  EMLS 8.2 (September, 2002]: 13.1-5 Review of Meg Twycross and Sarah Carpenter, Masks and Masking in Medieval and Tudor ...
Twycross and Carpenter made a wise choice in dividing their study into four parts - "Popular Masking," "Courtly Masking," "Theatrical Masking," and "Theory and Practice" - as their laudable commitment to testing influential theories of masking against "the complex particularity of the evidence" necessarily tends to a dense, albeit rewarding, argument (4).
Though Twycross and Carpenter argue that "the meaning of such a flened face depends on its context" (215) and that such flness is not necessarily racialized (though they point out that "ethiop" is a frequent term associated with the devil in the medieval sources [202]), the evidence consistently places "fl" in the negative register.
Finally, Twycross and Carpenter's conclusions about cosmetics and masks usefully contextualize the construction of early modern femininity; their discussion of the material culture of fl-face and white- face, which they argue equally served to de-naturalize the human subject, further adds to our understanding of the shifting significance of colour during this transitional period.

 Twycross Zoo
This was the way that many of Twycross' s original chimpanzees entered the collection, and for many years the zoo was best known for its chimps and their TV advertisements for Brooke-Bond Tea.
The zoo is largely conventional in the design of most of its buildings which are fairly spaced out around the park, and unlike many country zoos it devotes very few of its acres to grazing herds.
Twycross is a zoo with something for everyone- lions and tigers for the everyday visitor, donkey rides for youngsters, and dholes and sand cats for the zoo enthusiast.

 Twycross and Mosby [Archive] - The Aerodrome Forum
If Twycross was not the first to arrive, then the reliability of his revelation to his son, 48 years after the event, that he heard Von Richthofen’s last words, is even more dubious.
Twycross ran over to the plane and heard Ricthofen say his 3 words.
Though I agree with Vin that Twycrosses claim of Richthofen speaking is way dubious considering the amount of people who all seemed to be at the plane first.
