Roman Multi-Functional Long-Handled Instruments: A Colchester Perspective
Roman long-handled ligulae , spoon-probes and spatula-probes are usually referred to as toilet equipment associated with the preparation and application of cosmetics and unguents. British and continental funerary assemblages show that they can also appear in medical kits, where they would have served a similar use for salves and other medicaments, and a few have been found with writing equipment, probably having been used in the preparation of in…
Healthcare in Roman Colchester
Colchester Museums has collected Roman-period medical instruments from the town since the late nineteenth century. Brought together here, along with items from the town housed in other institutions, their typological links or differences are explored, along with their wide range of uses. They are set in a variety of contexts, including a conquest-period British Doctor’s kit from Stanway, near Colchester, the alloys used in their manufacture, thei…
The Cambridge History of the British Essay
From ancient influences on the essay as a form of rhetoric to the Irish essay as performance, from British imperial propaganda to African postcolonial resistance, from political pamphlets to the rise of literary professionalism, from gastronomy to ecocriticism, The Cambridge History of the British Essay offers the first authoritative single-volume history of the form's development within the British literary tradition. It restores to the contempo…
Re-examining the reused Roman masonry at Rubers Law hillfort
Antiquarian exploration of the archaeological features on Rubers Law (NGR: NT 58030 15567), a large hill in the Scottish Borders, found approximately 30 worked Roman stones on the summit of the hill. Based on the prominent location and visibility from the site, these stones led to the conclusion that there had been a Roman tower on the hill, despite a lack of further supporting evidence. In order to investigate the possibility of a Roman structur…
Walter Pater and the Beginnings of English Studies
Walter Pater's significance for the institutionalization of English studies at British universities in the nineteenth century is often overlooked. Addressing the importance of his volume Appreciations (1889) in placing English literature in both a national and an international context, this book demonstrates the indebtedness of the English essay to the French tradition and brings together the classic, the Romantic, the English and the European. W…
On Essays: Montaigne to the Present
What is an essay, and how did the essay emerge as a literary form? What are the continuities and surprising emergences across its history, from Montaigne’s 1580 Essais to the present? This volume assembles seventeen essays which address patterns and oddities in the history of the genre, paying attention both to the transformed legacies of the earliest essayists across the centuries, and to the form’s contemporary vibrancy. Contributors, both scho…
Greville’s Scantlings: Architecture, Measure, and the Defence of Modular Poesy
This chapter examines Greville’s ‘architectonical art’ in his treatise poems: both his use of architectural imagery and proportionate form, and his engagement with Sir Philip Sidney’s discussion, following Aristotle, of poetry’s relationship to the architectonic ‘mistress-knowledge’ of ethics, politics, and virtue, in the Defense of Poesy . The essay begins by establishing the close relationship of Greville’s Dedication to Sidney ’s ideas and the…
Equine Facilitated Therapy for Complex Trauma (EFT-CT)
Emerging research suggests that Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) may be beneficial for traumatized youth. In addition, complex trauma (i.e., multiple and/or prolonged developmentally adverse traumatic events which are typically interpersonal in nature) treatment research is still growing and there is a need for the development and examination of novel treatments for youth with complex trauma histories. The current article describes a promis…

The Emergence of Impartiality
This volume exposes the contested history of a virtue so central to modern disciplines and public discourse that it can seem universal. The essays gathered here, however, demonstrate the emergence of impartiality. From the early seventeenth century, the new epithet ‘impartial’ appears prominently in a wide range of publications. Contributors trace impartiality in various fields: from news publications and polemical pamphlets to moral philosophy a…
R obert B urton and the problems of polymathy
R obert B urton called his period ‘this scribling age’, in which the copiousness of printed matter and the multitude of authors caused problems both of discernment – how to distinguish true scholars from intellectual quacks? – and of quantity: how can the scholar hope to master the ‘vast C haos and confusion of B ookes’? This article addresses B urton's engagement with these questions, and examines both his attempt to establish a polymathic perso…
Thomas Traherne, Thomas Hobbes, and the Rhetoric of Realism
Thomas Traherne has often been seen as a mystic detached from the turbulence of his period. Recent scholarship has attempted to place him more firmly in context. This article contributes to this trend in arguing that Traherne's late works, especially Commentaries of Heaven, were shaped by the pressure of responding to Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan. Though Traherne makes only one direct reference to Hobbes, his idiosyncrasies in thought, argument, and…
Defining Spiritual Care: An Exploratory Study
An electronic search was conducted on Medline for the years 1980-2005 identified 101 journal articles with the words "spiritual care" in their title, the majority of which were from nursing journals. Content analysis performed on 28 articles judged to be most relevant yielded 250 unique descriptions of interventions, which were subsequently consolidated to form 66 discrete interventions. Twenty five professional chaplains rated each item on the d…
