    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.

  • French Nationalism and Joan of Arc the Use of the Cult of Joan of Arc in France Between 1871-1926
    Beteckning: HRV:D09:2 Institutionen för humaniora och samhällsvetenskap French Nationalism and Joan of Arc The use of the Cult of Joan of Arc in France between 1871-1926 Jakob Ringbom Januari 2010 D-uppsats, 15 högskolepoäng Religionsvetenskap Religionsvetenskap med inriktning mot historiska perspektiv D Handledare: Sten O Karlsson Abstract The cult of Joan of Arc has always had an effect on the people of France, throughout history. It has aspired too many different views and re-surfaced at times in crisis for France. During some turbulent years after the mid 19th century the cult seems to have gained popularity. Emotional and historical writing became a fashion and Joan was presented in different ways depending on the writer and his motifs. As nationalistic front gained in popularity they understood to use her symbol in the name of France. This following study, named French Nationalism and Joan of Arc: the Use of the Cult of Joan of Arc in France between 1871-1926, has been an attempt to study her cult from an ultra nationalistic point of view. By approaching the subject by a History of Ideas theory I have tried to answer my questions in the matter, and tried to de-code the image of Joan of Arc in the name of nationalism. By first studying the nationalistic development in France as background and the basics and philosophy of the ideas I have then begun the research of the period mentioned. First and foremost I have studied the framework of nationalism and then I have used material coherent to my study, such as Action Française, writers of the 19th-20th century and other studies.

  • The Intersection Between Nationalism and Religion in The
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: The Intersection Between Nationalism and Religion: The Burghers of Calais of Auguste Rodin in the French Third Republic Jung-Sil Lee, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Directed By: Professor June Hargrove, Department of Art History and Archaeology As a republican, Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) conveyed political ideology in his public sculpture, but due to his interest in religion and spirituality, his interpretations differed from contemporary artists. He grafted national myths and symbols onto Catholicism and its rituals to facilitate the sacralization of the Republic. Yet, the tension between Catholicism and republicanism in his work persisted because of his religiosity and his adherence to secularism. Rodin’s conflict and compromise between the two fields were not only his personal dilemma, but also that of the Third Republic. This dissertation focuses on how Rodin internalized republican ideology in his public sculpture, and how he appropriated Catholic ritual to promote political messages. In spite of the republican government’s constant struggle to separate from Catholic domination, Catholicism was so deeply imbedded in French culture, Rodin recognized this complex paradigm which he co-opted to construct an ideological matrix for his public work. Aware of the powerful social role of religion, the First Republic tried to create a new religion based on deistic tradition, The Cult of Supreme Being, to unite all French people who were severely divided by factions, languages, and regionalism. This precedent tradition further proved the importance of religion’s social reach in constructing national sentiment. Based on research in Rodin museums in Paris and Meudon in 2004 and 2007, this study examines how Rodin merged Catholic practices and contemporary social ideologies into the fiber of nationalist identity that served to reconcile political oppositions in France and to heal wounded civic pride after the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War.

  • Reminiscences of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey by Joseph Cottle
    Reminiscences of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey by Joseph Cottle Reminiscences of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey by Joseph Cottle Produced by Jonathan Ingram, Thomas Berger, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. [Illustration: Portrait.] * * * * * REMINISCENCES OF SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE AND ROBERT SOUTHEY by JOSEPH COTTLE * * * * * INTRODUCTION. It is with a solemnized feeling that I enter on these Reminiscences. page 1 / 646 Except one, I have survived all the associates of my earlier days. The young, with a long life in perspective, (if any life can be called long, in so brief an existence) are unable to realize the impressions of a man, nearer eighty than seventy, when the shadows of evening are gathering around, and, in a retrospective glance, the whole field of past vision appears, in all its complexities, like the indistinct tumults of a dream. The acute reasoner--the fiery politician--the eager polemic--the emulous aspirant after fame; and many such have I known, where are they? and how mournful, if any one of them should be found, at last, to have directed his solicitudes, alone, to material objects;--should have neglected to cultivate his own little plot of earth, more valuable than mines! and have sown no seeds for eternity. It is not a light motive which could have prompted me, when this world of "Eye and Ear" is fast receding, while grander scenes are opening, and so near! to call up almost long-forgotten associations, and to dwell on the stirring, by-gone occurrences that tend, in some measure, to interfere with that calm which is most desirable, and best accords with the feelings of one who holds life by such slender ties.

  • Robert Southey and the Contexts of English Romanticism Ed Lynda Pratt
    From The Coleridge Bulletin The Journal of the Friends of Coleridge New Series 31 (NS) Summer 2008 © 2008 Contributor all rights reserved http://www.friendsofcoleridge.com/Coleridge-Bulletin.htm Felicity James reads Robert Southey and the Contexts of English Romanticism (Ashgate, 2006) edited by Lynda Pratt ____________________________________________________________________________________________ SMALL VOICE keeps intruding when Coleridgeans talk about Southey, A a voice which talks, firstly, of ‘perpendicular Virtue’, and then swiftly moves on to accusations of ‘Apostacy’, ‘Infamy’, ‘falsehood & duplicity’, before settling down into a guarded suspicion of his ‘fluency’ and ‘facility’: ‘I fear, that to posterity his wreath will look unseemly’ (CL I 152; I 165-9; I 320). Over the last decade or so, Southey scholars have been attempting to undo the damage caused to Southey’s ‘posterity’ by his having been viewed mainly in light of Coleridgean—and Wordsworthian—distrust. The history of Southey’s reception through the twentieth century has largely been one of neglect and decay. By the 1970s, for instance, it was up to the government of Brazil to restore his neglected grave, a tribute to his authorship of the History of Brazil (xix). He had certain devotees who laboured to keep the flame alight during the twentieth century—Jack Simmons, for instance, in his 1945 biography; Kenneth Curry, with his edition of the letters; Marilyn Butler, who reclaimed him for historicist critics in her inaugural lecture at Cambridge in 1987.1 Recently, however, this critical interest has picked up speed, with substantial biographies by Mark Storey (1997), W. A. Speck (2006) and political and historical studies by David M.

Along with prayer and her divine guidance she wins many battles in the Hundred Years War, including the siege in Orleans, to help reclaim the Homeland for France from England. Despite her valiant efforts and success, Charles VII hesitated to listen to Joan in establishing dominance over Paris, and listened to his own advisers who disliked Joan. She remained inactive, until she was granted a small mission in Paris where she was captured, judged for heresy, and burned at the steak. Twenty-five years later, Pope Callixtus III reexamined the trial, and stated Joan was innocent, where she was named a martyr, and later a saint. Joan’s death had a major impact in France, by increasing English activity. Later though, military officials that fought with Joan lead French forces to claim initiative in both military and diplomacy in 1435, by having success in battle more than failure.
