It has been accepted for inclusion in Doctoral Dissertations by an authorized administrator of University of New Hampshire Scholars' Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

ABSTRACT JOHN THELWALL: RQMANTICK AND REVOLUTIONIST by VERNON OVEN GRUMBLING John Thelwall: Romantick and Revolutionist deals with the po­ litical activity and the major writings of the English democrat, John Thelwall (1764-1834), during the 1790's. Thelwall was politician, so­ cial critic, novelist, and poet; and he became a friend of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Chapter j presents the story of Thelwall1s political activity. When the movement for a democratic reform of Parliament revived in the early nineties, Thelwall gradually became involved. He linked the "genteel" reformers of the early eighties with the working people who increasingly filled the ranks of the reform movement in the nineties. In 1794 he was arrested and tried for high treason, but was acquitted. Throughout his political career Thelwall advocated parliamentary rep­ resentation based on what would now be called the principle of "one man, one vote." Hie radical criticism of English society that Thelwall presented in his London lectures is the topic of chapter ii. Because Thelwall had been a Tory prior to 1790, he emphasized respect for certain traditional styles of life, especially rural life, and he emphasized the need for stable, benevolent social relations. Because iii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

The Peripatetic is both sentimental and dl­ l ' I; dactic. The hero is a "man of feeling" whose walking tours in the com- I-; pany of "philosophizing" friends give the novel its structure, and ex- plain its title, an allusion to Aristotle's Peripatetic School. The hero believes that intimacy with the natural world leads to social j; benevolence and democratic mutual respect. Thus Thelwall combines the novel of sensibility with the "revolutionary novel" of the 1790's. I Chapter iv presents an analysis of the poetry Thelwall wrote from 1787 to 1801. His earlier work is extremely convention. In 1794 j Thelwall employed the sonnet and the ode forcefully in order to make j public the emotions he felt as he awaited trial. After he left poli­ tics, Thelwall wrote verses to celebrate the joys of family and nature. [ Thelwall's friendship with Wordsworth and Coleridge is the ; topic of the final chapter. Thelwall became acquainted with Coleridge in the spring of 1796 when both still lectured in support of parliamen­ tary reform. They carried on a voluminous correspondence for over a year, discussing literature, politics, and religion. Coleridge re­ vealed himself unreservedly to Thelwall, and accepted his criticism. In 1797 Thelwall visited Coleridge and Wordsworth at Alfoxden in Somer­ set. His visit drew government spies and eventually cost Wordsworth j his lease to Alfoxden Mansion. Nevertheless, Thelwall's views of nature | | and politics had a limited influence on Wordsworth, for passages in The | Peripatetic show parallels with passages in The Excursion. I l- t; Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. Throughout his career Thelwall absorbed the intellectual values of late-eighteenth-century England and carried them to extremes. He was unique not because he carried his advocacy of democracy to heroic ex­ tremes, but because in his writings he also asserted the need for organic relationships in society, relationships grounded upon the assumption of general intimacy with the beauty of the natural world.

    VAGB Newsletter 31 “Masina” ega Association of Great Britain December 2001 Webpage - www.vagb.com Letter from the Secretary Bird Hello fellow Vega sailors and Friends, I am happy to report that 35 of us have just enjoyed a very good evening at the Laying - Up Dinner last Saturday at Banstead Downs golf club. This represented 17 boats, more than ten percent of all the boats in VAGB, which was an excellent turnout considering that quite a number are abroad. I was very pleased to see you all again and thankyou for supporting the Club once again. This year we were favoured by the presence of some very long distance members. Arne Heinich from Germany found he could get to the dinner by Ryan Air and back again for less than 2 nights in a marina., and half the cost of driving.! Keith Spencer Patrick (Rough Diamond) and his friend Louisa flew down from Carlisle and David and Margaret Hemsley (Vegality) actually drove down from Leeds. Apart from our long distance members all our faithful regulars, who are the backbone of the Club were there also. The chef excelled himself, the wine flowed freely and Vega sailors from all parts of UK and abroad were able to enjoy the unique camaraderie that seems to appear when we all meet again. The Ken Vasey Trophy was presented to Michael Feeney for his entry titled "Through the Dutch Canals" The Secretarys Prize was awarded to Barry Shurlock for his two part article "A Brush with the Raz, and More Dolphins and a Whale" Brian Pilcher won the Special Prize for his very well organised event, Round the Island in your own time, which was held in the Solent.

    A History of Romantic Literature BLACKWELL HISTORIES OF LITERATURE General editor: Peter Brown, University of Kent, Canterbury The books in this series renew and redefine a familiar form by recognizing that to write literary history involves more than placing texts in chronological sequence. Thus the emphasis within each volume falls both on plotting the significant literary developments of a given period, and on the wider cultural contexts within which they occurred. ‘Cultural history’ is construed in broad terms and authors address such issues as politics, society, the arts, ideologies, varieties of literary production and consumption, and dominant genres and modes. The effect of each volume is to give the reader a sense of possessing a crucial sector of literary terrain, of understanding the forces that give a period its distinctive cast, and of seeing how writing of a given period impacts on, and is shaped by, its cultural circumstances.

    1 in Search of Robert Lovell: Poet and Pantisocrat I. Introduction 'At The

    In Search of Robert Lovell: Poet and Pantisocrat I. Introduction ‘At the close of the year 1794, a clever young man, of the Society of Friends, of the name of Robert Lovell, who had married a Miss Fricker, informed me that a few friends of his from Oxford and Cambridge, with himself, were about to sail to America, and, on the banks of the Susquehannah, to form a Social Colony, in which there was to be a community of property, and where all that was selfish was to be proscribed.’1 Thus wrote Bristol publisher Joseph Cottle in his Reminiscences published in 1847. As any serious student of Romanticism knows, the most important of those ‘few friends’ mentioned by Cottle were Robert Southey and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who were then gathering support for a small-scale transatlantic emigration scheme founded on radical egalitarian or so-called ‘Pantisocratic’ principles. It is chiefly in connection with this utopian venture that the ‘clever young man’ described by Cottle has, until now, typically featured in Romantic criticism, very much in a supporting if not peripheral role. But how much do we know about Robert Lovell? What kind of person was he? Why did Southey, and subsequently Coleridge, embrace him enthusiastically on first acquaintance and later downgrade their estimate of his qualities? What was Lovell’s achievement as a poet, and what was his place in the early history of Romanticism in the South West? In this essay I attempt to answer these questions by re- examining established ‘facts’, gathering fresh evidence, and treating Lovell and his poetry as valid subjects in their own right rather than as a footnote to the budding careers of Coleridge and Southey.

    379 CHRONICLES OF THELWALL, CO. CHESTER, WITH NOTICES OF THE SUCCESSIVE LORDS OF THAT MANOR, THEIR FAMILY DESCENT, &c. &c. THELWALL is a township situate within the parochial chapelry of Daresbury, and parish of Runcorn, in the East Division of the hundred of Bucklew, and deanery of Frodsham, co. Chester. It is unquestionably a place of very great antiquity, and so meagre an account has been hitherto published a as to its early history and possessors, that an attempt more fully to elucidate the subject, and to concentrate, and thereby preserve, the scat• tered fragments which yet remain as to it, from the general wreck of time, cannot fail, it is anticipated, to prove both accept• able and interesting. The earliest mention that is to be met with of Thelwall appears in the Saxon Chronicle, from which we find that, in the year 923, King Edward the Elder, son of King Alfred, made it a garrison for his soldiers, and surrounded it with fortifications. By most writers it is stated to have been founded by this monarch, but the opinion prevails with some others that it was in existence long before, and was only restored by him. Towards the latter part of the year 923, King Edward is recorded to have visited this place himself, and for some time made it his residence, whilst other portion of his troops were engaged in repairing and manning Manchester. These warlike preparations, it may be observed, were rendered necessary in consequence of Ethelwald, the son of King Ethelbert, disputing the title of Edward.

    Thelwall Versus Wordsworth: Alternative Lifestyles in Repressive Times1

    Thelwall versus Wordsworth: Alternative Lifestyles in Repressive Times1 By: Penelope J. Corfield, This essay has been expanded from a paper given at the launch of the John Thelwall Society at St Hugh’s College, Oxford in January 2012; and it will be posted on the JT Society website www.johnthelwall.org, with details of the Society and how to join. If quoting this essay, please kindly acknowledge copyright: © Penelope J. Corfield 2012 Why was the young William Wordsworth jealous of John Thelwall?2 (Was he? The evidence for this proposition is discussed below.) It was not a question of petty squabbles. Instead, the issue that animated these men was how and where radicals should live within a corrupt society. Such questions were particularly heightened in times of conservative repression, as in Britain in the later 1790s. How best should people live, who were profoundly out of sympathy with the government and wider society of their day? So Wordsworth pondered: …escaped From the vast city, where I long had pined A discontented sojourner: now free, Free as a bird to settle where I will. What dwelling shall receive me? in what vale Shall be my harbour? underneath what grove Shall I take up my home? and what clear stream Shall with its murmur lull me into rest? The earth is all before me. …3 1 In the later 1790s, the notorious radical John Thelwall and the as-yet- unknown William Wordsworth4 faced that decision. Their responses highlight a long-running tension about the ideal physical location within the cultural/political left: whether town or countryside? And Wordsworth’s move to the Lakes – cemented by his later fame - contributed to an alternative view of left-wing ‘green’ country living that still remains potent.
