British women writers and the public sphere between the Wars: Winifred Holtby, Storm Jameson, Naomi Mitchison, and Rebecca West.
No full textPhDThis thesis examines how Winifred Holtby, Storm Jameson, Naomi Mitchison and
Rebecca West appropriated the political ideas of the interwar period into their fiction
and sought to transform abstract ideals into values with which to judge and improve
social life. For all four writers, this pursuit takes the form of showing the complex
relations between theory and practice as experienced by particular individuals. My
premise here is the idea that political ideals are based upon the moral principles used by
persons to guide their conduct in the pursuit of individual and collective happiness.
Chapter One discusses the socialist concepts of loyalty, equality and fraternity as
the values upon which the good society should be constructed and the self-appointed
role of writers as public intellectuals whose task was to counteract political apathy and
encourage the practice of active citizenship. Chapter Two examines Holtby's Eutychus
or the Future of the Pulpit, Jameson's No Time Like the Present and Rebecca West's
"The Strange Necessity" to demonstrate how literature was intended as a tool in the
defence against the atomisation effected by the impact of modern life on culture, and a
bulwark against the concomitant subjectivism which resulted from the extensive retreat
into private life. Chapters Three and Four examine the practice of politics itself, with
particular emphasis on the social bonds proposed to replace the instrumentality of
interpersonal relationships in capitalist societies. The texts examined are Mitchison's
We Have Been Warned, Holtby's South Riding, Jameson's In the Second Year and
Mirror in Darkness, as well as West's Harriet Hume. Chapter Five focuses on Jameson's
That Was Yesterday and West's The Thinking Reed and discusses the difficulties faced
by women unable to negotiate the boundaries between the domestic and the public
sphere of sociability as a result of the irreconciliability of self-determination and social
demands

Winifred Lamb: Aegean prehistorian and museum curator
No full textWinifred Lamb was a pioneering archaeologist in the Aegean and Anatolia. She studied classics at Newnham College, Cambridge, and subsequently served in naval intelligence alongside J. D. Beazley during the final stages of the First World War. As war drew to a close, Sydney Cockerell, Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, invited Lamb to be the honorary keeper of Greek antiquities. Over the next 40 years she created a prehistoric gallery, marking the university's contribution to excavations in the Aegean, and developed the museum's holdings of classical bronzes and Athenian figure-decorated pottery. Lamb formed a parallel career excavating in the Aegean. She was admitted as a student of the British School at Athens and served as assistant director on the Mycenae excavations under Alan Wace and Carl Blegen. After further work at Sparta and on prehistoric mounds in Macedonia, Lamb identified and excavated a major Bronze Age site at Thermi on Lesbos. She conducted a brief excavation on Chios before directing a major project at Kusura in Turkey. She was recruited for the Turkish language section of the BBC during the Second World War, and after the cessation of hostilities took an active part in the creation of the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara

The focussed life
No full textWhile receiving treatment for cancer, US author Winifred Gallagher noticed how much better she felt if she focussed on her family\u27s immediate needs, rather than her painful therapy. When she recovered, she began studying the neuroscience and psychology of attention. Her book, "Rapt: Attention and the Focussed Life" argues that if your life is the sum of what you focus on, the subjects of your focus can have a profound effect on your life. And in this age of distractions, her thesis seems especially important.
Winifred Gallagher has written several books on psychology, including "House Thinking", "Just the Way You Are", "Working on God" and "Spiritual Genius." Her work has appeared in publications including "The New York Times", "Rolling Stone" and "Atlantic Monthly".
