Interview with Gerald P. (Gerry) Doyle, 1980.
No full textUniversity of Texas Institute of Texan Cultures at San Antonio., San Antonio, Texas
A job as director of publications at Texas’ San Jacinto Museum of History led Gerry Doyle to appreciate the craft of handwriting and its “Sunday writing” version, calligraphy. A student of the universal history of handwriting, Doyle identifies Spanish scripts in documents left from Texas’ colonial era to support his view that it is “as pleasurable to see words written beautifully as it is to hear them spoken beautifully.

Modern Lithium Carbenoid Chemistry (Chapter 11)
No full textThis chapter addresses the reactivity of a-lithiated organohalogens, ethers, and amines. Special emphasis is placed on their structure, configurational stability, and applications to synthetic chemistry in light of the recent advances that have appeared in the literature over the past decade. The chapter highlights the role played by aggregation and solvation on the structure-reactivity relationship. The characteristic features of a-lithiated halogens (Li/Hal) and a-lithiated ethers (Li/OR) carbenoids are discussed. These include: (i) the electrophilic reactivity, as observed in reactions with nucleophiles; (ii) the deshielding of the C atom in the NMR spectrum; and (iii) the C-X bond length in the corresponding solid state structures. The chapter concludes with a discussion on lithium-nitrogen carbenoids
Hannah Doyle
No full textDate:1857Hannah McKinna, domestic, is listed as arriving into Adelaide on the immigrant ship Rodney from London on 8 December 1877. Hannah married Cornelius Doyle on 13 November 1879 in Adelaide. The 1891 census of the Northern Territory listed both Hannah and her husband Cornelius, Hannah listing her birthplace as Ireland. Cornelius worked for South Australian Railways, undertaking a position of Railway District Inspector. Hannah and Cornelius had two surviving children in the Northern Territory ? Kathleen Francis born 29 June 1893 and Bartha Augustine born 2 September 1895. In 1895 when Hannah was 38, she was one of the 82 women who enrolled to vote after the franchise was granted to South Australian and Territory women in 1894. Her occupation was listed as "matron", although it is unclear if her profession was nursing, or if this position referred to her marital status. Hannah was taken off the Roll in the 1898 revision because the family left Palmerston to return to South Australia.Pionee
Twelve Novels by Arthur Conan Doyle (TXM corpus)
No full text<p>This is a sample dataset of twelve novels written by Arthur Conan Doyle (all in the public domain). The novels have been prepared for use with the TXM text analysis software, including lemmatisation and part-of-speech tagging using TreeTagger. The collection contains twelve novels belonging to different subgenres: detective fiction (Sherlock Holmes novels), adventure novels, historical novels, horror novels and other novels. See the metadata file (metadata.csv) for details. The corpus file (doyle.txm) is a binary format that can be directly loaded into TXM (see http://textometrie.ens-lyon.fr/).</p>
The relationship between Ford, Kipling, Conan Doyle, Wells and British propaganda of the First World War
No full textPhDThis thesis resituates the war-writing of Ford Madox Ford, Rudyard Kipling, Arthur
Conan Doyle and H.G. Wells in relation to official British propaganda
produced during the First World War. Examining these authors' institutional
connections with propaganda that was authorised by the British government locates
some of their texts within a network of materials that were deployed to justify
Britain's involvenlent in the war. The British government, via the War Propaganda
Bureau, approached major literary figures to assist in its plan to compete
vigorously with Germany to win American support. Positioning Ford's condemnation
of Prussian culture within this institutional context reveals that his officially
commissioned books functioned as a part of the larger yet-covert government
project to influence American intellectual opinion. Although wary that Kipling's
chauvinism might offend some readers, the British government reprinted and
distributed his denunciations of the 'Hun'. Kipling was given access to censored
letters from Indian soldiers in order to assist him in depicting the Imperial forces as
united. The result, The Eyes of Asia (1918), was a set of fictional texts by Indian
soldiers celebrating French and English civilisation in contrast to German barbarism.
In addition to official propaganda, these authors produced pro-war stories, poems, and
articles independent of direct government commission. Conan Doyle's formal call for
men to volunteer to defend their country, and his public denunciations of German
atrocities, were followed by his recruitment of Sherlock Holmes to repel a possible
German invasion ("His Last Bow" (1917)). Adding to his support for the war in his
journalism and war-time fiction, Wells was appointed the Head of Enemy Propaganda
for the newly formed Ministry of Information. He resigned almost immediately
following disagreements over government strategy. This project situates historically
and examines critically these authors' differing roles in relation to British propaganda
efforts during the First World War
"Through the windows of a Baptist Meeting House": Religion, politics and the Nonconformist Conscience in the life of Sir George White, M.P.
No full textWith the compilation of the New Dictionary of National Biography, under the
general editorship of Colin Matthew, the contributions of many more of the Free
Church men and women who helped shape nineteenth and twentieth-century Britain
will be acknowledged. Among the debutants in the revised canon of great Britons
will be Sir George White MP, 1 the man described by the British Weekly as the
'foremost lay leader of English Nonconformity in our generation' ,2 yet a politician
largely ignored by historians of Edwardian Britain.3 This is a significant oversight,
for White featured prominently in Free-Church politics in the early twentieth
century, chairing the Nonconformist Committee in the House of Commons and
acting as a bridge between old-style dissenting Radicalism and the new(er)
Liberalism of practical politicians like Lloyd George.4 Although 'plain and modest'
with 'no pretentions to brilliance', White reached the top in business, politics and
the Baptist denomination through the classic Victorian virtues of hard work,
dedication and devotion,S his success resting, in part, on his power as a speaker
with 'the enviable faculty granted to the best speakers of saying, and thinking clearly
and strongly while he is on his feet,.6 This paper, which is based primarily on
press reports of his life and death, will outline White's achievements in religion,
business and politics, illustrating the way these elements interacted, and looking, in
particular, at the three areas in which religion most obviously influenced his political
views: class relations, education and temperance
