No full textThe Role of Sports in the Formation of Personal Identities
No full textIt is appropriate to begin this brief introduction with an acknowledgement to Herbert Richardson of Edwin Mellen Press. The idea for the volume on ’Sport and Identity’ was Herbert’s, arising, as it did, during a pre-dinner conversation we had at the Film & History conference in Chicago in November 2008. I am sometimes wary about telling people that I am a professor within the relatively new academic domain of sport studies, as this usually leads to assumptions about a background in phsyiology (or a related scientific field) or, even when associated with the social sciences, pyschology. Given the subject matter of the conference that we were attending, such an assumption was not as likely as in other contexts, but I was nevertheless gratified by Herbert’s enthusiastic response to my declared professional interest in the social, cultural and historical study of sport. I cannot quite recall how the conversation developed, but do remember Herbert quickly putting forward the idea of a book on sport and identity; Herbert correctly recognising the topicality of identity as a theme within the social sciences and humanities and of sport as a subject matter to which considerations about identity are highly relevant

How many focus markers are there in Konkomba?
Full text linkThis article discusses the divergent status of the two particles lé and lá in the grammar of Konkomba, a Gur language (Niger-Congo) of the Gurma subgroup. While previous studies claim that both particles are focus markers, this author argues that only the particle lá should be analyzed as a pure pragmatic device. Distributional studies suggest that the use of particle lé, on the other hand, is only required under specific focus conditions, and primarily represents a syntactic device

The Life and Letters of William Sharp and "Fiona Macleod"
Full text link"William Sharp (1855-1905) conducted one of the most audacious literary deceptions of his or any time. Sharp was a Scottish poet, novelist, biographer and editor who in 1893 began to write critically and commercially successful books under the name Fiona Macleod. This was far more than just a pseudonym: he corresponded as Macleod, enlisting his sister to provide the handwriting and address, and for more than a decade ""Fiona Macleod"" duped not only the general public but such literary luminaries as William Butler Yeats and, in America, E. C. Stedman.
Sharp wrote ""I feel another self within me now more than ever; it is as if I were possessed by a spirit who must speak out"". This three-volume collection brings together Sharp’s own correspondence – a fascinating trove in its own right, by a Victorian man of letters who was on intimate terms with writers including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Walter Pater, and George Meredith – and the Fiona Macleod letters, which bring to life Sharp’s intriguing ""second self"".
With an introduction and detailed notes by William F. Halloran, this richly rewarding collection offers a wonderful insight into the literary landscape of the time, while also investigating a strange and underappreciated phenomenon of late-nineteenth-century English literature. It is essential for scholars of the period, and it is an illuminating read for anyone interested in authorship and identity.
