Unlike Truman, however, Harry has been very aware of the cameras, the press interest, and the story line as it’s played out. I understand why Harry feels a kinship with the 1998 Peter Weir psycho-comedy’s protagonist, the Jim Carrey character whose belated discovery that his entire world has been faked, filmed, and broadcast to the public upends his life and tanks his sanity. But there’s a big difference between being a sponge and being prohibited from learning independence.” (Once, at Eton, on a theater trip.) Sponge, the papers called me. “I’d been forced into this surreal state,” Harry writes, “this unending Truman Show in which I almost never carried money, never owned a car, never carried a house key, never once ordered anything online, never received a single box from Amazon, almost never traveled on the Underground. A recurring motif of the book’s second section is the solace he finds in rewatching Friends as he does his laundry. Elsewhere, he shows familiarity with an array of American cartoons, from Family Guy to Johnny Bravo. But as the memoir reaches its emotional height-Harry contemplates life on his own in California with Meghan Markle-he draws a similarity between his life and another ’90s pop-culture favorite. If Prince Harry manages to leave just one surprising impression of royal life in his memoir, Spare, it’s that he seemingly had tons of time to watch movies and TV. In this first “classic work episode,” Ken Owen, Michael Hattem, Roy Rogers, and Mark Boonshoft revisit Bernard Bailyn’s The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution. This month, we introduce a new format for occasional episodes focused on classic works in the field of early American history. 12: Bailyn, Ideological Origins of the American Revolution 17: Morgan’s American Slavery, American Freedom 18: The Coming of the American Revolution 1: The “Originality Crisis” in American Revolution Scholarship? 25: Political Violence in Early America, Part I 26: Political Violence in Early America, Part II Parties and family gatherings supplied her with much Civil War history that she would later use in the writing of Gone with the Wind. She enjoyed discovering the history of Atlanta and Peachtree Street, where she lived. She had an enduring connection and great love for Atlanta. From an early age, Margaret took an interest in Atlanta’s history and the Civil War. She wrote and produced plays and cast herself and her friends in the parts. Margaret enjoyed writing stories and plays and relished in the telling of her tales. She would gather her friends around her as she told them tales. Margaret was a writer from the time she could hold a pencil and a storyteller almost as soon as she could talk. Margaret Munnerlyn Mitchell was born on Novemin Atlanta, Georgia where she lived all of her life. She said that if her novel, Gone with the Wind, had a theme it was survival, “I wrote about the people who had gumption and the people who didn’t.” Margaret Mitchell admired people who had gumption, people who fought their way through hard times triumphantly and came out survivors. “I wanted to go inside the wooden buildings meant to conjure the street of a village,” she says, of a ballet performance. Her bone-clean prose creates a sense of immersion in a story that feels both mythic and true. You get the sense that our author, as well as our heroine, is aware of the limits of words the visual is conjured as much by what is absent. Cain's bone-clean prose creates a sense of immersion in a story that feels both mythic and trueĪs for the paintings themselves, Indelicacy is ekphrastic, but sparingly so. She stands in front of a painting for a long time and refuses to move when a man clears his throat. She goes to the ballet and experiences the “calm sense that I belonged there”. It is only when she marries a wealthy man that she is – at least initially – liberated. At the museum she is rendered invisible by her class: she scrubs the floor while seeking to understand the works on the walls.

Cain is interested in the act of looking versus being looked at. Polyester, which is usually derived from petroleum, is the world’s most consumed textile fibre, yet recycled polyester only contributes to 15% of total production, almost all of which is made from plastic bottles.Ī major barrier to recycling polyester fabric is the presence of dyes, which makes fibre-to-fibre recycling almost impossible. Each year the fund awards £1 million to pioneering projects that are working to create a circular economy – one which eliminates waste and pollution, circulates products and materials, and regenerates nature. The Circular Future Fund is an initiative run by John Lewis Partnership in partnership with environmental charity Hubbub. The prize will allow Leeds researchers to further explore the creation of a circular economy for polyester and the ability to recycle it, as well as assessing the economic and environmental benefits of what has been dubbed the “polyester-infinity loop”. A ground-breaking project to develop a new polyester dyeing technology has beaten more than 240 projects in a competition to win a share of the Circular Future Fund.
