  • The Order of Authors: Degrees of 'Popularity' and 'Fame' in John Clare's Writing
    The Order of Authors: Degrees of ‘Popularity’ and ‘Fame’ in John Clare’s Writing ADAM WHITE Abstract: This essay analyses Clare’s essay ‘Popularity in Authorship’, arguing that the work can be seen as a central statement in Clare’s recurrent concern with poetic fame and authorial reputation. By connecting ‘Popularity in Authorship’ with Clare’s sonnets on his Romantic contemporaries (Robert Bloomfield and Lord Byron), the essay contends that Clare’s complex understanding of ‘popular’ and ‘common’ notions of fame helps to bring into focus a distinctive contribution to debates about how authors were received by different audiences in the period. Contributor: Adam White currently teaches in English and American Studies at the University of Manchester, where he obtained his PhD. He has published a number of essays on Romantic poetry, most recently on Robert Burns and John Clare. In 2012 his essay on Leigh Hunt, John Keats, John Hamilton Reynolds, and John Clare was awarded second prize in the Keats-Shelley Memorial Association competition. For The Literary Encyclopedia he has written entries on Lord Byron, John Keats, the Brontë sisters, Charles Dickens, and Thomas Hardy. In a letter of 29 August 1828 to Thomas Pringle,1 John Clare states that ‘I would sooner be the Author of Tam o shanter then of the Iliad & Odyssey of Homer’ (Storey 437).2 It is intriguing that Clare should voice a bold preference for being the author of ‘Tam o’ Shanter’ given that earlier in his career he had in fact been called ‘a second [Robert] Burns’ (Storey 105) after the instant success of his first volume, Poems Descriptive of Rural Life and Scenery (1820).

  • Robert Bloomfield: the Inestimable Blessing of Letters - Praxis Series - Romantic Circl
    Denney - The Talk of the Tap-Room: Bloomfield, Politics, and Popular Culture - Robert Bloomfield: The Inestimable Blessing of Letters - Praxis Series - Romantic Circl... Robert Bloomfield: The Inestimable Blessing of Letters "The Talk of the Tap-Room: Bloomfield, Politics, and Popular Culture" Peter Denney Griffith University article abstract | about the author | search volume [print full essay] 1. The tendency to associate the value of a particular literary work with the personal probity of its author had characterized the polite reception of laboring-class poetry ever since Oxford professor Joseph Spence wrote his influential account of Stephen Duck in the early eighteenth century. Emphasizing his industriousness, contentment, and piety, Spence praised the way that Duck displayed “so many Merits, and so much Humility join’d together,” evincing, for example, a preference for the religious and moral writings of Addison rather than the low burlesques of street literature (27). From Stephen Duck to John Clare, the laboring-class poet was expected by the polite to conform to a model of exemplary private virtue, diligent, dutiful, and suitably distanced from what were perceived to be the vulgar elements of collective plebeian life. [1] But this image acquired a new urgency with the growth of popular radicalism in the late eighteenth century, and especially amidst the counter-revolutionary climate that witnessed, with the publication of The Farmer’s Boy in 1800, the transformation of Robert Bloomfield from anonymous shoemaker to literary celebrity. 2. Indeed, shortly after Bloomfield’s death in 1823, the editor of his Remains, his friend Joseph Weston, sought to establish the poet’s posthumous reputation by commending not only the excellence of his verse, but also the spotlessness of his character.

  • Robert Southey Difusor De La Obra De Kirke White: “Clifton Grove”
    ISSN: 1579-9794 Robert Southey difusor de la obra de Kirke White: “Clifton Grove” ÁNGELES GARCÍA CALDERÓN Universidad de Córdoba Fecha de recepción: 11 de febrero de 2009 Fecha de aceptación: 15 de abril de 2009 Resumen: Trabajo que se ocupa de la figura del escritor inglés Henry Kirke White, conocido por los lectores gracias al esfuerzo de uno de los tres poetas ‗lakistas‘, Robert Southey. Tras una breve referencia a la utópica comunidad que quisieron poner en marcha Coleridge y Southey, basada en el pensamiento de William Godwin y su obra An Enquiry Concerning Political justice (1793), unas breves líneas sobre Southey dan paso a uno de los casos más llamativos de precocidad en poesía, comparable en muchos aspectos a otros poetas famosos a pesar de su pronta desaparición (Thomas Chatterton, Arthur Rimbaud, Émile Nelligan, etc.). Se traduce del autor, por vez primera en castellano, uno de sus poemas más notables: ―Clifton Grove: A Sketch in Verse‖. Palabras clave: Pantisocracia, William Godwin, Kirke White, Traducción poética. Abstract: In this article I attempt to approach the figure of the English writer Henry Kirke White, well known to the readers thanks to the pursues of one the three lakist poets, namely Robert Southey. After a brief reference to the utopian community promoted by Coleridge and Southey, and based on the thought of William Godwin and his work An Enquiry Concerning Political justice (1793), I draw some brief comments on Southey followed by one of the most striking cases of precocity in poetry, parallel in many aspects to others famous poets in spite of his early death (Thomas Chatterton, Arthur Rimbaud, Émile Nelligan, etc.).

  • Oriental Diction and Theme in English Verse, 1740-1840
    BULLETIN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS HUMANISTIC STUDIES Vol. 2 May 1, 1916 No. 1 ORIENTAL DICTION AND THEME IN ENGLISH VERSE, 1740-1840 BY EDNA OSBORNE, A. M. Fellow-elect in English, The University of Kansas LAWRENCE, MAY, 1916 PUBLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY PREFACE The writer's interest in Orientalism in English literature began at the University of Illinois in 1911, when Professor H. G. Paul, in a lecture on the Romantic poets, emphasized Byron's Oriental coloring and suggested that its study would make a good thesis. A little later this interest took form in a master's thesis on The Orientalism of Byron, which was accepted by the English Depart• ment of the University of Kansas in 1914. This preliminary study opened up a field which seemed boundless, and which offered very attractive appeals to the student of foreign influences on English literature. One does not need to be acquainted with Oriental languages or Oriental literature to trace with some profit the effects of Oriental interests on English verse and prose. It has been impossible to examine all the English verse from 1740 to 1840; but the chief poets have been reviewed with a good deal of care, and many of the minor ones. The Oriental drama offers a field by itself, and only a few dramas have been included in the present survey. It is hoped that all the main characteristics of Oriental diction and theme in the period have been recognized and given some attention in this paper. There has been no effort at a microscopic examina• tion, at inclusion of every possible poet, passage, or term.

  • Robert Bloomfield the Farmer's
    1 The Farmer’s Boy By Robert Bloomfield, introduced and edited by Peter Cochran Robert Bloomfield’s The Farmer’s Boy was the poem most frequently printed in the “romantic” period. William St Clair credits it with having sold over 100,000 copies between 1800 and 1826. 1 Crabbe, Bloomfield’s rival Suffolk poet, enjoyed much smaller sales. 2 Joseph Weston, the editor of Bloomfield’s Remains (1824) writes, … I have been informed by persons who travel into every quarter of the country, that almost the only books they are frequently able to find, are the Bible and the poems of Bloomfield. 3 Bloomfield was born at Honington, south-east of Thetford in Suffolk, on December 3rd 1766. Bloomfield’s birthplace, Honington A distant cousin, called Blomfield, was Bishop of London. His father died of smallpox when he was a year old, and he was taught to read and write by his mother. He had five siblings, and when he was seven his mother married again, and had another family. At the age of eleven he was sent to his mother’s brother-in-law at the nearby village of Sapiston. He is said to have been too small to be helpful at farmwork (though there is no agreement about his height); 4 and so he was sent to two of his brothers in London to train as a shoemaker. There he ran errands and read the newspapers aloud. I am grateful to the Carl H. Pforzheimer Foundation and to the Keats-Shelley Association of America for the grant which facilitated the research which led to the enlargement and improvement both of this essay, and of my edition of The Farmer’s Boy .
