Space Into Time English Canals and English Landscape Painting 1760-1835
Space into Time English Canals and English Landscape Painting 1760-1835 Susanna Cole Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Susanna Cole All rights reserved ABSTRACT Space into Time: English Canals and English Landscape Painting 1760-1835 Susanna Cole In a sense, it is always too late to talk about time. --- Jacques Derrida1 England’s canal network, critical to the nation’s predominance in the development of modern industry, goes largely unnoticed today except by some scholars of transportation. As I suggest in my introduction, one of the reasons may be that since the Second World War the canals have been cleaned up and turned into an attraction for boaters and tourists. With their brightly painted cabins occupied by families on vacation, the boats, now motorized, glide slowly and silently past the bucolic banks of the canals. These are, in appearance, as originally proposed by the development companies and drawn and engraved for the newspapers: beautiful country spaces to be admired and enjoyed by the public. Another reason may be the exertion of a willful nostalgia: because the comparatively slow-moving canals can appear pre-industrial we choose to think of them that way. These choices have made the English canal system part of a pre-modern England, imagined just as the canals were being built. That England would always stand as “a living emblem” of itself remained for the most part uncontested (putting Cromwell to one side) until the 1 Margins of Philosophy, trans. -

In Early Nineteenth-Century True Crime Murder Melodrama
ABSTRACT Title of Document: MATERIAL MURDERS: “AUTHENTICITY” IN EARLY NINETEENTH-CENTURY TRUE CRIME MURDER MELODRAMA Erin Rebecca Bone Steele, Ph.D., 2012 Directed By: Professor Franklin J. Hildy, School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies In the early nineteenth century, London’s illegitimate playhouses featured melodramas based on murder accounts. The value of comparing a true-crime drama to its historical antecedent lies in asking how the theatre makes its claim, and what social or political issues jump to the fore. Spectatorship at public hangings is a regular feature of this period, but crowds sought to “see more” and “know more” by attending all sorts of spectacles. The courtroom, scaffold, publishing house, fair, and theatre all proclaimed their goal was to provide a moral lesson. The intent was education as well as profit; the effect for the audience was one of titillation. This study is rooted in archival print material including playscripts, pamphlets, newspapers, and broadsides, and employs theoretical concepts developed by theatre historians to illuminate the ways competing public narratives functioned in the minds of audiences. Four cases are examined in detail: the Ashford/Thornton case and a “trial by battle” courtroom confrontation, the Weare/Thurtell case featuring a sloppy murder amongst gamblers, the Marten/Corder case of murder in a red barn, and the Bradford case following a wrongly-accused innkeeper. The dramas they spawned appeared between 1818 and 1833. Broadly speaking, each play communicates a warning to the working classes beyond simple moral proscriptions. Doomed characters might have no opportunity for redemption but there is a sense that social and political structures could and should be changed, reflecting the lived experience of a period when the legal system was being reformed, cities were being rebuilt, workers’ associations were growing, and the police system was being established anew.
