"Ladyes, damesels, and jantilwomen": female autonomy and authority in Sir Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur

Popular medieval English romances were composed and received within the social consciousness of a distinctly patriarchal culture. This study examines the way in which the dynamic of these texts is significantly influenced by the consequences of female endeavour, in the context of an autonomous feminine presence in both the real and imagined worlds of medieval England, and the authority with which this is presented in various narratives, with a particular focus on Sir Thomas Malory’s Morte Darthur. Chapter One of this study establishes the social and economic positioning of the female in fifteenth-century England, and her capacity for literary engagement; I will then apply this model of female autonomy and authority to a wider discussion of texts contemporary with Malory in Chapters Two and Three, in anticipation of a more detailed study of Le Morte Darthur in Chapters Four and Five. My research explores the female presence and influence in these texts according to certain types: namely the lover, the victim, the ruler, and the temptress. In the case of Malory, the crux of my observations centres on the paradox of the capacity for power in perceived vulnerability, incorporating the presentation of women in this patriarchal culture as being vulnerable and in need of protection, while simultaneously acting as a significant threat to chivalric society by manipulating this apparent fragility, to the detriment of the chivalric knight. In this sense, women can be perceived as being an architect of the romance world, while simultaneously acting as its saboteur. In essence, this study offers an innovative interpretation of female autonomy and authority in medieval romance, presenting an exploration of the physical, intellectual, and emotional placement of women in both the historical and literary worlds of fifteenth-century England, while examining the implications of female conduct on Malory’s Arthurian society.

Profile Portrait of Major General Sir Isaac Brock 1769-1812

This work is a copy of a pastel oval portrait of General Brock that is supposedly the only known portrait of Brock to be done in his lifetime. The original was by William Berczy, circa 1808, and is in the possession of Captain M.H.T Mellish, a descendant of one of Brock's sisters. This portrait was completed on canvas.

William Beveridge ha expuesto en España sus modernas tésis económico-sociales.

El pensador y economista británico Sir William Beveridge, visitó la Faculta de Ciencias Políticas y Económicas de la Universidad Central, con motivo de la inauguración de la Cátedra de Seguridad Social y pronunció un discurso sobre 'Seguridad Social' y 'La ocupación total en una sociedad libre'. En cuanto al primero de los temas, se refirió a la seguridad de los individuos fomentada por el Estado frente a los riesgos que pudieran sobrevenirles, incluso cuando la situación de la sociedad fuera satisfactoria. Comentó el Plan de Seguridad Social que elevó al gobierno británico en 1942, mediante el cual, todos los ciudadanos quedaban protegidos garantizándoles una renta suficiente para atender su subsistencia cuando sus ingresos se interrumpieran. Este plan podría ser aplicable a cualquier país, pero adaptándolo a las propias características del mismo y a sus necesidades. En cuanto a la ocupación de los ciudadanos para asegurar una sociedad libre, precisaba el economista que era necesario que existieran y se ocuparan tantos trabajos como hombres y mujeres disponibles y en edad de trabajar con el fin de desarrollar un sociedad en la que sus ciudadanos pudieran tener una vida plena.

William Harvey revisited

William Harvey's discovery of the circulation of the blood is often described as a product of the Scientific Revolution of the Seventeenth Century. Modern research has, however, shown thatHarvey followed the Aristotelian research tradition and thus tried to reveal the purpose of the organs through examination of various animals. His publication of 1628 has to be read as an argument of natural philosophy, or, more precisely, as a series of linked observations, experiments and philosophical reasonings from which the existence of circulation has to be deduced as a logical consequence. Harvey did not consider experiments as superior to philosophical reasoning nor intended he to create a new system of medicine. He believed in the vitality of the heart and the blood and rejected Francis Bacon's empirism and the mechanistic rationalism of Descartes. Harvey's contribution and originality lied less in his single observations and experiments but in the manner how he linked them with critical reasoning and how he accepted, presented and defended the ensuing radical findings.
