abstract:On 23 July 1866 a protest took place in Hyde Park, London, which provides a lens through which to analyze historical struggles over access to, and control of, public space. What began as a protest in favor of manhood suffrage became a conflict over the character and purpose of the park. It sparked public debates about which groups of people could access Hyde Park, and what activities were acceptable within it. These debates raise questions about who was entitled to make such decisions and the impact of these decisions on London's radical culture. This article uses newspaper articles and parliamentary debates to explore the dispute that unfolded both before and after the Hyde Park Railings Affair. In doing so, it furthers our understanding of the geographies of protest and the ongoing negotiation of public space.

abstract:By 1910 lumber companies had stripped the Great Lakes states of their white pines, leaving behind a forty-million-acre expanse that came to be known as the "cutover." Business interests, university scientists, and state governments worked aggressively to redevelop this land for crop agriculture. A key challenge was ridding the land of stumps. Especially after the First World War, explosives were touted as a ready means of converting cutover scrub land to crop acreage, thus building instant equity for the farmer. This study focuses on Wisconsin, whose drive for land clearing was the most far-reaching. From 1919 to 1928 the University of Wisconsin College of Agriculture distributed nearly nineteen million pounds of war-surplus explosives to farmers. Michigan, Minnesota, and states in the American South and West did likewise, for a nationwide total exceeding sixty-three million pounds. A massive public relations campaign urged plowmen to clear as many acres as possible, and journalists at all levels signed on to promote cutover farming. However, explosives often proved dangerous in untrained hands, and the hoped-for agricultural bonanza never materialized. As crop prices slumped in the 1920s, submarginal acres were taken out of production, and the ethos of "land clearing" was replaced with one of multifaceted "land use."

Th ey also, however, felt the Breaks’ “visionary inchantment [sic]” just as we did (159). Moulton’s words deepened the Breaks’ sense of place through off ering remembrance of things past. With such temporal awareness came fuller satisfaction— and thus Moulton helped me hear the richness of the Sirens’ song.
