PREFACE. Of the numerous biographers of the poet Burns, few have dilated on his lineage. Some doubtless felt that his position might not be elevated by any pedigree, however famous. Others may have been content to hold that himself being in lowly circumstances, any inquiry as to his progenitors would be useless and unprofitable. By his biographer Dr Currie he is described as " in reality a peasant." What in respect of descent Burns really was these Memoirs will show. Bemotely sprung from a landed stock, his im- mediate ancestors were yeomen, at first opvdent, latterly the reverse. The family had produced another poet, the author of "Thrummy Cap;" but decided indications of intellectual activity did not appear in the house till subsequent to the marriage of the poet's paternal grandfather. The wife of this person was of the family of Keith of Craig, a branch of the house of Keith-Marischal.

  • Stephen Poyntz Denning and the Herne Hill Art Set
    The Dulwich Society from http://www.dulwichsociety.com/ Winter 2014 Artist in Residence – Stephen Poyntz Denning and the Herne Hill Art Set by Brian Green Published on Wednesday, 17 December 2014 16:20 It is quite a coincidence that two major movies are being released at the moment, the principle characters of which were members of the Herne Hill art set. However, like the elephant in the room, a central figure - Elhanan Bicknell, has been excised in Mike Leigh’s award winning film Mr Turner. As indeed has the subject of this article, the artist Stephen Poynzt Denning, a prominent member of the Herne Hill art set and friend of the Bicknell family. The early life of Stephen Poyntz Denning is something of a mystery. His father, Thomas Denning was born in Gloucestershire in 1767 and moved to Newington, Southwark where Stephen was born in 1795. There is no information regarding his mother. His middle name, Poyntz had customarily been used by the Denning family. There must have been some tragedy or misfortune early in Denning’s life. It was partially revealed, when, soon after he was elected curator or custodian of the newly opened Dulwich College Picture Gallery he received a group of Royal Academician visitors, led by Joseph Farington and including Sir Thomas Lawrence. The reason for the visit was to inspect the pictures and select some to be copied by students at the Academy. Denning, who may already have been acquainted with Lawrence, got into conversation with them and clearly impressed Farington who wrote in his diary, “Mr Denning is an artist and excels in miniature painting.

  • The Adventurous History of Sabrina Sidney
    CONSTRUCTING THE EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY WOMAN: THE ADVENTUROUS HISTORY OF SABRINA SIDNEY By KATHARINE ILES A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham April 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The story of Thomas Day’s attempt to educate a young girl according to the theories of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, with the aim of marrying her, has often been referred to as a footnote in Enlightenment history. However, the girl chosen by Day, Sabrina Sidney, has never been placed at the centre of any historical enquiry, nor has the experiment been explored in any depth. This study places Sabrina at its centre to investigate its impact on her and to examine the intellectual and societal debates that informed Thomas Day’s decision to educate a wife. This thesis argues that Sabrina Sidney was in a constant state of construction, which changed depending on a myriad of factors and that constructions of her were fluid and flexible.

    A NEW BURNS HERITAGE TARTAN Burns Heritage is a new tartan, launched by Burns National Heritage Park. The tartan has been designed with a classic, elegant pattern, suitable for both men and women. The pattern is inspired by the tartans of a number of the families whose lives were intertwined with the life and legacy of Scotland’s National Poet. The tartan is available from Burns National Heritage Park as Gentlemen’s stretch caps, county caps, neckties and skirt lengths. It will soon be available in a number of other styles. A new wine label has also been launched. Prominently featuring the Bard on its label, Burns Cottage wine comes both as a crisp Chardonnay and a fruity Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines are selected from quality New World producers by Tim Morrison Fine Wines of Maybole, Ayrshire. Sales of the new tartan and Burns Cottage wines will help preserve the rich Burns heritage of Alloway, contributing to the upkeep of Burns Cottage, the Burns Monument, Kirk Alloway and the auld Brig o’ Doon as well as helping the Park to refurbish Burns Cottage Museum. They can be ordered, along with other Burns related gifts and souvenirs, from the Park’s new online shop at www. burnsheritagepark.com or direct from Burns National Heritage Park Alloway, Ayr.

  • The Likeness of Lucinda Sarah Bicknell (Née Browne)
    The likeness of Lucinda Sarah Bicknell (née Browne) by Marcus Bicknell, great great grandson of Lucinda Bicknell née Browne I do not believe the portrait by Denning in the National Portrait Gallery (NPG) (Annex 1) called “ probably Lucinda Sarah Bicknell (née Browne) ” (image, right) is Lucinda. It looks neither like the other image we have of her nor does it match the descriptions given of her. The sitter does, however, look like two of Sabrina Bicknell (no relation) by Denning also in the NPG (see page 4). The bust by Baily There are several reasons why the likeness taken from the death mask of Lucinda (1850) attributed to E.H.Baily 1 (image below) is considered a correct likeness of Lucinda Bicknell; the bust has been passed down the family line and is owned by Mark Bicknell, another of her great great grandsons; and it conforms to the written descriptions (see below) and the body language expected. Written descriptions “Lucinda was tiny and beautiful, with lovely hands and an elegant neck and shoulders. Talented and absolutely charming, she spoke fluent French, played the piano and the harp” 2. The lady in the Denning portrait (the NPG engraving) is hardly beautiful, she does not have lovely hands and she does not have an elegant neck. Body language According to Edgar Browne, Lucinda’s nephew and a close friend of Lucinda’s son Clarence, was “a notable woman, and managed her household affairs with a skill truly early Victorian. She had that art of organizing which comes from natural capability, and which made 1 Valerie Lester, Phiz – The Man who Drew Dickens Chatto & Windus 2004 pp.

Such common conceptions of endings, this thesis argues, are largely incompatible with the realities of television’s production and reception, and as a result the study of endings in television needs to be re-thought to pay attention to the specificities of the medium.
