The Elusive Lady Apsley
This article proposes to assess the career and political significance of Bristol's first woman M.P., Lady Apsley (1895–1966) who held office between 1943 and 1945. It seeks to do this with reference both to feminist historiography, which questions traditional demarcations between ‘women's activities’ and mainstream politics, and to the post-colonial scholarship which challenges a strictly metropolitan approach to analysing British political figur…

Politics, Populism, and Professionalism
This article explores some of the challenges and opportunities facing academic historians involved in large British public history projects and examines how government priorities and the particular ways in which public funds are deployed can affect the critical intellectual content of such projects. To this end it first broadly outlines the context in which British public history has recently developed and then focuses on my own experiences as le…
Gothic Terms, Themes, Concepts and Contexts
Just as THE UNCANNY offers a connection to the structure of the unconscious, the abject offers a sensation of horror that connects us viscerally to the experience of repression and the process of subject formation. For Julia Kristeva, in Powers of Horror, abjection disturbs ‘identity, system, order’ and is characterised by ‘the in-between, the ambiguous, the composite’.
Remembering Slavery and Abolition in Bristol
This article charts how the public commemoration of slavery and abolition in the former slaving port of Bristol, England, evolved from the late nineteenth century to the bicentennial of the abolition of the British slave trade in 2007. It argues that by the late twentieth century, demographic changes in the city and the explosion in slavery scholarship helped to destabilise the consensus about how the city's slaving past should be characterised. …

Recent debates over the rights and wrong of Jewish circumcision in Britain seem curiously uniformed by any historical understanding. This article considers the significance of the circumcision motif in mid-eighteenth century Britain, and goes on to investigate the way in which this motif has been subsequently deployed by political, religious and medical writers up until the twentieth century. It is argued that the language in which Jewish circumc…

Davidoff, L., L'Esperance, J., and Newby, H. 1976
L'article, Landscape with figures (Paysage avec personnages) par Davidoff, l'Espérance et Newby, traite des rapports sociaux idéalisés, tels qu'ils sont incarnés dans les modèles de la communauté rurale du village et de la maison. Ces idéaux expriment une préférence qui a existé de longue date dans la tradition intellectuelle anglaise, pour une forme organique d'organisation sociale, non gâtée par le développement industriel et l'égalité politiqu…
