Ashgate Interdisciplinary Studies in Opera

Although Gustav Holst is rarely thought of as an opera composer, his operatic works provide a gateway to the exploration of how a budding opera composer negotiated the British operatic world across his career and how his synthesis of a myriad of cultural influences in his operatic works affected his reputation and success as a composer. This interdisciplinary study provides a kaleidoscopic view of how overlapping and often contradictory cultural influences such as imperialism, religion, literature, indigenous theatre, philosophy, folk culture, nationalism, and historiography are reflected in Holst's operas and figure into his reception as a composer of operas.

PRE-ORDER THE HEARTFELT TALE OF ONE WOMAN'S JOURNEY TO UNCOVER A FAMILY HISTORY BURIED BY SECRETS OF WAR AND TRAGEDY IN PAPERBACK NOW---------------------------------I would learn that when families tell stories, what they leave out re-defines what they keep in. With my family, these were not secrets intentionally withheld. Just truths too painful to confront. In the last years of her life, Teresa Lim's mother, Violet Chang, had copies of a cherished family photograph made for those in the portrait who were still alive. The photo is mounted on cream card with the name of the studio stamped at the bottom in Chinese characters. The place and date on the back: Hong Kong, 1935. Teresa would often look at this photograph, enticed by the fierceness and beauty of her great-aunt Fanny looking back at her. But Fanny never seemed to feature in the told and retold family stories. Why? she wondered. This photograph set Teresa on a journey to uncover her family's remarkable history. Through detective work, serendipity, and the kindness of strangers, she was guided to the fascinating, ordinary, extraordinary life of her great-aunt and her world of sworn spinsters, ghost husbands and the working-class feminists of 19th century south China. But to recover her great-aunt's past, we first must get to know Fanny's family, the times and circumstances in which they lived, and the momentous yet forgotten conflicts that would lead to war in Singapore and, ultimately, a long-buried family tragedy. The Interpreter's Daughter is a beautifully moving record of an extraordinary family history. For fans of Wild Swans, The Hare With Amber Eyes, and Falling Leaves this is the next classic in the making.

The Wrecker’s Girl

Nine-year-old Ira-Abel Rawles lives on Hook Farm in the village of Underwhelem. Next to the farm is Gore Woods, Ira's sanctuary, overseen by Orlam, the all-seeing lamb's eyeball who is Ira-Abel's guardian and protector. Here, drawing on the rituals, children's songs, chants and superstitions of the rural West Country of England, Ira-Abel creates the twin realm through which she can make sense of an increasingly confusing and frightening world. Orlam follows Ira and the inhabitants of Underwhelem month by month through the last year of her childhood innocence. The result is a poem-sequence of light and shadow - suffused with hints of violence, sexual confusion and perversion, the oppression of family, but also ecstatic moments in sunlit clearings, song and bawdy humour. The broad theme is ultimately one of love - carried by Ira's personal Christ, the constantly bleeding soldier-ghost Wyman-Elvis, who bears 'The Word': Love Me Tender. Orlam is not only a remarkable coming-of-age tale, but the first full-length book written in the Dorset dialect for many decades. Orlam also reveals P J Harvey as not only one of the most talented songwriters of the age, but a gifted poet - whose formal skill, transforming eye and ear for the lyric line has produced a strange and moving poem like no other.

Public Policy and Politics

A key source of theory and practice for students interested in engaging communities in the policy process, the third edition of this authoritative textbook provides the ideal introduction to the development of policy and practice in relation to community over the past sixty years.

Community and the ideas associated with it – civil society, social capital, mutuality, networks – are often seen by policy makers as the solution to persistent problems in society, most recently in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Substantially revised and updated to reflect advances in research, theory and practice, this enables students to combine theoretical discussion of policy with practical national and international case studies such population movement, Covid-19, climate change, the rise of populism, new digital technologies inc. social media and virtual communities, changing understandings of identity, and rising inequality.

Addressing in particular the challenges, contradictions and dilemmas inherent in ideas of community empowerment, Taylor's indispensiable text asks how far communities of place still have relevance in a fast changing world and how far practices developed over the decades remain relevant to the challenges of the coming years. A pivotal assessment of the place of community in policy and practice today.
