Lawrence, London, 1932 ix Acknowledgments More than forty years have passed since a visit to Beauvale Priory and recognition of 'Nethermere' led me to Felley Mill and Haggs Farm. Inevitably, when pursuing Lawrence investigations in Eastwood, I was directed to Mr William Hopkin's shop, almost opposite the premises which had once been London House, the original of Manchester House in The Lost Girl. Mr Hopkin could not have been more helpful. He not only answered my inquiries; he showed me a number of places connected with the Lawrence family, took me into the Congregational Chapel, and invited me to his home. His generosity and stimulating conversation then and on subsequent occasions have not been forgotten; nor the unfailing hospitality of his wife Olive, to whom I am most grateful for assistance in recent years, especially on topographical questions relative to Lawrence's fiction. My greatest literary indebtedness is to Professor H. T. Moore. The value of his biographical study The Priest of Love as a reference book has been exceeded only by that of his two-volume edition of Lawrence's letters. For assisting my research at various biographical points I am particu­ larly indebted to Mrs J. Drury of the County Library, Nottingham; Mrs Ellen S. Dunlap, Research Librarian of the University of Texas; and Miss Lucy I. Edwards, M.B.E., formerly head of the Department of Local Studies at the Nottingham City Library. Obligations are cordially acknowledged to Miss R. Wells and Mr D. Jones of the University Library, Sheffield; Mr P. R. Morley, Mr W. Thornhill, and Mr B. E.

  • AWAR of INDIVIDUALS: Bloomsbury Attitudes to the Great
    2 Bloomsbury What were the anti-war feelings chiefly expressed outside ‘organised’ protest and not under political or religious banners – those attitudes which form the raison d’être for this study? As the Great War becomes more distant in time, certain actions and individuals become greyer and more obscure whilst others seem to become clearer and imbued with a dash of colour amid the sepia. One thinks particularly of the so-called Bloomsbury Group.1 Any overview of ‘alter- native’ attitudes to the war must consider the responses of Bloomsbury to the shadows of doubt and uncertainty thrown across page and canvas by the con- flict. Despite their notoriety, the reactions of the Bloomsbury individuals are important both in their own right and as a mirror to the similar reactions of obscurer individuals from differing circumstances and backgrounds. In the origins of Bloomsbury – well known as one of the foremost cultural groups of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods – is to be found the moral and aesthetic core for some of the most significant humanistic reactions to the war. The small circle of Cambridge undergraduates whose mutual appreciation of the thoughts and teachings of the academic and philosopher G.E. Moore led them to form lasting friendships, became the kernel of what would become labelled ‘the Bloomsbury Group’. It was, as one academic described, ‘a nucleus from which civilisation has spread outwards’.2 This rippling effect, though tem- porarily dammed by the keenly-felt constrictions of the war, would continue to flow outwards through the twentieth century, inspiring, as is well known, much analysis and interpretation along the way.

It’ll not be the soul of me when I was a lad for I hadn’t a soul as would make me an angel then”, voicing an important Lawrentian truth. For Lawrence, “the great relationship” is the relationship between man and woman and the ultimate aspiration of life is to perfect one’s essential being which can only be achieved when an individual is able to polarize his or her primal consciousness with that of another. This paper traces the trajectory of Lawrence’s concept of love and selfhood through his novels. In his early novels such as The White Peacock (1911), Sons and Lovers (1913) and The Rainbow (1915), Lawrence displays a lot of faith in individual relationships which, in fact, become the medium for the self to realize itself.

  • GARSINGTON OPERA to MOVE to WORMSLEY ESTATE, HOME of the GETTY FAMILY, in 2011 Submitted By: Clare Adams Publicity Thursday, 29 April 2010
    GARSINGTON OPERA TO MOVE TO WORMSLEY ESTATE, HOME OF THE GETTY FAMILY, IN 2011 Submitted by: Clare Adams Publicity Thursday, 29 April 2010 The Directors of Garsington Opera (http://www.garsingtonopera.org) are pleased to announce that Wormsley Estate, the home of the Getty family, is the preferred site for Garsington Opera with effect from the 2011 season. Garsington Opera, founded by the late Leonard Ingrams and his wife Rosalind in 1989, has established an enviable reputation over the last twenty-one years for promoting opera of the highest professional quality in an outdoor setting for a short summer season. Wormsley Estate is set within a magnificent historic landscape in the Chiltern Hills, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. An elegant pavilion auditorium will be created, to be assembled annually, sited close to an attractive collection of flinted buildings, not far from Wormsley House, and nestling in the beautiful deer park. After twenty-one years at Garsington Manor, Garsington Opera has been seeking a new location over the last two years and has reached agreement with Mark Getty to hold the festival at the Wormsley Estate from the summer of 2011. Garsington Opera has now started consultations with the local community, relevant authorities and other interested parties and shall be applying for planning consent. As well as being the setting of the famous cricket ground established by Sir Paul Getty, Wormsley enjoys an impressive two acre 18th century walled garden, a short drive away from the opera pavilion. The estate straddles the Oxfordshire / Buckinghamshire border. It is located close to the M40, is less than fifteen miles from Garsington Manor, and under an hour from central London.

Example citation: Wilson, J. M. (2015) Katherine Mansfield and T.S. Eliot. Paper presented to: Katherine Mansfield and the 'Blooms Berries', Newberry Library, Chicago, USA, 28­30 May 2015. Version: Presented version Official URL: http://www.katherinemansfieldsociety.org/chicago­conference­ 2015/ NECTARhttp://nectar.northampton.ac.uk/7579/ Abstract: “Katherine Mansfield and T.S. Eliot” Katherine Mansfield and T. S. Eliot had a friendly yet fraught relationship in which an initial mutual admiration turned into wariness. Their literary acquaintance began with the Bloomsbury Circle, and Mansfield’s enthusiasm for The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock which she read out at Garsington Manor in June 1917, saying: ‘that’s what I want modern poetry to be’, and ‘it is after all, a short story’. Later she saw his poetry as ‘unspeakably dreary’, while he formed the view that she was ‘a thick skinned toady’, and ‘a dangerous WOMAN’. Eliot’s brief comments on Mansfield’s story ‘Bliss’ give some insight into his views of her work. This paper, however, aims to examine his modernism as a possible influence on on her artistic practice (evident in allusions to ’Preludes’, Prufrock and ‘Rhapsody on a Winter’s Night’), and the possible impact of his criticism and theories of art on her thinking (for example, her belief in the impersonality of the artist). Finally it will consider how the relationship has been taken up as a subject for fiction by New Zealand writer and critic, C.K.

A Publication of the D. H.

Lawrence’s inscription on the title page of a first edition copy of The Rainbow (1915). Journal of D. H. Studies, vol. 4.1 (2015) 15 THE RAINBOW: A MISCELLANY JONATHAN LONG In the year that Lawrentians are celebrating the centenary of the publication of The Rainbow, it is timely to be able to publish for the first time a facsimile of the manuscript of a limerick that Lawrence composed on the title page of a copy of the first edition of that book (see Figure 2 opposite). Before I comment on the limerick, it is an opportune moment to say something about the publication history of the book. The Rainbow was published by Methuen on 30 September 1915 and was to be the only book by or about Lawrence that he published during Lawrence’s lifetime. In line with the publication figures for Lawrence’s earlier novels, it was a modest project. There appear to have been only 2,527 sets of sheets printed by Hazell, Watson and Viney, including eleven destined to be travellers’ copies.

  • Chapter VII : Conclusion 133
    Chapter VII : Conclusion 133 Chapter VII : Conclusion All psychological theories propounded by Freud and Jung influenced the major writers of the twentieth century like D.H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf and others. Almost, every modern writer tried to explore various psychological theories relating to human behavior and human relationships. Fresh explorations in Psychological studies opened new vistas in the field of criticism, poetry and novels as a result of which we had the emergence of such critical concepts as ‘Oedipus complex’, ‘Electra complex’, ‘Stream of Consciousness’ , etc. But the main influence of new psychology was on the art of characterization leading to the emergence of some of the major writings in modern fiction. Novels like D.H Lawrence’, Sons & Lovers, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Virginia Woolf’s, To the Lighthouse, James Joyce’s, Ulysses are some of the examples of this group. Lawrence’s Development as a Writer: D. H. Lawrence was born on September 11, 1885 in Nottinghamshire in England. His childhood was dominated by poverty and friction between his parents. His personal life and his native land had a major impact on his writings. His work abundantly proves that he did not want to escape from the influence of his native land. Lawrence began writing sometime during 1907. He met Jessie Chambers, the editor of ‘English Review’ in 1909 who published Lawrences’ poems in 1909. The White Peacock was published by Heinemann. In the same year, he took poem as school, South London. In 1912 he met Frieda Weekley, wife of Ernest Weekley and eloped with her. The Trespasser was also published in 1912.
