In this thesis I consider the life and work of William Kelly, a Brethren theologian who was a leader of the Moderate Exclusive Brethren movement. I have analysed his beliefs and his influence amongst the Brethren and the wider Victorian Christian world. In particular, I have used articles, both those by other Brethren writers which Kelly edited, and the many articles he wrote himself as contributions to The Bible Treasury, a published monthly magazine which he edited between 1856 and 1906. I have considered his books of Biblical exegesis and his tracts and pamphlets on other subjects. While Kelly also edited the work of John Nelson Darby (1880-1882), I have contended that Kelly was an independent theologian in his own right and not just an indiscriminate follower of Darby's teaching. I have examined Kelly's lively and scholarly appraisal of the German 'School of Higher Criticism' and its commentary on Anglican and non-conformist theologians of his period with whom he disagreed. Kelly's work is worthy of study because his Biblical exegesis was meticulous and scholarly and demonstrated his understanding of each book within the context of the wider Biblical text. In keeping with the title of my thesis, I propose that Kelly's teaching was nuanced and cannot easily be stereotyped. In describing him as a Biblical literalist, I have chosen to focus on the key topics of 'the Atonement' and 'the After-Life', as these were considered to be controversial topics amongst Victorian theologians and Kelly referred to them throughout his teaching. In defining him partly as a conservative intellectual, I examine his broader understanding of Biblical language and literary form, his assessment of the philosophical foundations of criticism, and his response to German and English trends in Biblical criticism. I also consider his mystic theology with regard to the church and the teaching of the Epistles and the way his own writing encapsulates his interpretation of the Biblical text. Finally, I have come to some overall conclusions about how we can assess William Kelly, the characteristics of his theology and his place within the continuum of Brethren theology and of a broader Christian tradition.

Med rötter i 1970-talets kvinnorörelse, under parollen ”Det personliga är politiskt”, satte konstnären Mary Kelly moderskap, barnafödande och barnomsorg under lupp i samband med sitt verk Post-Partum Document, 1973-1979. För många kvinnliga konstutövare som gjorde sitt bästa för att, via konsten, frigöra sig från sociala roller och nedärvda beteendemönster, möttes hennes initiativ att ge en bild av denna för dem bromsande moderlighet, med förvåning. Mary Kelly delade konceptkonstens politiska patos för en distanserad reflektion över den kulturella diskursen men hon bytte den lingvistiska analysen mot psykoanalysen. Hennes råmaterial var den subjektiva erfarenheten: kroppen, dess rädslor och sexuella drivkrafter samt de institutionella och kulturella konventioner som tillfogades den. Hennes analysmetoder och omfattande teori banade väg för en mer akademisk, socialkonstruktivistisk feminism som gav ringar på vattnet efter att Post-Partum Document premiärvisades i London år 1976. I linje med den västerländska andra vågen-feminismen utforskade hon den kvinnligt levda erfarenheten men Post-Partum Document markerar också en vändpunkt mot en subjektiv psykoanalys i konstpraktik och teori, som inte minst den efterföljande tredje generationens feminister anammade under 1980-talet. Med verket, som består av sex sektioner och totalt 135 objekt, syftar Mary Kelly till att synliggöra hur den biologiska skillnaden mellan kön och sociala normer befästs via moderskapet och den barnomsorg som det medför. Verket beskriver hennes egen sons socialiseringsprocess fram till sex års ålder. Begreppet Post partum betyder ”efter förlossningen” och syftar till att beskriva moderns tillstånd efter barnets födelse. Denna term gäller således inte barnet vilket också bör understrykas i relation till verkets titel. PPD:s syfte är främst att beskriva modern och hennes känslor i form av oro, rädsla, makt och åtrå i relation till barnet. Modern representerar här samhället, kolonisatören, som tar det anspråkslösa, primitiva spädbarnet till sin barm i syfte att uppfostra det och ge det verktyg för att göra sig förstådd. I Post-Partum Document är hon, till skillnad från psykoanalysens teorier om fallos och kvinnans brist i relation till mannen eftersom hon inte utrustats med penis, ägare av den symboliska fallosen medan mannen, i detta fall sonen, är i underläge. Att Mary Kelly samtidigt bearbetade sin egen erfarenhet av sina respektive roller – som kvinna, konstnär, feminist och sedermera mor - samt polemiken dem emellan gjorde verket unikt i en samtid där konceptkonsten sällan adresserade subjektiva upplevelser medan feministerna, å sin sida, var upptagna med att frigöra sig från de roller som ansågs traditionellt feminina. Via differentierande uttryck av moderns känsloregister i relation till barnet tecknar konstnären en bild av ett moderskap fyllt av oro, nervositet, tvivel, upprymdhet och åtrå samtidigt som hon ställer frågor om föreställningen kring den naturliga modern och kvinnlig sexualitet.

The Fairy Star; or Boucicault's Revenge is based on an incident which occurred in the relationship between actress Agnes Kelly Robertson and her common-law spouse, the actor and dramatist Dion Boucicault. The action of the play takes place late in the afternoon of September 3, 1875, in the parlor of Robertson's home, Langham Place. The dramatic conflict revolves around their meeting for the first time after a two-year separation, during which time Boucicault had forced Robertson to virtually retire from the stage and remain at home with their six children. When Robertson learns that Boucicault desperately needs her to star in his latest theatrical production, she sets out to win back her place as the star of both his life and his plays.

Evolutionary finance studies financial markets from an evolutionary point of view. A financial market can be interpreted in the context of its evolution: it can be understood as a dynamical system in which frequently interacting investment strategies compete for market capital. We are mainly interested in the long-run performance of investment strategies. This thesis explores the "Darwinian theory" of portfolio selection. An asset market can be modelled by a game-theoretic evolutionary model in which asset prices are endogenously determined by market clearing condition. A general version of the Kelly rule is shown to allow an investor to "survive" in the asset market. We then investigate the stochastic model with independent and identical distributed states of the world from a different, game-theoretic, angle and examine Nash equilibrium strategies, satisfying equilibrium conditions with probability one. Evolutionary finance and asset market games also provide new angles to present fundamental facts of capital growth theory. Relations between financial growth and the property of "survival" of investment strategies are established in the market selection process.
