Haddon Hall's Poems
HADDON HALL’S POEMS NINETEENTH CENTURY SENTIMENTS DAVID TRUTT Copyright © David Trutt 2007 All rights reserved. Haddon Hall’s Dorothy Vernon - The Story Of The Legend was published in 2006. The following people were very helpful during the formation of this book: Sandra Trutt provided much needed help and support. Kendra Spear digitized various engravings. Alastair Scrivener pointed out the use of the Haddon Hall illustration for the poem In The Olden Time. His Buxton bookshop has been the source of many hard-to-find books on Derbyshire and its environs. Revised October 2010: Pages 4, 6, 124 to reflect that the author of “A Legend of Haddon Hall” was John James Robert Manners 7th Duke of Rutland, and not as indicated, John Henry Manners 5th Duke of Rutland, his father. Both were alive in 1850 when English Ballads and Other Poems was published.

W. S. Gilbert & a Classic in Humour
W. S. GILBERT A MID-VICTORIAN ARISTOPHANES BY EDITH HAMILTON & THE ENGLISH ARISTOPHANES BY WALTER SICHEL & A CLASSIC IN HUMOUR BY MAX BEERBOHM Edited 2011 by David Trutt Los Angeles, California, USA email: [email protected] Web Site: www.haddon-hall.com 2 INTRODUCTION Included herein are two lengthy essays which seek to relate the Victorian comic playwright W. S. Gilbert to the Greek comic poet Aristophanes. Aristophanes lived from about 450 BC to 385 BC, mostly under the shadow of the Peloponnesian War between Greece and Sparta, which eventually led to the downfall of Greece. He was the most celebrated writer of what is known as Old Comedy and the only one whose plays have survived in more than fragmentary form. Aristophanes is credited with writing at least forty plays, of which eleven have survived to the present. One critic states that “Savoy opera captures some of Aristophanes’ mingling of topsy- turvy fantasy and tripping rhythm. But in sheer poetic invention Aristophanes’ lacks a real successor.” This critic considers Aristophanes a master satirist, but the two authors, Edith Hamilton and Walter Sichel make a distinction between satire and irony. They claim that the plays of Aristophanes and Gilbert were displays of masterful irony; further they claim that in this genre Gilbert is on the same high level as Aristophanes. As Sichel writes, “Both Aristophanes and Gilbert were pure ironists. Direct satire maps out the country which it invades, but irony is always on the confines of ambiguous territory. As we survey its inhabitants they seem to be in perpetual somersaults — and yet they are always standing on their feet.” AND “That is Gilbert’s irony. -
Precious Nonsense
Precious Nonsense NEWSLETTER OF THE MIDWESTERN GILBERT AND SULLIVAN SOCIETY October 1992 -- Issue 35 -------------------------- If such symptoms you find In your body or head, They're not easy to quell-- You may make up your mind You are better in bed, For you're not at all well! Well, S/A Cole bummed it again. She noticed in the conclusion of the last Nosnense she said a lot of things would happen, barring any disasters. She should stop saying that, because, when she does, she invariably gets disasters. This summer has probably been the most busy, and the most annoying summer of her life, and she is only now starting to go through the boxes of things to put in the Nonsense. In August, every expensive thing she owned that started with a "C" broke (the computer lost its memory, the cat got sick, and the car needed a bypass operation) except her CD player (which had broken in June), and by the time they were all fixed, she broke. She started September off by getting the flu, and has only now seemed to have shaken it. But so much for excuses. We'll certainly try to do better in the future. In the meantime, she still has to go through the responses to the Big Quiz and the drawing from the returned address corrections, and there are no Iolanthe analyses this time around, but the Big Quiz answers are here, along with what has gone on in G&S lately, and what is expected to happen, plus Carol Cole's report of what took place at the Annual Outing. -
Social Discourse in the Savoy Theatre's
SOCIAL DISCOURSE IN THE SAVOY THEATRE’S PRODUCTIONS OF THE NAUTCH GIRL (1891) AND UTOPIA LIMITED (1893): EXOTICISM AND VICTORIAN SELF-REFLECTION William L. Hicks, B.M. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2003 APPROVED: John Michael Cooper, Major Professor Margaret Notley, Committee Member Mark McKnight, Committee Member James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Hicks, William L, Social Discourse in the Savoy Theatre’s Productions of The Nautch Girl (1891) and Utopia Limited (1893): Exoticism and Victorian Self-Reflection. Master of Music (Musicology), August 2003, 107 pp., 4 illustrations, 12 musical examples, references, 91 titles. As a consequence to Gilbert and Sullivan’s famed Carpet Quarrel, two operettas with decidedly “exotic” themes, The Nautch Girl; or, The Rajah of Chutneypore, and Utopia Limited; or, The Flowers of Progress were presented to London audiences. Neither has been accepted as part of the larger Savoy canon. This thesis considers the conspicuous business atmosphere of their originally performed contexts to understand why this situation arose. Critical social theory makes it possible to read the two documents as overt reflections on British imperialism. Examined more closely, however, the operettas reveal a great deal more about the highly introverted nature of exotic representation and the ambiguous dialogue between race and class hierarchies in late nineteenth-century British society. Copyright, 2003 by William L. Hicks ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Because of the obscurity of The Nautch Girl and Utopia Limited, I am greatly indebted to the booksellers Christopher Browne and Wilfred M. -
GILBERT and SULLIVAN: Part 1
GILBERT AND SULLIVAN: Part 1 GILBERT AND SULLIVAN Part 1: The Correspondence, Diaries, Literary Manuscripts and Prompt Copies of W. S. Gilbert (1836-1911) from the British Library, London Contents listing PUBLISHER'S NOTE CONTENTS OF REELS CHRONOLOGY 1836-1911 DETAILED LISTING GILBERT AND SULLIVAN: Part 1 Publisher's Note "The world will be a long while forgetting Gilbert and Sullivan. Every Spring their great works will be revived. … They made enormous contributions to the pleasure of the race. They left the world merrier than they found it. They were men whose lives were rich with honest striving and high achievement and useful service." H L Mencken Baltimore Evening Sun, 30 May 1911 If you want to understand Victorian culture and society, then the Gilbert and Sullivan operas are an obvious starting point. They simultaneously epitomised and lampooned the spirit of the age. Their productions were massively successful in their own day, filling theatres all over Britain. They were also a major Victorian cultural export. A new show in New York raised a frenzy at the box office and Harper's New Monthly Magazine (Feb 1886) stated that the "two men have the power of attracting thousands and thousands of people daily for months to be entertained”. H L Mencken's comments of 1911 have proved true. Gilbert & Sullivan societies thrive all over the world and new productions continue to spring up in the West End and on Broadway, in Buxton and Harrogate, in Cape Town and Sydney, in Tokyo and Hong Kong, in Ottawa and Philadelphia. Some of the topical references may now be lost, but the basis of the stories in universal myths and the attack of broad targets such as class, bureaucracy, the legal system, horror and the abuse of power are as relevant today as they ever were. -
