Robert Bage on Poverty, Slavery and Women A RADICAL NOVELIST IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLAND: ROBERT BAGE ON POVERTY, SLAVERY AND WOMEN Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF LETTERS by JOHN CHRISTOPHER GOSS Department of Language and Literature School of Humanities The University of Birmingham April 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The main purpose of this thesis is to examine the progression of Robert Bage‘s development as a novelist by looking at his main campaigns for social reform through literary undertakings, namely: to improve the social standing of the impoverished, to work towards the emancipation of slaves, to reform the educational system for women. Little has been previously written about Bage‘s personal contribution to any of these campaigns and a good amount of new biographical research has been introduced to show how he put into practice the things in which he believed. Within this structure is an argument that historical events, at local, national and even international level, helped change his perspective on life and society at the same time as his approach to novel-writing changed. It has been noticed by all commentators who have discussed Bage‘s literary works that the last two novels outshine the first four. An attempt will be made to show how his literary direction altered; what changes actually took place, and what may have contributed to the changes. To achieve this and at the same time help introduce one of our more radical and accomplished eighteenth-century English authors to readers who may be unfamiliar with him and his novels, two chapters concentrate on his life giving factual and chronological accounts which contain significant new information about the author and correct a few errors from former biographies. Emphasis is given to the novel-writing years and the information included has been specifically chosen to support the main argument under discussion. The second of these biographical chapters 1 details the last decade of Bage‘s life and examines what effects the American Revolution, French Revolution, Birmingham Riots of 1791, other major historical incidents and Bage‘s personal affiliations may have had on his life and writings as they appear within the context of the three social concerns bulleted above. How his approach to these concerns took on a more mature guise is the subject of the literary-critical chapters which deal with poverty, slavery and women‘s advancement. Each of these topics, in its own way, shows just how important he considered a good educational system was to human progress. As far as my reading goes no authority has ever tried to assess the reasons why his reputation rests largely on the last two novels, which all consider to be his best. Likewise nobody has questioned whether this evolution was in any way influenced by external events and a change in his personal ideas and beliefs. That is the purpose of this thesis. 2 CONTENTS ABSTRACT .................................................................................................. 1 CONTENTS .................................................................................................. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ........................................................................... 4 TIMELINE ................................................................................................... 5 ABBREVIATIONS ...................................................................................... 8 INTRODUCTION ...................................................................................... 10 CHAPTER 1 BEFORE THE BIRMINGHAM RIOTS ................... 27 CHAPTER 2 THE LAST DECADE................................................... 48 CHAPTER 3 RICH AND POOR ........................................................ 68 CHAPTER 4 SLAVERY AND FREEDOM ...................................... 98 CHAPTER 5 BAGE AND WOMEN ................................................ 127 CONCLUSION ......................................................................................... 158 APPENDIX A ENGLISH EDITIONS .............................................. 164 APPENDIX B TRANSLATIONS ...................................................... 168 BIBLIOGRAPHY .................................................................................... 174 INDEX ....................................................................................................... 180 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis was researched and written whilst the author was engaged in full-time work. I thank my supervisors, Dr Sebastian Mitchell (Literature) and Dr Malcolm Dick (Midlands History) for their guidance and continued support over a long period. I am also indebted to archivists and staff at record offices throughout the Midlands ― too many to mention individually without offending those omitted ― especially to the staff at Birmingham Archives and Heritage, Stafford, Shrewsbury, Derby and Matlock for the preservation and production of documents which have made possible much of the historical content of this research. I also express my thanks to special collections departments for providing me with photocopies of original documents thus saving me the need for a visit. These are: The National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh, The Bodleian Library, Oxford and The National Library of Ireland, Dublin. My thanks also go too to The Bodleian Library staff, again, for accommodating me at short notice and finding for me Bage‘s letter to Godwin when the Abinger Collection was being re-catalogued. I must also mention the kindness of Pamela Perkins who, when I was unable to find a holding repository, sent me an offprint of an article she had written about literary representations of the Lunar Society. Likewise my sincere thanks go to Olga Baird who on a visit to Petersburg obtained photocopies of Karamzin‘s Russian translation of an extract from Man as He Is. German antiquarian Uwe Turzynski discovered a German edition of James Wallace and shared this information with me. I am much obliged to Mr Hodgetts, an Elford farmer, who went out of his way to point out the location of the gravestone of Bage‘s youngest son, John, which I might otherwise not have found. Particular thanks go to my wife, Basia, who has supported me when there have been demands on my attention which I may have neglected in pursuing these and other personal endeavours. 4 TIMELINE 03/1730 The date Robert Bage gives for his birthday. 05/1733 Elizabeth Woolley baptised at Wychnor. 1746-7 A series of deaths leaves Robert in charge of Darley Abbey Paper Mill, Derby. 12/11/1749 Elizabeth's father, Paul Woolley of Wychnor buried at Barton-Under-Needwood. 1749-1758 Elizabeth (Mrs Woolley senior) takes responsibility for the Swan Inn and farm at Wychnor. 08/1751 Robert Bage marries Elizabeth Woolley.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Brief Description of item(s) • What is it? A painting by Joseph Wright of Derby representing two boys in fancy dress and illuminated by candlelight, one of the boys is blowing a bladder as the other watches. • What is it made of? Oil paint on canvas • What are its measurements? 927 x 730 mm • Who is the artist/maker and what are their dates? Joseph Wright of Derby (1734-1797) • What date is the item? Probably 1768-70 • What condition is it in? Based upon a viewing of the work by the advisors and conservators, the face and costumes of the two boys are in good condition. However, dark paint throughout the background exhibits widespread retouched drying cracking and there are additional areas of clumsy reconstruction indicating underlying paint losses. 2. Context • Provenance In private ownership by the 1890s; thence by descent The early ownership of the picture, prior to the 1890s, is speculative and requires further investigation. The applicant has suggested one possible line of provenance, as detailed below. It has been mooted that this may be the painting referred to under a list of sold candlelight pictures in Wright’s account book as ‘Boys with a Bladder and its Companion to Ld.

  • Joseph Wright
    Made in Derby 2018 Profile Joseph Wright Derby’s most celebrated artist is known the world over. Derby Museums is home to the world’s largest collection of works by the 18th century artist. Joseph Wright of Derby is acknowledged officially as an “English landscape and portrait painter”. But his fame lies in being acclaimed as "the first professional painter to express the spirit of the Industrial Revolution", by experts. Candlelight, the contrast of light and dark, known as the chiaroscuro effect, and the birth of science out of the previously held beliefs of alchemy all feature in his works. The inspiration for Wright’s work owes much to meetings of the Lunar Society, a group of scientists and industrialists living in the Midlands, which sought to reconcile science and religion during the Age of Enlightenment. Wright was born in Iron Gate – where a commemorative obelisk now stands –in 1734, the son of Derby’s town clerk John Wright. He headed to London in 1751 to study to become a painter under Thomas Hudson but returned in 1753 to Derby. Wright went back to London again for a further period of training before returning to set up his own business in 1757. He married, had six children – one of whom died in infancy, son John, died aged 17 but the others survived to live full lives. In 1773, he took a trip to Italy for almost two years and this became the inspiration for some of his work featuring Mount Vesuvius. Stopping off to work for a while in Bath as a portrait painter, he finally returned to Derby in 1777, where he remained until his death at 28 Queen Street in 1797.

  • The Granary Fisherwick Road | Lichfield | Staffordshire
    The Granary Fisherwick Road | Lichfield | Staffordshire THE GRANARY Stunning barn conversion of nearly 4,000ft2, steeped with history and amazing features, hidden in a private development of six country homes down a three quarter mile private driveway. The property has four bedrooms and five reception rooms including a very impressive drawing room with full height ceilings and gallery landing. Step Inside The Granary Converted in 1990 and said to be the tallest remaining barn in Staffordshire, the height of this Grade ll listed property offers a sense of grandeur as one enters the full height drawing room with flagstone floors and welcoming inglenook fireplace. A gated driveway leads to the integral double garage with the property enjoying two small garden areas, the former is perfect for entertaining with pergola and lantern lighted barbeque area. The latter is an easily maintained lawn area. The original barn was built in 1360 and unfortunately burnt down but it was rebuilt in 1540 and we still retain some of the original wall. There are Tudor roses imprinted into the beams and these little details add to the sense of times gone by, it really does feel like an old barn with an immense history. A spiral staircase leads from the family room up to a galleried upper floor office / snug. The galleried landing offers an additional area to relax and provides access to the show stopping dining room with vaulted beam ceiling overlooking the drawing room. A great gym/dance studio on the ground floor with window was originally part of the garage block and could be converted to a number of uses.

To do this, effectually a register ought to be complete in all its parts, from the first clay the school opened its doors ; and it is evident that such a work could only be the result of a continuous purpose, coeval with the school itself. Unfortunately that task has been deferred from century to century, and has become harder in proportion to its long post- ponement. But is this a. reason why it should not at length be attempted? As the usefulness, or, to speak more correctly, the necessity of such an undertaking has in these latter times become more and more apparent at Derby School, and as procrastination only makes matters worse, the editor decided some years ago to face the difficulty and see what could be done.

ABSTRACT The mechanical paintings of Matthew Boulton and Francis Eginton have been the subject of few scholarly publications since their invention in the 1770s. Such interest as there has been has focussed on the unknown process, and the lack of scientific material analysis has resulted in several confusing theories of production. This thesis’s use of the Archives of Soho, containing Boulton’s business papers, has cast light on the production and consumption of mechanical paintings, while collaboration with the British Museum, and their new scientific evidence, have both supported and challenged the archival evidence. This thesis seeks to prove various propositions about authenticity, the role of class and taste in the selection of artists and subjects for mechanical painting reproduction, and the role played by the reproductive process’s ingenuity in marketing the finished product.

  • The Shropshire Enlightenment: a Regional Study of Intellectual Activity in the Late Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries
    The Shropshire Enlightenment: a regional study of intellectual activity in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by Roger Neil Bruton A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham January 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The focus of this study is centred upon intellectual activity in the period from 1750 to c1840 in Shropshire, an area that for a time was synonymous with change and innovation. It examines the importance of personal development and the influence of intellectual communities and networks in the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge. It adds to understanding of how individuals and communities reflected Enlightenment aspirations or carried the mantle of ‘improvement’ and thereby contributes to the debate on the establishment of regional Enlightenment. The acquisition of philosophical knowledge merged into the cultural ethos of the period and its utilitarian characteristics were to influence the onset of Industrial Revolution but Shropshire was essentially a rural location. The thesis examines how those progressive tendencies manifested themselves in that local setting.

Accordingly as a Parish Council and relevant body for the purposes of section 61G of the 1990 Act we enclose a map identifying the Parish of Wigginton and Hopwas which we believe is an area appropriate to be designated a Neighbourhood Area. The Parish of Wigginton and Hopwas is predominately rural, comprising the villages of Hopwas and Wigginton, the hamlet of Comberford, and several farms and outlying properties. It is bordered on the south by the town of Tamworth, which is used for services by many residents. The Parish Council believes that the development of a Neighbourhood Plan through consultation with residents is appropriate for providing for the needs of the communities which it serves.
