  • Women's Clothing in the 18Th Century
    National Park Service Park News U.S. Department of the Interior Pickled Fish and Salted Provisions A Peek Inside Mrs. Derby’s Clothes Press: Women’s Clothing in the 18th Century In the parlor of the Derby House is a por- trait of Elizabeth Crowninshield Derby, wearing her finest apparel. But what exactly is she wearing? And what else would she wear? This edition of Pickled Fish focuses on women’s clothing in the years between 1760 and 1780, when the Derby Family were living in the “little brick house” on Derby Street. Like today, women in the 18th century dressed up or down depending on their social status or the work they were doing. Like today, women dressed up or down depending on the situation, and also like today, the shape of most garments was common to upper and lower classes, but differentiated by expense of fabric, quality of workmanship, and how well the garment fit. Number of garments was also determined by a woman’s class and income level; and as we shall see, recent scholarship has caused us to revise the number of garments owned by women of the upper classes in Essex County. Unfortunately, the portrait and two items of clothing are all that remain of Elizabeth’s wardrobe. Few family receipts have survived, and even the de- tailed inventory of Elias Hasket Derby’s estate in 1799 does not include any cloth- ing, male or female. However, because Pastel portrait of Elizabeth Crowninshield Derby, c. 1780, by Benjamin Blythe.

This time period is critical to understanding the nature of British-French relations for nearly the next century. Existing literature provides some information on political aspects of relations between Britain and France during this period but ignores the important social and familial aspects of ambassadors lives and policies. By fleshing out the influences of individual ambassadors during this period from their social and political relations with their French counterparts we are able to shed light on any possible changes to British policy vis-a-vis France. These social and personal relations could have changed the course of British and French relations over the next century by occurring in this very formative time for both countries.

  • England and the Process of Commercialization ?
    Introduction ENGLAND AND THE PROCESS OF COMMERCIALIZATION ? As the core country of the British Isles, England is regarded as a pioneer of mod- ern industrial capitalism and as a model of an open society with a viable public sphere. Th erefore, an examination of English history can be expected to yield fundamental insights into the preconditions for Western ways of living and doing business. It furthermore seems legitimate to reformulate a central question of historical social science, originally posed by Max Weber: ‘to what combination of circumstances should the fact be attributed that precisely on English soil cultural phenomena appeared which (as we like to think) lie in a line of development hav- ing universal signifi cance and value?’1 With reference to this question, English – and more broadly British – history has already been the subject of numerous comprehensive research initiatives. In the 1960s and 1970s, for example, it served U.S.-based modernization theorists as a preferred model and benchmark of Western development and inspired a large number of empirically rich comparative studies that juxtaposed it with the history of other European countries, the United States and Latin America.2 Th e current debate about the ‘Great Divergence’ between Europe and Asia has rekindled this discussion. To determine when and for what reasons Asia diverged from the path of Western development, the protagonists viewed England and subregions of China as proxies for Europe and Asia, respectively. In this discus- sion, the stagnation of the Qing dynasty with its highly developed commercial economy is explained in terms of the absence of the structural preconditions that are presumed to have been present and eff ectively utilized in medieval and Early Modern England.3 Notes from this chapter begin on page 15.

Three hundred thirty-four grammar schools (more than 50% of those in the 18th century) in 15 counties comprised the sample. County records, educational essays, and other sources were consulted for a general survey of, among other things, changes in curriculum and charity provisions. The study concludes with a new perspective on 18th century grammar schools: 1) they frequently engaged in curriculum changes, adding English grammar, math, modern languages, and technical subjects to the Greek and Latin curriculum; 2) grammar school charity resources failed to expand sufficiently in the 18th century; and, 3)the relatively fluid state of the grammar schools was itself changed and hardened, circa 1800. This delayed further reform of the schools for at least a generation and tended to mask the positive efforts of the 18th century. Appended are primary source locations and a selected list of titles of secondary sources; full bibliographic listings are included in the author's 1967 doctoral thesis, University of Michigan, based on this study.(Author/DJB) / 07409-1-F THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN CC) COLLEGE OF LITERATURE, SCIENCE, AND THE ARTS Nr\ Department of History CD Lr1 U.S.

    the palace of veRsailles presents the 18th century back in fashion guide to the exhibition and the grand trianon 8 july – 9 OCTOBer organised with the Grand trianon floor plan the 18th century back in fashion couturiers and fashion designers at the grand trianon The Grand Trianon and the Musée Galliera, the fashion museum of the City of Paris, present in a poetic confrontation costumes from the 18th century and masterpieces of haute couture and fashion design from the 20th and 21st centuries. The 18th century with its floating dresses, its voluminous skirts, flounces and furbelows, its silhouettes of minor marquis in three-piece suits and its immense hairstyles have never ceased to inspire the world of haute couture. The Enlightenment, the age of French Europe according to the famous saying, continues to fascinate. The political and cultural prestige of France was at its highest, when wit, lightness and elegance metamorphosed into a veritable art of fine living. Since 1800, the fashion world has continued to refer back to the 18th century for both women’s and men’s clothing as well as for its textiles and accessories. Like mirrors reflecting each other, the garments exhibited, from haute couture to ready-to-wear, propose Self-guided architecture tour a modern reading of that extravagant century. Each designer adapts the period to his/her sensibility. Some a self-guided architectural tour takes you through the grand quote the 18th century shapes almost literally, while trianon’s most notable places at the same time as the "18th century others deconstruct them, expand their dimensions and back in fashion" exhibition.

  • Changing Englishness: in Search of National Identity*
    ISSN 1392-0561. INFORMACIJOS MOKSLAI. 2008 45 Changing Englishness: In search of national identity* Elke Schuch Cologne University of Applied Sciences Institute of Translation and Multilingual Communication Mainzer Str. 5, D-50678 Köln, Germany Ph. +49-221/8275-3302 E-mail: [email protected] The subsumation of Englishness into Britishness to the extent that they were often indistinguishable has contributed to the fact that at present an English identity is struggling to emerge as a distinct category. While devolved Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have been able to construct a strong sense of local identity for themselves in opposition to the dominant English, England, without an e�uivalent Other, has never had to explain herself in the way Scotland or Wales have had to. But now, faced with the af- ter-effects of globalisation, devolution and an increasingly cosmopolitan and multicultural society as a conse�uence of de-colonisation and migration, the English find it difficult to invent a postimperial identity for themselves. This paper argues that there are chances and possibilities to be derived from the alleged crisis of Englishness: Britain as a nation-state has always accommodated large numbers of non-English at all levels of society. If England manages to re-invent itself along the lines of a civic, non- ethnic Britishness with which it has been identified for so long, the crisis might turn into the beginning of a more inclusive and cosmopolitan society which acknowledges not just the diversification of the people, particularly the legacy of the Empire, but also realises that the diversity of cultures has to be accommo- dated within a common culture.

I also wish to thank the members of my committee: Rebecca Krug for straightforward and honest critique that made my thinking and writing stronger, Shirley Nelson Garner for her keen attention to detail, and Lianna Farber for her kind encouragement through a long process. I would also like to thank the University of Minnesota English Department for travel and research grants that directly contributed to this project and the Graduate School for the generous support of a 2007-08 Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship. Fellow graduate students and members of the Medieval and Early Modern Research Group provided valuable support, advice, and collegiality. I would especially like to thank Elizabeth Ketner for her generous help and friendship, Ariane Balizet for sharing what she learned as she blazed the way through the dissertation and job search, Marcela Kostihová for encouraging my early modern interests, and Lindsay Craig for his humor and interest in my work.
