The Clockwork Muse: Rituals of Writing in Nineteenth-Century Britain THE CLOCKWORK MUSE: RITUALS OF WRITING IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY BRITAIN Grace Campbell Vasington West Hartford, Connecticut Bachelor of Arts, University of Connecticut, 2013 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English Language and Literature University of Virginia May 2019 Acknowledgements This dissertation is a project about daily life and daily writing. The daily experience of writing these pages has been infinitely enriched by the people who have seen me through it. I can only begin to tally up their contributions and their time. Suffice to say, without their advice, creativity, and boundless generosity, this dissertation would not have been possible. To my brilliant committee, who shepherded this project out of an ungainly adolescence and have by now read far too many drafts. Thank you to Andy Stauffer for always knowing the right questions to ask, and for foreseeing the pitfalls along the way. Thank you also to Steve Arata, who reads novels with such astonishing insight and who has responded to this material with generosity and care at every stage of the process. And to Chip Tucker, who has supported this project day in and day out, and whose wisdom and wit have made this work such a joy. Thank you for allowing me the freedom to follow this topic where it led me, even and especially when the path felt beyond my abilities. I owe many other debts, not least to Susan Fraiman, who has given more of her time over the years than I have any right to expect. Thank you for your mentorship and your endless encouragement. I can only hope to one day write with your incisiveness and clarity of purpose. To the members of UVa’s nineteenth-century working group, who offered such thorough feedback on material from this project and who have pushed me to write and think more transatlantically. To Mollie Washburne, the best managing editor I could ever ask for, who has been an indefatigable cheerleader since I began working at NLH in 2014. To Miss Lucy Felski, who kept me laughing during this last year (and to Rita Felski for entrusting her to my care). To my wonderful dissertation writing group, DeVan Ard, Emelye Keyser, Caleb Agnew, and Kelli Shermeyer. You are brilliant, kind, and hilarious, and I could not have made it through without your humor and your friendship. To Sarah Berkowitz, for the many movie dates and the fresh-baked bread. To Samantha Wallace and Ali Glassie, who have listened to, encouraged, and laughed with me so much over the past four years. To Lara Musser, the Sherlock to my Watson, who never lets me take myself too seriously and who always tells me I am smarter than I think I am. And to all my wonderful non-UVa friends who have made that long-distance friendship feel so effortless—especially to Carol Fabricant, who has been inspiring me with her intelligence, kindness, and curiosity for twenty-two years (and counting). And finally, to my family. My mother, whose goodness and passion for learning amazes me every day. My father, who has always believed so fiercely in his children’s ability to determine our own paths. My sister, my better half, who has been my best inspiration and biggest support. And to the rest of our sprawling clan, both here and departed, who love each other so well. Thank you. 2 Contents List of Illustrations 4 Introduction 5 Midnight Chapter One: Victorian Vigil and Attentive Reading Practices 18 I. Vigil and Faith 27 II. Midnight Domesticity 50 III.

Nor does it come from a foreman ordering the seamstress back to order. It seemingly emerges from the seamstress herself, who must “work—work—work! / From weary chime to chime.”1 Is “work” here imperative or declarative? Is the clock’s discipline externally or self-imposed? In a sense it is both these things at once. The clock chimes out, but the woman’s song converts the clock’s “chime” into speech, synonymous with the order that she both obeys and anticipates. This ability of the clock to “order” the bodies and minds of workers, “melting into the interstices of practical consciousness,” would later gain the name “time-discipline.”2 The clock, and its precise division of time into units of production and value, evoke in texts like Hood’s a 1 Thomas Hood, “Song of the Shirt,” Punch 5 (1843): 260 (lines 42; 49-50). See Lynn M. Alexander, Women, Work, and Representation: Needlewomen in Victorian Art and Literature (Athens, OH: Ohio Univ. Press, 2003), esp. “Slaves to the Needle” (209-228). 2 The term “time-discipline” was coined by E. P. Thompson in “Time, Work-Discipline, and Industrial Capitalism,” an invaluable text to which I refer throughout this dissertation. He was anticipated in many respects by not just nineteenth-century figures like Marx and Thomas Carlyle, who called the century “the Age of Machinery, in every outward and inward sense of that word” ( “Signs of the Times,” Edinburgh Review 49 [June 1829]: 443), but also by Lewis Mumford’s foundational Technics and Civilization in 1934. Mumford named the clock, and not the steam engine, “the key-machine of the modern industrial age . both the outstanding fact and the typical symbol of the machine: even today no other machine is so ubiquitous. In its relationship to determinable quantities of energy, to standardization, to automatic action, and finally to its own special product, accurate timing, the clock has been the foremost machine in modern technics: and at each period it has remained in the lead: it marks a perfection toward which other machines aspire” (Mumford, Technics and Civilization [Chicago: Chicago Univ. Press, 2014], 14-15). John Tresch takes the more expected approach to this question, heralding the nineteenth century’s “replacement of the balanced clock, lever, or balance as symbol of order and knowledge by the productive steam engine”—a replacement that for Tresch also heralds a movement away from “lifeless” classical machinery toward “romantic” machinery, typified by “a spontaneous, living, and constantly developing nature; it produced aesthetic effects and emotional states” (Tresch, The Romantic Machine: Utopian Science and Technology after Napoleon [Chicago: Univ. of Chicago Press, 2012], 103; 12). 5 unilateral system of timely commands and human responses that exists somewhere between habitus and hegemony.3 “I have seen . these minutiae,” wrote Karl Marx in Das Kapital (1867), “which, with military uniformity, regulate by stroke of the clock the times, limits, pauses of the work.”4 Marx’s timely “minutiae” in many ways presage an automated world deaf to human cares. While the clock’s language is easily understood and mentally assimilated by the seamstress, the clock appears in Hood’s industrial poetry both unresponsive to workers’ songs and laments, and oblivious to the fatigue, injury, or illness which that labor occasions. Take for example “The Workhouse Clock”: Oh that the Parish Powers, Who regulate Labor’s hours, The daily amount of human trial, Weariness, pain, and self-denial, Would turn from the artificial dial That striketh ten or eleven, And go, for once, by that older one That stands in the light of Nature’s sun, And takes its time from Heaven! (“The Workhouse Clock,” lines 77-85)5 3 Nigel Thrift, “The Making of Capitalist Time Consciousness,” in The Sociology of Time, ed.

The posture of surrogate pleading for a voiceless continued a hallmark of 1840s Victorian social-problem poetry, in such works as Hood’s “The Bridge of Sighs” and “The Lay of the Labourer” and Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s “The Cry of the Children.” See J. S. Bratton, “Ballads of the Common Man,” in Victorian Popular Ballad (London: Macmillan, 1975), 89-136.

  • Early Nineteenth-Century British Drama and the Greek War of Independence
    Staging Transcultural Relations: Early Nineteenth-Century British Drama and the Greek War of Independence Alexander Grammatikos, Langara College Abstract Keywords This paper examines two British Romantic dramas written Nineteenth-Century British during the Greek War of Independence and its aftermath: George Drama; Greek War of Burges’s The Son of Erin or the Cause of the Greeks (1823) Independence; British Romantic and John Baldwin Buckstone’s The Maid of Athens; or, the Re- Hellenism; Philhellenism; Lord volt of the Greeks (1829). The paper discusses the plays’ portray- Byron als of transcultural interactions between Greeks and Europeans (Irish and British) and argues that the two dramas encourage audiences to see similarities between themselves and Greeks, while also critiquing British apathy toward the Greeks’ efforts to achieve liberation. Despite Burges’s and Buckstone’s shared support for the Greek war, however, an important difference between the two texts exists: while The Son of Erin maintains a relentless attack on the British government for aligning British politics with Ot- toman policies and remaining indifferent toward the Greek war, The Maid of Athens suggests that Britons who take advantage of Greeks’ subjugation misrepresent Britain’s true feelings about the Greek War of Independence. JMH 34 (2019): Special Issue JMH 34 (2019): Special Issue Article: Alexander Grammatikos Introduction In his seminal text, That Greece Might Still Be Free: The Philhellenes in the War of Independence, William St. Clair writes that “[o]ne of the surprising features of the history of philhellenism during the Greek War of Independence is the slowness of the response in Britain.

    Olympiodorus The Life of Plato Translated by George Burges in The Works of Plato: a new and literal version (London: Henry G. Bohn, 1865), volume VI, pp. 232-240. Some of the translator’s notes have been omitted and there are some changes to the text to facilitate easier reading. This document is in the public domain. platonic-philosophy.org Come then, let us speak of the family of the philosopher, not for the sake of prolixity, but of benefit rather and instruction to those, who betake themselves to him. For he was not “a Nobody,” but rather— To many of mankind he was a care. For Plato is said to have been a son of his father Ariston, the son of Aristocles, from whom he carried up his family to Solon, the law-giver; and hence he wrote, in imitation of his ancestor, the Laws in twelve books, and a Political Constitution in eleven. He came into the world by his mother Perictione, who was descended from Neleus, the son of Codrus. For they say that Apollo in a vision had an intercourse with his mother Perictione, and, appearing in the night to Ariston, ordered him to have no connexion with Perictione until the time of her bringing forth. And so he acted. And his parents taking him after his birth, and when he was still an infant, placed him on Mount Hymettus, intending to make a sacrifice to the deities there, namely, Pan, and the Nymphs, and Apollo, who presides over shepherds. But while he was lying there, bees came and filled his mouth with honey from the comb, in order that it might be said truly of him— From his mouth flow’d a voice than honey far more sweet.

  • The Short History of Science
    PHYSICS FOUNDATIONS SOCIETY THE FINNISH SOCIETY FOR NATURAL PHILOSOPHY PHYSICS FOUNDATIONS SOCIETY THE FINNISH SOCIETY FOR www.physicsfoundations.org NATURAL PHILOSOPHY www.lfs.fi Dr. Suntola’s “The Short History of Science” shows fascinating competence in its constructively critical in-depth exploration of the long path that the pioneers of metaphysics and empirical science have followed in building up our present understanding of physical reality. The book is made unique by the author’s perspective. He reflects the historical path to his Dynamic Universe theory that opens an unparalleled perspective to a deeper understanding of the harmony in nature – to click the pieces of the puzzle into their places. The book opens a unique possibility for the reader to make his own evaluation of the postulates behind our present understanding of reality. – Tarja Kallio-Tamminen, PhD, theoretical philosophy, MSc, high energy physics The book gives an exceptionally interesting perspective on the history of science and the development paths that have led to our scientific picture of physical reality. As a philosophical question, the reader may conclude how much the development has been directed by coincidences, and whether the picture of reality would have been different if another path had been chosen. – Heikki Sipilä, PhD, nuclear physics Would other routes have been chosen, if all modern experiments had been available to the early scientists? This is an excellent book for a guided scientific tour challenging the reader to an in-depth consideration of the choices made. – Ari Lehto, PhD, physics Tuomo Suntola, PhD in Electron Physics at Helsinki University of Technology (1971).

  • Unpublished Conjectures at Leiden on the Greek Dramatists P
    Unpublished Conjectures at Leiden on the Greek Dramatists P. J. Finglass N THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY at Leiden there are many un- published autograph manuscripts and marginalia in printed editions which contain numerous conjectures on the Greek I 1 dramatists. In July 2007 and July 2008 I spent a total of ten days examining some of them. The results are presented in this article, which is divided into four parts: I, The conjectures themselves; II, An assessment of the consequences of this discovery; III, An investigation into why Valckenaer never published his extensive work on Sophocles; IV, The fate of other manuscripts on Greek drama written by Valckenaer and Pierson. I. The conjectures The manuscripts and marginalia present dozens of conjec- tures which anticipate the work of later scholars, or which have subsequently appeared in manuscripts uncollated at that time,2 1 The manuscripts are catalogued in [P. C. Molhuysen], Codices Biblio- thecae Publicae Latini (Codices Manuscripti III [Leiden 1912]: “BPL” in the manuscript shelfmarks) and online (see under http://ub.leidenuniv.nl/ collecties/bijzonder/ [checked 20th February 2009]). The online book cat- alogue (U–CAT) records whether a given volume has scholarly marginalia, and its author (for a given entry click on “Show” next to “Availability”). 2 Particular caution is required with this kind of anticipatory conjecture, since we cannot always tell which manuscripts were available to scholars at different times. For the value of this information cf. M. L. West, Textual Criticism and Editorial Technique applicable to Greek and Latin Texts (Stuttgart 1973) 87 n.13: “Conjectures that have been confirmed e.g.
