combination of unemployment, drug and alcohol abuse, crime and casual street violence made Glasgow the most dangerous city in Britain – some achievement, given that it sustained its reputation in the 1960s against competition from cities under military occupation such as Belfast and (London)Derry. Even attempts at urban regeneration produced ironic effects: the festering Victorian tenements cleared from Gorbals in the 1950s left behind wastelands, while what replaced them on other urban sites in the 1960s, modern high-rises, ‘cities in the sky’ designed by Basil Spence
[Germany]’ (B2 b ). 30 Peter McCullough notes in his essay ‘Donne and Court Chaplaincy’ that ‘the effort that James put into creating Donne [royal chaplain and doctor of divinity], and in such rapid succession, is without precedent in the period as an example of royal promotion of a clerical career. […] Donne went from laity to clergy, from no degree to doctorate, from unemployment to royal chaplaincy, in no more than a few weeks’.

unemployment, waiting for something to turn up at the RSC and intense internal competition – and to establish a regular presence in the male-dominated company’ (Chambers, Inside 67). From 1967 to 1972 Goodbody worked with Barton and others on small-scale touring productions that operated under the umbrella of Theatregoround, as well as acting as assistant director on the Romans cycle in 1972; she also
deprivation has to do with the shepherds’ current situations in life; Hobbinol has employment and Colin seeks it (1, 18, glosses). In the world the poem constructs, however, this ‘situation or place’ is spatial and experiential. Colin’s central problem is the failure of his poetry, whether this is due to lovesickness, politics or unemployment. ‘June’ transforms this literary problem into a set of symptoms in Colin’s body and an incongruity with his surroundings. Colin inhabits the type of setting I call an ‘emotionally inaccessible

But Day at least
modern London. 95 Particularly weavers were active in riots during the upheavals of the 1590s, caused by explosive inflation, unemployment, and discontent about the increasing enclosure of pasture lands. 96 The series of harvest failures that exacerbated the catastrophic economic situation of these years is hinted at in the lines describing the marital dissent between the fairy rulers, which has
easy to look for connections between the socio-historical context of the film’s creation and the time and place specified in the narrative. Like the problems caused by Civil War gunmen, who needed to be disbanded and persuaded to go back to a civilian life, late 1940s America was haunted by anxieties of poverty and unemployment, but also by a need to return to a peaceful and civilised existence within a human community. It is no accident that in the film we learn about each character in turn that they come from good families, and that it was only fate and the war
Romeo + Juliet (1996), an opportunity that must be the secret fantasy of all Shakespeare tutors. The version is as much of its time as the others, this time showing a 1990s youth subculture based on the availability of drugs and guns, idleness enforced by unemployment, a society marked by callous indifference to emotions, contrasted with eruptions of manufactured festivity and spectacle like a
