  • Women Writers and Literary‐Religious
    Women Writers and Literary-Religious Circles in the Elizabethan West Country: Anne Dowriche, Anne Lock Prowse, Anne Lock Moyle, Ursula Fulford, and Elizabeth Rous MICHELINE WHITE Carleton University I. REFLECTIONS ON METHOD: IDENTIFYING LITERARY NETWORKS IN A LOCAL CONTEXT The reconstruction of literary circles, coteries, networks, and com- munities has long been a central scholarly practice in the study of Re- naissance literature. As Claude Summers and Ted-Larry Pebworth note, the literary circle was one of the “essential material conditions for the production of literature in an era in which patronage relations were crucial and in which manuscripts were frequently circulated among coteries of sympathetic readers.”1 However, critics have noted that lit- erary circles are also constructed by scholars seeking to organize dis- parate materials in a coherent way. From this perspective, a literary circle might be described as a “cataloguing mechanism and as a heuris- tic, that is, a way to pose questions about textual production and recep- tion”; as a “useful shorthand” to “explain a wide range of complex, often messy, social interactions”; or as a “kind of map on which to locate individual writers in relation to each other” and to a variety of issues and goals.2 Given the importance of the literary circle during I would like to thank the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for funding this project through a Standard Research Grant. I would also like to thank Francis and Kishanda Fulford of Great Fulford House for allowing me to consult their family papers. I am grateful to Shane Hawkins for translating the Latin poems discussed in this article and to the anonymous reviewer at Modern Philology for providing very helpful suggestions.

  • Exhibition Wall Texts
    Lines of Beauty Lines of Beauty investigates the rich tradition of decorative plasterwork. Inspired by the Rococo splendour of the Foundling Hospital’s Court Room ceiling, the exhibition focuses on the contemporary designs of sculptor Geoffrey Preston. Lines of Beauty illuminates the art of modelling in clay and stucco and shows the sculptural potential of these expressive materials. It also considers the design of eighteenth-century ceilings and demonstrates how their lively designs were guided by proportion and geometry. The exhibition title Lines of Beauty comes from William Hogarth’s The Analysis of Beauty, published in 1753. A copy of the book is in the Foundling Museum’s collection. Hogarth used the term to describe the graceful serpentine forms that are typical of Rococo design, and which can be seen throughout the work in this exhibition. Paint kindly supplied by This exhibition has been made possible by the provision of insurance through the Government Indemnity Scheme. The Foundling Museum would like to thank HM Government for providing Paint colours: Government Indemnity and the Department Ball Green and Manor House Gray for Culture, Media and Sport and Arts Council England for arranging the indemnity. Exhibition supported by INTERIOR DESIGN The position of Curator: Exhibitions & Displays is supported by the Pilgrim Trust Design: Joe Ewart www.geoffreypreston.co.uk Uppark House In 1989 a fire ravaged the National Trust’s Uppark House, in West Sussex. The fire caused the roof to collapse, taking with it five spectacular eighteenth-century stucco ceilings. Many of the priceless contents were rescued in an heroic effort during the fire.
