CHISWICK PRESS : CHARLES WHITTINGHAM AND CO. TOOKS COURT, CHANCERY LANE, LONDON. PREFACE I N dealing with the work of a living artist the writer is exposed to the dangerous temptation of being carried away by his admiration for the genius to which the world is indebted for so many admirable works, and of closing his eyes to the faults and mannerisms which some­ times mar the beauty of even the most inspired of art productions. The result is that such books usually become worthless as art criticism and degenerate into mere apprecia­ tions, especially when the writer—as in the present case—is indebted to the subject of his book for his valuable assistance, which alone has enabled him to colleCt the material and the faCts necessary for the accomplishment of his task. In the present volume the author has endeavoured to avoid this dangerous pitfall, to keep an unbiassed mind, and to temper his genuine admiration for the master with an alloy of perhaps unnecessarily severe criticism. He feels the more justified in this method of proceeding, as most of the master’s faults have their mainspring in, and are indeed the unavoid­ able outcome of, his most characteristic merits. It might, perhaps, be said that it is a little premature to publish a book of this nature, whilst its subjeCt is in the prime of life and may reasonably be expeCted to enrich the world with many more works of unfailing charm and beauty. The answer to such an objection can only be, that Walter Crane’s mission is accomplished; that his place in the history of art is definitely fixed and cannot be much affeCted by anything he may create in the future. His greatness lies not so much in his artistic achievements as in his influence—and this influence has become a historical faCt. An attempt has been made in this volume to trace the growth of Walter Crane’s art from his earliest years, from the days of his infancy in fad, since a feeling for beauty and the desire for artistic expression appear to have dawned upon him with the very awakening of intelligence. Every phase of his many-sided adivity has been referred to and fully illustrated. The kindness of the artist has enabled the author to include among the illustrations a number of early pidures, water­ colour drawings, and studies which have never been published before and are of peculiar interest in so far as they illustrate a comparatively little known phase of Walter Crane’s artistic adivity. A number of hitherto unpublished notes from the artist’s sketch-books which accompanied him on his travels across Europe and the United States, and were originally only intended for the amusement of an intimate circle, will serve to show his keen sense of humour and quaint imagina­ tiveness. The thanks of the author and publishers are due to Mr. Edmund Evans, Messrs. Cassell and Co., Messrs. McCaw, Stevenson and Orr, Mr. George Allen, Messrs. Macmillan and Co., Messrs. Harper and Bros., Mr. David Nutt, and the Trustees of the Kelmscott Press, for permission to use illustra­ tions from books of which they own the copyrights ; to Messrs. Jeffrey and Co. for the use of the wall-papers ; and especially to Mr. Walter Crane for permission to photograph and re­ produce numerous unpublished paintings and sketches, and for assistance generously given in other ways. P. G. K. NOTE I D ESIR E to state that Mr. Konody’s book upon my work has been arranged, written, and completed without my having any knowledge of its literary contents, or of the opinions expressed. It will be understood, therefore, that though I have helped in the supply of information and illustrations and designed the cover, I am in no way responsible for the arrangement of the book, and neither sanction nor approval of its contents is implied on my part.

  • Making Amusement the Vehicle of Instruction’: Key Developments in the Nursery Reading Market 1783-1900
    1 ‘Making amusement the vehicle of instruction’: Key Developments in the Nursery Reading Market 1783-1900 PhD Thesis submitted by Lesley Jane Delaney UCL Department of English Literature and Language 2012 SIGNED DECLARATION 2 I, Lesley Jane Delaney 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. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ABSTRACT 3 ABSTRACT During the course of the nineteenth century children’s early reading experience was radically transformed; late eighteenth-century children were expected to cut their teeth on morally improving texts, while Victorian children learned to read more playfully through colourful picturebooks. This thesis explores the reasons for this paradigm change through a study of the key developments in children’s publishing from 1783 to 1900. Successively examining an amateur author, a commercial publisher, an innovative editor, and a brilliant illustrator with a strong interest in progressive theories of education, the thesis is alive to the multiplicity of influences on children’s reading over the century. Chapter One outlines the scope of the study. Chapter Two focuses on Ellenor Fenn’s graded dialogues, Cobwebs to catch flies (1783), initially marketed as part of a reading scheme, which remained in print for more than 120 years. Fenn’s highly original method of teaching reading through real stories, with its emphasis on simple words, large type, and high-quality pictures, laid the foundations for modern nursery books. Chapter Three examines John Harris, who issued a ground- breaking series of colour-illustrated rhyming stories and educational books in the 1810s, marketed as ‘Harris’s Cabinet of Amusement and Instruction’.

  • Going/Or Eternity: a Child's Garden of Verses
    Going/or Eternity: A Child's Garden of Verses • Elizabeth Waterston • Resume: Dans cet article, Elizabeth Waterston tente d'expliquer la fortune litteraire du recueil de poemes de Robert Louis Stevenson, A Child's Garden of Verses, dont Ie succes reste encore tres vifde nos jours. D'apres elle, plusieurs auteurs ont tout simplement oublie I'influence marquante que ces poemes ont exerce sur leur premiere jeunesse. Summary: Elizabeth Waterston discusses the reasons for the continued popularity of Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses, and suggests that many writers have forgotten the strength of the poems' influence on their pre-school days. TA T hen Robert Louis Stevenson rhymed "children" with "bewildering" r V in the trial edition of his verses for children, his friend Sidney Colvin objected. "A Cockney rhyme," he jotted into the margin of the little book titled Penny Whistles.1 Stevenson responded with his own marginal jotting, "Good enough for me.... These are rhymes, jingles; I don't go for eternity." Whether or not he thought he was in the race for immortality when he published his little rhymes, A Child's Garden of Verses, first published in 1885, has proved to have great survival power. It is still available in all sorts of editions, vari- ously illustrated, and is still a preeminent choice of educators as well as of parents and care-givers. It is a book for children too young to express an opinion of its charms; but many of us re-open it as adults to discover just how deeply it has sunk into our pores.

  • Caroline Arscott Word Count Without Footnotes 7, 062 Without Footnotes, 8, 484 with Footnotes
    Caroline Arscott word count without footnotes 7, 062 without footnotes, 8, 484 with footnotes ABSTRACT Caroline Arscott, ‘William Morris’s tapestry: metamorphosis and prophecy in The Woodpecker’. This essay discusses William Morris’s adoption of tapestry in the 1880s in terms of its allegorisation of the losses and gains of both historical and biological processes. The processes of tapestry itself, the movement of the shuttle and positioning of the weft and the gradual building up of the image are considered in relation to the prophetic mode deployed by Morris in the verses written on his tapestries published in his Poems By the Way of 1891. The essay centres on the example of the tapestry The Woodpecker (exhibited 1888) where Morris’s woodpecker motif refers to the story of Picus from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. The context of metamorphosis leads to a discussion of the woodpecker’s significance in that Victorian revisiting of metamorphosis, Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. This is contextualised by a discussion of other Victorian theorisations of evolution and the evolutionary emergence of consciousness. The essay discusses the morphology of form and the sequence of substitutions involved in sexual selection: the move from a reliance on the power of song to a recourse to instrumental music, and then a further move to the use of coloured display in creatures seeking an advantage in courtship. The declarative and the tacit aspects of Morris’s tapestry are addressed in order to assess the potential for the elaboration of grand themes in a form of art that seemingly abjures the grandiose theatre of human action.
