    4 Verleger als Vermittler von Lesekultur Ausgangspunkt für den zweiten Teil der vorliegenden Studie sind die rekonstru- ierten Lesebiographien der Verleger. Wie Frank Swinnerton betonte, erforderte die Verlegertätigkeit ein gewisses Maß an literacy. Die Verleger der Fallstudien haben sich in ihren Autobiographien als kompetente Leser dargestellt, die über unterschiedliche Leseerfahrungen verfügten. Sie haben prägende Leseerlebnisse und Ansprüche präsentiert, die im Zusammenhang mit ihrer beruflichen Ent- wicklung standen. Im Folgenden wird der Entwicklung der Verleger Rechnung getragen und ihr Einfluss auf die Herausbildung eines distinkten Verlagspro- grammes resultierend aus der persönlichen Einstellung zu Buch und Lesen, auch unter Berücksichtigung der eigenen Autorentätigkeit, herausgearbeitet. 4.1 Die Chambers-Brüder: „Publishers for the People“ Zentrale Aspekte der Lesesozialisation von William und Robert Chambers lassen sich auch in ihrem beruflichen Werdegang nachvollziehen.Self-reliance und self- improvement sowie der gesellschaftlich begründete Anspruch, über Kultur und Bildung den Anschluss an die Mittelschicht halten zu können, fanden ebenso Ausdruck in ihrem Selbstverständnis wie ihr pragmatisches Nützlichkeitsprinzip und spiegelten sich in der eigenen Autorentätigkeit und im Verlagsprofil wider. Auch wenn die Brüder in einer gemeinsamen Fallstudie betrachtet werden, so ist es dennoch sinnvoll, die Berufswahl von William und Robert Chambers zunächst getrennt darzustellen. 4.1.1 Die Berufsfindung der Chambers-Brüder 4.1.1.1 William Chambers: „What would I be?“ Die berufliche Entwicklung der Brüder war eng mit der wirtschaftlichen Situa- tion der Familie verknüpft. Mit dem Verlust der Weberei 1812, den wechselnden Anstellungen des Vaters und schließlich dessen Arbeitsunfähigkeit 1816 wurde es notwendig den ältesten Sohn William in eine Ausbildung zu schicken, die ihm ein finanzielles Auskommen bot und auch zum Familieneinkommen beitrug.

  • GILBERT and SULLIVAN PAMPHLETS† Number Two
    1 GILBERT AND SULLIVAN PAMPHLETS † Number Two CURTAIN RAISERS A Compilation by Michael Walters and George Low First published October 1990 Slightly revised edition May 1996 Reprinted May 1998. Reformatted and repaginated, but not otherwise altered. INTRODUCTION Very little information is available on the non Gilbert and Sullivan curtain raisers and other companion pieces used at the Savoy and by the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company on tour in their early years. Rollins and Witts give a brief list at the back of their compilation, and there are passing references to some of the pieces by Adair-Fitz- gerald and others. This pamphlet is intended to give some more data which may be of use and interest to the G&S fraternity. It is not intended to be the last word on the subject, but rather the first, and it is hoped that it will provoke further investigation. Perhaps it may inspire others to make exhaustive searches in libraries for the missing scores and libretti. Sources: Cyril Rollins & R. John Witts: 1962.

Dagnell Choreographer: Will Bishop Musical Director : John Anstell Cast: Leo Stormont ( Sultan), Ada Reeve (Medorah), W.S. Percy ( Dadoolah), Jamieson Dodds (Vernon Grant ), Leslie Stiles ( Ambassador Manston), Margaret Campbell ( Mrs Manston) Songs: Tomorrow’s Another Day, There’s Always a Drawback, Like a Dream. Wonderful Joy, Hope Again, Love and My Soul Alone Story: In Caravanistan beauty is measured in physical bulk, the heavier the better. The Sultan’s eldest daughter, Medorah, is thin, too thin to be an eligible bride. Chancellor Dadoolah suggests she is sent to America for the purposes of putting on weight – a suggestion that delights her because she has fallen in love with Vernon Grant, the man who accompanied the American ambassador and his wife to a reception in the Sultan’s palace. They meet again in Washington, and when she is summoned back to Caravanistan , Vernon secretly follows. Meantime, after various adventures, Vernon is captured and forced to work as a slave in the Sultan’s household. With no hope of marrying his underweight daughter to a prince, the Sultan condemns her to marry his new slave – and thus Medorah and Vernon are happily united. Notes: The original publicity declared that “Medorah” was jointly produced by Mr. Bernard J. Hishin and Sir Oswald Stoll, but within a week of opening, the show was subject to a legal dispute in the Court of Chancery, with Violet Melnotte claiming (and winning) half-ownership in the copyright of the English version of this Dutch original.

  • Maurice Farkoa Was Born on 23 April 1864 at Smyrna, Turkey, the Son Of
    Maurice Farkoa Maurice Farkoa was born on 23 April 1864 at Smyrna, Turkey, the son of a French father and an English mother, his maternal grandfather being Sir Robert Wilkinson, the local English consul. After varied succes in his youth, including singing at private functions (at which he has always welcome throughout the remainder of his life). Farkoa was selected by George Edwardes to fulfil the part of Carbonnet in An Artist’s Model (Daly’s, London, 2 February 1895 ; transferred to the Lyric, London, 28 May 1895), during the run of which his songs included ‘Le Fou Rire’ (which he first recorded for Berliner in Washington DC in 1896, and again in London in 1898, 1899 and 1905 ; see below) and Leslie Stuart’s ‘Triby Will Be True’. The latter was written in the wake of the craze after the publication of George Du Maurier’s successful novel of that name. Farkoa reprised the part when An Artist’s Model was produced at the Broadway Theatre, New York, on 23 December 1895, following by a short tour. ‘London, February 9 (1895) - … Owen Hall’s new play, An Artist’s Model, was produced on Saturday night last at Daly’s theater. For this production, as already cabled, George Edwardes gathered together the strongest cast ever seen in a similar production, including Marie tempest, Lottie Venne, Lettie Lind, Leonara Braham, the original Patience of Gilbert & Sullivan’s opera of that name ; Marie Studholme, Hayden Coffin, William Blakeley, Eric Lewis and others and the prettiest and most celebrated choristers in London… ‘A capital succes was earned by Maurice Farkoa, a well known society entertainer, but a newcomer on the London stage, who is under a two years’ engagement to Mr Edwardes.

  • The International Scientific Series and the Communication of Darwinism∗
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo Journal of Cambridge Studies 27 The International Scientific Series and the Communication of ∗ Darwinism Bernard LIGHTMAN York University Abstract: In this paper I examine whether or not the International Scientific Series (ISS) disseminated Darwinian views of the relationship between science and religion throughout its existence as a unique experiment in publishing. Initially, the key players were Thomas Henry Huxley, John Tyndall, Herbert Spencer, and Edward Youmans, all evolutionary naturalists, and they shared a complex perspective on the relationship between science and religion. Although the ISS began as a publishing project devoted to the dissemination of evolutionary naturalism, I will argue that by the early 1880’s a new course had been set when the original founders of the series were no longer in control. Key Words: Darwinism, evolutionary naturalism, International Scientific Series ∗ This article is based on a paper first delivered at the conference “Darwin in Communication,” held at Peking University, August 26th-28th, 2010. The author is indebted to Professor Michael Collie for providing information on the International Scientific Series. The author would also like to express his appreciation to the University of Chicago Press for allowing him to draw on material from his Victorian Popularizers of Science from chapters 2 and 7, © 2007 by The Universtiy of Chicago. All rights reserved. Volume 5, No. 4 28 1. INTRODUCTION Over three decades ago, historians gauged Darwin’s impact on the relationship between science and religion by pointing to the popularity of John William Draper’s History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science (1874).
