William Morris and Edward Carpenter: back to the land and the simple life, 1880-1910
No full textThis thesis focuses on the influence of William Morris and Edward Carpenter on
aspects of the back-to-the-land and simple-life movements between the years 1880-
1910. Specifically, it seeks to define and explore the convergence and divergence of
both writers' return-to-nature ideology, and considers their influence on the
development of particular groups, who represented some of the multiplicity of backto-
the-land ideas and experiments current during this period. The thesis is divided
into three main parts; the intellectual framework for the study is broad, and takes into
account the historical context, the cultural significance and the character of the
material in each section.
The first part of the thesis undertakes an expository evaluation of key texts
from Morris's and Carpenter's political journalism, lectures and imaginative writing,
examining how both writers developed an appropriate language to convey their
social and political ideals. The critical method employed uses detailed textual
analysis, identifying and discussing the individual qualities of Morris's and
Carpenter's back-to-the-land writing, and reflecting on the differing emphases of
their utopian rhetoric. The second part of the research explores the take-up of
Morris's and Carpenter's ethos in four diverse and little known late-nineteenthcentury
journals, concerned with simple-life issues and a return to the land, namely
Seed-time, The New Order, Land and Labor and Land and People. It employs the
thinking of Pierre Bourdieu and Mikhail Bakhtin to establish an appropriate balance
between critical theory and empirical study. Lastly using a historical and descriptive
method the thesis uses archival material to examine the nature and extent of both
writers' influence on two Cotswold back-to-the-land experiments - the Whiteway
Colony and the Chipping Campden Guild of Handicraft. These provide a particular
opportunity to consider and compare the practical outcomes of return-to-the-land and
simple-life ideologies.
The study extends scholarship in this area by significantly re-appraising the
relationship between Morris's and Carpenter's back-to-the-land writing, and reinstating
Carpenter as a germinal influence. It also increases our understanding of the
values and function of the journals in the study, and establishes an insight into the
wider cultural assimilation of both writers' ideals

Predicting the Behaviour of Near-Critical and Supercritical Alcohols at Microwave Frequencies: Validation of Molecular Dynamic Simulations as a Tool that can Substitute for Measurements under Extreme Experimental Conditions
No full textEquilibrium and non-equilibrium molecular dynamic simulations, predicting the dielectric properties of near-critical and supercritical methanol and ethanol at microwave frequencies have been carried out. The autocorrelation functions of the dielectric relaxation, show dependency on the slow component at the near-critical region for both alcohols. At the supercritical region, two competing relaxation mechanisms are observed, related to the large breakdown of the hydrogen-bonding network and the degree of clustering between the molecules. This approach closely matches experimental data at microwave frequencies and identical temperature and pressure conditions, validating the predictions of how the molecular structure and dynamics manifest themselves into the complex permittivity and dielectric relaxation behaviour. Thus, introducing a modelling-based solution to deliver accurate dielectric property values for materials at supercritical conditions for “a priori” screening of solvents, whilst removing the need to overcome engineering and safety challenges associated with the development of experimental equipment to practically generate such data
