Download or read book Judith Anderson written by Desley Deacon and published by Kerr Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone knows Mrs Danvers as a byword for menace in Hitchcock's Rebecca and as a poster girl for lesbians in the movies. But only dedicated fans know her brilliant creator. This book tells Judith Anderson's life story for the first time. It recovers her career as one of the great stars of stage and television and an important character actress in film. Born in Adelaide, Australia, in 1897, brought up by a determined single mother, she parlayed her rich, velvety voice and ability to give reality to strong emotional roles into stardom on Broadway in the 1920s. Not a conventional beauty, she was alluring, with her beautiful body, perfect dress sense, and striking, volatile personality. After playing glamorous roles, she was recognised as a Leading Lady of the American Stage under the direction of Guthrie McClintic in Hamlet and co-starring with Laurence Olivier and Maurice Evans in Macbeth. Her reputation as a great actress was confirmed by her landmark performance in 1947 in the ancient Greek Medea, adapted for her by her friend, poet Robinson Jeffers. In a long career, she appeared in Medea again in 1982 at the age of 85, playing the Nurse to fellow-Australian Zoe Caldwell's Medea. Ambitious and driven, Anderson toured extensively, made numerous highly praised appearances on television, and, after her unforgettable role as Mrs Danvers, was a sought-after character actress in film, playing her last role as Vulcan High Priestess in Star Trek III at the age of 87. She won many awards and was made a Dame Commander of the British Empire in 1960 and Companion of the Order of Australia just before her death in 1992. She had a stormy private life and two short marriages, which, she remarked, were 'much too long.'
Book Synopsis Earning a Crust by : Judith Ann Anderson
Download or read book Earning a Crust written by Judith Ann Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique combination of local, cultural and family history explores the lives of the men and women who worked in the baking trade in the regional Queensland town of Warwick during the century after the town's establishment in 1861. What emerges is a microcosm of Australia as it was until the rapid technological changes and societal shifts that began in the 1960s. Printed in colour and enriched by anecdotes and scores of photographs, advertisements, and newspaper clippings, the book is both a record and an affectionate reflection on an era characterised by hard work, enterprise, resilience and optimism, and provides a rare glimpse into traditional bakeries where magicians in aprons and baker's caps turned flour, yeast, salt and water into the wonder of bread. Beginning with background about Australia's and Queensland's early bakeries and flour mills, it tells the stories of some of Warwick's remarkable baking pioneers. It also traces the history of Warwick's flour mills and the successive owners of the large bakehouses known to have existed. Woven into these stories are broader events that affected all of Australia (immigration, two world wars, and the Great Depression) and the theme of hope of building a bright and prosperous future through hard work and enterprise. The book includes a list of some 160 owners, bakers, pastrycooks and carters identified as having worked in the trade in Warwick over the century concerned, as well as sections dealing with bread distribution, the bread-making process, ovens and other essential equipment, the role of various baking associations, and the importance of institutions such as the Bread Research Institute in contributing the science that turned baking into the bread manufacturing industry. Useful sources of further information about Warwick's history are also included and some concluding reflections.

Book Synopsis Diver Bill by : Judith Anderson and Tony Kenyon
Download or read book Diver Bill written by Judith Anderson and Tony Kenyon and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winchester Cathedral is over 900 years old. Its pillars and archways stand solid and strong. Yet in 1905, parts of its east end were close to collapse. It needed new foundations, but only a diver could clear the flooded trenches beneath the ancient walls. So William Walker, a deep-sea diver, worked in the murky water for six hours a day, every week, for five and a half years. Along with a Foreword by the Dean of Winchester Cathedral, and diagrams to show how the diver worked beneath the walls, this book’s straightforward text and absorbing illustrations reveal the extraordinary achievement of William Walker, often known as ‘Diver Bill’ – the man who saved Winchester Cathedral with his bare hands.

Book Synopsis Light and Death by : Judith H. Anderson
Download or read book Light and Death written by Judith H. Anderson and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2017-01-02 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Light figures being; darkness, death. Bridging mathematical science, semantics, rhetoric, grammar, and major poems, Judith H. Anderson seeks to negotiate writings from multiple disciplines in the shared terms of poiesis and figuration rather than as cultural opposites. Analogy, a type of metaphor, has always been the connector of the known to the unknown, the sensible to the infinite. Anderson’s study moves from the figuration of light and death to the history of analogy and its pertinence to light in physics and metaphysics, from Kepler to Donne, Spenser, and Milton. Topics proliferate: creativity, optics, the relation of literature to science, the methodology of thought and argument, and the processes of narrative, discovery, and interpretation.

Book Synopsis Reading the Allegorical Intertext by : Judith H. Anderson
Download or read book Reading the Allegorical Intertext written by Judith H. Anderson and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judith H. Anderson conceives the intertext as a relation between or among texts that encompasses both Kristevan intertextuality and traditional relationships of influence, imitation, allusion, and citation. Like the Internet, the intertext is a state, or place, of potential expressed in ways ranging from deliberate emulation to linguistic free play. Relatedly, the intertext is also a convenient fiction that enables examination of individual agency and sociocultural determinism. Anderson’s intertext is allegorical because Spenser’s Faerie Queene is pivotal to her study and because allegory, understood as continued or moving metaphor, encapsulates, even as it magnifies, the process of signification. Her title signals the variousness of an intertext extending from Chaucer through Shakespeare to Milton and the breadth of allegory itself. Literary allegory, in Anderson’s view, is at once a mimetic form and a psychic one—a process thinking that combines mind with matter, emblem with narrative, abstraction with history. Anderson’s first section focuses on relations between Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and Spenser’s The Faerie Queene, including the role of the narrator, the nature of the textual source, the dynamics of influence, and the bearing of allegorical narrative on lyric vision. The second centers on agency and cultural influence in a variety of Spenserian and medieval texts. Allegorical form, a recurrent concern throughout, becomes the pressing issue of section three. This section treats plays and poems of Shakespeare and Milton and includes two intertextually relevant essays on Spenser. How Paradise Lost or Shakespeare’s plays participate in allegorical form is controversial. Spenser’s experiments with allegory revise its form, and this intervention is largely what Shakespeare and Milton find in his poetry and develop. Anderson’s book, the result of decades of teaching and writing about allegory, especially Spenserian allegory, will reorient thinking about fundamental critical issues and the landmark texts in which they play themselves out.

Book Synopsis Assessing 21st Century Skills by : National Research Council
Download or read book Assessing 21st Century Skills written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-10-16 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The routine jobs of yesterday are being replaced by technology and/or shipped off-shore. In their place, job categories that require knowledge management, abstract reasoning, and personal services seem to be growing. The modern workplace requires workers to have broad cognitive and affective skills. Often referred to as "21st century skills," these skills include being able to solve complex problems, to think critically about tasks, to effectively communicate with people from a variety of different cultures and using a variety of different techniques, to work in collaboration with others, to adapt to rapidly changing environments and conditions for performing tasks, to effectively manage one's work, and to acquire new skills and information on one's own. The National Research Council (NRC) has convened two prior workshops on the topic of 21st century skills. The first, held in 2007, was designed to examine research on the skills required for the 21st century workplace and the extent to which they are meaningfully different from earlier eras and require corresponding changes in educational experiences. The second workshop, held in 2009, was designed to explore demand for these types of skills, consider intersections between science education reform goals and 21st century skills, examine models of high-quality science instruction that may develop the skills, and consider science teacher readiness for 21st century skills. The third workshop was intended to delve more deeply into the topic of assessment. The goal for this workshop was to capitalize on the prior efforts and explore strategies for assessing the five skills identified earlier. The Committee on the Assessment of 21st Century Skills was asked to organize a workshop that reviewed the assessments and related research for each of the five skills identified at the previous workshops, with special attention to recent developments in technology-enabled assessment of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. In designing the workshop, the committee collapsed the five skills into three broad clusters as shown below: Cognitive skills: nonroutine problem solving, critical thinking, systems thinking Interpersonal skills: complex communication, social skills, team-work, cultural sensitivity, dealing with diversity Intrapersonal skills: self-management, time management, self-development, self-regulation, adaptability, executive functioning Assessing 21st Century Skills provides an integrated summary of the presentations and discussions from both parts of the third workshop.
