John Greenleaf Whittier the Quaker
John Greenleaf Whittier The Quaker By G. MARSHALL TAYLOR FRIENDS' HISTORICAL SOCIETY FRIENDS HOUSE, EUSTON'ROAD, LONDON, N.W.i J954 PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY HEADLEY BROTHERS LTD 109 KINGSWAY LONDON WC2 AND ASHFORD KENT John Greenleaf Whittier Introductory ANY of us have been engaged in one way or another in commemorating an event that took place three Mhundred years ago, an event which provided the springboard for the launching of the Quaker movement throughout the world. Since then there have been many, many members of the Society of Friends, who have tried, and successfully so, to follow the pattern as set forth by George Fox and the early Friends. In America Rufus M. Jones selected two persons as being the outstanding Friends of their particular century, John Woolman for the eighteenth, and John Greenleaf Whittier for the nineteenth. We of this century could rightfully nominate Rufus Jones to represent us in the present era. It is my purpose to give particular attention to John Greenleaf Whittier, and it is perhaps appropriate to consider how much we are indebted to Whittier not for his poetry alone, but for the many different facets of his character and life. Friends on both sides of the Atlantic have long sung the praises of Whittier's poetry, best exemplified in a letter I received from a member of London4 Yearly Meeting, in which he stated, " I owe far more to Whittier and Lowell than to all our English poets put together," and London Yearly Meeting in its Christian Life, Faith and Thought devotes almost as much space quoting Whittier as it does to George Fox ; and in commemorating the three hundredth anniversary of an outstanding event in Fox's life, it is not out of place to give attention to Whittier, the one hundred and fiftieth anni versary of whose birth is soon to take place. -

THE INFLUENCE of the CHURCH PENITENTIARY MOVEMENT on Chrlstina ROSSETTI's SISTER-P
"THERE IS NO FRIEND LIKE A SISTER": THE INFLUENCE OF THE CHURCH PENITENTIARY MOVEMENT ON CHRlSTINA ROSSETTI'S SISTER-POEMS, 1858-1860 By SCOTI ROGERS Bachelor of Arts The University of Southern Mississippi Hattiesburg, Mississippi 1994 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS December, 1997 "THERE IS NO FRIEND LIKE A SISTER": THE INFLUENCE OF THE CHURCH PENITENTIARY MOVEMENT ON CHRISTINA ROSSETTI'S SISTER-POEMS, 1858-1860 Thesis Approved: Thesis Advisor . n ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS No one writes in isolation, and I have been fortunate enough to have been surrounded by teachers, friends and loved ones patient enough to sit and listen to my thoughts as I worked through the major ideas contained in this thesis from its amorphous, formative moments right up untd the end. Dr. Linda Austin has been a patient reader and critic of my thesis, despite having been subjected to some of its most pathetic moments. Her excellent guidance and thoughtful nudges have been instrumental in shaping my original thoughts on this subject. Dr. Edward Jones has been a receptive listener to my attempts to keep him informed on my progress, as well as to my assurances that I would «get him something soon." I hope that Dr. Martin Wal1en finds that his insistence that I work on weekends and holidays has paid off I am forever indebted to the interlibrary loan office of Edmon Low library, whose employees often went above and beyond the call of duty in procuring for me some extremely rare material, all the while taking in stride my own pickiness about editions of books which haven't been published in over 100 years. -
Identity and the Victorian Woman Poet: Working in and Against the Poetess Tradition
IDENTITY AND THE VICTORIAN WOMAN POET: WORKING IN AND AGAINST THE POETESS TRADITION by STEPHANIE JENNER A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY Department of English Literature College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham October 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This study asserts that many Victorian women poets were engaged in processes of challenging, interrogating and reconstructing the Poetess Tradition. In doing so, these women asserted control over the construction of their identities as women writers. This contradicts the image unfortunately constructed by previous scholarship, where reclamation of Victorian women poets has depicted them as passive victims of culturally institutionalised oppression. Instead, many women poets devised and applied a complex amalgamation of poetic styles and methods to trouble the limitations placed upon them due to their gender. This study investigates some of the many methods by which women poets worked in and against the Poetess Tradition, namely the adoption of a pseudonym, the construction of a new female poetics, and the use of a dramatised speaker. -

Writing with “one hand for the booksellers”: Victorian Poetry and the Illustrated Literary Periodical of the 1860s by Caley Liane Ehnes BA, University of Alberta, 2005 MA, University of Victoria, 2007 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English Caley Liane Ehnes, 2014 University of Victoria All rights reserved.

Each chapter examines the poetry and poetics of a single periodical title and addresses several key issues related to the publication of poetry in the periodical press: the power and influence of illustrated poetry in contemporary visual culture, the intended audience of the literary periodical and the issues that raises for editors and poets, the sociology and networks of print, and the ways in which periodical poetry participated in contemporary debates about prosody. -
Rethinking Fallenness in Victorian Women's

Dr. Linda Austin has been a kind and patient reader of this work, and it is to her attention that much of the shape of the argument is indebted. She has been willing to sort through chapters and bits of argument that should never have seen the light of day, and her comments were always extraordinarily helpful to my thinking on this subject. Dr. Robert Mayer's close readings of draft versions of this dissertation have be,en enormously helpful in sharpening my arguments and forcing me to break from bad habits both in my writing and in my thinking on the subject. Additionally, his counsel on matters of the profession have been much valued over the years, and I am indebted to him for nominating me for university fellowships and awards, all of ~hich have eased somewhat the financial burden of ,.J·' graduate school during the writing of this study. -
John Woolman, His Clothes and His Journal Geoffrey Plank
Slavery and Abolition Vol. 30, No. 1, March 2009, pp. 67–91 The First Person in Antislavery Literature: John Woolman, his Clothes and his Journal Geoffrey Plank In his lifetime John Woolman (1720–1772) drew attention to himself with his unusual behavior, his expressive demeanor and his clothes. He sought to become a ‘sign’ directing others toward a way of life without exploitation or slavery. After his death and the pub- lication of his journal, he was celebrated as the most important figure in the campaign to turn the Quakers against slaveholding. Woolman’s self-presentation, contemporary responses to him, and the posthumous commemoration of him provide an indication of the power and significance of personal narrative within Quakerism and in antislavery politics in Britain and America. In 1847 John Greenleaf Whittier published a series of essays entitled “Quaker Slave- holding, and How it Was Abolished.” Whittier identified 1742 as a critical year, when “an event, simple and inconsiderable in itself, was made the instrumentality of exerting a mighty influence upon slavery in the Society of Friends.” Some time during that year a shopkeeper in Mount Holly, New Jersey sold a slave woman and asked his clerk to write up the bill of sale. On taking up his pen, the young clerk felt a sudden and strong scruple in his mind. The thought of writing an instrument of slavery for one of his fellow creatures oppressed him. God’s voice against the desecration of His image spoke in his soul. He yielded to the will of his employer, but, while writing the instrument, he was constrained to declare, both to the buyer and the seller, that he believed slave- keeping inconsistent with the Christian religion. -
The Way of Light Durham to Heavenfield
1 From Durham to Heavenfield Introduction This guide describes the pilgrimage route between the shrine of St Cuthbert at Durham Cathedral and Heavenfield. All the Northern Saints Trails use the same waymark shown on the left. The total distance is 72 kilometres or 45 miles. The route is divided into five sections of between 8 to 18 kilometres in distance. The route was originally described from Heavenfield to Durham, so walking in this direction you will follow the sections in reverse order. There is no public transport close to places on the 18 kilometre section between Blanchland and Hexham. Points of interest are described in red. This route has particular associations with three of the northern saints. Durham Cathedral is dedicated to St Cuthbert and there is a story about St Cuthbert from Lanchester and a pile of stones bearing his name on the moors between Edmundbyers and Blanchland. Hexham is strongly associated with St Wilfrid and the route ends at Heavenfield which is a sacred site associated with St Oswald. Heavenfield is also the start or the finish of St Oswald’s Way between Heavenfield and Lindisfarne. For the dedicated walker, combining The Way of Light with St Oswald’s Way provides a 142 mile route between the Durham and Lindisfarne - the two most important pilgrimage sites in the region. There are a number of reasons why the name Way of Light has been chosen for this route. The Way of Light is characterised by spaciousness and wide expansive views across the moors and hills you cross on your way to Heavenfield. -
