Researching parent abuse : a critical review of the methods
Get PDF‘Parent abuse’ is the most under-researched form of family abuse and the research that exists is characterised by diverse and discrete methodological approaches which have produced somewhat inconsistent findings. This critical review examines these different research approaches and discusses the methodological challenges which they present. The review concludes by suggesting how research might develop to produce a more coherent and contextual methodology which does justice to the complexities of the topic

Unveiling Melodies in Shadows: An Analysis of Swedish Female Composer Amanda Maier’s Sonata for Violin and Piano in B Minor
Get PDFAmanda Maier (1853−1894), a pioneering Swedish violinist and composer of the late nineteenth century, holds a unique place in music history as the first-ever female music director in Sweden. Despite her significant achievements, her compositions have remained relatively unknown. Therefore, the document aims to illuminate Amanda Maier's violin works, focusing on investigating her violin sonata in terms of violin performance and pedagogy. Specifically, the study offers insights into the performance techniques employed and provides other pertinent pedagogical suggestions for each movement. The document features an introductory chapter and a review of the historical context of Maier's life and the violin sonata. Subsequent chapters shift the focus to performance practice and pedagogical suggestions with theoretical analysis. One distinctive feature of the study is the inclusion of practice exercises composed originally by the author, tailored specifically to the techniques found in the sonata. These exercises aid practitioners in incorporating Maier's violin sonata into their program. The study assists violinists in diversifying their performance and teaching literature. It seeks to inspire renewed appreciation for Amanda Maier's artistic legacy because it is important to recognize the remarkable contributions of women in the classical music industry, and Amanda Maier, an underrepresented composer, exemplifies this. The document not only contributes to music research but also enhances pedagogical practices, fostering a more inclusive and equitable environment for female composers in the classical music world
Madness, monks and mutiny: neo-Victorianism in the work of Victoria Holt
No full textDespite authoring almost thirty Victorian-set novels between 1960 and 1993, Victoria Holt (a pseudonym of Eleanor Hibbert) has received little critical attention. This article examines four of Holt’s novels and reveals key ways in which she ‘talks back’ to Victorian literature, specifically to Jane Eyre (1847), The Moonstone (1868), The Woman in White (1860) and ‘The Children’s Hour’ (1860). In particular, it investigates Holt’s neo-Victorian use of the asylum in her second novel, Kirkland Revels (1962), which highlights neo-Victorian anxieties about the use of the asylum to control women. In doing so, the article draws attention to the contemporary scandal of consigning unmarried, pregnant, yet sane women to Victorian-built asylums, exploring these socio-political anxieties in the context of the Victorian Lunacy Acts, the 1957 Percy Report and the 1959 Mental Health Act. Holt wrote for the mass market and, in examining her work, this article intervenes in the debate about what should, and should not, be included in the neo-Victorian ‘canon’
Belonging: natural histories of place, identity and home
No full textCanongate's synopsis:
"Reflecting on family, identity and nature, Belonging is a personal memoir about what it is to have and make a home. It is a love letter to nature, especially the northern landscapes of Scotland and the Scots pinewoods of Abernethy – home to standing dead trees known as snags, which support the overall health of the forest.
Belonging is a book about how we are held in thrall to elements of our past. It speaks to the importance of attention and reflection, and will encourage us all to look and observe and ask questions of ourselves.
Beautifully written and featuring Amanda Thomson’s artwork and photography throughout, it explores how place, language and family shape us and make us who we are."
Longlisted for the Highland Book Prize, 2023

Outstanding - ROBERT MACFARLANE
Amanda Thomson’s new book manages to carve out a distinctive niche for itself . . . This is a passionate book and infused with a sense of rootedness - STUART KELLY, The Scotsman
In recent years rural landscapes have turned into battlegrounds, and nature writing has become increasingly polemical. Belonging is a quiet book of questions in a genre full of answers, but it is all the more powerful and beautiful for this - PATRICK GALBRAITH, TLS
One of the best things I have read in ages . . . Quiet and beautiful and powerful - ALYS FOWLER
Thomson writes of the natural in a way I have yet to encounter before. There is no real hoo-haa, no flowery description of which to speak yet somehow, I came away with that ache inside me — that renewed obsession with the world that is only borne of a very particular kind of writing — poetic, loving, raw . . . Like no other - KERRI Ní DOCHARTAIGH, Caught by the River
In strikingly original takes on Scottish history, environmentalism, Black feminist theory, artmaking, list-making, memory, and memoir, Thomson crafts a cadence that is as wise as it is vitally alive. - MARGOT DOUAIHY, author of Scorched Grac
