	Moksha Journal - The Outcome of Crisis in Hamlet and the Bhagavad Gita
		Through character interaction crisis is portrayed, dissected, and thoroughly resolved in a manner displaying the radical orientation of the culture generating the text.
		The whole of the Bhagavad Gita is an enactment of this process, moving from a stuck perspective to the ability to discriminate many perspectives; from discnminative knowledge to a direct experience of the radical grounding vision; and finally into an ability to live through this vision.

	Victoria of the United Kingdom
		The Queen commissioned Sir Robert Peel, a Tory, to form a new ministry, but was faced with a debacle known as the Bedchamber Crisis.
		At the time, it was customary for appointments to the Royal Household to be based on the patronage system (that is, for the Prime Minister to appoint members of the Royal Household on the basis of their party loyalties).
		Thus, when Whigs under Melbourne lost the elections of 1841 and were replaced by the Tories under Peel, the Bedchamber Crisis was not repeated.

	Peel's speech on the Bedchamber Crisis: 13 May 1839
		With respect to the superior class, I stated, that those Ladies who hold their offices of that class, and who were immediate relatives of our political opponents would, I took it for granted, relieve us from any difficulty, by at once relinquishing their offices.
		But I stated, at the same time, that I did think it of great importance, as conveying an indication of her Majesty's entire support and confidence, that certain offices in the household, of the higher rank, if not voluntarily relinquished by the Ladies holding them, should be subject to some change.
		Even with respect to the higher offices, namely, the Ladies of the Bedchamber, I did state, however, that there were some instances in which, from the absence of any strong party or political connexion, I thought it would be wholly unnecessary to propose a change.

	THE VOICE OF THE SHUTTLE IS OURS (KLINDIENST)
		In this light, Tereus' rape of Philomela constitutes a crisis in language--the barbarian refuses to use the women/signs as they are offered him by the Greek; and a violation of the structure of exogamous exchange--the barbarian does not exchange; he steals and keeps all to himself.
		But in a crisis the woman can become identified with the very violence the exchange of her body was meant to hold in check.
		In Aristophanes' Lysistrata, the crisis in Athens is not depicted as women fleeing to the hills to celebrate the rites of Dionysus, but as women moving to the center, occupying the Acropolis in an attempt to restore a true sense of differences among Greeks.

	Neil Monaghan - Reviews
		This is what theatre should be: a strong depiction of human crisis, an exploration of life and meaning that never mires itself (or us) in technicalities.
		Bellman’s brittle JJ, the laser-beam precision of Edward Kemp’s direction and the shards of fl humour in Monaghan’s caustic dialogue are but three reasons to see this incisive expose of London life as a form of capital punishment.
		The candlelit surrounds of a nineteenth century bedchamber, fresh from a Hardy novel.

	[No title]
		Bowman bursts through an emergency airlock, literally penetrates HAL's brain space, dismantling the computer's logic center in an intriguing reversal of the usual circumstances of the genre wherein human consciousness is invaded from the outside.
		Deep space becomes a psychedelic riot of complex grids, opening out into infinity at breakneck speed; swirling plasmas of color are intercut with close-ups of Bowman's taut features, his blinking eye, and tracking shots of unearthly, desolate landscapes.
		In what has to be one of the most unnerving moments in the movies, the pod comes to rest in the middle of an opulent bedchamber furnished glacially in French high baroque.

		The propriety, decorum and dignity that Queen Victoria early displayed was in marked contrast to that of her Hanoverian uncles.
		At the outset of her reign, Victoria lost some of her initial popularity by her behaviour in 'the Bedchamber Crisis'.
		Understandably harbouring resentment to her mother for her sufferings under the Kensington System, she allowed this to affect her judgement and handling of the affair of one of her mother's ladies, Lady Flora Hastings.

	What was The Bedchamber Crisis? in The AnswerBank: History
		Peel asked Lord Ashley (later the Earl of Shaftesbury) to take over the household, telling him that it was a great responsibility to provide the attendants and companions - known as ladies of the bedchamber - of this 19-year-old woman who ruled over millions of subjects.
		The question was settled in a friendly manner between the two parties before Melbourne's final resignation in 1841.
		The Queen's marriage to Prince Albert in February, 1840, made the crisis history.

	The Bedchamber Crisis
		Melbourne pointed out these words to the Queen who answered that, from her point of view, 'some' and 'all' were the same thing.
		The whole incident, known as the Bedchamber Crisis, seems to be a storm in a tea-cup.
		However, Peel had a good case even if his approach had lacked subtlety; the Queen was unreasonable; the Whigs ought not to have advised her until Peel had refused to form a ministry.

		Prominent among the crude efforts to rekindle the class war was the obligatory mantra about "men in tights" - a startling inconsistency from a government that so conspicuously favours such persons, to the point that the Gender Recognition Bill will award the endorsement of the state to a scientific untruth as primitive as flat-earthism.
		Blair’s manufactured confrontation with the Upper House has the ephemeral texture of the Bedchamber Crisis of 1839.
		Yet, beyond this non-event, there is an underlying constitutional crisis of real significance, caused by Blairism’s alienation from all our evolved political institutions.

	Monarchy - The Age of Albert, the uncrowned king of Victorian Britain
		Having been brought up as a Whig, Victoria shared Melbourne's political outlook, and she made little secret of her political partisanship.
		When Melbourne resigned as prime minister in 1839 over problems in the colonies, she provoked a constitutional crisis by refusing to allow the Tory leader, Sir Robert Peel, to replace Whig ladies of the queen's bedchamber with Tories, as was customary.
		Although the issue that brought the 'Bedchamber Crisis' to a head seems petty by modern standards, Peel declared that he could not form a government because of the queen's open partiality, and Melbourne returned.

	Peel's speech on the Bedchamber Crisis: 13 May 1839
		I said to those who were intended to be my future colleagues, that, with respect to all the subordinate appointments — meaning every appointment, without exception, below the rank of a Lady of the Bedchamber — I should propose to her Majesty no change whatever with respect to those.
		Immediately — that is, in two or three hours after having received the letter from her Majesty, I addressed to her Majesty a letter, of which this is a copy, dated Whitehall, May 10:
		These are the letters that passed, and I add nothing to the simple reading of them.

		On the accession of Queen Victoria there had to be a general election, which was won by Lord Melbourne; however, his support in parliament declined and on 7 May he resigned following a very close vote on the suspension of the constitution in Jamaica.
		Victoria asked Peel to form a ministry but precipitated the Bedchamber Crisis when she refused to give up her Whig ladies in waiting.
		Peel refused to take office under those circumstances and Melbourne resumed office but continued to lose support until he resigned in June 1841 leaving Peel to take the post of PM and Chancellor of the Exchequer following a Conservative victory at the general election.
