  • “The China of Santa Cruz”: the Culture of Tea in Maria Graham's
    “The China of Santa Cruz”: The Culture of Tea in Maria Graham’s Journal of a Voyage to Brazil (Article) NICOLLE JORDAN University of Southern Mississippi he notion of Brazilian tea may sound like something of an anomaly—or impossibility—given the predominance of Brazilian coffee in our cultural T imagination. We may be surprised, then, to learn that King João VI of Portugal and Brazil (1767–1826) pursued a project for the importation, acclimatization, and planting of tea from China in his royal botanic garden in Rio de Janeiro. A curious episode in the annals of colonial botany, the cultivation of a tea plantation in Rio has a short but significant history, especially when read through the lens of Maria Graham’s Journal of a Voyage to Brazil (1824). Graham’s descriptions of the tea garden in this text are brief, but they amplify her thorough-going enthusiasm for the biodiversity and botanical innovation she encountered— and contributed to—in South America. Such enthusiasm for the imperial tea garden echoes Graham’s support for Brazilian independence, and indeed, bolsters it. In 1821 Graham came to Brazil aboard HMS Doris, captained by her husband Thomas, who was charged with protecting Britain’s considerable mercantile interests in the region. As a British naval captain’s wife, she was obliged to uphold Britain’s official policy of strict neutrality. Despite these circumstances, her Journal conveys a pro-independence stance that is legible in her frequent rhapsodies over Brazil’s stunning flora and fauna. By situating Rio’s tea plantation within the global context of imperial botany, we may appreciate Graham’s testimony to a practice of transnational plant exchange that effectively makes her an agent of empire even in a locale where Britain had no territorial aspirations.

Our founders in 1768 comprised some of the greatest figures of the British Enlightenment, King George III, Reynolds, West and Chambers, supported and advised by a wider circle of thinkers and intellectuals such as Edmund Burke and Samuel Johnson.

  • The Botanical Writings of Maria Graham”: 44-58
    Journal of Literature and Science Volume 4, No. 1 (2011) ISSN 1754-646X Betty Hagglund, “The Botanical Writings of Maria Graham”: 44-58 The Botanical Writings of Maria Graham Betty Hagglund Botany was a popular and fashionable pursuit for both men and women during the period between 1760 and 1830, its popularity demonstrated by its appearance in magazines, novels and poems, the increasing availability of books aimed at a general readership, the publication of botanical games and playing cards, manuals of instruction in flower-drawing and the existence of substantial audiences for public lectures. Women moved into botanical culture in growing numbers at the beginning of the nineteenth century and botany became increasingly seen as suitable for female study. 1 The early nineteenth-century traveller and author, Maria Graham (1785-1842) came of age during this period of growing interest in botany and it continued to be a central interest throughout her lifetime, forming a significant element within her writing and shaping her activity when travelling. Her involvement in plant collecting and her active participation in the international network of collectors organised by William Jackson Hooker, Professor of Botany at Glasgow University and later Director of Kew Gardens, shed light on the participation of women in scientific activity during the first few decades of the nineteenth century. I demonstrate for example, that Graham is important in challenging misconceptions about women’s ‘botanising’ being confined to their local area. Whilst this is true for the majority, especially in the eighteenth century, there were exceptions, and a few British women, mostly (although not exclusively) colonial and diplomatic wives, whose particular circumstances enabled them to travel further afield, botanised as part of the imperial project in the early nineteenth century.

  • The Social and Cultural Value of the Apple and the Orchard in Victorian England
    The social and cultural value of the apple and the orchard in Victorian England Joanna Crosby A thesis submitted for the degree of Ph.D. Department of History University of Essex Date of submission with corrections – January 2021 (Total word count: 79,840) Joanna Crosby January 2021 Abstract This thesis argues that the apple and the orchard were of greater significance to the Victorians than has been previously realised. This thesis brings together an investigation into the economic value of the apple crop and its associated goods and services, with an exploration of how the apple and the orchard were represented and received in cultural and social constructs. This thesis argues that the economic worth of the apple was greater than the commodity value of the raw crop of apples. That value itself has been underestimated due to the difficulties of calculating the amount of land used for orchards and the profit obtainable. The apple had a wider economic value, helping to expand the sectors of commercial horticulture, domestic gardening and food. Representations of the apple and of orchards drew on Classical landscapes, Christian allegory or the pre-Christian cultures in Europe to give authority to the meanings of an apple placed in a painting. These associations were brought together in the writing about, and the actual performance of, wassailing in the orchards at Christmas. The conclusions state that the economic value of the apple was greater than had been previously thought, and that the network of apple-related trades and livelihoods was extensive. The conclusions from the social and cultural investigation were that the appreciation of the apple was at its height in Victorian England, when the Victorians responded to increasing industrialisation and urban growth by using the apple symbolically to represent values of ‘Englishness’ through an idealised rural past.

  • 1 Earthquake Ecologists I
    Earthquake ecologists I – James Graham Cooper James Graham Cooper roamed Washington Territory as a young naturalist shortly before the Civil War. Near Astoria he observed the remains of trees that are important today as clues to earthquake hazards. Cooper came here from New York in 1853. He had sought and gained a position as surgeon and naturalist with the Issac Stevens railroad survey. His survey party was commanded by George McClellan and was provisioned at Fort Vancouver by Ulysses Grant. The Smithsonian Institution provided support for follow-up work, which centered on collecting museum specimens at Willapa (then Shoalwater) Bay. The remains of drowned trees caught Cooper’s eye in 1854 and 1855. His journal tells of spruce stumps in growth position in the banks of a tidal creek near Chinook. His railroad report, extolling western red cedar as a source of durable shingles, describes dead trunks of “this species only” standing in Willapa Bay tidal marshes. Cooper reasoned that these standing trees had died when tides overflowed sinking land. Today is has become clear that this sinking takes place during earthquakes, when a leading edge of North America lurches tens of feet toward Asia. The shift stretches solid rock, which thins like a pulled rubber band. The thinning lowers coastal land several feet. Tides overflow the freshly sunken land, killing thousands of trees. Sudden changes in land level routinely accompany certain kinds of earthquakes. Examples from Alaska and Chile will be recounted in two subsequent Nature Notes. SOURCES A biography of James Graham Cooper (1830–1902) includes a timeline of his career and a comprehensive list of his published and unpublished works1.

À travers une sélection de près de 60 œuvres, dont la plupart sont présentées pour la première fois en Suisse, le projet illustre la richesse et la fascinante originalité de l’art anglais au XIXe siècle. Les profonds bouleversements induits par la révolution industrielle inspirent des scènes de genre saisissantes qui montrent les diverses facettes de la vie moderne durant l’âge d’or de l’Empire britannique : l’essor des villes et des transports en commun, la naissance de la classe moyenne, le travail à domicile. En contrepoint, de nombreux artistes se tournent vers la peinture de paysage, alors que d’autres embrassent des thèmes historiques ou littéraires pour affirmer leur idéal de beauté.
