Summary This thesis deals with the different ways in which Anglican Sisterhoods were portrayed in fiction and journalism, both religious and secular, in the mid-nineteenth century. It examines the influence of anti-Roman Catholic and anti-convent literature on these portrayals and considers whether there was any significant interchange between Sisterhoods and the feminist movement of the mid-nineteenth century.

  • (1823-‐1901) by Lindy Bradley the Writer, Charlotte Yonge, Is
    CHARLOTTE YONGE (1823-1901) by Lindy Bradley The writer, Charlotte Yonge, is commemorated in Winchester Cathedral by the reredos in the Lady Chapel, a relief of the Annunciation, designed by C E Kempe. The proposal for this reredos was made to Chapter by George Sumner, Bishop of Guildford. He and his wife, Mary, founder of the Mothers’ Union, were living at No 1, Winchester Cathedral Close at the time of its installation in 1905, and had known Charlotte well. EARLY LIFE Charlotte Mary Yonge was born in 1823 to William and Fanny Yonge (née Bargus) in Otterbourne, a village near Winchester where she was to live all her life. Colonel William Crawley Yonge was a retired army officer, a veteran of the wars in Spain and the Battle of Waterloo and he had resigned his commission in order to marry Fanny, whose mother, Mary Bargus, refused to allow her daughter to marry a military man. He and his family lived with his mother-in-law at Otterbourne House, Charlotte’s home for 39 years. Charlotte was an only child until 1830 when, at the age of seven, her brother Julian was born. Their extended family was a large one and Charlotte enjoyed lively companionship with her cousins on holidays in Devon, but for most of the time she was alone in her own world, indoors with her dolls and the children of her imagination. She was happy but it was a solitary happiness. William Yonge built a small school in the grounds of Otterbourne House where the mistress was an elderly servant of Lady Heathcote’s.

  • Nineteenth-Century Girls and Authorship: Adolescent Writing, Appropriation, and Their Representation in Literature, C
    Nineteenth-Century Girls and Authorship: Adolescent Writing, Appropriation, and their Representation in Literature, c. 1860–1900. Lois Margaret Burke A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Edinburgh Napier University, for the award of Doctor of Philosophy June 2019 Abstract During the final decades of the nineteenth century girls’ culture flourished. As recent scholarship has shown, this culture pivoted on an engagement with fiction and particularly the periodical press. Magazines such as the Girl’s Own Paper and the Monthly Packet provided spaces where girls could benefit from being part of a larger network of contributors. The reciprocal reading and writing culture accessed through periodicals epitomised the experience of a creative and intellectual adolescence for many girls during the late-Victorian era. This thesis explores a discrete girls’ culture that was also cultivated in diaries and circulated manuscript magazines during this period. As these writings were shared with family or peers respectively, they can be viewed as tools of socialisation or ‘apprenticeships’ in writing, as well as in girlhood. Yet girls’ writings were also sites of resistance; in responding to the model literary and print culture in which they were immersed, girls cultivated an autonomous writing culture which hinged on strategies of adaptation and appropriation. Sociological theories of youth culture have demonstrated that young people actively contribute to cultural reproduction and change. When combined with theories of literary appropriation in this thesis, these insights shed light on the specific types of authorship which reflect girls’ simultaneous participation in and exclusion from a dynamic literary and print culture. This thesis analyses the development of girls’ literary culture in the late-Victorian manuscript writings.

I have endeavoured to share with others my impressions, my knowledge, of Charlotte Yonge. I have tried as far as I can to show her as she was in herself, so that her fine example may be made known far and wide, rather than to chronicle the small events of her very quiet life in regular order. In one way the task has been easy, for so consistent, so harmonious a life has surely never been described, and rarely been lived. Her daily life, her published writings, her letters to' friends and relatives, are all in accordance with each other. No inconsistent nor disappointing record has, or ever can, leap to light where she was concerned.

  • TARS Library Catalogue
    TARS Library The main purpose of TARS is 'to celebrate and promote the life and woks of Arthur Ransome', and a big part of that is the Society's own Library, with over 1000 books and other material. There are books written about his life, including the time he spent in Russia, reporting about events during the Revolution, and about his early life and how he came to be a writer in the first place. Ransome was the very first winner of the Carnegie Medal awarded by the Library Association (now CILIP) for an outstanding children's book, with Pigeon Post in 1937. The Medal is still presented every year, and we have every single winning book, right up to the present: almost a unique collection. We also have many other children's books, old and new, as well as the Swallows and Amazons series in several different languages. Arthur Ransome had so many interests and he owned books on all of them, and the Library has books on all of those subjects too – sailing, of course, fishing, natural history, crime novels, books by his favourite authors, such as Robert Louis Stevenson (a complete collection of his works) the Lake District, the Norfolk Broads, and even chess! Truly something for everyone, so why not take a look at the complete list here? Then, when you have joined TARS, there are a number of ways you can borrow a book: by e-mailing or writing to the Librarian and having it posted to you – you only need pay the return postage; by visiting the wonderful Moat Brae, home of Peter Pan, in Dumfries and arranging to see the actual Library there; or by attending the no less wonderful Literary Weekends, once every 2 years (next in 2021), where there is always a wide selection of books from the Library to browse.

  • The Decent Church That Topped the Neighbouring Hill
    Rosemary MITCHELL Professor of Victorian Studies Leeds Trinity University, U.K [email protected] The Decent Church that Topped the Neighbouring Hill: 1 C. M. Yonge and the Parish Church — Constructing a Conservative Community ​ ​ Abstract. — This paper, as part of of a broader project of the character of the conservative ​ imagination in the works of of lesser-known writers and painters including Lord John Manners, Daniel Maclise, and Alfred Austin, will consider Yonge’s representation of the parish church as a site for the construction of a Traditional Tory community, particularly in a natural setting. Key themes will be: 1) Naturalising the social order: how Yonge linked the ​ ​ religious rituals and practices of the Church to the natural rhythms and cycle of the agricultural calendar, and represented the natural world as symbolic of religious truth and social order. 2) Historicising the social order: how Yonge represented the church as a ​ ​ continuous presence in rural lives and landscapes, eliding or reversing discontinuities such as the Reformation. 3) Situating the social order: how Yonge figured the parish church as the ​ ​ physical heart of the community and its spaces as the site for the reiteration of the “chain of being”: quite literally the place where social order was built. Keywords. — parish church, religion, social order, natural order. ​ 1 The quotation in the title derives from Oliver Goldsmith’s poem, The Deserted Village (1770). ​ ​ About The Author Rosemary Mitchell (B.A., D.Phil, Oxon) is Professor of Victorian Studies at Leeds Trinity University. She is also Deputy Director of the Leeds Centre for Victorian Studies and Associate Editor of the Journal of Victorian Culture.
