1. The Hon. Robert Curzon junior is a figure of significance for three reasons that have long been a matter of record. Firstly, be was the only person ever to investigate the contents of the monastic libraries of the Middle East and Meteora, others both before and after his time being either content or forced to confine themselves to one area or another. Secondly, he saved from almost certain destruction among the remains of some of these libraries a number of important manuscripts which are now, as a result of his efforts, in the British Museum. Thirdly, he described this enterprise in Visits to Monasteries in the Levant. Raskin described this work as the most delightful book of travels he ever opened. It went through three editions in its first year (1849), three further editions appeared in 1851,1865 and 1881, a seventh edition appeared in 1916, and the last edition appeared in 1955. The notice in The Dictionary of National Bioeranhy by Stanley Lane Poole has remained unaltered since it was written in 1886. It is very short and has virtually nothing to say about Curzon. He deserves to be better known. 2. In 1966 I began an investigation to ascertain the whereabouts or fate of manuscript material that would throw light on Curzon. Therewere over five hundred of his letters to the Rev. Walter Sneyd among the Sneyd Papers in the University Library at Keele, but the whereabouts of the Parham Papers was unknown. They were last seen in 1927 and it took five years to trace the largest surviving portion of them, during which time a second, smaller but quite unknown, portion came to light, followed by a third. From this material and from the letters to Sneyd it has been possible to make the first detailed biographical study of Curzon, and this forms the major part of the introduction. 3. The letters to Sneyd have an importance of their own. Firstly, apart from the light they throw on Curzon's career they are often more valuable for what they tell us about his personality than for what he actually says. Secondly, it is very rarely that one is made party to confidences of the sort Curzon shared with Sneyd. Curzon's letters illuminate over a period of nearly forty years the struggle taking place behind the scenes in an ancient, land-owning, Victorian family, from almost devastatingly close range. Thirdly, the unique character of the letters gives Curzon a claim to be considered as a letter writer. In so far as any undertaking which has had the advantage of freely given expert and local knowledge, constant encouragement and constructive criticism can be called original, this work represents the results of original research.

This thesis is a modern spelling edition of unedited poems and song lyrics from British Library, Additional Manuscript 15233, and a cultural and sociological study of the collection. The manuscript contains music, poetry and fragments of drama attributed to John Redford, Organist, Almoner and Master of the Choristers at St. Paul's Cathedral c.1534–1547, as well as work by at least six other mid Tudor poets. The manuscript has systematically been cited as a ‘St. Paul’s miscellany’(because the main body of work within it is attributed to Redford), and despite its varied content, has been considered almost solely from the perspective of Early Modern drama. This thesis considers the manuscript anew: as a whole, rather than in parts divided along disciplinary lines, as an example of material culture, and separately from the well-researched centres of St. Paul’s and John Redford. Chapters one and two comprise a study of the physical makeup of the manuscript, demonstrating new evidence for its date, and suggesting that it is the product of an artistic network centred on the London parish church of St. Mary-at-Hill. Chapters three and four comprise new studies of the content of the manuscript. Chapter three examines The Play of Wit and Science, with particular attention to its bibliographical status, and its engagement with contemporary artistic debate in performance. It also demonstrates its importance as a source for two later sixteenth-century plays. Chapter four is a case study of a single poem from the manuscript. This demonstrates the overall significance of MS 15233 as a source for verse and song, uncovers a network of printers involved in the transmission of its contents, and calls into question the long-standing theory that the Elizabethan poet George Gascoigne was a contributor to the manuscript. The final chapter of the thesis comprises a modern spelling edition of the poems and song lyrics from MS 15233 with individual commentaries and textual apparatus. This thesis demonstrates that to examine MS 15233 purely in relation to St. Paul’s Cathedral and John Redford, and from any one perspective, is reductive, and that these approaches have caused evidence to be skewed, and scholars to miss more complex possibilities regarding its compilation and provenance.

This paper will fill in the gaps in the current criticism regarding Toni Morrison's use of flight imagery and will also introduce a parallel line of criticism regarding Morrison's narrative focus on hands and hand gestures, an important and overlapping phenomenon in her novels. This phenomenon serves to elucidate Morrison's larger ideological project, in which she points out the core of one's life is creativity. Flight imagery and hand gestures work together to show a progression in Morrison's novels; thus, they must be considered together in order to completely comprehend characters and their actions as Morrison had intended.

A study of Walter Pater's work reveals the fact that from childhood he was actuated by an instinctive love of beauty apprehended through the senses and by an innate seriousness bordering almost on melancholy.

Inclusive education involves the participation of all children, including those with disabilities, as an expectation within mainstream education. The goal of inclusive education in Ontario, Canada is for all students, regardless of differences, to have equitable access to curriculum instruction with their typically developing peers. Physical education (PE) involves curriculum delivery in unique settings. While inclusive practice in PE has been studied in elementary schools, less research has focused on secondary school. In this dissertation, I explore how curriculum, resources, and educational practices support or create barriers for provision of inclusive PE in secondary schools. The first manuscript describes a critical discourse analysis of the 2015 Ontario Physical Education Curriculum, Grades 9-12. Analysis considers how language is used and reflected within curricular text to represent inclusion. The analysis highlights that teachers require support beyond policy to practice inclusion, and advocates for teacher and student voices to be represented in curricular documents. The second manuscript presents a rapid review of current literature to overview resources for Universal Design for Learning (UDL) available to support implementation in PE settings. Findings show that literature available to encourage professional development in universal design in PE is limited but growing. Physical educators still require support to facilitate implementation of UDL in practice. The third manuscript uses interpretive description to explore the perspectives of Ontario secondary school PE teachers implementing inclusive PE. Physical educators express a need for professional development opportunities and in-situ resources that provide informed knowledge about inclusive practices. The discussion chapter reflects on the exploratory findings of this research. Collaboration with school-based rehabilitation health professionals, such as occupational therapists and physical therapists, may provide a novel approach to support physical educators. Future research, policy, and practice initiatives should consider teacher agency within the context of system-based barriers that exist and influence inclusive PE. / Thesis / Candidate in Philosophy / Inclusive classrooms allow children with different abilities to learn together. Physical education (PE) is a class that may require adaptive teaching strategies and environmental modifications for all students to participate. This thesis explores how we can support PE teachers in delivering inclusive PE for secondary school students. The first study looks at how the Ontario Secondary School PE curriculum uses language to support inclusion. The second study identifies recent literature that explores how Universal Design for Learning, as a teaching approach, is used in PE classes to support inclusion. The third study examines physical educators’ views on what they need to create inclusive classes so that diverse students can participate fully. Findings from all studies suggest that PE teachers may benefit from collaboration with health professionals with expertise in development, movement science, and inclusion.
