![]() ![]() Will any of it make a difference? It’s too early to say, but you have to give it to the fans for trying to beat Netflix at its own game. One particular fan told Rolling Stone that they had watched Shadow and Bone in its entirety 60 times. What are the ways the fandom is keeping the energy alive, you may ask? They include watching both seasons 1 and 2 multiple times a week in order to keep Shadow and Bone high on Netflix’s top-ten lists, hosting virtual watch parties on social media and in the r/ShadowandBone subreddit, and even keeping the show running in the background as they go about their day-to-day lives in an attempt to give it more views. ![]() You never know if your favorite show is gonna get renewed or it’s gonna get canceled, and we always had that doubt. “Netflix is such an unstable streaming service. ![]() Timea Saghy/Netflix © 2022 Shadow and Bone fans are pulling out the stops, but will it make the difference?Įarlier this week, Rolling Stonelooked at how fans of author Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse are going above and beyond to try and secure a future for the Shadow and Bone Cinematic Universe. “We had to come up with something to keep the fandom and the energy alive,” the owner of popular fan account told the magazine.

The history covers the years 305-439, and experts believe it was finished in 439 or soon thereafter, and certainly during the lifetime of Emperor Theodosius II, i.e., before 450. In later years he traveled and visited, among other places, Paphlagonia and Cyprus ( Historia Ecclesiastica 1.12.8, 2.33.30). No certainty exists as to Socrates' precise vocation, though it may be inferred from his work that he was a layman. That Socrates of Constantinople later profited by the teaching of the sophist Troilus is not proven. This attack, in which the Serapeum was vandalized and its library destroyed, is dated about 391. A revolt, accompanied by an attack on the pagan temples, had forced them to flee. Socrates' teachers, noted in his prefaces, were the grammarians Helladius and Ammonius, who came to Constantinople from Alexandria, where they had been pagan priests. Even in ancient times nothing seems to have been known of his life except what can be gathered from notices in his Historia Ecclesiastica ("Church History"), which departed from its ostensible model, Eusebius of Caesarea, in emphasizing the place of the emperor in church affairs and in giving secular as well as church history. Socrates of Constantinople, also known as Socrates Scholasticus, not to be confused with the Greek philosopher Socrates, was a Greek Christian church historian, a contemporary of Sozomen and Theodoret, who used his work he was born at Constantinople c. ![]() ![]() ![]() In addition, she shows how traditions, beliefs, and practices within the slave community undermined planters' efforts to ensure a compliant workforce by instilling Christian values in enslaved children. Vasconcellos adds detail and meaning to these tensions by looking, for instance, at enslaved children of color, legally termed mulattos, who had unique ties to both slave and planter families. At the same time, the childhood experience was shaped by the ethnically, linguistically, and culturally diverse slave community. In the half-century covered by her study, Jamaican planters alternately saw enslaved children as burdens or investments. Vasconcellos explores the experiences of enslaved children through the lenses of family, resistance, race, status, culture, education, and freedom. ![]() Vasconcellos discusses the nature of child development in the plantation complex, she looks at how both colonial Jamaican society and the slave community conceived childhood-and how those ideas changed as the abolitionist movement gained power, the fortunes of planters rose and fell, and the nature of work on Jamaica's estates evolved from slavery to apprenticeship to free labor. This study examines childhood and slavery in Jamaica from the onset of improved conditions for the island's slaves to the end of all forced or coerced labor throughout the British Caribbean. ![]() ![]() ![]() The most notable difference between the manuscript and the West Saxon text is, of course, the language. ![]() ![]() This is the earliest known version of this work. This is an image of Cædmon's Hymn in the "Moore" manuscript (737), Cambridge, Kk.5.16, f. The only one to survive today is his Hymn. He had miraculously received the “gift of song” (religious song, that is) and became hailed by the monks as a “lay brother.” According to Bede, Cædmon went on to compose other religious stories and poems which proved his gift to the monks. Cædmon insisted that he didn’t know how to sing, but the man in his dream insisted and Cædmon then sang about the Creator and in praise of God. There are several variations of the tale, but a dominant version cites Cædmon, who never played the harp or sang during festivities, was commanded to sing something by a man in his dream. According to Bede, Cædmon was an illiterate herdsman who lived at the Whitby monastery on the northeast shore of North Yorkshire. The sole source of original information about Cædmon's life and work is Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People. Cædmon's Hymn is thought to be the earliest composed Old English poem, composed between 658 and 680. ![]() ![]() ![]() The year-long journey of developing the story from outline and r&d to a complete, polished 43-minute film was incredibly challenging, yet extremely fulfilling.
