  • AWAR of INDIVIDUALS: Bloomsbury Attitudes to the Great
    2 Bloomsbury What were the anti-war feelings chiefly expressed outside ‘organised’ protest and not under political or religious banners – those attitudes which form the raison d’être for this study? As the Great War becomes more distant in time, certain actions and individuals become greyer and more obscure whilst others seem to become clearer and imbued with a dash of colour amid the sepia. One thinks particularly of the so-called Bloomsbury Group.1 Any overview of ‘alter- native’ attitudes to the war must consider the responses of Bloomsbury to the shadows of doubt and uncertainty thrown across page and canvas by the con- flict. Despite their notoriety, the reactions of the Bloomsbury individuals are important both in their own right and as a mirror to the similar reactions of obscurer individuals from differing circumstances and backgrounds. In the origins of Bloomsbury – well known as one of the foremost cultural groups of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods – is to be found the moral and aesthetic core for some of the most significant humanistic reactions to the war. The small circle of Cambridge undergraduates whose mutual appreciation of the thoughts and teachings of the academic and philosopher G.E. Moore led them to form lasting friendships, became the kernel of what would become labelled ‘the Bloomsbury Group’. It was, as one academic described, ‘a nucleus from which civilisation has spread outwards’.2 This rippling effect, though tem- porarily dammed by the keenly-felt constrictions of the war, would continue to flow outwards through the twentieth century, inspiring, as is well known, much analysis and interpretation along the way.

  • GARSINGTON OPERA to MOVE to WORMSLEY ESTATE, HOME of the GETTY FAMILY, in 2011 Submitted By: Clare Adams Publicity Thursday, 29 April 2010
    GARSINGTON OPERA TO MOVE TO WORMSLEY ESTATE, HOME OF THE GETTY FAMILY, IN 2011 Submitted by: Clare Adams Publicity Thursday, 29 April 2010 The Directors of Garsington Opera (http://www.garsingtonopera.org) are pleased to announce that Wormsley Estate, the home of the Getty family, is the preferred site for Garsington Opera with effect from the 2011 season. Garsington Opera, founded by the late Leonard Ingrams and his wife Rosalind in 1989, has established an enviable reputation over the last twenty-one years for promoting opera of the highest professional quality in an outdoor setting for a short summer season. Wormsley Estate is set within a magnificent historic landscape in the Chiltern Hills, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. An elegant pavilion auditorium will be created, to be assembled annually, sited close to an attractive collection of flinted buildings, not far from Wormsley House, and nestling in the beautiful deer park. After twenty-one years at Garsington Manor, Garsington Opera has been seeking a new location over the last two years and has reached agreement with Mark Getty to hold the festival at the Wormsley Estate from the summer of 2011. Garsington Opera has now started consultations with the local community, relevant authorities and other interested parties and shall be applying for planning consent. As well as being the setting of the famous cricket ground established by Sir Paul Getty, Wormsley enjoys an impressive two acre 18th century walled garden, a short drive away from the opera pavilion. The estate straddles the Oxfordshire / Buckinghamshire border. It is located close to the M40, is less than fifteen miles from Garsington Manor, and under an hour from central London.

    This work has been submitted to NECTAR, the Northampton Electronic Collection of Theses and Research. Conference or Workshop Item Title: Katherine Mansfield and T.S. Eliot Creator: Wilson, J. M. Example citation: Wilson, J. M. (2015) Katherine Mansfield and T.S. Eliot. Paper presented to: Katherine Mansfield and the 'Blooms Berries', Newberry Library, Chicago, USA, 28­30 May 2015. Version: Presented version Official URL: http://www.katherinemansfieldsociety.org/chicago­conference­ 2015/ NECTARhttp://nectar.northampton.ac.uk/7579/ Abstract: “Katherine Mansfield and T.S. Eliot” Katherine Mansfield and T. S. Eliot had a friendly yet fraught relationship in which an initial mutual admiration turned into wariness. Their literary acquaintance began with the Bloomsbury Circle, and Mansfield’s enthusiasm for The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock which she read out at Garsington Manor in June 1917, saying: ‘that’s what I want modern poetry to be’, and ‘it is after all, a short story’. Later she saw his poetry as ‘unspeakably dreary’, while he formed the view that she was ‘a thick skinned toady’, and ‘a dangerous WOMAN’. Eliot’s brief comments on Mansfield’s story ‘Bliss’ give some insight into his views of her work. This paper, however, aims to examine his modernism as a possible influence on on her artistic practice (evident in allusions to ’Preludes’, Prufrock and ‘Rhapsody on a Winter’s Night’), and the possible impact of his criticism and theories of art on her thinking (for example, her belief in the impersonality of the artist). Finally it will consider how the relationship has been taken up as a subject for fiction by New Zealand writer and critic, C.K.

  • Rananim Vol 15, No
    1 Rananim Vol 15, No. 2, 2008 Lawrence and Gertler By Jonathan Long Introduction Dorothy Brett, Ottoline Morrell, Gilbert and Mary Cannan, Aldous Huxley, Edward Marsh, Katherine Mansfield (and thereby John Middleton Murry), Gordon Campbell, S.S. Koteliansky, St. John Hutchinson, Monty Shearman and Dr. Andrew Morland of Mundesley Sanatorium in Norfolk. Those considering this list may think it relates to the life of Lawrence; in fact all were known to Mark Gertler as well and what follows demonstrates how they impacted on them in different ways. I am going to start with a short biography of Gertler (for which I am in part indebted to the excellent Camden Arts Centre catalogue), followed by some pictures illustrating the very different styles he adopted. I am then going to look at the similarities between Lawrence and Gertler as well as the differences. I will examine the occasions when their lives crossed. I will conclude with Lawrence’s use of Gertler and his pictures in Lawrence’s own work. Outline biography Mark Gertler was born in 1891 of poor Polish immigrant parents and grew up in a densely populated Jewish area of east London. At the age of 15 he started art classes at the Regent Street Polytechnic, paying his fees by working at a nearby stained glass works, a style later reflected in his art. Between 1908 and 1912 the Jewish Educational Aid Society helped finance his training at the Slade School of Fine Art. After initial 2 loneliness he became accepted through his skills both as artist and mimic. Christopher Nevinson became an intimate friend and introduced him to new student, Dora Carrington.

I then apply the grotesque liberation to the High Modern literary environment of Britain in order to reveal the grotesque dimensions of this period. To accomplish these goals of re-situating the grotesque, and applying the grotesque to High Modernism, I create a so-called “Grotesque System of Liberation.” This system consists of three stages (the Symbolic, Real, and Non-Symbolic Symbolic) that trace a specific text’s progress from a state of illusory stability and security, to a state of grotesque destabilization, to a final state of grotesque freedom and liberation. I analyze the grotesque system in High Modern texts by T.S.

In 1902 the family moved to Bedford, where Carrington attended a girls' high school which emphasized sports, music, and drawing over more mundane subjects. The teachers encouraged Carrington's drawing and her parents paid for her to attend extra drawing classes in the afternoons. In 1910 she entered the Slade School of Art in London. Following the tradition of the co-ed school, Carrington dropped her first name and was known simply as Carrington. She also started a new fashion at the school, along with her good friends Dorothy Brett and Barbara Hiles who attended the Slade at the same time, by cutting her hair into a kind of bowl cut.

  • Happy New Year to All Our Members
    TASNEE News Update * January 2021 Happy New Year to all our Members First of all, thank you to all who joined our December webinar lecture, ‘In the Kingdom of the Sweets’ with Nigel Bates. I hope those of you who ‘zoomed’ in enjoyed the lecture as much as I did – I felt that for the first time I have actually understood the story of ‘The Nutcracker’ and certainly the history of Tchaikovsky’s music and the making the ballet itself was completely new to me. It was wonderful to see the extracts from the ballet at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, reminding us how special it will be to see live performances again. It was a real pre-Christmas treat and one that prompted a lot of positive feedback. Once again, fortunately, Nigel Bates being an experienced ‘zoom lecturer’, I was able to learn a little bit more about the process from him. Christmas has as usual whizzed by, even though my Christmas, probably like a great many people’s, has been very different this year and here we are, already in January 2021. Fingers crossed that the year can only improve on 2020. There is of course positive news with the vaccine gradually becoming more available. It seems to be the one thing that will hopefully take us back to a more normal, sociable life and one in which our lectures can take place in a venue with a live speaker and audience. So, trying to stay on a more positive note, I even detect a slightly lengthening day, even if only for a few extra minutes and walking around the garden there are definite signs of life – spring bulbs poking through, even the odd snowdrop and primrose in flower.
