The Poet as Believer A Theological Study of Paul Claudel

The Poet as Believer A Theological Study of Paul Claudel

This is the first comprehensive study of the theological significance of Paul Claudel a poet frequently cited by literary-minded theologians in Europe and theologically-minded poets (such as von Balthasar de Lubac and Eliot). His writing combines cosmology and history Bible and metaphysics liturgy and the drama of human personality. His work which continues to arouse discussion in France was acclaimed in his lifetime as the 'summa poetica' of a new Dante. Aidan Nichols' study demonstrates how Claudel's oeuvre which is not only poetry but theatre and prose including biblical commentaries constitutes a rich resource for constructive doctrine liturgical preaching and theological reflection. As the comparable example of Geoffrey Hill Professor of Poetry at Oxford suggests Aidan Nichols illuminates how Claudel's synthesis of many dimensions remains an important way of practising poetry in the Christian tradition today. | The Poet as Believer A Theological Study of Paul Claudel

William Lawes (1602-1645) Essays on His Life Times and Work

William Lawes (1602-1645) Essays on His Life Times and Work

First published in 1998 this volume comprises papers given at a conference on Lawes and his music held at Oxford in September 1995 to commemorate the 350th anniversary of his death. They examine not only Lawes’s music but the milieu in which he worked. Part One examines the musical life of the English Court in Lawes’s day noting his activities there and his involvement with companies of players. Manuscript studies and a detailed account of the fatal battle are also included. Part Two comprises seven essays exploring the wide range of his instrumental and vocal music. William Lawes is acknowledged as the most exciting and innovative composer working in England during the reign of Charles I. His tragic early death at the Siege of Chester in 1645 only served to heighten his reputation among his contemporaries lending him also the cloak of martyrdom in the service of his king. | William Lawes (1602-1645) Essays on His Life Times and Work

Child Care Needs and Numbers

Child Care Needs and Numbers

Originally published in 1968 the study described in this title began in a very small way in late 1960. At that time some Oxfordshire county councillors and children’s department officials were very conscious that the number of children in care in the county was high in comparison with the national average. This meant that expenditure was also high. The County’s position however was not unique. Oxford City was in a similar position but other neighbours did not appear to have the same problem. A small research project was launched to investigate and it soon became apparent that there was a large and complex problem to be solved. The problem was of striking persistent and puzzling variations in the proportion of children in care in the different local authority children’s departments of England and Wales. This seemed to warrant a larger investigation on a country-wide basis and this book outlines the findings of that project. | Child Care Needs and Numbers

A History of South Africa to 1870

A History of South Africa to 1870

Originally published in 1982 and based on the 1969 Oxford History of South Africa this book discusses some of the trends in the historiography of South Africa before the beginning of large-scale mining operations in Kimberley in 1870. A deliberate attempt was made to look at the roots of South African society and to take due account of all its peoples. The book includes a survey of archaeological data emphasizing the links between South Africa and the rest of the continent and between the more remote and more recent past in South Africa. The lives of the hunting herding and cultivating peoples who lived in South Africa before the advent of the Europeans. The foundation of a colonial society is described and the expansion of that society until the 1770s. The final chapters review the relations between the peoples of the Cape Colony and the Nguni cultivators from their first meetings until about 1870 and the growth of the plural society in the Cape Colony until 1970. | A History of South Africa to 1870

The Nineteenth-Century History of English Studies

The Nineteenth-Century History of English Studies

This study collects together many of the original texts from the long-running debate which surrounded the rise of English as an academic subject. Most of the texts were ephemeral and have been long out of print but they are essential to an understanding of how English studies developed. They show how English was influenced by pre-existing subjects like rhetoric and classics and how it assumed different faces in different academic institutions. Each text is given an introduction which sets it in context and highlights themes. A general introduction to the book sketches the history of English studies in the nineteenth century. London was central to the early history with University College King’s College and Queen’s College all looming large. Oxford figured later in the century and became the centre of a truly national debate over the future of the subject. Schools played a part especially grammar schools catering for middle-class pupils who were commonly identified as the main market for English. | The Nineteenth-Century History of English Studies

Cambridge Theology in the Nineteenth Century Enquiry Controversy and Truth

Cambridge Theology in the Nineteenth Century Enquiry Controversy and Truth

Many books have been written about nineteenth-century Oxford theology but what was happening in Cambridge? This book provides the first continuous account of what might be called 'the Cambridge theological tradition' by discussing its leading figures from Richard Watson and William Paley through Herbert Marsh and Julius Hare to the trio of Lightfoot Westcott and Hort. It also includes a chapter on nonconformists such as Robertson Smith P. T. Forsyth and T. R. Glover. The analysis is organised around the defences that were offered for the credibility of Christianity in response to hostile and friendly critics. In this period the study of theology was not yet divided into its modern self-contained areas. A critical approach to scripture was taken for granted and its implications for ecclesiology the understanding of salvation and the social implications of the Gospel were teased out (in Hort's phrase) through enquiry and controversy as a way to discover truth. Cambridge both engaged with German theology and responded positively to the nineteenth-century 'crisis of faith'. | Cambridge Theology in the Nineteenth Century Enquiry Controversy and Truth

England's Leonardo Robert Hooke and the Seventeenth-Century Scientific Revolution

England's Leonardo Robert Hooke and the Seventeenth-Century Scientific Revolution

All physicists are familiar with Hooke's law of springs but few will know of his theory of combustion that his Micrographia was the first book on microscopy that his astronomical observations were some of the best seen at the time that he contributed to the knowledge of respiration insect flight and the properties of gases that his work on gravitation preceded that of Newton's that he invented the universal joint and that he was an architect of distinction and a surveyor for the City of London after the Great Fire. England's Leonardo is a biography of Hooke covering all aspects of his work from his early life on the Isle of Wight through his time at Oxford University where he became part of a group who would form the original Fellowship of the Royal Society. The author adopts a novel approach at this stage dividing the book by chapter according to the fields of research-Physiology Engineering Microscopy Astronomy Geology and Optics-in which Hooke applied himself. The book concludes with a chapter considering the legacy of Hooke and his impact on science. | England's Leonardo Robert Hooke and the Seventeenth-Century Scientific Revolution

Reason Community and Religious Tradition Anselm's Argument and the Friars

Reason Community and Religious Tradition Anselm's Argument and the Friars

This title was first published in 2001: Reason Community and Religious Tradition examines key questions about the relationship of rationality to its contexts by tracing the early history of the so-called 'ontological' argument. The book follows Anselm's Proslogion from its origins in the private devotional context of an eleventh-century monastery to its reception in the public and adversarial contexts of the friars' schools in the thirteenth century. Using unpublished manuscript evidence from the Dominican and Franciscan schools at Oxford Paris and Bologna in the thirteenth century Matthews argues that the debate over Anselm's argument embodied the broader religious differences between the Franciscan and Dominican communities. By comparing the most famous figures of the period with their lesser-known contemporaries Matthews argues that the Friars thought as communities and developed as traditions as they developed their arguments. This book will interest anyone concerned with the nature of rationality and its relationship to communities and traditions and what this entails for rational debate across cultural divides. In particular it offers a fresh perspective on traditional approaches to the rationality of religion and religious belief. | Reason Community and Religious Tradition Anselm's Argument and the Friars

Thomas Harriot: Science and Discovery in the English Renaissance

Thomas Harriot: Science and Discovery in the English Renaissance

This volume sheds new light on one of the most remarkable polymaths of the English Renaissance. It offers original perspectives not only on Harriot’s personal achievements in mathematics and natural philosophy but also on the wider realms of exploration colonial ambition and philosophical debate in which he earned the attention and respect of contemporaries in and far beyond the socially elevated circles of his two great patrons first Walter Ralegh and then Henry Percy the ninth Earl of Northumberland. Harriot’s sixteenth-century world was one of unprecedented expansion in both scientific understanding and the discovery of new lands and peoples. The essays gathered here bring out forcefully the effect of this expanding vision encapsulated in Harriot’s Briefe and true report of the new found land of Virginia (1588) the first detailed description of America to be published in the English language. In addition to an essay by a recent biographer of Harriot the volume contains reworked versions of seven Thomas Harriot Lectures an annual lecture series inaugurated in 1990 in Oriel College Oxford. It follows two earlier volumes of Harriot Lectures also edited by Robert Fox that appeared in 2000 and 2012. | Thomas Harriot: Science and Discovery in the English Renaissance
