What a delightful book! Start your review of Period Piece. You begin to get a glimpse of the Cambridge-centric network that is the Darwin family, in the middle of which Gwen grew up. The boats were moored in very deep water, beneath a steep bank, perhaps four or five feet high, and Cordelia and I had scrambled into one of them to receive the baskets, when Jane appeared at the top of the bank.

I absolutely loved the chapter "Sport" in which she tells of all the games she and her siblings and cousins would ge This has been my Year of the Memoir - I don't know how many I've read, but this one must be the best yet.

For example, as a child she was often called Period Piece: A Cambridge Childhood to act as a chaperone to courting couples, and when ladies boated past a watering hole where boys swam naked, they would cover their faces with parasols. William : There are definitely Darwinian genetic traits apart from hypochondria, not least the tendency to make mountains out of minor mole hills. Posted in wood engraving Leave a Comment. We used to discuss the ridiculous superstitions about God and Religion; the absurd prejudices of patriotism and decency; the grotesque encumbrances called parents. I was happy to learn that she led a fulfilling life, not surprising for someone as intelligent as she and with such a common-sense attitude. And in the dark early morning we could sometimes hear from the Big Island the crowing of the cocks, which disturbed my father so much. Pryor and later Charles Gurney. Everything there was different. Mar 20, Theresa rated it really liked it. Community Reviews. Those who have visited or lived in Cambridge will no doubt enjoy spotting familiar locations. Its charm was not quite consistent enough to make this a stand-out memoir. As Gwen Raverat herself says at the conclusion of her memoir, I remember [my childhood] as an uncomfortable time, and sometimes a very unhappy one Hard to conceive of such a straitened society just down the road and just over a years ago.

Ill health as a Darwin characteristic. You know the saying: There's no time like the Period Piece: A Cambridge Childhood It was rather more of a familial than a geographical memoir, I suppose. Not just an invaluable record of domestic history, this is a very funny and impressively thorough memoir that could be used by anyone as a model for how to capture childhood. I read this book at a time Period Piece: A Cambridge Childhood my life when I am myself attempting to balance my individual personality and interests with larger social expectations and concerns, so this was a nice read. The author's father was Sir George Darwin. Period Piece: A Cambridge Childhood, I found it devoid of emotion at times, and the behaviour which the characters demonstrated Period Piece: A Cambridge Childhood felt bizarre and inconsistent. Darwin College, Cambridge, occupies both her childhood home, Newnham Grange, and the neighbouring Old Granary where she lived from until her death. Unfortunately Aunt Etty, being a lady, had no real work to do; she had not even any children to bring up. She had three suitors during that time, all of them Fellows of Trinity College. One day a British Rail employee stopped me. This is a great addition to everyone's essential 'smile on your face' bookshelf - a really enjoyable read. William : The meme of privilege and authority peculiar to many Darwins pushed Gwen into the almost bohemian, parent- upsetting life of an artist. William : In the preface to her masterpiece of a childhood memoir, Period Piece, my grandmother, Gwen Raverat makes it clear that: Anne : This is a circular book. I am afraid that what I have written may be too flippant and rather odious, and I would like to know what some outside Literary Person feels about it. I loved how headstrong she in particular was.

  • Gwen and Jacques Raverat. Paintings and Wood-Engravings, De L.M
    LM. Newman and D.A. Steel, Gwen and Jacques Raverat. Paintings and Wood-Engravings. University of Lancaster Library, [G.-B.], 1989, 70 p., 6 ±:1. par Michael TILBY En juin, 1989 quelques amateurs de l'oeuvre des Raverat, dont notre ami David Steel, ont eu l'heureuse idée de monter, dans le cadre du vingt­ cinquième anniversaire de l'Université de Lancaster, une importante exposition consacrée à la vie artistique de ces deux amis de Gide. Pour ceux qui n'ont pu s'offrir le plaisir de voir de leurs propres yeux les quelque 180 tableaux et gravures que les organisateurs ont réussi à rassembler pour le profit de leurs visiteurs, gidiens et autres, il reste toujours ce catalogue, guère moins précieux. Orné d'une sélection de gravures sur bois de Gwen Raverat fort intéressante (dont une de 1930 qui a pour sujet l'abbaye de Pontigny), le catalogue proprement dit est précédé d'une élégante et très riche introduction (due à D. Steel) et suivi d'une bibliographie qui, sans prétendre être exhaustive, sera désormais le point de départ essentiel pour quiconque aura en vue une étude biographique de ces deux conjoints dont les dons artistiques et intellectuels, pour être essentiellement complémentaires, furent loin d'être négligeables. Que Mme Newman et l'imprimerie de l'Université de Lancaster trouvent ici d'ailleurs l'expression de notre admiration devant la qualité de la production matérielle de cette belle brochure de 70 pages. On ne saurait guère reprocher aux docteurs Newman et Steel le fait de n'avoir réuni en tout que cinq tableaux de Jacques Raverat, d'autant plus que ceux-ci étaient en provenance tous les cinq de collections privées, donc très peu connus.

  • Raverat's River Interactive
    The River Cam According to Gwen Raverat Introduction Gwen Raverat, the granddaughter of naturalist Charles Darwin, was born and brought up in Cambridge and pursued an artistic path, including study at The Slade School of Fine Art, London. Her practice was, to a great extent, a diary of her life as a woman in the early and mid 1900’s, depicting scenes from her home city, of her husband, painter Jacques Raverat, as well as imagery from a short period living in the south of France. Substantial collections of her work rest in two Cambridge institutions, Murray Edwards College (Raverat’s work is part of the New Hall Art Collection) and The Fitzwilliam Museum. Working in paint and relief printmaking (usually woodcuts or wood engravings), Gwen Raverat paid great attention to detail and drew on her surroundings for her subject matter. The river Cam appears regularly in her works, as part of the landscape or as the central character of the works, taking the viewer’s eye under bridges and along the buildings of Cambridge. This publication sets out and maps a selection of Raverat’s work, pinpointing the location where she captured her chosen subjects. In the course of the research, discoveries and connections that have been found are noted alongside each work, together with relevant other material such as geographical and access information. Created as part of a project capturing contemporary visual responses to Raverat’s rivers, the publication forms a component of a wider enquiry entitled To The River. To The River is a public art commission to celebrate the story of the river Cam in Cambridge.

  • Read the Introduction
    INTRODUCTION his photograph was taken in October 1949 at the National TBook League Gallery (NBL) in Albemarle Street, London, during the opening of the exhibition ‘Wood Engraving in Modern English Books’. It shows almost all the significant engravers of a generation. The bearded Robert Gibbings dominates the group at the front. To the left of him is the show’s bespectacled organiser, Tom Balston. Slightly further back at the left, another figure stands out just as much – because of his height, which means he is strongly caught by the light, and because of the thrust of his jaw and the angle of his head: Clifford Webb. Leon Underwood and Gwen Raverat (in her French gran’mere’s dress) are just in front of him. Lynton Lamb, a prominent illustrator, is just behind Balston’s shoulder, with George Mackley and Geoffrey Wales beyond him. Blair Hughes-Stanton is seen behind Gibbings, with, to the right, Dorothea Braby, Gertrude Hermes, Reynolds Stone and Noel Rooke. Why is Webb so little known compared to many of the others? In the 1930s, after the First World War, Webb’s reputation was as high as any up-and-coming artist could wish for. In 1949, the year of the NBL exhibition, Christopher Sandford, ever keen to sell his Golden Cockerel Press books, painted a romantic picture of the 54-year-old engraver, describing him as ‘tall, ruddy, grizzled and hail-fellow-well-met’. ‘I press him to stay the night,’ he goes Border Farm, aka Chesterholme, 1943–4 on, ‘but the wild calls to him … he drives away to pitch his tent 8 x 10 in | 123 x 110 mm on a wooded hill above the river’.

  • Karl Pearson and the Galtonian Tradition:Studies Fri the Rise of Quantitative Social Biology
    Karl Pearson and the Galtonian tradition:studies fri the rise of quantitative social biology. Submitted for degree of Ph.D. by Bernard John Norton. il;n I B.Norton.Karl Pearson and the Galtonian tradition. ABSTRACT This work discusses the growth of a 'Galtonian tradition' in Science, notably as developed by Karl Pearson and his colleagues. It traces the development from Galton's ideas,in Britain, of the disciplines of Statistics,Biometrical Genetics and the Psychology of individual differences. These developments were linked with a number of philosophical and ideological commitments on the parts of the scientists concerned, and the work examines the interplay between these commitments and the theorising of the scientists.It looks also at the relations that may have held between these commitments and the social milieux of the scientists. Particular attention is giv!n tc the role of the strong and influential Eugenics movement which flourished in Britain at the time of these developments. CONTENT S Chapter 1.
