Debates About Elementary Education in English Periodicals, 1833-1880
Complex Twists of Becoming: Debates about Elementary Education in English Periodicals, 1833-1880. Edwin Patrick Powell A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Department of Literature, Film, and Theatre Studies University of Essex Submitted: October, 2019. 1 Acknowledgements I am delighted to express my gratitude to Professor Susan Oliver who has been an outstanding supervisor throughout the doctoral process. Supervision sessions were always enlightening, challenging and stimulating. I have undoubtedly benefitted from Susan’s passion for literature and her comprehensive knowledge of periodical culture. Susan was always generous with her time and assiduous in providing instructive critiques and sustained encouragement. Professor Pam Cox and Dr James Canton were part of the supervisory team whose perceptive comments and stimulating questions were important in directing my attention to alternative interpretations of literary-historical contexts. I am most grateful to Pam and James for their contribution to the excellent support given to me. I am most appreciative of the assistance given to me by the staff at the Albert Sloman Library, University of Essex and by Deanna McCarthy, the Senior Student Administrator in the Department of Literature, Film and Theatre Studies. I wish to thank the staff at the British Library where I spent many enjoyable and productive hours poring over periodicals. I am grateful to Curator Franki Kubicki at the Charles Dickens Museum who drew my attention to manuscripts in Dickens’s own hand which I had the privilege of studying. The staff at the Church of England Records Office were most helpful in organising access to important religious periodicals. -

Acton Burnell Castle in Shropshire, England
Travel Tuesday: Acton Burnell Castle in Shropshire, England Acton Burnell Castle-family picture, taken c1990. The above picture hung in the home of my grandparents (my grandfather was the the grandson of Nannie M. Burnell) for as long as I remember. They said it was Burnell Castle, and the home of our ancestors in England. It was always on my list of places to travel to, and learn more about. The advent of the internet has helped us to learn more about the castle, and trace our family lines back further than could have been previously imagined (at least, by me). I still have not been able to travel to the castle ruins, but maybe one of these days. Acton Burnell Castle, Shropshire, England. Wikipedia, by A. R. Yeo (MortimerCat). Creative Commons License 2.5. The ‘castle’ at Acton Burnell, a small town in Shropshire, England, began in 1284 as a manor house built by Robert Burnell, friend and Lord Chancellor to King Edward I. Burnell was also Bishop of Bath and Wells, and the house would have been large enough to house Edward I and his retinue, advisers, and soldiers. The red sandstone home was crenellated (the top rectangles with open areas for shooting arrows added) and fortified, both of which required a royal license, showing that the king favored and trusted Robert Burnell. The house had square towers at the corners, but with many windows, it was not really built for war, despite the crenellations. The house passed down to younger generations of the Burnell family, deteriorating with the centuries, and then passed out of the family through a marriage. -
1 1 from Letters to Loyalty: Aline La Despenser And
1 1 From Letters to Loyalty: Aline la Despenser and the Meaning(s) of a Noblewoman’s Correspondence in Thirteenth-Century England Kathleen Neal Sometime between the summer of 1273, and early August 1274, the Countess of Norfolk, Aline la Despenser, sent a letter to the Chancellor of England.1 This was, in many ways, a completely unremarkable letter concerning a rather banal administrative matter; hardly the place one might naturally look for evidence of intersections between emotion and governance. Yet, as I argue in this chapter, Aline’s letter was in fact a finely tuned articulation of affective persuasion. The beauty of its design lay in a delicate weaving between observing the expectations shaping letters of governance, and transgressing them in targeted and gendered ways which become clear when the letter is read against its particular context. Through simultaneous reproduction and disordering of the rules of letter-writing, it sought to evoke a range of positive responses in one person – the chancellor to whom it was addressed – in ways uniquely reflective of the relationship between him and its sender, the countess. Close reading of Aline’s letter thus reveals how all senders of letters to royal officers might manipulate affective rhetoric to achieve their political, legal, or fiscal aims: it is a case study of how emotion and governance regularly interacted in medieval England. Further, it illuminates the circumstances in which women could enter epistolary exchange of this kind, and the gendered rhetorical strategies they might use when the opportunity to do so arose. The letter is an especially rich source for interrogating how women accessed this particular 2 discourse of authority, and how they adopted and adapted expected, masculine forms of rhetorical presentation to political ends. -
