  • Streatham and Streatham Hill Conservation Area Statement
    Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill conservation area statement Location 1The Streatham High Road & Streatham Hill Conservation Area is in the southern part of the London Borough of Lambeth. The Conservation Area stretches from Telford Avenue to the Streatham United Reform Church encompassing buildings on Streatham Hill (not including those already within the Leigham Court Estate CA31) and those that line the length of Streatham High Road. The Conservation Area includes the impressive length of commercial and purpose built residential apartment blocks dating from the late Victorian, Edwardian and inter-war eras and includes the Free Tate Library, the Police Station, St. Leonard’s Church, the Odeon and ABC Cinemas and other public buildings, which form an important centre for shopping, recreation and commerce. Origins of development and settlement Streatham High Road is one of London’s major arterial roads. From Roman times, and perhaps earlier, it has been an important highway running between London and the 2Weald. Traces of pre Christian burials were discovered when St. Leonard’s was rebuilt in the 19th century and demonstrate that this was a burial place over 2000 years ago. Also discovered were Roman masonry, coins and a Roman ditch. It is probably that the Romans built a military station on the site of St. Leonard’s consisting of a small fort enclosing 2 or three acres surrounded by an earthwork and a ditch. The derivation of the name “Streatham” being from the Saxon “Strat” Street and “Ham” Settlement. Streatham probably evolved as scattered settlements of Saxon farms along the two Roman roads, which ran through the area.

  • Hester Thrale Piozzi and Her Mentors Collier and Johnson Tania S
    Learning Conversational Rhetoric in Eighteenth-Century Britain: Hester Thrale Piozzi and Her Mentors Collier and Johnson Tania S. Smith University of Calgary A young British woman in the eighteenth century who aspired to be an eloquent writer and conversationalist faced many challenges. It was rare for a woman to gain access to education in rhetoric because, since the classical era, rhetoric had been a largely masculine, upper-class discipline meant to prepare people to speak in official public roles. However, in the eighteenth century, some approaches to rhetoric accommodated the increasing number of women becoming educated and the increasingly important genre of sociable conversation. New opportunities within the culture made it possible for a woman to study rhetoric, practice and theorize it, and achieve widespread public acknowledgment for her eloquence and influence, although not without risks to her reputation. Studying the rhetorical development and practice of eighteenth- century British women brings to light how a category of people excluded from formal rhetorical education and practice could nevertheless participate due to shifts in cultural ideologies. Specifically, as I shall demonstrate below, these women experienced a greater opportunity to practice and learn a rhetoric of conversation in the public sphere. A brief rhetorical biography of Hester Thrale Piozzi (1741-1821), a famous eighteenth-century conversationalist and author, reveals how she and her two mentors, Dr. Arthur Collier and Samuel Johnson, approached the study and practice of conversation as a rhetorical art. It also helps us understand the importance of conversational rhetoric in forming eminent rhetors and rhetoricians. Only a few modern and eighteenth-century scholars of rhetoric would acknowledge that such a woman’s success in public or semi-public eloquence could be considered a rhetorical career.
