Manuscript Copy

This chapter begins by introducing the most significant features of Scottish literary manuscript miscellanies, such as: their relatively late date, in comparison with surviving miscellanies from elsewhere in the British Isles; their copying by scribes who also functioned as notary publics, writers to the signet, and merchants; their links to some of Scotland’s most prominent book-owning families; and their inclusion of material derived from print and from south of the border. The remainder of the chapter offers a necessarily brief case study of one particular Older Scots literary manuscript miscellany (Cambridge, University Library, MS Kk.1.5) in which the Older Scots romance, Lancelot of the Laik, is placed alongside a selection of Scottish courtesy texts and legal material, a series of English and Scottish prophecies, several acts of the Scottish parliament, an English translation of Christine de Pisan’s Livre du Corps de Policie, and the only surviving manuscript copy of Sir Philip Sidney’s New Arcadia.

National Perspective

The history of the music hall has for the most part been written as the history of the London halls. In Dagmar Kift's book, The Victorian Music Hall and Working-Class Culture (the German edition of which was reviewed in NTQ 35, and which is due to appear in English from Cambridge University Press), she attempts to redress the balance by setting music-hall history within a national perspective. Arguing that between the 1840s and the 1890s the halls catered to a predominantly working-class and lower middle-class audience of both sexes and all ages, she views them as instrumental in giving these classes a strong and self-confident identity. The sustaining by the halls of such a distinct class-awareness was one of their greatest strengths – but was also at the root of many of the controversies which surrounded them. The music-hall image of the working class – with its sexual and alcohol-oriented hedonism, its ridicule of marriage, and its acceptance of women and young people as partners in work as in leisure – was in marked contrast to most so-called Victorian values. The following case study from Glasgow documents the shift of music-hall opposition in the 1870s away from teetotallers of all classes attacking alcohol consumption towards middle-class social reformers objecting to the entertainment itself. Dagmar Kift, who earlier published an essay on the composition of music-hall audiences in Music Hall: the Business of Pleasure (Open University Press), is curator of the Westphalian Industrial Museum in Dortmund.

How to effectively bring leadership to bear in teamwork as a leader is something that requires constant reflection. This is also the case in the sports industry. Based on the author's understanding of leadership theory for the application of leadership, leadership is not a separate field, but requires a continuous integration of multiple disciplines. Or more precisely, leadership for sustainability – is not a separate school of leadership thought, but a particular blend of leadership characteristics applied within a definitive context. The Cambridge University Sustainability Leadership Institute offers a definition of sustainability leaders suggesting they are individuals who are compelled to make a difference by deepening their awareness of themselves in relation to the world around them. In doing so, they adopt new ways of seeing, thinking and interacting that result in innovative sustainable solutions. This would suggest that sustainability leadership is implicitly about creating change. The purpose of this study is to describe, critically analyse, two challenges faced by leaders in the sports business and management industry. The two greatest challenges for leaders in sports business and management, are that they are caught up with the risks of failure, rather than the requirements of success, Plus they are only concerned with getting rid of the things that bind them that they don't want. Instead of expanding what could be helpful for them. This study uses a case study approach to analyses and illustrate in detail the leadership challenges in the sports industry, ultimately using the sports industry as a small point to reflect in a diffuse manner that as a leader, one must be brave and positive when faced with challenges and constantly change to seize opportunities, thus demonstrating the continued significance and transformational appeal of sustainable leadership. This paper discusses in depth and ultimately concludes that for leaders facing challenges, they should not be afraid of them, but should seize them as an opportunity to improve themselves and make what may be a weak predicament into a strong strength in themselves. Turning weaknesses into strengths and developing yourself as a leader with advantages.
