Mezzanine Exhibition Gallery~ Thomas Cooper Library . University of South Carolina October-November. 2008· FOREWORD This exhibition welcomed to the University the Thirty-Ninth Annual Meeting of the Victorians Institute, a two-day conference bringing to Columbia nearly a hundred Victorian scholars from the south-east and across the United States. So many of the great writers of the Victorian age are still well-known names that myriads of others get overlooked or neglected. The University of South Carolina's Department of Rare Books & Special Collections has first editions and even manuscript material from many of the best-remembered Victorian writers, but it also preserves the writings of others who are now almost forgotten. In some cases, such lesser-known items may be even rarer than long-sought-after first editions by the most famous names. The current exhibition juxtaposes work by major Victorians, such as Charles Dickens, Alfred Tennyson, Charlotte Bronte, and George Eliot, with the work of some of these other · writers who deserve to be better-known.

According to biographers, Lewes showed his selfless devotion to Eliot by encouraging her to begin and continue writing fiction; by foster- ing the mystery of her authorship; by managing her finances; by negotiating her publishing con- tracts; by managing her schedule; by hosting a salon to promote her books; and by staying close by her side for twenty-four years until death parted them.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

Trollope published an astonishing total of 47 novels, and his Autobiography is a uniquely candid account of the working life of a Victorian writer. Social Impact Measurement. Victorian era Article Media Additional Info. It is typically credited to Charles Darwin , but versions of it were developed by earlier thinkers as well, and the pseudoscience of eugenics was an ugly outgrowth of Victorian evolutionary theory. Sign in to write a comment. Gratitude was racialized in Victorian culture. Some were aimed at highly educated and well-off people, others at less-educated readers looking for appealing and exciting stories. In September , during the Confederate invasion of Maryland, Britain along with France contemplated stepping in and negotiating a peace settlement, which could only mean war with the United States. Having shaped perceptions during nineteenth- century debates on slavery, these representations re-circulated in commentaries on British imperialism in Africa, and African travel to and residence in Britain. Most Victorian Britons were Christian. Rosenman employs psychoanalytic perspectives that focus on the mother-daughter relationship as the source and center of female identity, and feminist literary criticism that explores the role of the woman writer in a male-dominated culture.
