Elizabeth Barbara Bulwer-Lytton was a member of the Lytton family of Knebworth House in Hertfordshire, England. Her parents were Elizabeth Jodrell. In 1798, she married General William Earle Bulwer, the couple lived at Heydon Hall in Norfolk, their first son, William Earle Lytton Bulwer, was born the year after their marriage. A second son, was born in 1801, followed by Edward in 1803. After her father's death, Elizabeth Bulwer resumed her father's surname, by a royal licence of 1811; that year she returned to Knebworth House, which by had become dilapidated. She renovated it by demolishing three of its four sides and adding Gothic towers and battlements to the remaining building; this Tudor Gothic work was carried out in 1813 by John Biagio Rebecca. She lived at Knebworth until her death; because of a long-standing dispute she had with the church, she is buried not with her ancestors at St Mary's Knebworth, but in a mausoleum nearby which she commissioned from John Buonarotti Papworth. Elizabeth's death affected her son, as described in a letter published in 1845, again in a posthumous 1875 collection.

As to his mother, in her room, Bulwer-Lytton "had inscribed above the mantlepiece a request that future generations preserve the room as his beloved mother had used it", which remains unchanged to this day.

Paul Pascon was a Moroccan sociologist whose multidisciplinary work aimed to elucidate French colonialism in Morocco and the capitalism that accompanied it, the development of Morocco after its independence from France. He was the first modern scholar to study Gara Medouar, he was one of the foremost experts on the Moroccan economy and agriculture and its transformation under colonialism and after independence. Pascon was a Pied-Noir, "of soldier and settler stock", he was born in Fez, the son of an engineer of public works, from whom he inherited a love of the outdoors. In life he told his friend Ernest Gellner of his family history: his grandfather, he said, had been a Pied-Noir who had acquired land in Morocco after World War I but never became a successful farmer. One of his ancestors had been involved in the Rif War, the French-Moroccan conflict of the 1950s provoked tension; as a result of these involvements he developed "a lifelong devotion to the understanding and advancement of the Moroccan peasant".

He became a scout. In 1942 his father was imprisoned in Boudenib and his mother placed in Midelt for opposing the Vichy regime. At age 17, Pascon won a prize for a report on the Ziz and Rhéris rivers, in 1951 he received his baccalauréat in experimental sciences from the Lycée Gouraud in Rabat, he chose natural science and received his Certificat d'études supérieures préparatoires in 1952. In that year he visited Gara Medouar. In 1956, Pascon was licensed in natural sciences, sociology in 1958. After a number of administrative jobs he was hired by Institut agronomique et vétérinaire Hassan-II in 1970, where he worked until his death in a variety of functions and leading units including the Department for Rural Development, his 1975 thesis was an interdisciplinary study of the Haouz province of Marrakesh. It exemplifies the depth of analysis possible when interdisciplinary techniques, indigenous sources, a creative mind are brought to bear on a single region". A former communist and Marxist, he let go of those ideologies in life.

Pascon was a research associate at Centre national de la recherche scientifique and associate professor at Université catholique de Louvain in Belgium. Pascon's two children died during the Western Sahara War. Pascon died on 21 April 1985 in Mauretania after a car accident. In an obituary, his friend Ernest Gellner wrote: "He died at the height of his powers, at a time when he was being quite exceptionally productive, his death is a human tragedy, but it is an immeasurable loss to scholarship. He was unquestionably one of the most thorough, best informed and penetrating of the students of Moroccan and North African society". Le Haouz de Marrakech. Pascon's doctoral thesis, in two volumes. One critic reviewed it as if it were a drama with four main characters: the tribes, which make up the basic human component but in a great variety. La Maison d'lligh et l'histoire sociale du Tazerwalt. A history of the House of Illigh, the family that controlled the area of Tazerwalt from the 17th century on. Pascon was still working on this.

The posthumously published book contains five separate studies on various aspects of the family—from their acquisition of land and the execution of hydrological works in 1640 to 19th-century trade documentation, an 1825 murder. Capitalism and Agriculture in the Haouz of Marrakesh. A translation of the second part of his doctoral thesis, edited by John R. Walt, it studies the history of the Haouz region before and after colonialism, relying on dependency theory rather than Marxism. Land usage is the tool with which to measure how far capitalism penetrated into an agricultural, peripheral society

Referred to as the "New South Wales General Strike", but referred to by contemporaries as "the Great Strike", it was in fact neither general nor confined to NSW. The strike was however a mass strike, involving around 100,000 workers in NSW and Victoria, it began in the Australian state of New South Wales and spread to other states over six weeks from 2 August to 8 September 1917 when the official leadership declared the strike over. It took two weeks for all the railway strikers to return, however, as rank and file meetings rejected the official capitulation. Outside the railways, significant groups such as the waterside workers in Sydney and Melbourne, the Hunter Valley coal mines remained out until November as in their case the use of strikebreakers had turned the strike into a lockout; the trigger for the strike was the introduction of a new labour costing system introduced by the New South Wales Department of Railways and Tramways. The system, a time and motion study, used cards to record the tasks each worker was assigned and the time it took them to complete those tasks.

Concern existed over the right to view or modify their card, the potential use of the card system to identify "slow" or "inefficient" workers. The strike began at the Randwick Workshops and Eveleigh Carriage Shops with workers walking off the job in protest, their cause was taken up throughout the New South Wales railway system, spread to other industries and states. Class tensions had been building during the war, it is necessary to look outside the railways to explain the extraordinary spread of the dispute; the Piddington Royal Commission reported in 1920 that real wages in Australia fell by 30% between 1914 and 1919. The response to this was a strike wave that began in early 1916. This, combined with anger at the attempt to introduce conscription and the disaffection of Irish-Australians, provided the atmosphere of class tension in which the strike exploded. With the exception of the railways, which were called out on 6 August, the strikes all began with rank and file walkouts and were only afterwards made official.

On the railways, significant sections had walked out before 6 August. The strike spread to the coal mines in NSW, the waterfront and the seamen. Groups of workers would continue to join the strike right up until September on the principle of refusing to work with a delivery of coal or of goods from the waterfront; when the Melbourne waterfront joined the strike on 11 August a similar spread occurred throughout Melbourne. Other significant additions to the ranks of strikers were the Broken Hill mines, the Wonthaggi coal mine in Victoria, sugar refineries, timber workers, meat workers and gas workers in Sydney; when waterside workers in Port Pirie refused to unload a delivery of NSW coal, this threatened the operation of the refinery which provided the majority of the lead used for munitions on the Western Front. The Prime Minister, W. M. Hughes, declared Port Pirie. On 30 August 1917, a striker was killed by strikebreaker. A strikebreaker, Alfred Green, was shot whilst driving a train from Sydney to Wollongong.

Two miners were charged but the case against them collapsed when it was revealed at the time of the shooting they were in Sydney. The strike was accompanied by scenes of mass protest. There were daily demonstrations in Melbourne. At one point Adela Pankhurst led a crowd of 20,000 to confront the police outside federal parliament in Melbourne. In Sydney, the daily rallies peaked every Sunday with crowds of up to 150,000; the government at both state and federal level responded by organising strikebreaking on a mass scale. A feature of this was a large number of middle-class men who were described as "volunteers" from rural areas. University students and the upper forms and masters of private schools in Sydney and Melbourne were prominent; the strikebreakers were housed at Taronga Zoo in Sydney. Strikebreakers from rural Victoria were sent to the Maitland coal field in the Hunter Valley of NSW where they were set to work in two large pits. In addition to the "volunteers" around a third of the railway service in NSW continued working, enabling a skeleton service to operate.

The railways in NSW had significant reserves of coal. On 9 September 1917 the Defence Committee, an ad hoc committee of trade union officials based in the NSW Trades and Labour Council, declared the strike over on terms which amounted to a complete capitulation; the decision was denounced as a sellout in a series of furious mass meetings and, when it was clear that hundreds would be victimised, many groups of railway workers resumed strike action. But without official support, the strikers drifted back to work and, after two weeks, the railway strike had ended; the miners and waterside workers, the two groups most affected by strikebreakers remained on strike till November, in a vain attempt to remove the scabs. In the case of the Melbourne waterfront, the strike continued until December; the defeat was a heavy blow for the labour movement and was a major factor in encouraging Billy Hughes, the Prime Minister, to attempt a second conscription referendum in December 1917. The referendum was defeated and the unions had recovered their strength by 1919, with the strikebreakers driven out of the coal mines and the Melbourne waterfront.

A massive strike-wave that year was spearheaded by some of the groups of workers that had shared in the defeat of 1917 the Broken Hill miners and the seamen. The
