The foundation of this research is the assembly and analysis of a corpus of over 500 images of Oxford produced between 1191 and 1759, affirming Joseph Skelton's claim that "Perhaps no place in England can boast such a succession of delineations of itself, from an early period, as Oxford". Structured analysis at an individual level permits outstanding questions on attribution and authorship to be addressed. At an aggregate level, several conclusions can be drawn. Oxford's persistent iconic self-image - its walls, spires and towers - was already established by 1191. The flood of images appearing from 1675 was not the result of the antiquarian or any other movement, but the serendipitous presence in Oxford of two men, John Fell and David Loggan. It is argued that Oxonia Illustrata was not simply a suite of images to accompany Anthony Wood's Historia et antiquitates, but conceived as an emulation of Dutch 'praise and description' books, with which Loggan would have been familiar. His successors as University Engravers - Michael Burghers, George Vertue and John Green - also made notable contributions. From the early 1700s, many prints were designed to seek funding or approval for building projects, or to celebrate completion. Rare early states of such prints can provide information on the development of designs supplementing better known original architectural drawings. Only after 1690, with Loggan's Cantabrigia Illustrata, and 1720, with Strype's edition of Stow's Survey of London, did any other British city begin to compete with Oxford as to the quality and quantity of prints produced. From the 1750s, the rather severe style of Loggan and his immediate successors began to be replaced by the more naturalistic style adopted by John Donowell, presaging the advent of the Picturesque. This corpus of images can supplement textual resources in supporting more general historical research.

Se analizaron 60 muestras de Salchicha tipo Huacho de los Mercados de Abastos del Cercado de Lima, con la finalidad de determinar la incidencia de Listeria monocytogenes. Estas muestras se llevaron al Laboratorio de Microbiología de la Facultad de Farmacia y Bioquímica de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, en recipientes estériles, refrigerados y se procesaron dentro de las 24 horas de colectadas. Para el análisis microbiológico se utilizó la técnica según USDA- FSIS, que consta de tres fases: Pre-enriquecimiento, Enriquecimiento de la muestra y siembra en agares selectivos, pruebas Bioquímicas, Catalasa, Gram positivos y la prueba del CAMP para su confirmación. La incidencia de L. monocytogenes en Salchicha tipo Huacho, en los Mercados de Abastos del Cercado de Lima es de 78%, siendo un valor considerable y que supera a los valores reportados en estudios a nivel internacional. Estos resultados permiten considerar que la Salchicha tipo Huacho se constituye como un alimento de riesgo potencial para la Salud Pública. / --- 60 samples of the Huacho Sausage from the Food Markets in Cercado de Lima, in Lima, Peru, were analyzed in order to determine the incidence of Listeria monocytogenes. These samples were taken to the Laboratory of Microbiology to the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry at the National University of San Marcos. They were taken in sterile containers for being refrigerated. Then they were processed within 24 hours of being collected. The USDA-FSIS technique was used for microbiological analysis, which consists of three phases: Pre-enrichment of the sample, Sample Enrichment and Reseeding on selective agars. At the same time, some biochemical tests were applied, such as the positive Catalase test, the test of Great Positive, and CAMP test to confirm the results. The incidence of the Listeria monocytogenes in the Huacho Sausage, from the Food Markets in Cercado de Lima, is 78%. This is quite high, as it exceeds the values reported in international studies. These results support the conclusion that the Huacho Sausage is a food with a potential risk to the public health.

This thesis offers an interpretation of Royalist literature of the first civil war. It particularly addresses the importance of spatial metaphors and material realities to loyalist notions of identity and meaning.I illustrate how royalist space was predicated upon scientific and mathematical notions of authority and hierarchy, and how this sense of 'absolute space' inflected royalist conceptions of a variety of other locations: gender, society, language, the public. The thesis traces how Charles attempted to use economic, political and juridical measures to create a context in which he could impose certain sociospatial relations and structures of identity. Proclamations and royal protocols polemically reconfigured the institutional life of the country. Licensing of the presses provided a controlled textual mediation of information and fostered particular definitions of national identity. Against this background discourse Charles and his court created a model of Royalism which inflected and created social relations and in particular notions of allegiance. Modes of behaviour that seemed outside the bounds of institutionally and socially defined normality were caricatured as external, alien and other. The model of Royalism I postulate throws into new relief studies of Parliamentary texts, and restructures our thinking about allegiance, text and identity during the Civil War period. My thesis falls into two sections. The opening two chapters establish the material contexts and constraints of publication during the war. Chapter one looks in depth at the relocation of the court within the city of Oxford, considering the institutional and political manifestations of this movement. Chapter two analyses censorship and licensing, circulation and the status of text. The second part of the thesis considers a wide variety of texts published at Oxford, considering specific modes (panegyric, elegy) and forms (speeches, satires, epic, topographical verse). These works are analysed by reference to the contexts outlined in the opening section. By considering tracts, newsbooks, sermons, institutional reform, painting, poetry, hitherto unconsidered manuscript material, political theory, translation and linguistic textbooks I contextualise in depth and further our understanding of Royalist culture.

The thesis is an historical account, given in a descriptive and narrative fashion, of the impact of Tractarianism on the life of the Church of England in the West Indies from 1850 to 1900, based largely on the investigation of widely scattered original sources. / The author examines the relationship between the Oxford Movement in England and the West Indies with a view to discovering similarities and differences and, where possible, to give reasons for the differences. / Special attention is given to those personalities, particularly the early bishops and clergy, through whom the principles of the Oxford Movement were transmitted to the West Indies. The role of Tractarianism in the interaction of high and low churchmanship is assessed. The reasons for opposition to it are noted, the strongest of which was the fear that it represented a stepping stone to Roman Catholicism. / Finally, cognizance is taken of Tractarian influence in major areas of the church's life and work, such as worship, church polity, pastoral concerns, theology, and religious education.
