A consideration of the antiquarian and literary works of Joseph Strutt, with a transcript of a hitherto inedited manuscript novel
No full textPhDThe first part of this thesis considers Joseph Strutt's
life, and his place in antiquarian 8tudieo. Strutt (1749-
1802) was trained as an engraver. Some of his early
commissions introduced him to the illuminated, manuscripts of
the British Museum, and led to the serie8 of illustrated
volumes on antiquarian subjects which he published between
1773 and. 1778 (the Regal and. Ecclesiastical Antiquities, the
Manners and Customs, the Chronicle of England.). The next
fifteen. years were devoted to engraving and related work,
including an extens ively-researched biographical dictionary
of engravers: this aspect of Strutt's work is not covered by
the present study. In the 1790's, Strutt pubLished two more
work6 of antiquarian research, the Dress and Habits and the
ports and Pastimes. A number of literary works were
published posthuniously:two plays (Ancient Times and The Test
of Guilt); a mock-epic poem (The Bumpkins' Disaster); and. a
four-volume novel set in the fifteenth century (Queenhoo-wall).
A further prose work survives in manuscript. The literary
works are studied. in the second part of the thesis, and a
transcript is given of the unpublished maiuscript.
This study attempts to show how Strutt's interpretation
of the early periods of English history and literature helped
to form the pre-Romantic taste for the medieval. The plates
of his antiquarian works, taken almost exclusively from
manuscripts contemporary with the subjects described,
familiarised his audience with what had formerly been strange
to all but the specialist. His works of fiction are attempts
to do the same thing by literary means. Walter Scott was
employed. to edit the incomplete manuscript of Queenhoo-JTall:
be was encouraged by Strutt's example to take up his own
writing of historical fiction

A Spinster’s Tour in France, the States of Genoa, etc., during the Year 1827
No full textThe romantic novelist Elizabeth Strutt (1783–c.1863) was ideally suited to the task she set herself when, in 1827, she wrote A Spinster's Tour in France (1828). Although she herself was married, her experiences convinced her of the urgent need for a guidebook designed for the unaccompanied 'lady traveller'. Taking readers through every stage of a long and eventful journey from Southampton to Recco (near Genoa), Strutt combines poetic descriptions of picturesque landscapes with practical advice on lodgings, transport and social interaction. Of particular concern, claims Strutt, is the vulnerability of unchaperoned young women at the hands of 'zealous Roman Catholics' who might seek to convert a 'timid child' to their faith. Strutt's book provides an unusual perspective both on European customs and society, and on the mindset of the British travellers who witnessed them.

Growth in densely populated Asia: implications for primary product exporters
No full textEconomic growth and integration in Asia is rapidly increasing the global economic importance of the region. To the extent that this growth continues and is strongest in natural resource-poor Asian economies, it will add to global demand for imports of primary products, to the benefit of (especially nearby) resource-abundant countries. How will global production, consumption and trade patterns change by 2030 in the course of such economic developments and structural changes? We address this question using the GTAP model and Version 8.1 of the 2007 GTAP database, together with supplementary data from a range of sources, to support projections of the global economy from 2007 to 2030 under various scenarios. Factor endowments and real gross domestic product are assumed to grow at exogenous rates, and trade-related policies are kept unchanged to generate a core baseline, which is compared with an alternative slower growth scenario. We also consider the impact of several policy changes aimed at increasing China's agricultural self-sufficiency relative to the 2030 baseline. Policy implications for countries of the Asia-Pacific region are drawn out in the final section
Letter from Edward C. Strutt to Hagan
No full textHolograph letter from Edward C. [Strutt] of the Associazione della Stampa Estera, Rome, to Hagan, enclosing a list of nine questions for information about the situation in Ireland, to be used for about 700 American papers including the New York American. Assuring him that his contributions will not be changed 'because, if there is a thing that Englishmen love and respect, it is fair play'. The questions touch on the general opinions held on violence, reprisals, Ireland's situation compared to Armenia's; the Irish clergy's and the Vatican's attitude to the situation; Hagan's own impressions. Also asking whether it would 'not be preferable to accept England's offer of almost complete independence, thus avoiding unnecessary bloodshed and the perpetuation of race hatred?'

Tariff Rate Quotas and New Zealand’s Meat and Dairy Trade
Get PDFThe tariff rate quota (TRQ) system was formalised in the Uruguay Round with the aim of maintaining and improving market access for agricultural products. Under this system, a lower tariff rate is applied to imports up to the quota limit, with a higher (and often prohibitive) tariff rate levied on products imported beyond this quota. However, the success of the TRQ system has been limited, with dairy and meat products in particular still facing relatively high barriers to international trade. In this paper, we examine the impact of the TRQ system on New Zealand’s meat and dairy trade. We draw together theoretical and empirical insights and present preliminary findings arising from interviews with key stakeholders. In particular, we examine whether the TRQ system has achieved its objectives from the perspective of the dairy and meat sectors in New Zealand and we analyse problems that appear to exist with the system. We also examine implications of reform of the TRQ system, including lower in- and over-quota rates, increased quota limits and more transparent and efficient administration methods.Agribusiness, Agricultural and Food Policy, Crop Production/Industries, Environmental Economics and Policy, Farm Management, International Relations/Trade, Land Economics/Use, Livestock Production/Industries,
