A Cultural Tourist in Romantic Germany: Henry Crabb Robinson as Nineteenth-Century Life Writer, p. 515
Henry Crabb Robinson is mostly remembered for having cultivated the acquaintance of many of the leading writers of his time in Germany and England, and for his value as a source of historical information about his better known peers. This article argues that despite the fact that Robinson never completed his Reminiscences, his letters, diaries, journals, and other writing indicate that he deserves to be considered an important nineteenth century autobiographer.

Topeng Sidha Karya: A Balinese Mask Dance
Performed by I Ketut Kodi with I Gusti Putu Sudarta, I Nyoman Sedana, and I Made Sidia in Sidha Karya, Badung, Bali, 16 October 2002
Transcribed by I Ketut Kodi; translated by I Nyoman Sedana and Kathy Foley; and introduced by Kathy Foley, 171
After a terrorist bomb exploded in the Sari Club at Kuta Beach, Bali, in October 2002, a topeng performance of Sidha Karya (literally “completing the ritual work”) was presented by I Ketut Kodi and other faculty members from STSI-Denpasar, the Indonesian University of the Arts. The mask dance performance, held at the village of Sidha Kaya in Badung, Bali, was an exorcistic response to the terrorist attack and probed Balinese responses to the event. The introduction gives background on the story and analyzes the way the narrative reflected both current social issues and traditional Balinese philosophy.
