  • (1802-1834) Chapter 1 Harriet Martineau Grows up in Norwich
    Part 1 Early Life and Celebrity (1802-1834) Chapter 1 Harriet Martineau Grows Up in Norwich (1802-1819) When Harriet (the Martineaus’ sixth child) was born on 12 June 1802, Thomas’s Spanish trade was suffering from the effects of the Napoleonic wars, and the family moved from Gurney Court across Magdalen Street to a plain, three-story brick house.1 There, carts could pass through an arched passage from Magdalen Street to Thomas’s warehouse off Boswell’s Court. Utilitarian sheds bordered a planting strip where the Martineau children made gardens and where Harriet and James once tried to dig to China but as somber Victorian children decided instead to make a “grave” to test the feeling of being dead. Harriet Martineau’s autobiography, completed in 1855 when she thought she was dying, cites similar grim incidents from her childhood. Yet the Martineau family enjoyed games and carefree occasions--the girls had hoops and all played at battledore and cards. On special days Thomas let the children play among the bolts of cloth in his warehouse (Harriet remembered with anguish running off to play hide-and-seek and leaving behind her childhood friend who had lost a leg). Another traumatic moment for Harriet arose when the family climbed to the long-windowed room, built originally for weavers, to gaze at a rare comet. Strangely, the anxious nine-year-old Harriet could not see it.2 The accomplishments of Norwich writers and artists of the early nineteenth century like William Taylor--a respected scholar and translator of German literary works--or the painters John Sell Cotman and John Crome scarcely touched Thomas Martineau’s family.

  • The Shepherd on the Hill: Comparative Notes on English and German Romantic Landscape Painting 1810-1831
    The Shepherd on the Hill: Comparative Notes on English and German Romantic Landscape Painting 1810-1831. Conference paper Conference: ‘Romantic Correspondences’, The Centre for Regional Cultures, University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University, Newstead Abbey. Date: 4 November 2005 Abstract The solitary figure in the landscape can be understood in relation to certain, fundamentally Romantic traits – solitude, contemplation, oneness with nature – and is most notably found in the work of Caspar David Friedrich. Less recognised however is the fact that the solitary figure can also be found in the landscape paintings of many English artists of the early nineteenth century, particularly within depictions of commonly held pastoral landscapes. Within the traditional terms of English art history, the landscape genre of this period has also been closely associated with the concept of Romanticism. This paper will study the use of the solitary figure in paintings of open, common field landscape, and will compare two paintings: Caspar David Friedrich’s ‘Landscape with Rainbow (The Shepherd’s Complaint)’ of 1810, and John Sell Cotman’s ‘The Shepherd on the Hill’ of 1831. It will examine the more conventional Romantic resonances of Friedrich’s painting in order to question whether Cotman’s shepherd is a comparative example of Romantic solitude and contemplation, or whether it was more of a prosaic image of a typically English ‘rustic type’ at a time when a particular sense of national identity was emerging that was closely associated with the countryside and country life. From there, it is hoped that we can begin to reconsider the conventional Romantic image of English landscape painting in the first three decades of the nineteenth century.

  • Elizabeth Fry, Amelia Opie Two Lives Janet Whitney : Elizabeth Fry, Quaker Heroine
    Elizabeth Fry, Amelia Opie Two Lives Janet Whitney : Elizabeth Fry, Quaker Heroine. Harrap. 1937, pp. 328, I2S. 6d. Jacobine Menzies-Wilson and Helen Lloyd : Amelia : the Tale of a Plain Friend. Oxford University Press. 1937, PP- xu- + 299> I2S- t is a curious and to some extent a consoling fact, that this year of 1937, which has been dedicated to re-armament I and punctuated by wars, should see the publication of a standard life of Elizabeth Fry. The welcome that the book has met with is evidence, not only of the skill and sym­ pathy of the author, nor even of the most noble qualities of its subject ; but of the longing with which our country, haunted by fear of war, can still contemplate the achieve­ ments of applied Christianity. Janet Whitney has performed the service of breathing life into a great figure, who for nearly one hundred years has survived mainly in blue-books, and has only been recalled to memory for purposes of reference. Two years after her death, the pious task of writing the life of Elizabeth Fry was undertaken by two of her daughters, and the two stout volumes which resulted have shared the fate of the majority of standard works. Apart from the fact that, in common with all her children, they failed to understand their mother or sympathize with her nature, their book was doomed to early oblivion, because, after the accepted manner of Victorian biography it set the claims of propriety above those of veraciousness. Filial piety moreover, was at odds with the virtues of selection, and the volumes overflow with extracts from Elizabeth Fry's Journals, and with hortatory epistles, which can never have possessed any but a sentimental interest.
