Isabella Jane Kell
No full textDate:1852-04Isabella Jane was born on 1 April 1852 to Ann and George Birkett in Liverpool, Lancashire, six years earlier than sister, Annie (later to become Annie Holtze). Isabella married William Rattray, a merchant mariner, on 19 August 1877. They married at sea on the Angola. Isabella was 25 and her husband 31 when they married. Isabella and William had a son, George Stanley Birkett Rattray, born 5 June 1878 in Liverpool. Isabella worked as a nurse at the Adelaide Hospital before she was transferred to Burra. Isabella arrived in Palmerston on 1 December 1888 to take over the position of Matron at the Palmerston Hospital from Jane Meissner. The hospital had no laundry, operating theatre or proper kitchen; all the while servicing 130 people a year. Matron Birkett had to seek permission from the Government Resident G L Parsons to employ a washerwoman in 1889. Her time at the hospital was not without controversy the Hospital Board was subject to an inquiry because a leper patient was nursed there and the Government Medical Officer had not been told. Known as the ?Marcus Baker Case', Isabella Birkett gave evidence. This case resulted in The Leprosy Ordinance of the Northern Territory. From nursing the leper patient the staff learned much about the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. After six years Matron Birkett was replace by Matron Freda Reinhardt who had arrived from Adelaide in February 1892. In 1893 Isabella's son George and her sister Margaret arrived in Adelaide on 19 November 1893 on the ?Gulf of Venice' from Liverpool and later joined her in Palmerston. Isabella left her position as matron to marry Walter Kell at Palmerston on Monday 8 January 1894. The couple left for Burrundie the morning after the wedding, where Walter had been gazetted as the Post and Telegraph Master at the Burrundie Overland Telegraph Station. In 1895, when Isabella was 43, she was one of the 82 women who enrolled to vote after the franchise was granted to South Australian and Territory women in 1894. She registered at Burrundie and her occupation was listed as 'married woman'. In 1896, Walter was Stationmaster at Powell's Creek where he was also appointed Inspector of Stock from 1900. The couple was removed from the Powell's Creek Roll on 20 December 1905 because they left the district for Wallaroo in South Australia. Walter died suddenly at home on 3 November 1919 aged 58. Isabella died at home in Wallaroo aged 74 in 1926. The couple are buried together in Wallaroo Cemetery.NurseEnglis
Isabella Mary Norcock
No full textDate:1824Isabella was born in India where her father, Major John Jenkins of the 11th Hussars, was stationed. The family returned to England where her father died in Brighton of a 'concussion of the brain' in December 1840, leaving behind a son and four daughters. In 1843, at 19, Isabella married George Lowcay Norcock of the Royal Navy in Plymouth, Devon. In 1845 they had their daughter, Mary, followed by son George William Henry in 1854. In 1869 George died, leaving Isabella a widow. She was in receipt of a pension from 'the Imperial Government' up to the time of her death. In 1872, Isabella's son arrived in Sydney as a midshipman on the Dunbar Castle. By 1879 George, still a mariner, was living in Palmerston, Northern Territory. He married Harriet Bridgeman in 1880. In 1891 George was appointed Deputy Gaoler at Palmerston. He eventually gained the title Keeper H.M. Gaol. It was during this time that Isabella came to Australia to live with her son at Fannie Bay. In 1895, she was one of the 82 Territory women who enrolled to vote after the franchise was granted to South Australian and Territory women in 1894. Isabella, George and his family sailed out of Palmerston on 12 July 1904 on board the steamer Australian, bound for Adelaide, where George took up the post of Governor at H.M. Gaol Adelaide. Isabella died at 84 while residing at the Adelaide Gaol with her son. She was remembered as 'a lady to her fingertips ? one of the old-fashioned type ? and there were many in the Territory who will retain kindly memories of her gentle quaint old-time courtesy of manner'.Englis
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

The regime of Isabella and Mortimer 1326 - 1330
Full text linkThe rule of the Despensers was brought to an end in 1326 by a coalition of magnates, churchmen and Londoners, drawn together by the invasion of Isabella and Mortimer. A carefully orchestrated demand for the removal of Edward II led to his deposition and ultimately to his murder at Mortimer's direction. Power was centralised in the hands of Isabella and Mortimer who took no steps to broaden the basis of their government. While returning confiscated lands to their supporters, they offered them little else in the way of reward but accumulated land to their own use, Crown land in the case of Isabella and an empire on the Welsh March in the case of Mortimer. Disillusioned by this and by their exclusion from government, the constituent parts of the coalition fell apart. Active opposition which had begun in Edward II's lifetime culminated in Lancaster's abortive rebellion of 1328-29. The effective suppression of this meant that opposition was stifled by the imposition of recognisances and because several barons fled abroad. This success merely served to increase Mortimer's arrogance and in 1330 he successfully engineered the downfall of Edward III's uncle, the earl of Kent. In foreign affairs, the failure of the Weardale campaign against the Scots and the unpopular peace of Northampton, coupled with a temporising and indecisive policy towards France over the questions of Gascony and homage, increased hostility towards the government. At home violent unrest continued and an improvident and irresponsible attitude to national finance involved heavy borrowing at a time when Mortimer lived in extravagant state. Faced by this misgovernment and fearing that Mortimer now aimed at royal power, Edward III built his own supporting group around him. When the opportunity came he struck swiftly at Mortimer, sending him to execution and Isabella into retirement

17 gennaio 1515: Aurelio Serena e gli ozi alla villa della Magliana di Isabella d’Este
No full textL’inedito lungo componimento poetico dell’umanista monopolitano Aurelio Serena, tràdito dal ms 7.1.19 della Biblioteca Capitular y Colombina di Siviglia e dedicato alla villa papale della Magliana, fu composto nei primi mesi del 1515 in occasione del viaggio a Roma della Marchesa di Mantova Isabella d’Este e sottoposto a lunga e
forse non definitiva revisione. Al di là dei topici e ricorrenti elogi del papa, Leone X, di
Roma e della stessa villa, elaborati questi ultimi anche sulla scorta di codificate formule albertiane, sono da rilevare alcuni aspetti di particolare interesse e rilievo: la descrizione di un ciclo pittorico presente nella villa e finora non tramandato da altre fonti, che fu voluto da Giulio II e che celebrava i successi militari del pontefice; l’attenta e puntuale descrizione delle varie fasi dello svolgimento delle cacce papali nella campagna romana; il protagonismo di Isabella d’Este che col suo discorso pronunciato al termine della battuta di caccia di fronte a Leone X e alla presenza dei più alti prelati del Sacro Collegio occupa una buona metà del testo: anche in questo caso l’episodio non è documentato da altre testimonianze coeve ed era finora ignoto. Importante altresì l’impostazione dell’orazione della Marchesana, che tocca argomenti cruciali di politica interna ed estera, quasi a voler fornire un dettagliato programma operativo a Giovanni de’ Medici da pochissimo assurto al pontificato: dagli interventi urbanistici su Roma, riguardanti il recupero conservativo delle
antiche rovine e l’edilizia residenziale, al tema della crociata e dei rapporti tra gli Stati
regionali italiani, alla spinosa e quanto mai attuale liceità del duello e dello iustum bellum. Si rinvia ad altra sede una più particolareggiata disamina dello scritto del Serena e soprattutto dell’intervento di Isabella, che offre a più livelli molteplici spunti di riflessione.The long, unpublished poetic work of a humanist from Monopoli, Aurelio Serena, preserved in the manuscript 7.1.19 of the Biblioteca Capitular y Colombina of Seville, and concerning the papal Villa of the Magliana, was composed in the first months of 1515 on the occasion of the trip to Rome of Isabella d’Este, Marchesa di Mantova, and subjected to a long and perhaps not definitive revision. Aside from the
recurrent praises of the pope, Leo X, and of Rome and the villa itself (the latter elaborated according to established Albertian conventions), some aspects of particular interest and significance are worth pointing out: the description of the pictorial cycle in the villa, not previously mentioned by other sources, which was commissioned by Julius II and celebrated his military successes; the careful and precise description of the various phases of the papal hunts in the Roman campagna; and the leading role of Isabella d’Este, whose speech, delivered at the end of the hunt before Leo X and the most important prelates of the Sacro Collegio, occupies a good half of the text (another episode not previously documented in other contemporary sources and until now ignored). Also important is the way the Marchesana’s oration is set out, touching upon crucial issues of domestic and foreign
affairs, as if intended to furnish Giovanni de’ Medici, just recently elected pope, with a detailed and operative program: from urban interventions in Rome, regarding the recovery and conservation of ancient ruins and residential housing, to the theme of the crusade and relations among the regional Italian states, and the thorny and very timely questions of the lawfulness of the duel and of bellum iustum (just war). A more detailed examination of Serena’s text and especially of Isabella’s contributions, which offers food for thought on multiple levels, is currently in progres
