Provincialism and the modern diaspora: T.S. Eliot and David Jones

This article considers how T. S. Eliot's promotion of the work of the Anglo-Welsh poet David Jones after the Second World War further involved him in a process of considering the resonances of the local and familiar as operative within the displacements of modernity. This promotion therefore retrospectively prioritized an aspect of Eliot's poetics which had been present, but occluded, all along. Conversely, the article considers how similar resonances in Jones's own work were enhanced by his encounter with Eliot's translation of the Francophone Caribbean poet St-John Perse's Anabase, an encounter which enabled Jones to establish an idiom responsive to the divergent cultural affinities inherent in ‘our situation’.

Sir Bernard Spilsbury: a survey and catalogue of his autopsy case cards from the Wellcome Library, London

During his lifetime, Sir Bernard Spilsbury was referred to as the ‘‘father of forensic medicine.’’ He became a household name as a result of several famous cases. Several articles have been written about his life and work, but an objective assessment has proved difficult because of the lack of available material that Spilsbury himself produced. His main legacy has been a series of case cards, but for many years these were unavailable to the researcher. In 2008, a collection of some 4000 of Spilsbury’s case cards was bought by The Wellcome Library in London and therefore entered the public domain. In this article, we report our study of 650 of these cards. We discuss trends in Spilsbury’s work and several specific cases in more detail. These cards allow an objective view to be taken of Spilsbury’s everyday work, and we feel that some reappraisal of his legacy is now timely

Rostros de la humanidad : La poesía de John Donne

El poeta inglés John Donne (1572-1631) es el principal exponente de la poesía 'metafísica', llamada así, en parte, por su recurrencia a lo conceptual y al ingenio (wit) para hablar de temas transcendentes como el amor, el hombre y Dios. Criticado desde los últimos años del siglo XVII hasta el XIX incluido, fue reivindicado en el siglo XX por otro poeta, T.S.Eliot, quien destacó su capacidad para aunar lo emocional y lo intelectual. A pesar de pertenecer a un período muy lejano a la experiencia contemporánea de los alumnos de inglés como lengua extranjera, el análisis de su obra puede servir como disparador para reflexionar sobre la situación actual, sobre temas como el lugar del hombre en la sociedad, su relación con Dios, el amor y la muerte
