Renaissance in England is frequently referred to as the „Golden Age”, but despite countless innovative views and ideas, many aspects of social life did not develop simultaneously. The analysis of the 16th-century courtesy books for women enables readers to have a closer look at the Renaissance ideal of a perfect woman and the upbringing process, to which she was subjected in order to reach perfection. The most valued traits, defined mainly by men, still did not let women free themselves from stiff etiquette rules imposed on them several centuries earlier. While a man was spreading his Renaissance wings, a woman was silently staring at the ground beneath her feet.

England's increasing housing affordability problem, widely described as a 'housing crisis', has become a major public and political concern in recent years. The proportion of social housing has been shrinking for 40 years but there is no political appetite - at least under the current government - to reverse this. Policies are instead addressed at making some private housing more affordable and at increasing access to owner occupation by allowing more social tenants to buy their homes. The government has increased its control over the financial affairs of social landlords, who are responding by concentrating on those areas of activity where control is less stringent.

The article contains characteristics of the fourteen professors who gained their appointment to the Regius Chair of Civil Law in Oxford and Cambridge in the 18th century. Their academic careers as well as their many out-of-academia duties are described in the article. The analyses of the collected materials allowed the author to assert that the condition of teaching Roman law in the 18th-century England resembled the general crises of the university education in England in the aforementioned epoch. For most of the lecturers the academic posts were more or less sinecures that provided a social prestige and honourable social position. Only the late 18th century brought some changes in the methods of teaching Roman law and in the appointments of the professors. To a fuller extent these changes could not be observed to bring expected effects before the mid-19th century.

The article presents the results of research dedicated to the content analysis of standards for professional training of political scientists in the higher education system of England and Wales. The materials highlighting certain aspects of the legal provision of professional training in the field of political science have been examined. The in-depth analysis of standards for professional training of bachelors in political science, elaborated by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education, has been carried out. Basic principles and essence of political science, requirements for professional competences of political scientists, forms of teaching, learning and assessment that are relevant in the study of political science have been reviewed. Standards for training political scientists at the universities of England and Wales are set out in the document called “Subject Benchmark Statement for Politics and International Relations”. The document focuses on two main features of political science – diversity and opportunity, which are reflected in the multiplicity and breadth of the defining principles, nature and extent of subject and skills acquisition. Since this discipline is closely connected with other humanitarian and social sciences such as law, economics, geography, sociology, history, cultural studies, literature, philosophy, the interdisciplinary nature of political science is emphasized. The document focuses on professional competences of political scientists, rather than curriculum content. Bachelors in political science should develop competences which are divided into three categories: 1) subject knowledge and understanding, 2) generic intellectual skills and 3) personal transferable skills. Plurality of political science should be reflected in the plurality of educational technologies used for teaching this discipline. The dominant forms of teaching are lectures and seminars, but workshops, whole group, small group and individual teaching, student-led and tutor-led sessions, skill-based, discussion-based and knowledge-based classes are widely used by universities. The effectiveness of the learning process is greatly enhanced through the use of computer technologies, so many universities in England and Wales carry out studies using a virtual learning environment.

Godric of Finchale (c. 1070/1080) was born into a peasant family in Walpole in East Anglia. He was a merchant who achieved great economic success and became a rich man. His economic career lasted for about 16 years. During this time, he made his way from a beachcomber to a merchant owning shares in two merchant ships. At the end of the 12th century, Reginald of Durham wrote Libellus de vita et miraculis S. Godrici de Finchale. In it, he focused not only on the hermit stage of Godric’s life, but also described a period in which he was a very successful and affluent merchant. In this essay, based on Reginald’s account, I analyze the successive stages of Godric’s economic career and reassess the current views of researchers on Godric’s life. In addition, I supplement them with so far undeveloped topics, such as the description of Godric’s place of birth, and the analysis of the function of bailiff, which was exercised by Godric. At the end of the essay, I also try to answer the question: to what extent was Godric’s career unique at the turn of the 11th and 12th centuries?

Based on a study of Polish migrants living in England and Scotland, this paper explores how Polish families who have decided to bring up their children in the UK make initial school choices. The Polish parents taking part in our study generally had low levels of social and cultural capital (Bourdieu 1986) upon arrival in the UK: they had limited networks (predominantly bonding capital) (Putnam 2000) and a poor command of English, and lacked basic knowledge of the British education system. Meanwhile, this is a highly complex system, very much different from the Polish one; moreover, school choice plays a much more important role within the UK system, especially at the level of secondary education. We found that while some parents acted as ‘disconnected choosers’ (Gewirtz, Ball, Bowe 1995) following the strategy they would use in Poland and simply enrolling their children in the nearest available school, others attempted to make an informed choice. In looking for schools, parents first and foremost turned to co-ethnic networks for advice and support; nevertheless, parents who attempted to make an informed choice typically lacked ‘insider knowledge’ and often held misconceptions about the British education system. The one feature of the system Polish parents were very much aware of, however, was the existence of Catholic schools; therefore, religious beliefs played a key role in school choice among Polish parents (with some seeking and others avoiding Catholic schools). The ‘active choosers’ also made choices based on first impressions and personal beliefs about what was best for their child (e.g. in terms of ethnic composition of the school) or allowed their children to make the choice. Parents of disabled children were most restricted in exercising school choice, as only certain schools cater for complex needs. All in all, the Polish parents in our sample faced similar barriers to BME (Black Minority Ethnic) parents in exercising school choice in the UK and, regardless of their own levels of education, their school selection strategies resembled those of the British working class rather than of the middle class. However, the risk of ‘bad’ initial school choice may be largely offset by a generally strong preference for Catholic schools and parents’ high educational ambitions for their children.

This article is both a thread and a complementation of the issues surrounding programmes of Aleksander Bregman entitled “Kaleidoscope”, broadcast in 1960–1966 by the Munich–based station of Radio Free Europe. The overall subject of the programmes, as well as the precise delineation of relations between politics and media and society have been undertaken in separate papers; however, the course and evaluation of the integration process of the old continent’s western part in Bregman’s commentaries, deserves an individual consideration. Several reasons dictate that it should be so. Primarily, the complexity of this subject matter should be emphasised. The author of “Kaleidoscope” perceived the unification of Western Europe in several aspects, therefore the structure of the text should incorporate, albeit setting it apart, Bregman’s personal and subjective impressions, associated with his stay in Brussels and the observation of Union institutions at work. These were delivered to the listeners in a series of special programmes in the shape of objective accounts, which explained formal decisions taken by governing bodies of individual states. At the time, Bregman lived in London, therefore the attitudes of the government and society of Great Britain occupied a particular place in his programmes, as did the assessment of the Whitehall’s standpoint and decisions among the member states.“Kaleidoscope” was typified by a tremendously broad thematic scope in terms of issues addressed by the author. One of the most important among those which interested him was the aforementioned issue of the run of integration processes in the early 1960s, with particular emphasis on the initial solicitation and accession talks of the Brits with the states of “the six”. This thread, being the chief subject of this paper, is nevertheless extended to include the standpoint of other member of the British Commonwealth on Britain’s attempts do join the Common Market. Also, the then situation within the Commonwealth as well as the further expediency of its existence has been analysed. The commentaries of A. Bregman concerning the general operation of the authorities in Brussels, have been discussed separately.

The article shows the Bohemian lands in the 17th century as mediated by travelogues of English provenance, in particular travel diaries written both for personal use only and to be later published. Attention is mainly focused on the religious situation in Bohemia and Moravia and its transformation in the studied period in the context of the denomination of the English visitors. The paper further briefly describes individual travellers from England, who would come to the European continent for various reasons and would also visit the Kingdom of Bohemia as part of this trip.

From the very beginning of the concept of sustainable development education is seen as a necessary condition to achieving it. Adopted at the highest international level obligations for implementation of ESD cover specific indications as to the objectives, tasks, methods and groups and areas of impact. Currently, the realization of EZR should be based on the guidelines set out by the UN Decade for ESD (2005–2014) coordinated by UNESCO and UNECE Strategy for ESD. The school is particularly important place for the implementation of education. In this article an attempt was made to describe the characteristics of effective education for sustainable development in formal education on the basis of the guidelines contained in the latest documents and the results of research carried out in Poland and the UK.

Od samego początku powstania koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju edukacja jest postrzegana jako konieczny warunek do jej osiągnięcia. Przyjęte na najwyższym, międzynarodowym szczeblu zobowiązania do realizacji edukacji dla zrównoważonego rozwoju (EZR) zawierają konkretne zalecenia co do celów, zadań, metod oraz grup i obszarów oddziaływania. Obecnie realizacja EZR powinna opierać się na wytycznych określonych dla wdrażania, przyjętej przez ONZ, a koordynowanej przez UNESCO, Dekady EZR (2005–2014) oraz zawartych w Strategii Edukacji dla Zrównoważonego Rozwoju Europejskiej Komisji Gospodarczej ONZ. Szczególnie ważnym miejscem wdrażania edukacji jest szkoła. W niniejszym artykule została podjęta próba określenia, na podstawie wytycznych zawartych w najnowszych dokumentach obligujących do wdrażania EZR oraz wyników badań prowadzonych w Polsce i w Wielkiej Brytanii, charakterystyki skutecznej edukacji dla zrównoważonego rozwoju w edukacji szkolnej.

The article discusses a variety of opinions related to the first English translation of Adam Mickiewicz’s poem Pan Tadeusz published in 1885 by Maud Ashurt Biggs (1857-1933). The main point for the author is to analyse the scope of the Polish critics’ opinions and attitudes towards this translation. Some of them were issued by well-known experts in literary translation at the time (for example Stanisław Tarnowski), as well as critics who regularly published notes on British literature and culture in Polish periodicals (Edmund Naganowski). The article points out that the translation of Pan Tadeusz triggered neither numerous, nor enthusiastic reviews; it did, however, contribute to the publication of several interesting reflections related to poetry translation.

Faith institutions play a vital role in shaping social structure, social capital and social cohesion. Both religious and citizenship education can contribute to making good citizens. The latter is more political oriented, while the former is focused on faith, spirituality and morality. The English model of religious education is oriented towards a multi-faith dialogue, without the aspects of worship and confession. The phenomenological approach assures that every child, regardless of their religious background, is obligated to attend religious education. Today, the UK is facing many challenges, including secularization and cultural differentiation of the society. Thus, the educational institutions revise curricula and aims of learning. The aim of the paper is to present and analyze the main premises of educational policy in the context of religious education in public schools in England. I will also attempt to reconstruct the social and political ongoing debate on the aims of RE.

This paper argues that early modern English utopias in general, and Joseph Hall’s Mundus alter et idem (1605/1606) in particular, engage in the contemporary debate on cross-dressing. After a look at the problem of early modern cross-dressing, the paper introduces Hall’s work, together with some of the opinions about it. Out of the four books of the work, only the second part (the description of Viraginia/Shee-landt) is discussed here in detail, since it abounds in instances of cross-dressing and related phenomena (for example, sexual licence and hermaphroditism). In my reading, Hall’s work readily joins the ongoing debate, but because of its masterful rhetorical strategies and its satirical perspective, the text poses a great challenge if one tries to accurately identify its position in that debate. Yet the text and some of Hall’s other works testify to a serious interest in cross-dressing and other gender-related issues.

This article is based on long-term field research in an Eastern Slovak Romani settlement and an English town to which Roma migrated from the settlement. The paper attempts to disrupt the bipolar approach toward the migration of Roma to England and, at the same time, to point out the transnational interconnectedness of the Romani community and the replication of inter-group boundary patterns. This dynamic approach to migration allows the authors to also consider a different phenomenon, namely, the religious conversion of Roma to Pentecostal churches. This leads to an observation of parallels in the narratives of conversion and migration, which are both based on a dichotomy of “new” and “old”, and inclusion of the phenomenon of religious conversion in the analysis of migration alongside the highlighting of transnational social networks, the acquiring of secondary social bonds, and the strengthening of local inter-group boundaries.
