MEMOIR OP MISS AUSTEN. .IANE AUSTEN was born on the 16th of December, 1775, at Steventon, in the county of Hants. Her father was rector of that parish upwards of forty years. There he resided in the conscientious and un­ assisted discharge of his ministerial duties until he Mas turned of seventy years. Then he retired with his wife, our authoress, and her sister, to Bath, for the remainder of his life, a period of about four years. Being not only a profound scholar, but possessing a most exquisite taste in every species of literature, it is not wonderful that his daughter Jane should, at a very early age, have become sensible to the charms of style, and enthusiastic in the cultivation of her own language. On the death of her father, she removed, with her mother and sister, for a short time, to Southampton; and finally. In 1809, to the pleasant village of Chawton in the same county. From this place she sent her novels into the world. Some of them had been the gradual performances of her previous life; for though in composition she was equally rapid and correct, yet A 3 VI MEMOIR OF MISS AUSTEN. an invincible distrust of her own judgment induced her to withhold her works from the public, till time and many perusals had satisfied her that the charm of recent composition was dissolved. The natural con­ stitution, the regular habits, the quiet and happy occu­ pations of our authoress, seemed to promise a long succession of amusement to the public, and a gradual increase of reputation to herself. But the symp­ toms of a decay, deep and incurable, began to show themselves in the commencement of 1816. Her decline was at first deceitfully slow; but in the month of May, 1817, it was found advisable that she should be removed to Winchester for the benefit of constant medical aid, which none, even then, dared to hope would be permanently beneficial. She supported, dur­ ing two months, all the varying pain, irksomeness, and tedium, attendant on decaying nature, with more than resignation — with a truly elastic cheerfulness. She retained her faculties, her memory, her fancy, her temper, and her affections, warm, clear, and unim­ paired, to the last. Her last voluntary speech con­ veyed thanks to her medical attendant; and to the final question asked of her, purporting to know her wants, she replied, " I want nothing but death." She expired shortly after, on Friday, the 18th of July, 1817, in the arms of her sister; and was buried, on the 24th of the same month, in the cathedral church of Win­ chester. Of personal attractions she possessed a consider­ able share ; her stature rather exceeded the middle height; her carriage and deportment were quiet, but graceful; her features were separately good ; their as­ semblage produced an unrivalled expression of that MEMOIR OF MISS AUSTEK. VU cheerfulness, sensibility, and benevolence, which were her real characteristics; her complexion was of the finest texture — it might with truth be said, that her eloquent blood spoke through her modest cheek; her voice was sweet; she delivered herself with fluency and precision; indeed, she was formed for elegant and ra­ tional society, excelling in conversation as much as in composition. In the present age it is hazardous to mention accomplishments; our authoress would pro­ bably have been inferior to few in such acquire­ ments, had she not been so superior to most, in higher things. It remains to make a few observations on that which Iier friends deemed more important, on those en­ dowments which sweetened every hour of their lives. If there be an opinion current in the world that a per­ fectly amiable temper is not reconcilable to a lively imagination, and a keen relish for wit, such an opinion will be rejected for ever by those who had the happi­ ness of knowing the authoress] of the following work. Though the frailties, foibles, and follies of others, could not escape her immediate detection, yet even on their vices did she never trust herself to comment with unkindness. The affectation of candour is not un­ common, but she had no affectation. Faultless herself, as nearly as human nature can be, she always sought^ in the faults of others, something to excuse, to forgive, or forget. Wliere extenuation was impossible, she had a sure refuge in silence. She never uttered either a hasty, a silly, or a severe expression. In short, her temper was as polished as her wit; and no one could be often in her company without feeling a strong desire of obtaining her friendship, and cherishing a hope of A 4 viii .MEMOIR or MISS AUSTEN.

  • The Irish Characters in Thackeray's Fiction
    RICE UNIVERSITY THE IRISH CHARACTERS IM THACKERAY*S FICTION tv EVELYN POWELL PAYNE A THESIS SUBM1T1ED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS 3 ’2^2 00263 5,8, Thesis Director*s signatures Houston* Texas May, 1963 ABSTRACT THE IRISH CHARACTERS IN THACKERAY*S FICTION by Evelyn Powell Payne In Thackeray*s fiction, the Irish characters compose a group with a number of common traits. Each of them has several of these qualities* the most common are belligerence, boastfulness about family and country, claims to descent from Irish kings, brogue speech, tendency to distort facts, fondness for drink, and self-delusion, A comparison of his fictional characters with Thackeray* observations in his Irish Sketch Book reveals that the author deliberately exaggerates the eccentricities of Irishmen for his fictional purposes. The Sketch Book is a fairly unbiased account of the country and its citizens and is often complimentary to the Irish, Thackeray*s portrayal of Irish characters in his novels and stories derives in part from a literary stereotype for which such nineteenth-century Irish writers as Charles Lever are largely responsible. Thackeray*s experiences with Irish acquaintances also contributed to his delineation of his characters. Most significant are his association in his professional life with Irish writers, and in his personal life with his wife*s relatives, the Shawe family. Most of Thackeray*s Irishmen, and some of the women, are comic characters, following the literary tradition Of the stage Irishman. They ran9e from extravagant a"d fanciful ii characters in his shorter works, such as Mrs* Perkins1 s Ball, a Christmas book, to almost equally extravagant but realistic Irishmen in the novels.

Early Victorian London was expanding at a furious pace. Much of the new suburban housing consisted of cheap copies of Georgian neo-classicism. At the same time a large part of the city’s centre, a substantial proportion of which had been rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1666, had fallen into decay. The alarming pace of change in the built environment was mirrored by that in the political realm. The threat of revolution, it was widely believed, could only be ended by a significant programme of reform but there was no consensus as to whether that should be essentially institutional, financial or moral. In these circumstances the past, and its material evidences, came to play a prominent role in the public imagination, as either a source of vital tradition or of dangerous vice and complacency.

  • Charles Lever (1806 –1872)
    Hidden gems and Forgotten People ULSTER HISTORY CIRCLE CHARLES LEVER (1806 –1872) Charles Lever was born in Dublin in 1806. He graduated from Trinity College, Dublin in 1828 with a degree in medicine. After some time in Europe he was appointed in 1833 to a medical post in County Clare during a cholera outbreak. Later in that year took up a post a dispensary doctor in Portstewart where he married and settled down for the next five years. His literary career began during his student days when he wrote for literary magazines. In 1837 he began serialising The Confessions of Harry Lorrequer in the Dublin University Magazine. Lorrequer was a string of rollicking stories, and Lever, who had written them late at night after the serious business of the day was over, was astonished at its success. "If this sort of thing amuses them, I can go on for ever." And go on he did, producing a long list of similar publications over the years. In 1837 Lever had left Ireland for Brussels and a more lucrative medical practice. The success of Harry Lorrequer was soon followed by Charles O'Malley: the Irish Dragoon, also in the Dublin University Magazine in 1840, and published by Curry in 1841, and Our Mess in 1843-4. In 1842 Lever gave up medical practice and moved to Templeogue, south-west of Dublin. The house became a mecca for those interested in fine hospitality and witty conversation. The young Thackeray visited Lever there, looking for material for his Irish Sketch Book (1843), later dedicated to Lever.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by White Rose E-theses Online ‘ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF — FIRST, NEGATIVELY’: CHARLES DICKENS, ANTHONY TROLLOPE, WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY AND FIRST-PERSON JOURNALISM IN THE 1860S FAMILY MAGAZINE HAZEL MACKENZIE PHD THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH AND RELATED LITERATURE SEPTEMBER 2010 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the editorial contributions of W.M. Thackeray, Charles Dickens and Anthony Trollope to the Cornhill Magazine, All the Year Round and Saint Pauls Magazine, analyzing their cultivation of a familiar or personal style of journalism in the context of the 1860s family magazine and its rhetoric of intimacy. Focusing on their first-person journalistic series, it argues that these writers/editors used these contributions as a means of establishing a seemingly intimate and personal relationship with their readers, and considers the various techniques that they used to develop that relationship, including their use of first-person narration, autobiography, the anecdote, dream sequences and memory. It contends that those same contributions questioned and critiqued the depiction of reader-writer relations which they simultaneously propagated, highlighting the distinction between this portrayal and the realities of the industrialized and commercialized world of periodical journalism. It places this within the context of the discourse of family that was integral to the identity of these magazines, demonstrating how these series both held up and complicated the idealized image of Victorian domesticity that was promoted by the mainstream periodical culture of the day, maintaining that this was a standard feature of family magazine journalism and theorizing that this was in fact a large part of its popular appeal to the family market.

  • Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
    Charles Dickens (1812-1870) Biography: nglish author Charles Dickens continues to be one of the most widely read Victorian (nineteenth-century) novelists. Scrooge, David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, and Nicholas E Nickelby remain familiar characters today. His novels describe the life and conditions of the poor and working class in the Victorian era of England, when people lived by strict rules. Charles John Huffam Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, at Portsea (later part of Portsmouth) on the southern coast of England, to John and Elizabeth Dickens. Charles was the second born of eight children. His father was a pay clerk in the navy office. Because of financial difficulties, the family moved about until they settled in Camden Town, a poor neighborhood in London, England. At the age of twelve Charles worked with working-class men and boys in a factory that handled "blacking," or shoe polish. While his father was in debtor's prison, the rest of the family moved to live near the prison, leaving Charles to live alone. This experience of lonely hardship was the most significant event of his life. It colored his view of the world and would later be described in a number of his novels. 190407 Bibliotheca Alexandrina Compiled by Dalia Abaza & Mahmoud Keshk Charles returned to school when his father received an inheritance and was able to repay his debts. But in 1827, at age fifteen, he was again forced leave school and work as an office boy. In the following year he became a freelance reporter and stenographer (using shorthand to transcribe documents) at the law courts of London.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)” . If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
