Martineau, who had died the previous year, had published numerous sketches of the recently dead for the Daily News between 1852 and 1863, many of which were collected in Biographical Sketches (1869).1 For Morley, these were “masterpieces in the style of the vignette. Their conciseness, their clearness in fact, their definiteness in judgment, and above all the rightly-graduated impression of the writer’s own personality in the background, make them perfect in their kind.”2 In reviewing Martineau’s work, Morley was himself writing a biographical sketch, a genre that was widespread in periodical literature by the middle of the nineteenth century. Accounts of recently dead editors and contributors ranged from obituaries and memoirs to reviews of books (especially biographies, memoirs, and autobiographies), but many were simply brief sketches of recent or earlier nineteenth century journalistic figures.

  • EHS NL February 2011
    February 2011 Volume 1, Issue 3 Elham in the Snow There has certainly been an excellent opportunity during the beginning and end of 2010 to go out and snap a few pictures of our lovely village in the snow. Therefore the EHS Committee feel that it would be a good time for you to send us your own favourite photographs that you have taken. They need not be from 2010, in fact the older the better, so here are a few to get you thinking. Ideally we would prefer you to email them to us, making them no bigger than 5 MB in size – Thank You. Elham, March 1909 Elham, Dec 2010 Move to formally become the Elham Historical Society The members of the EHS committee cannot believe that twelve months have gone by since they “volunteered ” to help set up the Elham Historical Study and the sight of over 40 prospective members at the first public meeting in May 2010 was very encouraging. Since then we have gone from strength to strength and now have over 80 members, therefore your committee are keen to ensure the ongoing success of the group. From the outset it has always been the aim of the committee to seek to formally become a society and with the upcoming first birthday event in April of this year we feel that the time is right for that move. We have now drafted a constitution and have determined a small number of elected roles so that members can vote for their favoured candidate at the April meeting.

  • The Jurats of Maidstone, 1549 -1660
    KENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY ON-LINE e-BOOK For the Good of This Town: The Jurats of Maidstone, 1549 -1660 Judy Buckley Photograph of 1640 memorial in All Saints Church by the Author Text 2009 ©Judy Buckley Foreword You shall True Faith bear to our Sovereign Lady, the Queen's Majesty that now is, Her Heirs and Successors, Kings and Queens of this realm. You shall have that regard and respect unto the Mayor that governeth this Town and Parish for the time being as is fit. And the lawful Franchises, Usages and Customs of the same Town and Parish, advance and maintain to the utmost of your power. And the same (as much as in you is) from unlawful grievance and damage shall keep. And as a Freeman of this Town and Parish, you shall bear yourself for the good of this Town, as it is fit and convenient. So help you God. Amen The freeman's oath, anciently administered in Maidstone. (Gilbert, Antiquities, 1865, p.126) This book is about the mayors and other jurats (aldermen) who led Maidstone from the granting of the first Borough Charter by Edward VI in 1549 until the end of the Commonwealth and the Restoration of Charles I in 1660. The period has been chosen to match Chapter III of The History of Maidstone (1995) by Peter Clark and Lynn Murfin. In that chapter they covered all aspects of Maidstone life, but this study will focus on the closely knit group of ninety seven men chosen by the common council - a traditional Tudor oligarchy - who influenced Maidstone during those years.

  • ENO What's on 2017/18 Season
    What’s On in 2017/18 Family feuds, lascivious lovers, breathtaking betrayals, devastating deaths and flocks of frolicking fairies. 1 Welcome to English National Opera ENO’s 2017/18 Season embraces a bold mixture of the old and new. Our audiences will have the opportunity to enjoy a whole raft of extraordinary opera, from the masterpieces of Handel and Mozart to the contemporary works of Philip Glass and Nico Muhly. We open in September with the first of our two major Verdi highlights this season: a striking new interpretation of his masterpiece Aida . We are delighted to welcome back conductor Keri-Lynn Wilson and director Phelim McDermott, who will also return later in the season to revive his iconic production of Philip Glass’s Satyagraha . It is absolutely imperative that ENO continues to develop innovative new work, and so we are thrilled to give the world premiere of Marnie , Nico Muhly’s fresh take on Winston Graham’s modern classic. Directed by Tony Award-winner Michael Mayer, this production will be the first conducted by Martyn Brabbins since his appointment as ENO Music Director in 2016. Following the success of last season’s The Pirates of Penzance , Cal McCrystal’s new production of Iolanthe will further strengthen ENO’s reputation as the premier home for the works of Gilbert and Sullivan. Moving from the hilarious to the heartbreaking, our final new production of the 2017/18 Season is a sweepingly romantic, sumptuous interpretation of La traviata from Artistic Director Daniel Kramer. For decades, ENO has enjoyed a very special relationship with the music of both Handel and Britten, and we are therefore excited to welcome back both Richard Jones’s Olivier Award-winning Rodelinda , and Robert Carsen’s magical A Midsummer Night’s Dream , and to stage a new production of The Turn of the Screw in collaboration with Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre.

The churchwardens have secured their churches against the winter weather to keep damage to a minimum. They have now started the dif- ficult and lengthy process of seeking funding to repair their roofs. RTCS is providing some financial support for these churches but the income we have from members’ subscriptions necessarily limits what we are able to do. We are therefore making a special appeal to mem- bers to help these and other round tower churches who lose their lead.

Supported by Arts Council England 1 Introduction to the 2005/6 Royal Opera Season – Antonio Pappano I’m really thrilled with the unusual mix of work the new Season offers. We open with concert performances of Donizetti’s last opera, Dom Sébastien. It’s one of Donizetti’s greatest achievements and yet it’s rarely heard. It’s bigger than the Donizetti we know and love and probably sounds more Verdian to our ears, but it’s an unusual piece in that it has a significant role (Zayda) for a mezzo-soprano instead of the usual soprano – we have Vesselina Kasarova singing the part. Piero Faggioni’s production of La fanciulla del West is an old Covent Garden favourite from the last 30 years and one I’ve always wanted to revive. It’s a piece that otherwise rarely comes up, and it deserves a renaissance. The Wild West setting seems so improbable but it works so well – we all love to see a Western, and Puccini’s music is very cinematic, brilliantly conjuring up the locale and colours of America. It’s one of his most sophisticated scores, as sophisticated, if not more so, than Turandot.
