Early Nineteenth-Century London Street 233 Series Editor’s Preface ‘Victorian’ is a term at once indicative of a strongly determined concept and an often notoriously vague notion, emptied of all meaningful content by the many journalistic misconceptions that persist about the inhabitants and cultures of the British Isles and Victoria’s Empire in the nineteenth century. As such, it has become a by-word for the assump- tion of various, often contradictory habits of thought, belief, behaviour and perceptions. Victorian studies and studies in nineteenth-century lit- erature and culture have, from their institutional inception, questioned narrowness of presumption, pushed at the limits of the nominal defi ni- tion, and have sought to question the very grounds on which the unre- fl ective perception of the so-called Victorian has been built; and so they continue to do. Victorian and nineteenth-century studies of literature and culture maintain a breadth and diversity of interest, of focus and inquiry, in an interrogative and intellectually open-minded and challeng- ing manner, which are equal to the exploration and inquisitiveness of its subjects. Many of the questions asked by scholars and researchers of the innumerable productions of nineteenth-century society actively put into suspension the clichés and stereotypes of ‘Victorianism’, whether the approach has been sustained by historical, scientifi c, philosophical, empirical, ideological or theoretical concerns; indeed, it would be incor- rect to assume that each of these approaches to the idea of the Victorian has been, or has remained, in the main exclusive, sealed off from the interests and engagements of other approaches. A vital interdisciplinar- ity has been pursued and embraced, for the most part, even as there has been contest and debate amongst Victorianists, pursued with as much fervour as the affi rmative exploration between different disciplines and differing epistemologies put to work in the service of reading the nineteenth century. Edinburgh Critical Studies in Victorian Culture aims to take up both the debates and the inventive approaches and departures from Series Editor’s Preface ix convention that studies in the nineteenth century have witnessed for the last half-century at least. Aiming to maintain a ‘Victorian’ (in the most positive sense of that motif) spirit of inquiry, the series’ purpose is to continue and augment the cross-fertilisation of interdisciplinary approaches, and to offer, in addition, a number of timely and untimely revisions of Victorian literature, culture, history and identity. At the same time, the series will ask questions concerning what has been missed or improperly received, misread or not read at all, in order to present a multi-faceted and heterogeneous kaleidoscope of representations. Drawing on the most provocative, thoughtful and original research, the series will seek to prod at the notion of the ‘Victorian’, and in so doing, principally through theoretically and epistemologically sophisticated close readings of the historicity of literature and culture in the nine- teenth century, to offer the reader provocative insights into a world that is at once overly familiar and irreducibly different, other and strange. Working from original sources, primary documents and recent inter- disciplinary theoretical models, Edinburgh Critical Studies in Victorian Culture seeks not simply to push at the boundaries of research in the nineteenth century, but also to inaugurate the persistent erasure and provisional, strategic redrawing of those borders.

  • 1 Jewish Built Heritage in Whitechapel Sharman
    Jewish Built Heritage in Whitechapel Sharman Kadish In 1881 the assassination of the ‘Tsar Liberator’ (of the serfs) Alexander II unleashed waves of violent pogroms against Russia’s Jewish subjects. This dramatic event was the catalyst for the largest ever influx into Britain of Jewish refugees. Immigration had built up steadily throughout the nineteenth century owing both to persecution and economic hardship in Tsarist Russia and other parts of eastern Europe.1 The estimated 100,000 refugees who made it to Britain between 1881 and 1914 formed only a small part of a westward migration of over two million Jews of whom about three-quarters went to America. In the wider context, these Jews were joining a mass migration, at the time unprecedented in scale, from all over Europe, that embraced not only eastern Europeans but many other nationalities including Germans, Italians and the Irish. The majority of the Jews who arrived in Britain hailed from the gigantic ghetto known as the Pale of Settlement, first instituted by Catherine the Great following the Partitions of Poland at the end of the eighteenth century. The Pale extended along the expanded western borders of the Russian Empire from the Baltic to the Black Sea: it comprised ten provinces of eastern (‘Congress’) Poland including the capital Warsaw, as well as neighbouring Lithuania, Belarus, and much of Ukraine to the south. The only Census held in Russia under the Tsars in 1897 identified over five million Jews in the Russian Empire, at that time the largest Jewish community in the world. Jews accounted for about four percent of the population of Russia and over half of world Jewry at that time.

  • The Smithfield Gazette
    THE SMITHFIELD GAZETTE EDITION 154 October 2015 TIME FOR CHANGE Researchers have uncovered a move by the Policy and Resources Committee to overturn the compromise agreement reached between the tenants of Smithfield Market and the City of London in the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice on 5 March 2013 whereby the tenants accepted new leases with exclusive service charges while the City accepted responsibility for historic repairs, particularly to the Poultry Market, including the replacement of the roof. The Projects Sub Committee of the Policy and Resources Committee, chaired by Sir Michael Snyder, earlier this year voted to contest the decision to repair the Poultry Market, which resulted in Markets Committee deciding to halt all work on the project while other avenues were explored, including de-listing and demolishing the building. The ex-Chairman of Policy, Deputy for Cordwainer Ward, campaigned for his colleague Mark Boleat to become Chairman of Policy and a third member of the Ward has also been Chief Commoner even though the Ward of Cordwainer is one of the smallest Wards in the City. Cordwainer Ward has only 288 electors but that is actually irrelevant as there has not been a contested election in the Ward for the last twenty years. The current membership of the Court of Common Council includes many new and younger members and they should be concerned at the lack of democratic accountability in the City of London. The SMTA has declared its intention to campaign to make the City more democratically accountable by increasing the voter base. This alone will not solve the problem – it will also need more people to be willing to stand for election and ensure that no election in future is uncontested.

  • Arthur Morrison, the 'Jago', and the Realist
    ARTHUR MORRISON, THE ‘JAGO’, AND THE REALIST REPRESENTATION OF PLACE Submitted in Fulfillment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy UCL Department of English Language and Literature Eliza Cubitt 2015 ABSTRACT In vitriolic exchanges with the critic H.D. Traill, Arthur Morrison (1863-1945) argued that the term ‘realist’ was impossible to define and must be innately subjective. Traill asserted that Morrison’s A Child of the Jago (1896) was a failure of realism, conjuring a place that ‘never did and never could exist.’ And yet, by 1900, the East End slum fictionalised in Morrison’s novel had been supplanted by the realist mythology of his account: ‘Jago’ had become, and remains, an accepted term to describe the real historical slum, the Nichol. This thesis examines Morrison’s contribution to the late-Victorian realist representation of the urban place. It responds to recent renewed interest about realism in literary studies, and to revived debates surrounding marginal writers of urban literature. Opening with a biographical study, I investigate Morrison’s fraught but intimate lifelong relationship with the East End. Morrison’s unadorned prose represents the late-Victorian East End as a site of absolute ordinariness rather than absolute poverty. Eschewing the views of outsiders, Morrison re- placed the East End. Since the formation of The Arthur Morrison Society in 2007, Morrison has increasingly been the subject of critical examination. Studies have so frequently focused on evaluating the reality behind Morrison’s fiction that his significance to late-nineteenth century “New Realism” and the debates surrounding it has been overlooked. This thesis redresses this gap, and states that Morrison’s work signifies an artistic and temporal boundary of realism.

    Dickens’s London Dickens’s Edinburgh Critical Studies in Victorian Culture Edinburgh Critical Studies in Victorian Culture Series Editor: Julian Wolfreys Drawing on provocative research, volumes in the series provide timely revisions of the nineteenth- century’s literature and culture. Dickens’s London Perception, Subjectivity and Phenomenal Urban Multiplicity Julian Wolfreys Dickens’s London This phenomenological exploration of the streets of Dickens’s London opens up new perspectives on the city and the writer Perception, Subjectivity and ‘In this ground-breaking and stylish new work, Julian Wolfreys deploys philosophy and theory expertly Phenomenal Urban Multiplicity to present a rich account of Dickens’s London as a dynamic, lived world of issues, energy and marvels, capturing the vitality and intensity of Dickens’s encounter with the city. A benchmark of innovative literary criticism.’ Nick Mansfield, Professor of Critical and Cultural Studies, Macquarie University Julian Wolfreys Taking Benjamin’s Arcades Project as an inspiration, Dickens’s London opens a dialogue between phenomenology, philosophy and the Dickensian representation of the city in all its forms. Wolfreys suggests that in their representations of London Dickens’s novels and journalism can be seen as Julian Wolfreys Julian forerunners of urban and material phenomenology. While also addressing those aspects of the urban that are developed from Dickens’s interpretations of other literary forms, styles and genres, Dickens’s London presents in twenty-six episodes a radical reorientation to London in the nineteenth century, the development of Dickens as a writer, and the ways in which readers today receive and perceive both.
