''Unjustly neglected': reclaiming Victoria Holt as a pioneer of Neo-Victorian fiction
No full textVictoria Holt (a pseudonym of Eleanor Hibbert (1906-1993)), has received very little critical attention and she is not yet accepted as a neo-Victorian author. In order to reclaim her, this thesis investigates her work as a neo-Victorian response to the Victorian era. In addition, it uses her novels to ‘talk back’ to current neo-Victorian criticism. Employing a variety of critical lenses to reflect the varied genres embedded in sensation fiction, the thesis examines Holt’s novels as historical, Gothic, crime and romance fiction in conjunction with analysing them as neo-Victorian sensation fiction. By using selected novels as case studies, it reveals their influential innovations in these genres. Holt’s intertextual use of Victorian fiction also co-articulates matters of socio-political concern, particularly issues relating to the position of women. Examined in the context of second wave feminism and late twentieth-century legislation, her work shows an unrecognised politicised slant which the thesis uses to problematise the perception of her as an author of ‘popular’ fiction.
Holt’s work is especially impactful in relation to the neo-Victorian canon, which is still developing. There is a currently unrecognised convergence between her novels and established neo-Victorian texts including Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea (1966), John Fowles’s The French Lieutenant’s Woman (1969), Beryl Bainbridge’s Master Georgie (1998) and Sarah Waters’s Fingersmith (2002). Reclaiming Holt as an author of neo-Victorian sensation fiction, the thesis contributes to knowledge surrounding the early development of neo-Victorianism, expands the neo-Victorian canon and restores justice to a neglected but important author

Masky Rolanda Barthese v Prolukách Bohumila Hrabala: výklad přenosu a přenosy výkladu
No full textThe mention of Roland Barthes in a key passage of Bohumil Hrabal’s Proluky (Gaps) is read here as an index of a repetition and negotiation of the autobiographical, which should not be confused with holt meyer 89 the text itself being autobiographical, at least not with respect to its author (or the author’s wife, the nominal narrator of the text). Despite Jankovič’s insistence on not differentiating perspectives and collapsing all of the speech of the text into the voice of a ‘single narrator who integrates all [other] voices’, close reading of the passage mentioning Barthes — which is also the passage in which the biological father of Hrabal appears in the form of two representatives and a pack of photographs — makes it clear that exact differentiation of both voices and media is essential, and that Barthes’ studies of the voicing and temporality of the bourgeois novel must be brought to bear on this, while of course accounting for the irony of the post-Marxist entry into a neo-Stalinist setting. These are the conditions for a transferred and transferring Barthes reading of Hrabal’s texts of the 1980s (especially those deemed autobiographical) which has never been systematically and consequently thought through.Zmínka o Rolandu Barthesovi v jedné klíčové pasáži Hrabalových Proluk je zde čten jako index opakování a vyjednávání autobiografična (které nesmíme zaměňovat s autobiografičností samotného textu, alespoň ne ve vztahu k autorovi, resp. jeho ženě jakožto nominální vypravěčce). Jankovič sice odmítal odlišování jednotlivých perspektiv a zdůrazňoval, že se řeč textu hroutí do textu „jediného vypravěče, který v sobě spojuje všechny [ostatní] hlasy“, avšak pečlivé čtení pasáže obsahující zmínku o Barthesovi — v níž se též objevuje Hrabalův biologický otec ve dvou verzích a v podobě balíčku fotografií — prokáže relevanci přesného odlišení obou hlasů a médií, k čemuž nutno vztáhnout Barthesova zkoumání distribuce hlasoví a temporality v měšťanském románu, zároveň objasňující ironičnost postmarxistického vstupu do neostalinistické scenérie. Tak vypadají podmínky pro (zatím nikdy důsledně provedené) přenesené i přenášející barthesovské čtení Hrabalových textů z osmdesátých let, zvláště těch domněle autobiografických.598
Is human growth hormone an ergogenic aid?
No full textGrowth hormone (GH) was first isolated from the pituitary gland in the 1940s. It is believed that athletes have been abusing GH for its anabolic and lipolytic effects since the early 1980s, at least a decade before endocrinologists began to treat adults with GH deficiency. Most of our knowledge about GH abuse is anecdotal but a number of high-profile athletes have admitted using GH. Despite its widespread abuse, there is debate about whether GH is ergogenic. Indeed most scientific studies have not shown a performance enhancing effect. This review will address why this discrepancy of opinion between athletes and scientists exists and why the author believes that the scientists are wrong.<br/
Hamilton Holt (1925-1949)
No full textJournalist, social reformer, and educational innovator, Hamilton Holt left an indelible mark on Rollins College during his 24-year term as the eighth President of Rollins College. He brought with him a national reputation as editor of The Independent, a progressive weekly magazine, and a fervent advocate for peace, civil rights, and democratic ideals.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1872, Holt earned his undergraduate degree from Yale University in 1894 and pursued graduate study at Columbia University. In 1897, he joined The Independent, a publication founded by his grandfather, and rose to editor and owner by 1913. Under his leadership, the magazine merged with Harper’s Weekly and became a powerful voice for progressive causes. Holt used the platform to amplify the lives of ordinary Americans through a pioneering series of personal narratives that became known The Life Stories of Undistinguished Americans (1906). He was also a founding member of the NAACP and remained deeply committed to racial equality and international cooperation.
Holt’s influence extended globally. He participated in the 1907 Hague Peace Conference and the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, strongly supported the League of Nations, and was decorated by multiple foreign governments for his peace efforts. He ran for the U.S. Senate in 1924 as a Democrat but was defeated.
That same year, Holt accepted the presidency of Rollins College, recruited by trustee and author Irving Bacheller. Though lacking formal academic administration experience, Holt brought a bold educational vision rooted in student engagement and faculty mentorship. He implemented the “conference plan,” a student-centered approach emphasizing one-on-one dialogue over traditional lectures. This method limited class size, emphasized teaching over research, and sought to cultivate students\u27 intellectual and personal growth.
Holt elevated Rollins’ national profile by organizing the Rollins Educational Conference in 1931, which hosted philosopher John Dewey, and introducing innovative curricular reforms. He also founded the Animated Magazine, a live annual event that brought national thought leaders to campus. His tenure saw a dramatic expansion of campus life, including architectural shifts to a Spanish Mediterranean style – which dominates campus architecture still today -- and the establishment of enduring cultural organizations on campus like the radio station WPRK and the Rollins Theatre.
Though widely admired, Holt’s presidency was not without controversy. His dismissal of faculty member John Andrew Rice and others over pedagogical and ideological conflicts sparked national debate about academic freedom and contributed to the founding of Black Mountain College. Later, Holt’s progressive values were tested visibly on multiple occasions. In 1947 racial tensions in the local Central Florida community forced the cancellation of a football game that was intended to allow for integrated play. In 1948, Holt clashed with the Board of Trustees over awarding an honorary degree to educator Mary McLeod Bethune, a national leader in higher education. Despite their opposition, Holt ensured the degree was granted as his final act before retiring in 1949—making Rollins the first U.S. college to honor an African American woman in this way.
Despite his public struggles, Holt’s transformative leadership arguably redefined Rollins’ identity and put it on the map as a forward-thinking and top-tier liberal arts institution.
On April 26, 1951, two years after his retirement from Rollins, Holt passed away in Woodstock, Connecticut. To honor his legacy at Rollins, the Board of Trustees established the Hamilton Holt Award, to be given to “the famous or the unknown… It must, however, always be given to those who have in some way shown that any man anywhere, guided by truth and armed with honesty, can find his own destiny.”https://scholarship.rollins.edu/presidents/1007/thumbnail.jp
