  • Just not cricket

    Tony R SmithARTICLEEuropean Journal of American…2024Referências: 2

    In the late nineteenth century, baseball became enshrined as America’s national sport. Across American culture, the game became imbued with a series of values and characteristics that seemed redolent of life in the Gilded Age and beyond. This article explores the ways in which this process played out in the pages of popular magazines directed at the children of the nation’s elite. These neglected resources provide us with an extraordinary lens th…

  • Circus at the seaside

    Open AccessMalcolm Mclaughlin, Tony R SmithARTICLECoastal Studies & Society2024Citada por: 1

    Founded in the Edwardian Age by international equestrian stars George Gilbert and Jennie O’Brien, and remarkably still working to this day, the Great Yarmouth Hippodrome circus is a heritage site of global significance. However, despite its ongoing meaning to our understanding of the social and cultural evolution of coastal entertainment, it has largely been overlooked by both seaside and circus studies—as has the broader topic of the development…

    Open AccessTony R SmithARTICLEComparative American Studies An…2023Citada por: 1Referências: 11

    Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol retains a profound presence in Transatlantic seasonal celebrations and the popular image of the festive period. While the book’s reception in the United Kingdom has been well studied, its early progress through nineteenth-century American popular culture has received much less attention and existing accounts of its rise to popularity are contradictory. This article, therefore, is an attempt to trace the ways th…

  • The transatlantic Thames

    Open AccessTony R Smith, Thomas Ruys SmithARTICLEComparative American Studies An…2021Referências: 10

    While it is widely understood that rivers took on new symbolic power as avatars of nationalism in the late nineteenth century, less examined is their use as a space for Transatlantic cultural flow, and transnational commentary and critique. This article explores the ways in which a variety of Americans abroad in this period centred the Thames - newly charged with nationalist sentiment - in their accounts of Britain. In particular, it analyses Eli…

  • It is criminal

    Open AccessPhil Chamberlain, Marcus Keppel‐palmer et al.ARTICLEJournalism2019Citada por: 4Referências: 5

    There is a widespread perception that there has been a collapse in court reporting in England and Wales as local legacy media struggles to survive in times of falling revenues and shifting audiences. However, there is little empirical evidence with which to examine the issue. This research aims to fill this knowledge gap by carrying out the first week-long systematic coding of the activity of one England and Wales magistrates’ court coupled with …

    Though almost entirely forgotten, Ralph Keeler (1840–1873) occupies a unique position in American literary history. In the decade after the Civil War, he achieved fame as an essayist and travel writer. Navigating between the literary poles of San Francisco and Boston at crucial moments, he developed significant friendships with luminaries like Mark Twain, William Dean Howells and Thomas Bailey Aldrich. But while those men were experiencing the tr…

  • A cross-cultural validation of self-control theory

    Tony R Smith, Tony Smith et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2013Citada por: 3Referências: 48

    Several core propositions of self-control theory were tested utilizing self-reported data gathered from university students in Malta, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United States. The results provide some support for the claim that ineffective parenting decreases self-control and strong support for the proposition that self-control increases deviant behavior. Additionally, tests of slope differences for key theoretical variables across samples gene…

  • I Love You but I’ve Never Met You

    Open AccessTony R SmithARTICLELiterature Compass2011Referências: 3

    The conditions creating autobiographical intimacy are sharply individualized and, contra Paul de Man, not specular. That is, the intimacy we feel with autobiographers is not a kind of mirroring of writers and readers, nor are readers confusing themselves with the autobiographer in a process of identification. My responses to the writings of St. Augustine, Margery Kempe, Rousseau, Mill, Conrad, Woolf, Menchú, and Elizabeth Gilbert reveal relations…

  • A deadly mix? An international investigation of handgun availability, drinking culture, and homicide

    Bradley R Stevens, Tony R Smith et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2011Citada por: 1Referências: 20

    The current research investigates the relationship between firearm availability and homicide rates in a nonrandom sample of countries considered “wet” or “dry” with respect to drinking culture. We contend that the relationship between firearm availability and homicide varies by culturally approved norms associated with alcohol consumption. The analysis indicates that firearm availability is a significantly better predictor of homicide in “dry” dr…

    Outlaw John A. Murrell, credited with the planning of a failed slave uprising in Mississippi in 1835, was a significant figure in antebellum popular culture. Previously unrecognized, however, is his use as a character on the antebellum stage. Proof of his employment in this role can be found in the Harvard Theatre Collection, home to a hitherto unidentified manuscript copy of a melodrama entitled Murrell, the Pirate A Play in Three Acts.

  • Yielding to Deviant Temptation

    Tony R Smith, Tony Smith et al.ARTICLEDeviant Behavior2005Citada por: 2Referências: 40

    The deviance-inhibiting power of religion is among the oldest criminological inquiries. To date, the extant empirical literature contains mixed and oftentimes contradictory evidence. Social scientists have argued that the ambiguous body of religion-deviance evidence is attributable, in some part, to known methodological weaknesses. This study responds to the criticisms of prior research by utilizing a validated measure of religiosity, employing a…

    This paper examines the accounts of three British women, Margaret Hall, Frances Trollope, and Harriet Martineau, who travelled on the Mississippi River around the year 1830. In their separate narratives and contrasting experiences of the river at this crucial moment in its history, they provided defining and archetypical answers to the problems that the Mississippi posed for its travellers in the decades before the Civil War. How were travellers …
