Reading, publishing and the formation of literary taste in England, 1880-1914
No full textBetween 1880 and 1914, England saw the emergence of an unprecedented range of new literary forms from Modernism to the popular thriller. Not coincidentally, this period also marked the first overt references to an art/market divide through which books took on new significance as markers of taste and class. Though this division has received considerable attention relative to the narrative structures of the period's texts, little attention has been paid to the institutions and ideologies that largely determined a text's accessibility and circulated format and thus its mode of address to specific readerships. Hammond addresses this gap in scholarship, asking the following key questions: How did publishing and distribution practices influence reader choice? Who decided whether or not a book was a 'classic'? In a patriarchal, class-bound literary field, how were the symbolic positions of 'author' and 'reader' affected by the increasing numbers of women who not only bought and borrowed, but also wrote novels?Using hitherto unexamined archive material and focussing in detail on the working practices of publishers and distributors such as Oxford University Press and W.H. Smith and Sons, Hammond combines the methodologies of sociology, literary studies and book history to make an original and important contribution to our understanding of the cultural dynamics and rhetorics of the fin-de-siècle literary field in England

The big show: British cinema culture in the Great War (1914-1918)
No full textThe Big Show looks at the role played by cinema in British cultural life during World War One. In writing the definitive account of film exhibition and reception in Britain in the years 1914 to 1918, Michael Hammond shows how the British film industry and British audiences responded to the traumatic effects of the Great War. The author contends that the War's significant effect was to expedite the cultural acceptance of cinema into the fabric of British social life. As a result, by 1918, cinema had emerged as the predominant leisure form in British social life. Through a consideration of the films, the audience, the industry and the various regulating and censoring bodies, the book explores the impact of the war on the newly established cinema culture. It also studies the contribution of the new medium to the public's perception of the war.* Fills an important gap in the history of Hollywood outside the USA * Uses the cinema culture of Southampton, an important gateway port to the battlefields of Europe, to present a series of case studies* A study of early British cinema, for which the Exeter list has a strong reputation Social and cultural history of Britain in WW
Single scattering albedo dataset for Hammond et al. 2024
No full textSingle scattering albedo (w) for surface types listed in Hammond et al. 2024. First column is wavelength in nm, second column is w. The script ssa_to_albedo.py shows how to convert this data to the spherical reflectance or geometric albedo. It can be converted to other quantities following Hapke 2012 (Theory of Reflectance and Emittance Spectroscopy), summarised in Hammond et al. 2024. This dataset utilises spectra acquired by Raymond E. Arvidson, Melinda D. Dyar, Bethany L. Ehlmann, William H. Farrand, George Mathew, Jack Mustard, Carle M. Pieters, Hiroshi Takeda, and the Planetary Geosciences Lab (PSI) with the NASA RELAB facility at Brown University
