INTRODUCTION. S. Mary's Church, Hornsey HE Church of S. Mary consists of a nave, chan­ T cel, aisles and galleries. The old church was built, about the year 1500, from the ruins of the fortress in the Bishops Park. It was a plain struc­ ture, with an embattled tower at the west end. It was rebuilt in 1832, except the tower. The earliest date of the parish register is 1653. The churchyard is kept in decent order, many of the tombstones having been unearthed by the present rector, who takes a pride in making the ground a credit to his church,. The following memorial windows are of stained glass :— In piam memoriam ELIZABETHAE FRANCISCAE HARVEY, Nat a. s. MDCCCXXXIV. Ob. a. s. MDCCCXLVII.

Michael, T was founded as a chapel-of-ease to the church at Hornsey, prior to ,1565, when Griridel, Bisnop of London, as lord of the manor of Hornsey and pro­ prietor of the chapel, granted it to Sir Roger Cholme- ley, late Lord Chief Justice, with gardens, orchards, and two acres of land. The chapel was taken down in 1833. In 1866 a new chapel was erected, attached .to the grammar school, in the crypt of which the tomb of S. T. Coleridge, the poet, is enclosed.

All Saints Church, Tottenham HIS church, which is dedicated to All Saints, T stands about a quarter of a mile west of the high road, and is in the later style of English archi­ tecture, with a square embattled and ivy mantled tower.

At the east end of the south aisle is a vestry of circular form* surmounted by a dome, erected in 1696 by Lord Henry Colerane, and repaired in 1790. Underneath this is the family vault.

George Capen Says.· During the past few days, I have analyzed this year's Alumni Fund, now at 33,500. Frankly, while I am not disheartened, the results so far are not encouraging. When the National Alumni Association accepted on behal f of all the alumni a goal of $50,000, it was done because we knew that all alumni realize the importance to Trinity of an outstanding faculty. We knew, too, that a successful campaign would depend on these two factors: ( 1) Increased contributions from those alumni who have given in the past, and ( 2) contributions from the large number of alumni who had not contributed previously. The increases are just not coming through, and the rate of new contributors is very disappointing. However, a cheering trend is the fine showing of our younger alumni, those of the Classes of '49, '50, and '51. I know that Trinity alumni are interested in the faculty both because of the importance of good teaching at the college and also in recognition of their own personal appreciation of the men still at Trinity who taught them. But we are going to have to do a lot better in this Alumni Fund if the increases in faculty salaries given last Sep­ tember are to be covered.

  • Poems About Poets
    1 BYRON’S POEMS ABOUT POETS Some of the funniest of Byron’s poems spring with seeming spontaneity from his pen in the middle of his letters. Much of this section comes from correspondence, though there is some formal verse. Several pieces are parodies, some one-off squibs, some full-length. Byron’s distaste for most of the poets of his day shines through, with the recurrent and well-worn traditional joke that their books will end either as stuffing in hatshops, wrapped around pastries, or as toilet-tissue. Byron admired the English poets of the past – the Augustans especially – much more than he did any of his contemporaries. Of “the Romantic Movement” he knew no more than did any of the other writers supposed now to have been members of it. Southey he loathed, as a dreadful doppelgänger – see below. Of Wordsworth he also had a low opinion, based largely on The Excursion – to the ambitions of which Don Juan can be regarded as a riposte (there are as many negative comments about Wordsworth in Don Juan as there are about Southey). He was as abusive of Keats as it’s possible to be, and only relented (as he said), when Shelley showed him Hyperion. Of the poetry of his friend Shelley he was very guarded indeed, and compensated by defending Shelley’s moral reputation. Blake he seems not to have known (“Blake” was him the name of a well-known Fleet Street barber). The only poet of whom his judgement and modern estimate coincide is Coleridge: he was strong in his admiration for The Ancient Mariner, Kubla Khan, and Christabel; about the conversational poems he seems blank, and he feigns total incomprehension of the Biographia Literaria (see below).

  • Heraldic Terms
    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

  • Wren and the English Baroque
    What is English Baroque? • An architectural style promoted by Christopher Wren (1632-1723) that developed between the Great Fire (1666) and the Treaty of Utrecht (1713). It is associated with the new freedom of the Restoration following the Cromwell’s puritan restrictions and the Great Fire of London provided a blank canvas for architects. In France the repeal of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 revived religious conflict and caused many French Huguenot craftsmen to move to England. • In total Wren built 52 churches in London of which his most famous is St Paul’s Cathedral (1675-1711). Wren met Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) in Paris in August 1665 and Wren’s later designs tempered the exuberant articulation of Bernini’s and Francesco Borromini’s (1599-1667) architecture in Italy with the sober, strict classical architecture of Inigo Jones. • The first truly Baroque English country house was Chatsworth, started in 1687 and designed by William Talman. • The culmination of English Baroque came with Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726) and Nicholas Hawksmoor (1661-1736), Castle Howard (1699, flamboyant assemble of restless masses), Blenheim Palace (1705, vast belvederes of massed stone with curious finials), and Appuldurcombe House, Isle of Wight (now in ruins). Vanburgh’s final work was Seaton Delaval Hall (1718, unique in its structural audacity). Vanburgh was a Restoration playwright and the English Baroque is a theatrical creation. In the early 18th century the English Baroque went out of fashion. It was associated with Toryism, the Continent and Popery by the dominant Protestant Whig aristocracy. The Whig Thomas Watson-Wentworth, 1st Marquess of Rockingham, built a Baroque house in the 1720s but criticism resulted in the huge new Palladian building, Wentworth Woodhouse, we see today.

    An “imperfect” Model of Authorship in Dorothy Wordsworth’s Grasmere Journal HEATHER MEEK Abstract: This essay explores Dorothy Wordsworth’s collaborative, “pluralist” model of selfhood and authorship as it is elaborated in her Grasmere journal (1800-03). Nature and community, for her, are extensions of the self rather than (as they often are for her brother William) external forces to be subsumed by the self of the solitary artist. This model, however, is the site of ambivalence and conflict, and is therefore “imperfect” – a word Wordsworth herself uses to qualify the “summary” she believes her journal as a whole provides. It is “imperfect” not because it is inferior, weak, or deficient in some way, but because it is riddled with tension and inconsistency. Wordsworth embraces processes of collaborative creativity, but she also expresses – largely through her narrations of illness – dissatisfaction with such processes, and she sometimes finds relief in her solitary, melancholic musings. In these ways, she at once subverts, reworks, and reinforces conventional, ‘solitary genius’ paradigms of authorship. Contributor Biography: Heather Meek is Assistant Professor of English in the Department of Literatures and Languages of the World, Université de Montréal. Her research and teaching interests include eighteenth-century women’s writing, medical treatises, mental illness, and the intersections of literature and medicine. Dorothy Wordsworth’s well-known claim in an 1810 letter to her friend Catherine Clarkson – “I should detest the idea of setting myself up as an Author” (Letters 454) – has by now been interrogated at length.
