widows dr janis lomas professor maggie andrews

Historically seen as figures of pity and foreboding – poverty stricken receivers of charity, tragic figures dressed in black and even sometimes sexually voracious predators or witches – widows have been subject to powerful stereotypes that have endured for centuries. But for many women, widowhood unfolded into a vastly more complex story. From being property of men and housekeepers – the owners of nothing – they found themselves suddenly enfranchised, empowered and free to conduct themselves however they wished. From suffrage campaigners and politicians, to entrepreneurs and newly self-made women, the effect of widows’ might can be seen throughout history. In Widows historians Maggie Andrews and Janis Lomas pull together the stories of fascinating women, both famous and unknown, and their exploits after being widowed. They show how throughout history widows have carried on with everyday life in the face of poverty or isolation, their struggles for political power and the ways that many of them have contributed to improving the lives of women today.

In the late Iron Age, Rome was a small collection of huts arranged over a few hills. By the third century BC, it had become a large and powerful city, with monumental temples, public buildings and grand houses. It had conquered the whole of Italy and was poised to establish an empire. But how did it accomplish this historic transformation? This book explores the development of Rome during this period, and the nature of its control over Italy, considering why and how the Romans achieved this spectacular dominance. For Rome was only one of a number of emerging centres of power during this period. From its complex forms of government, to its innovative connections with other states, Kathryn Lomas shows what set Rome apart. Examining the context and impact of the city''s dominance, as well as the key political, social and economic changes it engendered, this is crucial reading for anyone interested in Ancient Rome.

For fans of Joe Sacco, a panoramic, stunningly illustrated account of Russia and the post-Soviet space by an anti-Putin artist exiled from her homeland.Even before Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine in 2022, dissent in Russia was an increasingly elusive commodity. Since then it has been effectively banned, as Russian dissidents are assassinated, imprisoned, or forced into exile.

As Captain Scott lay freezing and starving to death on his return journey from the South Pole, he wrote with a stub of pencil his final words: ‘For God’s sake look after our people.’ Uppermost in his mind were the three women who would now be widows: Kathleen, his own bohemian artist wife; Oriana, the devout wife of the expedition’s chief scientist, Ted Wilson; and Lois, the Welsh working-class wife of Petty Officer Edgar Evans.When the news came that the men were dead, they became heroes, their story filling column inches in newspapers across the world. Their widows were thrust into the limelight, forced to grieve in public view, keeping a stiff upper lip while the world praised their husbands’ sacrifice. These three women had little in common except that their husbands had died together, but this shared experience was to shape the rest of their lives.Each experienced their loss differently, their treatment by the press and the public influenced by their class and contemporary notions of both manliness and womanly behaviour.

The town of St Andrews in Fife has much to celebrate. Its cathedral was the largest church built in Scotland and the bishops, and later archbishops, played an important role in ruling medieval Scotland. Scotland’s first university was established in St Andrews, which began teaching religious studies in 1410. The university has been the choice for many famous people and is also responsible for many of the town’s traditions. The town was a favourite of Mary, Queen of Scots, who owned a home in St Andrews. In 1663, astrologer and mathematician James Gregory published a design for the first reflecting telescope in St Andrews, and in 1673 Gregory laid the first Meridian line, which earned St Andrews the title ‘the place where time began’. St Andrews is best known, however, as the home of golf. The game had been played and developed in the town for centuries before the formation of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club in 1754, which is considered the headquarters of golf. The town is also famous for its long, sandy beaches, which attracted filmmakers who shot the opening sequence of Chariots of Fire on the West Sands.

Při rozboru symboliky zednářských obřadů dochází autoři k důkazu přímé spojitosti mezi moderními zednáři a středověkými templáři.Když se členové zednářské lóže Ch. Knight a R. Lomas rozhodli nalézt původ svobodného zednářství, netušili, že tím začnou odhalovat skutečný příběh Ježíše Krista a původní jeruzalémské církve. Pečlivým analyzováním a srovnáváním staroegyptských dokumentů, Starého a Nového zákona, raných křesťanských a rabínských textů, svitků od Mrtvého moře a rituálů svobodného zednářství dokázali autoři rekonstruovat zapomenutý příběh Ježíše a jeho bratra Jakuba a popsat jejich zápas o vybudování "království nebeského" na zemi s pomocí rituálů v zednářském stylu. V založení křesťanské církve autoři odhalují politický záměr, jenž má s mužem, jemuž říkáme "Ježíš", pramálo společného.

'I beg as soon as you get Fielding's Joseph Andrews, I fear in Ridicule of your Pamela and of Virtue in the Notion of Don Quixote's Manner, you would send it to me by the very first Coach.' (George Cheyne in a letter to Samuel Richardson, February 1742) Both Joseph Andrews (1742) and Shamela (1741) were prompted by the success of Richardson's Pamela (1740), of which Shamela is a splendidly bawdy parody. But in Shamela Fielding also demonstrates his concern for the corruption of contemporary society, politics, religion, morality, and taste. The same themes - together with a presentation of love as charity, as friendship, and in its sexual taste - are present in Joseph Andrews, Fielding'sfirst novel.It is a work of considerable literary sophistication and satirical verve, but its appeal lies also in its spirit of comic affirmation, epitomized in the celebrated character of Parson Adams. This revised and expanded edition follows the text of Joseph Andrews established by Martin C. Battestin for the definitive Wesleyan Edition of Fielding's works.The text of Shamela is based on the first edition, and two substantial appendices reprint the preliminary matter from Conyers Middleton's Life of Cicero and the second edition of Richardson's ...

For anyone interested in a gifted, neglected 20th century artist (thoroughly trained at the Kent Thanet School of Art and subsequently the renowned London Central School of Arts & Crafts), this retrospective art selection should provide a fascinating link to the post-WWII period of English art. This selection includes Maggie’s early post-war years. These include pen/ink advertising and magazine/book illustrations. Early Watercolours include an unnamed London bridge and paintings done in France, 1947. In the 1960’s Maggie began painting in oils. This coincided with her semi-abstract works inspired by storm-blasted trees. Concurrently, her ‘romantic dream fantasy’ period also began, resulting in many outstandingly creative works. These latter concerned the darkness of loss and separation. Maggie’s imaginative work also included illustrations for projected children’s books. Maggie’s lino-cut work is represented here in its impressive exactness. Her pastel work is notable for its engaging incisiveness. As well as landscape oils, Maggie’s work offers vividly recognisable children’s and adult’s portraits. Examples of her house commission paintings demonstrate Maggie’s assured handling of architectural structure. Her last oil works often dealt with inner desolation. For instance, Maggie’s striking oil picture: The Widows. Influences are found in the work of Graham Sutherland, Paul Nash, Rene Magritte ... Unknown localization key: "more"
