The Eating Disorder Voice with Sarah Roberts and Phoebe Dale
No full textSarah Roberts and Phoebe Dale are trainee clinical psychologists completing their Doctorate of Clinical Psychology at Lancaster University. Sarah and Phoebe's area of research is around the "eating disorder voice" - that critical inner voice particular to eating disorders and often missed by eating disorder support services in favour of traditional "weight restoring" methods. It has only recently, in the last decade, even been considered as valid. Sarah and Phoebe want this to change and for the eating disorder voice to be heard, listened to and expressed creatively, be it a story, a song or a picture and to play a key part in the recovery of anyone suffering with eating disorders/behaviours. We think this episode is particularly helpful if you are a young person suffering with an ED or for a parent or carer of someone with an ED. Get involved with their research because it's important and valid

Diary of B. H. Roberts, 1886 - 1887
No full textDiary covers December 1886; April 1887; and August 1887. Original is leather-bound with black cover, 4 inches by 6 3/4 inches. Covers period from 5 December 1886 intermittently to 8 August 1887, with some undated entries. Roberts begins this journal with a description of his arrest on 5 December for "\u27unlawful cohabitation\u27 with Sarah L. Roberts & Celia Dibble." However, his explanation ends in mid-sentence. There are a number of blank pages, then a few brief comments on Roberts\u27s first visit to London in 1887. Skipping a few more pages, he begins a description of travels around England between 2 and 5 April. On the fifth he visited the former home of the poet Lord Byron, and writes a description complete with quotes from the poet. These entries are badly water stained but still legible. Roberts leaves more blank pages and begins with an entry dated "Aug. 30th 1887," which is probably July, as the following entries date from the first to the eighth of August. This portion of the journal describes Roberts\u27s trip across Scotland. The journal entries end on 8 August 1887 with his return to Liverpool. Tucked into the entry for 3 August are four pages from a small notebook labeled "The Scripture Testimony to the Christ: Especially the Testimony of St. John." Following the journal entries are pages of personal accounts, inscriptions from grave stones, remarks about the roles of women and men, notes on books, and poetry. On the last page of the volume under a pasted-in poem is the note: "Married Lena 23 Jan. 1884 Wednesday Ets. She is 23/3d Aug \u2787." His "temple records" show his marriage to Celia Dibble, whom he called Lena, on 4 October 1884. Celia\u27s birthday is recorded as 3 August 186

The 'true use of reading' : Sarah Fielding and mid eighteenth-century literary strategies.
No full textPhDThe aim of this thesis is to explore, by examining her life and
works, how Sarah Fielding (1710-68) established her identity as an author.
The definition of her role involves her notions of the functions of
writing and reading.
Sarah Fielding attempts to invite readers to form a sense of ties
by tacit understanding of her messages. As she believes that a work
of literature is produced through collaboration between the writer and
the reader, it is an important task in her view to show her attentiveness
toward reading practice. In her consideration of reading, she has two
distinct, even opposite views of her audience: on the one hand a familiar
and limited circle of readers with shared moral and cultural values and
on the other potential readers among the unknown mass of people. The
dual targets direct her to devise various strategies. She tries to
appeal to those who can endorse and appreciate her moral values as well
as her learning. Her writings and letters testify that she is sensitive
to the demands of the literary market, trying to lead the taste of readers
by inventing new forms.
The thesis opens with an overview of Sarah Fielding's career,
followed by a consideration of her critical attention to the roles of
reading. I go on to examine the narrative structures and strategies
she deploys, with a particular emphasis on her use of the epistolary
method. The following chapter deals with her attention to the reading
of the moral message tangibly embodied in her educational writing. It
is followed by an analysis of the activity which earned her a reputation
as a learned woman. Various as the forms of her works are, they invariably
reflect her attempt to balance herself between the two demands of
inventiveness and familiarity
