  • Club Life of London by John Timbs
    Club Life of London by John Timbs ORIGIN OF CLUBS. The Club, in the general acceptation of the term, may be regarded as one of the earliest offshoots of Man's habitually gregarious and social inclination; and as an instance of that remarkable influence which, in an early stage of society, the powers of Nature exercise over the fortunes of mankind. It may not be traceable to the time "When Adam dolve, and Eve span;" but, it is natural to imagine that concurrent with the force of numbers must have increased the tendency of men to associate for some common object. This may have been the enjoyment of the staple of life; for, our elegant Essayist, writing with ages of experience at his beck, has truly said, "all celebrated Clubs were founded upon eating and drinking, which are points where most men agree, and in which the learned and the illiterate, the dull and the airy, the philosopher and the buffoon, can all of them bear a part."2 For special proof of the antiquity of the practice it may suffice to refer to the polished Athenians, who had, besides their general symposia, friendly meetings, where every one sent his own portion of the feast, bore a proportionate part of the expense, or gave a pledge at a fixed price. A regard for clubbism existed even in Lycurgan Sparta: the public tables consisted generally of fifteen persons each, and all vacancies were filled up by ballot, in which unanimous consent was indispensable for election; and the other laws, as described by Plutarch, differ but slightly from those of modern Clubs.

    Character Breakdown BOSWELL’S DREAMS By Marie Kohler 7-9 actors (5-6M, 2-3W). Diversity welcome The play calls for an ensemble of actors playing multiple roles.

  • A Gazetteer by Donald Greene Late of the University of Southern California
    Newsletter_41.3 EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUDIES Vol. 41, No. 3 Winter 2011 Evelyn Waugh’s Central London: A Gazetteer by Donald Greene Late of the University of Southern California "I believe the parallelogram between Oxford Street, Piccadilly, Regent Street, and Hyde Park encloses more intelligence and human ability, to say nothing of wealth and beauty, than the world has ever collected in such a space before." So said Sydney Smith, whose exuberant wit matched Waugh’s, and who, like Waugh, was domiciled during the later years of his life in the village of Combe Florey, Somersetshire, where he was the rector. Both were ambivalent about the delights of country living, and seized many opportunities of fleeing from it to London. Waugh, like Frank Churchill in Jane Austen’s Emma, used to travel there regularly to have his hair cut, at Trumper’s in Curzon Street. Smith had a better excuse: as a canon of St Paul’s Cathedral, he had to spend a certain amount of the year in residence there. Smith’s parallelogram (Mayfair) is of course only a tiny section of “Greater London.” Waugh’s London also includes outlying areas such as Mortlake, where Virginia Troy and Uncle Peregrine were buried, and East Finchley, site of Lord Copper’s frightful mansion. The ancient “City of London,” founded in Roman times, lies to the east of Mayfair. The City of Westminster began much later, in the eleventh century, when King Edward the Confessor decided to build, on the marshy bank of the Thames, the abbey called the “west minster” (the “east minster” being St Paul’s in the old City, still the cathedral of the diocese of London).

Drinking and Toasting in Georgian Britain: Group Identities and Individual Agency Rémy Duthille The connection between food and identity in eighteenth-century England is well established with the avatars of John Bull, the well-fed Englishman so different from the starving, frog- eating French (B. Rogers). This patriotic self-identification was given ritual form in clubs, one of the archetypical forms of sociability in Britain in the period; it expressed itself in the arts, in painting and engraving. A famous example showing the interconnectedness of these developments is William Hogarth, who immortalized Roast Beef as an emblem of Old England in The Gate of Calais or O, the Roast Beef of Old England (painted in 1748, engraved the next year) and who was a founding member of the “Beefsteak Club.” The “Sublime Society of Beefsteaks,” to give the club its full name, consisted of artists, publicans and others, who met in Covent Garden from 1735 around theatrical impresario John Rich (Stephens).

Résumé : Le toast était un rituel omniprésent dans la société britannique du long dix-huitième siècle. Il servait à cimenter les identités collectives et les allégeances politico-religieuses. Le rituel jouait son rôle au prix d'une pression des pairs parfois pesante. Les règles portant sur le genre et l'exclusion des étaient strictes. L'individu (du moins les hommes des élites) cependant, gardait une part de liberté et jouait avec les contraintes, comme en témoignent des exemples choisis parmi les milieux conservateurs à partir de la Révolution française.

Put down that paper and join us.’ ‘So I will, my boy—so I will.’ ... ‘Any news to-night?’ ‘Oh, there’s the usual amount of politics; and these d—d agitators have got up another strike! But I saw one thing in the papers that pleased me not a little; Walters has become second in command of the 200th, so I suppose he is safe to get the regiment in another four years. He has deserved his promotion well, and will be as smart a colonel as ever sat in a saddle.’ ‘Ah! Walters? Wasn’t he a ranker? And haven’t I heard that he did very well in South Africa, and got the VC there?’ ‘He got a great deal more than the VC and his commission put together.
