  • The Battle of the Styles in Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure
    The Battle of the Styles in Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure: Perpendicular, God-seeking Gothicism vs. Horizontally-extended, Secular Classicism Ariyuki Kondo Thomas Hardy’s Architectural Career This paper intends to examine the ways in which the inner worlds of the characters in Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure are depicted through the use of metaphors to reveal the antagonism between Victorian Gothic Revivalism and Victorian Classicism: the Battle of the Styles which Hardy himself had witnessed in his younger days. When Hardy, the son of a stonemason and local builder, first became interested in architecture, ecclesiastical architecture was one of the major areas of work in the building profession. Hardy first became involved in this aspect of architecture in 1856, when he started working for a Dorset-based ecclesiological architect, John Hicks, who designed and restored churches mainly in the Gothic Revival style. In April 1862 Hardy, carrying two letters of recommendation, moved to London. One of these two letters was addressed to Benjamin Ferrey (Pl. 1) and the other to Arthur Blomfield (Pl. 2). Hardy first visited Ferrey. Ferrey had been a pupil of the late Augustus Charles Pugin and knew Pugin’s son, Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (Pl. 3) who died in 1852 at the age of 40, very well. Ferrey is mostly remembered today for his biography of the Pugins, published in 1861, not long before Hardy’s first visit to him. Ferrey must have been a very well-known architect to Hardy, for it was Ferrey who had designed the Town Hall in Dorchester.

  • Bradmore Conservation Area
    1 BRADMORE CONSERVATION AREA CONSERVATION AREA CHARACTER PROFILE CONSERVATION AREA No. 25 Draft Bradmore CACP August 2016 2 FORWARD The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham is fortunate to have 45 conservation areas covering almost half of the Borough. These have been designated in recognition of the importance of the historic and architectural heritage in our Borough. As Deputy for Transport and Technical Services, I am committed to the preservation of these areas with the help of residents and local groups, so that they continue to enhance the quality of life in the Borough and so that they survive as good examples of our heritage for future generations. This Character profile describes the special character of the Bradmore Conservation Area, identifying interesting historical facts, identifying notable structures, the special importance of its townscape value, and showing how buildings, open spaces and the public realm can work together to create an environment worthy of protection. I would like to thank all local groups and individuals who have helped to prepare this profile, in particular The Brackenbury Residents Association, namely Rosemary Pettit, Judi Shaw, and Richard Owens who gave invaluable time to the author; the Hammersmith and Fulham Historic Buildings Group, in particular Roger Warry. Thanks also to Rebecca Thomas, archivist at Godolphin and Latymer School for the loan of “A School of Dolphins” by Sally Holloway. Special thanks go to the late Dr Moya Tyson who generously allowed the author to use her painstaking research in her fascinating and illuminating History of Cardross Street and its surrounding parts of Hammersmith, yet to be published.

  • Church Crawling
    Church Crawling with Barbara Pym ‘Her books are indubitably “churchy”, partly in the sense that church-going frequently occurs and clergymen are among her best characters, and partly from the tacit and unproselytizing assumption that the world divides into those who do and those who do not attend their parish church. The ethos is always decently Anglican, but this too is taken for granted and no hint of doctrinal or emotional problems is intruded upon the reader. Religion, for Miss Pym’s characters, involves no anguish of conscience (“social” or personal), no dark night of the soul, but decisions about what vestments should be worn on Mid-Lent Sunday, what shall be served for luncheon on Fridays in the clergy-house, who is to query that enigmatic entry in the Church accounts, and “that rather delicate affair of the altar brasses and the unpleasantness between Miss Jenner and Miss Beard”. … Her treatment of religion suggests, in fact, a rather unusually strong, though reserved, religious sense. (Robert Smith, ‘How Pleasant to Know Miss Pym’, Ariel, Vol. 2 No. 4, October 1971, p. 66; quotation from Some Tame Gazelle) ‘Barbara was brought up and remained throughout her life a member of the Church of England, and to her all its churches were places of devotion and interest. When after War service and her mother’s death she came to live with her sister in London, and “already well into churchgoing” as her sister has written, she became a regular worshipper at St Gabriel’s Church, Warwick Square, Pimlico. … ‘About this time [ca.

  • A Study of Contrasts and Other Writings of A.W.N. Pugin in Relation to The
    A study of Contrasts and other writings of A~W.N. Pugin in relation to the medi~valist tradition in Victorian literature; together with a bibliography of publications by and about him A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of doctor of philosophy at the university of Canterbury Margaret Belcher 1987 ii ABSTRACT It. is the argument of this thesis that A.W.N. Pugin's Contrasts, issued in 1836, should be seen to stand at the head of the medicevalist tradition that came to form a dis- tinct element in Victorian literature. Pugin is not usually regarded as a literary figure and there is no intention here to make out that he is a great one: architecture and the decorative arts remain the fields in which he made and left his mark on the century. Nevertheless, his writings, Contrasts in particular, his most characteristic and influen­ tial book, on which this study concentrates, and to a less extent his other publications, are susceptible of a reading as rhetoric which sets them far apart from standard examples of contemporary architectural discourse and close to works of recognized literary status. They mediate a vision which is in essence an imaginative one that removes his work from the realm of history, architectural or ecclesiastical, to which readers of his time believed it to belong, and aligns it rather with other, later texts that likewise express an ideal of a social and spiritual kind. Departing from earlier fictional accounts of the Middle Ages too, Contrasts offers, as it interprets the ethos of a society from the buildings which mediceval man chose to erect, a picture, of considerable originality, of a way of life that is perfect in all its aspects.
