Thus began a journey F of great fascination and reward. Anne Olivier Bell, whose wise and witty editing of Woolf’s 1915 to 1941 diaries sets the standard for such work, has been generosity itself through my labors. In 2001, she allowed me to interview her re- garding her work in the very room it was done. She then kindly drove me to see Charleston. Quentin Bell, before his death, also promptly and fully answered all my letter queries regarding his aunt Virginia and her diaries. My thanks go, too, to Andrew McNeillie, who took time during the 2001 Woolf confer- ence in Wales to tell me about his own “heady” days as assistant editor of the 1920 to 1941 diaries in that “visually stunning Sussex country.” In 2003 scholar Sybil Oldfield continued their largesse. She drove me through Lewes, Sussex; took me to the bridge overlooking the River Ouse near the Woolf’s Rodmell home on what was a cold, overcast April day; and even boosted me up onto the Monk’s House wall so I could see into the garden. Stateside, many others have also aided this work. My great thanks go to Gay Talese, the pioneer in artful nonfiction, who has been my strongest supporter since 1983—and particularly supportive of this book. Nancy Price, the novelist and poet, endured reading the (much) longer version of this book; she even ironed pages that had become bent in the mail. Poet Kathleen Kelly also leant her wise counsel throughout the process—particularly in finding the work’s shape. Woolf biographer Panthea Reid read two drafts of this volume, which has profited greatly from her thorough and helpful advice. In the 1990s, I also had the honor of giving programs in Iowa and Colorado with pianist Gary Arvin and mezzo-soprano Julie Simpson. I introduced Woolf and her diary, and they then performed with great artistry Dominick Argento’s Pulitzer Prize- winning song cycle “From the Diary of Virginia Woolf.” I also am indebted to the Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Collection of English and American Literature in the New York Public Library and to its curators for many hours of congenial work with Woolf’s manuscripts. My gratitude goes as well to Dorothy Sheridan, Head of Special Collections at the University of Sus- sex Library, for allowing me to work with the Monk’s House papers. I also wish to express gratitude to the International Virginia Woolf Society, whose mem- bers are so welcoming of papers and essays, and especially to Woolf scholar Mark Hussey, who shared his thoughts regarding several chapters of this book. Shannon McCarthy, assistant editor at the University Press of Florida, for the past months has been a model of efficiency—and of grace. My work with Woolf’s diaries and the (many) diaries she read has received support from several arms of the University of Northern Iowa. I thank the Graduate College and the College of Humanities and Fine Arts for grants and leaves in support of the work. My special thanks to Rosemary Meany, Linda Berneking, and others in the Rod Library, who helped me locate and retrieve many obscure diaries. A final persistent thank you to John Lounsberry, who anchors all my days. x Acknowledgments Abbreviations AML A Moment’s Liberty: The Shorter Diary. Abr. and ed. Anne Olivier Bell.

So declared Quentin Bell, Virginia Woolf’s nephew, of her heart-stopping, Aboundary-stretching diary that serves as a doorway to her fiction and non- fiction. Woolf’s diary is her longest, her longest sustained, and her last work to reach the public. Diary scholar Harriet Blodgett calls it “a high point in English diary-keeping” and “a remarkable social document.”1 Woolf begins her first extant diary at age fourteen in 1897, and her final entry comes at the age of fifty-nine, four days before her suicide in March 1941. Thirty- eight handwritten diary volumes are safeguarded today in the United States and England. Together they offer some 2,312 entries and 770,000 words—more words than any one of her novels. Like a hidden gold mine, this diary reached readers in tantalizing segments across a half-century: from 1953 to 2003. As each vein of the mother lode ap- peared, it has been carefully scoured for Woolf’s references to her works or to the talented friends and family members who made up her storied Bloomsbury Group; scoured, too, for the wider circle of notables, including George Bernard Shaw, Vita Sackville-West, T. S. Eliot, and Ethel Smyth, who came to want to know her. The diaries have been sifted, too, for Woolf’s views on a range of subjects—from art to war. What remains now is to understand the diary as a diary: Woolf’s development as a diarist and her place among, and legacy to, the worldwide community of diarists she so greatly valued and admired. However, challenges abound. Diaries are still “terra incognita,” French di- ary theorist Philippe Lejeune reminded us in 2004 (76). I will argue in this book that this fact made the diary particularly attractive to Woolf. Furthermore, as Lejeune also points out, “There is no such thing as a typical diarist” (154). Woolf’s diary itself shifts form radically—particularly across her first two -de cades as a diarist explored in this book.

  • Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy
    Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy How do democracies form and what makes them die? Daniel Ziblatt revisits this timely and classic question in a wide-ranging historical narrative that traces the evolution of modern political democracy in Europe from its modest beginnings in 1830s Britain to Adolf Hitler’s 1933 seizure of power in Weimar Germany. Based on rich historical and quantitative evidence, the book offers a major reinterpretation of European history and the question of how stable political democracy is achieved. The barriers to inclusive political rule, Ziblatt finds, were not inevitably overcome by unstoppable tides of socioeconomic change, a simple triumph of a growing middle class, or even by working class collective action. Instead, political democracy’s fate surprisingly hinged on how conservative political parties – the historical defenders of power, wealth, and privilege – recast themselves and coped with the rise of their own radical right. With striking modern parallels, the book has vital implications for today’s new and old democracies under siege. Daniel Ziblatt is Professor of Government at Harvard University where he is also a resident fellow of the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies. He is also currently Fernand Braudel Senior Fellow at the European University Institute. His first book, Structuring the State: The Formation of Italy and Germany and the Puzzle of Federalism (2006) received several prizes from the American Political Science Association. He has written extensively on the emergence of democracy in European political history, publishing in journals such as American Political Science Review, Journal of Economic History, and World Politics.

  • Rulers of Opinion Women at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, 1799
    Rulers of Opinion Women at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, 1799-1812 Harriet Olivia Lloyd UCL Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of Science 2018 1 I, Harriet Olivia Lloyd, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis examines the role of women at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in its first decade and contributes to the field by writing more women into the history of science. Using the method of prosopography, 844 women have been identified as subscribers to the Royal Institution from its founding on 7 March 1799, until 10 April 1812, the date of the last lecture given by the chemist Humphry Davy (1778- 1829). Evidence suggests that around half of Davy’s audience at the Royal Institution were women from the upper and middle classes. This female audience was gathered by the Royal Institution’s distinguished patronesses, who included Mary Mee, Viscountess Palmerston (1752-1805) and the chemist Elizabeth Anne, Lady Hippisley (1762/3-1843). A further original contribution of this thesis is to explain why women subscribed to the Royal Institution from the audience perspective. First, Linda Colley’s concept of the “service élite” is used to explain why an institution that aimed to apply science to the “common purposes of life” appealed to fashionable women like the distinguished patronesses. These women were “rulers of opinion,” women who could influence their peers and transform the image of a degenerate ruling class to that of an élite that served the nation.

The reader must not expect to find in this account of Blake's myth, or this explanation of his symbolic writings, a substitute for Blake's own works. A paraphrase is given of most of the more difficult poems, but no single thread of interpretation can fully guide the explorer through the intricate paths of a symbolism where most of the figures of speech have a two-fold meaning, and some are employed systematically in a three­ fold, or even a four-fold sense. " Allegory addressed to the intellectual powers while it is altogether hidden from the corporeal understanding is my definition," writes Blake, "of the most sublime poetry." Letter to Butts from Felpham, July 6th, 1803. Such allegory fills the "Prophetic Books," yet it is not so hiddon from the corporeal understanding as its author supposed. An explanation, continuous throughout, if not complete for side issues, may be obtained from the enigma itself by the aid of ordinary industry.

A major reassessment is also provided of the Marquis of Salisbury, the leader of the Tories during the years under review. It is argued that Salisbury played a fundamental role in formulating the tactics and strategy of the modern Conservative party, the predominance of which is unchallenged to this day. Existing works by Ostrogorski and Robb provide only a general overview of the development of the Primrose League, omitting a detailed examination of the Minutes, the papers of Conservative party leaders, newspapers, and many primary and secondary sources. Here the first systematic study of the origins and development of the Primrose League between 1883 and 1901 is given. The first detailed examination of the demographics of the membership is also provided, based on the 1888 and 1899 Rolls of Habitations and selective membership rosters maintained by local associations.
