  • 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’.

    1 “The Times are Unexampled”: Literature in the Age of Machinery, 1830–1850 Constructing the Man of Letters “The whole world here is doing a Tarantula Dance of Political Reform, and has no ear left for literature.” So Carlyle complained to Goethe in August of 1831 (Carlyle 1970–2006: v.327). He was not alone: the great stir surrounding prospects for electoral reform seemed for the moment to crowd aside all other literary interests. The agitation, how- ever, helped to shape a model of critical reflection that gave new weight to literature. The sense of historical rupture announced on all sides was on this view fundamentally a crisis of belief – what a later generation would call an ideological crisis. Traditional forms of faith that under- girded both the English state and personal selfhood were giving way; the times required not merely new political arrangements, but new grounds of identity and belief. Of course, that very designation reflected a skeptical castCOPYRIGHTED of mind. New myths, it seemed, MATERIAL could no longer be found in sacred texts and revelations. They would be derived from sec- ular writings and experience – something that came to be called “litera- ture” in our modern sense of the term. And the best guide to that trove of possibility would be a figure known as “the man of letters.” The most resonant versions of this story were honed through an unlikely literary exchange. In 1831 Carlyle (1795–1881), struggling to eke out a living as an author in the remote Scottish hamlet of Craigenputtoch, came upon “The Spirit of the Age,” a series of articles 99780631220824_4_001.indd780631220824_4_001.indd 2277 112/29/20082/29/2008 33:15:55:15:55 PPMM 28 Literature in the Age of Machinery, 1830–1850 in the London Examiner by John Stuart Mill (1806–73).

It was exhibited at the Royal Dublin Society in 1906, but is a legacy of the foundation of lace-schools in Ireland during the 1840s and 1850s by nuns and middle-class women for the purpose of providing an income for girls whose families were directly affected by the Famine. The Presentation Convent in Youghal is frequently cited as the origin of the Famine lace industry. Mother Mary Ann Smith took a piece of old Italian lace, unravelled its threads one by one, and taught herself to make it, before teaching the girls at the convent school to do the same, and then opening a lace school in 1852.2 In his 1886 history of Irish lace, Ben Lindsey hints at a reason why Youghal was an apposite location for the revival of lace-making as a relief measure during the Famine: as the former home of Sir Walter Raleigh, it was ‘the place where the first potato took root in Irish soil’.3 Lace-making in Ireland had a longer history, however.

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-06484-3 - The Cambridge Companion to: Victorian Women’s Writing Edited by Linda H. Peterson Frontmatter More information the cambridge companion to victorian women’s writing The Cambridge Companion to Victorian Women’s Writing brings together chapters by leading scholars to provide innovative and comprehensive coverage of Victorian women writers’ careers and literary achievements. While incorpor- ating the scholarly insights of modern feminist criticism, it also reflects new approaches to women authors that have emerged with the rise of book history; periodical studies; performance studies; postcolonial studies; and scholarship on authorship, readership, and publishing. It traces the Victorian woman writer’s career – from making her debut to working with publishers and editors to achieving literary fame – and challenges previous thinking about genres in which women contributed with success. Chapters on poetry, including a discus- sion of poetry in colonial and imperial contexts, reveal women’s engagements with each other and with male writers. Discussions on drama, life-writing, reviewing, history, travel writing, and children’s literature uncover the remark- able achievement of women in fields relatively unknown. linda h. peterson is Niel Gray, Jr. Professor of English at Yale University.

    A History of Victorian Literature A History of Victorian Literature James Eli Adams © 2009 James Eli Adams ISBN: 978-0-631-22082-4 9780631220824_1_pretoc.indd i 12/26/2008 6:10:33 PM BLACKWELL HISTORIES OF LITERATURE General editor: Peter Brown, University of Kent, Canterbury The books in this series renew and redefine a familiar form by recog- nizing that to write literary history involves more than placing texts in chronological sequence. Thus the emphasis within each volume falls both on plotting the significant literary developments of a given period, and on the wider cultural contexts within which they occurred. ‘Cultural history’ is construed in broad terms and authors address such issues as politics, society, the arts, ideologies, varieties of literary pro- duction and consumption, and dominant genres and modes. The effect of each volume is to give the reader a sense of possessing a crucial sector of literary terrain, of understanding the forces that give a period its distinctive cast, and of seeing how writing of a given period impacts on, and is shaped by, its cultural circumstances.
