| Notes | Some terms used in these records reflect contemporary attitudes and language used during the period. All such terms are used in the interest of historical accuracy, as altering them would risk falsifying the historical record. It would also be problematic to source non-offensive modern equivalents with a similar meaning. These items do not reflect the views or opinions of the University of Kent, Special Collections & Archives or our staff. We apologise for any offence that our inclusion of these terms may cause. |
| The derogatory term "Yokel" is used within these materials to describe a character for whom Anthony Holland designed a costume in the pantomime Cinderella. It is a slur used to describe the stereotype of unsophisticated country people. The term is of uncertain etymology and is only attributed from the early 19th century. |
