UCLA Electronic Theses and Dissertations UCLA UCLA Electronic Theses and Dissertations Title After Time: Romanticism and Anachronism Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4f2618ws Author Nicholson, Michael Publication Date 2016 Peer reviewed|Thesis/dissertation eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles After Time: Romanticism and Anachronism A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English by Michael Anthony Nicholson 2016 © Copyright by Michael Anthony Nicholson 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION After Time: Romanticism and Anachronism by Michael Anthony Nicholson Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Helen E. Deutsch, Co-Chair Professor Anne K. Mellor, Co-Chair Before, during, and after the long Romantic era, Europe experimented with new technological modes of measuring and telling time with clock and calendar: Thomas Tompion, the “Father of English Watchmaking,” manufactured thousands of timepieces in the 1700s, Britain erased eleven days from the calendar in the 1750s, France turned back the hands of time to Year One in the 1790s, and the British Railway Clearing House adopted Greenwich Mean Time in the 1840s. At the same moment, English poets from a broad range of backgrounds were developing new poetic strategies of anachronism (in its literal, etymological sense of “against time”) to contest the increasing dominance of what I call “imperial time”: the new clock-based, machine-regulated, and strictly standardized temporality used to enforce a forward-moving narrative of empire. My research highlights the central role of poetry in asserting a new ii chronopolitics that enacts powerfully untimely rhythms in order to reform entrenched cultural and economic institutions. Historical and historicist works from the eighteenth century to the present portray anachronism as the sign of error and backwardness. “After Time” alternatively argues that intentional anachronism is neither the emblem of indefensible inaccuracy nor the mark of cultural primitivism. Rather than opposing anachronism to history, my dissertation historicizes anachronism. Revising instead of abandoning history, the poems of Mary Leapor, Elizabeth Benger, Joanna Southcott, and Lucy Aikin build alternative feminist traditions out of the new imperialist teleologies that tied tropes of chronological progress to the Garden of Eden and the feminization of culture. By comparison, both new transatlantic anthologies of fugitive pieces and the more urbane occasional verses of Horace Walpole and Lord Byron defy this new time program by variously relating ephemeral scraps and fading inks to a series of fleeting figures: juvenile poetasters, fugitive slaves, and queer cosmopolitans. The works of William Wordsworth and John Clare, by contrast, connect an increasingly obsolete sense of local, agrarian time with circular and belated lyric temporalities. Finally, the epics and odes of William Blake, John Keats, and Percy Bysshe Shelley move after time—beyond anachronism and toward timelessness—in order to explore the ethical and aesthetic possibilities of eternity. Taken together, these writers offer us new ways of understanding the power of poetic form to reshape time’s binds. iii The dissertation of Michael Anthony Nicholson is approved. Joseph E.

Anne inspired me to attend UCLA, and has been a true advocate ever since. Her encyclopedic mind has enriched my work and broadened the horizons of my Romanticism. From the first, Helen challenged me to think more subtly about the roots of Romantic poetry. Her teaching continues to transform my thinking about lyric form and literary theory. I am forever grateful to both of my advisors for their incandescent brilliance, unwavering cheer, and fast friendship. Joseph Bristow is a stellar and selfless mentor who has guided my scholarship to fortuitous ends. Joe has offered professional advice and care at every turn, and his steady influence will be felt throughout these pages. Kathryn Norberg’s interdisciplinary insights on the poetics of time have tremendously improved this project. Celeste Langan moved me to study Romanticism as an undergraduate, and Saree Makdisi further motivated the origins of this project. I have long benefited from the intellectual influence and judicious editorship of Michael C. Cohen, Sarah Tindal Kareem, and Anahid Nersessian. Ali Behdad, Jonathan H. Grossman, Ursula Heise, Christopher Looby, Christopher Mott, and Felicity A. Nussbaum have offered wisdom and fellowship. Several more generous friends and colleagues have accompanied me on this journey. Katherine L. Bergren, Daniel Couch, Lindsay Wilhelm, and Amy R. Wong have been my most steadfast comrades and skillful critics. I have also appreciated the delightful company of Alex Zobel, Beatrice Sanford Russell, Ronjaunee Chatterjee, Alex Eric Hernandez, Alex L. Milsom, Sarah Nance, Jordan Wingate, Grant Rosson, Gillian Adler, Ian Newman, Fuson Wang, Taylor Walle, Conor O’Sullivan, Dustin Friedman, and Amanda Hollander. x A dissertation-year fellowship at the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library provided welcome research support for my archival work on the fugitive poetics of Lord Byron. A visiting fellowship at the Lewis Walpole Library was instrumental to my work on Horace Walpole and anachronism. I would also like to acknowledge the astute feedback of those who attended my research presentations at NASSR, ASECS, MLA, the Dickens Project Conference, and Indisciplines of Enlightenment. The faculty and graduate students of McGill University and The University of Toronto offered brilliant comments on lectures drawn from this study. Thomas and Melody Nicholson have encouraged and supported my aspirations every step of the way. My deepest debts are to Lauren Clifford, without whose unfailing wit and companionship this project would not have been possible.

Fellers August, 2013 A STUDY IN CONTRASTS: MARY COLLIER AND MARY LEAPOR’S DIVERSE CONTRIBUTIONS TO EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY BRITISH LABORING-CLASS WOMEN’S POETRY _________________ An Abstract of a Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Department of English University of Houston _________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy _________________ By Kathy G. Fellers August, 2013 ABSTRACT Mary Collier and Mary Leapor (two of the first laboring-class female authors) share many characteristics, least of which is their desire to be writers and to depict and comment on gender and class dynamics more accurately than had been done before. This artistic focus on “the gap between the ideal and the real” (Messenger 172-174) is partly rooted in the mode of satire where writers create irony by contrasting more realistic images or situations with idealized ones (often implicitly). Part of satire’s purpose is amusement, but equally important is its social critique. Hence, Collier and Leapor are very much writers of their age, yet while they both reflect the writing impulses of the eighteenth-century, they draw from a mixture of different writing traditions. Moreover, their differing economic, creative, and educational circumstances make for significant differences in their writing, despite their common laboring-class backgrounds.

  • Anna Laetitia Barbauld
    Anna Laetitia Barbauld Avery Simpson “The dead of midnight is the noon of thought” (Barbauld, “A Summer Evening’s Meditation”) By Richard Samuel, “Portraits in the Characters of the Muses in the Temple of Apollo” (1778) Early Life Born on June 20, 1743 in Leicestershire, United Kingdom to Jane and John Aikin. Her mother served as her teacher in her early years, and her father John was a Presbyterian minister and leader of a dissenting academy. Because of her father’s job, Anna had the opportunity to learn many subjects deemed “unnecessary” for women to know, such Latin, Greek, French, and Italian. At age 15, her father accepted a position at Warrington Academy, which proved influential in her life and writing career. While at Warrington, Anna established lifelong friendships such as philosopher Joseph Priestley, and French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat. Most of Barbauld’s early poems and writings were written during her time at Warrington Academy.

  • THE WARRINGTON DISPENSARY LIBRARY* By
    THE WARRINGTON DISPENSARY LIBRARY* by R. GUEST-GORNALL What wild desire, what restless torments seize, The hapless man who feels the book-disease, If niggard fortune cramp his generous mind And Prudence quench the Spark of heaven assigned With wistful glance his aching eyes behold The Princeps-copy, clad in blue and gold, Where the tall Book-case, with partition thin Displays, yet guards, the tempting charms within. John Ferriar (1761-1815) THAT the thousand or more items comprising the Warrington Dispensary old library have been preserved intact is due to Sir William Osler, whose fame as a scholarly student of medical history is second only to his great repute as a clinical teacher, and also to the opportunity given him by his arrival in England in 1904 to take up his latest academic appointment as Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford. If he was seized with a wild desire to possess the tempting charms of this unique collection it was because he wished to help to build up the library of the School of Medicine at Johns Hopkins which he had just left after fifteen years and which was still in its early days, having been founded in 1893; that no niggard fortune cramped this generous impulse was due to William A. Marburg who paid for them. In the words of Professor Singer, Osler was a true book lover to whom the very sight and touch of an ancient document brought a subtle pleasure, and he would quite understand what Ferriarl meant in the lines above; in fact he had an elegantly bound copy of the poem, printed in Warrington, which was given him with several other books from the same press by his friend Sir Walter Fletcher with the following note.

  • “[America] May Be Conquered with More Ease Than Governed”: the Evolution of British Occupation Policy During the American Revolution
    “[AMERICA] MAY BE CONQUERED WITH MORE EASE THAN GOVERNED”: THE EVOLUTION OF BRITISH OCCUPATION POLICY DURING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION John D. Roche A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Wayne E. Lee Kathleen DuVal Joseph T. Glatthaar Richard H. Kohn Jay M. Smith ©2015 John D. Roche ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT John D. Roche: “[America] may be conquered with more Ease than governed”: The Evolution of British Occupation Policy during the American Revolution (Under the Direction of Wayne E. Lee) The Military Enlightenment had a profound influence upon the British army’s strategic culture regarding military occupation policy. The pan-European military treatises most popular with British officers during the eighteenth century encouraged them to use a carrot-and-stick approach when governing conquered or rebellious populations. To implement this policy European armies created the position of commandant. The treatises also transmitted a spectrum of violence to the British officers for understanding civil discord. The spectrum ran from simple riot, to insurrection, followed by rebellion, and culminated in civil war. Out of legal concerns and their own notions of honor, British officers refused to employ military force on their own initiative against British subjects until the mob crossed the threshold into open rebellion. However, once the people rebelled the British army sought decisive battle, unhindered by legal interference, to rapidly crush the rebellion. The British army’s bifurcated strategic culture for suppressing civil violence, coupled with its practical experiences from the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715 to the Regulator Movement in 1771, inculcated an overwhelming preference for martial law during military campaigns.
