LETTERS FROM THE GREAT WAR
Coulson to Elliott
22 January 1916
“I don’t know whether a letter from the
trenches is a novelty to you, but this one is
being written in a dug out in the front line,
written little more than 100 yards of the
enemy, which in itself will explain the dirt on
the paper by the time the letter is written.”

Fitzsimons to Elliott
13 October 1916
“Like huge stars they rise
to a great height,
illuminating no mans land
and the country side
around.”
LETTERS FROM THE GREAT WAR

LETTERS FROM THE GREAT WAR
Fitzsimons to Goldsborough
6 June 1919
“All the terrible scars of war have been
camouflaged by nature. The shell
holes and trenches are ablaze with
poppies and other coloured flowers.”

The document provides a brief history of the Polish Saturday School in Northampton, England, which has operated for 60 years to teach Polish culture, language, and customs to the children of Polish immigrants. It began in the late 19th century when Polish nuns came to England at the invitation of the Archbishop of Westminster to support the large Polish immigrant population. The school has partnered with several Polish and English organizations over the years and has received awards for its work teaching Polish heritage to children in the community.

Associated events include an exhibition opening performance and dance workshop.

Andrew Hobbs

This document discusses the blurred lines between amateur and professional writers and activists and journalists in Victorian local newspapers. It provides examples of the types of content written, from news to essays to poetry. The writers included full-time paid journalists, part-time local correspondents, unpaid contributors, letter writers, experts, and activists. The publications ranged from typical local papers to those composed entirely of content from readers or paid writers.

The archers revision1

MsJMcLeod

The Archers is a long-running BBC radio soap opera set in the fictional rural village of Ambridge. It follows the conventions of the soap opera genre with multiple concurrent storylines focused on family and community relationships. The Archers has been broadcast since 1951, making it the world's longest-running soap opera. It was originally intended to educate farmers but now attracts a primarily middle-aged, middle-class female audience with its nostalgic portrayal of traditional English rural life.

The Victorian Age C. Dickens

Raffaele Nardella

The document discusses Charles Dickens and his novel Hard Times. It provides biographical details about Dickens' life and works. It then summarizes that Hard Times was published in installments and increased the sales of the magazine it was serialized in. The summary describes that Hard Times is set in the industrialized north of England and critiques industrial society, materialism, and capitalism. It lists the setting as Coketown and some of the main characters as Thomas Gradgrind, Louisa and Tom Gradgrind, and Mr. Bounderby.

Friend's day

salomejoao

The document provides background information on Valentine's Day traditions in Portugal and the origins of Saint Valentine. It discusses how the Catholic Church sought to Christianize existing Roman fertility festivals by associating them with Saint Valentine. The festival of Lupercalia involved young people drawing names to pair up with a companion for the festival, sometimes resulting in marriage. Valentine secretly conducted marriages against the orders of Emperor Claudius and was imprisoned and executed for his actions. The exchanging of love messages on Valentine's Day is traced back to a message Valentine left for his jailer's daughter. The document also describes the tradition of embroidered scarves in Viana do Castelo given by women to their lovers.

Charles dickenes overview

catron44

Charles Dickens was a famous 19th century English novelist and social critic. He is renowned for writing many classic novels such as Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, and A Tale of Two Cities that are still popular today. Dickens lived from 1812 to 1879, was born in England and lived most of his life there, though he traveled occasionally. Through his novels, he shed light on social issues like poverty and became one of the most popular English writers of his time.

This document summarizes the history of the Junior League of Kansas City, Missouri from 1914 to 1932 through various community projects and theatrical productions. It describes how the organization started and evolved from providing charitable funds to taking a more hands-on role in social services through partnerships with organizations like the Florence Crittenton Home. A major focus was producing annual theatrical performances called the Junior League Follies to raise funds and awareness for local causes. These elaborate productions became highly anticipated social events through the 1920s. The document celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Junior League by honoring its legacy of community engagement and leadership through volunteerism.

Heather morrow blackpool world heritage sit bid - pr journey

Marketing Lancashire

The document summarizes media coverage of Blackpool's bid to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site between 2006 and 2010. It shows that initial coverage in 2006 was mostly negative, with 79% saying Blackpool was too "tacky" to be a heritage site. However, by 2010 coverage became more positive, with national newspapers like The Guardian and Daily Star publishing favorable articles. The document attributes the improved coverage to advocacy events, cultivating media relationships, promoting Blackpool's heritage, and getting local communities more involved in the bid. It outlines next steps like continuing community engagement and capitalizing on developments to further promote the case for World Heritage status.

Magazine history timeline

RowanEmily95

Magazines have existed since the late 16th century, starting as fashion publications and expanding to general interest topics over time. Major developments include the first modern general interest magazine in 1731, advances in printing technologies like lithography in the 19th century enabling higher quality images, and the emergence of specialized magazines in various genres in the 20th century. Modern magazines also benefited from innovations like halftone printing in the 1870s and cheaper wood pulp paper in the late 19th century, allowing for mass publication.

Christine de Pisan was an Italian author born around 1364 who lived in Venice, Paris, and Poissy. She wrote poems, narratives on chivalry and courtly love. Through her writings, she impressed influential figures and became an important spokesperson for women's rights. Her works provided insights into the lives of medieval women, who lacked education and rights while men held power. After her father, husband, and mother died, she turned to writing to support her family and overcame barriers faced as a female author through her success and works advocating for women's perspectives.

The Scholar, Shakespeare's First Folio and "The generous, and gravest Citizens"

Pip Willcox

The document discusses the history of Shakespeare's First Folio at the Bodleian Library in Oxford. It describes how the First Folio arrived at the Bodleian in the 17th century and was considered unimportant until it went missing in the late 17th/early 18th century. The Folio unexpectedly returned in 1905 and the Bodleian launched a fundraising campaign to purchase it, raising over £3,000 from donations. In 2012-2014, the Bodleian digitized the Folio through the "Sprint for Shakespeare" campaign, raising over £50,000 to make it openly accessible online. The digitization project engaged international audiences and furthered the Bodleian's mission of supporting scholarship.

Determining the Bruges origin of some sculptures in the Gruuthusecollection: ...

Marjan Debaene

The Archeological Society of Bruges began collecting sculptures in 1865 to preserve artifacts from the medieval past. Their collection records sometimes provide limited provenance information like the name of a religious order or guild that can provide clues to an object's origin. Determining the origin of sculptures is challenging when no provenance is recorded or when historical sources have been destroyed by events like iconoclasm or wars. Researching related works and published books can also help establish if a sculpture originated from Bruges.
