The last known major Hopkins manuscript to have been in private hands, ‘Binsey Poplars’, was the most significant Hopkins item to have come to the market in over 40 years. The acquisition was made possible by strong financial support from a number of indi- viduals and funding bodies, including the Friends of the Bodleian, the Friends of the National Libraries, and the V&A Purchase Grant Fund. An Oxford alumnus, Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889) is regarded as one of the Victorian era’s greatest poets. Very few of his poems appeared during his lifetime and he owns his posthumous reputation to his friend and fellow poet, Robert Bridges, who edited a volume of his poems that first appeared 30 years after his death in 1918. His ‘difficult’ style characterized by new rhythmic effects influenced the work of Modernist and later writers. ‘Binsey Poplars’ was written in response to the felling of trees running alongside the River Thames in Binsey, on the west side Gerard Manley Hopkins’s poem ‘Binsey Poplars’ (MS.

DUKE HUMFREY’S NIGHT n 12 October 2013 Richard Ovenden, OInterim Bodley’s Librarian, and I shared the pleasure of hosting the Friends’ third Duke Humfrey’s Night celebration. The aims, as before, were to provide our guests with an exclusive viewing of some of the Library’s treasures and to raise funds towards the costs of acquisition and con- servation. Over 100 Friends and friends attended. The evening began with a recep- tion in the Divinity School and a video presentation of the work done, with the generous help of our members, to conserve the Bodleian’s original copy of Shakespeare’s First Folio. After the welcoming addresses the party visited Duke Humfrey’s Library to view the 50 items that had been put on display, all listed and described in a beautifully illus- trated catalogue. The exhibits ranged from the 6th to the 20th century and featured a wealth of materials from the Bodley’s special collections associated with religion, Duke Humfrey’s Night on 12 October 2013 art, politics, literature, travel, cartography, medicine, music, warfare, and social history. item and place them in the context of the It was Bodley’s hope, when he re-founded The display was equally diverse and rich in Library’s wider collections.

MAGICAL BOOKS FAMILY EVENT, A LETTER

Dear Friends of the Bodleian, I am writing to thank you for hosting the wonderful family event that accompanied the amazing exhibition of magical books. My children, Peter and Lucy (named partly in homage to Narnia), had a very enjoyable morning looking for answers to the quiz in the Exhibition Room, making their own Magical Book, themed crafts, and eating cupcakes. Peter is an avid fan of Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, and he spent lots of time studying the maps, Tolkien’s own burnt parchment (and the older fragment that inspired him), and the beautiful illustrations. He was fascinated to learn about the Inklings; how they knew and influenced each other and were interested in older ‘magical’ works in the same way that more modern writers such as Philip Pullman are, in turn, influenced by them. What a magical mixture of King Arthur and alchemy, medieval manuscripts and Middle Earth, hand-written manuscripts, and the plates which inspired Alan Garner’s The Owl Service! I was enchanted to see so many books from my own childhood, in the editions I remember, arranged on book shelves to the left and right. I was particularly delighted to discover that Diana Wynne Jones, one of my favourite writers, is considered to be a member of the Oxford School. This event inspired me to pull out some old favourites and I suggested that Lucy start The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. One week on, she has finished the book, thoroughly explored the wardrobe in her room and is demanding the next in the series. Thank you for breathing new life into old magic. Oxford and its libraries continue to be a wellspring of creativity and imagination for future generations. Best wishes, Emma Anderson Member of the Friends of the Bodleian Mask inspired by Alan Garner’s The Owl Service THE FRIENDS’ ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, 20 JUNE 2013 r Sally Mapstone, Pro-Vice-Chancellor revelations about covert sexual jealousy as graphical detail, and powerful echoes of D(Education), took the Chair and formal a motive for murder, the mental collapse Shakespearean murder scenes from Othello business was presented by Professor Richard of Jonas Chuzzlewitt after the murder of and Macbeth.

It was immediately made clear that murder held a peculiar fascination for Dickens, as a subject fit for the highest art. Eager graphic bril- liance in the renditions of murder scenes owed much to Dickens’s personal observa- tions at the spectacles of public executions, including one at the guillotine. Dickens’s famously impassioned readings caused audiences to faint away or go rigid with horror, reactions which delighted the nov- elist.
