WILLIAM AND HELEN ALLINGHAM This is about a book that we found in Thoreau’s personal library and another book by the same author, out of which Thoreau copied into his 1st commonplace book. Our project, if there is one, will be to figure out what Thoreau was deriving from this particular author — what it was, if anything, that Thoreau had found of value in his work. “NARRATIVE HISTORY” AMOUNTS TO FABULATION, THE REAL STUFF BEING MERE CHRONOLOGY “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project William Allingham HDT WHAT? INDEX WILLIAM ALLINGHAM HELEN ALLINGHAM 1824 March 19, Friday: William Allingham was born near Ballyshannon, County Donegal, Ireland, as a son of a bank manager. Jose Antonio de Oliveira Leite de Barros, conde de Basto replaced Joaquim Pedro Gomes de Oliveira as Secretary of State (prime minister) of Portugal.

William Allingham “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project HDT WHAT? INDEX WILLIAM ALLINGHAM HELEN ALLINGHAM May 9, Tuesday: Thomas Carlyle’s THE FRENCH REVOLUTION began to come off the presses: The work’s message must not be over-simplified: but it does seem a clear statement of Carlyle’s belief in the effects of the destruction of God’s natural order. When the leaders of French society neglected their duties, they found the political order challenged, and feudalism, then monarchy, abandoned. As faithlessness broke out and society broke down, the duty of ruling was passed to those unfitted for it, and finally to a mob. Anarchy, which Carlyle regarded as the manifestation of divine punishment, continued more and more violently until (as personified by Danton and Robespierre) exhausted with its own excesses; in the absence of a natural order came, too, rampant injustice. Humanity and civilization were wrecked, and the effects spread far beyond France. Carlyle explained this with unrestrained passion. He saw history as a continuum, and what had driven him on was the belief that the lessons of half a century earlier with which he lectured his readers were, like all experience, still vital today. This, like so much else of Carlyle’s thought, had German roots. Talking to his friend William Allingham in 1871, Carlyle said: “I often think of Immanuel Kant’s notion —no real Time or Space, these are only appearances— and think it is true.” This is the “natural supernaturalism” of SARTOR RESARTUS. To make the proper didactic point, he communicates facts with, as in Oliver Cromwell eight years later, “elucidations” that reflect his own prejudices. Like most of Carlyle’s works, it is self-centered because it is more about Carlyle than about its notional subject.... A central passage outlines not just the effects of the betrayal of feudal principles, but also sets out Carlyle’s own agenda for the next fifteen years. It is strong meat, too, for those who believe that Carlyle was some sort of proto-fascist who made a rule of siding with the oppressor: Fancy, then, some Five full-grown Millions of such gaunt figures, with their haggard faces (figures hâves); in wollen jupes, with copper-studded leather girths, and high sabots, — starting up to ask, as in forest-roarings, their washed Upper Classes, after long unreviewed centuries, virtually this question: How have ye treated us; how have ye taught us, fed us, and led us, while we toiled for you? The answer can be read in flames, over the nightly summer- sky. This is the feeding and leading we have had of you; EMPTYNESS, — of pocket, of stomach, of head and of heart. Behold there is nothing in us; nothing but what Nature gives her wild children in the desert: Ferocity and Appetite: Strength grounded on Hunger. Did ye mark among your Rights of Man, that man was not to die of starvation, while there was bread reaped by him? It is among the Mights of Man. ... But the ultimate message points ahead, from England in 1837 when Carlyle finished writing: “Out of a world of Unwise nothing but an Unwisdom can be made. Arrange it, constitution-build it, sift it through ballot-boxes as thou wilt, it is and remains an Unwisdom.” This belief was to dominate his thinking, producing within him a pessimism that alternated between comedy and ferocity.

INDEX WILLIAM ALLINGHAM HELEN ALLINGHAM 1863 Completion of serial publication of William Allingham’s verse novel LAURENCE BLOOMFIELD IN IRELAND, which dealt with land-relations in a manner sympathetic to the tenants, during the previous year and this year in Fraser’s Magazine. His landlord hero, upon taking charge of his estate, dismissed his bailiff for cruelty and burned the bailiff’s list of Ribbonmen, halting evictions and instituting fair dealing. Despite this fair treatment of the peasants, this kindly landlord was unable to prevent them from taking their revenge on the former bailiff. This novel, when it would be published in book form, would win him the appreciation of George Eliot, John Stuart Mill, and Ford Madox Brown. The founding of the “Irish People” newspaper.

THE FUTURE CAN BE EASILY PREDICTED IN RETROSPECT “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project William Allingham HDT WHAT? INDEX WILLIAM ALLINGHAM HELEN ALLINGHAM 1865 January 15, Sunday: In Concord, Moses Prichard died. Thomas Carlyle took the last ms leaves of his THE HISTORY OF FRIEDRICH II OF PRUSSIA, CALLED FREDERICK THE GREAT to the post-office. He would comment that his labors on this history had nearly killed him:2 Evening still vivid to me. I was not joyful of mood; sad rather, mournfully thankful, but indeed half-killed, and utterly wearing out and sinking into stupefied collapse after my “comatose” efforts to continue the long fight of thirteen years to finis. On her [Jane’s] face, too, when I went out, there was a silent, faint, and pathetic smile, which I well felt at the moment, and better now! 2. William Allingham would characterize this work as “the reductio ad absurdum of Carlyleism.” Simon Heffer would say: The book is shot through with Carlyle’s fundamental prejudices. It is a pursuit of a hero, one made all the more special by his self-reclamation from a degenerate, effete youth. It is a celebration of Germanism, more particularly Prussianism, and the resolute process of Germanisation. Above all, it is the text adduced, quite fairly, by Carlyle’s critics to prove his belief in the “might is right” thesis.

    A BOOK OF IRISH VERSE W.B. YEATS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL LITERARY SOCIETY OF DUBLIN AND THE IRISH LITERARY SOCIETY OF LONDON PREFACE I HAVE not found it possible to revise this book as completely as I should have wished. I have corrected a bad mistake of a copyist, and added a few pages of new verses towards the end, and softened some phrases in the introduction which seemed a little petulant in form, and written in a few more to describe writers who have appeared during the last four years, and that is about all. I compiled it towards the end of a long indignant argument, carried on in the committee rooms of our literary societies, and in certain newspapers between a few writers of our new movement, who judged Irish literature by literary standards, and a number of people, a few of whom were writers, who judged it by its patriotism and by its political effect; and I hope my opinions may have value as part of an argument which may awaken again. The Young Ireland writers wrote to give the peasantry a literature in English in place of the literature they were losing with Gaelic, and these methods, which have shaped the literary thought of Ireland to our time, could not be the same as the methods of a movement which, so far as it is more than an instinctive expression of certain moods of the soul, endeavours to create a reading class among the more leisured classes, which will preoccupy itself with Ireland and the needs of Ireland.

    ACTA UNI VERSITATIS LODZIENSIS David Gilligan ONCE ALIEN HERE

    ACTA UNI VERSITATIS LODZIENSIS FOLIA LITTER ARIA ANGLICA 4, 2000 David Gilligan University of Łódź ONCE ALIEN HERE: THE POETRY OF JOHN HEWITT John Hewitt, who died in 1987 at the age of 80 years, has been described as the “elder statesman” of Ulster poetry. He began writing poetry in the 1920s but did not appear in book form until 1948; his final collection appearing in 1986. However, as Frank Ormsby points out in the 1991 edition of Poets From The North of Ireland, recognition for Hewitt came late in life and he enjoyed more homage and attention in his final years than for most of his creative life. In that respect he is not unlike Poland’s latest Nobel Prize winner in literature. His status was further recognized by the founding of the John Hewitt International Summer School in 1988. It is somewhat strange that such a prominent and central figure in Northern Irish poetry should at the same time be characterised in his verse as a resident alien, isolated and marginalised by the very society he sought to encapsulate and represent in verse. But then Northern Ireland/Ulster is and was a strange place for a poet to flourish within. In relation to the rest of the United Kingdom it was always something of a fossilised region which had more than its share of outdated thought patterns, language, social and political behaviour. Though ostensibly a parliamentary democracy it was a de-facto, one-party, statelet with its own semi-colonial institutions; every member of the executive of the ruling Unionist government was a member of a semi-secret masonic movement (The Orange Order) and amongst those most strongly opposed to the state there was a similar network of semi-secret societies (from the I.R.A.

    HELEN ALLINGHAM 21 NOVEMBER 2017 – 18 FEBRUARY 2018 WATTS GALLERY – ARTISTS’ VILLAGE This winter, Watts Gallery – Artists’ Village presents the UK’s first major public art gallery exhibition devoted to the artist Helen Allingham RWS (1848-1926). Allingham is one of the most familiar and well-loved of Victorian artists – in 1890 she became the first woman to be admitted to full membership of the Royal Watercolour Society and her work was highly acclaimed by leading contemporary critics, including John Ruskin. Despite this success there have been few exhibitions dedicated to her work. This exhibition will seek to reassert the reputation of Helen Allingham as a leading woman artist and as a key figure in Victorian art. Bringing together rarely seen works from private collections together with important paintings from public collections, the exhibition will demonstrate Allingham’s extraordinary talent as a watercolourist and will examine how she became one of the most successful creative women of the nineteenth century. Having moved to London aged just seventeen, Allingham trained at the Royal Female School of Art and the prestigious Royal Academy Schools. By 1870, she was pursuing a professional career as a graphic artist and children’s book illustrator, becoming the only female founding member of The Graphic, a new illustrated weekly magazine. Illuminating Allingham’s early career the exhibition will display an array of graphic works, including the illustrations to Thomas Hardy’s Far From the Madding Crowd when first published as a serial in the Cornhill Magazine. Following her marriage to the renowned Irish poet William Allingham in 1874, Allingham began to focus on working in watercolour producing vivid depictions of rural England.
