, in which the individu…

Although they rarely turn with any directness to matters of poetry, Frost's letters to his friend, accompaniment to a lifetime of close and convivial talk, open expansively upon his varied av…
