  • “He Hath Mingled with the Ungodly”
    ―HE HATH MINGLED WITH THE UNGODLY‖: THE LIFE OF SIMEON SOLOMON AFTER 1873, WITH A SURVEY OF THE EXTANT WORKS CAROLYN CONROY TWO VOLUMES VOLUME I PH.D. THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART DECEMBER 2009 2 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the life and work of the marginalized British Pre-Raphaelite and Aesthetic homosexual Jewish painter Simeon Solomon (1840-1905) after 1873.This year was fundamental in the artist‘s professional and personal life, because it is the year that he was arrested for attempted sodomy charges in London. The popular view that has been disseminated by the early historiography of Solomon, since before and after his death in 1905, has been to claim that, after this date, the artist led a life that was worthless, both personally and artistically. It has also asserted that this situation was self-inflicted, and that, despite the consistent efforts of his family and friends to return him to the conventions of Victorian middle-class life, he resisted, and that, this resistant was evidence of his ‗deviancy‘. Indeed, for over sixty years, the overall effect of this early historiography has been to defame the character of Solomon and reduce his importance within the Aesthetic movement and the second wave of Pre-Raphaelitism. It has also had the effect of relegating the work that he produced after 1873 to either virtual obscurity or critical censure. In fact, it is only recently that a revival of interest in the artist has gained momentum, although the latter part of his life from 1873 has still remained under- researched and unrecorded.

The first Directory of this kind was published in August, 1?02. The term "Labor Organizations" as used in this Directory is a group of employees or wage earners organized for the purpose of improving their status through negotiations with employers.

I wish to express my gratitude towards the Graduiertenkolleg Codierung von Gewalt im medialen Wandel for giving me the opportunity to work with a number of amazing individuals and exchange ideas across disciplinary boundaries, and also for providing the financial means to make travelling in order to do research for this project possible. Special thanks goes out to the helpful staff at Gloucestershire Archives. Above all, I am greatly indebted to Prof. Sabine Schülting for providing the warm intellectual home in which this project could thrive, and for blending munificent support with astute criticism. I am most grateful to have benefited from her supervision. I wish to extend my most heartfelt thanks to Maggie Rouse, Sabine Lucia Müller, Anja Schwarz, Judith Luig, and to Kai Wiegandt for their insightful comments on various parts of this dissertation in various stages, but, more importantly, for unerring support and motivation. These were also given most generously by my brother-in-law, Matthias Pohlig, who read the manuscript with a keen historian's eye and provided invaluable feedback at a crucial stage of its genesis.

  • The WB and George Yeats Library: a Short-Title Catalog
    The W. B. and George Yeats Library: A Short-title Catalog Undertaken in Dalkey and Dublin, Ireland, 1986-2006 by Wayne K. Chapman ! Clemson University Digital Press Clemson, South Carolina © 2006 Clemson University ! Preface his catalog of bibliographic citations accounts for every publication identified as part of the TW. B. Yeats Library, which, since the death of Anne Yeats in 2001, has become a distinct part of the National Library of Ireland (NLI). In effect, the alphabetical list constitutes a census of the items that define the Yeats Library as a body, not counting publications that were sold or otherwise dispersed by the poet or his wife, George Yeats, in their lifetimes, or by members of their family up to 1971, when the late Glenn O’Malley made an inventory that became the foundation for Edward O’Shea’s A Descriptive Catalog of the W. B. Yeats Library, Volume 470 of the Garland Reference Library of the Humanities (New York: Garland Publishing, 1985). Although that volume is difficult to locate today beyond the libraries that acquired copies before the book went out of print, it was the decision of the NLI to maintain O’Shea’s alphabetical arrangement and numbering system instead of the subject order used by Yeats and his wife and as reconstructed in the shelving arrangements that Anne Yeats and Yeats scholars found convenient when the library occupied her study at “Avalon,” Dalkey, Co. Dublin.1 As I’ve said elsewhere, most of the books at that time, “save those of W. B. Yeats and oversized, multivolume sets such as the three Cambridge history series (ancient, medieval, and modern periods),” were “in one room although at no time when Yeats was alive did he have a ‘library’ as such.

  • Titanic Victims and Survivors Remembered
    Titanic Victims and Survivors Remembered A new index of death notices and in memoriams in Southampton local newspapers by Veronica Green Southampton Central Library 2016 Introduction The first edition of this index concentrated on the death notices of victims and survivors of the Titanic Disaster. This new edition includes more survivors, and also the “in memoriams” published in Southampton papers for 100 years on the 15 April, the anniversary of the disaster. Victims In the days and weeks following the Titanic disaster, the “Births, Marriages and Deaths” columns of the Southampton newspapers were filled with notices of the deaths of local victims. These notices, submitted by friends and family, often contain information not readily available elsewhere, such as age and address, and the names of parents, wives, children and friends. These notices are the core of this index. Names are as published in the original source, and we have transcribed all factual details. In the interest of clarity, we have not included all the religious and loving sentiments, like quotations from the Bible and hymns, that embellished the original columns. This index was compiled by Veronica Green in the Local Studies and Maritime Library, Southampton Central Library, home to an extensive collection of Titanic-related publications. It makes use of our microfilm copies of the following newspapers: Hampshire Advertiser (weekly) Hampshire Independent (weekly) Southampton Times (weekly) Southern Daily Echo (daily) These were scanned from the date of the disaster until no further notices for Titanic victims appeared (approximately mid-June 1912). Survivors We have also included death notices for Titanic survivors as we have learnt their dates of death.

  • Strays - Introduction
    Bristol & Avon Family History Society Strays - Introduction The Strays listed in this document are people born or who usually lived in the former county of Avon (Bristol, Bath, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire) but have been found (often by chance) in another county. They have been submitted to the Society by family historians for in- clusion in this document and have been taken from many different sources such as baptismal, marriage and death registers, newspapers and monumental inscriptions. Prior to the advent of the internet and its powerful search facilities, locating ancestors who had moved away from their place of birth (or where they usually lived) was an extremely difficult, if not impossible task and the Strays file offered a ray of hope to researchers whose ancestors had ‘dissappeared off the radar’. Nowadays, the internet makes it much easier to find people wherever they are located but nevertheless, the Strays file can still give a clue as to their whereabouts when you hit that ‘brickwall’. Please bear in mind that this document is a secondary source and reseachers should endeavour to verify all information used. The Society is still maintaining its Strays file and we welcome your submissions although we are not recording information from census records because they are widely available on-line. Please include as much information as possible, especially about the source document. For example, if the source is a newspaper article, please include the following: • name of the newspaper • date of its publication • page
