    In Search of Robert Lovell: Poet and Pantisocrat I. Introduction ‘At the close of the year 1794, a clever young man, of the Society of Friends, of the name of Robert Lovell, who had married a Miss Fricker, informed me that a few friends of his from Oxford and Cambridge, with himself, were about to sail to America, and, on the banks of the Susquehannah, to form a Social Colony, in which there was to be a community of property, and where all that was selfish was to be proscribed.’1 Thus wrote Bristol publisher Joseph Cottle in his Reminiscences published in 1847. As any serious student of Romanticism knows, the most important of those ‘few friends’ mentioned by Cottle were Robert Southey and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who were then gathering support for a small-scale transatlantic emigration scheme founded on radical egalitarian or so-called ‘Pantisocratic’ principles. It is chiefly in connection with this utopian venture that the ‘clever young man’ described by Cottle has, until now, typically featured in Romantic criticism, very much in a supporting if not peripheral role. But how much do we know about Robert Lovell? What kind of person was he? Why did Southey, and subsequently Coleridge, embrace him enthusiastically on first acquaintance and later downgrade their estimate of his qualities? What was Lovell’s achievement as a poet, and what was his place in the early history of Romanticism in the South West? In this essay I attempt to answer these questions by re- examining established ‘facts’, gathering fresh evidence, and treating Lovell and his poetry as valid subjects in their own right rather than as a footnote to the budding careers of Coleridge and Southey.

  • IV.—Influence of Earth Movements on the Geological Strucuture Of
    J. J. Sarris Teall—Effect of Earth-Movements. 349 found in both. The opening into the larger cave was originally a mere crevice four to six inches wide, requiring many tons of cliff to be removed ere we could effect an entrance. Even then, for some 20 feet, it was but a natural " tunnel," too small, in most parts, either to creep or turn in. No large animals could possibly have entered there; so that the presence of their bones beyond, more or less imbedded in stalagmite, proved that some other entrance, not yet detected, must once have existed. From one of the ramifications, we extracted almost the entire skeleton of a Wolf. Its bones were intermingled with those of a Roebuck, on which it had probably been feeding. The Wolf's skull was a little over three-fourths the size of a full-grown male Arctic specimen. A single canine tooth, belonging to a much larger Wolf, was found at no great distance, and near to the place where the Lynx bones were imbedded. I see no reason to doubt that the Lynx may have roamed through- out our forests and mountain glens, along with the Wolf and the Bear, till a comparatively recent period, just as it still does in Norway ; albeit its origin in Great Britain probably dated from the time when these islands were united to the Continent.

  • Joseph Cottle and West-Country Romanticism Richard Cronin ______
    From The Coleridge Bulletin The Journal of the Friends of Coleridge New Series 28 (NS) Winter 2006 © 2006 Contributor all rights reserved http://www.friendsofcoleridge.com/Coleridge-Bulletin.htm Joseph Cottle and West-Country Romanticism Richard Cronin ____________________________________________________________________________________________ N OCTOBER, 1799, Coleridge travelled from Bristol with his publisher, I Joseph Cottle, to meet Wordsworth at Sockburn-on-Tees. The three men embarked on a tour of Wordsworth’s beloved Lake Country, but on October 30, at Greta Bridge, Cottle left the party and travelled south. ‘It was a tactful departure’, notes Mary Moorman, ‘Wordsworth and Coleridge wanted to be by themselves’.1 That leave-taking has a symbolic value: it marks the birth of the Lake School of Romantic poetry, and yet Joseph Cottle, the man so brusquely dismissed by Moorman, staked a claim to have originated that school himself, and not in the Lake District but some 250 miles to the South, in Bristol: Many might think it no small honour (without the slightest tincture of vanity) to have been the friend, in early life, of such men as Southey, Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Lamb: to have encouraged them in their first productions, and to have published, as it respects each of them, his first Volume of Poems. Typically, this is not quite accurate,2 but it was, as Cottle rightly insisted, ‘a distinction that might never occur again to a Provincial bookseller.’3 It seemed to Cottle an ‘extraordinary circumstance that Mr. Coleridge in his “Biographia Literaria” should have passed over in silence, all distinct reference to Bristol, the cradle of his literature, and for many years his favourite abode.’4 He was moved to publish his Early Recollections to correct Coleridge’s omission, to celebrate a period in the life of his city when ‘so many men of genius were there congregated, as to justify the designation, ‘The Augustan Age of Bristol,”5 and, with pardonable egotism, to remind the reading public of his own status as the provincial west-country Maecenas.

  • The Complex Tectonic Evolution of the Malvern Region: Crustal Accretion Followed by Multiple Extensional and Compressional Reactivation
    The complex tectonic evolution of the Malvern region: crustal accretion followed by multiple extensional and compressional reactivation Tim Pharaoh British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG ([email protected]) Abstract, The Malvern Hills include some of the oldest rocks in southern Britain, dated by U-Pb zircon analysis to c. 680Ma. They reflect calc-alkaline arc magmatic activity along a margin of the Rodinia palaeocontinent, hints of which are provided by inherited zircon grains as old as 1600Ma. Metamorphic recrystallisation under upper greenschist/amphibolite facies conditions occurred from c. 650–600Ma. Subsequently, rifting of the magmatic arc (c.f. the modern western Pacific) at c. 565Ma led to the formation of a small oceanic marginal basin, evidenced by basaltic pillow lavas and tuffs of the Warren House Formation, and Kempsey Formation equivalents beneath the Worcester Graben. By early Cambrian time this juvenile crust had stabilised sufficiently for thick quartz arenite-dominated sequences to accumulate, followed by mudstones in mid- to late-Cambrian time. In earliest Ordovician time, subsidence accelerated in a rift basin east of the Malverns, but was terminated by accretion of the Monian Composite Terrane to the Gondwana margin. Rifting led to a microcontinental flake (‘East Avalonia’) breaking away, eventually to impact with Laurentian terranes on the other margin of the Iapetus Ocean in early Silurian time. Minor inversion of the floor of the Worcester Graben might have occurred during the Acadian (early Devonian) deformation phase, but more significantly, during the Variscan (end Carboniferous) Orogeny, when a ‘Rocky Mountain Front’-type uplift was generated opposite a pinch-point within the orogen.
