Formative Years

Rosi's cinematic sensibility was influenced by his father's photography and sketching, his formative years he spent in Naples, and his apprenticeship with Visconti. La sfida (The Challenge, 1958), his debut work, which shows great affinity with the work of Cartier-Bresson, announces Rosi's future themes: the seductions and traps of power, the collusion between organized crime and business, the harsh social reality of Italy's South. His second, more ambitious work, I magliari (The Swindlers, 1959), is one of the first Italian films confronting the cultural and ethnic issues arising from southern Italian emigration. The film, which alternates documentary-like scenes with popular Italian comedy, is enhanced by the location shooting that will become a hallmark of Rosi's cinema. Rosi departs from the overly melodramatic style of La sfida and develops an aesthetic characterized by a realist exactness of space and penchant for exploring psychological states of mind.

Merchant Community

The social reality of the merchant community of King’s Lynn played an integral role in the formation of Margery Kempe’s self-image throughout her life. In her young-formative years, Lynn’s merchant elite imparted personal, commercial, ethical, and religious values. As the daughter of John Brunham, one of the most influential members of Lynn’s elite, the merchant community also provided Margery with status, security, comfort, and self-worth. Even in her later years as Margery formulated her holy self-image as she questioned, and eventually rejected, the role imposed on her by Lynn’s merchant culture as the daughter of Brunham and wife of John Kempe, she continued to identify herself through that culture. When asked by the mayor of Leicester in 1416 or 1417 to identify herself, Margery confidently replied, “Sir, I am of Lynn of Norfolk, a good man’s daughter of the same Lynn, who had been mayor five time of that worshipful borough and alderman also many years, and I have a good man, also a burgess of the said town, Lynn, as my husband.”

Formative Years

Harry Dean Stanton spent early formative years in West Irvine in central Kentucky, a land explored by Daniel Boone, torn by the Civil War, long dependent on tobacco, textiles, and for a time oil, first carried to markets by flatboats and later by railroad. Sheridan "Shorty" Stanton was a North Carolinian who grew tobacco and operated a barbershop. The much younger Ersel Moberly married him at least in part to get away from her crowded household only to find herself soon in another with three strapping boys and later Shorty's two daughters from an earlier marriage. It would be too much, and she abandoned the family, leaving a nearly lifelong legacy of tension in her relationship with her oldest son, Harry Dean. However, he inherited from her and his father's family a love of music, expressed in his early years in a barbershop quartet that included his brothers. After a disastrous stint down in Shorty's native North Carolina, the family returned to Kentucky, this time to the city of Lexington, where Harry Dean would attend high school and after military service college. By that time, Ersel had left, and Shorty was barbering fulltime.

A question often asked is, "What factors in the child's formative years are most important in helping him to grow into an effective adult?" We wonder about the importance of such things as his home, his parents, his health, the type of school he attends, and his intellectual curiosity as either a help or a hindrance to his development. Seeking those factors whose presence or absence in the child's early years may lead to fame or to infamy, the Illingworths have read biographies of and autobiographies about 450 men and women described in their book, whose lives spanned the centuries from Socrates to Heinrich Himmler.

Formative Years

Frederick Soddy was a complex personality and if we are to arrive at any degree of understanding of its aspects, I believe we have to give more than usual place to the background of his early life. It has been my conception of his life that there was really four chapters in it— To 1900—his formative years, From 1900 to 1911—Montreal and the disintegration theory, From 1912 to 1918—Glasgow and isotopes, Onwards from 1919—Oxford and his social outlook. His Formative Years Soddy’s father was a relatively successful corn merchant who was 55 years old when Frederick was born, the seventh and last child. His father retained the inherited family tradition of deep religious feeling, consistently and regularly shown by public worship. Soddy’s grandfather had aspirations to be a missionary to the South Sea Islanders and had sailed for the Antipodes only to be captured by a French privateer in the year 1798. Calvinistic sermons, to which he was compelled to listen, made a deep impression on Soddy’s memories of his boyhood. These sermons were always extreme in their views and practically always contained dire threats of what might follow any tendency to leanings towards the Catholic Faith. Soddy disagreed with those views very deeply, but for understanding him it should be remembered that he was brought up in this family tradition stemming from his grandfather’s time and in his own case, from his childhood. An ‘evangel’ of some sort was a usual and not a rare guest in the household. And so in the approach he was liable to make to things in general, I have regarded his basic method of going hard at an idea without regard to the finer feelings of others, as being to a considerable extent derived from the atmosphere of family Galvinistic outlook to which he was accustomed in his early years. Truth as it was conceived was the essential thing. The method of its presentation, even at the expense of other people’s feelings, was unimportant.

J. G. Ballard was one of the most original writers of the postwar era. Although he has drawn considerable attention from scholars across various fields, the character of his political thinking remains a puzzle. He has been claimed as both a radical and a conservative, while others suggest that his work expresses no distinct political stance. Drawing on a wide range of source materials, I argue that from the 1960s to the early years of the twenty-first century Ballard developed a bold and intriguing account of liberalism grounded in insights drawn from surrealism and Freudian psychoanalysis. This was an idiosyncratic version of the liberalism of fear. The essay analyzes Ballard’s sociopolitical vision, focusing in particular on his account of human nature, social reality, totalitarianism, and the power of the imagination.

Examines Crow’s early years and family background to give insight into the formative process by which he became politicised and developed the strong and forceful personality he became known for and by which he pursued his political agenda. Thus, considers influence of his father and his politics as well as how Crow choose to take on board these influences in a certain way (by contrast with his brother). There were also significant turning points in Crow’s life that explain why he became the person he did. The most obvious one concerns his sense of being picked upon at work when he was just nineteen because this opened him up to a personal first experience of a workplace union from which he never looked back. The chapter details his lower level union involvement before becoming a player on the national scene of the RMT.

Kecia Ali has performed a great service for Islamic studies by harmonizingearly sources with the most compelling recent scholarship to produce a biographyof Muhammad ibn Idris al-Shafi‘i (d. 204/820), one of Islam’s mostimportant figures. His life is presented in a tightly organized and lucid way,accessible to non-specialists or undergraduates, useful for graduate students,and a fine source of reference for scholars.This book consists of an introduction and six chapters. The first chaptercovers his early years in Arabia, and the second discusses his transformationfrom “Student to Shaykh.” Chapters 3 through 5 present al-Shafi‘i’s legal theories and methodologies, and chapter 6, the final chapter, studies the popularcult that has grown up around him, thus delivering on the title’s promise.Also included are three pages of suggested “Further Reading,” along withwhy these works are pertinent, an invaluable extra measure that students willfind particularly helpful. Needless to say, the bibliography is long and rich,giving a final affirmation to the author’s mastery of her subject.Throughout her study, Ali exhibits an acute awareness of the ideologicalagendas of the early biographers who have shaped perceptions of the imam.Her critical approach to traditional reports concerning his formative years (theoft-referenced Bedouin years, for example) allows her to question withoutdiscarding altogether some of the more famous episodes in his life. She ultimatelysuggests that what is most crucial for our understanding of al-Shafi‘i’sdevelopment was his encounter with Malik and his thought, an engagementso deep that he almost certainly had to have spent at least ten years under theelder scholar’s tutelage. These critical years laid the groundwork for thescholar he would become ...
