When roaanticisa became the dominant word in English literature, it was only natural that the works of Milton, along with those of Spenser and Shakespeare, should enter upon an era of great popularity. Biographies of Milton were numerous, but the numerous editions of his works give the best basis for proof of his fame during that period. With particular reference to Paradise Lost this can be noted. Here a genuine surprise awaits us, for we find that between 1705 and 1$Q0 Paradise Lost was published over a hundred times! fhe wonder grows when we look at the Faerie Queene.

  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

  • The Wordsworthian Inheritance of Melville's
    THE WORDSWORTHIAN INHERITANCE OF MELVILLE’S POETICS by Cory R. Goehring B.A., Washington and Jefferson College, 2000 M.A., University of Massachusetts-Amherst, 2004 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2010 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Cory R. Goehring It was defended on May 19, 2010 and approved by Nancy Glazener, Associate Professor, English Marah Gubar, Associate Professor, English Fred Evans, Professor, Philosophy Jonathan Arac, Andrew W. Mellon Professor, English ii Copyright © by Cory R. Goehring 2010 iii THE WORDSWORTHIAN INHERITANCE OF MELVILLE’S POETICS Cory R. Goehring, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2010 It has become commonplace among both Melville and Wordsworth critics to recognize a basic ambiguity or contradictoriness in each artist’s writing. In this project, I find the roots of that tension in each artist’s concept of the imagination and the process of poetic creation. More importantly, I find that Melville’s concept of art, as reflected in his magnum opus Moby-Dick and substantiated in his poetry, reveals a basic affinity with Wordsworth’s Imagination. Specifically, my project traces the lingering elements of Wordsworth’s concept of the poetic process in Melville’s writing, particularly focusing on two important and complex relationships in that creative process: 1) the implicit paradox of activity and passivity in a poetics that assumes at its heart inspiration, and Wordsworth’s particular devotion to preserving rather than reconciling that paradox; and 2) the role of society in a creative process that seeks to privilege individual genius while ensuring the social efficacy of the workings of that genius.
