Edmund

In Search of England's Lost King

By: Francis Young

What buried secret lies beneath the stones of one of England's greatest former churches and shrines? The ruins of the Benedictine Abbey of Bury St Edmunds are a memorial to the largest Romanesque church ever built. This Suffolk market town is now a quiet place, out of the way, eclipsed by its more famous neighbour Cambridge. But present obscurity may conceal a find as significant as the emergence from beneath a Leicester car-park of the remains of Richard III. For Bury, as Francis Young now reveals, is the probable site of the body - placed in an `iron chest' but lost during the Dissolution of the Monasteries - of Edmund: martyred monarch of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of East Anglia and, well before St George, England's first patron saint. After the king was slain by marauding Vikings in the ninth century, the legend which grew up around his murder led to the foundation in Bury of one of the pre-eminent shrines of Christendom. In showing how Edmund became the pivotal figure around whom Saxons, Danes and Normans all rallied, the author points to the imminent rediscovery of the ruler who created England.

American Indian Treaties

The History of a Political Anomaly

By: Francis Paul Prucha

American Indian affairs are much in the public mind today—hotly contested debates over such issues as Indian fishing rights, land claims, and reservation gambling hold our attention. While the unique legal status of American Indians rests on the historical treaty relationship between Indian tribes and the federal government, until now there has been no comprehensive history of these treaties and their role in American life. Francis Paul Prucha, a leading authority on the history of American Indian affairs, argues that the treaties were a political anomaly from the very beginning. The term "treaty" implies a contract between sovereign independent nations, yet Indians were always in a position of inequality and dependence as negotiators, a fact that complicates their current attempts to regain their rights and tribal sovereignty. Prucha's impeccably researched book, based on a close analysis of every treaty, makes possible a thorough understanding of a legal dilemma whose legacy is so palpably felt today.

Renewing Education

Selected Writings

By: Francis Edmunds

Having taught for nearly 30 years in Britain's first Rudolf Steiner school, Francis Edmunds founded Emerson College, an adult education and teacher training center where he was active until his death in 1989. This book contains a collection of Edmunds' writings on Steiner education mostly excerpted from "Child and Man,""The Michael Hall Journal," and "Tomorrow's Agriculture." Whether the subject is educational principles or classroom activity, child development, the teacher's role, or individual subjects, Edmunds worked from the premise that "Education should be the greatest art of all." Essays include "The Call,""Questions from Mexico on Rudolf Steiner Education,""Eight Years with the Same Class Teacher,""Religion, Art, and Science,""Feeling in the Growing Child,""The Death of Baldur and the Festival of Resurrection,""Animal Teaching in the Fourth Class,""The First Approach to Physics,""The Teaching of Religion at a Rudolf Steiner School,""The School Leaving Age," and "Teacher, Doctor and Farmer." Also included is a preface by John Thomson. (MLH)
