  • 1 in Search of Robert Lovell: Poet and Pantisocrat I. Introduction 'At The
    In Search of Robert Lovell: Poet and Pantisocrat I. Introduction ‘At the close of the year 1794, a clever young man, of the Society of Friends, of the name of Robert Lovell, who had married a Miss Fricker, informed me that a few friends of his from Oxford and Cambridge, with himself, were about to sail to America, and, on the banks of the Susquehannah, to form a Social Colony, in which there was to be a community of property, and where all that was selfish was to be proscribed.’1 Thus wrote Bristol publisher Joseph Cottle in his Reminiscences published in 1847. As any serious student of Romanticism knows, the most important of those ‘few friends’ mentioned by Cottle were Robert Southey and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who were then gathering support for a small-scale transatlantic emigration scheme founded on radical egalitarian or so-called ‘Pantisocratic’ principles. It is chiefly in connection with this utopian venture that the ‘clever young man’ described by Cottle has, until now, typically featured in Romantic criticism, very much in a supporting if not peripheral role. But how much do we know about Robert Lovell? What kind of person was he? Why did Southey, and subsequently Coleridge, embrace him enthusiastically on first acquaintance and later downgrade their estimate of his qualities? What was Lovell’s achievement as a poet, and what was his place in the early history of Romanticism in the South West? In this essay I attempt to answer these questions by re- examining established ‘facts’, gathering fresh evidence, and treating Lovell and his poetry as valid subjects in their own right rather than as a footnote to the budding careers of Coleridge and Southey.

  • ABSTRACT Genius, Heredity, and Family Dynamics. Samuel Taylor Coleridge and His Children: a Literary Biography Yolanda J. Gonz
    ABSTRACT Genius, Heredity, and Family Dynamics. Samuel Taylor Coleridge and his Children: A Literary Biography Yolanda J. Gonzalez, Ph.D. Chairperson: Stephen Prickett, Ph.D. The children of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Hartley, Derwent, and Sara, have received limited scholarly attention, though all were important nineteenth century figures. Lack of scholarly attention on them can be blamed on their father, who has so overshadowed his children that their value has been relegated to what they can reveal about him, the literary genius. Scholars who have studied the children for these purposes all assume familial ties justify their basic premise, that Coleridge can be understood by examining the children he raised. But in this case, the assumption is false; Coleridge had little interaction with his children overall, and the task of raising them was left to their mother, Sara, her sister Edith, and Edith’s husband, Robert Southey. While studies of S. T. C.’s children that seek to provide information about him are fruitless, more productive scholarly work can be done examining the lives and contributions of Hartley, Derwent, and Sara to their age. This dissertation is a starting point for reinvestigating Coleridge’s children and analyzes their life and work. Taken out from under the shadow of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, we find that Hartley was not doomed to be a “child of romanticism” as a result of his father’s experimental approach to his education; rather, he chose this persona for himself. Conversely, Derwent is the black sheep of the family and consciously chooses not to undertake the family profession, writing poetry.

  • Sometime Between the Autumn of 1834, When the Idea for Sara Coleridge’S Fairy Tale
    (Re-)Mapping the ‘native vale’: Sara Coleridge’s Phantasmion JOANNA E. TAYLOR Keywords: Sara Coleridge, cartography, Phantasmion, Lake District, landscape, fairy tale Sometime between the autumn of 1834, when the idea for Sara Coleridge’s fairy tale Phantasmion was conceived, and the summer of 1837, when it was published, Sara drew a rough sketch of the imaginary landscape in which her tale was set. The map is scarcely more than a line drawing; it contains little detail beyond some early ideas of place names and suggestions as to where the key topographical features might be located. From the earliest reviews, commentators were certain that the world of Phantasmion was simply ‘a glorification of the Lake Country’,1 or, more recently, ‘a kind of medieval Tuscany nestling into the Lake District’.2 Sara confirmed on several occasions that this ‘account of Fairy-land nature’ was based upon her memories of her ‘native vale, seen through a sunny mist of dreamery’.3 Because it was based on a landscape so familiar to readers of Wordsworth and STC, Sara’s ‘native vale’ seemed to confirm her status as ‘a Wordsworthian minor poet’.4 The map supports the text in indicating the extent to which Sara’s Fairyland was indebted to her memories of that ‘native vale’, but it does other things too: it demonstrates that Sara’s conception of this imaginary world was more complex than has hitherto been recognised. This essay will argue that the Fairyland of Phantasmion is not a simple repetition of established Lake District tropes, but a considered reconstruction of Sara’s topographical childhood memories.

Taylor Keele University June 2016 This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Literature. Abstract In recent years there has been a rapid growth in interest in the lives and writings of the children of major Romantic poets. Often, this work has suggested that the children felt themselves to be overshadowed by their forebears in ways which had problematic implications for their creative independence. In this thesis I explore the construction of writing spaces – physical, imaginary, textual and material – in the works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s (1772-1834) children and grandchildren: Hartley (1796-1849), Derwent (1800-1883), Sara (1802-1852), Derwent Moultrie (1828- 1880), Edith (1832-1911) and Ernest Hartley (1846-1920).

Abstract This thesis aims to establish Sara Coleridge’s place in literary history. Her authorial achievements have been obscured by two factors. First, she has been the subject of predominantly biographical, rather than literary attention. While this thesis does draw on specific biographical contexts, its approach is literary and critical throughout. Second, Coleridge’s mature writings are theological, and consist of polemical contributions to religious debate in the two decades following the Reform Act of 1832. In order to analyse the qualities of Coleridge’s mature authorship, this study undertakes the necessary historical and theological contextualization. Coleridge’s politico-religious setting requires innovatory authorial methods: she is, above all, a dialogic writer. The thesis examines her evolving dialogue with her ‘literary fathers’, and addresses the relationship between her editing of STC and her original writing. Bakhtinian theory informs the approach of this thesis to Coleridge’s textual analysis of STC and his sources. Gadamer’s hermeneutic concept of the ‘fusion’ of historical ‘horizons’ informs the study’s analysis of her appropriation of STC’s thought, which she reworks in addressing post-Reform fractures.

Letters from the “Gentlemen of the Press,” 1810-1845 David E. Latané Virginia Commonwealth University In John Wilson Croker: Irish Ideas and the Invention of Modern Conservatism, 1800-1835, Robert Portsmouth analyzes the way in which the newspaper press was manipulated via interlocking circles of journalists and politicians during the era of Reform. In addition to Croker, one of the important figures in the Tory press was his fellow Irishman William Maginn, and it was in the course of researching and writing William Maginn and the British Press: A Critical Biography (Ashgate, 2013) that I began collecting letters to and from members of the press. The letters presented here help reveal the shape of relationships that prevailed on Fleet Street at the cusp of the Victorian era. A quick note dashed off by legendary Times editor Thomas Barnes, for instance, to John Wilson Croker shows how careful Barnes was, even as his paper was supporting the Whigs, to avoid offense to a powerful Tory politician and Quarterly reviewer.

  • A Living Spectre of My Father Dead’: Hartley Coleridge, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Literary Representation
    From The Coleridge Bulletin The Journal of the Friends of Coleridge New Series 33 (NS) Summer 2009 © 2009 Contributor all rights reserved http://www.friendsofcoleridge.com/Coleridge-Bulletin.htm ‘A living spectre of my Father dead’: Hartley Coleridge, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Literary Representation Nicola Healey ____________________________________________________________________________________________ OST ACCOUNTS of the relationship between Hartley Coleridge and M his famous father, suggest that Hartley was unable to achieve a strong poetic identity because of STC’s overbearing shadow. At their most extreme, these interpretations perpetuate a myth that Hartley was a lesser version of STC—a drifting wanderer, constitutionally incapable of being grounded in the real physical world. Such readings argue that Hartley adopted a child-like persona to withdraw from the world and to fulfil STC’s celebration of Hartley’s childhood as an ideal state. Judith Plotz, for example, in Romanticism and the Vocation of Childhood, asserts that, both biographically and poetically, Hartley ‘stakes out the territory of the miniature, the youthful, and the minor’.1 This analysis fails to address the full complexity of Hartley’s endeavour to realise his own authorial identity. The dialogue with STC in Hartley’s verse provides no evidence of an overriding Bloomian ‘anxiety of influence’. A closer examination of the four key poems which Hartley addresses to his father reveals that Hartley’s conflict was more with his public image than directly with STC; the strongest emotion in these poems was directed towards his readership and their inability to differentiate between a poet’s public and private identity. In ‘Dedicatory Sonnet to S.T.
