    1 ‘Do the duty that lies nearest to thee’: Elizabeth Gaskell, Philanthropy and Writing Louise Simone Armshaw Submitted by Louise Simone Armshaw to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Master of Philosophy in English September 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ……………………………………………………………………………… 2 3 Abstract This thesis examines the relationship between Gaskell’s philanthropy and her three social problem novels. Examining Gaskell in the context of Victorian philanthropy, I will argue that this is a relationship of far greater complexity than has previously been perceived. Gaskell’s Unitarian faith will be of particular relevance as different denominations often had unique approaches to philanthropy, and I will begin by examining Gaskell’s participation with philanthropy organised by her congregation, taking the charity bazaar as my example of this. Examining Gaskell’s three social problem novels in chronological order I will demonstrate that Gaskell rejects these forms of organised Victorian philanthropy, referred to as ‘associated philanthropy,’ in favour of developing her own vision of philanthropy in her novels. I will examine how Gaskell’s participation with ‘associated philanthropy,’ and the individual pursuit of her own philanthropic interests, shapes the development of her philanthropic vision in her fiction.

Theirs were thoughts which influenced each other and together influenced, indeed, revolutionised religious thinking throughout the nineteenth century and far more widely than the Unitarianism to which both men subscribed. Theirs were thoughts which continue to echo against religious walls well beyond a century later. Speakers at the Society‟s very successful 2010 conference at Ambleside contribute our further articles. We look at Harriet Martineau‟s contribution to what became known as the „Women‟s Movement‟.

  • Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester R M Johnson Phd 2020
    Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester R M Johnson PhD 2020 Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester RACHEL MARGARET JOHNSON A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Awarded for a Collaborative Programme of Research at the Royal Northern College of Music by Manchester Metropolitan University 2020 Abstract My dissertation demonstrates how a new and distinctive musical culture developed in the industrialising society of early Victorian Manchester. It challenges a number of existing narratives relating to the history of music in nineteenth-century Britain, and has implications for the way we understand the place of music in other industrial societies and cities. The project is located at the nexus between musicology, cultural history and social history, and draws upon ideas current in urban studies, ethnomusicology and anthropology. Contrary to the oft-repeated claim that it was Charles Hallé who ‘brought music to Manchester’ when he arrived in 1848, my archival research reveals a vast quantity and variety of music-making and consumption in Manchester in the 1830s and 1840s. The interconnectedness of the many strands of this musical culture is inescapable, and it results in my adoption of ‘networks’ as an organising principle. Tracing how the networks were formed, developed and intertwined reveals just how embedded music was in the region’s social and civic life. Ultimately, music emerges as an agent of particular power in the negotiation and transformation of the concerns inherent within the new industrial city. The dissertation is structured as a series of interconnected case studies, exploring areas as diverse as the music profession, glee and catch clubs, the Hargreaves Choral Society’s programme notes, Mechanics’ Institutions and the early Victorian public music lecture.

  • The Parable of the Prodigal Son in the Fiction of Elizabeth Gaskell
    THE PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAL SON IN THE FICTION OF ELIZABETH GASKELL Tatsuhiro OHNO A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Master of Letters Department of English Literature College of Arts and Law Graduate School University of Birmingham September 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

The investigation into the three short stories in addition to her major works discloses the following three main features. First, the recurrent appearance of the Prodigal Son motif—committing sin, repentance, and forgiveness—in her characters’ lives and actions. Second, Gaskell’s change of depicting the prodigal by gradually refraining from inserting hints for its salvation—there are many hints in the first short story, almost none in the second, and few in the third.

  • By Geoffrey Head, BA
    John Relly Beard Lecture 1997 by Geoffrey Head, BA Sponsored by The Ministerial Fellowship General Assembly of Unitarian & Free Christian Churches eter Eckersley, Secretary of the Unitarian congregation at Dawson's Croft in Salford, awoke one morning in February 1825, conscious that he had an important letter to write. He had been directed to head hunt a Minister. In those days there was no General Assembly, no District Associations in the present day sense, there were no 'Guide Lines for the Ministry'; even the British and Foreign Unitarian Association was only in the process of formation. Doubtless the Unitarian grapevine worked as insidiously as it does today, but there were certainly no vacant pulpit lists. To add to Mr Eckersley's difficulties, he had the task of addressing a student at Manchester College, York - a student who stood out, even amongst such illustrious contemporaries as James Martineau, John James Tayler and Robert Aspland, for academic ability and missionary enthusiasm. The congregation at Greengate had not much to offer. It had, on the previous Christmas Day, opened its first modest building, but it was a poor and struggling cause in a working class area on the wrong side of the River Irwell, even though it had the benevolent interest and support of a number of grandees from the wealthy and prominent Cross Street congregation less than one mile away. he student being head hunted, John Relly Beard, could well have had a choice of more prominent pulpits. The congregation stretched itself to offer a stipend of £ 120 p.a., probably with the help of such Cross Street worthies as Sir Thomas Potter, later to becorn; first Mayor of Manchester, and Richard Potter, elected M.P.
