He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford before settling in London. During his days at Dublin and Oxford, he developed a set of attitudes and postures for which he would eventually become famous. Chief among these were his flamboyant style of dress, his contempt for conventional values, and his belief in aestheticism—a movement that embraced the principle of art for the sake of beauty and beauty alone. After a stunning performance in college, Wilde settled in London in 1878, where he moved in circles that included the novelists Henry James and the young William Butler Yeats. Literary and artistic acclaim were slow in coming to Wilde. In 1884, when he married Constance Lloyd, Wilde’s writing career was still a work in progress.

But there were, of course, women who participated in the intellectual ferment of that period. Among other things, women were an important part of the traditional song culture that interested Scottish intellectuals as the antiquarian remains of a precious national culture. Indeed, as Burns and Scott knew, women were often crucial in transmitting and preserving this stream of Scotland‟s literary history. Thus while learned written and printed investigations were pouring forth from the four universities of Scotland, with reverberations all over the western world, Scottish scholars and philosophers were eagerly collecting and sharing whatever records they could find of a traditional culture that was essentially oral and popular and carried forward 1 largely by working people and occasionally by their own mothers and aunts.

Contents (5 items): 4 letters, 1 set of notes. Ross Env b.2.i A letter (1 leaf, manuscript) from H.V.S. [Hedley Vicars Storey, author and bookseller, manager of the Shelley Book Agency, 1870-1929] to Christopher Millard [Christopher Sclater Millard, author and bookseller, 1872- 1927]; dated 14th February 1912. Storey writes that he has been unwell and has gone to Brighton to recover. He explains that he has written to a friend in Oxford who will look at Pan and get the information Millard wants, noting that he was not well enough to go to the Bodleian before he left Oxford but will write again when he hears more. He also writes that he has something to send to Millard and that he recently read Millard’s letter about Oscar Wilde’s letters [the title of the publication not deciphered] and that he bought one of Wilde’s letters two years ago and, although he sold it, kept a copy which he asks if Millard would like to see. He concludes by sympathising with Millard over his financial situation and explaining that he too has yet to make his fortune, noting that his partnership was the ‘biggest trouble of my life’ [the name of Storey’s partner could not be deciphered]. Ross Env b.2.ii A letter (1 leaf, manuscript) from Hedley Storey to Christopher Millard; dated 3rd March 1912; written on headed stationery: “Shelley Book Agency for social reform literature…books, pamphlets, blue books, and periodicals…Gloucester Street, Oxford”.

BROWN & CO EDINBURGH : J. MENZIES & CO 1897 PREFACE. The origin of tliis volume is entirely fortuitous and acci- dental, and but for the solicitation of Mr. E. T. Smith, my successor as proprietor of the business of A. Brown & Co., it would not have appeared in print, or obtruded itself on the attention of the public. In the go-ahead style of the youth of the present day, he aspired to have an advertising medium of his own, in- tended for circulation amongst the customers of the old firm of A. Brown & Co., and knowing that during my fifty years' connection I had accumulated much information regarding the firm and its various partners since it began in 1785, he asked me to furnish some details of its origin, progress, and work, which might be padding to his projected serial, and form something like a thread through it to bind the past with the present.

  • The Origins of the Strathspey: a Rebuttal
    The Virtual Gael - Gàidheil is Gàidhealtachdan air an eadar-lìon - EARLY MODERN, INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC, MUSIC, SCOTLAND, SONG The Origins of the Strathspey: A Rebuttal January 4, 2014January 5, 2014 Michael Newton By the 16th century Lowland texts reflect the notion that the Highlands were a repository of older Scottish customs and traditions, and Macpherson’s Ossian (1760) only popularized and reinforced this idea. Music and song collectors of the 18th and 19th centuries, responding to the perceived crisis of Scottish identity and tradition in an assimilationist and anglocentric polity, looked to recover the remnants of Auld Scotia amongst the peasantry, not least that of the Highlands. It has become conventional to interpret Highland music and dance traditions as essentially conservative and preserving indigenous elements specific to the Gaelic community, often reflective of older Scottish practices.
