Medical and social historians have long been interested in the incidence of malaria, or 'ague' , in the district of eastenl England known as 'F enland' or 'the Fens' a low-lying area of wetland extending over much of northenl Calnbridgeshire, southern Lincolnshire, and the western parts of Suffolk and Norfolk. To SOlneextent, their interest in the disease itself has been secondary to a concern with the Inore lively subject of drug abuse. 1 In the nineteenth century, opiunl eating was sufficiently prevalent in this district though by no nleans unique to it to attract the particular attention of llloral COlllmentators and social reformers. In the words of one contemporary, 'there is not a labourer's house without its pelmy stick or pill of opium' .2 The drug was used recreationally; it was regularly given to infants to keep them quiet while their nl0thers worked in the fields; and it was taken to dull the pain and alleviate the tediulll associated with heavy field work. However OpiUIll was also used to treat the synlptoms of lllalaria and lllodern historians, like the nineteenth-century conl1nentators, broadly agree that it had first come into general use for this purpose. Initially, OpiUIllhad been imbibed in the fOlm of 'Poppytea' or shnilar hOllle-Inade preparations and in the early nineteenth century it was said that 'a patch of white poppies was usually found in IllOst of the cottage gardens' .3 But in the middle and later decades of the century cOllllnercial opium and various opiunl preparations becaille available from urban chelllists, to be widely consumed.

The rural dinlensions of health and health care renlain a relatively neglected research area. English-language general texts rarely address the subject, with few detailed studies, and a recent historiographical review suggests that this is also broadly the case for France and GelTIlany.l Although relevant and cOluparative, work on the 'tuedical enlightenment' and on public health has not directly addressed health care in the countryside.2 This paper considers changing perceptions, particularly tuedical views, of rural environtuents, populations and associated health needs, offering brief sketches of rural case examples at the provincial, county or departnlental level. The approach reflects the available secondary literature for Britain, France, Gerinany, Iny own research and that of contributing colleagues. It recognises that various national perspectives luay lead to over-generalisation and ignore significant diversity, but that local studies can be too narrow to generalise frOlUand vulnerable to the distortions of specific, even chance circumstances.

On the eve of revolution Josiah Quincy Jr., both on the advice of his doctor and in order to satisfy his own curiosity, departed Massachusetts and for several months integrated himself amongst South Carolina's ruling elite. Rubbing elbows in the spring of 1773 with the wealthiest gentry in North America, the visiting Bostonian was struck that 'in grandeur, splendour. . .in almost everything, [Charleston] far surpasses all I ever saw, or expected to see, in America' . Quincy also left with the opinion that this opulent world governed by 'lordly planters' was a haven where 'cards, dice, the bottle and horses engross prodigious portions of time and attention', and whose 'gentlemen ... are mostly men of the turf and gamesters'. Indeed, the enormous fiscal prosperity and notorious leisured excesses of the lowcountry's elite rarely escaped the commentary of contemporary visitors and inhabitants alike. Nor have the subjects suffered a lack of scholarship by modem historians. However, it was Quincy's observations of a great number of blacks playing English games of chance in Charleston and that Sundays were generally a day of 'license, pastime and frolic for the negroes' which warrants closer attention. While the urban leisure habits of blacks may very well have come as a mild shock to the visiting northerner, they had been in reality a long-standing facet of everyday life in Carolina.I

Race, religion, and revolt dominated the history of Puerto Rico. After Christopher Columbus discovered the island in 1493 colonisation by the Spanish occurred in earnest in 1506. With the Spanish came Catholicism and disease. The latter decimated the ranks of the native Indians, and African slaves replaced them beginning in 1508. The island sustained attacks by the English and the Dutch over the next two centuries and island residents had revolted against their Spanish masters by 1848. Spain abolished slavery in 1873, and granted Puerto Ricans their independence in 1897. Unfortunately for the islanders the U.S.S. Maine exploded in Havana, Cuba only five days after the establishment of the provisional cabinet. 1

In 1989 the historian Christopher Hill wondered why the North of England, with all its apparent cultural, social and geographical distinctiveness, had never achieved a separate state or even seen the formation of a 'northern separatist movement' .1 Although the broader questions of the historical development of the North of England are beyond our immediate scope, this paper does seek to shed light on the question of Northern English identity through the medium of the quintessentially Northern English cultural experience of the annual Rugby League Challenge Cup Final atWembley stadium where between 1929 to 1999, tens of thousands of people from Cumberland, Lancashire and Yorkshire travelled down to London to watch the final of the Rugby League Challenge Cup, traditionally on the first Saturday of May. It was a unique event in British sport.

Introduction The defining feature of the scale of regional development of the British film industry since 2000 has been the emergence of a different kind of institutional intervention geared towards nurturing regional film industries and regional film cultures. This article looks at the regional screen agencies (RSAs) established in the English regions following the Film Councils review of film industry in England, and considers the reasons behind their creation and their functions. Though these developments have yet to yield long-term results to the British film industry, they indicate that the traditional core-periphery model of the film industry is being superseded by a new hierarchical relationship between different spatial scales and a new competitive relationship between institutions at the same scale.
