Starting out from the thesis of Barbara Taylor that Wollstonecraft’s feminism was deeply rooted in the egalitarian theology of Radical Protestantism (Barbara Taylor, Mary Wollstonecraft and the feminist imagination Cambridge University Press, 2003) I will argue that her brief career shows how, in her analysis of the hierarchy of the cognitive faculties, first she redefined reason by ascribing to it the power of intuitive apprehension, and eventually she replaced reason with imagination as the distinctive attribute of the human mind.

As a result, in some emotionally highly charged passages of her Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark (1796), she constructed her own version of early Romanticism in England. These passages can be read side by side with passages of epiphany in Wordsworth's 1805 Prelude as the most powerful examples of the imagination leading through an investment in the quotidian to an apprehension of immortality.

He had never been to Spain before. However, by the time he managed to find funding for the trip, he realized that "in that most frightful summer of her history, Spain was not a hospitable country. In a voice of varying intensity the two competing radio channels relentlessly blared into the ears of the world news of the destruction of those things that one is likely to want to go to Spain for, " he writes in his journal. 1 Prompted by his premonitions, he decided to go to Italy until there was time. On his return, the diary was published, and today it is seen as the record of a journey towards self-definition as well as the definition of the spirit of Europe in a period when both were seriously threatened by violence and disintegration. It is a document of his desperate search for inner harmony-that he calls "serenity"-as a protecting shield against the horrors anticipated by the political events in Europe. In 1936, Italy was already Mussolini's country: the noisy presence of the mob penetrates into the body of the text again and again. In the terms of his sentimental and intellectual response to Europe's cultural monuments, Szerb opens up mental spaces that hide his suppressed anxieties. He is interested in the great topic of the Romantics: how memory obliterates, and preserves, in ever altered forms, the relics of the past. Like Byron a century before, he is struck by the discrepancy between past and present: "Is this, " he asks, "what used to be the people Milton in the Hungarian Cultural Memory • 1 • Research for this essay was supported by the Hungarian Scientific Research Fund, OTKA (Grant No. 71770). 1 "Spanyolország, történetének ezen a legszörnyűbb nyarán, nem mutatkozott vendégszerető országnak, és két ellentmondó rádiója váltakozó buzgalommal süvítette a világba azoknak a dolgoknak a pusztulását, amelyekért az ember Spanyolországba szeretne menni" (SZERB 1981, 647).

It 1s a volume of essays that signals the commg-of-age of • students who, in the course oftheir unaergraduate or postgraduate studies, have nurtured a passionate intellectual interest in topics as diverse as theconventions of mediaeval poetry, the feminist thoug}:it of Anne Sexton, the philosophy of the Renaissance, the Metaphysicals and Shelley, the religious experience of Milton, Blake and T.S.Eliot, the aesthetics of the Pre-Raphaelites and Greenaway, and the narrative techniques of Steme, Hardy, Joyce, Virginia Woolf and Burgess. In the followmg papers attitudes vary, approaches differ, but the voice remains _personal, the research reliable, and the touch of originality undeniable. With so many economic forces at work destructive of what has traditionally been called a universiry education, it is vital for us to create an intellectual ambiance within our department; an ambiance that would encourage a spirit of adventure, a tolerance for the unorthodox, and a hunger for the new, while preserving a respect for the more traditional scholarly practices still worthy of our attention. Fot it is certain that only intellectual strength, courage, and discipline will have the persuasive power in the lean years ahead. Heartfelt thanks is due to those teachers who have spared neither time nor energy in encouraging and guidin~ students. We can only hope that The Anachronist 1995 will be followed bf The Anachronist 1996, and that this collection of student essays wil become a watchword for renewal, continuity, and relevance.

Control options not only of the sewer system, but also of the wastewater treatment plant and of receiving water bodies are considered. One section of the paper provides concise definitions of terms frequently used in the literature. Recent developments in the field of RTC include the consideration of the urban wastewater system in its entirety. This allows information from all parts of the wastewater system to be used for control decisions and can lead to a significant improvement of the performance of the wastewater system. Some fundamental concepts of this approach are outlined. Particular emphasis in this paper is laid on methodologies of how to derive a control procedure for a given system. As an example of an RTC system operational in practice, the Québec Urban Community global predictive RTC system is presented. The paper concludes with an outlook into current and future developments in the area of real time control.

From comparison of the decay curves of the laser-induced grating with thermally stimulated current and photoconductivity curves, we conclude that the major decay step between, ϳ100 and ϳ160 K, is due to the thermal release of trapped electrons from a distribution of traps centered near 0.3 eV, in both types of BGO sample. Additional thermal decay steps, between ϳ200 and ϳ300 K, correlate with other electron traps, in the energy range from ϳ0.4 to ϳ0.7 eV.
