Art and the Rural Imagination
No full textArt and the Rural Imagination features writing by key academics and artists and explores how contemporary art can help to reimagine the rural as a site of contemporary thought and experience. It reflects on a diversity of issues, from post-pandemic landscapes to farming, tourism, sustainability, productivity, as well as issues of gender, sexuality and decolonisation. At the heart of the book is a concern with both people and place, as well as expanded engagement with animals and ecologies. The scope of the book is international with contributors detailing a wide range of rural experiences and concerns. The book is the outcome of a conference in 2020 titled Art and the Rural Imagination, and also features a selection of commissioned artworks that expand on the core themes of the main essays.

Review of SIGRID RIEUWERTS, ED. THE BALLAD REPERTOIRE OF ANNA GORDON, MRS BROWN OF FALKLAND Woodbridge: Boydell, 2011 pp. xiii + 339, isbn 978 1 89797 632 6
No full textThe ballad repertoire of Anna Gordon, later Mrs Brown of Falkland, has interested intellectuals, folklorists and music collectors since before 1783. This was approximately the date at which a scholar and enthusiast for Scottish music, William Tytler of Woodhouselee, requested of Anna Gordon’s father, professor Thomas Gordon, that the ballads she had learned as a child be written down for him. Tytler wanted to establish a continuous Scottish musical tradition independent of Italian or English influences, and the old ballads were an important link in his argument. In the years that followed, Anna Gordon – by now Mrs Anna Brown – was appealed to several more times by antiquarians interested in the old songs, and she and her husband wrote out many more of the ballads she had stored in her memory
The autonomic nervous system and chromaffin tissue: Neuroendocrine regulation of catecholamine secretion in non-mammalian vertebrates
No full textIf severe enough, periods of acute stress in animals may be associated with the release of
catecholamine hormones (noradrenaline and adrenaline) into the circulation; a response termed
the acute humoral adrenergic stress response. The release of catecholamines from the sites of
storage, the chromaffin cells, is under neuroendocrine control, the complexity of which appears
to increase through phylogeny. In the agnathans, the earliest branching vertebrates, the
chromaffin cells which are localised predominantly within the heart, lack neuronal innervation
and thus catecholamine secretion in these animals is initiated solely by humoral mechanisms. In
the more advanced teleost fish, the chromaffin cells are largely confined to the walls of the
posterior cardinal vein at the level of the head kidney where they are intermingled with the
steroidogenic interrenal cells. Catecholamine secretion from teleost chromaffin cells is regulated
by a host of cholinergic and non-cholinergic pathways that ensure sufficient redundancy and
flexibility in the secretion process to permit synchronized responses to a myriad of stressors.
The complexity of catecholamine secretion control mechanisms continues through the
amphibians, reptiles and birds although neural (cholinergic) regulation may become increasingly
important in birds. Discrete adrenal glands are present in the non-mammalian tetrapods but
unlike in mammals, there is no clear division of a steroidogenic cortex and a chromaffin cell
enriched medulla. However, in all groups, there is an obvious intermingling of chromaffin and
steroiodogenic cells. The association of the two cell types may be particularly important in the
amphibians and birds because like in mammals, the enzyme catalysing the methylation of
noradrenaline to adrenaline, PNMT, is under the control of the steroid, cortisol

The Famous Ballads of Anna Gordon, Mrs. Brown (Book Chapter)
No full textWhen one thinks of the Scottish enlightenment, one imagines men striding up the craggy peak adjoining Holyrood Park in Edinburgh, arguing and gesticulating, or reading one another‟s works by candle light, or sitting over whiskey or beer in largely male company. But there were, of course, women who participated in the intellectual ferment of that period. Among other things, women were an important part of the traditional song culture that interested Scottish intellectuals as the antiquarian remains of a precious national culture. Indeed, as Burns and Scott knew, women were often crucial in transmitting and preserving this stream of Scotland‟s literary history. Thus while learned written and printed investigations were pouring forth from the four universities of Scotland, with reverberations all over the western world, Scottish scholars and philosophers were eagerly collecting and sharing whatever records they could find of a traditional culture that was essentially oral and popular and carried forward largely by working people and occasionally by their own mothers and aunts. This is the story of the most famous of these women, Anna Gordon, whose repertoire of ballads was the first ever to be tapped and written down by antiquarians and literary scholars, at a time when scholars feared that the oral tradition was in danger of disappearing forever
Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director
