Revised by Amy Braitsch, 2007 and AnneMarie Anderson in 2010. This finding aid was produced using ArchivesSpace. Immediate Source of Acquisition The sources for the bulk of this material pre-date the establishment of the Burns Library accessioning system in 1986, and are not possible to know exactly. Research in the Special Collections Accession Register (1948-1962) indicates that several letters in this collection were gathered from the Seymour Adelman Collection of Thompson materials (purchased 1937), and other letters were gifts from donors including: Joseph Auslander, John J. Burns, Friends of the Boston College Library, Shane Leslie, M. Paraclita, and Thompson Foundation. The source of the rest of the correspondence may have been either Wilfrid Meynell himself or Viola Meynell. Processing Information In 2010, the collections previously known as Wilfrid Meynell Collection and Wilfrid Meynell Correspondence were combined into this iteration of the Wilfrid Meynell Collection. At this time, two folders (originally W. M. Collection box 2, folder 1 and W. M. Correspondence box 1, folder 15) were interfiled within correspondence series.

Wilfrid Meynell collection MS.1986.042 - Page 4 - Biographical Note Wilfrid Meynell (1852-1948) was raised as a Quaker and converted to Catholicism at eighteen. He considered becoming a chemist, but he also spent time filling commonplace books, an activity which informed both his writing and his life. Meynell contributed verses to Emily Priestman's Simple Tales (1873) and not long after co-authored Verses by Three Friends. Meynell was brought into the publication trade by Fr. William Lockhart, another convert to Catholicism. Meynell saw Lockhart as a model not only for professional Catholic journalism, but also for Christian charity and patience. Such values were implicit in Meynell's befriending of the long-struggling poet Francis Thompson and in regular charity to the poor and hungry in London. Wilfrid Meynell married the Catholic poet Alice C. Thompson in 1877. Together, they had seven children. In 1880, the Meynells undertook their first, short-lived, publishing enterprise, The Pen, to which both contributed. Not long after the failure of The Pen, Wilfrid was made editor of The Weekly Register. It was during this period that the couple conceived of Merry England, the liberal Catholic literary magazine that secured their position over the next decade or so. As editor and sole proprietor of Merry England, and as the husband of Alice Meynell, Wilfrid was at the center of a prominent, mainly Catholic, literary circle that included John Lane, Shane Leslie, Coventry Patmore, and Francis Thompson. This circle was extended by Meynell's son, Francis, who was also a publisher (Nonesuch Press), and daughter, the novelist and biographer Viola Meynell. In later years, Wilfrid resided at the family estate at Greatham, Sussex, which had been purchased with the modest prosperity afforded by the Meynells' literary endeavors. The fact that they were helped along in securing the estate with revenue generated by posthumous editions of Francis Thompson's works was fitting given their support of the poet over the years. Perhaps also fitting was the transatlantic friendship that developed between Wilfrid Meynell and Terrence Connolly, SJ, the Francis Thompson enthusiast responsible for securing the Seymour Adelman collection of Thompson materials for Boston College. Connolly was in correspondence with Meynell for over fifteen years and later credited him for his generosity in filling out the Thompson collection at Boston College. Wilfrid Meynell died in 1948, at 96 years of age. Sources: Connolly, Terrence. "Special Collections and Catholic Renascence," The Catholic Renascence in a Disintegrating World.

Scope and Contents The Wilfrid Meynell Collection consists primarily of correspondence, with incoming correspondence from other writers, editors, and publishers, and a significant amount of the outgoing correspondence to Wilfrid Meynell collection MS.1986.042 - Page 5 - Terrence Connolly, SJ, at Boston College. Other correspondents include Hilaire Belloc, Wilfrid Scawen Blunt, John Lane, Shane Leslie, Edith Sitwell, and Wilfrid Ward. Some correspondence belonging to other Meynell family members and Meynell's business associates is also included. Of note is a copy of a letter to Everard, Meynell's son, from Arthur Symons. Also included are royalty notices and receipts, primarily those associated with Francis Thompson for whom Wilfrid sometimes provided finanical assistance; proofs of artices and reviews for Merry England; notes on ecclesiastical events in mid-nineteenth century Rome; and photographs, including one of Shane Leslie delivering a lecture and a group of photographs taken of the Francis Thompson Room at the John J. Burns Library at Boston College. The collection also contains two signed first edition copies of Wilfrid Meynell's Rhymes with Reasons and an autographed copy of his poem "I die daily."

So dominant had become the demands of a journalism that catered to a flourishing middle-class public de­ termined to achieve an easy method to "culture," that the literary critic of this period, the eighties and nineties, devised an artificial tradition by which he could protect himself against the democratic so­ ciety with which he was acutely dissatisfied. This tradition was, therefore, conservative in nature. Its values, based on customary taste and training, were selected primarily as a refuge against both the con­ temporary American society

  • About Natstand Family Documents
    natstand: last updated 24/02/2018 URL: www.natstand.org.uk/pdf/MennellHT000.pdf Root person: Mennell, Henry Tuke (1835 - 1923) Description: Family document Creation date: 2018 January 26 Prepared by: Richard Middleton Notes: Press items reproduced with kind permission of The British Newspaper Archive (www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk) About Natstand family documents: A Natstand family document is intended to provide background information concerning the family of a deceased naturalist. It is hoped that such information will form a framework which will help interpret their surviving correspondence, specimens and records. In some cases it will also give an insight into the influences on their early lives and the family constraints within which they worked and collected. We have found that published family data concerning individuals rarely contain justification for dates and relationships and not infrequently contain errors which are then perpetuated. The emphasis in Natstand family documents will be on providing references to primary sources, whenever possible, which will be backed-up with transcriptions. Although a Natstand biography page will always carry a link to a family document, in many cases these documents will be presented without any further biographical material. We anticipate that this will occur if the person is particularly well known or is someone we are actively researching or have only a peripheral interest in. The following conventions are used: Any persons in the family tree with known natural history associations will be indicated in red type. Any relationships will be to the root naturalist unless otherwise stated. Dates are presented Year – Month – Day e.g. 1820 March 9 or 1820.3.9 1820 March or 1820.3 Dates will be shown in bold type if a reliable reference is presented in the document.

  • Turn of the Century Women's Poetry the Context It Needs to Be Appreciated, Understood, and Valued
    NINETEENTH-CENTURY GENDER STUDIES ISSUE 13.3 (WINTER 2017) Turn of the Century Women’s Poetry: Skirting the Problems of Periodization By LeeAnne M. Richardson, Georgia State University <1>This essay proposes a paradigm shift in the way we analyze late-nineteenth century women’s poetry. The ongoing recovery of late-Victorian women poets has both enabled and invigorated the study of women’s poetry, and to accommodate and understand these new voices, scholars have offered two major conceptual categories: “female aesthetes” and “new woman poets.” These models have proved useful but the more scholars have worked with them, the more they have seen the need for additional or alternate descriptive categories. Addressing periodization and arguing that it is especially problematic in regard to late-century women poets, this essay proposes a new period category—turn of the century women’s poetry—wedded to a new formalist approach. This reconceptualization has multiple benefits: an alternative for theorizing women’s poetry that does not depend on the domestic/poetess model; a non-deterministic period category that does not smooth over contradictions and oppositions; a frame for the recovered voices of women poets that accommodates their differences while accounting for their coherence; and a vision that looks both to the past and toward the future for a clearer picture of women’s poetic production.(1) In order to establish the value of looking toward the Edwardian era when interpreting the social and institutional forms represented in turn of the century women’s poetry, the essay outlines some post-1900 forms and contexts that both emerge from and provide critical frames of reference for poems of the earlier period.

Abstract Alice Christiana Gertrude Meynell (1847-1922) English writer, editor, critic, suffragist and poet. The collection contains ten letters sent by Meynell to a Mrs. Burchett. The letters are believed to have been written before 1877. Information on Use Access The collection is open for research. Citation When quoting material from this collection, the preferred citation is: Meynell, Alice. Correspondence, [Box #, Folder #], Special Collections Research Center, University of Chicago Library. Biographical Note Alice Christiana Gertrude Meynell was born in October 11, 1847, in Barnes, London, to Thomas James and Christiana Thompson. As a child, she and her family moved around England, Switzerland, and France, though Meynell spent most of her youth in Italy. Meynell published her first collection of poetry, Preludes, in 1875. Though it received little public attention, the famed English art critic John Ruskin praised her work. Meynell converted to the Catholic Church at some point prior to 1868 and her family followed suit. Her conversion focused her writing in religious matters. This new focus led her to meet a Catholic newspaper editor, Wilfrid Meynell (1852-1948) in 1876.

  • Alice Meynell As Mother, Mentor, and Muse
    1 “Authorship Prevails in Nurseries”: Alice Meynell as Mother, Mentor, and Muse Kirsty Bunting Department of Interdisciplinary Studies, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, UKABSTRACT Viola Meynell was raised in an at-home magazine office and trained in aestheticist poetry of the 1890s by her mother, Alice Meynell. Making use of extensive and previously unpublished correspondence between Alice and Viola from the Meynell family archive, this essay charts Viola’s rebellious turn towards the novel form and early experimental modernism, and her rebellion’s impact on the mother-daughter relationship. The two women wrote about each other in myriad poetry, essays, fiction, and biography, and, when read side by side, these writings offer an intriguing picture of their lives together and trace alternating periods of generational distance and intimacy. Specifically, the article traces Alice’s reification in print as ideal wife, mother, and homemaker, and contrasts this ideal with Viola’s daily observations of her mother. Before and after Alice’s death, Viola fought to demythologize, reclaim, celebrate, and mourn the real Alice Meynell in her work, while her own literary reputation was damaged by her association with the domestic and her prolonged apprenticeship under her mother. Alice Meynell (1847-1922) had her literary apprenticeship under the instruction of the high- Victorian literary giants of her parents’ bohemian circle, including Coventry Patmore, Ruskin, and Tennyson. She became one of the most celebrated female poets and essayists of the 1890s, contending for the role of Poet Laureate.1 Brought up to the profession of poet, Alice similarly apprenticed her own children, and she tutored none more intensively than her daughter Viola (1885-1956), the only of Alice’s eight children who would go on to make a living by writing.
