(35, p. 338) That is ?/hat he seemed to many people with his imperious manner. In reality he v/as only saperficially dictatorial,* His life was one of steady deTOtion to three main interests, that in earlier Sngland, especially in the seventeenth canttiry, that in literatare and drama, and that in people. He v/as loud of voice and decisive of manner, and his features v/hen he was in serioas moods appeared stern and aathori- tative. He had a deep sympathy with his fellow men, v/hich gave to the third interest a certain proprietary claim. It was that third, in con­ junction with the others, v/hich caased him to be influential in the affairs of his day, the wel­ come friend of his contemporaries. He v/as the friend with services ever ready, the friend con­ stantly sought and always dependable. Edward Bulwer Lytton, a contemporary, has written one of the most understanding of the re­ marks upon Forster as a man and one v/hich bears testimony of his capacity for friendship: "A most sterlin,^ man with an intellect at once * "Mr. Fitzgerald says he v/as a despot, v/as dic­ tatorial, offensively so to those v/ho could not or v/ould not look beneath the surface. *The proto­ type of Podsnap' and like Dr. Johnson, rough and uncompromising, llacready in an irritable nocd said, ^Lacking in breeding'. 'Forster seemed to me a very dictatorial parrson' - Sir Theodore llartin. Douglas Jerrold, picking up a pencil stump, remark­ ed that it v/as like Forster, * short, thick, and full of lead'. (33, p. 338) ?. massive and delicate. Pew indeed have his strong practical sense and socmd judgment; fewer still un­ ite with such qualities his exquisite appreciation of latent beauties in literary art. Hence, in ord­ inary life there is no safer adviser about literary work, especially poetry; no more refined critic. A large heart naturally accompanies so masculine an understanding. He has a rare capacity for affection which embraces many friendships without loss of dep­ th or warmth in one. Most of my literary contemp­ oraries are his intimate companions, and their jeal­ ousies of each other do not diminish their trust in him. More than any living critic he has served to establish reputations. Tennyson and Browning owe him much in their literary careers. Me, I think, he served in that way less than any of his other friends, but indeed I know of no critic to whom I have been much indebted for any position I hold in literature. In more private matters I am greatly indebted to his counsel. His reading is extensive. What faults he has lie on the surface. He is sometimes bluff to rudeness, but all such faults of manner (and they are his only ones) are but trifling inequriities in a nature solid and valuable as a block of gold. (33, p. 339) * 2..Birth and Family John Forster, biographer, historian, critic, journalist, and friend of important men of the Vic­ torian era, was born at Nev7castle-Upon Tyne on April 4, 1812. He was the eldest of four children, Eliza­ beth, Jane, and Christopher, of Robert Porster, cat­ tle dealer and Mary, daughter of the keeper of a dairy farm at Gallowgate. His father and his Uncle John inherited nothing from the family property, ow­ ing to the fact that their father, John Porster, land owner, of Gorenside in Northumberland, apparently left all his property to his two eldest sons, Lionel and Thomas. They therefore became cattle dealers in Newcastle and not butchers as was insisted by some who, in consequence, caused pain to John Porster and to his wife after his death. 3. The family were congenial and John Porster, who sarvived each member, felt deeply the aaccessive deaths. Christopher and Slizabeth were desired as gaesta by their brother's friends. Dickens, in hia letter of comfort on Christopher's death in 1845, writes, '"The day when he (Christopher) visited as in oar old hoase is as fresh to me as if it had been yesterday. I remember him as well as X remember yoa. (19, vol. E, p. 155) Charles lamb, writing Jorster on April E4, 1833, to come down with Knowles, asked him to bring his sister if he coald.

Martineau, who had died the previous year, had published numerous sketches of the recently dead for the Daily News between 1852 and 1863, many of which were collected in Biographical Sketches (1869).1 For Morley, these were “masterpieces in the style of the vignette. Their conciseness, their clearness in fact, their definiteness in judgment, and above all the rightly-graduated impression of the writer’s own personality in the background, make them perfect in their kind.”2 In reviewing Martineau’s work, Morley was himself writing a biographical sketch, a genre that was widespread in periodical literature by the middle of the nineteenth century. Accounts of recently dead editors and contributors ranged from obituaries and memoirs to reviews of books (especially biographies, memoirs, and autobiographies), but many were simply brief sketches of recent or earlier nineteenth century journalistic figures.

  • PAPER VI UNIT I Non-Fictional Prose—General
    PAPER VI UNIT I Non-fictional Prose—General Introduction, Joseph Addison’s The Spectator Papers: The Uses of the Spectator, The Spectator’s Account of Himself, Of the Spectator 1.1. Introduction: Eighteenth Century English Prose The eighteenth century was a great period for English prose, though not for English poetry. Matthew Arnold called it an "age of prose and reason," implying thereby that no good poetry was written in this century, and that, prose dominated the literary realm. Much of the poetry of the age is prosaic, if not altogether prose-rhymed prose. Verse was used by many poets of the age for purposes which could be realized, or realized better, through prose. Our view is that the eighteenth century was not altogether barren of real poetry. Even then, it is better known for the galaxy of brilliant prose writers that it threw up. In this century there was a remarkable proliferation of practical interests which could best be expressed in a new kind of prose-pliant and of a work a day kind capable of rising to every occasion. This prose was simple and modern, having nothing of the baroque or Ciceronian colour of the prose of the seventeenth-century writers like Milton and Sir Thomas Browne. Practicality and reason ruled supreme in prose and determined its style. It is really strange that in this period the language of prose was becoming simpler and more easily comprehensible, but, on the other hand, the language of poetry was being conventionalized into that artificial "poetic diction" which at the end of the century was so severely condemned by Wordsworth as "gaudy and inane phraseology." 1.2.

Signed declaration_________________________________________ Date_____________________ 3 Abstract This thesis examines the development of campaigning writing in newspapers and periodicals between 1840 and 1875 and its relationship to concepts of Old and New Journalism. Campaigning is often regarded as characteristic of the New Journalism of the fin de siècle, particularly in the form associated with W. T. Stead at the Pall Mall Gazette in the 1880s. New Journalism was persuasive, opinionated, and sensational. It displayed characteristics of the American mass-circulation press, including eye-catching headlines on newspaper front pages. The period covered by this thesis begins in 1840, with the Chartist Northern Star as the hub of a campaign on behalf of the leaders of the Newport rising of November 1839.

  • Classical Mythology in the Victorian Popular Theatre Edith Hall
    Pre-print of Hall, E. in International Journal of the Classical Tradition, (1998). Classical Mythology in the Victorian Popular Theatre Edith Hall Introduction: Classics and Class Several important books published over the last few decades have illuminated the diversity of ways in which educated nineteenth-century Britons used ancient Greece and Rome in their art, architecture, philosophy, political theory, poetry, and fiction. The picture has been augmented by Christopher Stray’s study of the history of classical education in Britain, in which he systematically demonstrates that however diverse the elite’s responses to the Greeks and Romans during this period, knowledge of the classical languages served to create and maintain class divisions and effectively to exclude women and working-class men from access to the professions and the upper levels of the civil service. This opens up the question of the extent to which people with little or no education in the classical languages knew about the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome. One of the most important aspects of the burlesques of Greek drama to which the argument turned towards the end of the previous chapter is their evidential value in terms of the access to classical culture available in the mid-nineteenth century to working- and lower- middle-class people, of both sexes, who had little or no formal training in Latin or Greek. For the burlesque theatre offered an exciting medium through which Londoners—and the large proportion of the audiences at London theatres who travelled in from the provinces—could appreciate classical material. Burlesque was a distinctive theatrical genre which provided entertaining semi-musical travesties of well-known texts and stories, from Greek tragedy and Ovid to Shakespeare and the Arabian Nights, between approximately the 1830s and the 1870s.
