    Classic Poetry Series Horace Smith - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Horace Smith(31 December 1779 - 12 July 1849) Horace (born Horatio) Smith was an English poet and novelist, perhaps best known for his participation in a sonnet-writing competition with <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/percy-bysshe-shelley/">Percy Bysshe Shelley</a>. It was of him that Shelley said: "Is it not odd that the only truly generous person I ever knew who had money enough to be generous with should be a stockbroker? He writes poetry and pastoral dramas and yet knows how to make money, and does make it, and is still generous." <b>Biography</b> Smith was born in London, the son of a London solicitor, and the fifth of eight children. He was educated at Chigwell School with his elder brother James Smith, also a writer. Horace first came to public attention in 1812 when he and his brother James (four years older than he) produced a popular literary parody connected to the rebuilding of the Drury Lane Theatre, after a fire in which it had been burnt down. The managers offered a prize of £50 for an address to be recited at the Theatre's reopening in October. The Smith brothers hit on the idea of pretending that the most popular poets of the day had entered the competition and writing a book of addresses rejected from the competition in parody of their various styles. James wrote the parodies of Wordsworth, Southey, Coleridge and Crabbe, and Horace took on Byron, Moore, Scott and Bowles.

  • Othello and Its Rewritings, from Nineteenth-Century Burlesque to Post- Colonial Tragedy
    Black Rams and Extravagant Strangers: Shakespeare’s Othello and its Rewritings, from Nineteenth-Century Burlesque to Post- Colonial Tragedy Catherine Ann Rosario Goldsmiths, University of London PhD thesis 1 Declaration I declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own. 2 Acknowledgements Firstly, I want to thank my supervisor John London for his immense generosity, as it is through countless discussions with him that I have been able to crystallise and evolve my ideas. I should also like to thank my family who, as ever, have been so supportive, and my parents, in particular, for engaging with my research, and Ebi for being Ebi. Talking things over with my friends, and getting feedback, has also been very helpful. My particular thanks go to Lucy Jenks, Jay Luxembourg, Carrie Byrne, Corin Depper, Andrew Bryant, Emma Pask, Tony Crowley and Gareth Krisman, and to Rob Lapsley whose brilliant Theory evening classes first inspired me to return to academia. Lastly, I should like to thank all the assistance that I have had from Goldsmiths Library, the British Library, Senate House Library, the Birmingham Shakespeare Collection at Birmingham Central Library, Shakespeare’s Birthplace Trust and the Shakespeare Centre Library and Archive. 3 Abstract The labyrinthine levels through which Othello moves, as Shakespeare draws on myriad theatrical forms in adapting a bald little tale, gives his characters a scintillating energy, a refusal to be domesticated in language. They remain as Derridian monsters, evading any enclosures, with the tragedy teetering perilously close to farce. Because of this fragility of identity, and Shakespeare’s radical decision to have a black tragic protagonist, Othello has attracted subsequent dramatists caught in their own identity struggles.

Space and Culture, India 2019, 7:1 Page | 56 https://doi.org/10.20896/saci.v7i1.420 SPECIAL ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS P.B. Shelley’s Poem Ozymandias in Russian Translations Dmitry Nikolayevich Zhatkin †*and Anna Anatolyevna RyabovaÌ Abstract The article presents a comparative analysis of Russian translations of P.B.Shelley’s poem Ozymandias (1817), carried out by Ch. Vetrinsky, A.P. Barykova, K.D. Balmont, N. Minsky, V.Ya. Bryusov in 1890 – 1916. These translations fully reflect the peculiarities of the social and political, cultural and literary life in Russia of the late 19th – early 20th Centuries, namely weakening of the political system, growing of interest to the culture of Ancient Egypt, and strengthening of Neoromanticism in opposition to Naturalism in literature. In the process of the analysis, we used H. Smith’s sonnet Ozymandias, P.B. Shelley’s sonnet Ozymandias and its five Russian translations. The methods of historical poetics of A.N. Veselovsky, V.M. Zhirmunsky and provisions of the linguistic theory of translation of A.V. Fedorov were used. The article will be interesting for those studying literature, languages, philology. Keywords: P.B.

  • Jane Stabler, “Religious Liberty in the 'Liberal,' 1822-23”
    Jane Stabler, Religious Liberty in the Lib... http://www.branchcollective.org/?ps_articles=jane-stabler-religious-liberty-in-the-liberal Jane Stabler, “Religious Liberty in the ‘Liberal,’ 1822-23” Figure 1: Thomas Philipps, Portrait of Lord Byron (1824) To think about the Liberal as an important event is to enter contentious territory. William Hazlitt (who was a contributor) described the journal as “obnoxious” in its day (Complete Works 12. 379), and in the following century, it was usually regarded as a failure or, at least, a disappointment—something that never really came together before it fell apart. In 1910, Barnette Miller described it as “a vague, up-in-the-air scheme, wholly lacking in coordination and common sense” (113). Metaphors of death and still-birth pervade the twentieth-century criticism: according to C. L. Cline “The Liberal died with the fourth number” (247); Leslie P. Pickering summarises the project thus: “in as meteoric a manner as it lived, so did the journal die, bearing with it to its untimely grave the ruined hopes of its progenitors, until now its name conveys but little to the minds of the many” (7-8). The seminal study by William H. Marshall declared, “the real question does not concern the causes of the failure of The Liberal but the reason that any of the participants thought that it could succeed” (212). In Richard Holmes’s biography of Shelley, the journal “folded quietly . after only four issues, the final collapse of Shelley’s original Pisan plan” (731); in Fiona MacCarthy’s biography of Byron, the Liberal was a “critical and financial disaster” and, after Byron’s final contribution, it simply “folded” (456).

  • Letter to John Murray Esquire [Work in Progress]
    1 Letter to John Murray Esquire [work in progress] Byron both admired Pope, as an outstanding poet, and identified with him, as a cripple and scourge of dunces. When Pope’s morals were impugned (and on the slenderest of evidence), he was as quick in Pope’s defence as he was when his own far more vulnerable morals were attacked. When someone assailed Pope on grounds which seemed at once literary and moral, and deeply dubious to boot, he was trebly incensed. William Lisle Bowles (1762-1850), was a poet, editor, and a prolix and inexhaustible literary polemicist. He was vicar of Bremhill, Wiltshire, and his most famous poems were his Sonnets (1789, many reprints), which Coleridge, especially, admired. He was chaplain to the Prince Regent, and last but not least a friend of Southey and Coleridge. He had brought out a complete edition of Pope in ten volumes in 1806, which Byron possessed, but sold in 1816, with the rest of his library. Bowles’s introduction concludes thus: If these and other parts of his character appear less amiable, let the reader constantly keep in mind the physical and moral causes which operated on a mind like his: let him remember his life, “one long disease,” the natural passions, which he must have felt in common with all the world, disappointed: his tenderness thrown back on his heart, only to gather there with more force, and more ineffectual wishes: his confined education, intrusted chiefly to those who were themselves narrow-minded: his being used from the cradle to listen only the voice of partial indulgence; of tenderness, almost maternal, in all who contemplated his weakness and his incipient talents.

  • JBR 54 4 POST-1800-Book Reviews 1032..1067
    Book Reviews ▪ 1057 EMMA PEACOCKE. Romanticism and the Museum. Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and the Cultures of Print. New York: Palgrave, 2015. Pp. 195. $90.00 (cloth). doi: 10.1017/jbr.2015.164 Emma Peacocke’s Romanticism and the Museum is a well-researched and carefully put together study of the place of the museum in romantic-era Britain. She convincingly argues for the im- portant role played by the museum in shaping the British public sphere and national commu- nity in response to the trauma of war with Revolutionary and Napoleonic France. It does much to synthesize and bring to a wider audience the arguments of other critics about the ways in which the idea of the museum in this era evolved in direct competition with the dominant French paradigm of the Louvre. Its four chapters offer case histories of the museum in British romantic writing—in William Wordsworth, Walter Scott, Maria Edgeworth, and a group of journalists and poets responding to the Elgin marbles controversy, principally Lord Byron and Horace Smith. Collectively these chapters point to the significance of the lit- erary and journalistic representation of the museum as a crucial space for historicizing impulses to emerge, and with them reflections on the state of the nation. Individually, their close read- ings and careful research give to these chapters a fresh view of familiar texts and writers by jux- taposing them with what were, until recently, neglected archives of literary and journalistic writing. Since (unlike its French counterpart) the British idea of the museum and especially the museum of natural science is largely a Victorian invention, this book digs back to unearth a prehistory of the formation of the museum as a recognizably modern institution.
