Religious intellectuals : the poetic gravity of Emily Brontë and Christina Rossetti
Full text linkThis thesis examines the writing of Emily Brontë and Christina Rossetti in terms of its
expression of religious culture and belief. It is my argument that Brontë and Rossetti
experienced religion as intellectuals, questioning and exploring doctrine and dogma neither
as sentimental lady Christians nor dismissive, secular critics. I contend that by close
reading their poetry, the genre both women privileged as most appropriate for the
consideration of religious matters, the reader may trace the sermons and theological works
they read. Moreover, their writing, I suggest, evinces their intellectual response to
theological, ecclesiological and ecclesiastical developments that took place in the
nineteenth century. I thus label Brontë and Rossetti 'religious intellectuals,' a phrase
suggestive of their intense understanding of, rather than their mild acquaintance with,
religious debate. Many women writing within the nineteenth century found that religion
granted them a field within which to freely read and research, but were denied the
professional title of 'theologian.' Brontë and Rossetti are thus examples of a wider
phenomenon wherein women encountered religion like scholars, one disregarded by current
criticism unable as it is to categorize a female activity simultaneously religious and
intellectual. I use Brontë and Rossetti as examples of what I call the 'religious intellectual'
because they represent different sides of this classification. Where Brontë struggled away
from her Methodist background, serving as a cultural commentator on its enthusiastic
belief-system, Rossetti forged a scholarly identity as a late member of the High Church
Oxford Movement. Both poets, I contend, wrote about religion in order to signal their
intellectual ability. I conclude that Brontë's interest in Methodism and Rossetti's
fascination with Tractarianism reveals the poets to be both independent of family pressures
and false consciousness, and fully engaged with a subject central to their age

Applying Accessibility Tools to Address Urban and Transport Planning. The case of the Eurocity of Valenca-Tui and the Euroregion of Galicia-Norte de Portugal.
No full textThe book presents the outcomes of the COST Action TU1002 “Accessibility Instruments for Planning
Practice in Europe” Junior Researchers Network activities, focused on the Eurocity recently created by the
cities of Valença (PT) and Tui (ES), and more in general on the the Euroregion of Galicia-Norte de Portugal.
The main scientific achievements of the book were:
to address accessibility planning in this new Eurocity, taking into account the institutional and
operational aspects of planning of both municipalities and of both planning systems; the local and
the regional levels of trans-border interactions;
to apply the concepts of one or more accessibility tools in use in the COST Action to address one or
more planning problems that are in the current planning agenda of the Eurocity and of the
Euroregion:
o local accessibility to the health care system;
o local accessibility to the cultural and sports facilities network;
o local transit accessibility;
o regional/ transnational accessibility;
to plan the application of the methodologies developed and tested in the COST Action in this transborder,
multi-national planning context
[Letter] 1887 June 27 [to] [Dalziel Brothers] / W.M. Rossetti [William Michael Rossetti].
No full textSee another letter in the collection from Rossetti.Rossetti addresses questions about the arrangement of figures in a sketch of the burning of Shelley\u27s body. Rossetti was aiding Edward Trelawny\u27s publication of _Records of Shelley, Byron, and the Author_, contacting the Daziel Brothers on behalf of Trelawny to discuss the correction of a woodcut to be included in this publication. Edward Trelawny was one of the men present at the burning of Shelley\u27s body and claimed to have grabbed the heart from Shelley’s pyre (Rossetti composed a sonnet about this event). The Dalziel Brothers were popular nineteenth-century engravers and worked with Rossetti\u27s artist brother Dante Gabriel for some woodcuts. However, Dante did not approve of their renditions of his work and even wrote a poem about it. William Michael Rossetti was one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood which advocated a return to painting unromanticized truth. Rossetti edited the Brotherhood\u27s journal _Germ_ from 1850. His famous family included brother Dante Gabriel and sister Christina
'We can but spell a surface history': the biblical typology of Christina Rossetti
Full text linkMy research examines Christina Rossetti’s use of biblical typology in her articulation of individual and communal identity. The central concern of my thesis is with tracing the ways in which she bridges the gap between the two biblical covenants and her contemporary situation by a ceaseless interpretative movement between the discourses of the Old and New Testaments. After examining the basis for her typological modes of reading, I demonstrate the various ways in which they underpin her interpretations of Tractarian, Romantic, and Pre-Raphaelite writings as well as providing her with a framework with which to structure her own poetic sequences.
In my examination of the ways in which Rossetti engages with patristic and medieval theology and articulates identity through the cyclical dynamics of typology, I consider her writings alongside those of Isaac Williams, John Keble, John Henry Newman, and Edward Pusey and highlight the key part they play in reinforcing the Oxford Movement’s liturgical momentum. Focusing specifically on her poetic utilization of the ancient practice of chanting psalms and antiphons, her engagement with the musicality of the church service, and her depiction of the visual aspects of ritualism, I read her poetry in terms of the mystical journey towards God upon which, she suggests, each Christian embarks.
Applying to Rossetti’s poetry the method of typological analysis that she herself uses, I consider how the poems in her 1893 volume, Verses, can be understood to comment upon her earlier works and how her earlier poetry can be seen as an antecedent to her later works. Through this, I trace the development of her theology as it engages more directly with the hermeneutical principles encouraged by the Tractarians and offers a basis upon which the patristic concept of trinitarian personhood can be understood
