Thanks are also due to Elizabeth Hedrick, Michael Adams, Elizabeth Harris, Tom Cable, Samuel Baker, and Wayne Lesser for all the ways they’ve shaped my graduate career. Kathryn King, Patricia Hamilton, Jennie Batchelor, and Susan Carlile encouraged my studies of eighteenth-century women writers; Al Coppola graciously sent me a copy of his article on Eliza Haywood’s Works pre-publication. Thanks to Matthew Reilly for comments on an early version of the Manley material and to Jessica Kilgore for advice and good cheer. My final year of writing was supported by the Carolyn Lindley Cooley, Ph.D. Named PEO Scholar Award and by a Dissertation Fellowship from the American Association of University Women. I want to express my gratitude to both organizations. I also want to acknowledge the English Department’s years of generosity, which included the Maureen Decherd Dissertation Fellowship in the spring of 2010, as well as support for my creative writing and teaching. Thanks also to my mother, Betsy Beyer, and my father, Edward Beutner (who would have been thrilled to call me Dr. Beutner, too). Thanks to Travis Brown for reading, listening to, and believing in my work. And finally, to Lance Bertelsen, advisor, dissertation director extraordinaire, and excellent human being: my profound gratitude for the great conversation we’ve been having since that first survey course in 2005. I would not have become the scholar I am without it. iv Writing for Pleasure or Necessity: Conflict among Literary Women, 1700-1750 Katharine Elizabeth Beutner, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 Supervisor: Lance Bertelsen In this dissertation, I examine antagonistic relationships between women writers in the first half of the eighteenth century, focusing on the works of Delarivier Manley, Martha Fowke Sansom, Eliza Haywood, and Laetitia Pilkington. Professional rivalry among women writers represents an under-studied but vital element of the history of print culture in the early eighteenth century. I argue that the shared burden of negotiating the complicated literary marketplace did not, as critics have at times suggested, inspire women who wrote for print publication to feel for one another a sisterly benevolence. Rather, fine gradations in social class, questions of genre status and individual talent, and—perhaps most importantly—clashing literary ambitions spurred early eighteenth- century women writers into vicious rivalries recorded in print and driven by print culture. Women documented their literary battles in poems, in prefaces, and in autobiographical texts replete with self-justification and with attacks on former friends or disappointing patronesses. This dissertation recognizes rivalry as a crucial mode of interaction between v eighteenth-century literary women and analyzes the ways in which these professional women writers labored to defend themselves not just against patriarchal pressures but against one another. In doing so, it contributes to the construction of a more complete literary history of the first half of the eighteenth century by exploring how early eighteenth-century women writers imagined their own professional lives, how they imagined the professional lives of other women, and how they therefore believed themselves influenced (or claimed themselves influenced) by the support or detraction of other women. The first two chapters of this dissertation focus on Delarivier Manley's career and writings, while the second two address the entangled writing lives of Eliza Haywood and Martha Fowke Sansom. The concluding chapter briefly examines Laetitia Pilkington's Memoirs. I investigate the way these women employed the practice of life-writing as a means of self-construction, self-promotion, and public appeal. vi Table of Contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………..1 Chapter 1: The Myth of the Cheerful Satirist……………………………………………29 Chapter 2: Delarivier Manley's Masks…………………………………………………...85 Chapter 3: Eliza Haywood, Martha Fowke Sansom, and the Spaces of Fame…………………………………………………………………162 Chapter 4: Gloatitia and the Scorpion: Reassessing the Haywood/Fowke Rivalry……………………………………………………….241 Conclusion: “A Tale for the Ladies”: Scandals, Memoirs, and Female Literary Celebrity………………………………………………………328 Works Cited…………………………………………………………………………….357 vii Introduction Delarivier Manley draws the distinction herself. In her infamous political scandal fiction the New Atalantis (1709), within a little-noticed narrative framing an interpolated poem by Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea, Manley establishes a stark and surprisingly poignant opposition between women like the Countess who write for “pleasure” and women like herself who write out of “necessity” (New Atalantis [NA] 92).1 Finch's previously unpublished poem, entitled “The Progress of Life,” complains of life's disappointing downward course, lamenting, “How promising's the book of fate / Till thro'ly understood!” (NA 90)2 Though she clearly approves of the poem and its theme, Manley offers a critique of Finch's work in the voice of Astrea, one of the two deities touring Manley's allegorical England, whose name recalls Aphra Behn's poetic persona. Astrea suggests an alteration to one stanza of the poem, then concludes: I presume she's one of the happy few that write out of pleasure and not necessity. By that means it's her own fault, if she publish any thing but what's good, for it's next to impossible to write much and write well. (NA 93) Barred from considering herself one of the “real worthy” among the poets of her age by 1 Citations from Delarivier Manley, New Atalantis. Ed. Rosalind Ballaster. New York: Penguin, 1991. The complete title of the work, as published in 1709, is: Secret Memoirs and Manners of several Persons of Quality, of both Sexes. From the New Atalantis, an Island in the Mediterranean. Written Originally in Italian. 2 Manley explains that Finch's poem had “met with abundance of applause,” presumably when circulated in manuscript (92). This poem was eventually published in a slightly altered form in Finch's Miscellany Poems, on Several Occasions in 1713, printed by John Barber, Manley's business partner and lover (McGovern 108). Manley may have obtained copies of Finch's poems via Barber or Jonathan Swift, or may have been acquainted with Finch herself. 1 an awareness of her own artistic compromises, Manley defines herself against the elite tradition of female amateur writing of which Anne Finch was a part (60). This sense of division among women writers represents an understudied but vital element of the history of print culture in the early eighteenth century. Manley was not the only woman writing in the first decades of the eighteenth century to comprehend the distinction between women who wrote for pleasure and women who wrote out of necessity, nor the only one to publicly acknowledge her role as a writer for hire. But the shared burden of negotiating the complicated literary marketplace did not, as critics have at times suggested, inspire women who wrote for print publication to feel for one another a kind and sisterly beneficence.3 Fine gradations in social class, questions of genre status and individual talent, and—perhaps most importantly—clashing literary ambitions spurred early eighteenth-century women writers into vicious rivalries often recorded in print. Women documented their literary battles in poems, in prefaces, and in autobiographical texts replete with self-justification and with attacks on former friends or disappointing patronesses. The literary marketplace shaped their relationships, but their relationships also shaped the marketplace. To construct a more complete literary history of the first half of the eighteenth century, we must explore how early eighteenth-century women writers imagined their own professional lives, how they imagined the professional lives of other women, and how they believed themselves influenced (or claimed themselves 3 Margaret Ezell aptly explains the habit of treating earlier women writers as an extended “female literary family” with whom modern feminist critics can identify (Writing Women's Literary History 27). This desire for identification also seems to lead critics to interpret the records of relationships between literary women more positively than is justified by the available evidence. 2 influenced) by the support or detraction of other women.4 This study of conflict between literary women focuses on the works

  • Sex and Politics: Delarivier Manley's New Atalantis
    Sex and Politics: Delarivier Manley’s New Atalantis Sex and Politics: Delarivier Manley’s New Atalantis Soňa Nováková Charles University, Prague Intellectual women during the Restoration and the Augustan age frequently participated in politics indirectly—by writing political satires and allegories. One of the most famous and influential examples is the Tory propagandist Delarivier Manley (1663-1724). Her writings reflect a self-consciousness about the diverse possibilities of propaganda and public self-representation. This paper focuses on her major and best-known work, The New Atalantis (1709) and reads Manley as an important transitional figure in the history of English political activity through print. Her political writings reflect a new model of political authority—not as divinely instituted and protected by subjects, but rather as open to contest via public representations, a result of the emerging public sphere. In her lifetime, Manley had achieved widespread fame as a writer of political scandal fiction. The New Atalantis, for example, riveted the attention of some of her most acclaimed contemporaries—Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Richard Steele, Jonathan Swift, and Alexander Pope who alluded to it in The Rape of the Lock (Canto III, ll.165-70). Nevertheless, Manley was also widely condemned. Many contemporary and later political opponents of Manley focus mainly on her sexual improprieties (she married her guardian only to discover it was a bigamous marriage, and later lived as mistress with her printer) and her critics disputed

  • Identifying the Muses: Control Marks on the Denarii of Q
    Identifying the Muses: Control Marks on the Denarii of Q. Pomponius Musa Quintus Pomponius Musa, otherwise unknown, minted a series of coins in 66 BCE. Each of Musa’s reverses type featured one of the nine muses, each identifiable by her attributes, as a pun on his cognomen. In the field behind a bust of Apollo, each obverse type bears a control mark which appears to correspond to the attribute possessed by the muse on the reverse. The Clio type, for example, features the muse holding a scroll on the reverse, with a scroll as the control mark on the obverse. The strong connection between obverse control mark and reverse attribute, also evident in the Calliope, Euterpe, Polymnia and Urania types, suggests that the relationship can be logically extended to the remaining types. I argue that we must reconsider the organization of these coins based on an understanding of the relationship between the muses’ attributes on the reverse and the control marks on the obverse. My paper identifies a problem with seriation of Musa’s coins (Crawford 1974) wherein two separate obverse types—one bearing a tortoise, the other a flower otherwise associated with the Erato type—are assigned to Terpsichore based on the similarity of the reverse dies. Given the rarity of the Erato type (Seaby 1952) it seems that the flower control mark was intended to be associated solely with her. That both goddesses have a lyre as their attribute may have resulted in some conflation or confusion of the two, as is attested elsewhere with these muses in ancient art (Cohon 1991-1992 & 2009).

Gonzales May, 2017 ABSTRACT This dissertation explores amatory fiction as a genre significant to English literary history. I ground the study of amatory fiction in literary history, specifically exploring the ways that amatory fiction participates in the development of the novel. In amatory fiction, female characters express desire in a public setting, a feature that distinguishes amatory fiction from the novel, where characters more often express themselves in private, domestic spaces. By analyzing the various expressions of female desire in the works of Aphra Behn, Delarivier Manley, Eliza Haywood, and Daniel Defoe, I show that female characters are motivated to inhabit public space because they seek to know themselves as sexual, social, and political agents.

It explores a number of trajectories embarked upon by Boydell and his artists in their collective attempt to promote an English aesthetic. It broadly argues that the Shakespeare Gallery offered an antidote to a variety of perceived problems which had emerged at the Royal Academy over the previous twenty years, defining itself against Academic theory and practice. Identifying and examining the cluster of spatial, ideological and aesthetic concerns which characterised the Shakespeare Gallery, my research suggests that the Gallery promoted a vision for a national art form which corresponded to contemporary senses of English cultural and political identity, and takes issue with current art-historical perceptions about the 'failure' of Boydell's scheme. The introduction maps out some of the existing scholarship in this area and exposes the gaps which art historians have previously left in our understanding of the Shakespeare Gallery.

  • "Theater and Empire: a History of Assumptions in the English-Speaking Atlantic World, 1700-1860"
    "THEATER AND EMPIRE: A HISTORY OF ASSUMPTIONS IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING ATLANTIC WORLD, 1700-1860" BY ©2008 Douglas S. Harvey Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ____________________________________ Chairperson Committee Members* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* Date Defended: April 7, 2008 The Dissertation Committee for Douglas S. Harvey certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: "THEATER AND EMPIRE: A HISTORY OF ASSUMPTIONS IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING ATLANTIC WORLD, 1700-1860" Committee ____________________________________ Chairperson ___________________________________* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* Date Approved: April 7, 2008 ii Abstract It was no coincidence that commercial theater, a market society, the British middle class, and the “first” British Empire arose more or less simultaneously. In the seventeenth century, the new market economic paradigm became increasingly dominant, replacing the old feudal economy. Theater functioned to “explain” this arrangement to the general populace and gradually it became part of what I call a “culture of empire” – a culture built up around the search for resources and markets that characterized imperial expansion. It also rationalized the depredations the Empire brought to those whose resources and labor were coveted by expansionists. This process intensified with the independence of the thirteen North American colonies, and theater began representing Native Americans and African American populations in ways that rationalized the dominant society’s behavior toward them. By utilizing an interdisciplinary approach, this research attempts to advance a more nuanced and realistic narrative of empire in the early modern and early republic periods.

  • Robert Graves the White Goddess
    ROBERT GRAVES THE WHITE GODDESS IN DEDICATION All saints revile her, and all sober men Ruled by the God Apollo's golden mean— In scorn of which I sailed to find her In distant regions likeliest to hold her Whom I desired above all things to know, Sister of the mirage and echo. It was a virtue not to stay, To go my headstrong and heroic way Seeking her out at the volcano's head, Among pack ice, or where the track had faded Beyond the cavern of the seven sleepers: Whose broad high brow was white as any leper's, Whose eyes were blue, with rowan-berry lips, With hair curled honey-coloured to white hips. Green sap of Spring in the young wood a-stir Will celebrate the Mountain Mother, And every song-bird shout awhile for her; But I am gifted, even in November Rawest of seasons, with so huge a sense Of her nakedly worn magnificence I forget cruelty and past betrayal, Careless of where the next bright bolt may fall. FOREWORD am grateful to Philip and Sally Graves, Christopher Hawkes, John Knittel, Valentin Iremonger, Max Mallowan, E. M. Parr, Joshua IPodro, Lynette Roberts, Martin Seymour-Smith, John Heath-Stubbs and numerous correspondents, who have supplied me with source- material for this book: and to Kenneth Gay who has helped me to arrange it. Yet since the first edition appeared in 1946, no expert in ancient Irish or Welsh has offered me the least help in refining my argument, or pointed out any of the errors which are bound to have crept into the text, or even acknowledged my letters.
