  • Hawksmoor's Churches: Myth and Architecture in the Works of Iain Sinclair and Peter Ackroyd
    Wenshan Review of Literature and Culture．Vol 5.2．June 2012．1-23. Hawksmoor's Churches: Myth and Architecture in the Works of Iain Sinclair and Peter Ackroyd Eva Yin-I Chen ABSTRACT The works of contemporary British writers Iain Sinclair and Peter Ackroyd demonstrate an intense preoccupation with the spatial symbols and ruins of London’s East End, which to them stand not just for the broken pieces of a vanishing past but also as symptoms of an underlying force of mythological and cultural significance, a force that collapses contemporary ideology and resists consecutive attempts at control and order. Of these, the Hawksmoor churches built by the architect Nickolas Hawksmoor after the 1666 London fire, some already demolished and others standing dark and brooding with looming spires and shadowy recesses, take on a particular preeminence. Both writers view the churches as forming an invisible geometry of lines of power in the cartography of the city, calling forth occult energies that point to the deeper, though half-erased and repressed truth of London. Sinclair’s early poetry collection Lud Heat first toys with this idea, and Ackroyd’s bestselling novel Hawksmoor popularizes it and enables it to reach a wider public. This paper investigates the spatial and mythological symbolism of the Hawksmoor churches as reflected in the works of the two writers, arguing that this recurrent spatial motif holds the key to understanding an important strand of contemporary British literature where architecture, textuality and London’s haunting past loom

  • 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.

  • 8. Festival Guide
    8. Festival Guide Dr Harriet Atkinson is a leading historian of design and culture based at the University of Brighton. She is one of the foremost experts on the Festival of Britain. In this response she brings her extraordinary knowledge of this event to bear on a commonplace piece of Festival ephemera. In doing so she reveals powerful themes of patriotism, land, refugees, and a whole series of intersections between design and identity that feel as relevant today as they did seven decades ago. Ian Cox, The South Bank Exhibition: A Guide to the Story It Tells (London: HMSO, 1951) As memories of a day out at the Festival of Britain’s South Bank Exhibition faded, the guidebook was often the only thing that remained. A substantial, handsome book printed on luxuriously thick paper, it bore designer Abram Games’s Festival of Britain emblem, Britannia in profile, on the front cover. She was festooned with bunting and mounted on the four points of the compass indicating the nationwide reach of the events, all in the patriotic colours of the Union Jack. Cover of the Exhibition Guide featuring the Abram Games festival logo (MERL Library 1770-COX) What was this ‘magical city’, as one designer described the Festival’s London centrepiece, the South Bank Exhibition held from May to September 1951, this temporary world that so enchanted and amazed its visitors? And what kind of Britain do we encounter as we turn the Guide’s mustard cover seventy years on? 1 While advertising was banned at the South Bank Exhibition itself, here, in the Guide, was the chance to sell things to the Festival’s many visitors.

  • Jacquetta Hawkes, a Land (London: Cresset Press, 1951)
    13. A Land In this piece, the brilliant Dr Amara Thornton shares her reflections on the 1951 work of trowel blazer Jacquetta Hawkes, who played a major role in presenting prehistory and landscape at the Festival of Britain. In doing so, Amara recontextualises an archaeological narrative—A Land—and reveals it as part of a Britain actively reshaped by post-war change. Jacquetta Hawkes, A Land (London: Cresset Press, 1951) Frontispiece and title page of Hawkes’ A Land, featuring a sketch by Henry Moore (MERL Library 1840-HAW) Jacquetta Hawkes’ Festival Lands Published a month after the opening of the Festival of Britain, Jacquetta Hawkes' book A Land (1951) has been said to compliment her work as "Theme Convenor" for the Festival's People of Britain pavilion. Her exploration of British archaeology and geography was writ large through the physical display, the introductory section to the Festival's "Downstream Circuit". This part of the Festival defined 'Britain' through the artefacts in its landscape, its attitudes, literature, society, culture, sport, and technological innovations. Hawkes' book, and her pavilion, were focused on the deep history of the British Isles, emerging from the landscape through the painstaking process of excavation and interpretation. She is now primarily remembered for her engagement with and ruminations on Britain and its archaeology. This included a BBC Radio series in 1935 entitled "Ancient Britain Out of Doors", subsequently published in The Listener, and her books Prehistoric Britain (1943, co-authored with husband Christopher Hawkes) and Early Britain (1945) before the publication of A Land (followed later in 1951 by her Guide to the Prehistoric Monuments of England and Wales).

  • YALE in LONDON – SUMMER 2013 British Studies 189 Churches: Christopher Wren to Basil Spence
    YALE IN LONDON – SUMMER 2013 British Studies 189 Churches: Christopher Wren to Basil Spence THE CHURCHES OF LONDON: ARCHITECTURAL IMAGINATION AND ECCLESIASTICAL FORM Karla Britton Yale School of Architecture Email: [email protected] Class Time: Tuesday, Thursday 10-12:15 or as scheduled, Paul Mellon Center, or in situ Office Hours: By Appointment Yale-in-London Program, June 10-July 19, 2013 Course Description The historical trajectories of British architecture may be seen as inseparable from the evolution of London’s churches. From the grand visions of Wren through the surprising forms of Hawksmoor, Gibbs, Soane, Lutyens, Scott, Nash, and others, the ingenuity of these buildings, combined with their responsiveness to their urban environment, continue to intrigue architects today. Examining the ecclesiastical architecture of London beginning with Christopher Wren, this course critically addresses how prominent British architects sought to communicate the mythical and transcendent through structure and material, while also taking into account the nature of the site, a vision of the concept of the city, the church building’s relationship to social reform, ethics, and aesthetics. The course also examines how church architecture shaped British architectural thought in the work of historians such as Pevsner, Summerson, Rykwert, and Banham. The class will include numerous visits in situ in London, as well as trips to Canterbury, Liverpool, and Coventry. Taking full advantage of the sites of London, this seminar will address the significance of London churches for recent architects, urbanists, and scholars. ______________________________________________________________________________________ CLASS REQUIREMENTS Deliverables: Weekly reflection papers on the material covered in class and site visits. Full participation and discussion is required in classroom and on field trips.
