The nomenclatural history of Fritillaria eduardii and the correct names of its varieties
No full textMaterial of a new fritillary was mentioned in four publications by Eduard Regel in 1884, but he used different names for this material. In the first publication it was named Fritillaria eduardii, but in the following publications the material was described as two varieties of F. imperialis L., both odourless, one with purplish flowers and one with yellow or yellow-red flowers. Both colour varieties, but especially the latter, have been taken into cultivation. Morphological observations and crossing experiments have established that both varieties do not belong to F. imperialis and should be accommodated in F. eduardii. New names for these varieties are proposed, following E. Regel's intention as closely as possibl
The history of written language disorders: reexamining Pitres’ case (1884) of pure agraphia
No full textThe first clinical description of pure agraphia was reported by the French neurologist Pitres in 1884. Pitres used the case study evidence to argue for modality-specific memory representations and the localization of writing. This article reviews Pitres’s contribution to the study of acquired writing disorders, the components of writing models and the cerebral localization which subserve writing, in light of the views entertained by his contemporaries and current authors. Although numerous cases have been reported throughout this century, the view that writing can be impaired while other language functions and motor activities remain intact is still challenged

Critical and popular reaction to Ibsen in England, 1872-1906
Get PDFThis study of Ibsen in England is divided into three sections. The
first section chronicles Ibsen-related events between 1872, when his
work was first introduced to a Briton, and 1888, when growing interest
in the 'higher drama' culminated in a truly popular edition of three of
Ibsen's plays. During these early years, knowledge about and
appreciation of Ibsen's work was limited to a fairly small number of
intellectuals and critics. A matinee performance in 1880 attracted
praise, but successive productions were bowdlerized adaptations. Until
1889, when the British professional premiere of A Doll's House set all
of London talking, the lack of interest among actors and producers
placed the responsibility for eliciting interest in Ibsen on
translators, lecturers, and essayists. The controversy initiated by
A Doll's House was intensified in 1891, the so-called Ibsen Year, when
six productions, numerous new translations, debates, lectures,
published and acted parodies, and countless articles considered the
value and desirability of Ibsen's startling modern plays. The central
section of this study is concerned solely with the year 1891, and
considers in detail the forums for debate; Ibsenite and non-Ibsenite
partisans, activity, and opinion; and audience and popular reaction. In
addition to prompting discussion about social issues, Ibsen's plays
also challenged the censorship system, the actor-mangers' cartel, and
the stock-in-trade decorous well-made play. In the 1890s, when Ibsen's
themes and style changed, it became apparent that popular and critical
taste had absorbed the lessons of plays like Ghosts and Hedda Gabler,
and that their comparatively conventional structures and recognizable
systems of signification were greatly preferred to the symbolic
poeticism of plays like The Master Builder and When We Dead Awaken.
Most of the later plays were relegated to independent producing
societies whose technical and financial resources could not possibly
provide suitable scenery or adequate rehearsal, while some of the
greatest actors of the day accrued kudos in the earlier polemical
plays. By the turn of the century, the Ibsenite impulse had
diminished, and his erstwhile champions either promoted a false Ibsen
Legend or morosely conceded defeat by a theatre where musical comedy
and burlesque flourished. The final section of this study describes
the aftermath of the Ibsen Year, and activity in the years leading up
to the dramatist's death. General discussion of production style,
acting technique, and the modernist movement as a whole are also
included in the final chapter.
One objective of this research has been to identify and analyze
the whole spectrum of response, among as many types of readers,
playgoers, and commentators as possible. To this end, a great variety
of Victorian periodicals have been consulted, and columns of theatrical
gossip, leading articles, interviews, and letters to editors have been
sought to supplement the reviews, learned essays, and feuilletons by
theatrical journalists and professional critics. Personal accounts in
diaries, letters, and autobiographies have also been sought to provide
indications of popular interest and opinion, and of Ibsen's place in
the avant garde and mainstream theatre
