Settlers from Connecticut in Spanish Florida: Letters of Ambrose Hull and Stella Hart 1804-1806

Florida was the northern bastion of Spain’s New World empire from an early period; and, except for brief British possession (1763-1783), the land was hers for almost three hundred years. The era following 1783, when Great Britain returned Florida to Spain, until 1821, when Florida became United States territory, is known as the second Spanish period of Florida history

Mayhem and Murder in the East Florida Frontier 1783-1789

Historians of late eighteenth-century Florida usually distinguish between the British period (1763-1783) and the second Spanish period (1783-1821), a distinction that sometimes obscures the permanence of inhabitants interacting in the region. U.S. historians tend to view Florida history within the context of national politics and the inevitable U.S. acquisition of the territory, a perspective that underplays the importance of the region to frontier and Atlantic world history and minimizes the interpretation that throughout the British and Spanish periods (1763-1821) East Florida was embroiled in regional and Atlantic conflicts. More recently, historians have re-envisioned East Florida history as a sustained struggle for dominance of the frontier among Native Americans, Spanish, British, and U.S. settlers. In East Florida, indigenous and settler communities played a dynamic role in challenging Native American, British, Spanish and U.S. attempts to maintain order along the northeast border of the East Florida frontier.

Master of Arts

thesisHaikai poet Kobayashi Issa (1763-1828) has long been simplistically understood as a modern poet, obscuring the anticanonical aesthetic within his work. In this thesis, the author argues for a poetics of opposition in Issa's work. Through close, comparative readings of Issa and his predecessors, Matsuo Bashō (1644-1694) and Yosa Buson (1716-1783), the author identifies the ways in which Issa's human-centered haikai directly oppose conventional aesthetic expectations

Coleópteros raros e interesantes de la fauna de Cataluña (Scaphidiidae, Lucanidae, Ochodaeidae, Malachiidae, Pyrochroidae, Buprestidae, Anthribidae). Nuevas localidades y protección de sus microhábitats

En las recolecciones de coleópteros realizadas durante los años 2000 y 2001 en Cataluña hemos podido encontrar nuevas localidades de especies poco frecuentes en nuestro medio, y algunas corresponden a familias mal conocidas y poco estudiadas. Se dan nuevas citaciones de especies raras e interesantes como Scaphidium quadrimaculatum Olivier, 1790 (Scaphidiidae); Pseudolucanus barbarossa Fabricius, 1801 (Lucanidae); Ochodaeus inermis Reitter, 1893 (Ochodaeidae); Anthocomus coccineus Schall, 1783 (Malachiidae); Pyrochroa serraticornis Scopoli, 1763 (Pyrochroidae); Buprestis (Yamina) sanguinea Fabricius, 1794 (Buprestidae); Platyrhinus resinosus Scopoli, 1763 y Anthribius albinus Linnaeus, 1758 (Anthribidae). También se hace constar la urgencia de protección del medio y de los micro-hábitats donde viven estos insectos.Rare and interesting Coleoptera in the Catalan fauna (Scaphidiidae, Lucanidae, Ochodaeidae, Malachiidae, Pyrochroidae, Buprestidae, Anthribidae). Localities and the protection of micro-habitats. While collecting Coleoptera during the last two years we have found new localities for species that are uncommon in our environment, some belonging to poorly-known or little-studied families. There are interesting new records of the species Scaphidium quadrimaculatum Olivier 1790, (Scaphidiidae); Pseudolucanus barbarossa Fabricius, 1801, (Lucanidae); Ochodaeus inermis Reitter, 1893, (Ochodaeidae); Anthocomus coccineus Schall, 1783, (Malachiidae); Pyrochroa serraticornis Scopoli, 1763, (Pyrochroidae); Yamina sanguinea Fabricius, 1794, (Buprestidae); Platyrhinus resinosus Scopoli, and Anthribius albinus Linnaeus (Anthribidae). The urgency of protecting the environment and micro-habitats in which these insects live is stressed

Catharine Macaulay’s Republican Conception of Social and Political Liberty

Catharine Macaulay was one of the most significant republican writers of her generation. Although there has been a revival of interest in Macaulay amongst feminists and intellectual historians, neo-republican writers have yet to examine the theoretical content of her work in any depth. Since she anticipates and addresses a number of themes that still preoccupy republicans, this neglect represents a serious loss to the discipline. I examine Macaulay’s conception of freedom, showing how she uses the often misunderstood notion of virtue to reconcile the individual and collective elements inherent in the republican model. In her own analysis of the deep-rooted social obstacles that stand in the way of women becoming free, Macaulay identifies a serious problem that confronts all republicans, namely how to secure freedom in the face of entrenched structural imbalances that systematically disadvantage certain classes of person. In the end, I conclude that Macaulay herself cannot overcome the issues she raises. This in no way diminishes the importance of her work since her diagnosis is as relevant today as in her own time
