Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2005 ,,O'C- O-MNGNý, 4ý 1' /?srr, ' L\>1 Abstract has Whilst in recent years the study of nineteenth-century popular theatre and culture expandedinto the music hall, fairgroundsand 'minor' theatres.embracing melodrama and spectacle, the Victorian pantomime has attracted little attention. More especially. the widespread and dynamic productions of the English provincial theatres have been largely excluded in discussionsthat repeatedlyfocus on the London stage. My thesis is centred on the Theatres Royal of Nottingham and Birmingham, two towns sited in the English Midlands, but with markedly different population sizes, socio- economic structures and national status. My argument, however, is not predicated on comparison but rather on siting the pantomimes within the very specific local contexts of each town. The relationship between the pantomime and the town engages with a notion of audience, identifiable through textual and promotional materials. The argument in my thesis moves from an overview of production styles at the two theatres to a specific analysis of the the financing and promotion of the pantomime at Nottingham in the mid- 1860s. Using extant financial records, I have established how the pantomime was produced in times of local hardship, and how a production affected by low expenditure and failing revenue was promoted to its potential audiences. The emphasesof advertising and the promotional techniques engaged by the theatre managements, together with those of the local newspapersalso enable a reassessmentof the role of the pantomime author. The traditional understanding of authorship as related to ownership of the text is re- considered in relation to the role the pantomime author played in the promotion of the production, and his real and construedrelationship to the theatre and town for which he was writing. Moreover, the available empirical evidence has served to foreground the pantomime text as an expression of local concerns and political interests that were particular to each town and displayed an acute awareness of issues of regional identity and status. Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledgeand thank the following people for their help, guidanceand support: My supervisors Professor Josephine Guy and Dr Joanna Robinson The University of Nottingham for a fee-waiver scholarship, awarded for the duration of my research, as well as two library grants that enabled necessarytravel to London and Birmingham.

Other than the title, times of performance and seat prices, the central feature of the advertisement was a quote from 'The Theatre, London Magazine for February, 1886'. The quote read: 'Robinson Crusoe,' at the Birmingham Theatre Royal is, in my estimation, far and away the best of the provincial pantomimes in general excellence of scenery, costumes, and acting, to say nothing of its music, which surpassesthat in all other productions in point of melody and liveliness. Let me advise such of my readers as care to see a brisk, well-constructed, amusing, and thoroughly enjoyable pantomime, to lose no time in fmding their way to Euston, and travelling thence by the well-ordered, fast, and punctual trains of the London and North-Western Railway to Birmingham, there to see 'Robinson Crusoe' at the Theatre Royal. I will answer for it that the pantomime at the Birmingham Theatre Royal is the best to be seen in the country this year. ' In this thesis, I intend to extend the study of Victorian pantomime and draw critical attention, like the Euston passengers, out of the metropolis to the provincial towns of Birmingham and Nottingham. The focus of my study will be the Theatres Royal of each town, and the means by which the individual theatre managementsattracted local audiences to their Christmas pantomimes. Such research is necessary to foreground the regional identity of provincial theatreand to broadencritical understandingof nineteenth- century pantomime. The Times in the mid- I 860s was able to report on the increased number of pantomime productions in the provinces, and there was some critical awareness of the standards of productions at regional theatres, as emphasised

  • Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century A Catalogue D. W. Bebbington Professor of History, University of Stirling The catalogue that follows contains biographical data on the Unitarians who sat in the House of Commons during the nineteenth century. The main list, which includes ninety-seven MPs, is the body of evidence on which the paper on „Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century‟ is based. The paper discusses the difficulty of identifying who should be treated as a Unitarian, the criterion chosen being that the individual appears to have been a practising adherent of the denomination at the time of his service in parliament. A supplementary list of supposed Unitarian MPs, which follows the main list, includes those who have sometimes been identified as Unitarians but who by this criterion were not and some who may have been affiliated to the denomination but who were probably not. The borderline is less sharp than might be wished, and, when further research has been done, a few in each list may need to be transferred to the other. Each entry contains information in roughly the same order. After the name appear the dates of birth and death and the period as an MP. Then a paragraph contains general biographical details drawn from the sources indicated at the end of the entry. A further paragraph discusses religious affiliation and activities. Unattributed quotations with dates are from Dod’s Parliamentary Companion, as presented in Who’s Who of British Members of Parliament.

  • W.E. Gladstone Exhibition Boards
    W.E. Gladstone The Grand Old Man in Nottinghamshire William Ewart Gladstone (1809-98) was probably the most famous political figure of the nineteenth century. Initially a Conservative, he became a committed Liberal and served as Prime Minister of Britain and Ireland four times between 1868 and 1894. He was popularly known as ‘The People’s Illustration of the ceremony, from Illustrated London News, William’, and, in later life, as the ‘Grand Old Man’, vol. 71, 6 October 1877. or more simply as ‘G.O.M.’ W.E. Gladstone from Thomas Archer, William Ewart Gladstone and his contemporaries (1898), vol. 1 (University Special Collection DA563.4.A7). Born in Liverpool of Scottish ancestry, Gladstone died at his wife’s family home in Hawarden, Wales, but Nottinghamshire was the location of his earliest political success and retained a special interest for him throughout his life. This exhibition commemorates the bicentenary of Gladstone’s birth on 29 December 1809. It demonstrates the diversity of Gladstone’s links with the county and the city of Nottingham, and uses local material to illustrate a few of the themes that engaged Gladstone in his political career.

He started evening classes at the Birmingham Mechanics Institute in 1836 where he first came under the influence of the ideas of Robert Owen. He also became a member of the Chartist movement in Birmingham, although remained an supporter of moral force and refused to engage in rioting in Birmingham in 1839. In 1840, Holyoake applied to become a lecturer at the Birmingham Mechanics Institute but was rejected and became a Owenite social missionary, first in Worcester and later, in a more important position in Sheffield. During this time, he began contributing articles highly critical of Christianity to the periodical The Oracle of Reason, and, when the journal’s editor Charles Southwell was imprisoned for blasphemy in 1842, Holyoake became its editor.

Feltman) ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to examine the level at which the Sherwood Foresters are commemorated for their service during the Easter Rising of 1916. The Sherwood Foresters, known officially as the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment, were created in 1881 in England after combining the 45th (Nottinghamshire) and 95th (Derbyshire) Regiments of Foot and had previously served as part of the guard to the royal family. Four battalions were sent to Dublin to quell the rebellion, yet their efforts go largely unnoticed in the annals of the history of World War I.

We needed a much better sense of the context of George MacDonald’s work on Shakespeare—especially his lectures and performances—for our ongoing work on a MacDonald manuscript we were transcribing, describing, and editing.3 When we began to realize the immense scope of such a record, we decided that it might be of benefit to other MacDonald scholars and enthusiasts. MacDonald is, of course, most famous as a writer of fantasy, children’s stories, fairy tales, and novels.
