Lankewish Special Member Robert Caserio Professor of English Head of the Department of English *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT “Philanthropy, Welfare, and Early Twentieth-Century Literature” furthers the discussion of modernist literature and its relationship to modernity by showing the role of the philanthropy- versus-welfare debates in early twentieth-century fiction. I examine works by Virginia Woolf, Vita Sackville-West, Rebecca West, Ernest Hemingway, Anzia Yezierska, Edith Wharton, Wyndham Lewis, and E.M. Forster in the context of philanthropy, the birth of welfare, the professionalization of social work, the crisis of liberalism, the disintegration of the British Empire, immigration in the United States, and World War I. In addition to my inquiry into the historically constructed discourses and practices of philanthropy, I position my discussion of literature in relationship to recent critiques of Habermas’s account of the disintegration of the bourgeois public sphere and to Derrida’s work on the gift, and I argue that artistic engagements with philanthropy helped define twentieth-century notions about how to govern; how to conceive of class and gender boundaries; how to give; and how to market one’s labor, whether physical or intellectual. Early twentieth-century writers participated in the debates that shaped such milestones of contemporary social policy as the 1911 Insurance Act in Britain and Progressive and New Deal legislation in the United States. In order to trace the writers’ engagement with this “New Philanthropy,” I study recent scholarly works as well as contemporary publications like The Charities Review, The Salvation Army Yearbook, C.S. Loch’s Annual Charities and Digest, Burdett’s Hospital and Charities; modernist periodicals such as Blast, The Enemy, and The Egoist; and government documents like the “Louisiana Mothers’ Pension Statute” (1939) and the Hansard Report of the Royal Commission on the Poor Law and Relief of Distress and the “Louisiana Mothers’ Pension Statute” (1909). For most modern and modernist writers, as well as for Derrida, neither the state-based economy of gift-giving nor philanthropy represents true giving. As phenomena of giving, both philanthropy and welfare annul the gift. Yet modern writers’ discourses of philanthropy, welfare, and altruism are movements towards the promise of the gift; and just as they render an account of the (im)possibility of true giving, they carve out a place for modernist subjectivity, the modernist artist, the “New Woman,” the poor, the immigrant, and the colonial subject in the turbulent first decades of the twentieth century. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.........................................................................................vi Introduction..................................................................................................................1 Modernist Writers and Philanthropy ....................................................................2 Why Philanthropy and Welfare? ..........................................................................5 A History of British Philanthropy.........................................................................7 Methodology and Approach .................................................................................10 Women-Writers, Altruism, and Philanthropy in Early Twentieth-Century Britain.....23 Modernist Engagements with Philanthropy..........................................................25 All Passion Spent and Upper-Class Philanthropy.................................................29 “Charity Up-to-Date”: British Philanthropy Becomes Professional ....................34 Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and the New Philanthropy............................37 Between Old Philanthropy and the New: Mrs. Dalloway .............................38 The Gift of Painting: To the Lighthouse .......................................................44 The Causes of Poverty and Virginia Woolf’s Three Guineas .......................48 Three Guineas................................................................................................49 Conclusion ............................................................................................................57 Empire and Welfare .....................................................................................................59 Introduction...........................................................................................................59 Historical Perspectives on Empire and Welfare. ..................................................63 The Judge, The Salvation Army, and the “Little Englander.”..............................68 E.

Sadly, during August, a large branch fell off in the middle of the night, victim so the experts said to the phenomenon of ’summer drop’. Much to our relief we have been assured that the tree is otherwise in good health, subject to some pruning to balance what remains. So far as I’m aware that is the only negative change in the physical aspect of the College that I need to report. Work has continued on aspects of the fabric to ensure that the original Butterfield buildings are preserved and, where appropriate, enhanced. This has included a further phase of refurbishment of the rooms in Liddon Quad and of some of the floor tiling in the Hall. The main elements of a new lighting scheme in the Chapel have also been completed and, as a result, three valuable outcomes have been achieved: the mosaics are now visible,The Light of the World is lit to much better effect and the choir is able to read the music its members so ably perform.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Samuel Beckett and the Irish Bull A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of English School of Arts and Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Edmund Campion Walsh Washington, D.C. 2015 Samuel Beckett and the Irish Bull Edmund Campion Walsh, Ph.D. Director: Christopher Wheatley, Ph.D. “What is that unforgettable line?” This question, asked by Winnie in Samuel Beckett’s play Happy Days, epitomizes an enduring tradition for a decidedly non-traditional writer—the Irish bull. As much as he tried to distance himself from it, Beckett was the product of a culture that gave birth to writers from George Farquhar to Sean O’Casey, writers who trafficked in the self-contradictory utterances known as Irish bulls. Beckett’s Irish background and his use of bulls have received scholarly scrutiny in the past, but his place in the long-running tradition of bulls in Irish literature has not been thoroughly examined. Beckett was the inheritor of a legacy that traces back to seventeenth-century joke books and eighteenth-century stage conventions, a legacy kept alive by Maria Edgeworth’s novels, Dion Boucicault’s melodramas, Oscar Wilde’s satires, and the nationalist drama of the Abbey Theatre. By abstracting his settings and characters, Beckett achieved one of the major goals of the Abbey and its Irish predecessors: to reform prejudicial stereotypes found in stage Irish buffoonery. If characters stripped of national identities can utter as many or more bulls than stage Irish characters, self-contradiction is not merely the trait of a colonial people struggling with the English language.
