    2017 Mcgill-ASECS Fellowship Report: Dan Waterfield I Visited the Burney Centre in August to September 2017 in Order to Better U

    2017 McGill-ASECS Fellowship Report: Dan Waterfield I visited the Burney Centre in August to September 2017 in order to better understand Frances Burney’s religious thought. I hoped that a survey of her family’s letters and diaries would go some way to reconstruct – and perhaps explain – the vicious editing she undertook late in her life – both on her own, and her father’s, correspondence. My visit was more than fruitful. I found an evidence trail of sustained familial awareness of the Burney Family’s Catholic heritage, whether in Susan and Charles’ awkward cries of no popery to safeguard themselves during the Gordon riots, their concurrent sympathy towards his Catholic tenants and students, or what I suspect were Frances’ early fears come to life in her friends’ wary treatment after her marriage to General d’Arblay. This not only complicates and contextualising existing critical treatments of the Burney family, but paves the way for a wealth of new work. Since Joyce Hemlow’s foundational biography and editions of Burney’s diaries from the 1950s, the importance of the biographical quality of Burney’s political thought has been well established. From the 1980s onward a wave of feminist criticism, sparked by Margaret Anne Doody’s desire to rescue Burney from languishing as a footnote to Jane Austen, highlighted Burney’s articulation of the intrinsic violence of womanhood.1 Julia Epstein encapsulates this when she argues that Burney’s novels prove ‘surface propriety was purchased at the price of internal rage,’ and that Burney ‘wrote in order to permit herself to live.’2 Barbara Zonitch echoed this in a historically-grounded survey that suggests ‘Burney’s preoccupation with 1 Margaret Anne Doody, Frances Burney: the life in the works, (New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgners University Press, 1988), 2.

    Literary Responses to Animal Experimentation in Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century Britain

    Medical History, 1990, 34: 27-5 1. LITERARY RESPONSES TO ANIMAL EXPERIMENTATION IN SEVENTEENTH- AND EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY BRITAIN by ANDREAS-HOLGER MAEHLE * The fact that British men of letters in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries commented on the subject of animal experimentation is well known. Apart from anti-vivisectionists and modern advocates of animal rights, who have been keen to cite the most critical of these responses,' scholars have considered them in three main areas of research. In the history of ideas some of those literary sources have been used to elucidate the origins of animal protection and the development of man's relationship to the animal world.2 In the history of literature itself they have sometimes been helpful in analysing the interaction between the so-called "New Science", i.e. the science following Francis Bacon's programme of observation and experiment, and contemporary literature.3 And recently, in the history of medicine, *Dr Andreas-Holger Maehle, Institut fur Geschichte der Medizin der Georg-August-Universitat G6ttingen, Humboldtallee 11, 3400 Gottingen, Federal Republic of Germany. I owe special thanks to Professor Ulrich Trohler, Gottingen, and to Dr N. A. Rupke, Oxford, for substantial advice on preparing this paper. i See 'Samuel Johnson', Zoophilist, 1884,3: 288; 0. A.
