  • Chaucer’S Birth—­A Book Went Missing
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. •CHAPTER 1 Vintry Ward, London Welcome, O life! I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience. — James Joyce, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man In the early 1340s, in Vintry Ward, London— the time and place of Chaucer’s birth— a book went missing. It wasn’t a very important book. Known as a ‘portifory,’ or breviary, it was a small volume containing a variety of excerpted religious texts, such as psalms and prayers, designed to be carried about easily (as the name demonstrates, it was portable).1 It was worth about 20 shillings, the price of two cows, or almost three months’ pay for a carpenter, or half of the ransom of an archer captured by the French.2 The very presence of this book in the home of a mer- chant opens up a window for us on life in the privileged homes of the richer London wards at this time: their inhabitants valued books, ob- jects of beauty, learning, and devotion, and some recognized that books could be utilized as commodities. The urban mercantile class was flour- ishing, supported and enabled by the development of bureaucracy and of the clerkly classes in the previous century.3 While literacy was high in London, books were also appreciated as things in themselves: it was 1 Sharpe, Calendar of Letter- Books of the City of London: Letter- Book F, fol.

  • The London Mechanics' Institution Social and Cultural Foundations 1823-1830
    The London Mechanics’ Institution Social and cultural foundations 1823-1830 Helen Hudson Flexner University College London Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2014 Flexner, London Mechanics’ Institution, p. 1 I, Helen Flexner, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Flexner, London Mechanics’ Institution, p. 2 Abstract: This study of the founding in 1823 of the London Mechanics’ Institution examines its constituency, catchment, and mandate to teach working men science and technology. To explain the Institution’s distinctive character, it is necessary to move beyond the flourishing patent/invention journalism, which provides one explanatory context, to the cheap literature disputes, debating society connotations, and Francis Place’s network. These radical associations show why George Birkbeck was quickly designated the ‘founder’, even though he was unknown to J. C. Robertson and Thomas Hodgskin when they proposed such an institute in the Mechanics’ Magazine. Birkbeck’s social standing would allay Establishment fears. An older historiography stressing middle-class social control is tested by analysing contemporary journals, newspapers and manuscripts. The first two volumes of manuscript Members’ Registers (1824-29), recording 8,343 names with occupations and addresses, have been transcribed and appended. These allow a comparison of members’ occupations with London trades generally and highlight diverse occupations within families. They also reveal family relationships between clerks and mechanics – important because clerks have been cited as a sign of middle-class invasion. Indeed the lack of any gross change in class composition suggests that there was no working-class exodus in these pre-Reform years.

  • City of London Spatial Classification
    LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY – STEPS TOWARDS DEMOCRACY 7.8 LONDON AND SPATIAL CLASSIFICATION Note: Following the LEH website conventions, ‘London’ refers to the parliamentary constituency. ‘City of London’ is the spatial entity O! [London’s] Lamps of a night! Her rich goldsmiths, print shops, toy shops, mercers, hardwaremen, pastry cooks! – St. Paul’s churchyard, the Strand! Exeter Change! – Charing Cross, with the man upon a black horse! – These are thy Gods O London – … All the streets and pavements are pure gold, I warrant you. – At least I know an Alchemy that turns her mud into that metal – a mind that loves to be at home in Crowds... .1 ‘London’ has long meant different things to different people. As Charles Lamb’s enthusiastic commentary indicated, it catered well for those who could cope with its crowds and diversity. Administrative London, the centre of national government, overlapped with the legal and legislative centres of the nation, while the West End became the seasonal playground of the well-to-do and the home of smart shops, with poor areas providing cheap labour tucked among the grandeur. Eastwards, commercial and financial London focused on the port and the City of London itself. It had a different appearance: of wharves and warehouses riverwards, and dwelling-places and nearby counting-houses. To take one literary example, Elizabeth Bennet’s uncle Gardiner was a City wholesaler, living, as Jane Austen specified, ‘by trade and within view of his own warehouses.’2 But over time, the City’s business premises were increasingly supplanting residential properties within the inner city, as the march of London into Middlesex provided accommodation for the teeming masses of the metropolis.
