HORACE WALPOLE and the NEW TASTE for GOTHIC by RONALD
HORACE WALPOLE AND THE NEW TASTE FOR GOTHIC by RONALD BARRY HATCH B.A., University of British Columbia, 1963 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of ENGLISH We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA September, 1964 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study.

No attempt has been made, except in an incidental way, to treat the initial flourishing of Gothic architecture; that the reader has at least a passing acquaintance with the architecture of the Middle Ages is assumed. Instead, the emphasis has been placed upon the Gothic survival of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; as Gothic architecture was virtually eclipsed during this period, many readers may feel that this emphasis is unwarranted.

Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette English Faculty Research and Publications English, Department of 1-1-2012 Obsessing about the Catholic Other: Religion and the Secularization Process in Gothic Literature Diane Hoeveler Marquette University, [email protected] Published version. "Obsessing about the Catholic Other: Religion and the Secularization Process in Gothic Literature," in L'obsession à l'œuvre: littérature, cinéma et société en Grande-Bretagne. Eds. Jean- François Baiollon and Paul Veyret. Bourdeaux: CLIMAS, 2012: 15-32. Publisher Link. © 2012 CLIMAS. Used with permission. Obsessing about the Catholic Other: Religion and the Secularization Process in Gothic Literature Perhaps it was totally predictable that the past year has seen both the publication of a major book by Lennard Davis entitled Obsession!, as well as a new two player board game called "Obsession" in which one player wins by moving his ten rings along numbered slots. Interest in obsession, it would seem, is everywhere in high and low cultures. For Davis, obsession is both a cultural manifestation of what modernity has wrought, and a psychoanalytical phenomenon: in fact, he defines it as a recurring thought whose content has become disconnected from its original significance causing the dominance of repetitive mental intrusions (Davis 6). Recent studies have revealed that there are five broad categories of obsession: dirt and contamination, aggression, the placing of inanimate objects in order, sex, and finally religion2 Another recent study, however, claims that obsessive thoughts generally center on three main themes: the aggressive, the sexual, or the blasphemous (qtd. Davis 9). It is that last category - the blasphemous - that I think emerges in British gothic literature of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, particularly as seen in the persistent anti-Catholicism that plays such a central role in so many of those works (Radcliffe's The italian, Lewis's The Monk, and Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer being only the most obvious).

Given a Free Rein? Representations of Power in the Stables at Houghton Hall, Norfolk, and John Wootton's Sir Robert Walpole Wi
VIDES III JEMIMA HUBBERSTEY Given a free rein? Representations of power in the stables at Houghton Hall, Norfolk, and John Wootton’s Sir Robert Walpole with his Hunter and Groom When Sir Robert Walpole first rose to political power from humble origins, he had much to prove to the world. In order to consolidate his position as Prime Minister against the backdrop of the new Hanoverian dynasty, Walpole capitalised on extravagant displays of power, impressing political peers and local squires alike by inviting them for entertainment and hunting at his estate at Houghton Hall, Norfolk. This was hardly coincidental: although relatively unexplored in scholarship, historically, horses served as vehicles to showcase a man’s elite social standing and ability to govern. However, it was also important for Walpole to recognise the limits of his power in order to demonstrate that he was no threat to the monarchy. This study examines the stable architecture at Houghton Hall and the equestrian portrait of Walpole by John Wootton (1726) in order to demonstrate the extent to which equestrian representations could function as a metaphor for both power and submission, which is particularly pertinent when applied to the hierarchical relations between Prime Minister and King. riting to the Prince of Wales on July 14, 1731, Lord Hervey would remark that Sir Robert Walpole’s Houghton Hall in Norfolk was a paradigm of W‘taste, expense, state and parade.’1 This comment in itself is perhaps unsurprising – country houses, after all, have always been about display, founded and embellished as part of a conscious mission to establish a dynastic ‘line’.2 However, what makes this comment so interesting in Walpole’s case is that as the first Prime Minister, Walpole was essentially a commoner who had risen to power.

Horace Walpole's England
HORACE WALPOLE'S ENGLAND W. J. SYKES o many people of our day the eighteenth century makes a T. particular appeal. The present age is one of disillusion; the Victorian period is blamed (rightly or wrongly) as being the age of compro~e, the age of insecure foundations. Some, then, turn to the day before yesterday, the period before the French Revolution, and find a state of society that with all its faults has many at tractipns. Mr. Trevelyan has well expressed this idea: In the government of the country and the Empire there was much to blame as well as to praise, but no aristocracy has ever better fulfilled the functions for the performance of which aristocracy specially exists, but in which it too often fails-the intelligent patronage of art, philosophy, and literature, and the living of a many-sided and truly civilized life by means of wealth and leisure well applied .... It had faults, of which drunkenness and gambling were the worst, but it lived a life more completely and finely human than any, perhaps, that has been lived by a whole class since the days of the freemen of Athens. Among contemporary pictures of eighteenth century life in England given in memoirs and diaries, no other is drawn on so large scale or stands out with so great distinctness as that given in the Letters of Horace Walpole. Sir Leslie Stephen went so far as to say The History of England, throughout a very large segment of the eighteenth century is simply a synonym for the works of Horace Walpole ..

THE ILLNESSES and DEATH of ROBERT WALPOLE By
Medical History, 1982, 26: 421-428. THE ILLNESSES AND DEATH OF ROBERT WALPOLE by EDMUND ANTHONY SPRIGGS* ROBERT WALPOLE, later Earl of Orford, was born in 1676t in East Anglia, where urinary stone was common, and died in 1745 with this condition. The controversy about his death has been described by Jarvis,' who was particularly concerned with the pamphlet war, involving physicians, surgeons, and literary men, which followed it. Viseltear2 has more recently written an account of Walpole's last illness, with special reference to the treatment of urinary stone through the ages. My paper approaches the subject rather from the angle of a clinician. Walpole's mother is said to have had a stone in her kidney.3 His brother Horatio is described as having stone4 and gout.5 His putative youngest son, Horace, produced from his finger a gouty "chalkstone that I believe is worthy of a place in Mr Hunter's collection of human miseries".4 Walpole is said to have been born of a difficult labour, and to have been fed by a wet-nurse. He was one of a large family "prone to rickets and fever", many of whom died in infancy.' He had severe smallpox at Cambridge, and his physician, Master of Caius and a friend of Walpole's father, said to one of the Fellows of King's, "We must take care to save this young man, or we shall be accused ofhaving purposely neglected him, because he is so violent a Whig".6 As to Walpole's height, the authorities differ, but there is no disagreement that in * E.
