    Making Amusement the Vehicle of Instruction’: Key Developments in the Nursery Reading Market 1783-1900

    1 ‘Making amusement the vehicle of instruction’: Key Developments in the Nursery Reading Market 1783-1900 PhD Thesis submitted by Lesley Jane Delaney UCL Department of English Literature and Language 2012 SIGNED DECLARATION 2 I, Lesley Jane Delaney 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. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ABSTRACT 3 ABSTRACT During the course of the nineteenth century children’s early reading experience was radically transformed; late eighteenth-century children were expected to cut their teeth on morally improving texts, while Victorian children learned to read more playfully through colourful picturebooks. This thesis explores the reasons for this paradigm change through a study of the key developments in children’s publishing from 1783 to 1900. Successively examining an amateur author, a commercial publisher, an innovative editor, and a brilliant illustrator with a strong interest in progressive theories of education, the thesis is alive to the multiplicity of influences on children’s reading over the century. Chapter One outlines the scope of the study. Chapter Two focuses on Ellenor Fenn’s graded dialogues, Cobwebs to catch flies (1783), initially marketed as part of a reading scheme, which remained in print for more than 120 years. Fenn’s highly original method of teaching reading through real stories, with its emphasis on simple words, large type, and high-quality pictures, laid the foundations for modern nursery books. Chapter Three examines John Harris, who issued a ground- breaking series of colour-illustrated rhyming stories and educational books in the 1810s, marketed as ‘Harris’s Cabinet of Amusement and Instruction’.

    The Owl and the Pussy-Cat the Owl and the Pussy-Cat Went

    The Owl and the Pussy-Cat The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea In a beautiful pea-green boat, They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five pound-note. The Owl looked up to the stars above, And sang to a small guitar, 'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are, You are, You are! What a beautiful Pussy you are.' Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl, How charmingly sweet you sing. O let us be married, too long have we tarried, But what shall we do for a ring?' They sailed away for a year and a day, To the land where the Bong-tree grows, And there in the wood a Piggy-wig stood, With a ring in the end of his nose, His nose, His nose! With a ring in the end of his nose. 'Dear Pig, are you willing, to sell for one shilling Your ring?' Said the Piggy, 'I will.' So they took it away, and were married next day, By the Turkey who lives on the hill. They dined on mince, and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon; And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon, The moon, The moon, They danced by the light of the moon.

When the sun is bright on the upland slopes; When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass, And the river flows like a stream of glass; When the first bird sings and the first bud opens, And the faint perfume from its chalice steals— I know what the caged bird feels!

In 2004 I created a 'Fudge The Elf' website. This brought in many contacts, collectors, individuals trying to find copies of the books, Ken's Son, the illustrator and colourist John Ridgeway, et al.

  • Introduction to the Feminist Judgments: Rewritten Trusts and Estates Opinions Project

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-49511-0 — Feminist Judgments Edited by Deborah S. Gordon , Browne C. Lewis , Carla Spivack Excerpt More Information 1 Introduction to the Feminist Judgments: Rewritten Trusts and Estates Opinions Project deborah s. gordon, browne c. lewis, and carla spivack How would judicial opinions change if the judges were to use feminist methods and perspectives when deciding cases? That is the question that various groups of scholars, working around the globe and mostly inde- pendently of each other, have taken up in a series of books of “shadow opinions”–literally, rewritten judicial decisions – using precedents, authorities, theories, and approaches that were in existence at the time of the original decision to reach radically different outcomes and often using saliently different reasoning. This global sociolegal movement toward critical opinion writing originated when a group of lawyers and law professors who called themselves the Women’s Court of Canada published a series of six rewritten decisions in 2008 in the Canadian Journal of Women and the Law. Inspired by that project, scholars have produced similar projects in the United Kingdom,1 Australia,2 the United States,3 Ireland,4 and New Zealand/Aotearoa.5 There is an 1 See FEMINIST JUDGMENTS:FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE (Rosemary Hunter et al. eds., 2010). 2 See AUSTRALIAN FEMINIST JUDGMENTS:RIGHTING AND REWRITING LAW (Heather Douglas et al. eds., 2015). 3 See FEMINIST JUDGMENTS:REWRITTEN OPINIONS OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT (Kathryn M.

    Going/Or Eternity: a Child's Garden of Verses

    Going/or Eternity: A Child's Garden of Verses • Elizabeth Waterston • Resume: Dans cet article, Elizabeth Waterston tente d'expliquer la fortune litteraire du recueil de poemes de Robert Louis Stevenson, A Child's Garden of Verses, dont Ie succes reste encore tres vifde nos jours. D'apres elle, plusieurs auteurs ont tout simplement oublie I'influence marquante que ces poemes ont exerce sur leur premiere jeunesse. Summary: Elizabeth Waterston discusses the reasons for the continued popularity of Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses, and suggests that many writers have forgotten the strength of the poems' influence on their pre-school days. TA T hen Robert Louis Stevenson rhymed "children" with "bewildering" r V in the trial edition of his verses for children, his friend Sidney Colvin objected. "A Cockney rhyme," he jotted into the margin of the little book titled Penny Whistles.1 Stevenson responded with his own marginal jotting, "Good enough for me.... These are rhymes, jingles; I don't go for eternity." Whether or not he thought he was in the race for immortality when he published his little rhymes, A Child's Garden of Verses, first published in 1885, has proved to have great survival power. It is still available in all sorts of editions, vari- ously illustrated, and is still a preeminent choice of educators as well as of parents and care-givers. It is a book for children too young to express an opinion of its charms; but many of us re-open it as adults to discover just how deeply it has sunk into our pores.
