Title: THE QUALITY OF VILLAGE LIFE IN MEDIEVAL ENGLAND: AN INTER-DISCIPLINARY APPROACH.
Creator: LING, JOAN CATHERINE, Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description: Historical reconstructions of medieval England are generally deficient in that they tend either to overlook the peasantry entirely, in spite of the fact that it comprised 90% of the population, or they offer only cursory, often inaccurate, accounts of peasant life. Both deficiencies result from the inadequacies of the documentary evidence, yet historians have consistently eschewed available physical evidence which could greatly increase our understanding of the period. Physical evidence,...
Show moreHistorical reconstructions of medieval England are generally deficient in that they tend either to overlook the peasantry entirely, in spite of the fact that it comprised 90% of the population, or they offer only cursory, often inaccurate, accounts of peasant life. Both deficiencies result from the inadequacies of the documentary evidence, yet historians have consistently eschewed available physical evidence which could greatly increase our understanding of the period. Physical evidence, primarily from archaeological sites, is presented to demonstrate how such material can supplement and amend what historians know about medieval English society. The specific questions of the thirteenth century peasant's housing, diet, social and economic isolation, and standard of living are examined in terms of both documentary and physical evidence, to prove that an inter-disciplinary approach can help to resolve conflicting historical interpretations, confirm or refute popular historical reconstructions, and expand our knowledge of medieval England.

Title: For God and country: W. T. Stead and the beginnings of the new journalism in Victorian Britain, 1883-1885.
Creator: Guerty, Phillip Michael., Florida Atlantic University, Frazer, Heather
Abstract/Description: Since the late nineteenth century, scholars and historians have attributed the growth of a sensational press in Britain to long-term societal changes such as the rise of capitalism. What has been ignored, however, is the importance of individual initiative, mainly that of W. T. Stead of the Pall Mall Gazette. During the Sudan Crisis of 1883-1885, Stead introduced a new type of journalism to England that combined typographical innovations, such as maps and striking headlines, with a lively...
Show moreSince the late nineteenth century, scholars and historians have attributed the growth of a sensational press in Britain to long-term societal changes such as the rise of capitalism. What has been ignored, however, is the importance of individual initiative, mainly that of W. T. Stead of the Pall Mall Gazette. During the Sudan Crisis of 1883-1885, Stead introduced a new type of journalism to England that combined typographical innovations, such as maps and striking headlines, with a lively literary style. At the root of this new type of reporting were Stead's deep-felt convictions about spreading Christianity, extending the empire, and improving the world through newspapers.

Title: Across the Empire: British women's travel writings and women's place in the British imperial project during the second half of the nineteenth century.
Creator: Wernecke, Katie., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of History
Abstract/Description: Women in Britain in the nineteenth century were expected to fulfill the traditional roles of wife and mother as determined by British society. Over the course of the nineteenth century, these ideals evolved, but the core functions of wife and mother remained at the center. Woman's participation outside the household was limited. British women travelers during the nineteenth century found themselves in many different environments. By examining samples of women's travel narratives from various...
Show moreWomen in Britain in the nineteenth century were expected to fulfill the traditional roles of wife and mother as determined by British society. Over the course of the nineteenth century, these ideals evolved, but the core functions of wife and mother remained at the center. Woman's participation outside the household was limited. British women travelers during the nineteenth century found themselves in many different environments. By examining samples of women's travel narratives from various locations in the Empire, this study analyzes the daily lives of British women in the Empire and determines that, while maintaining their roles within the private sphere as wives and mothers, women's activities in the colonies were less restricted than they would have been in Britain.

Title: Hugh Price Hughes: Late Victorian nonconformity and the Kingdom of God.
Creator: Grosso, Diane Lee., Florida Atlantic University, Frazer, Heather
Abstract/Description: Hugh Price Hughes was a Welsh Methodist minister who revolutionized Victorian Methodism through his "Forward Movement" and the West London Mission. He was important because he helped to modernize and socialize Nonconformity and brought the forces of holiness to bear on the political process by encouraging an activist faith. The use of The Methodist Times and his sermons demonstrate his message that Christianity and power politics were compatible. However, there were inconsistencies in his...
Show moreHugh Price Hughes was a Welsh Methodist minister who revolutionized Victorian Methodism through his "Forward Movement" and the West London Mission. He was important because he helped to modernize and socialize Nonconformity and brought the forces of holiness to bear on the political process by encouraging an activist faith. The use of The Methodist Times and his sermons demonstrate his message that Christianity and power politics were compatible. However, there were inconsistencies in his vision, as he tried to combine socialism and "liberal imperialism," duty and political activism. Evaluations of his sermons reveal his extreme idealism which was fast becoming problematic by the late Victorian, early Edwardian period. Hughes epitomized the transitional nature of his time and place. Despite his noble effort to modernize Christian belief, his vision of a Christian world order was politically paternalistic and out of touch with burgeoning democracy.

Title: An aristocratic revolution?: the British reaction to the Decembrist Revolt of 1825.
Creator: Posner, Kenneth., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of History
Abstract/Description: This thesis argues that in the wake of the Decembrist Revolt in Russia in 1825, the British Foreign Office was forced to address the tension between two conceptions of stability-one domestic and one international. It contends that the aristocratic ethos of the British diplomatic corps both magnified the fragile social condition of the Russian Empire and organized the political response which subordinated this concern to the international equilibrium of Europe. Ambassadors such as Lord...
Show moreThis thesis argues that in the wake of the Decembrist Revolt in Russia in 1825, the British Foreign Office was forced to address the tension between two conceptions of stability-one domestic and one international. It contends that the aristocratic ethos of the British diplomatic corps both magnified the fragile social condition of the Russian Empire and organized the political response which subordinated this concern to the international equilibrium of Europe. Ambassadors such as Lord Strangford and Edward Cromwell Disbrowe helped interpret the events of the Decembrist conspiracy while stationed in St. Petersburg and reported back to their Foreign Secretary, George Canning, who used the revolt as an attempt to realign British interests with Russia. In the end, elite Britons chose to protect the international balance of power in post-Napoleonic Europe instead of the traditional social hierarchies believed to be under siege in Russia.

Show moreTea is a beverage consumed by individuals from a multitude of different cultures. It is often taken up with open arms and welcomed as a prominient compnent of cultures, diets, and daily social interactions. The value of tea is based as much on its physical cultures that enjoy tea interact with the beverage in different ways, I argue that tea has its own culture. From interviews with four informants, I found three dominant components of the tea culture that have swayed them to join : (1) tea can be a medium for social gatherings, (2) tea is beneficial to the mind and body, (3) people take the time to fully enjoy the experience. This thesis seeks to understand the value tea has for Floridian tea enthusiasts, the roots of the tea culture, and what it is about tea that has caused many to become "addicted".

Title: "A spirit of benevolence": Manchester and the origins of modern public health, 1790-1834.
Creator: Boxen, Jennifer L., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of History
Abstract/Description: This thesis argues that the British Public Health movement did not begin in 1842 with Edwin Chadwick's publication, Report on the Sanitary Conditions of the Labouring Population of Great Britain (1842), or in 1848, with the subsequent passage of the Public Health Act. The beginning of the public health movement was instead the product of local initiatives such as the Manchester Board of Health, administered not by central government, but by members of the local community supported by...
Show moreThis thesis argues that the British Public Health movement did not begin in 1842 with Edwin Chadwick's publication, Report on the Sanitary Conditions of the Labouring Population of Great Britain (1842), or in 1848, with the subsequent passage of the Public Health Act. The beginning of the public health movement was instead the product of local initiatives such as the Manchester Board of Health, administered not by central government, but by members of the local community supported by predominantly philanthropic funding. The Manchester movement predated Chadwick's efforts by at least half a century and bore a greater resemblance to the modern idea of an organized public health system than that advanced by Chadwick and his contemporaries. This is because the Manchester movement emphasized not only those sanitary ideas ascribed to Chadwick but also included a broader spectrum of public health measures, including but not limited to ; preventative medicine, occupational health, and the reduction of contagious diseases.

Title: Reassessing Consensus: Alejandro O’Reilly’s 1765 Visita and Puerto Rican History.
Creator: Mallen, Sean Thomas, Cruz-Taura, Graciella, Florida Atlantic University, Dorothy F Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of History
Abstract/Description: King Charles III of Spain implemented a series of Enlightenment reforms throughout his domain following the 1763 defeat of the Seven Years War Among the royal officials sent to enact these reforms in the Caribbean, the Crown dispatched Field Marshal Alejandro O’Reilly to the colony of Puerto Rico Historians have attributed to his 1765 inspection, or visita, and subsequent report, or memoria, the foundations for a turning point in the island’s history Despite the historical consensus that has...
