     Extractions: Which People's War? analyzes the tensions and contradictions of home fronts in a time of war, in this case Great Britain during World War II. Professor Rose acknowledges the ability of British society to subsume its many tensions and temporarily bury many of its contradictions in the greater interest of winning the war against Nazi Germany. Nevertheless, this book demonstrates that the tensions were never fully resolved and that the contradictions remained, causing many unintended problems for British society. Rose aims to flesh out the many complexities hidden by the national "Myth of the Blitz" that depicts a unified nation rallying behind the national cause and subsuming individual interests and needs to a higher national goal. The book's best chapters analyze the issues of gender and regionalism. While the problem of femininity has received considerable attention in the literature of societies at war, that of masculinity has not. Here Professor Rose makes her most valuable contribution. She argues that notions of British masculinity were constructed in opposition not only to the obvious category of British femininity, but to...

     Extractions: The Spohr Society of Great Britain The Spohr Society was formed in 1969 as the British branch of the Internationale Louis Spohr Gesellschaft based in the German city of Kassel (where a Spohr Museum in the Bellevue Palace is open at weekends). Its aim is to promote the music of Louis Spohr (1784-1859) in as many areas as possible. Members receive four Newsletters a year and an annual Spohr Journal which contains essays about various aspects of the composer and his work. Many Spohr CDs are available to members at discounted prices. The annual subscription is £4 for residents of the United Kingdom, £5 for other European Union countries, and £6 for the rest of the world. Membership enquiries should be sent to: The Secretary England SPOHR THE MAN Spohr won an enormous reputation during the nineteenth century as a composer, violin virtuoso, conductor and teacher as well as being renowned for his upright, noble character, a man of convinced liberal and democratic beliefs who was not afraid of speaking out against the repression and autocracy which abounded during his lifetime in the small German principalities. (His contemporaries also saw this 'upright character' translated into physical terms. He was nearly 6ft 7in tall). Spohr was one of music's great travellers. He wrote an entertaining and informative autobiography, compiled an influential violin tutor, invented the chin-rest, was one of the pioneers of conducting with a baton, and hit on the idea of putting letters in a score as an aid to rehearsals. So when, in a Hollywood film about music, a Leopold Stokowski-like conductor taps his baton at rehearsal and says to the orchestra: "Back to Letter F, gentlemen", it is Spohr's innovation we are witnessing.

     Extractions: FRtR Outlines American History (1990) Chapter Three Second war with England (10/11) Previous Page Next Page Jefferson's widespread popularity assured his reelection in 1804. Louisiana was manifestly a great prize, the country was prosperous, and the President had tried hard to please all sections. In his second term, which began in 1805, Jefferson declared American neutrality during the struggle between Great Britain and France, whose forces had set up blockades that struck heavy blows at American commerce. No American craft could trade with France or Britain without threat of seizure. The British had built their navy to more than 700 warships, manned by nearly 150,000 sailors and marines, which kept Britain safe, protected her commerce, and preserved her communications with her colonies. Yet the men of her fleet were so poorly treated that it was impossible to obtain crews by free enlistment. Many sailors deserted and found refuge on American vessels. In these circumstances, British officers regarded it their right to search American ships and take off British subjects, to the great humiliation of the Americans. Moreover, British officers frequently impressed American seamen into their service. Jefferson finally persuaded Congress to pass an Embargo Act, forbidding foreign commerce. The effects of the law were disastrous. Shipping interests were almost ruined by the measure, and discontent rose in New England and New York. Agricultural interests found that they too were suffering heavily, for prices dropped drastically when the southern and western farmers could not ship their surplus grain, meat, and tobacco.
